Thanks so much all of you. I am having a lovely day. I don't know quite how I got to be this old, but it's not so bad because I've never felt as 'sorted' as I do now, or been less bothered what other people think of me.
So nice to read all your good wishes,

Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!9 -
That sounds as if you are in a great place, I am very pleased for you and most of the time I am in the same place.foxgloves said:Thanks so much all of you. I am having a lovely day.

Sorry I'm late. Happy Birthday @foxgloves. Hope you've had a fab day my dear. Well we've been busy this week, some of our Mandatory training was out of date. Online training done for First aid. Safeguarding Adult level 2 and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguard. All passed. Just got Administering Medicine to do tomorrow and all done!! Wet and miserable here today. We have 2 weeks respite in June. We are going to sit and make a list of decorating etc needs doing in the house and get the jobs done. It is mainly painting and finish off jobs that got left as hubby went on to do another job!!. Carpet needed in our room and to get it fitted. We need our house ready by mid July to go up for sale. Looks like you have been busy Mrs F? Well we had a week of lovely sunny weather then we get rain today, we got spoilt didn't we lol. Greenhouse is looking good with all my Fuchsias coming on nicely and the trailing Geraniums. Trailing Lobelia, busy Lizzys and Petunias are looking good. My sweet peas have not popped up yet?! Our male Saluki dog keeps peeing on the plants. Neighbours are probably fed up of me saying 'Harry stop peeing on my plants' lol. Right time for a read of my book. Night all. Keep Safe XMortgage free September 2021. Narrowboat brought October 2021
Emergency fund £7500
Christmas fund £14307
