    Morning All
    A very quick post from me this morning, yesterday was a nightmare, with kids having water fights, ordinary fights, triggering the fire alarms, engineers trying to mend machinery, my DD snapping her car key in half & finished with me have to do an impromptue talk at WI as our speaker dropped out!
    Anyway, have a good day one & all, hugs to those in need, Smokey you are amazing.
    I have to go, the mouse & keyboard aren't working properly, they seem sticky.
    I think I'll go & wash my hands.
    Hugs Hester

    Morning all,

    Congratulations granny tru :) Glad little 'un made it through the night, they are soooo cute.... Loving all the pics of cute springtime baby animals :)

    (((((smokey))))) - a good GP can make the world of difference. As others have said, you are an inspiration. Just make sure you look after you as well as others.
    Hugs for anyone else who needs/wants as well.
    Wonder what GrannyBroon has been up to on her holiday..??? (cue Aussie...)

    Must get up & moving - sure I've forgotten something though.
    Have a good day all.

    Ergh, ergh, ergh........ After having read your blog I'm not surprised. Have you thought about changing the locks when she's out one day & pretending you moved to the other end of the country....?!?!?

    Morning everyone,

    Tru - great to see the piggies and Reggie had a good night :D

    I woke on the sofa again this morning :rolleyes: must really try not to do this as i`ll be shattered later on, looks like i`ve had company though the little oldie doggy stayed down here with me and the cat is in a chair so only one hound went up to bed.

    Outside the weather looks lovely again so i`ll be off down the garden for an hour or so soon.

    I can`t hear any noise from upstairs so i`d best go and check on Mr Sunnyday as he usually leaves the house at quarter to eight :rolleyes:
    Have a lovely day everyone.
    SD
    Planning on starting the GC again soon :p

    Good Morning everyone ,a glorious morning here in North kent ,the sun is shining and the sky is blue and all's well in my world I have finished my chemo and yesterday went for my 'tattoos' for the radio therapy I did ask for butterflies but sadly they only do crosses where I will be getting 'zapped' starting on the 19th may for four weeks .I am feeling full of beans at the moment and today I am off to Sittingbourne to buy my youngest grandsons birthday present I can't believe he will be four on the 1st June where does the time fly to.
    My hair is also starting to grow again and I have almost a No.1 so my son-in-law tells me It looks more like a five o'clock shadow to me though lol
    After we pick Mikey up from nursery we are taking him to the country park this afternoon I must smother myself in factor 50 first though as I am very light skinned and burn easily
    I am off on my hols to Colkirk in Norfolk next month for a week with an old pal of mine ,she managed to find us a nice cottage so it will be lovely, as by then all the treatment hopefully will be finished.Life is strting to pick up again at long last .I will get to sit in my garden and raise a glass of my beloved G&T after 12 months of abstinence Yippee
    <<hugs to those in need>>. and a great big smiley face to the rest of you .Have a great week-end the weather is looking good as well.

    Hi Everyone,

    I was up early this morning too (With contractions coming one every 12 mins or so), but didn't want to come on the board until after at least some of you were up so I could read what you were all up to! I didn't realise how dependant I have become on knowing what you are all doing!

    DD had decided that she wants ham and cheese sandwiches for breakfast (she has only just woken up) and so that is what she is having! I am sticking with the more traditional toast today (yes I know I have eaten pasta for brekkie three times in the last week) as I believe the end is nigh!!!

    I will try not to spend today in a swimming costume (like I did yesterday!) and now I have to go as the washing machine in beeping!

    Hugs to all!

    Pip

    ewwww,ewwww,eeewwwww to the sticky stuff!! i dread to think why!!

    and ooooooo i so have to know what subject you talked on!!! my tiny little mind is boggling!!

    up early here so washing machine on,washing up done,kids fed and ready for school,general tidying etc done.
    i have a wedding tomorrow though and have no clue what im wearing as most stuff doesnt fit and the other wardrobe is buried by furniture from when we had new heating put in so i guess i'll be spending today trying to unearth that!!
    hugs where needed.....not read the thread for last few days so off to catch up xxx
