Evening ladies! :wave: wow it's so good to get the forum back can't believe how much I missed it, thanks to Martin and the techie guys for fixing it :T

lil_me Fingers crossed and positive thoughts for little Matthew x
Shell you did absolutely the right thing.

Not much to report here really, done no cleaning again, don't know what's wrong with me but at the moment I can't seem to face anything other than the computer I know it's hormone related and that it'll pass so it's not all bad.

erm.....that's it lol

Hugs shell and Lil_me.

Sadly my friend died on Friday. It was a blessing as there was no way she was going to get better and her family have been in no man's land for 8 weeks. She was in her 80s and had a good life and for that i'm very pleased. I'd only known her 8 years and she was fab! Her funeral is next Tuesday and I know it will be a celebration of her life.

Have I ever told anyone how much I hate accounts! Last year I got in a real muddle with my accounts and got so stressed. This year I was organised and did it on a weekly basis. Then I lost it all after putting it in a safe place. I've been hunting for it for three months! Today I had just about given up and I asked my friend to let me find it. I looked for the umpteenth time in the file where it should be. It was there! Unbelievable!

Have a nice evenings everyone xx

LJD1 - Hugs back at you hun! Sorry to hear you lost a friend but glad her passing will be a celebration of her life. What a sweetheart for her to find your accounts for you too. I so believe in that kind of thing (even if it does make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck).

Well not much more done in the line of flying here. Tea made, eaten and cleaned up after.

Also did DD1 pumpkin lantern for tomorrow night when she came home from school. DD2 had 40 winks so will do hers with her tomorrow morning before she goes to nursery.

Off to add some stuff to turbo lister. Thanks for the tip about the lawnmower, have folded it all down so taking up less space in garage until I can dust it off to photo in the spring.

I didnt see a post by Lil_me so not exactly sure what happened but sending get well vibes to little Matthew.

LJD1 .. I am sad to hear of your lovely friends passing, I'm sure she is in a beautiful place.. and not too far away.

Lil_me.. just checking in to seee if you've checked in with news of Matthew.. we are praying and hoping for his speedy recovery.. and that he is soon back home where he belongs!!

I've done nothing today.. Vacuumed the front room after hubby did his usual perfect job of looking after the children.. Tiddles raided my room, found a bag of marshmallows and a tub of sugar sprinkles and sucked the mallows and stuck them all over and sprinkled sprinkles all over my bedroom floor and the floor in the front room.. I said next time I need to take one of the children somewhere I'll get my sister to watch them. HE however was carving the pumpkin for the children would you believe!!?? I am furious with him!!

DS2 has had his dose of growth hormone increased by 1/3rd!!! (that is a huge amount) His growth hormone production was very low so he has been on replacement for 3 years.. it is working. DD4 is back for a growth review in December.

Oh.. and on the way home from hospital he was gooning about as usual and fell flat on his face, wrecked a new pair of school trousers and has a massive graze on his knee.. and he always gets an infection so I am putting AB cream on it now.

Payday tomorrow so I may feel motivated to do some super-flinging.. I feel I have done NOTHING all week.

Back later.. pee-time!!
