Good Morning all and a freezing foggy morning it is in north Kent .Very bleugh outside by the looks of things
Happy Birthday Hester I hope you get lots of pressies and spoit rotten,as should anyone with a birthday as its a special day to you, so spoliling is the order of the day.
We booked our next years holiday yesterday we have decided to go for a change and go back to Norfolk We found a nice cottage in a place called Sea Palling on the coast and it looks like just the thing for me and my tribe.If anyone on here lives near there perhaps you could pm me with what its like The pictures of the place look spectacular with nice beaches for the boys to play on and Granny to sit and read and knit on:)
Today after the school run I have my Knit and Natter at the library for an hour and a half then at 1.00.p.m. I have yet another test at the hospital This time a breathing one spirometry (sp)I think its called.Its all go at the moment .
The local library are very smart and to ensure that they hopefully won't get shut down have started lots of community clubs and projects utilising the facilities to its full extent.So alternate Monday mornings are either Knit and Natter or a Book Club. I have gone along and joined these as I would hate to think of our library shutting as its such a great place to go for all sorts of things and the staff are very helpful. Definately a case of 'use it or lose it'
I hope everyone has a good Monday even if the weather is a bit grim
Cheers chums

Morning everyone,
Hope you had a lovely day yesterday Hester.
Feel like I need another weekend after the one i have just had, didn't seem to get a minutes rest all weekend and this week looks just as busy.
WM has just finished and packed lunches are made. OH had just left for work with his.
Can I ask for a few positive vibes from you ladies for something that may seem trivial to some of you but means the world to DD2.
They have decided to change around the A and B squads for her netball team and she has always been in the A team but she was substituted
on sunday and thinks that she may have lost her place. they are setting the teams tonight and then they can't change them until April. She is quite worried and I am worried for her.
Hugs to all that need them.
Have a lovely day everyone.:)0 -
Morning!
I had a really good weekend. I had my ears syringed Friday and it's definatly made a difference to the vertigo (even though there wasn't much there... the nurse nearly did do them... but I begged) it's amazing how Low BP effects everything else!
So DH and I managed to pack the hospital bags, and I have spent hours trying to get this cat new finished... it's nearly done. We will be ready by thursday
This week I am 33 weeks. Not gained or lost any weight this week so I am still the same as 23 weeks ago! I have this funny feeling i'll go into labour the same weight!
Lou thank you for your advice on Friday, I do have the phone number for the materity hospital, so if I get poorly I will give them a ring. Hope you are feeling better, and i'm glad you are eating a little. Keep up the good work x

We ended up going to my sisters yesterday for a Birthday tea in honour of my dear old mum, twas very nice, so yesterdays chicken legs etc will be todays dinner, will either do jacket spuds or bread and butter depending on what time we get back.
I hope the fog clears a it before we hit the road, it was so foggy last night, we had to creep along.

Morning all
Looks like we've escaped the fog for now and it's goung to be a lovely day again. No heating on this morning and trying not to put it on first thing. Plan this morning to set a timer and do some paperwork. Amazing what you can do in half-an-hour. Also have washing finishing off to go on the line. Then gym class this later. I've got work tonight so need to get organised. Beef stew and veg for tea, off to bung it in the SC in a bit.
Hester Happy Birthday, hope they look after you at work
:beer:.
Lou hope you got some sleep.
Have a good day all and big hugs to all who need one.

Morning everyone
Very damp grey and cloudy here this morning, yuck! DH just left for work so not stupid early start, but I got a nice cuppa in bed to start the day. Weekend was lovely but again always goes to quickly!
Need to really get stuck in to organising x**s and getting the holiday rally for next year promoted etc.
I'm going into work a little early today to be an opener but should mean I get away a little earlier tonight. Dinner tonight is fish, chips/jacket potato, beans/veg - quick and easy after working all day. Have returned home with a bag full of washing - first load in and done but everything taking so long to dry on the airer!
Have a great day everyone, hugs to those that need/want them, take care.

Morning All,
Happy Birthday Hester:beer:
Islanmaid so sorry to hear about Bruno
JG Glad the ear syringing worked
Moorhen Positive vibes for your DD2. It doesn't sound trivial at all, and if they are worried your worried, hope it works out how she wants.
Hugs for anyone else in need.
The kitchen is coming on a treat. DH has managed to fix and refurb the extractor fan over the cooker so that's something else we don't need to replace. Planned to buy a new clock but after looking around and not seeing anything better I came home and gave the old one a good clean and put it back up. It looks like new:money:It's becoming a great challenge to see how little we can spend and still make it look like a new kitchen:D
Feeling a bit anxious about the job interview. Money wise it would really help but health wise I am stressing just thinking about it. I love being at home full time and really don't want to go back to working outside the home. Haven't decided what to do yet.
Today will be a nsd, just pottering at home. Tea will be the woopsied steak we got at Mr T's yesterday, I will have fish.
Have a good Monday all J xStarted Self Managed DMP 10th May 2017.
