QUOTE=redruby;56942701]Morning all,



Meant to say, my sistercas fund had come in very handy for Xmas bits, have bought everything out of there so far, and it really helps not using my 'normal' money. Talking of Sistercas, where are you love ?? hope you are ok xxx

I also enjoy having the luxury of time to take my dogs on a really long walk each day. We live one field away from a large wood and to see three springer spaniels tearing through brambles and bracken, kicking up leaves and jumping fallen logs makes my heart sing.
Hope you all have a good day.

its lovely isnt it , i dont have a dog ( wish i did though) we have just had a couple of days in scarborough and yesterday morning we were sat having coffee on the front watching a chap throwing a ball into the sea and 2 dogs belting in, jumping over waves and swimming back with the ball , they looked like they were having so much fun , we certainly enjoyed watching them

Hi all

Sunny day here today; and thankfully the lake that the field had turned into has more or less drained down, just a bit still flooded at the bottom.

It'll be Mary's last night here tonight;:( Dylan will arrive tomorrow, for nine days.:T I've checked on the information sheet from last time he stayed, and it doesn't particularly mention him being scared of fireworks; we'll be prepared to keep him distracted, just the same, though.;) I dislike the dratted things myself, and it's so upsetting to see a dog cowering under the table because of all the loud bangs and whistles coming from outside.:mad:

Judi I know what you mean about losing confidence; I'm the same. I can't even have Mr LW watching me while I'm dishing up dins, or I get so nervous that I shake.:( Literally!:eek: I'm sure it's to do with not being able to do things I used to - stuff that used to take me 5 minutes flat now takes half an hour, and exhausts me. I even have to use both hands to open a door knob these days, can't do it one-handed.:(

Mr LW has to go for his flu jab tomorrow - he gets offered it because he's my Carer. I was going to go with him and wait in the car, in case he's not up to scratch for driving home, but he's said no, he'll be fine. He's going to do the F&V run first, though, so that at least he can come straight home.;)

I think I just heard the post arrive, so better see what horrors we have today.:eek::D

Right better get my butt into gear. Not sleeping very well lately, KC and her various squeaks and demands, snoring dog, waking children so feel tired but I need to get moving :eek:

Im another who is not sleeping brilliantly all because of my doggies.
Poppy heard her first firework on Tuesday night and has been a wreck ever since. They are both sleeping in with us - Molly on my side of the bed ! Poppy happier today though but the fireworks will start with a vengeance tonight:eek::eek::eek:

Just back from Osteo and Cranial and feel much better now.

OMG (as DD would say)

Just made these cinnamon buns - http://whatscookingamerica.net/Bread/CinnamonRollsFantastic.htm

they are amazing, the dough is beautiful, so easy to work, and the taste, well I hope they last till tomorrow night, or I,ll have to make more.:p

Sorry to rave, but the kids just shrugged and munched when I got a bit over enthusiastic....:o

Sistercas - whenever I take my girls out and we meet other dogwalkers they always comment along the lines of 'why do you let them get so dirty'? (see homepage for a sample of our walks!!) Excuse me - they are springer spaniels, we live in the country and they are proper country dogs. Sure, my floors get dirty, but they can be washed, sure their beds get soggy but they can be washed, sure my kitchen sometimes smells of wet dog but windows can be opened. To see three happy spaniels gently steaming, quietly snoring and 'catching rabbits in their sleep' in front of the woodburner on these dark evening is one of those '5 OS pleasure in your day' moments.
Mind you, I was always the mum at the school gate on a rainy day saying 'yay, let's go puddle jumping'! Kids (and dogs) love mud and life is too short to keep saying 'mind the puddle, you don't want to get dirty' - actually, yes, we DO want to get dirty.

Lillibet, me & DH love to see dirty dogs enjoying themselves when we go out walking

Not much OS going on, still got scaffolding up, allotment is slowly being put to bed for the winter, DH still working 60+ hour weeks over 6 days, but hey, I've still got a job (for now - Local Government so due another round of cuts ), as has DH, and we're both relatively healthy apart from the odd snuffle.

Hugs to all who would like one

Ooooeer missus!

We have brilliant sunshine here - but have had 2 minutes of the most incredible hailstorm. All the car alarms are going off! What on earth is going on with this weather?

We've had alternate hail & sunshine all morning, with incredibly gusty wind as well, but we're on the Fylde coast so a bit of breeze off the Irish Sea is quite normal!

I am super excited that I now have an old Singer sewing machine!



It is from about 1939 and is beautiful! Only does straight stitch - so no zig zag or back stitch - but I mostly do little crafty things so it should be fine.

Just have to find a sturdy folding table as I don't have room to have it out all of the time.

I feel very old fashioned (attempting!!) to sew on it!

I was once walking along the river bank near me when a black lab jumped out of the water & jumped up at me, I was soaked & covered in muddy paw prints, the owner was mortified, but TBH, I didn't mind.
