    Missed most of the post over the weekend as had problems with the thread but hope everyone is feeling great and if not great than at least OK. Those that aren't hope you feel better soon

    Rach- good Luck for the weekend and hope you are not too busy :rotfl: although I am sure that you probably have a million and one things to organise , if not more.

    Morning, wont get any flying done til this evening as LO is in hospital today getting xrays before her surgery tomorrow. May get them to do my ankle at the the same time as some stupid cow stamped on it during my game yesterday and i'm hobbling around like an idiot:mad:
    On the plus side hubby dvd collection sold for £720:D And my mum sent me an email to say she'd had a bonus at work and had given me and my brother 'a little something'..... £500:D :D
    I love my mother, moneys been really tight lately so had a very profitable weekend.
    Need to go and get LO ready, place will be spotless tonight, i always clean when i'm nervous.
    Hope everyone has a lovely day, is it raining everywhere else too?
