    Morning all!
    Finally a day off, and the yellow ball is in the sky, although I see a few clouds on the horizon. Second load of 3 or 4 is on its final spin in the machine, should dry no bother today. Will do some tidying, and hopefully spend some time in the garden today!
    Have a good day, hugs to all who need one!
    RIP Iain

    Morning All,

    Sounds like you are all having busy days with children and grandchildren. Enjoy whatever your up to.

    Our car saga continues. DH is broken down on the motorway and waiting for recovery. Honestly we are having an absolute nightmare at the moment with cars. I just wish they weren't a necessary evil for work:mad: so that's another £80 for recovery plus the repairs. I just feel like going back to bed.

    Tea tonight will be LF lasagne and this wk will have to be a no spend wk whatever else happens.

    Sorry to be a misery. Have a good day all x

    DD and I went cycling yesterday, we managed about 8 miles, need to get a new saddle though, lets just say its all a bit tender round that area :rotfl:

    Need to do an online shop today, did not get time yesterday, will get dd to hoover through too.

    Dinner tonight is lamb tagine with cous cous. DD and I are going to pack a a picnic again and head off for a long walk, we are trying to up our fitness levels :D

    Hugs to all in need, sistercas hope your back gets better soon xx

    :hello: Good morning!

    I'm waiting for the lady who's going to teach me how to use the voice-activated software on the laptop DSA have kindly given me (our own computer wasn't suitable for it). Can't really settle to anything until she's been and gone. I'm meant to have a three-hour training session today, then another two similar sessions, but I think 3 hours may be a bit long for me to manage, so will see how I get on.

    Sunny out there today, but wind is chilly, so I've put a jumper on for now.

    (((HUGS))) to everyone who's ill, fed up, having trouble with cars (seems to be a lot of it about, my son's helping a friend fix his today!) or wondering how on earth they are going to keep the kids entertained AGAIN :eek:

    TTFN xx

    Morning All :hello:,

    Rubbish night's sleep - am clearly paying for the nesting instinct from yesterday. Hips felt like they were on fire all night and nothing I could do about it, on top of that I managed to tweak my neck (I have a funny condition in my neck) and am now moving my head in a way not dissimilar to that of a ventriloquist's (sp?) dummy :mad: Would laugh if it didn't hurt quite so much!

    Need to put another wash on but I think that will be it for today OS wise. Seeing the obstetrician later for my 34 week check so will be nice to see bubba again :T

    Have lovely days, hugs to all xx

    Had a lay in this morning as I had a bad night.

    DH has emptied the Landy and also taken son=me stuff to the CS. We've been offered a load of stuff for the allotment so he has dropped the seats in his Dads car and put loads of old towells in the boot. He is just waiting for someone to come and look at the Landy, they have offered £700 without seeing it but may reduce that offer when he sees it. Not sure how low we should go or just let it run to the end of the auction and hope for the best.

    Have emptied and filled the DW. Sorted and folded stuff off the airers and put a load out. Another load in the WM.

    Will put the chicken in the SC in a minute. Want to do something different with it rather than the lemons, how do you think shallots in the cavity sound??
