scrummy-mummy aren't those cuddles priceless? My DD and DS are too big to sit and cuddle any more but now I can cuddle with the DGC, especially the youngest who's a wonderfully affectionate little girl

Kiwiblue, just adding my good wishes and gratitude for your excellent news, how wonderful for you both

Hope everybody is feeling better, the anti-b's have done me good already. Only another 5 days of the course so this time next week I'll be running around like a 2 year-old again

Yes, i do adore the cuddles, i would cuddle my children all day if i had the chance. Unfortunately i am 'supposed' to do other things like washing, cooking and cleaning; how droll

Glad to hear the anti-b's are working for you, i always find them amazing, but unfortunately they do give my tummy awful jip. Thankfully i don't have to take them often and i hope that you don't either

Have a lovely day!

Have missed a few days due to other distractions but:
1. First viewing of neighbour's cat who has just had delightful kittens. Visited the
'maternity ward' when they were only a few hours old.
2. Daily visits to our garden of wild drake and his female.. They wander around for
ages and try to mess up our small pond. Will she lay her eggs in our garden
I wonder? Think it was the same duck who visited us last Spring.
3. More veggie seedlings peeping through.
4. Bought some bagged manure and have dug it into bean & tomato border and
part of veggie patch.
5. Off tomorrow for a week-end at the seaside.

Olliebeak thanks for the laugh you gave me, re. chatting up men LOL

Reverbe, didn't you love the Story of the Weeping Camel film? I thought it was soooo good, I told my (then) colleagues when I was still working as a doula, that it is a film on doulaing for camels! It was so sweet!

Anyway here are my five for today:

1 - Almost 100% recovered, up and about early and feeling energised.

2 - Lovely weather again!

3 - Breakfast with DS (healthy eggy bread cooked in fry light and a glass of organic OJ)

4 - Ironed all DH's shirts at long last!

5 - I went a little mad, it is not terribly OS, but I ordered a bottle of organic perfume from Jo Wood online (also, after that horrible husband of hers run off with the russian waitress, I thought I'd do something sisterly for the woman - nothing like an excuse for a treat!).

Got to do some work now, have a good rest of the day xxx

Sparrer - will the dripping duvet fit in a new dustbin bag as far as the line? If it was watertight you could then bump it downstairs and drag it to the door!

Thank you Broomstick, a great idea. Perhaps I'll use 2 sacks, one inside the other, to be on the safe side. Will also wait til DS is home before I do it, I'm 4'11 3/4" and he's normal height :rolleyes: so better able to haul it up onto the line. And if he does it I don't get wet :rotfl:

I haven't been on for a few days due to a gastric stomach bug :eek: but am much better now. (((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))) to anyone needing one. <y 5 for today are:

1. DD's friend brought her new (2 1/2wks) baby round this afternoon & I got to feed her & cuddle her. The beautiful new baby smell. Good job DH & I are too old and the kids yet too young (IMO ) or I'd be broody

2. Sunshine this afternoon I sat out for half an hour chatting to DS2.

3. Washing dried in the above sunshine :T

4. Anticipated pleasure of The Apprentice tonight although as an Old Styler the catering challenge that it is this week looked dodgy to say the least :rotfl:

5. Lovely chat with my Mum on the phone.

Blessings to everyone tonight.

Evening all,

Thanks everyone for the good wishes especially scrummy-mummy, sparrer, scousewife, shopndrop, olliebreak and bellaquidsin. You are a very kind bunch. I still feel "icky", like so many of us on here, ahh am home now so can relax. Hope everyone who feels under the weather, feels better soon.

Here's mine:-

1. Reading the OS blessings on here.
2. Getting a free goodie bag at the ideal home show (late in the day) and passing the goodies to someone else when I got home
3. Chatting to a work colleague today, we had a right giggle
4. Receiving some sale packages through the post today (thanks to this site) and seeing my OH pleased with his bargains

I can only get to 4. Better than I felt the other day. Hugs to all. :A

Hi chaps. We are still disorganised. The decorator is in our room now so we are sleeping without curtains and all the furniture is under wraps. I was lucky to find any clean clothes this morning. However, our blessings for the last few days are

1) A pleasant evening yesterday, when we all sat in the living room by the fire with homework etc
2) A very good book delivered to read in time for Book Club
3) DH organised the study this morning as a spare bedroom for
4) Having a friend's daughter to stay as her parents are working in an orphanage overseas for Easter. She will eat anything and has been very polite. Lovely!
5) A bunch of flowers from a friend as thanks for the occasional lift. Actually, the nice chat that goes with it is enough but I did appreciate them

My pleasures for today:-

1. The ironing helped along by an audio book - free from the library (OAP)

2. Swapping over my summer wardrobe and winter wardrobe. Maybe a bit early but I'll manage the walk to the spare bedroom if I have to:rolleyes:

3. Lots of winter stuff washed and line dried in lovely sunshine.

4. A chat with my neighbour over the fence. Don't see her very often especially in the winter.

5. Lovely light evenings.

Bella.
