    Morning All - grey and windy here and I'm still lazing in bed with a cuppa and DH reading a book. I will get up soon! Chicken defrosted for tonights meal and there will be enough leftover for about another 3 meals for us. I'll put it in the oven on the timer today as I'm going to the sailing club this afternoon. A group of us had got together to go to Turkey in September but this week the company informed us they are closing the resort as not enough people going there for it to be viable. We've been offered to move elsewhere or they will do a full refund. Such a shame as we've been there before and the staff and people in the town are lovely. Will have a big impact on the area. It's thousands of miles away from the Syrian border - probably safer there than in Europe at the moment :( So discussions on what we want to do instead.
    Didn't get much done yesterday- full of good intentions! Will have a clear day tomorrow so will blitz then . Might get some odds and sods done today

    Morning all.
    Belated happy birthday Natty :bdaycake:
    Up, dressed and that's about it. Feeling a bit bleugh with a lurking sore throat, hoping it's just going to turn around and go away.
    I might take myself off to the room we laughingly call the spare room, but is actually a dumping ground and see if there is something I can fling to help cheer me up.
    Have warm and cosy days all.

    Afternoon all. Fayolle, HB and Valli, hope you're all feeling better soon.

    I have been doing some flying upstairs, keeping the bedroom as my haven at the moment and getting the washing up to date.
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • Hi all

    Been paperwork shredding and filing. Boring but necessary. Will go and tidy up in a minute. Just having a bit of a chill out first.

    Weather is awful, we have lit the fire. House is reasonably tidy but could do with a hoover, really cant be bothered though.

    Roast lamb for tea, might make a cake too.

    DGS is asleep on the settee and everyone is watching a film so I'm going to do some crochet as I've just had the sewing machine out and cleared the mending pile.
