Evening all
Very late post from me, we've had serious pc problems, but I think it may be ok now.
Lovely to hear from you Smokey & you too PP.
The She-wee's are very good my dd uses one when she goes to music festivals & is training DGD to use one too, this is probably TMI, but I can 'go' standing up, not sure why, lol, but I doubt I could manage it standing in a boat!
Halight, glad the twins are doing well, my oldest was prem & spent a while in SCBU, he's 32 now.
Have a good evening everyone.
Hugs Hester

Been thinking of you pen-pin. Hope you are feeling ok although I know that things are hard. Enjoy the quiet times when DD is away. I know that when we are here on our own we hear ....silence .

Been out for last walk with dogs and thinking of going off to bed soon with a new library book - The Distance Between Us by Maggie O'Farrell. Anyone read? I loved The Disappearing Act of Esme (Lennox??) - so moving and v sad.

Night night all

Hi guys,

Thank you for the lovely welcome back.

The patio and path are now transformed from black decorated with red splodges of fence paint to a lovely clean yellow. However it took 6 hours :eek: in between various interruptions from the kids and their friends. Why is it at the moment that every job I plan takes hours longer to get done? Still I am pleased that this one is done. I also power washed the fountain that Eric bought for the first garden we had and that has come up a treat too. Tomorrow I hope to get it working, also power wash the patio set and then stain it up.

The painting will be along at some point this weekend. :rolleyes: As I have the 3 weeks off there are 2 aims. I to finish the gardens as best as I can without help and then get someone to help with the jobs I can't do. 2 to decorate the kitchen.

We had pizzas for dinner today and a chip shop tea for ease, not very OS, for tomorrow we are having chicken and baked potaoes and DS1 has asked for a full english for dinner.

Pen-pin, hugs to you honey, you are in my thoughts as always.
Does anyone know how Sunnygirl is doing?
Hugs to all in need and I hope you all have a good night.

Hi Smoky

You made me think, we haven't heard from Sunnygirl since 22nd July when she was not going to take Tamiflu due to side effects, hope she is OK. Let's hope she pops on and let's us know how she is doing.
Well done on the Power Washing, it's been doing its stuff on our drive and patio today.
