    :o Llovelies,

    Thanking you for your emotional support.



    I'm in very small pieces :o


    Thank you tweets too, even with your own family issues to deal with you have supported me :A


    Trying to sort out Northern lights but unfortunately they are September to April.... how long is our piece of string?


    I'll see if she wants to train it down to see Parents.



    Signing off as I m finding this so very hard ... I'm in background and enjoy reading about normal everyday stuff here.


    Love to Yo:Au

    If it's the train to parents, have a safe trip and enjoy the visit, both of you. I was thinking Northern Lights and as you say, how long is a piece of string ...............

    I'm sure there must be something else lurking in the background that would make it to the bucket list xx
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Sometimes my ingenuity astounds even myself. Drill a hole half way through your fizz corks, then they make ideal toppers to put on the top of your bamboo canes so you dont poke your eye. :D

    Any excuse to drink more :eek:

    Some of you may remember that I have two ladies with problems whom I've been listening to and helping them. I still see them and I'm getting texts and pictures as they proudly show me what they've bought yellow stickered. They're over the moon at how much their weekly spends come to now and know their families are getting good wholesome meals at a fraction of the cost.


    My thoughts to the poorly Elite and those low in mind and body. Step forward, help is out there for support to get you through. Try not to keep it to yourself xx

    Finally sat down. Made the mistake of harvesting the redcurrants and the gooseberries. Redcurrants will wait till tomorrow, but I got it into my head I wanted to get on with the gooseberries. I had to top and tail 800g of the things, then I made a gooseberry and yoghurt cake and some gooseberry compote, both of which are in the freezer. I also made some mini Victoria sponges to go with the strawberries, and then I had to make bread rolls and the soup for tonight.

    My back aches now!

    That would take me all day:o

    I'm planning a super productive day tomorrow.

    A Sunday well spent gives a week of content:D

    I'm getting up at 5 to fit it all in:)
