Happy Easter
Son and DIL had a horrid start to the week. Their buyers pulled out, so the flat is back on the market and our spare bedroom is once again full of their clutter. That night Lucy Lou, the little white cat they've had for two years, failed to come home. First thing the following morning they had a call to say that she had been hit by a car and had died immediately. Since they live in a flat with communal gardens they asked if they could bring her here and bury her. She now resides in my unofficial cemetery with; Kizzy and Elmo - cats who died in our house fire; Boris and Harry - cats hit by cars; Wally - cat who died of old age (17 years); Tyson - house rabbit; Milly and Ivan - pet rats; Scruff - guinea pig; Whisper and Hannibal - Hamsters; numerous goldfish; 2 placentae; and the obligatory assortment of wild mice and birds. Jack's Daddy believes we also have a pony buried in the garden,a wind-up by daughters, we don't.
Lucy - Lou 
Off now to buy black-out blind for babies room. We are baby-sitting Amy tonight and she has this unsociable habit of waking with the rising sun, I am hoping to and fool her, and hopefully get a couple more hours sleep.
Hubby is still not smoking, it's 6 weeks tomorrow, he has done so well. I am still allowing myself two ciggies a day, one after breakfast and one after 9 at night. I always have the morning one, but often leave out the evening one. I wouldn't say that either of us are happy, but those around us are.
Anyway, have a good Easter.

(15.4.06 14:46) Happy Easter to you and your family =) |

(15.4.06 15:58) Nicola - I have to be honest and say that some do have crosses with names and dates. MJ - Thankyou |

(15.4.06 18:11) I'm sorry about Lucy-Lou. I remember when Lilly got killed how awful it was. ...and I can't believe Mr MWM has given up smoking! Are you sure he doesn't sneak one when he's golfing or has he given that up too because if that's happened then I fully expect the Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse to come riding by very shortly. It's 12 years since I stopped smoking, properly. It does get easier - honest. Have two sweeties - for moments of weakness. |

(16.4.06 15:49) Ian - He is a non-smoker, even when golfing. I have proof, Bob, is giving up now, as well, because he is the only smoker left in the Golf Sect. I have magically changed the sweeties into nuts, thats what we nibble when the urge to put something in our mouths becomes too great. Thankyou. |
