    Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone:A

    I have had a lovely day so far, a close friend that I haven't seen for years popped over with flowers and a card DD has pampered me all morning (DS was at college) but he is going to pamper me all afternoon, he doesn't know yet though :rotfl:.
    I have the outlaws coming round in a little while and I do so love my DD she is perfect in every way lalala
    (that is DD's contribution to the conversation, off to batter her :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)

    JackieO great news about the op :T
    I will send healing vibes your way on Sunday.

    Must have some lunch before I get more visitors

    Afternoon all,

    Happy Birthday butterfly Brain have a fab day x
    JackieO great news on your op:j

    I'm back at the consultants tomorrow. It's 12 wks and still can't bend my leg properly so they want to have a look, it may be I need a small op to remove scar tissue, we shall see.
    Been a busy morning here. Had to nip to a different WW meet as I'm at the hospital and have lost another 2 lb :T half a stone in two weeks so very pleased.
    Also had to take a tshirt back to Matalan and change it, nip to the council with some paperwork and call at the library with my books,,phew.
    I'm now sat with my leg up enjoying a well earned cuppa.
    busiscoming aren't they a worry, who was it who said your only ever as happy as your happiest child. My youngest managed a B in his mock AS level Biology so very pleased with that. Also he has managed to find a job:T its a local retirement complex working behind the reception and bar as and when they need him, £6.50 an hour and they are happy for him to take his books and study when it's quiet. Really hoping it works out ok.
    Dh is really busy in the garden and the kitchen window is full of seedlings as it always is at this time of year. Our new raised beds look fab, can't wait to harvest all the lovely fruit and vegetables.
    Roast chicken for tea, and a couple of nice quiet days as DGS is at his daddies. He's off to Canada at Easter with daddy for a week, he is a real globe trotter for a five year old!
    My lovely dh has booked us a night away at the weekend, not sure where it's a surprise. He feels I need a break as it's been a rough few months. I'm so lucky he's a wonderful husband:D
    Anyway best get on, have a great day x

    Happy Birthday Butterfly Brain! Sounds like it's a good day. Enjoy the rest of it.

    Been on the school trip and I am exhausted! Going to have a sit down for a while before I get the dinner (don't even know what it is yet!)


    Been fine but cold all day but it's just started raining quite hard.


    Take care. XX

    Happy Birthday, butterfly brain!

    Busy day today, with an excellent talk at our U3A, visit to B &Q for paint on our 10% discount, ironing and on the phone to Npower.

    I was asked to send a meter reading, which I did. But their website said we are due for a bill in September! I spoke to a very nice guy, who promised to sort it and I am waiting for call back.
