    Morning granny :wave:

    I think I'd cry too if I had to leave you :(

    I suppose getting grandpa to sort out the jobs in the house with his extra money is a good idea, it certainly works on the longer term plan, but holidays can be nice too, not that I've had one for many years, just pulling up some memories of one :rotfl:

    Morning my lovely, what a sweet thing to say.

    I hope you are feeling better today and that Bear is looking after you.

    Oh dear.

    Well be thankful that he's not looking like this then -

    I'm sure he's sorry, he just doesn't know how to say it

    No he's not :rotfl:

    I'm not very keen on dogs and cats that are bred without fur, I think they look wrong and I can't imagine the injuries I'd get if I tried to put a jumper on a cat :eek:

    That is one of the ugliest cat breeds ever, isn't it. I'd make a jumper just for Bear if he ended up like that and help you put it on him too. :D

    Hope you are feeling better tonight x

    Had my 1st NSD of August so far. Went shopping with OH and he paid, he also filled my car up with petrol without prompting. :D We're using it to go away so it's not like I'll benefit but at least I didn't have to remind him of the deal we agreed. :D

    Didn't dye my hair last night after all and haven't done it today either. Instead I got OH to pay for some good shampoo, (sneaked it into the basket :p) and used that. My hair looks really nice so I'm glad that I didn't spend that money yesterday. :j

    Other than that have spent the day packing and tidying up whilst OH lay around on the sofa watching sport. TBH he is shattered after all the o/t he's done lately.

    Had steak and chips with mushroom and peppercorn sauce for tea and half bottle of red wine, (possibly more :))

    Leaving fairly early tomorrow so may not get to post and not sure what internet coverage I'll have for the week. Will check in when not out enjoying myself.

    Hope you all have a good week.

    Lots of love Granny x

    Here's some chocolate and wine to keep you going whilst I'm away, oh and a banana for Piq :rotfl:
