  • Oh indie well done on the win, how lovely, it's wonderful we can treat ourselves ad family with this hobby there is no way we can afford it otherwise! Glad nephews able to drive again xx

    Canterbury was amazing even managed to pop in debenhams got fitted for a bra and came out with 2, 4 pairs of panties for £30 ..Primark always shrink plus 32g hard to find! I have my eye on a french camisole and knickers ..think will ask fil will "buy" them for me (ie send my sil in to buy them when she asks for him what I would like..hes 84 and very wonderful but rather forgetful)
    We handled the roman and anglo-saxon skeleton, one had been murdered (huge pick axe looking hole in head) Not your normal weekend activity, now warmer weathers here should be able to fit some digs in.
    Didn't manage gardening but kitchen has been flyladied into an inch of it's life!
    Have a wonderful day all, wine in hand, roast in the oven..I even have make up on! Much love to all.
    Oh thanks re nursing home funding info xx

    Morning all.

    Indie so pleased to hear good news about your nephew.

    Hi Wingbins yes, another holidays over. Great to hear from you.

    Firefly brilliant you went out to garden centre and had lunch most garden centres now are great places to go. A wonderful break for you.

    Mummy2threeboys your weekend sounded good.

    This week I am meeting up with a friend whose husband died nearly two years after a very short illness. He was 72 and she!!!8217;s now 68. She has coped really well but has a problem with being too beautiful. Not something I know about. It is a whole different world. She is blond and used to teach law to doctors so very bright. I!!!8217;ll pop in when I can.

    Hope everyone has a good week and be lucky.

    Good Morning,

    Misty start here and been raining, so annoyed we are due to miss the good weather in this area! Booked Sunday night away, near Whitley Bay before our caravan holiday neat St Abbs on Monday. It is showing brilliant sunshine there and rain here and as there was offer on......

    Hope you enjoyed the garden centre FF. Did you buy anything?

    Great you are getting on with the garden Alfie. We are trying to do some and have managed to do some without getting a sore back.

    You sound like you had a good day mummy2.

    Hope your mum is ok wingo. Parents do start to be a worry especially when we have children to worry about too. DH goes on about us being the sandwich generation. At least we don't have his parents to worry about too. Hope you enjoyed your holiday.

    Hope you enjoy meeting your friend leanfun.

    Wishing everyone a lucky week.

    I had a wonderful time yesterday! Lovely drive over
    Lymington way, lots of horses, donkeys, cattle etc doing
    their own thing and this:

    https://www.ukcyclingevents.co.uk/events/wiggle-new-forest-spring-sportive/

    :eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I'd totally forgotten that they have this event every year!
    However it was lovely to see all the cyclists - they had a
    fairly tricky route though, quite a few steep hills to
    contend with. Perfect weather though. So, my trip out
    took longer than expected, but was still enjoyable & I
    even managed to stop off at my favourite garden centre
    for a cuppa & slice of cake too!

    Sounds as if you had a lovely time yesterday fire**fly
    at the garden centre. :dance: Lol, I wouldn't have hesitated
    either! You know what I'm like! Pleased you had a greatl
    time. :T :dance:

    wonderful day. xxx

    :j Very well done on brilliant comp wins indie & I Love comps :j :T

    Great you managed to book your spa morning sheils. xx

    Sorry to hear that you had no success in buying a jacket
    yesterday leanfun. I always find lingerie departments
    overwhelming! :eek: Pleased you found what you were
    after in the end. I honestly hate trawling around the shops
    then coming home with nowt! :p

    I've never heard of fly lady mummy2, had to google it! :o
    :rotfl::rotfl: Must admit though it sounds brilliant - and well
    done to you re kitchen! :T :j Hope you had a lovely relaxing
    evening after all of that! :D

    :wave: Hi wingo, lovely to 'see' you. :p Hope you had an
    enjoyable couple of weeks off work - bet the time flew by
    though!

    Well must fly myself, have a lovely and lucky day all
    and please take care whatever your plans.

    Hi everyone sorry not been in of late but things have been a bit hectic and OH has been in and out of hospital. Also my back is not improving so managed to get an app at doctors this morning as pain killers are not touching it:(

    Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes and sorry I wasn't able to pop in yesterday.

    Look like its a beautiful day here today, some sunshine at last! I expect you will all be out in your gardens or on country rides today.

    Have a lovely day everyone.

    :hello: Good morning everyone

    Hope you're all in fine fettle on this glorious Tuesday
    morning! soleil07j.gif

    Me thinks we're in for some very warm weather this
    week! :j

    Had a busy morning yesterday, did two trips to my local
    recycling centre - so that's me up to date with clearing
    out stuff no longer used/required!

    Years ago the recycling centre was such a dump! However
    it's now a joy to take rubbish/recycling goods there. :p It's
    so pristine and well organized these days! :T

    Did anyone watch the Queen’s Green Planet yesterday
    evening? I thought it was absolutely brilliant. :T :D

    such an amazing lady. :A

    Booking Sunday night at Whitley Bay sounds perfect sheils
    before your stay at St Abbs. It sounds lovely.

    So sorry to hear that DH is still poorly and your back is
    still painful sylv. Sending big (((hugs))) to you both. xxx

    Many congrats on winning a bag of wine mummy 2!
    Excellent prize! drinking-wine-smiley-emoticon.gif Your days ahead sound so
    incredibly busy but fun! You're an absolute angel! :A

    Well, must get on. Got to do comp catch up before I

    Good Morning,

    Glad you have lovely weather Alfie. It is like the middle of winter here - torrential rain and 50mhp winds with flood warnings in area! Going to get some sunshine on Thursday afternoon according to forecast.

    Well done on the wine mummy2 (yes equivalent of 2 bottles!)
    You have a busy time, having had 3 boys and a girl I remember it well. Glad they are all grown up now! Whitley Bay is lovely and yes their fish and chips are amazing and usually huge.

    A bay treee sounds lovely FF. I bought 20 pansies yesterday and planted them so hope they are ok in the bad weather. They shouldn't get thirsty anyway.

    Hope everyone has a lucky day and their weather is better than ours.
