    Good to hear from you Dizzy. Now on that sofa with CY and get some rest.

    Thanks michelle. Hope all is OK with Natty.

    Awake during the night due to eldest teenager not being at home and no idea where he was. He was Pokemon hunting at 1.30am of course. Sinuses still a bit stuffy but not painful thankfully.

    Busy day ahead. Gym class tonight. Curry for tea from mealplan. LR needs a good hoover. Have a good Wednesday everyone x

    Oh just realised I have 8 days at work before I have a week off - yippeee!

    Good morning all,

    Sorry for being awol again :o DH had to go away with work for the week at the last minute so I have been flapping around trying to get stuff done for grandma, do some paid stuff and entertain the small people. I fear my grief may hit me in a big wave after the funeral next week and I'll crash - here's hoping not.

    The poor dog is riddled with fleas even though we treat her regularly so I have been boil washing everything in sight. Poor love is still scratching, I really hope the treatment does its job ASAP.

    Today's plan - a visit to the big blue & yellow shop for brekkie :p DD can go in the little nursery there for an hour and I want to get some bits for DS room.

    Dizzy - hope you are ok love - take it as easy as you can xx
    Piggers - we miss you!

    Welcome, and hello, to all new and retuning fly ladies. Would anyone be up for a Yorkshire meet up at some point?

    Take care all xx
    MFW :)

    Morning all. I am off to my sister's today, she has had the first lot of chemo since the op so hygiene is the order. No doubt I will be kitchen and bathroom cleaning as well as being with her as her hubby is away for work for two nights. Gives my mum a break, too. On Saturday I am helping mum's NDN who has a fundraiser for cancer. She lost her daughter to an inoperable brain tumour some time back. Maybe 3 years, not sure. Mum was asked but it's not her thing (selling). In fact it's reminded me of my reaction when someone asked why I didn't take her to help me at a car boot. As skilled and intelligent as she is she would be hopeless, she has never been to anything like a car boot or a jumble in her whole life! It was at work and I nearly choked on my lunch at the thought of it!
    Before I go I want to catch up with the ironing and clean the dining room.

    Valli hope things go ok at your sisters and she is as well as can be.

    Natty, the gentlest of supporting and coping hugs for you my lovely. It is such a difficult and brave decision to make. It is obvious how much you love jet and that you don't want to prolong his suffering. Don't worry about us or the lists just concentrate on yourself and your loved ones. Go and get some rest yourself while jet is sleeping.
