    Absolutely chucking it down ATM it's so dark too

    Back from work , 3 loads of washing done and on the airer , I tumbled the socks and pants , just to get some of it out of the way

    Made a carrot and lentil soup, dd2 wants something hot at school now the weathers turned , I shall take some to work too. I'm in the process of making a whole meal loaf to go with it

    Julie wow (or ouch :D) Congratulations on the birth of your lovely Granddaughter :j
    Hilstep- hope the hospital goes ok today,hugs for you.

    Redruby- hugs for you too,hope you manage to sort out the funeral ok.

    Well we got one couple at the open viewing so the cleaning wasn't in vain,and the bonus is I didn't have anything to do today-even tea is leftover roast pork :D.Just as well after a hectic few days,DGDs mum was poorly on Friday so I had her,she was staying the night anyway,& we all went to DH Aunties 90th birthday lunch on Sat,then DH & I went to the local beer festival in the evening.Didnt go mad as we had to go to dog training Sun morning but it was good :beer:

    Just met a nice lady with 2 labradors when I was out with Lyla.She was telling me she meets a few other dog owners every day in the fields,the dogs get on great and the younger ones learn from the older ones,which sounds ideal,so she very kindly gave me her mobile no. and if I want to go out I can,but no pressure :)

    Been to ald! this afternoon.DH and Dil2b will only be a couple of weeks off moving into their house now so thought I'd buy them a kitchen starter pack of groceries so I got herbs,spices,tins,pasta ,couscous,etc foil clingfilm,added some stuff from my own stock cupboard too,the kinds of things you wouldnt necessarily think to get in your usual weekly shop,like vinegar :rotfl:it's filled 2 big bags so need to give him that to take over tonight if poss,think he's here for tea but I never know these days.I've frozen a complete roast dinner for 2 for them from yesterdays big joint,trying to build a little stash for after Baby is born.

    Right,better stop waffling,hope everyone is as ok as they can be x
    Molly-hope your tum settles soon.

    redruby hope today wasn't to hard on you

    Julie67 congrats to you Granny,pic of new baby please.I was drooling over my friends two new grandchildren on Saturday.She had the little girl and I had the boy and we were clucking away like a pair of old hens:):) their Mum had gone out for a pub meal with her friend so we got to have the babies for a couple of hours.There is something about a new little one that takes us back to when we were young Mums.

    Hilly baby steps honey one day at a time.

    Blooming chilly this evening so I have dug out a thick jumper and have put it on.I am trying to last out as long as I can before the heating goes on.
    Knit and natter was good.Tomorrow its coffee morning at Dobbies with U3A then tomorrow night its quiz night at the pub (I love Tuesdays :):))
    Have a good evening all what ever you are doing
    Cheers JackieO xxx
