I have just had an enjoyable time looking at soop's pictures and photos. Great paintings, and if I did not live here I would like to live there!

Golden Yay...the more the merrier!

Yes please for a sleep over SOOP grin

Well, when I mentioned to Mr soop that we're to have a sleepover, he suggested that Bags might supply some tents...we could all camp on the beach...have a bonfire and barbecue. Mr soop will act as butler and supply us with cocktails. Imagine sitting on the seashore, as the sun sets behind the islands of the inner Hebrides getting plastered, high as kites and enjoying our ourselves in a perfectly improper fashion grin wine cupcake

Hang on nellie That Donald's trouble! Our feral cat Rory, growls at intruders. Can you image the fracas if Donald pays a visit! As for the leopard print onesy...he'd go mental. Mind you, if the RSPCA man should turn up, he might well approve of your crafty feline disguise and take you back to his place. wink

Oh wow soop can we have a virtual sleep over have got my leopard print onesy and my polar sleeping bag ready....popcorn,marshmallows,wine,Donald,....

Whenever I visit this cosy "chat room" I'm bowled over by the messages of comfort and support. I wish that we could all gather around a round table groaning with delicious refreshments and talk to our heart's content. If only! We'd probably need sleeping bags, so that we could have a sleep-over. I promise to keep you updated about the GN first anni article that will appear in The Lady [hopefullly 22nd June]. If I'm not allowed to advertise the magazine, I'm sure that the name can blocked by our good friends you know who. wink Once again, a huge THANK you. I'm so lucky to have you all. flowers

Soop.... {smile], only just read thro' this thread but it seems you have had masses of love and support from everyone, just adding a little bit more from me!

soop, I feel for you. You seem to have got your equilibrium back but there must be moments when you feel quite bleak. I'm glad you have your visit to the wee man to look forward to. flowers

soop I can empathise with your troubles, having had a year of real strife with ex-DIL and my son last year. These things become momumental for a while and then both parties move on in their own way. Having a calm approach from you will be invaluable for them. flowers

Soop, so sorry you have been having such a tough time. You seem to be coping with it amazingly well, with courage and compassion.flowers

Your own approach to the family's problems will be so helpful to them, soop, I'm sure. Lots of love and compassion go a long, long way. flowers xxx

So glad you're feeling a bit more optimistic, soop. I think you have exactly the right attitude, and I'm sure everyone will appreciate a bit of calm and TLC from you and Mr Soop. smile
