Oh Bossy, that's such a nuisance; hope it can get sorted out quickly.

Some of you have been up ages and got stuff done already - I've only just finished my breakfast! S came into me at 7.30 which was late for him and I promptly fell asleep again after. Going to get another cuppa, then need to get going as want to get to town to pick up o/s present from Mr T and a few other jobs.

Super helpful thread so thanks:)

Copied the to-do's and added a few of my own.

Off to SM this morning, to get drinks and a few other bits, then back home and an afternoon in the kitchen:)

Morning all

Narco - love the flowers.

I've dealt with the delivery, repurposed the box it came in, juggled washing, ordered dog food online which should be here Wednesday (I am not attempting to get a 15kg bag of food home on foot! Plus its free delivery over £29 anyway, and I had a £3 off a £30 shop ), had breakfast & set up recordings on the dvr until tomorrow night. I was going crosseyed trying to read the Radi0 Times so quit :rotfl: Woke up to find the single layer of paint on the window has run in the night due to condensation so windows are open and I'll have to clean that up and get 2 coats on today! DD is on a go slow so I'm going to give her a kick

White Christmas is on this morning so may have to watch that while I pull some ironing in.

Ooh thank you, I hadn't noticed but meant to check it out. Have just rushed downstairs to put the recorder on.

I'm recording it too - never seen it!

Thanks mrs mp I'm trying to keep it drained and clean - as you say with saltwater and alternating with mouthwash. It's still not painful, I'm just fed up of it now

Well, we've only just finished breakfast - we went for a walk / scoot / ride first - weather forecast is spot on, as the clouds have now rolled in and the rain begun.

Just finishing my cuppa then I'll head into the kitchen, then the last bits of wrapping. Will stick a wash on too!

Calming/get well/motivation vibes to all.
Good carol service last night and pleasant meal with friends. Enough chilli and pudding so I don't have to cook this eve. Lounge still tidy. Managed to make another batch of gingerbread circles while cooking pudding last night.

- washing up done
- cards to neighbours delivered
- some pruning done; noticed scruffy clematis hanging down by front door when I hung wreath, so have chopped it. Bizarre weather - clematis had some big green shoots on, it is so mild here. Pruned another few things near front door and decided I need some pansies or something pretty in a tub I just weeded. May go into town later.
- Dilemma regarding town. Original plan was to go on the way back from the gym - guess what, didn't get to gym (slap). Then planned to go on Wed. But after the bank sending me a new credit card to replace the one which had been fraudulently used, they have just emailed to say the new PIN may not work. Gah. So do I get it over with and go into town, do the "stuff" I'd planned for Wed as well? Was hoping to spend a good few hours on some reports, then a friend is coming round for coffee at 3 ish.
- got a coffee to help me decide; plan at least an hour on a report in the meantime then I'll reassess.

Garden swarming with goldfinches today. I'm sitting here with 3 feeders 2feet away from me in my study window and each has a goldfinch on. The one on the patio had 6 last time I looked.

Carol singing outside the church hall this eve. Not sure - I usually go and enjoy it, but having been to 2 services yesterday plus tomorrow we're going to to one at the Albert Hall.......hmm I'll see.

I bet you are. I had one a couple of years ago and eventually they took it out. I found the salt water better than C0rs0dyl as that stained my teeth for ages.

Does anyone fancy joining me for a HHC?
