Morning all,gorgeous here.Just pottering round at the moment waiting for DH to come back from a couple of work errands.We may nip into town but depends on the time as we're off to the match about 1.30-think it will be cutting it fine really which is a bit of a pain as DH needs a new phone,wanted to drop my books in at the library,and I saw some linen trousers I fancied in next
None of that sounds very MS does it.I've just made a card for DBs anniversary,going to do one next for my cousins birthday.Not sure whats for tea yet,plenty in the fridge though-did a shop yesterday.

Morning everyone
Belated :bdaycake: wishes to EG & FB, and of course Lou's DS today. Our "baby" (DS) was 27 yesterday:eek::eek:
For the gardeners on here, have you seen the Gr0up0n offer today of 5 fruit trees for £29 + £7.95 postage?
Still trying to decide whether or not to treat myself to an i-Pad, I still have to sell my old laptop and if I get an i-Pad then the netbook will also be redundant. I have the pennies, but still have to justify it to myself:o:D;)
Just been to the hairdressers to lose my "twinklies" and have a trim, my hair is growing nicely into a bob now. Two loads of washing out, but still hoping the mist will lift, and the sun breaks through, though there is a bit of a breeze which seems to be drying just slowly.
Just going to check through the 'van as off for a week tomorrow, which will include the annual service:eek::eek:, so want to check out the grocery cupboard, and what clothes I need.
Have a great weekend ((hugs)) and spoons all round. Take care. DGMember #8 of the SKI-ers Club

:bdaycake:to all who have birthdays today or yesterday :beer:
HM cottage pie for tea with green beans ( made some extra mash to go with tomorrows lunch)

the house is reasonably tidy , i sorted through my underwear drawer today and now its almost empty , looks like i will have to restock0 -
Afternoon everyone,
It is a beautiful sunny afternoon here after a foggy cold morning!
I spent the morning by the side of a cold netball court and it was freezing!
Happy birthday to your DS Lou , hope that he feels well enough to enjoy it.
Hugs to Sunflower, Molly and LW.
Tonight will hopefully be peaceful after yesterdays hectic evening. DD1 and 21 others, half of them German exchange girls, went to pizza express and then 6 of them came back here and played Lets Dance on the Wii, it was quite loud,:D
DS also had a friend round and DD2 was at ballet, I did manage to sneak out for half an hour for a swift half with some friends leaving OH in charge.
Tea tonight is sausage and mash, traditional English food so our german visitor doesn't think that we live on pizza and pasta.
Have a lovely evening everyone.:)0 -

Been MIA for a while because I have completely lost my mojoFeel like I am going down with something , no energy, weepy and generally feel blurgh_pale_ I am at the hospital on Wednesday (cardiology and respiratory.

My DD has to be at work at 6 am so effectively 5am. Guess who has to wake her up? x
Hugs xI must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.0
