    Good morning Halight and all,

    yes there is a nip in the air this morning. I felt somewhat chilly when i did my garden duties this morning. I had to do a bit of DIY on the tomato plants as they are top heavy and have grown such a lot since they were tied to supports. However, the supports arent quite big/strong enough so here was me at 7am cable ties in one hand and big leafy stems in the other. I love cable ties they come in so useful.

    Halight, i love Bewdley. We dont live that far from it ourselves and the last time we went we went on the Severn Valley Railway. Have you been to Button Oak? We took the children there a lot when they were little.

    Thinking of you with 'littlies' off to school. I remember my first day at school vividly. Just before dinner time i told my teacher (Mrs Eades) that i thought it was best that i went home now as Mom would be worried about me. :D My own children went to nursery so it wasnt such an upheaval for them thats not to say i didnt get upset at the first day of leaving them. I was usually pregnant at the time and was able to blame my hormones.:)

    Nmlc. I hear your rant and can match them. Hubby doesnt 'do' birthdays. I gave up on giving him a card years ago. If he cant make the effort on my birthday then neither can i. Funny how he always remembers out wedding anniversary (which is the day after my birthday though). Birthdays mean nothing to him and it shows! Its funny how he always remembers his school friend's birthday in November. My husband and i are incompatible in every single way possible and when i remind him that i am not him, it falls on deaf ears. I think its called taking someone for granted (which i am sure thats something we all are guilty of at some point in our lives).

    Plans for me today are just to finish cleaning the windows. I got sidetracked yesterday by extra stuff i wanted to do but i am pleased i finished everything else on yesterdays list. I need to phone to see if my Auntie is out of the hospital too. Anything else i do will be a bonus.

    Have a super Thursday all.

    Judi -we are not far from Bewdley too:) we go to Kidderminster a lot as our nearest big town for shopping. The Severn Valley Railway is wonderful, went on it a lot when the boys were small and also with work as the residents like the trains too.

    Morning all,

    Just popped in before I go to get weighed.
    Hope your all ok, feeling really shaken this morning. Dd rang to say her ex had been broken in during the night threatened at knife point and his car taken. Sadly it was his night to have dgs:( he saw the whole thing. Dd is beside herself. Luckily neither were hurt but oh it makes me Sad what a terrible world we live in sometimes, I feel really upset just hope it doesn't have any long lasting effe ts on DGS. He is only 3 so hopefully he can forget .
    Will pop back later when I'm feeling calmer, have a happy safe day everyone j x
