I got the quilt covers from Amazon, really plzed as she has a double quit on a single bed.

Looks like the court case went ok, haven't heard from the solicitor, so looks like the magistrates accepted the proposal.

Basically Miss hoodie has to have letters for a yr at 2 monthly intervals, but if she wants to write back she can - then in 12 months time if she decides she doesn't want any contact we can say no go away! x

mrs-moneypenny

glad you are getting somewhere near settled with the courts and miss hoodie

Hello all :j

susan - super card..........clever you:T

mum2one - looks like court is getting sorted at last. Bet you're relieved.

After yesterdays wind,rain and cold today has been a real turn around.......blue skies, sunshine and warmth.............bliss. Took myself into town, quick look in the charity shops, got couple of frames just right for couple of ''stitched mottos'' I've done for pressies then I got home and ventured into the garden. Think I overdid it but oh how satisfying to be get some of the overgrown plants thinned out at last. The more rain we got the more they multiplied ! OH planted some sweet peas and clematis and after the success of my marigold and poppy seeds, the sunflower seeds I planted are showing through-yippee !! :T
OH (prophet of doom) says I can rest easy as from tomorrow it'll be rain and more rain:( So out will come the paints again.

Hope you're all ok:)

well mary the rains back for a change

went to tesco today got some bits for stocking fillers and shorts for DS, reduced to £5. They have some tshirts all sizes for £2, be great for xmas gifts as men/boys end to wear them all year around.

I was going out of our village a different way this morning and stumbled on a craft shop:j, I`ve never seen it before and thought I`ll have to go in and have a look. It was ace , a real alladins cave of treasures. I was so excited, I purchased 5 lengths of ribbon and told the very lovely lady I will return when I have more time. THe ideas, the merchandise. Think I`ll take a chair and set up shop in there. I was only saving to a friend the local one was so far away the other day. The craft shop been there 50 years....:eek:, my friend been in the village 50 years!!!!

Hello all :j

susan - lovely sweet tree but can't imagine what one would turn out like if I had a go............lol

Not done much these last two days........wet day Tuesday, Wednesday was full of good intentions. Put plants in and go into town again and hopefully get the cross over navy bag from sue ryders I should have got on Monday.
Not so..........knelt down to put some plants in and couldn't get up !:eek: Major panic...........good job OH was about otherwise I'd have been there all day ! Really couldn't move........my poor legs. So that put paid to any more walking for the day...out came the paints instead. Still aching today but not so bad.......played safe and stayed at home though. What a silly numpty I am. Should never have knelt down in the first place.
Talk about ''told you so'' from OH.............lol

Tomorrow rain due we're told but weekend is supposed to be fine...........maybe by then my legs will be able to take me into town.

Hope you're all ok:)
