I am sorry you are having the anxiety problems and very impressed by how much support and help you provide for everyone I hope things get better soon.
After warning everyone I could think of about possible snow on the 17th I woke up this morning to find it had snowed through the night and was still snowing now!!! Glad I have a small grocery delivery coming this morning and already have food in the fridge etc.
Dishwasher is on and decided to have a low fat brunch later this morning and then tidy the kitchen as I don't think the cleaner will be able to make it this week. Really pleased I have manged to lose six pounds in two weeks even with birthday meals for a dd.
I have been going nuts buying baby clothes for dd and sil and taking advantage of the sales online to get some really nice stuff sometimes at a 70% discount and usually 50%. I have managed to get things in newborn, 0 to 3 months and also 3-6 months bearing in mind the seasons so very chuffed

The London trip sounds lovely and I hope you have a great time

Morning everyone and thanks for the start Holly, hope you get that steamed pudding
Dry and bright with some sunshine today, lovely. Off to the shops soon, we raided the stores a tad last week being snowed in and have a few bits to replace, other than that not a lot planned. Will obviously get over to see Lu later so maybe a little jaunt out on her.
I am supposed to be meeting up with my DB for a sibling meal tonight, it was cancelled due to bad weather last week so hopefully it can go ahead, I made a big batch of chilli last night so DOH won’t starve either.
RedRuby your birthday weekend sounds fab.
Do hope that you can get something sorted Dumpling.
Have a good day folks x0 -
Morning all,
Firstly, thank you for your advice regarding pensions yesterday. An overwhelming and resounding YES! I'll action it next month
Football yesterday evening was cancelled due to a frozen pitch, which left me some time to make some low carb cookies. Not the nicest, but they were never going to be given that they're 'healthy'.
Tonight is date night with my gran. Not sure what she has on the menu, and despite me saying I'm eating healthy, I bet she makes some sort of dessert. We'll sit in front of the TV for a bit and have a natter.
HH - That dessert sounds absolutely lovely. Right up my street!
Gers - The snow is quickly disappearing. Hope you get in ok.
RR - Belated birthday wishes! Glad you had a good day and the London trip sounds brill.
Dumpling - Starting the conversation is usually the hardest part, so well done. Plus Steve reacted well, this too should help you feel reassured.0 -
Morning ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) if you need one, especially Dumpling.
Just a quickie, I am off to Aldi in a mo and to put scripts in to the Dr.
No snow here but the sky is very dark and overcast. I want to get to Aldi and back before the weather changes.
OH was hoping to get up the garden to move stuff down to go to the tip on Sunday, but its wet, so he is not going out.
Broc and Cauli gratin for supper with baked toms and a couple of jacket spuds.0 -
TiredMum2 can your DS get the info if he logs onto the HMRC website & accesses his personal tax account?
Dumpling would your lovely Steve be able to reduce his hours to help you all and still keep his job?2021 Decluttering Awards: ⭐⭐🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 2022 Decluttering Awards: 🥇

Dumpling, sorry to hear how difficult things are for you and hope there may extra support for you very soon.
The news from New Zealand is very sad, there is no further treatment so palliative care is being organised, Because DIL is on maternity leave she is going out there for as long as possible and is taking both the children with her. My son will go out just for a couple of weeks to help DIL with the flights. It is 3 planes and includes a 5 hour stopover in Dubai. I will lend them the money as the cost is horrendous. Poor girl is so upset and just needs to be there asap. Ds is not looking forward to being on his own as they are a very close little family.0 -
Good morning chums and a bit of a damp start to the day but hopefully it will dry up a bit.
Had a lovely afternoon out with Margaret, and the 'Finding your Feet' film was really good, and we both enjoyed it. Went to W 'spoons for a bite to eat afterwards and had a very nice ham,egg and chips, and then back to her house for more tea and nattering She is coping OK but finds the evenings a bit hard I think.
General pottering day today with something from the freezer for dinner tonight probably some chicken with veg.
Tomorrow I have History club in the afternoon, then a big charity night quiz (Kent Messenger ) with my team in the evening at a local hotel with food and refreshments laid on. We went last year, and had a great time, and came home wth a few left over goodies as well.
Hope you all have a good day and its so nice that the days are getting longer at last and soon the clocks will change.
Take care all and keep warm and dry if you can

Morning :wave:
Woke up to snow this morning but not sticking as the floor is too wet. have to shut the conservatory up again its too cold to sit in there. Wish the weather would make its mind up. Not quite as much work to do today so will have a downstairs blitz.
Grabbed a mozzerella stuffed chicken breast out of the freezer so will have that with some veg later. Im cutting down on sugar at the moment after finding my skinny jeans are not quite so skinny any more
Think an increase in biscuit picking is to blame so have knocked that on the head. Not a scales person so will use the jeans as a guide to success or not
HH im now well jel of your sponge pudding ....have some for me will you
nanny dont forget the poor girl is coming round for thursday dinner later
redruby your weekend sounds wonderful...don't forget to bring back some Waldorf toiletries for your bathroom
brunch will be boiled egg and toast put off as long as possible to stave off the sugar temptation
Have a good day all and hope the snow boogers off for everyone soon 0 -
Morning all
Thanks for the thread Holly and hugs to all those in need.
CHS has been dropped at work, dgs dropped at school, I've had breakfast and hung up some washing. I've found someone to take over boat cleaning, I'm too busy helping my DD's to fit it in.
I'm taking my car to my ds today, I think the wheel bearings are going, damn!
DD1 is taking me for lunch tomorrow, DD2 is taking me for afternoon tea at a later date, both my Ds's are taking me and CHS for lunch on Sunday.
Have a good day everyone.
Hugs HesterChin up, Titus out.0 -
Poppy - such sad news. I hope that things progress swiftly for the benefit of all concerned. Dreadful times.0
