Thankyou for posting.

Mhags - thanks for the update. Take care of you x
Susan1962 - welcome to this lovely thread

Pleasures for yesterday

1. Went and bought my paint - the ladies in the shop were extremely helpful regarding what i have to do. it took me to a part of the city I don't go to much (ever, really) - the jewellery quarter - such lovely old buildings, not what you expect from Birmingham at all
2. Had a laugh with colleagues, one of them is having an 80's themed fancy dress party. We collectively decided that i must wear this

(it is very me :rotfl:)
3. DS first exam went well, i'm told. (Apparently it was "a piece of p***), but then he said he'd finished in half the time :eek: So either it really was, or he hasn't done it right. still we are off and running at last - a pleasure in itself, cos the waiting has been agonising.
4. Bacon egg and sourdough toast for tea - rubs tum
5. Annie Sloaned my chair. It aint half bad :T and undercoated the woodwork. Glossing tonight, wardrobe tomorrow. Move in tomorrow night, start the next room on Friday

Have a great day all

Mhags - great news on the early stages of recovery - praying for an uncomplicated one! You do need to take care of yourself through this as Ampersand says! (not easy I know)


So pleasures today:


1. Battle score with work adversary: won one (with ease), the other (and more important one) is on pause pending further discussion - but its certainly not lost!!!
2. Wedding in work - was very moving - we do do a good wedding even if I do say so myself!!!
3. Sunny day (perfect day for a wedding!)
4. clematis is blooming lovely (a bit wild as didn't prune it properly! but I like it like that)
5. Colleague's son who broke his neck is making a good recovery - out of ITU and no apparent loss of function of arms/legs

Frith

Glad to hear things went smoothly, MHags. You're probably getting up on Thursday now (I shall never get used to that!) so hope today goes well for you.


Grumpy and tired today. I feel I was a bit of an observer at work today. The main thing upsetting me this week is that my work reference still hasn't sent a reference in to my new job. She has had 2 months to do this now and apologised to me last Friday and said she would do it immediately - and still hasn't! I have been put under some pressure at work to get another referee but thought there wasn't anyone else....


Anyway, pleasures for today:


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) Smaller son had a terrible day at school including tears and a bit of running away. :-( Haven't been able to find out why exactly just yet. Pleasure is his specialist teacher texting to tell me and saying it will all be fine.


3) Took tomato plants in to work yesterday (quite a few) and they have all been taken now.


4) Had a brainwave. Second mother (mentioned before in this thread) was a teaching assistant in the school I volunteered in. So I drove round there tonight and had a cup of tea while sons played in the orchard (where I used to play when I was little). She not only agreed to be a referee for me but my phone has just pinged and she has written it and emailed it to me and to work! Hoorah!!


5) Took another friend his car insurance documents back (got him a better quote).


6) Had tea in Sainsburys.


7) About to watch the Island with sons.


That's it!


ETA and if anyone watches Gogglebox as fanatically as we do, you might be interested to know I had a tweet from Sid Siddiqui today!!


More ETA!! Bigger son, in the car. "People at school say I've got very small ears". Smaller son, very seriously after several seconds thought. "You've got perfectly ordinary ears. You've just got a massive head". :-)

Only the red rubber bands are winding &utah up these days.

Also wanted to wish Jenny well with her check-up today.
Finally, for now, bop - &'s Thread 'Can't retrieve old mse colouring and format.', has some ideas to try.
Dear bod, known from other Threads, has helped & and dfv, among others.

1. Enjoying James Naughtie's book, still.
2. Hares only visible when bounding now. Rye pasture has leapt skyward in last fortnight.
3. Robin babies and Mum so very ho-hum about &'s in and outs. Yesterday, from outside, watched parents on feed runs, wrigglies in beaks. Intensive parenting. Filmed this morning on no.2 camera, beakies opening when lens does same.
4. Sod it moments 1. and 2. - one cornetto from freezer was not enough. & eats maybe 2 ice-creams annually. Have consumed a decade over last month.
5. The Cutting of the Grass shortly - must be done[neighbour's front, too - his bunnies do back], but fantastic daisies, buttercups, valerian, verveine, speedwell, forget-me-nots, shepherd's purse.....lovely swathes, but 'will do well on compost', is how & must rationalise.[too much rationalising still having to go on]

Now, mhags...((()))
