Morning All,
Had a better night last night. No cat being sick, no GDD waking at 5am:eek:
Fell asleep at 8.30 in the end!
Hospital today. I am having more cramps and spasms in my legs, and had two falls yesterday.:( Seeing my nurse, so maybe something can be done.
Took the order of service for DD's wedding into the printers yesterday. 7 weeks to go now. It's gone so fast, she admitted to feeling nervous yesterday!
Everything else seems to have been done now. I'll be glad when it all comes together!:T
Can't wait to see DS. He and his fiancee are coming on August 12th.
Rined about five minutes ago, sunshine now. washing to be done. Out for the afternoon with a friend.
Have a great day all!
I Believe in saving money!!!:T

Morning everyone,
Just popping in quickly while I'm having my coffe and toast. Quiet day planned for today, I need to hoover and mop floors etc. so will get that done this morning. Hopefully, this afternoon I will be able to sit down and carry on listening to my Miss Read audiobook while crocheting squares for my blanket. At the moment I have enough squares for a cushion! It was lovely yesterday to sit down doing my crocheting listening to the rain pattering down.
I made the salsa yesterday and it turned out really nice, so I will definitely be doing this again if I get a lot of tomatoes. Due to ill health at the beginning of the year I did not get any vegetables planted out this year, but I have plans for next year with growing veggies in containers. Not sure if I can manage with a vegetable plot yet, although I'd love one but we will see.
I hope that you all have a good day.

Morning folks.
Rain on here. Not a good forecast for us for the rest of the week.
Salad at lunchtime with pitta bread, chicken salad for tea with new pots.
Dentist for check up for me this am then younger dog to vet for her booster in the afternoon. Housework as well is on the agenda today - need to hoover and dust if nothing else! Plan to change bed but might leave that until tomorrow as I have a few things to do today apart from house stuff.
(((hugs))) to those having a hard time just now. Thinking of you and your families.
Off out with dogs. Older one won't be so keen in the rain.

Morning All!
Hissing down here, apparently we are in for 12 days of itwhich is a shame, as my DSIL and the children arrived last night for a two week holiday. ITs been ayear since they were here, and I can't believe the difference in the children, obviously I have seen them on Skype and photos, but its always a shock to see them in the flesh. I got huge hugs, and the wee one was rabbiting away in French with his big sister translating for my DS2, who was quite amused by it all. His knowledge of English is excellent, he'll be speaking it in a few days I am sure.
Happy Birthday to Holly, I hope she has a lovely day JackieO. :bdaycake:
Glad to hear your dad is home again Redruby, and your mum is cooling down.x
Lou got out of hospital yesterday morning. Well, she discharged herself :eek: She's a bit down, as can be expected, but hopefully she'll find a way through it soon, your good wishes have been passed on, she's having laptop problems, otherwise I am sure she would be here to say thanks herself.
Thanks from me too, for the continued good wishes. BIL is out of hospital again with his pain under control now thank goodness, he is waiting for his oncology appointment now, it should be this week.
Right, plan for the day is drying some washing, cleaning up, dealing more with the floordrobe and DS2's bedroom, I would like to try and have it decorated before I go back to work next week (who am I kidding :eek:). I also need to do a charity shop run.
Hugs spoons and hi fives all round.

PS My binmen never turned up yesterday, I have put the bin back out, but I will need to phone the council and find out what is happening.

Morning All,
Also been MIA for a few days, just so busy with everyones coming and goings, my own fault for having four kids, I thought life would be quieter but no they just come back with various bf and gf in tow:D I don't mind really, in fact I love it but do you enjoy these little quiet moments.
Wk end was supposed to be a quiet one but Sunday developed into a large barbecue that started around 2.30 and continued until 10.30 at night:cool: Anyway my eldest boy and his fiance go off travelling in a fortnight so things should start to settle down.
We really need to concentrate on building up the bank account instead of spending.
Bitsy we laid in bed snuggling last night listening to the rain, bliss
This morning will be a quick swish and swipe and then I need to nip into town and pay some cheques into the bank. Tonight is a meal out with our extended in laws.
All the boys are going fishing this wkend so mum is coming for a couple of nights and we can spend some quality time together
Have a good day whatever you'r e doing J xStarted Self Managed DMP 10th May 2017.

Another NSD day and I plan to give the kitchen a thorough spruce up.

Now look here Candy, stop trying to confuse us by posting in the morning!
I have a red hall carpet and a purple one in my bedroom, the bit at the door where the two meet and contrast is my favourite view in the house. :rotfl: I've just realised how odd I soundIt's what is inside your head that matters in life - not what's outside your windowEvery worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory. - Ghandi0 -
