Morning All

TD and WM both emptied and reloaded. Kids have friends coming for tea tonight so that will keep them occupied. I need to take Jerry out when both the kids are up and ready as DH has already gone to work and is not home tonight.

Have a good day all

Hugs

Morning campers. I’m up bright and early though gods only knows why as I am shattered..lol. Still at least I can see the dawn rising for a change instead of it having been and gone by the time I get up. I’m all showered, dressed and washed my hair, have also taken my meds and I am now tackling the ironing for a wee while.

Have changed my avatar to two purple roses with an angle looking over them, so people don't get confused with the stars, and you can find me now..lol

It’s too early for the birds in the garden, although I have heard Mr or Mrs Blackbird singing away while I was in the bath – it was actually really nice to be serenaded while bathing … There seems to be a major terrotorial battle going in the garden at the moment between some of the birds – Mr Robin is bombarding every bird he sees, although I think that is because he is protecting Mrs Robin as she is in and out of the garden now. We have a bit of a menage a tois going on with the doves, I have my two that are normally here but I notice a new dove has joined them.. Hmm bit early for them to have nested let alone fledge, wonder what is going on there..? I am sure time will tell..lol Woody woodpigeon is still on his own sadly, although he doesn’t seem that bothered,he is quite happy wandering around on his own..

Mr N booked our holiday yesterday, we are staying in a gorgeous place called The Piggery in Oswestry. I can’t wait, but unfortunately I will have to as it isn’t until September..lol If anyone is interested in being nosy here’s the link: http://www.cottagesdirect.co.uk/700879-1/the-piggery-shropshire.aspx?startDate=17/09/2011&duration=7&rand=808268#contact_tab

It was so nice to see Purple Monday done by everyone, Diva would have been so proud of us all. She’s probably looking down on us now checking to see if we keep it all nice and tidy.. I have lit my Brazillian PassionFruit Yankee candle – it’s purple and Diva loved her Yankee candles

I am hoping that when the carpets and suite are all cleaned tomorrow that it gets rid of the musky dog smell in the mornings. I know they can’t help it but pongy!! I didn’t realise two dogs could generate doggy smells like these two during the night – smelly feet

and sweaty dog..lol


Have to stay in today awaiting a parcel delivery - I have ordered a Yankee Candle teddy bear, he smells of Soft Blanket and apparently is absolutely gorgeous, so I couldn't resist. Plus I have a car freshener coming in Fluffy Towels fragrance. Hmm so much for my ban on buying Yankee..lol


Welcome to all the newbies, lovely to see you join us. Your houses won’t know what’s hit them after a couple of weeks on here…:D


Cyclingyorkie did you find the missing bra? Hope the cats next door didn’t run off with it, I can imagine their owners faces when they pull it in behind them..lol
LW – oooh Belgium you lucky thing hon. And I am sure if you try not to worry about it you will be well enough. Mr LW wouldn’t have booked it if he didn’t think you were up to it.

LL what a lovely post further back, I read it and started welling up. Diva was a special friend to you and you will miss her dearly, please take it slowly and let yourself grieve. Please don’t bottle it up, it won’t do you any good honey. *wise words, so why can’t I take my own advice..lol* You aren’t going anywhere in the near future, and Diva would not want you to give up fighting..so my darling friend live life for all it’s worth and do it for Diva…

Embb that’s fantastic news about jenni’s blood tests being fine and possibly coming home today, I bet you are all absolutely thrilled and can’t wait for her to be bouncing around everywhere again.
Jo thank you for the candle page, I lit a candle for Diva last night and had a quite time of reflection.
Piggers hope all goes well at hospital tomorrow..

Love and hugs to everyone, especially Toots and LL
