Hi all,
first and foremost huge ((((HUGS)))) to Smoky.
Next - :wave: to mumzyof2, as others have said don`t go and don`t feel left out i rarely get a mention personally but thats just the way things go, it`s not possible to list a message for everyone but i`ll try and give you a wave every now and then.
I`ve just read the thread and my memory is so bad that i can`t remember what everyone has done this morning never mind any other day lol
I stopped smoking years ago and then for some stupid reason started again lately i`m sick of it so i`ll be stopping again soon, hopefully tomorrow - but be warned i`m positively evil without my ciggies lol this house will be a warzone.
I`m intrigued as to what everyone was up to last night as i never got back on to catch up, better do that now and see what all the naughty girlies were up to
Catch up later

Old Style wise..... I've done more washing, 2 loaves are proving and I had to clean out the fire as the house is so cold I had to light it early.Tea is beef stew that I made yesterday which is heating up in the slow cooker.
Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.0 -

MUMZY - don't go, please. I didn't realise it seems that there are 'circles' of friends on this thread. I felt very shy when I first joined - a bit like a gatecrasher really, but, in no time at all I felt included and part of it all. It's the best thread on MSE as far as I'm concerned with never any sniping or arguing and I wouldn't dream of leaving - I'd be lost without all my virtual friends! Please stay! Good luck with the non-smoking!

Well, I've been to the gym - it was their first anniversary and they had a huge - I mean really HUGE - chocolate fountain with lots of bits to dip in it. Yum, Yum!!!
I feel saintly because I washed the kitchen floor, properly this time, on my hands and knees, with the chairs up on the table, and it looks as lovely as a freshly-washed kitchen floor can look!
Well, I'd better go and have some lunch and I need to put my bread in the oven as well.
See you all later

Well, I still haven't had any sleep yet, but my plan is to cook the main meal of the day now, then the girls can make their own sandwiches or beans on toast later.
It's chucking it down outside, so they are happy to stay indoors, which means I will try and grab a bit of sleep this afternoon.
I do have a headache now, but that's most likely due to lack of sleep.

Thanks for not leaving mumzy :j (and well done on not smoking!)
Edited to say: in response to your question about people meeting up in real life, I've met quite a few oldstylers nowI used to live v. near Penny-Pincher!! and ivyleaf, so I met up with them locally (though somehow never got round to meeting Churchmouse who was about the same distance from where I used to live as ivyleaf, just in another direction!) Plus I have been to a few organised and not-so-organised meets, and have made some really good friends especially Nelski, JackieO, Shez, SnowyOwl and Ticklemouse (where are Shez, Snowy and Ticklemouse, anyway? I haven't seen them posting here for a while...) Edited again to say... and Lillibet, and... oh heck, I'd better stop there, or people I've met will start getting offended because I haven't mentioned them
Bargain Rzl - You forgot me and Mr Catz! We're quite nice really too! :rotfl: I never get offended but do worry that I might offend others if I forget to mention anyone, I have a dreadful memory though! Hope you will forgive us Mumzy and stay!
Mr Catz is now recovering from the Bells Palsy and is much relieved but he is still very very tired so worried he might have post viral fatigue thingy, will have to keep an eye on that. Good news is that my friend is now home from hospital, difficult to believe that last week she was in ICU at our hospital! We need to go spoil her with some flowers now. But first I have to go do a mystery shop and as I haven't done one for ages I am quite nervous, need to get it done asap.
Thanks for the laugh last night btw you lot are totally wonderfully mad and I haven't laughed so much in ages :rotfl:
I was knitting a square at the time and had to pick up stitches several times!
(((hugs))) to Smokey and lo's I will be thinking of you tomorrow and praying for strength for you to get through such a sad day.
Catz xOur days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.
