An indoor BBQ sounds lovely, we do that quite often actually. At least theres no mess indoors to tidy up ! I'm glad that STBEOH appears ot be looking after you . As lovely and sunny as it was, it was rather chilly, but I keep forgtting and being lulle dinto a false sense of all things summery and venturing outside in flip flops and sunglasses ( not ont heir own I might add !!)

Sorry to hear you are so tired. Maybe you could think of a mega important email to send your colleagues with the early morning time highlighted in bold type to jog their memories a little bit as to what time you atart ? Are you back to full time next week or will you be staying working these hours for a little while yet to get you back into things ?

Hope you manage a lovely refreshing sleep this evening xx

Hi Mrs P

Funnily enough read your message on the way in this morning, I cant reply though as my phone screen is so small I wouldn't know what I would be saying :rotfl:

I did send an email and funnily enough had a small meeting this morning where I did a little reminding that I am only on mornings at the moment.

Tomorrow is the last one for this week (thank heavens ) as I have been really tired. Had a short nap this afternoon but only after I had done some washing and got It out on the line.

Next week will be all mornings again and it is also Easter weekend coming up so that will help.

Right time to start thinking about organising dinner and updating spreadsheets (after a little mooch around diaries;)).

I really should look at putting some info on my signature (maybe have a look at that at the weekend)


Take care catch up later

Morning NRA,

Hows you today ? Sorry I didnt get a chance to write last night. Well done for putting some info into your signature. I remember when I done mine I was determined to list each thing, but the list was so long there was no room in t e signature box for it all, so I had to rethink it !!:D

I'm glad you had an opportunity to remind them at work of the time you start inthe morning. Enjoy your day off tomorrow. Do you have any nice plans for the weekend ? x

Hi Mrs P thanks for the message.

I saw you on your diary that you had a problem posting a reply to me last night I wonder if that was when I was tying to edit my siggy :mad: It took a while, it kept telling me i only had 6 lines and had used too much up.

Have posted a reply to your exceptionally busy day in your diary try to chill tonight maybe with the British wine you got in Aldi?

Take care

Well not as busy a day as my friend Mrs P but I did manage to do a few bits today....

Got in to the office for 7.45 and worked till midday (not in tomorrow and next week is short and I'm still on mornings only) so was a bit manic.

Got the train home and took a trip to Al**, was quite pleased as I managed to get SS milk with the opening top (STBEOH prefers as the others have to be cut open on the corner and see to spill everywhere) and they were nearly 20p cheaper than the same ones at Mr A
Didnt see any of Mrs P's posh shower gell but did get some at quite a good price.
Also as I want to do some baking this weekend, they had baking marg 10p cheaper than I normally pay ( whats a girl to do I bought extra

The went to Mr A to stock up on some bits including laundry cleaner etc.

Came home sorted the daily spreadsheets and as I have now joined April grocery challenge set up a new SS for that. Have set a budget of £200 and have spent nearly £80.00 since 21st :eek: but cupboards,fridge and freezers are fullish. Should only need cold meats at the weekend for next weeks sandwiches.

Have a home visit from the hospital tomorrow so will need to get a bit of HW done soon. He is due anytime between 9 and 1 and I bet if I overslept he would be here early:rotfl:

Right will catch up later with everyone, quick mooch around the diaries before I crash on

Ok so was up nice and early WM on, DW on.

Opened the curtains at the front this morning to find two of my "barrels" (one with flowers not alcohol) have been tipped right over:mad: and I know it wasn't a cat or a squirrel. It makes me really cross as it must have been done after 8.30 when I closed the curtains.... so when I catch them..... lets just say they had better beware. Ok rant over.

My friend MRS P reminded me yesterday what a good idea lists are so here is mine for today:

Wash Towels/ bathroom mats-

Wash cushion covers -

Washing up from last night(oops this is were I get told off by all the flyladys but dinner was late and i was tired:o)

Bake a lemon drizzle cake (wonders if LT will approve, may offer her some when she completes her move if there is any left:rotfl:)

Check Internet banking, update Spreadsheets-

Put in order for medical equipment (cant do this until hospital visitor comes today)

Catch up on all the diaries (VERY VERY IMPORTANT)

Cook dinner (its an easy one tonight HM fish and chips, ok not easy , lazy I know but it is friday:p)

Call friend for weekly catchup

Right I think that is enough to bore you all with for now and I need to get ready for my visitor.


Oh and last but not least Im getting my hair done today :j:j (forgot all about that when I first typed this.

Back later

My hospital visitor was very good today, he has explained about the equipment I need to buy, agreed I need more tests, oh and has suggested I need to see a nutritional expert:rotfl: (in other words ..lose weight:p)

Been catching up on tv tonight and very soon going to bed as really tired.

Tomorrow is another day

Hi NRA, sorry I haven't dropped by in a while. Very remiss of me. Pleased to see Mrs PG has been keeping you company.

Good to see that you're back at work part-time but not so good that you're becoming tired so easily. Make sure you look after yourself.

Lemon drizzle cake... one of my favourites. Can't wait until we have lemons on our tree again. I have to do some baking tomorrow, it's DS2's birthday on Monday. He's ordered a pavlova, so I guess I'll be making meringues!

so its 1st April, April fools day.

Have to say not my favourite day of the year as exactly 36 years today I lost my darling mum.:(

Funny how as you get older we think more about the ones we have lost.

I know she would have adored DGS (born last year) and often wonder what she would have made of where I have gone with my life.

To the best of my memory she and dad were never in debt, she was a great knitter and I have great memories of some of my outfits including a lilac and white poncho with tassels (very 70's).:)

Dad was still a young man and did marry again and I am close to my step mum (although we weren't in the beginning) but even now I know that my 2 mums are like chalk and cheese.

Well yesterday I did not get all the tasks done I wanted to (naughty NRA) and to be honest I don't feel like doing much today although I have been awake for hours.

Hope you all forgive my early morning ramblings but I have begun to find my diary quite cathartic ( Is that the right word)

Catch up later
