    Good Morning Chums ,
    well it's a sad day for Smoky and her children but with all our thoughts and prayers are going to her.
    I do hope you manage to get through today O.K. It will feel like the second worst day in your life ,but get through it you will and we are all here for you in the coming weeks and months . Pm me if you need a shoulder to cry on or just a rant.
    Believe me there will be times when you are weepy ,angry, sad,cross but also you will laugh again. Do what ever helps you to get through and if you feel like yelling 'It's just not fair ' then do so, I did.
    My thoughts and prayers are with you on this sad day Smoky,cuddle your children,as they too will be feeling bereft.
    God Bless you xx

    Good Morning All

    sending (((BIG HUGS))) to Smokey and her family on this day! You will be in our thoughts! Take care, and give the kids a hug from me!!! My candle is lit. xxx

    anniestar - I had a laptop for xmas, and to be honest, I do prefer to use the pc. I cant get on with the sensitive mouse. Hope you have better luck at it than me!
    dogrose - what a lovely idea ref the light a candle web page. Ive done one, but wasn't sure of the group, so I titled it MSE and signed it CC. After a good search, Ive read some messages from other MSE users. If it was me - I would very grateful for everyone's thoughts, wishes, words and Im sure Smoky will be too.
    Welcome to the newbies recently!

    Im so glad I wrote some of this last night &saved it, we're on page 3 allready and its only 9am!

    I must admit, after finishing work, I dont always get the chance to post/read in the evenings. I read last nights thread, but missed the nights before. I would be lost without the daily, and since dlb introduced it to me (yes girl - I blame you for this computer hogging), I'd be lost now! So a big thank you to everyone, who's helped me through my problems, or just gave general advise. And I have picked up some great tips too! Whether its Twinks Hobnobs or H's marbles! :rotfl:

    I didnt manage to get the washing done last night, but as load as just gone in now. I nipped to town y-day after work to pay the rent/council tax & the remainding bills, and car tax. Next month will see 1 more debt paid off - whoo hoo!!! :j

    OH bled my bathroom radiator for me last night. It was lovely to have my bath sheet warmed up, ready for getting out the bath! Might get him to go round all the others just to be sure, they've not been done in yrs! How often are they suppose to be done?

    For those who uses BM, can you please give me some advise for a first time user. Ive got one (inherited from my brother when he moved to Florida) and the ingredients, but seem reluctant to use it. I keep reading the destructions every so often, but it never sinks in! The problem with me, I have to be shown first!

    Right best be off
    Have a good day
    Love Emma xxx
