Can't switch off from it. So bloody awful! Those poor poor people No Dcaz, despair doesn't do it justice. There really are no words.... xxx

Aw, DSass" it's bloody horrible, isn't it?! Just awful - truly awful.

Yep truly awful. On a thread in Chat and poster just confirmed her daughter got home safely from the concert. It's beyond shocking!

Back at work. Horrendous about last night. My colleagues daughter was there but got home safe.

The missing 8yr old girl (same age as my DD) has reportedly died....It is truly vile! Glad your colleagues daughter ok drinkswine I think I am losing words now, other than fuck that!!!!

...am going to leave this here...

...heard it on the radio earlier and it really moved me...

....think the lyrics are incredibly powerful, even more so today...

....hope no-one minds me doing so xxx

😢

Heartrendingly beautiful, Sassy.

Hiya drinkswine.

Think we could all do with a virtual hug. XXX

Thanks Caz I have been giving out virtual hugs all day on WhatsApp, text, email, MN. Yours is very much gratefully received xxx

Morning sassy , morning caz. A day off. The news is really sad. We had it on yesterday at work and I watched parts in between sorting patients. We had some of the walking wounded. Kids for fucks sake. Why kids?

Back to work for me. Work at a Uni, wonder if security presence will be more obvious today.... Oh drinkswine didn't realise you were actually in one of the hospitals....right HUGE thank you for you and ALL your amazing colleagues for everything you have done and are doing. You are all utterly brilliant and I am profoundly grateful!! Soppy Sassy, LOL I hope you're doing ok?

Yes the news is indescribably sad as we learn of names and lives etc. I hope you manage some rest today. Better get going this end!

Morning caz!

& (((hugs))) all round x

Oh no....RIP Olivia Campbell

Are you a clever tutor sassy ?

Well have couple of degrees so hopefully reasonably intelligent drinkswine but nope, backroom stuff

Evening. Hope you're all ok?

So thought I'd share this inane image with you....

... am currently stealth watering my garden 😂

...have outside light that is movement sensitive so when bending down watering keeps going off!

...am a night watering ninja using the cover of darkness to sneak up on unsuspecting plants and soak them! Occasionally I come out of stealth mode to jump up and down windmilling my arms furiously to get a few seconds of light!

...t's all fun and games at Sassy-towers! 😉

Anyway....something a little lighter....hope you had a good day off drinkswine? And hope all ok with you DSis

Hallelujah! I'm up and running again - have had phone issues all day (shit EE).

Sassy - hope your day back at work was ok? X

drinkswine - hope you managed to unwind and enjoy a peaceful day off? X

Ahh! Hiya, DSass! Hadn't realised you had posted. You are loveably bonkers with your garden antics!

am currently waiting for my washing to finish so I can go to bed. I used some of that vanish to try and get DS2's polo shirts back to their former glory....3 shades whiter my arse!

Glad you approve Dcaz . Apart from phone issues, how's you?

Urghh...Sassycat is crunching flying things that came inside during my stealth watering session....boak!

Gast need to do something with DDs summer white school socks....which are very definitely not white....more tan tbh! Won't try Vanish then

Ahh! Welcome back, MyGastisFlabbered! Nice to see you back on the thread. Good luck with your laundry.

Thank you Caz I've been a bit in hibernation mode the last few days. Yes the vanish was a bit shit, it would have been cheaper to replace the shirts

I'm bearing up, thanks, DSis - the atrocious recent events etc - difficult to process when you're also dealing with your own very difficult personal bereavement aswell. But, in the realm of things, all good. X

Hugs lovely caz, so sorry to hear that....always happy to listen if you ever need to share

I had a moment earlier. Reading DD bedtime story and final paragraph had something along the lines of having hope in human beings' ability for goodness in the face of extreme darkness. I burst into tears. DD gave me a cuddle and told me it would be ok

Glad you're ok...ish...xx

just called to say i love you

for cheering me up after a difficult day at work and off course the sadness of the latest news from Manchester.

Hi SingaSong, nice to read our ramblings helped to put a smile on your face
