    Morning Everyone
    At last after formatting and re-installing Vista I am back working from my laptop (Had to wait for a neighbour from home and here searching my spare room for my disks)! Got it going yesterday morning to find the site down! Glad to see it back, and glad to be back.

    Hope everyone is fine (((hugs))) all round.

    Morning N9EAV and all you lovely people who will follow - boy, have I missed you all.

    First of all - WELL DONE, MARTIN, AND ALL YOUR TECHIE FRIENDS for getting us all back together!

    I see we've been joined by some lurkers which is great. WELCOME to you all!

    Well, as you all know, my MIL has been very ill for a couple of weeks and, unfortunately, on Saturday evening, she had a heart attack and died shortly after; it was expected, though I had hoped that, because she was normally so hale and hearty, she would pull through. It is a blessing because the brain haemorrhage she had had damaged her brain and, had she survived, her quality of life would have been very low. So, we are all glad she is not suffering but sad that she has gone.

    I can't believe how much I have missed MSE - I could have done with the distraction; the whole weekend seemed unreal and very long. My house has had a lot more attention than usual and I've done a lot of baking, paperwork and other bits and pieces in between answering lots of phone calls from family (MIL was one of seven sisters and two brothers who are scattered all over the world) and, also, just talking to DH about his Mum and life in general.

    Well, I need to go and have a shower so will join you all later; I am SOOOOO glad all Martin's hard work over the weekend has brought us all together - I've really missed you all.
