    Hello everyone:hello:

    Diva sounds like you are having a difficult time. Hope at least you manage to sleep better, as it is hard to cope with stuff with out that.

    Jackie Good luck for Wednesday from me too.

    Nothing much to do here today. Few cupboards to sort, bit of gardening, that sort of stuff.

    Went to a bootsale yesterday and bagged a few bargains. Tried to be more MSE than ever before and not come home with my usual load of old tat:o

    Good morning

    Another sunny morning which will be good for the garden but back to work today so won't see much of it. Didn't sleep at all well last night but at least it's just a training day today so not too much pressure.

    OH back today:j. Dinner will be grilled fish with new potatoes and salad (lettuce from the garden).

    Diva - good to see you back x
    Vicky A -glad you're ok

    Just about got time to put on WM and BM before work.

    Have a good day all.

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Good Morning All - already very warm here, such a beautiful day. Have walked younger dog as I find it too hot later, never mind how she feels! Older dog has to be dragged out these days, so I'll probably just let him potter in the garden. Trouble is the patio has now reached the "sand on top of hardcore" stage, so I get sandy footprints indoors! Chap doing it will be back on Wednesday as he's gardening for the next two days.
    Need to ring locksmith as our front door is jammed - all in and outs through the garage currently!
    JackieO - hope your hospital visits go well.
    VickyA - hope you feel OK driving back to school - I had a similar experience years ago and felt very shaken and hated roundabouts for ages afterwards.
    MSD - really good to see you posting again.
    Well, the kitchen would probably be condemned if it had to be inspected, so I'd best stop and get stuck in! Have a good Monday, folks.
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!

    morning all!

    wasn't around yesterday as I was a bit under the weather with a migraine, a lot better today although not quite back to normal.
    Am off to work later for a long shift but might try and finish a bit earlier if possible

    JackieO - good luck with your test x

    PP - hope you're feeling well today x

    VickyA - I gather you had an accident yesterday - hope you're feeling ok today x

    DH is in the process of selling off all his pigeon racing things as he has decided to retire, his health cant cope with all the hard work any more and he needs more relaxation time. Our plan is to start saving next year when we are debt free for a small camper van so we can go away for lots of weekends.
    OS things - washing out on the line, tea for the others from the freezer, mine for free at work! have had a quick clean through and thats about it for today due to work.

    Hope you all have a great day in the sun - remember your suncream!
    Do what you love :happyhear

    Good Morning to all

    MSD thank you for thinking of me, nice to hear from you. Sorry you are having a rough time.

    I am off today and back in work tomorrow, so no nasty boss to deal with today.

    I am going to join the June challenge to spend less this month, going for £250 grocery challenge, I do not know if it is realistic but I would have thought that for 2 adults, one child, 2 dogs, one kitten and a hamster this should be enough. I have a list and will do the bulk of the shopping today ( have menu planned) then will have to get the fresh stuff each week.

    We have chicken thighs with sweet onions tonight - however, got DH to get the shopping and he came back with skinless, boneless chicken thighs!!! twice the price of the ones i normally get, he does not like the bones!

    Also today will get eyes checked after laser surgery enhancement done last Monday - the surgeon was working BH Monday. The main surgery was done in January but I was not 100% happy with the distance vision that it gave me so they did the procedure again in just my right eye - now it seems brilliant. After 40 years of glasses wearing I can now wear proper sunnies not prescription ones.

    Going out to soak up some rays before embarking on the shopping.

    Have a lovely day all.

    Hugs to those in need.

    Morning to you all! :j

    How are you all? Sorry, but I didn't post over the weekend as the PC was barely on. The weather was far too good to be inside :)

    It's a glorious day here today, but there's fog on the coast. I've been hearing a foghorn since 7 am. So, hoping that it doesn't decide to move inland a bit.

    Hung a load of washing on the line before I left and the dog was walked before 7.30 this morning. Didn't even need to wear a jacket, like being on holiday!

    Got a short week this week, as I'm off to the mainland this weekend coming :D

    Have a good week and hope that everyone has a good day. Hugs to all those who need one

    Take care

    Morning everyone :hello:

    Feel like the walking dead this morning. Can't shift the cold and not enough sleep. :rolleyes:
    Have hung out a load of washing, cleaned the kitchen and bathroom, made the beds and washed the floor. Dog, cat and birds are fed. Off to the office in a bit as I have a lot to catch up on for the end of the month. need to do a meal plan and shopping later so no idea yet what's for tea.

    Welcome back Diva. :D
    Glad you didn't do yourself a mischief with the awning DG. :p
    Good luck at the hospital JackieO
    hope your uncle gets through today ok N9Eav.

    Bye for now.
