    Nanamia - well done with the room clearing. 15 mins burst of clearing is an interesting concept - will have to give this some consideration ;) Great news on DH's blood results - hopefully they are still dropping to where they need to be. Daren't go onto Pinterest unless I have an awful lot of spare time which never seems to happen very often these days.

    Betsie - SNAP - that's what I've got (plantar whatnot). My heart sank when you said that you have been suffering for two years :eek:. Have been doing exercises (well most of them for some of the time :o) and I have been sticking with the insoles so we will just have to see how they go. My Mum and brother had it several years ago and they seemed to give the injections straighaway - I am quite happy to wait and see what happens as I am a [STRIKE]bit[/STRIKE] lot of a coward. Hope you get relief with yours soon and that your op was a success.

    OMO - love the Women are Angels quote :rotfl: ETA today's made me smile too :T Hope the little boy is ok.

    Craftymummy - belated birthday wishes. Hope you had a lovely days.

    msgigglewick - good luck with your new venture.

    Had a busy morning and I hoovered the car out after lunch so as a reward for being a good girl I awarded myself an afternoon of stitchiness :D

    Hope you all have a good weekend,

    Hi, JJ good to 'see' you. Sun shining at the mo. but looks like it won't last. It is almost 10 o'clock, and I am still in bed, this is a record. I am only on my first cup of coffee, also a record. I walked a lap of the track yesterday with DD, suffered for it tho, as to why I am still in bed!
    OMO you have done your bit for neighbours and without getting involved you will still have eyes and ears.
    There is a load to do this weekend, if the weather holds, Nev-the-shred brought memorial bench yesterday, it is a really substantial piece, too, so if the sun still shines we are on board to 'christen ' it or launch it or whatever you do with a bench, this afternoon with a bit of bubbly.
    Must get up now. Hope we all have a great weekend xx

    hi JJ
    mrsinvisible hope the weather held and you got to christen your memorial bench. no doubt a tough day but hope you managed to celebrate some good memories
    omo hope the little boy is ok toddlers can be clumsy and bumps & bruises are common to some extent but the hospital must have had concerns to keep him in :( does sound like that have some issues so hopefully will get the support they need
    mrsmoneypenny hope your friend is ok heard of far too many people breaking legs while skiing to ever want to try it myself :eek: also reminds me I must get the kids started on making some easter cards.
    nanamia hope your ok and just busy adjusting to your new schedule

    got some bargains from sports direct online this morning joggers for the boys just £1.69 a pair was looking at the exact ones instore thursday @ £6 got some 10pks of trainer sock @ £1 & a few other bits as wanted to justify paying postage but at those prices dont mind so much when they wear out the knees after 10 mins.

    Mandco- I love sports direct to get a good deal! You certainly shopped at the right time!

    OMO- Quotes still making me laugh :)

    mrs-moneypenny- Hello my lovely , Hope your friend heals quick and that's reminded me to get my mum a card tomorrow and wrapping paper and maybe just one more gift!

    Shes got

    Pandora charm
    Pjs
    slippers
    jeans
    a pure
    purfume

    Think that is it! On the day will cook her dinner or maybe take her out depends whats going on and how we both are!

    She hates leaving the house is agrophobic but today walked round the block with me and our three dogs :) to some that sounds like nothing but for it was a massive step and she had a huge smile on her gorgeous face the whole way round! We are doing it again tomorrow so eventually her fitness/confidence builds up to walk further.

    Only trouble was on the walk my german shepard X saw another dog which was going mad and he went to run to get him I grabbed his lead to shorten it and the rope burnt my finger pretty bad :( took a good couple of layers off!

    When mums car is sorted and new battery fitted we have found another beautiful place to take the dogs for runs of the lead!

    Mrsinvisable- Hello lovely x hope you had some bubbly! I had a mocktail with a friend today! Still not allowed alcohol but I actually enjoyed and it made no difference to our little trip out.

    Where is everyone? Hope your all doing well. Hugs all round. x

    Found this deal on HUKD today for Autoglym gift pack (thanks Tecklerssss). Got three reserved for birthday/xmas pressies. Would also come in handy for anyone looking for fathers day pressies. Even better deal as it is on 3 for 2.

    Hope it might be useful for someone.

    Had great plans to get loads done today but found I was suffering from a severe case of cba. Hope is only lasts for 24 hrs as I really need to get stuff sorted before our little trip next week.

    Hope you all have a great weekend.
