    Smokey you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.



    I'm trying to find a way of keeping the knitting thread open. Hopefully we can move it to the charities board. Please leave it with me for a couple of days. The team aren't likely to be around on a Sunday.

    Hi GINGHAM - thanks for that! Fingers crossed!

    SMOKEY - Im sorry to hear about your bad news, really don't know what to say, sending hugs your way though.

    Well Friday me an OH went to the cinema to see Jumper, got to the cinema to find it wasn't on eventhough it shows on the website as being on at the mo :rolleyes: assistant at the cinema said the website is not always updated (well whats the use of it then :mad:) Nothing else on we fancied watching so went to the DVD hire shop and hired out Stardust and came home to watch it with the kids.

    Yesterday went to Falmouth for the day, pop into the town for a browse around the shops, ended up buying a new WII game and found a Kodak easyshare camera docking station in the Boots clearance for £2.50!! paid with ad card points so really free!!

    Took the kids swimming after then up to castle point for an ice cream *yum*

    Today I've mainly been cleaning and baking. Put a load of washing on, and the washing machine broke again and was flashing fault on the display :rolleyes: The engineer was meant to of fixed it on Weds :mad: But turned it off and turned it on and it worked again :rolleyes: If it happens again though I'm gonna have to ring them again as it's obviously something that needs sorting :rolleyes:

    Have made some hot cross buns today aswell as some pineapple and coconut muffins so the house is full of that lovely sweet baking lip licking smell lol Pork in the oven for tea, so am now just having a break for an hr whilst I watch a bit of grand prix with OH, and the kids, eventhough the kids don't seem the slightest bit interested lol

    Right off for now, hugs to all

    Smoky darling, so sorry things have gone downhill again :grouphug:

    Was just coming on here to have a moan about useless Tesco staff, London buses that don't turn up, the yucky weather, PMT, and the fact that Woolworth's don't sell squeegees. However I do realise that these are just petty gripes and I'm so lucky not to have any real problems.

    Also wanted to send a hug to Benthosboy - I haven't posted for a few days but have been reading the threads (browsing MSE is easy to do on my new mobile, and I've taken to doing it on the bus, however posting is not so easy as it will only let me log on temporarily, and it's very slow, like writing a text message...).

    Had a lovely service this morning for Palm Sunday.

    Oh - and I saw the pics of the meet the other day! I'd met a few of you already, but Gingham and donny-gal both looked just as I expected!

    Love Rzl xx :wave:

    Csarina - give us a GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    exoh has just turned up - alerted to scenes of appalling child neglect by the above named (not you csarina, dd) who had texted him to say that she's starving, there's nothng to eat in the house and never is and she wishes it was a Daddy Weekend. I know all this now because ... ahem .... i was cleaning her mobile and her outbox accidentally fell out and opened into my lap ..... ahem.

    The potential pathos of the scene where the grim faced determined father bashes down the door of the evil witch's hovel, scooping up his beloved dd into his manly arms before riding off to the nearest caff on his faithful white steed were somewhat marred by the fact that by the time he could be a**ed to get up the heroine of our story was tucking into a big plate of peanut butter sarnies (HM bread of course) and playing a lovely game of cards with the wicked witch of west london.

    They have gone off to Mr T for some reason - fridge is bursting at the seams so hope they don't buy anythng perishable - and I am fuming as now I'll be stuck with him all day.

    Smoky - continuing to send positive thoughts to you
    Martyn - hope you're having a better day

    I'm not doing very well at stringing words together at the moment but I'll try.

    The support and kindness that I've been given lately has lifted me beyond belief and I feel stonger than I have done for quite a while now. Smoky, my support is your support. It's given unconditionally, freely and with genuine love so please take it and gain the same strength that I have from it.

    Martyn.
