Tealady - I am so sorry to hear about your friends Husband. My thoughts are with you and her xx

Mine for today:

1. H has got the next few days off so some nice family time planned.
2. Eased myself into the morning today and despite getting up at 6am I didn't get washed and dressed til after 9am Rare treat for me on a week day!
3. Had a lovely day at Kenilworth Castle. It wasn't sunny but VERY muggy and warm. Have a great time watching the kids clamber over the castle and keep shouting hello in the towers to hear their voices echo LOL.
4. Watching Who Do You Think You Are
5. OK not very OS or MSE but cheated with tea tonight and had some chips from the chippie

Oh I forgot to post my 5 earlier. I feel I have had quite a good day (for a Monday!) - productive in work and not home too late

1. Enjoyed my packed lunch from home
2. Had a lovely (though rather tough!) cycle home
3. Hubby complimented me on the chicken noodle soup I made him
4. Got a lovely email (not very OS I know!) from a good friend
5. Made a nice home cooked tea

I hope everyone has had a good Monday.

Tealady - I am really sorry to hear of your tradegy. 39 is so young to lose someone. My thoughts are with you and your friend at this truly awful time.

Sorry to hear your very sad news, Tealady.

Here's my 5 for today.

1) Keeping the house tidy(ish).

2) Going to the nearest town and getting bigger son's hair cut by the barber now he is nit free!

3) Going to the sweet shop and getting lots of library books whilst in town.

4) Cooking a roast chicken for tea.

5) Neighbour popping in and letting sons have a go kart his sons have outgrown - they love it!

6) Finally having enough money in my account to get the cats insured. Just a pity bigger cat wasn't insured BEFORE getting her tail "removed" by a car... I've now got the bigger cat insured by Sainsburys. £70 but also £70 cashback through Quidco so ultimately it will be free! Also means you get double Nectar points for a year and S's is where I shop. Did the smaller cat through Argos as they were cheaper. I did consider just insuring one cat then whichever one was injured I could say "Yes, this is Joey!" but as one has a tail and one does not, they are no longer interchangeable!

tealady you and your friend are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you all for the extra birthday wishes. I rather like long birthdays, just not the years that go with them

My 6 -
1. Pulm rehab went better today than it has for weeks, I was told to slow down!
2. Visited DD and family, which includes the dogs and parrot of course
3. DGD2 helped me shovel more sand, came home with another boot full. It certainly makes a difference to handling, no swinging round bends with all that weight in the back
4. Delicious steak and salad for dinner, the last of the leftovers from yeterdays lunch
5. Met with some friends this evening, took some cake and a box of chocolates which I was given yesterday and am unlikely to eat - not a sweet toothed person really. They were all gratefully received and didn't last long
6 Tomorrow I have a completely free day, not a plan, appointment or commitment in sight! (Yet :rotfl:)

Night night, sleepy tight

Tealady - My thoughts are with you and your friend.

My 5 for yesterday:
- A NSD. Went to postbox, but came straight back home and not via the shops.
- Another 1bs weightloss.
- Lovely Roast chicken for tea (1/2 price from M&S) with lots of leftovers for another day.
- DH came home earlier than expected from London (5 hours earlier in fact!)
- Keeping on top of housework. In the last few weeks I had let things slide a bit, but I am keeping things tidier and cleaner again.

Sparrer - what a good in-depth birthday and bless that beautiful lad for an excellent guess at your earthly years! All such numbering is a construct anyway....

There seems, as too many have noted, to be a lot of sorrow, endurance and reflection amongst us all at present and we in turn have so many others in mind as we lurk and post.

As I caught up, read the word 'rhubarb' and remembered I'd left water running in one of my 3 rhubarb tubs - thankyou Patchwork Quilt.

I will also join the smoked salmon+h/m multigrain bread/toast[and champagne] fave brekkie Club.

Tealady - via you, your friend has tapped into a lasting vein of humanity and empathy. Your own lovely weekend can be a positive for you both. I am reminded to think of and thank Martin yet again for beginning this site.


1. Saw IT.
2. Saw mot.
3. Saw twins - individually exceptional school reports with a prize to each! IT proudly told me of these during chat.
4. Played sillies with Dibley, who became a real little turncoat putting on 'starving !!!!!cat' sob story miaows when he suddenly heard Fliss come downstairs.
5. Shared a lovely meal and stayed.

Kindest thoughts from mot since...everyone deserves the light of her extraordinary strength and loveliness, but she never sees it.

Nothing else counts atm.

I'll add a smile - I see that ' p-u-s-s-y-c-a-t' didn't make it fully through in no. 4:rotfl:. Couldn't work out what I'd done wrong at first.

And for today:-

1. Two loads of bedding and clothing drying outside.
2. A yummy toasted ham and cheese sarnie, toasted in one of those re-usable bags in the toaster.
3. A phone call from DD to say goodbye on her way to the airport. She's off for a few days to Norway.
4. Inspecting the plants and so glad to see the tomatoes forming, as well as the chillies and peppers, carrots and squashes.
5. A tall glass of homemade elderflower cordial with soda water and ice.
:beer:

Oh, and OH cleaned the fridge out and we are busy get rid of all the old bottles of this and that, that were lurking on the top shelf
:eek:

Evening all,

Thought I quickly do my pleasures for today while on hold with BT...

1) Having an amusing emai exchange with one of my colleagues. I did him a favour this afternoon and he had written a note to say thanks and offered to attend a meeting for me the morning after a big work dinner. I wrote back saying that I might have to extract my payment back in another way and then realised that sounded dodgy so clarified that I meant it in a non seedy way... well it just progressed from there...

2) My friend at work brought me back from yummy goodies from home. She knows I love proper nougat and it was such a treat.

3) we then walked into town at lunch and made each other very homesick! But in a nice way really...

4) NSD!! I'm on a roll!

5) Naughty supper of smoked mussels with crem cheese on ritz crackers... yum!

6) My stuff on ebay seems to be selling... and I found the key to unlock my bike which I had listed.

Oooh... BT have finally answered...

night all
