    Morning All

    I had a better night's sleep due to stronger painkillers although I still woke up in loads of pain so this morning's painkillers are now working so I suppose I'd better get up and do something. My Grandad's funeral is on Monday in Bangor so I'm hoping my brother's going to drive otherwise I'll have to.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Had a brew late last night so woke up at the crack needing the loo, which is downstairs so it's such an effort lol Going to nip down town shortly for Boots 75% off sale to see what there is for stocking fillers this year, did it last year and it really padded out some gifts will have a maccy dees brekkie too :cool:

    I've picked a new WM but can't decide what colour to have, white or silver I'm not keen on the silver ones but I like the look of this one and it will match my american fridge freezer, but might regret it when I see it in the flesh, I'm not good with decisions so I'll be umming and arring for days and wasting precious delivery time and the washing will pile up in the meantime lol

    Not stripping bed today due to no WM, and the rest is all done and most is in packing boxes :rotfl: so just the dailies, work and food shopping for me today.

    Laters x

    Cyork~ can you not arrange for your mother to come to yours and put her up in a travelodge or similar near by when they have the deals on? for your 50th ? it is YOUR birthday so you arrange what you want, or just you go over to hers for 'afternoon tea' or what ever. Anyway if Piggers is coming to watch the party, then I want to come too!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Morning all

    JJ pain free vibes for you. How are the child dealing with Grandad's passing?

    Kaz - hot water vibes for you (is this at work or home?)

    Lacking motivation today so I'm going to make a cup of tea, cleaning trainers whilst it boils and brews and then see how I get on with HHP
