CCP: the hotel sounds like a dreadful place.

What's really frustrating is that the hotel itself was lovely - it's a gorgeous old building that has been a hotel since it was built 300 years ago. As long as you stay in the public areas it's great - just don't try and stay there!

On the plus side, my DM has now found the tablets, so they weren't stolen at all, which is a great relief: I was more concerned about what would happen if someone did take them, as they'd more likely end up in hospital than high. :eek:

1) I had the day off today so I've had a lazy day, mostly sitting around and reading a new kindle book I downloaded last night.

2) LO takeaway pizza for brunch. :drool:

3) Counted up the coins in my puddy bank and I've got £46 of change, which will come in handy as I'm quite short of cash to tide me over to the end of the month.

4) Tried on a new skirt I bought online and it's going straight back tomorrow: I didn't realise that the 'side split' went right up to the waistband so everyone can see your knickers when you sit down. :eek:

5) Planning a lazy evening at home, sipping a glass of wine and admiring my increasingly floriferous garden.

ampersand

I'd sooner ask here; I can't work out a productive form of words to google, which will suggest plant names incorporating that of x's partner.
Does anyone know of any such sites searchable alphabetically, or would someone knowledgable be prepared to pm me for the name?

I'd be very grateful for guidance, apart from em'g RHS which I'll now do.

Chickenopolis

Good evening all !

CCP - More like "downers" ?? (Meds) The travlod*e was about £19.99 (Birmingham) it was clean . The hotel looked like a Connect 4 game , it was cold and the pillows were those cheap flat ones - but we went to some event at the NEC and it did us just fine

VJsmum - one day I will show you my wonky made up chicken face :eek:

PK - glad to hear that you are off soon on your travels in the COL

Sparrer - confession time. I fell asleep after 10 minutes of watching it......:o All's well with the world as Sparrer is in her garden x

Skintos and Mhagster Both doing the final countdown at work

5 for today

1. Getting used to slide off yer face make up. "Is there a face in that make up?" I hear them cry :rotfl:

2. No one "higher up" seems to be making any decisions at work about anything . Not good as team is imploding . Still I was out this afternoon making my own decisions - huh !

3. Finished at a reasonable time . Took terrier out .

4. Gave my ex brother in law some eggs as he dropped his grandson( my great nephew) at my DM's. My DGN lives in the big smoke so I don't see him as often as I would like to.

5.Made a yellow curry for tea shoved some courgettes and peas from the garden in it.

Have a good evening all!

eta - my kind of skirt CCP . I am such a tar*

Flowers, herbs, dead fly biscuits, & after me. Yes, SPARRA. We'll keep the Yellow thing burning here.

LFS Makes my five yearly, still, rrrrrrrrrrrrr inspection, otherwise known as a colonoscopy look feeble. At least I am still in the control group, only 16 of us left now. Cannot say about the rest. Mum died of it and so did MIL, Dad. In six months it will be the first OLAF moment. (Out Lived Another F). Mum BoP was 52.

No pleasure as away from Ms Whack

:rotfl: oh BOP you have a way with words

Chicken, thought so was the hotel at Fort Dunlop? I always thought that looked quite good.
Sorry AmpersAnd can't help
CCP - my legs are quite good, but only from the knee down
Skint, I did some mending yesterday too, must be something in the air

Today's pleasures

1, went to TK Mxximux after the school run and got DD some bits of presents to go with her main one of a new phone.
2. Accidentally bought a new purse, but as I haven't had a new one for 18 years I felt it was justified. It's lovely soft red leather and was greatly reduced
3. Lazy morning and then a conference with lunch thrown in, home before 3. RESULT :T:T
4. Went to DS presentation evening, as he had been awarded something. We weren't told what it was for, but embarrassingly it was for 100% attendance. The cut off date was 3 days before I took him to gLastonbury
5. OH has Gone for pizzas so no cooking :T

Have a lovely evening all

Perfect! That really made me laugh.

We are here but once, so enjoy it. Live every day. And be nice. When it comes to being ill, make 'em larf. I know, I have had a few occasions. Always in the thirst ten days ish of July. If I pull through this one, I go for another year, or there abouts. So I am off to look in the mirror, because there is no other like me. That is the same with you.

Now, wench, beer please!

Oh and Fort Dunlop. Did a job in the test house there a few years back. The wheel is too big and expensive to move, just wonder if it is still there. Dunlop tested their aircraft braking systems there. Suppose that is all sold off now!

Kittikins

VJsmum, made me chuckle too

1. You know what shining in the sky

2. Day off!

3. DD's sports day was fun, she ran her little heart out and was so excited that I was able to be there after all

4. Did the school run both ways for the last time, gulp.

5. Did a tip run, not very pleasurable but the stuff is gone!

6. Saw my solicitor and reminded him that I'd like to move as soon as humanly possible, watch this space!

7. My last ever Rainbows *sob* but it was good fun and the girls were lovely. They gave me a lovely frame with their self-portraits in to remember them by

Frith

I used to go past Fort Dunlop on the way home from Nottingham (changed trains in Brum). Only if the train went the Loughborough way, not the Tamworth way. Its a massive shopping centre now, BoP.

Here are my pleasures for today.

1) I don't think it has been quite so hot (though everyone else tells me it has - perhaps I'm getting used to it!) Was overcast for an hour or two this morning.

2) Waited for phone call from the council.... this gave me time to tidy up, do paperwork, order a sink for the major kitchen rebuild next month, watch Casualty, clean the floor....

3) Sainsburys man here.

4) Tasty porridge, pineapple and blueberries for breakfast then HM bread, hummus and peppers for lunch.

5) The council called and I went to see smaller son's new school! It is big (19 children at my primary school so anything looks packed with children to me). Lots of grounds, forest area etc. It is fairly new and built in an oval with classrooms all round the edge so each one has an outdoor space. And at one end is the communication centre....

They've obviously taken the "don't overload the senses" thing to heart because it's all blue! Not much of a classroom because they like their young chaps (all boys, again) to be in the mainstream classrooms as much as possible, hopefully 90% of the time.

The teacher of the unit is like Miss Honey from Matilda. :-) Off I went to the canteen bit ("he can eat earlier/later than the rest or by himself if he likes"), the assembly hall (optional!) and saw the sensory room and the rabbit.

Only downer is numpty SENCo from his original primary school (the one who said he wasn't autistic, he was upset because I had got divorced - 8 years earlier!) bloomin well works there. :-( Luckily she only works in the attached nursery in a speech and language part time type way. The school are worried his selective mutism will kick off again if he gets any reminders about his original school so she is not going to work with him AT ALL. They had sorted that out before I even knew she worked there - hoorah!

6) Popped to tell mum and dad afterwards and ended up leaving with a carrier bag of salad and a summer pudding!

7) Had a few games of table tennis with sons and my brother.

8) All stood on the trampoline so we could look over the hedge and watch dad pour a swarm of bees from a cardboard box into an empty hive (they are very docile bees).
