  • Have been so busy this holiday I will need another to recover :D:D

    Met up with lovely friend and had lunch and cakes

    lots of sorting and clearing

    lots of shredding,so boring but needed to be done. Only 1 carrier bag full left to do

    good nights sleep thanks to amitryptiline (sp?) but have felt a bit wasted today

    brisk walk round the local pond to try and clear my head, lovely in the sun but the wind is bitter cold and felt like sharp needles stabbing my face, which was the only bit exposed.

    reading book and watching tv snuggled up on sofa this afternoon

    baked banana muffins

    Chicken enjoy your long weekend x

    I am sooooo tired. In bed already but a good day at work.
    1) loverly pm from ampersandand not a pergola in sight
    2) got serenaded by a green bin outside the student union. It was singing 'sunday morning'. Surreal!
    3) free cup of tea cos someone had had a meeting in the it suite before and there was still hot water and tea bags
    4) no reverbing today but oh is getting a new laptop from work :D so that's a big saving cos she was thinking to buy it herself
    5) oh cooked scrummy meal from what was in the house. Chicken, mushrooms, a sad courgette, green chilli, onion, mayo and mandarins on rice. Some over for tomoz supper nom nom (notice how many of mine revolve round food lol)

    DundeeDoll, Sugro is a rubber compound, quite hardwearing, you may be able to use it as filler for the work surface crack . Have a look at this and see what you think. Sugro website

    Evening all. Thanks for the welcome. I have been a member for a long time, but don't post often.

    Skint yet again I smiled when you said you take Amitriptyline. I was prescribed these a fortnight ago for sciatica. When I looked at the patient leaflet it said: 1) to treat the symptoms of depression. 2) for the relief of bedwetting at night by children. My friend said, "If you do wet the bed, you won't care."

    1) Did my brother's washing and ironing
    2) Nice cup of tea with a generous slice of bread pudding that I made yesterday.
    3) Had my hair cut
    4) My daughter went to a parents' evening for her eldest yesterday and had wonderful reports on his progress.
    5) Made a nice spag bol for tea
