Well on my own in here for another day - only 3 to go and have completed 8 weeks Nothing to do no tidying - plants dont need watering tonite I've become quite used to talking to myself over the last few weeks and find my conversation quite witty and intelligent - who needs people lol Well little pips not long now till mummys back but dont get too excited or you'll make yourselves sick - dont worry if she is a bit distracted when she returns as she will have lots of catching up to do Sleep well all xx

Sneaks in, replaces biscuits she ate, together with a big raspberry pavlova and some Cornish clotted cream for peeps in need of comfort food. Stops at the candle and says a prayer for Lauren, my daughter in heaven with the angels. I know her granny and grandpa will be looking after her till I get there. Night night xx
