    I have 4 nice young men here, taking out a holly tree that's encroaching on our drains. I need to keep nipping out to check that they're OK :D

    Anyone for a HHC 11:20 - 11:50 :j

    Thanks GB - I've asked DD to remind me, you see I have shoes/sandals on the brain you know the sort you HAVE to buy but then will probably only wear once :o

    Hi Everyone

    Back from the caravan on Monday, had a nice chilling break, good to get away from all the hustle and bustle of life!! I Hope you are all well, I feel awful at not being on in the past few weeks as you have all been great much but am concentrating on me and getting myself better and fighting BD off. My house is now starting to suffer a bit, DH has been great but he doesn’t clean or tidy the way I do it, so I really really need to kick the BD away and get my finger pulled out from my bahookie. I have docs on Fri to review meds.

    The last few days has been spent catching up with all the washing that has accumulated from the caravan over the long weekend and there is a big pile mountain on dining table to be folded and put away which I will do when I am sitting down watching TV tonight after I have tackled these lists.

    Hope everyone is well, special love and hugs as always to Lady-L, Toots & Diva.

    ETA: How rude, thanks to the usual suspects who run the thread (Lost count now lol)

    Morning lovelies – sorry I haven’t been on for ages so love and hugs all round to those that need them, I saw in particular whilst skimming through that LL and Diva need mega vibes – so loads on my way to you both. Hope you are behaving Toots – after scaring everybody last week!

    Lovely and sunny here – just a shame to be working! I’ve cleaned the kitchen, washed the floor as well, emptied all the bins and put the wheelie bins outside. Half heartedly did some paperwork and straightened the cushions etc in living room. I’ve also aired the house apart from DD1’s bedroom as she was in there asleep. I will do some washing tonight to pop outside tomorrow as the weather lady said it’s going to be nice for the rest of the week. I’ve finished washing the baby’s things and ironed them this weekend. Also picked up the moses basket and washed all that and ironed the frilly bits took blooming ages.

    Much love and hugs – not doing very well myself; so any back will be much appreciated xx

    Hi GnB - thanks for the hug. How's LO doing and what happened about the boy who was pushing here etc? Just s£tty here at the moment. Danny's skin graft hasn't taken, they are waiting for the nastiness to go before they decide what else to do. The good news is that he came home last friday evening after the army duty driver drove from Catterick to Selly Oak then back up to our village. This happened again yesterday after the plastic surgeon and the ortho doc wanted to see him. The bone seems to be doing well, so that's good news.

    On a cheerier note (I need to stop being on the slippery slope that leads to bad things) is that DD1 went to the midwife yesterday; she has 3 weeks to go, but she thinks she won't see her at the next appointment in 2 weeks as she thinks she is just about there, having contractions, but not in any sort of rhythm. DH is also doing ok after his op last thursday so I need to kick this blasted BD out of the door and down the road
