    :wave:Morning All

    Has anyone done a Test Shop this morning?
    I am contemplating a visit to A but as it is 20 miles away I'm not sure if to risk it at the moment, especially after the weekend uncertainty from Friday shops:huh:

    Thanks again for the list update 3Dogs, I bet you can't get all that list in your W Store? (I find it a strange, grubby place - or was when I last visited)

    Fingers crossed for us all,

    ChelseaFred:)

    Hello Fred:D
    All seemed to be working yesterday and nothing appears to have changed this morning. I'm trying today RG but can't get my bum in gear:rotfl:

    Sat in the garden having a well earned cup of tea, although there is a slight chill in the air it looks set to be a nice day :) by 8 o clock this morning I had done my 10000 steps so think I will treat myself to some chocolate covered blueberry things :)

    Taking ages to post, then timing-out, sorry for duplication, I've tried deleting the duplicate but it times-out during that process too, all this reminds me of Ye Olde Dial-Up Days...

    TM & Enterprise....thanks both x
    It's been so difficult to come up with a idea of what to do,and school were very good about making some wonderful suggestions of a way of remembering.

    We've finally settled on something that actually is so fitting to us all as a family that overall we are pleased and amongst it all it means that the school can also continue to support a charity that meant a lot to both our sons during their time at the school.

    Good morning all....

    firstly the quick toiletry update.
    nothing In and 2 out....a sample body lotion and a full sized night cream.
    Need to start to get a grip on using up odd bits of things so hopefully next week might seem better in terms of outs.

    At the moment I'm equally excited and scared to death...I have something to do at the end of the week that will make me both so proud but so very sad in equal measures...I'm hoping I get through it in one piece and with minimal tears but however it pans out Thursday will be a day that the 3 of us face together as the unit we are.

    What are we doing....we are presenting a shield at school prizegiving, it's been dedicated in memory of our shining star and we are awarding it to the first winner for their contribution to a part of school life.

    Have a lovely day....

    How wonderful what a lovely thing to do..that sent shivers up mine spine, but also reminded me of my daughters best friend who was tragically taken from us 11 years ago..they grew up from 6months old together til 21 years old.:A
    She lived life to the full and was a very keen kick boxer and had won many awards...now every year at the school she attended with kick boxing they have a cup in honour of her which her parents present each year. It was hard at first but now each year goes by they can congratulate a young person achievements and also still be a part of the association they she was fondly attached to...
    memories :)
