    Sometimes you just CBA and need a nice chill out weekend! And the snow is clearly conspiring to make that happen.

    Glad you got out for a coffee not glad you've been crawling around in pain.
    Still no snow on the ground here a few flakes fluttered down and looked quite pretty - that's enough for me.

    I've not watched call the midwife - might get it on catch up

    Good morning beanielou

    I am really sorry to hear life is unbearable at the moment.

    I hope today is just a slight improvement on the last week or so.

    I am another of those posters who has been grateful for your words of wisdom and I hate to think of you feeling like this.

    So I reckon it is back to basics for you, my girl. Small achievements in addition to plenty of cat cuddles.

    Take care
    Pauline

    Hope you are feeling a little better and that the snow has now gone.
    It's awful here today wet and very windy. Sitting, knitting and rubbish daytime tv for me.

    I hope you're in less pain today Beanie. Has your snow melted yet? I hope you've managed to get hold of some milk.
