Happy Birthday Jackie I hope you have had a lovely day.

We got back from Truro last night. Thank you for all the house hunting vibes. We have had an our application accepted subject to references. We should get the keys the week of 5th March.

It isn!!!8217;t furnished, so I need to get some serious charity shopping done in the week before we move in. Needs to be very MSE as we will be leaving most of the stuff here for AirBnb.

Hi everyone,

JackieO, I hope you have had a lovely birthday:A

Judi, what a glorious view. There is a lovely thread “5 O/S Pleasures....” where people list the little things & some not so little, that have brightened their day or brought a smile to their face:) It is very uplifting, as even those who have more troubles than I could cope with, can still manage to find some little pleasures:) in their day.

FurryBeastOz, congrats on your good news & I hope that your cs visits are fruitful:)

Deleted_User, glad OH is finally on the mend:j hopefully less work for you & time to look after yourself.

Dumpling, what a lovely thing to happen:) Bobby will have a wonderful life with you to look out for him:j

Hard Up Hester, it made me tired just reading about your ‘average day’ I hope you find some time for yourself:)

Nelski, keep up the good work:T

My day was spent continuing with the clothes sorting - washing etc, ironing & putting away, Rag bagging & sorting for cs bags. Now only have 3 x two feet high piles of clothes to sort BUT have about a four foot high pile of washing to do (as I got distracted by the airing cupboard:eek:) I think once the towels are washed I will discover that 50% of them are not fit for purpose so I think a donation to Mudchute Farm for lambing season is likely:A

My DH engineered a ‘piece’ to help him ride his motorbike more comfortably, as he still has problems bending his knee nearly 7 years after his accident (nearly lost his leg in Scotland but the care he received in Scotland & then the op at The Royal London & all the aftercare from the NHS meant that he kept the leg & only has a slight limp & less flexibility in the knee joint - our biggest blessing:))
Then he put up the new blind & new curtain pole in the spare room. Only the new light fitting to put up & a new carpet to be purchased - tomorrow’s main task is shopping for carpet, sofa(s) & taps - so we get to test his handiwork on the bike:)

All in all, a good day but still seriously behind on the decluttering & decorating:(

Sorry to have blathered on!

Hope the ‘Sandman’ does his job properly tonight:D

Hi chums, well what a smashing day I had had with my lovely tribe. I have been thoroughly spoiled by them, from my grandsons upwards.

My eldest grandson phoned me from New York bless him, and we had a long natter via Whatsapp.

My eldest DD and my son-in-law are flying out to see him and his wife on Friday for a week. Their last trip was sadly cut short in October because my son-in-laws Dad, our brave fighting Frank was so ill.

So this holiday although they are looking forward to it is a bittersweet one for them all. But Danny says he will make sure his Mum and Dad have a good trip.

DGS Ben phoned from Uni in Norwich and said he was sorry not to be home to have some of my DD's HM birthday cake, He graduates in May and then he is hoping to start his PGTC in September.

DGS Jack bought me a lovely strawberry prosecco candle and room diffuser Eldest DD got me the jigsaw table that I wanted and youngest bought me so many bits and pieces from chocolate to smellies and some gorgeous coconut shampoo and conditioner plus a brand new purse as my old red one was falling to bits. She also gave me a lovely jug to put by my TV with some artificial lavender in it which she had sprayed with lavender oil.

All in all I have had so many things, I am indeed a very loved old lady and I feel so blessed to have so many good friends and family.

But best of all is the warm welcome I get from my DGS whom I adore and they got so excited to just see me walk through the door tonight I am indeed a very lucky ,loved old Granny

Thank you all for my birthday wishes you too are I feel part of my tribe ,although I have not met many of you, but the friendship we all share enforces to me that there are a lot of smashing people in the world and the news just focusses on the baddies and not the good ones

Much love to you all,

cheers chums
