*Stop The Cavalry* It's The 2014 Christmas Chatter Thread

Thanks for passing that on. So pleased she's on the mend now. Must've been a scary week for her friends and family. And a tweet from Peter Andre! Lucky girl!

Loving the weather today. We even had a BBQ and drinks in the garden. So nice to be able to do that in March.

Hope everyone else has had a nice weekend.

Been AWOL a few days! It's taken time to catch up on some sleep and sort DH meds. Some of the tablets don't interact well taken together so I've alarms set for several times per day and his usual doses making him almost rattle bless him. Fingers crossed though we've sorted the digestion of the tablets out! And the sunshine today has improved his mood
Our darling neighbours have once again been amazing- goodness we are so lucky. They've started the mammoth task of taming our back garden ready for an overhaul. (Coffee/Tea and cakes supplied)
Son from another Mum was there too, chatting away in the back garden just like old times. DH wouldn't admit it, obviously, but he thoroughly enjoyed his supervisory role.

Pixtotts hope you are feeling better my lovely. xxx
Msgigglewick how are you my lovely? You are ever so quiet, hope you are doing ok How is your diet going? xxx
b_e_g shame on Mr B's I hope the amazon ones arrive quickly and make a difference xxx
Mandco ooh you are doing well present wise! I'm really quite jealous xxx
Feisty my darling lovely! my heart goes out to you both for tomorrow's procedure. Don't be trying to think about your mortgage at the moment your brain will explode. This week is about getting DHs heart back on track and him safely home. You aren't in the right place to make these sort of decisions at the mo. Take each hour as it comes. Sending coping vibes straight to you with lots of love xxx
Sequeena how exciting! a holiday to look forward too. I'm on a countdown too but we've got 83 days! Have a fabulous time, I bet T is excited xxx
Fluffysox when you share in a post like that it's as good as bottled, your words are medicine enough to heel. Thank you so much. I've downloaded the book thief from amazon kindle for 99p so will start it shortly xxx
Mrs I ooooh bless you, you do make me giggle. You are such a wonderful friend to have around xxx
3fortheholidays isn't it lovely when people do things like that. It's the "secret of Christmas" xxx
Freespirit hope you've had a good weekend Managed to start any of your lounge?

I've had a panic moment this evening when DHs laptop started to misbehave !!! It's full of photos for "safe keeping" so sat copying them to portable hard drive. It'd break my heart to loose them.

Night night my lovelies, xxx

Not thinking up more books for me to read, are you? Got three from the library sat waiting for me. Two Carole Matthews and something else I can't remember.
Almost finished the crochet throw for my mum. A few more hours should do it. :T
Anyway, I can feel my eyes starting to close, so I'll say night night...zzzzz...

Good morning, good people, sun already shining, washing out on the line (pegs behaving well) DGS up and dressed ready for school, and a hot stone massage booked for one hours time! (did the aliens come through night and remove me, replacing with a different Mrs I? I feel like me, I look like me, am I perhaps in a parallel universe?)
Seriously, when the sun is shining it is like a different world.
Feisty, am thinking of you and the MrF that all goes well. Nanamia is right, you get through things a day at a time.
Great post from JJ, she is an amazing girl.
Fave cous is coming for lunch, so must get my soup dragon hat on and fill the slow cooker! xx

morning all
brilliant news that the lovely JJ is on the mend
continued healing vibes to all the poorlies especially to JJ and the DHs of nanamia and feisty

sorry havent been about much for a few days garage roof needed replacing so after getting a message weds night they were coming on friday we had to empty everything out then had to do a quick trip to the bank and juggle some funds. then spent weekend sorting and putting stuff back and doing a couple of tip runs with the junk. also managed to get the garage window swapped (old rotted wooden one for old but better condition upvc one) had DD2 and partner round for day yesterday so watched a couple of films and did some stitching.
have taken old bridesmaids dress apart and washed it in readiness for turning it into a cushion for my mum (hoping it looks ok)
just sent a comment to morrys about the shocking treatment i got at customer service in local store am waiting to see what the reply says (if they bother answering)

anywhos got to go work soon so just time to wish you all well and grab a cuppa before i go.
'c' you all alter

I enjoyed Let's Meet On Platform 8. I've read it more than once, although not for a while.
Saw a couple of bees in our garden over the weekend.
What did you cook for Commonwealth day?

Just got back from Hammersmith. Had tickets for a recording, but they had too many people so we didn't get in. Nice to be home early, but shame we didn't get to see the show. Got chatting to a couple of people in the queue about theatre shows and that made the waiting time go fast.
