Goodi was going to shorten your name to G.I.T but thought better of it - hope it stays dry for you and the repair is not too costly

I'm still here, still alive... hugs to everyone who needs them - particularly (and no, I'm not singling anyone out, just I caught a tad of a thread) to Vanilla apropos her hubby xxxc
Working hard and long still. But, kids are fine, cats are fine, BB is fine, chickens are ultra-productive. I'm muddling through....
Home is sort of up-together. I had Family down last weekend which is always a good kick up the derriere in the housework stakes.
After almost three weeks of drought, we've finally had a lot of rain this weekend which can only be good.
I send my love to you all xxxI am the leading lady in the movie of my life

is brilliant - you need to give it a couple of minutes to load....
But, best go put the chickens to bed (they WILL roost on a window ledge rather than go into their safe coop!) and then hie myself away to bed

Hellooooooooooo!
Hope you're all grand! Happy birthday to Triker - hope you're having a lovely day sweetie!
I'm plodding along with the house but work has gone absolutely manic so not having much time to pop in. I was runnng round like a headless chicken yesterday - children, dogs, husband (the usual) and then I saw my new clematis had flowered. It's amazing how something so simple can make you slow down and smile. I've put it on my mobile phone as wallpaper to remind me to stop sweating the small stuff.
Massive hugs to you all ....think of you all often xx0 -
need to hoover and change our beds tomorrow,
have to say mine never get so bad I have to get the vac out :rotfl:

deal with it (ie file/shred/throw - whatever...)Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016
Thank you Honey Bear0 -
