    Morning All!

    I thought I had slept until evening when I saw CG posting on FB at eight thirty, then I came here and saw her here too, naughty Candy, trying to confuse us!

    Thanks as always for the care and hugs, and rightbackatcha with them ;) Pat has put on approx six pounds since last Saturday, which is fantastic, he has been eating a lot better since they started getting his weight under control. The downside to all this though is that my 17 year old niece isn't coping very well, and got very drunk and outrageous last night; I haven't had much sleep and am about to go and wake her up, hopefully she has the world's worst hangover and then she will be getting a piece of my mind. I shan't miss her and hit the wall, that's for sure!

    OS today will be making OH do some DIY he has been putting off, doing some washing, cleaning the floors and sunbathing. :) Its glorious here.

    Well, must get moving I suppose, Have a good day all, stay safe, and hugs all round.

    Jackie XXX

    PS Lou is in hospital, she is OK don't worry - she developed a fever yesterday and they think she has an infection, so kept her for observation, I have been in touch with her this morning; I am not sure how she feels physically as she was too busy telling me she was grouchy, lol! x

    Good morning everyone. Lovely sunny warm day here so hopefully a trip to the beach for a walk and a bit of a paddle planned and a sneaky iced coffee as have a £5 starbucks card. Have ironing to get out the way and veggies to plant out. We have some tomatoes on our plants:T so am excited lol. Dinner will be Pesto Spaghetti with a few veggies of whatevers in the fridge. Must get my meal plan done for the week too, although i don't always follow to a t it does help me know what's in the fridge and what I have the options of eating and we move it round alot depending on what everyones doing. It's bound to be more complicated to plan meal now it's the summer hols here and T In The Park this next weekend= lots of random teens staying at our house no doubt, or even no teens at all...I hate the never knowing:think:.

    Well enjoy the weather :D

    Morning all

    Glorious here again. Slept like a log tonight. Had quite an unproductive day yesterday. Today I need to get my act together although the temptation to sit in the sun is huge. Just get the feeling I should enjoy it when it's here.

    All the veg in the garden is doing well, need to sow some more lettuce and spinach beet. Also need to give my tomatoes some TLC. Also have ironing to do.

    Tea will be whatever I can find. Really must do a menu plan. Have got work for the next 2 nights so I really must get some rest at some point.

    Have a good day all, hope LOU feels better soon and hugs to anyone else who needs one.
