Hi all
dusty hugs for you and your friend
Having a complete brain freeze so hugs, spoons & sticks where needed/wanted
My friend L (battling the C) has posted on FB that she feels she is declining - she has been so strong up until nowOnce you give up mentally....
Piggers I hope baby Poppy is continuing her battle and her Dad is improving
CY thinking of you and your mum (is it tomorrow you're going to the Drs?)
WM has been on and washing hung on indoor line
Ends of my hair & the unwanted parts of my eyebrows have been decluttered. (not like the girl on Educating Yorkshire who shaved hers off)
Natty have you got your new cat yet? If so is she settling in ok?

Great idea but try and get a couple of prices. I was getting rid of my old wedding, engagement and eternity rings and took them to a jewellers in Leamington Spa, he offered me £75. I took them to the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham and got £180 :eek: and that was purely for scrap value, diamonds were too small and the gold was 9ct so they wouldn't resell as while pieces.
Thanks for the advice. After my village, the nearest town to me has a couple of what I call dodgy looking 'buy your gold' shops which I am scared of. Also I have to factor in train fares as I've not got a car. Think I'll see what the local bod says then claim the dodgy shop in town offered me more...
Honey Bear do you have a pic of Mrs Dog in her jacket?
Has anyone heard from Lamewolf? I think she's due back any time soon. I miss her xx*If you have nothing nice to say... say nothing*"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." Martin Luther King Jr0 -

Evening all, have just spent a very frustrating 2 hours trying to get the sat nav computer assistant to update..stupid computer wouldn't let me. Finally gave up and have deleted the whole thing and we are going to use the sat nav until it sends us up a wrong way street. Then going over to my phone's sat nav, although not sure why we don't use that all the way.. but boys and their toys!!!
Hugs to Dusty, it must have been pretty traumatic for you and your friend. Hope she is doing as well as can be in hospital.
Jo thank you for letting us know about the donations for our own darling Toots.
Going to bed and hopefully get the rest of the housework done tomorrow - I have nearly finished the list, the living room looks really nice and tidy. And I have even sorted out the shelving unit and put what I want on displayMortgage Free as of 20.9.17Declutter challenge 2023, 2024 🏅 🏅⭐️⭐️

deco nope, Summer isn't coming to us until the 29th of this month. As we are away next week we felt it wasn't fair to have her here for a bit, then leave her with my two alone for a week. So we are getting her then and we can concentrate on settling her in. Although from what I can gather from the rescue place she is being really really laid back about everything. But I am getting more and more excited.. And Dh has told me I can't buy her anything else as the kitty litter tray and her new carrier cost a fortune on Amazon..but then only the best for herMortgage Free as of 20.9.17Declutter challenge 2023, 2024 🏅 🏅⭐️⭐️
