  • I’ve not got an update on the animals yet, there’s no helping some people, but here’s hoping the animals will make their way if they are meant to be.

    1 I applied for a few roles, had a few calls, no fruition, but the cv’s out there.
    2 Work done again, and half term traffic appreciated.
    3 Washing loads being done.
    4 Fish and veggies tonight as pizza is on the menu tomorrow.
    5 Clearing down the freezer is working well.

    2) left over meatballs for lunch
    3) a really nice and very knowledgeable prof has agreed to be my mentor
    4) dd2 very kindly came fetched me at 8:30 while mrpiano cooked supper. I am bushed!

    Morning,

    Soooooo tired yesterday after driving home from Snowdome just before midnight! Too tired to tackle my list of things to do this week....

    1. Warm all day, so did not have to put heating on.

    2. I can see the bottom of the washing basket.

    3. Free coffee in Caffe Nero with 02 after successful shop in Mr W with vouchers and PYO.

    4. Mum's Taxi duties this evening. I count this as spending time with my children! :rotfl:

    5. Did get a few things ticked off the list.......found the Magnums in Iceland for DS2 and spent round pounds in Poundland. Small things, but still ticks off the list!

    PK Hope your ankle and DS mend quickly.

    :)

    Skint - hoping your ankle improved soon and your son too.

    1. Got through the day at work.pleasure was two colleague who helped get me through the day. One of whom feels exactly the same way I do and the other is under the same strain of not more than others but if she is abrupt will apologise and does what she can to help.I

    2. Home and a walk round the garden to relax and become me again.

    3. Tea from freezer.DS2 didn't need tea as he are out at work.

    4. A cheque in the post. Made me smile as it was for 19p.

    5. Phone call with my Mum and Dad. They are ok, my Dad is improving and feeling much happier than he has been.

    6. DS2 is being considered to play for the 1st rugby team. He is aware it's due to injuries but is really pleased. Hoping he will get free kit!!

    Healing vibes for sore ankles and beloved sons.

    Tuesday pleasures,

    Quick trip into horsey town for flowers, found a smashing Autumn arrangement.

    Visit to pal, she had operation on BT few weeks back, she now faces rounds of Radio and Chemotherapy, hard to know what to say so will go with practical help instead.

    Piggy bank raided and new rugs arrived for the beautiful Lulu, like most horses and their owners she will be much better dressed than me although have invested in some much needed insulated wellies.

    Warm but blowy afternoon, good amount of jobs completed and ready for baked risotto supper.

    GBBO.
  • 5 BoPsie has noted that Bop has gone a long stint without even a day off! Unlike educationalist who have all summer off and this week as well! So BoP being so good is now in wind down mode! Apple of Big beckons and we are this time taking our Roger with us, especially for my fish headed friends on Buck of Face. Selfies coming up! Pictures coming soon!

    4 Watched The Lightkeepers last evening on ZonAma! That will keep you busy this evening. Better than watching some fake dance show!
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lightkeepers
    BoPsie remarked how Mr Drefuss was nearly as grumpy as BoP!

    3 BoPsie murmered that a curry evening shall be had, she has to be obeyed!, and as a pure coincidence, it will be next Thirstday night, as I have had enough of the mill and taking FryDay Off!

    2 Day BoPsie is out at a societal mass inclusion event, where everyone is the same and led like sheep. We had one earlier this week in town called a firework display! These events that you must attend or forever keep your trap shut because it is what the sheep want! Still she looked in the mirror this morning and realised that there were no strings pulling her thoughts and she will recover!

    Look in the mirror and you will see you!

    Morning all - pleasures for yesterday

    1. Got quite a lot of work done on the train to and from Manchester
    2. Where i met a former colleague and he bought me lunch... After a row about who was paying for it.. :p (as in we both wanted to)
    3.Nice walk to station and OH picked me in the drizzly evening
    4. OH cooked chicken curry last night.
    5. DS messaged that he met the lead singer of one of our favourite bands at Lime St Station.

    Hoping to see him later as we are all going to take the MiL out for dinner - she got a mobility scooter yesterday. This is fab news as it means we can do more with her..
    I wanna be in the room where it happens
