Good morning all

Happy Birthday JackieO. I hope you have a lovely day. I know your lovely family will do their best to spoil you.

I'm off out today. First to slimming world with friends (I have to go to class, doing it alone never works for me - I need to be accountable to someone other than myself), then I'm going for lunch with one of them. My friend also needs new trainers so we'll have a walk around the shops. I don't need anything but it's an indoor walk and every little helps.

It's frosty here so not looking forward to losing the feeling in my hands while scraping the car, but I think it's only the fourth time that I've had to do it this winter so it could be worse. I'm so looking forward to warmer weather as we move closer to spring.

Take care all of you.

Good Morning all

Morning everyone,

Many happy returns of the day JackieO hope you have a lovely time with your family x

It was snowing when we went to bed last night and there is still a bit lying around, it's very cold.
Yesterday was successful in that we picked up some smashing curtains for the dining room, they as heavier so will aid in keeping the room warm and look very nice. We also picked up some new shades for the overhead lights and moved the crystal/chandelier type ones up into our bedroom, they look much better in my boudoir
Today I have a friend coming to mine and then we are driving on to meet up with another pal to take her out for lunch, she can't drive at the moment due to health problems and has booked a table for lunch at a pub in her village, will be great to catch up on all the news.

My DOH has some leftover pasta bake in the fridge, will see how hungry we both are later and if we want much supper.

Welcome to little Bobby, hugs to all with sleep problems, keep warm and safe folks x

Good morning chums and thank you all for my birthday wishes ,I am such a lucky lady to have so many friends both in the RW and on here in the 'virtual 'one. I had so many card to open this morning and my youngest Dd is coming to visit me today as its her day off and I am going to dinner at their house tonight, so will see three of my handsome grandsons.

Eldest DD Shelley is coming after work finishes at 4.00.and I believe my DGD Holly is going to pop in at some point today as well.

DGS Danny will facetime me later from NYC its only 4.00 am out there at the moment so he will be fast asleep.

The snow arrived around 3.30 this morning as when I looked out it looked really pretty, but its not too deep, and will be gone mostly by lunchtime hopefully. The roads are clear at least, and its only slightly thin covering on the paths.

dumpling my DD has a rescued westie called Ted and he is a real little character and full of charm, the family all dote on him, her middle aged Jack Russell Lexi looks at him a bit distainfully at times as he is very energetic, and she is far more staid :)but they get on well together and are company when the family are out.

Every day the days are getting longer and closer to spring and lighter evenings thank goodness. I'm sure we will soon be complaining about the heat

Right time to get the coffee on,thanks again chums for your birthday wishes its very kind of you all

Take care and keep warm if you can

JackieO xxx

Thanks Nelski a drop of decent gin will make things seem so much brighter and think of it as a medicinal aid to help you cope with your Mum, xxx

Happy birthday JackieO, I hope you enjoy your day.
Jackie you have mentioned that you have a few loyalty cards that give a "treat" when its your birthday, just wondering if you have a Bodyshop loyalty card which gives a £5 treat on your birthday? (I got some nice conditioner with mine this year)
