    Good evening folks,

    I hope everyone had an uneventful Friday the 13th and you are all well:)
    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.

    kerri be careful with your ankle.Can you not take it easy for a few days?

    Thanks marmite, apparently i'm not that good at RnR :o back at boot camp today, though lots of arms work - was feeling really tired and found it a real struggle. In fact, must've been tired cos I crashed out for a couple of hours this evening.

    Really can't fathom if today is a NSD or not, it's been a funny week and quite disorganised all in all - will get back on that when I'm more with it :o hope you're all well and hugs to those who need them

    btw, my cushion pads arrived today, have done one (that OH is currently testing!) but think i need to restich it as i'm not particularly happy with my sewing. Will try and get the others done first though. Hopefully will be better and easier to plump than the ones that are hollowfibre and totally squished.

    Hi everyone :wave:

    BDINI - (((hugs))) hope you're feeling better xx Mr Spoon has a cold and is feeling sorry for himself so I sympathise. Hope you're on the mend soon xx

    fae - ouch to the tooth, and hot chocolate definitely counts as food in my opinion as well :D

    marmite - hope you enjoyed the dried apricots, they're one of my favourite things:D:D

    red - I've just realised why everything went pear-shaped today, it's Friday 13th:eek::eek: Hope you managed to scythe your way through the jungle

    rising - well done for surviving your first week back:T How did Maisie cope?

    beanie - (((hugs))) hun xx Take care xx

    kerri - I don't think you should be running around as much on your ankle. Have you got it strapped up at least?

    LMH - I'm waiting with bated breath to see you declare NSD no 1........ :)


    And NSD no 11 for me today, yay!!!! It's too bloomin' wet to go outside :mad: and I can't be bothered looking for something to spend my money on online, how bad is that?:o

    (((Hugs))) to anyone who needs one and I'll be back tomorrow with an update :eek: Hope I haven't forgotten how to do one.....
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)

    Good morning folks:j,

    Just popping in before I go to the gym:eek:.
    Spoony, the weeds in the back yard remind of a jungle and if I thought it was going to be dry for 3 days, I'd definitely consider copious amounts of weedkiller, but there has been way too much rain:mad:
    I'll be back later to let you know if I've had an NSD, although as it's a Saturday, it may not happen. I hope everyone enjoys the weekend:D

  • I'm afraid I'm going to have to drop out this month, as a change in our circumstances means that I am shopping for food almost daily. I will return as soon as I am somewhere with an internet connection and access to a kitchen.

    Hi,hope you're all having a great weekend!Another working day today,busy but not too much.Anyway,very happy to have tomorrow off.Oh and today is #9 I'm pleased to say.:D

    spoon very impressive numbers,I'm jealous!

    kerri take it easy-I know it's easy to say.:o Your ankle will be so grateful!

    phoenix_dragon sorry to read about the change in your circumstances.Don't worry about dropping out,hope that your situation improves soon.
  • Spoon Maisie coped really well, thanks for asking:)

    She's really good in the house & finally managing to get into a routine - esp at lunchtimes which have been proving a bit of an issue (nightmare parking where I work:()

    I've found a great dog walker (bit :eek: at the cost but once it's offset against not using the fuel for getting home, it's not too bad) - so I'm coming home 2 days, have the dog walker 2 days & am planning to leave her on the 5th day as I can go in late (for me!) & we finish early on a Friday.

    Hoping that'll work - it's fine coming home just now but having a bit of a panic in case the weather's terrible in the winter and there's the odd day I can't get back :(

    Anyway ...... sorry, blabbering on as usual:o

    No NSD for me today as did the grocery shop.
