Going to make just one reply :)
Thanks for all the messages girls! (you know you are really somewhere deep inside even if you don't look it anymore cos the laughter lines hid it ;) )
Tia Mary: The boys are doing great and growing fast - Michael (8 already!) is top of his class in most things with little effort (we don't do school stuff at home for the most part - he plays with friends , inside or outside, on the Wii or on the computer) Alexander (6 ) is still a monkey and gets away with it with other people (i don't fall for it lol) cos he looks so cute.
Me-Judy : Don't worry i use them though some days they just don't want to co-operate and hold my coffee cup but even then i can usually make them type
Sunny: yeah my doc gave me some meds to deal with it and i ended up having a heart attack one night when the kids were sleeping and cos of my allergies the other options are a no go so i've added the pain from this to the list of things to learn to ignore as best as possible. He has said that keeping them warm helsp best and it isd one thing that helps on bad days :)
Gen: ouch sounds painful - what are they going to replace it with (or is that something best not discussed? )
Carole D: goodness that was a while back and yes it sounds like mine :) can't wait to see what you did with yours!
Sandy: glad to hear i'm not the only one - saw BBL drop in which was good to see :)
Karen, Queen of Squishies: i must apologise your royal highness but i found a pair of hug quilts when decluttering the stuff i'd put aside to sort out when i swapped rooms with oldest (so i lost my sewing room) there is no way i can complete these and it feels wrong to still have them here as they don't belong to me can something be sorted out?
Pat: of course i have chocolate.. that's like asking if i breath air ;)
Now all i need to do is get back into the habit of looking here ;)
