    Morning ,

    Glad you had a good holiday Leanfun30.
    Sun is shining here today, so some washing will go on the line.

    Need to be in work a little earlier today.
    After work some cleaning needs to be done. Only today and tomorrow then a weeks holiday, as it is half term.


    Have a good day

    Hi all,


    Back home for little while. Enjoyed our Highland break although I am always amazed how many foreign visitors they get. I quite often feel we are the only British visitors in places!
    Managed to see Ds3 for 10mins on way home. Gleneagles is really busy so all chefs are hands on today even doing jobs like peeling veg as the KPs can't cope. Wanted to take him his birthday present as he didn't make it home this year. Rushed down town to vote when we got back - walked as it was such a lovely afternoon. Sun is still shining away.



    Glad you had a good time leanfun. Agree it can be difficult picking from strange menus. I quite often fancy what DH has ordered when I see it.


    Hope everyone has a great half term when it comes. We only have Bank Holiday Monday here in Scotland as our kids have exams in May because of the earlier summer holidays. Always thought it was a nice time to have off especially if going abroad.

    Good morning

    Think ancient lappy has finally given up the ghost. Tried to post
    yesterday, but he wasn’t having any of it. After struggling for
    hours I eventually gave up.

    I can use iPad for comping but dislike using it for posting. Have
    a lovely day all and will pop in when I can, hopefully (eventually)
    with a new lappy.

    Take care

    Morning Everyone,

    Lovely Sunny day here. Also last day at work for a week.

    AlfieBlue I hope you get your laptop sorted out soon. Maybe you will have some luck and win a new one.

    After work I will visit my mom and then a quick pop to the shops.


    Have a good day

    Morning, glad you had a good break, leanfun and sheils. You certainly had the weather for it. I had a busy day yesterday, son had his op then nephew dropped in for a visit then had to go food shopping. The op went ok, he had some biopsys taken and has a mild form of Crohns so at last we are getting somewhere. The biopsys will take 4-6 weeks to come back so we will have to wait and see what they say. I need to pop out and get some wood glue later as cupboard in kitchen need repairing.Hope you all have a lucky day.

    Morning cooler here today but still bright.

    Sheils great you enjoyed the highlands. Would love to be going there again.

    I Love Comps hope you enjoy your week off work.

    Indie so pleased there is some movement on a diagnosis for your DS but not so good to hear Crohns do hope it is extremely mild. Hope you have managed to repair your cupboard. You sound very busy.

    Alfie sorry your laptop has finally given up. Hope you still pop in. Not seen any laptop comps lately but you never know.

    Bedmaking and shopping here. Although we do have a freezer full of food. We just need fresh food ready for DD2 coming.

    Good luck all.

    Been a nice sunny day here but bit windy. All our washing is dry though.
    Going to have a quiet week here. All my family busy working all week .
    Poor DD finished her placement and got away a bit early so she could work at the fish restaurant at 4.30pm and got held up in holiday traffic. She only just got back in time so wouldn't have time to walk her dog or eat. Just as well I managed to walk her dog earlier. Think her BF would be home before 7pm though.



    Hope your DS is ok indie.


    Alfie I hope you find a nice new lappy.


    Sounds like you are going to be busy again leanfun.


    Enjoy your holiday I Love Comps.

    Morning dull here this morning.

    Just last minute things to do here before DD2 comes tonight.

    Midweek I had a WEM that only had a heading didn’t say I’d won but when I looked up the sender it was from Older is Wiser and after contacting them I’ve won a cycle scarf
    From here
    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=5990755&highlight=buff+coolnet+uv+neckwear

    I also wrote an email to the person who sent the WEM about the night in hotel win thanking them and saying we enjoyed it. From reply I don’t think many say thank you as was recently said in other posts on here.

    Yesterday I had a phone call from a friend who lives in the Lancashire. Her mother aged 91 died this month after being very ill this year. They had been caring for her in her own home until just over two week before she died when she was hospitalised and then transferred to a nursing home. My friend had been very upset that they could not have her back in her own home. However the nursing home was so good my friend could not praise them enough.
    She was telling me that everything was straight forward dealing with her mother’s affairs. Except she wanted to be buried with her husband and apparently the plot had been bought by her grandfather and the law changed recently and the plot had to go through grand father’s estate. This meant forms had to be agreed by three relatives and one went on holiday. Fortunately it was only for a week and she now has funeral arranged.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend whatever you are doing.
