    oh, please excuse my bad manners - hi everyone, hope you are all having a good bank holiday :). Was so anxious to respond to Katsu, I forgot to be polite and sociable! lolol

    Nice day here, sun is still shining.....bird table is looking a bit bare, so must top everything up and feed the birds (costs considerably more than tuppence a bag these days lol).

    My motivation has gone walkabout and I need to get it back and nail it down lol, Have a pile of mags and books and a couple of lots of knitting on the go and am not even picking anything up.....very bad sign! When I'm not reading it doesn't get much worse than that. Sketch pad and pencils also gathering dust....I need to give myself a damn good kick up the rear. I'm wasting far too much time on FB and that infernal farm lately...probably because it's an easy option and doesn't require a lot of thought or effort - ouch how bad is that!!!! (being honest though....)

    Afternoon all, have just read back today's chat. Lots of stress and worry around, hope everyone can see a little light in their tunnel. We all just have to keep plodding, it is hard, long and tiresome at times but also there are good times to be enjoyed.

    I think my little one has hand, foot and mouth, some virus small kids pick up, he is as miserable as sin.

    aww wow, well done Bun's ds!

    Bookworm, my mum started the menopause early, but the doctors wouldn't listen to her, by the time they tested her hormones she was completely through it. My grandma went through it early too, I'm already counting down the years to no more periods!

    back from writing group which was great. I nipped into Sainsburys and got some fruit and the three for one pringles...
