    Did all kitchen things until I got a message form3 my sister that my brother is in Itu and not expected to survive. Due to possibly a stroke or heart attack. Nobody knows right now.

    Currently getting !!!!!! on Jack and planning the playlist for inlicting upon the poor !!!!!!! from tomorrow morning.
    Anybody got a good fifties playlist? I've got to remember how to sing buddy holly, the big bopper and elvis, but after Johnny Burnett, my brain has already given up the ghost.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Hugs JoJo, I'm sure you'll remember every word to every song.

    Night all x

    Sorry I'm not the best at keeping up with this at the mo.
    Hugs to all who need them,
    I feel like I'm treading water, so far this week I've completely rearranged all the lounge furniture as well as our bedroom, they took a day each! I ripped up all the patio slabs as I got mad with them! I've learned to use a lawn mower and done mine and mum in laws. I've started cooking meals for mil as I can't be bothered to cook for myself, but I am doing loads of knitting and cross stitch as I can't sleep. I did get DS2s meds today as he was going to run out over easter if someone didn't get them! Found out he was born with a hole in his heart which may have contributed to the stroke, can't remember if I told you that. Had a walk into next town today to do some banking stuff so feel like I achieved a little there. GodDD is round tomorrow with her wife for lunch to break a long car journey up so will be lovely to see them and it will make me cook. Sorry I haven't back read yet, I need to catch up. Does bossy or FFP still post, I haven't noticed them for a while? Take care all and have a good easter weekend. Xx

    (((Hugs))) Jojo. Sing your heart out! Your brother will love it.

    I thought I'd done quite a lot today but have practically nothing to show for it. Lost an hour this afternoon on a fruitless errand :(

    Tomorrow will be busy, again.

    JoJo you need some Billy Fury, Alma Cogan, Dean Martin and Bobby Darren as well as Elvis on a fifties playlist just off the top of my head might think of more in a bit. Sending hugs my girls did the most heartbreakingly memorable but possibly worst versions of some of their dads favourite songs which I will now never be able to listen to in quite the same way again. Xx

    Morning all. I hope you all have a lovely Easter weekend. I'll be spending as much as of it as I can outside. We don't really go anywhere on bank holidays as being so close to the coast routes it gets a bit busy.

    MrsMP, you're doing really well. Bossy doesn't post any more, I miss her too. Your posts are very similar to hers when she was making sense of life after losing her husband. Hugs for you.

    Right, time to make up food for dogs and a little paperwork. Hot cross bun for breakfast I think.
