milann said:Primroses in the front lawn sound beautiful. We have some in the back garden but not in the grass. A few years ago I planted crocus in the grass in the back garden. They came up for a couple of years but then got less and less. It bugged me I couldn’t cut the grass until the leaves died back. Then since it’s only a tiny grassed area we got artificial grass. I had some really strange dreams about the crocus trying to get out...I still think of them trapped under there. I wish I’d have dug them out before grassing it over 😱
It sounds as if you have been lucky that your sister has blocked you. I’d be tempted to do the same to her in case she suddenly decides to unblock you. I haven’t visited my sil home for about 3 years.....I got so wound up by the way she treats people I decided enough is enough. I’d never stop dh visiting his sister but I don’t encourage it either......I saw her when her dh passed away in September at his funeral as he was always ok. I did feel for her then but even if I wanted to with teir 3 I couldn’t visit even if I had a mind to.Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8946 -

I've had a very productive day today,I got all my jobs done and cooked the roast for tea, it was yummy 😍😍 Im still feeling a bit ropey so I'm going to bed soon. I changed my bedding today so have nice clean sheets to get into.
Tomorrow I can have a more relaxing day because most of the house was done today, I have some shredding to do and some receipts to sort out so will do that tomorrow. I'm also planning on trying to finish knitting the sleeve of my jumper then I can sew it together,it's getting quite cold here so could do with being able to wear it when I take B out. I'm hoping to take her for a walk over the fields tomorrow but that depends on the weather and if I'm still feeling ropey or not
One of my work colleagues messaged me earlier asking if I wanted to work tonight because they need someone to 1-1 a patient but I had to say no,if I wasn't feeling ill I would have done it but I can't go in feeling like this
Anyway I'm off to bed now to hopefully sleep off this sore throat and headache
