Morning Everyone

Sorry not had chance to read yet so (((hugs))) to everyone.

It looks like autumn out there today and I'm full of cold so feeling abit sorry for myself. DD is still in bed also with the cold from hell but I'm going to have to get her up shortly to go to MIL's. Just going to pack her into the car in her PJ's and she can get dressed when we get there.

I'm working this morning then have a busy afternoon with swimming and lots of errands to run. Tea is going to be sausage and mash which I really looking forward to.

Have a good day everyone

Hester - my DH gets pains in his shoulders. He was taking cod liver oil until the doctor said that it was responsible for the sudden increase in his cholesterol levels. He recommended glucosamine with chondroitin and it works really well; he hardly has any pain now. Well worth trying.

Well, he has just left for work so I shall hop into the shower and then get on with some baking before I tackle the rest of the paperwork.

NOT sunny here but not raining either. Apparently, we have a window of sushine sometime on Saturday afternoon, according to a weather forecast I've just read. I wonder if it will last long enough to get a barbecue organised?!

See you later.

Morning all

A grey day - looks like the sunshine we got the other day was it.

I'm going to wash my car and blitz the inside today ready for the start of term. It's a tip - I live in it in term time so it gets so much junk collecting, and wrappers etc.

OH in a funny mood again so haven't seen him for two days. May be a little illusive myself for a while because I find myself just waiting for him. I have wasted nearly a whole summer just waiting.

Going out for the day tomorrow - don't know where, but maybe a beach if the weather is nice (so prpbably a town because it won't be!)

Mioliere - will be fascinated to hear about the soap nuts - what does the washing smell like when it's done?

Hugs to all in need,

PO xx

morning all

cloudy here but hoping it will stay dry
WM on
eldest DS had a friend sleep over last night so there are two bodies snoring on the settees, they are all back to school tomorrow so im not letting them lie in too long.
DD is up as she has to go into college today so sort out courses etc for 6th form.
must check all uniform is ready and find lunchboxes pe bags etc this afternoon, i have brought all stuff that needed buying its just rounding up ironing and labeling that needs doing:rolleyes: .

Did some knitting last night and made astart on my next reading book.
planning on helping youngest DS finish his holiday scrap book today weve still got a few bits to stick in. then back to school and next stop christmas :eek: .

hugs to all those in want/need of one and congratulations to those with good or happy news.
Hester i hope you can find something to ease your shoulder, someone at the gym recomended cod liver oil to me for joints (but im veggie so its not for me)

Katt what film did you go to see? in any case im glad you enjoyed it.
Frugalswan i hope life turns a corner for you and brigs better things with it.

I ordered an owl monitor yesterday cant wait for it to come so i can run round turning thngs on and off to see what ive been wasting.
nearly brought a new (from the small ads in the paper) settee last night it was beautiful but just not the style DH had in mind so well make do with our shabby ones for a bit longer.

hope everyone has something to smile about today

Morning all,

Kaat, hope you've had a bit more sleep. Enjoy.
Frugalswan, I agree with CharliesMum, something else will come up & will be even nicer. It's just horrible having these sorts of problems when you really don't need them...
Mioliere, I thought I read somewhere that somebody else had tried soapnuts & they had marked their clothes. Knowing my DD's they'd wonder what they were & just chuck them in the bin..!! I do like the sound of them though, may well have to give them a try.
Aussie - if I could find a vomiting smiley... urgh. I have 2 cats now myself (they have been here a month already!) but that would still make me feel ill. Gruesome. I get fed up of next door's 7 or 8 cats all using my garden as a toilet (they don't use their own as their dog is always out...).
Dogrose, I know, I would be absolutely lost without online banking!!!! It's brilliant
JOannasMum, hope you & DD feel less coldy soon.. sniffle sniffle.....
Poppy, I put the little quote from a Mika song in my signature to remind me to try & get on with living, rather than constantly looking & waiting - and not enjoying life in the meantime..... (((hugs))) for you.

Over to Brighton this morning to meet a mate & have a mooch round the shops (or coffee at the Marina). This afternoon letters for the office need typing. Meatballs for supper I think - quick & simple.

Have a good day all. ((((((((((((hugs))))))))))) for all those needing them.

MIOLIERE Could you please point me in the direction of soap nuts, I'd like to order some, Thanks sweetie.

DD2 has just phoned from work, she woke to find the kitchen floor very wet, was about to blame the Labs but discovered the fridge had packed up, luckily we have a spare one that wasn't needed in house we rent so DH and I will take it down and dispose of the broken one. Just added to list of things to do. :rolleyes:

Morning all, hope you are all well

Hester - I take glucosamine and as my hips and wrists are painful, I have seen a noticable improvement too, so it might be worth a try. (I'm a natural sceptic too, so it must actually be working!)
Stef - hope you enjoyed the festival
moliere - I've not tried soapnuts, so will wait for your report
frugalswan, hope you get it all sorted ((hug)) for you
Hugs for everyone else that would like one today.

I'm stil writing, and am very bored, not much else happening. OH off to germany then to the US next week, so I will have the house to myself for a couple of weeks

have a good day, cel x

Sunnyday

Aussie - we used to have a cat that did the same some years ago.
We bought one of the enclosed litter trays which has a top that clips on and off. The problem was solved straight away.

Am off to have a coffee with my DSis then do Mum's cleaning. This afternoon I hope to get in the garden - lots of tidying up needed.
Weigh in tonight at SW - think I've stopped the same which is great as I'm at my target.

Frugal - hope you get the venue sorted!

Morning all

got a call from exbil last night about a massive outbreak of listeriosis in canada - one of the sources of the outbreak was somewhere where dd(11) ate twice so will need to keep an eye on her over the next three months apparantly.

Hugs to all - must dash to w*rk
