Thanks for my hug this morning bro. I\'m still not able to sleep and so tired. But at least i\'ve been resting all day. It\'s been nice spending quality time on and off DS throughout the day slowly catching up a little more. Been ages since i\'ve physically been able to do this :)

I\'m going to chill out the best i can this weekend, try and rest, possibly sleep if i can. Possibly watch some programmes i\'ve taped. I\'m going to start writing thank u cards to u all very soon too and arranging things round my room :) Was lovely celebrating with u all and thank u again :)

Thank u for your comments on my pics :) Was luvly seeing the double rainbow! Was great my mum captured it on her phone camera :)

I\'m logging off for the night in a few mins and to try and listen to a chill out cd to see if it helps me get even a little sleep :)

I\'ll write back to u properly soon Chris. Have a fab weekend and i\'ll be in touch again soon.

Luv and Friendship hugs to u, your family and Holly xxx

Wonderful St Patrick\'s day backing Friday! Lovely memories there :)
I was sorry to read about your neighbour chucking stuff into your backyard. Is it worth your dad going over and having a word to her? Or, use it for a cool bonfire and don\'t invite her! hehehe ;)
Looks like Jenn had a lovely birthday, and those flowers are pretty special - they look really nice. I like flowers - and, you have some spring shoots - daffodils?? I like this time of year, seeing your gardens come alive again! We\'re supposed to be autumn here, but, we have temps forecast for the next week between 30 - 33 degrees (celcius), all week, with showers. It\'s just unbearable.
Sending you all hugs and love from boiling Brissie! xxxooo
