    Broke my letter p on my laptop! It'll need to go for repair.

    I’ve ordered six tons of bark for the front garden, it’ll be coming next week. More progress.

    Typing on my phone is challenging. :D

    Hello everybody,

    Just lost a long post, have been missing for a few days, OH has been unwell for the last week, finally diagnosed as shingles (for the second time, it could only be him!) Hopefully he will cheer up a bit as the meds take effect.

    Hugs to all suffering in any way.

    Happy holidays to the travellers.

    Evening all,
    Well what a day we've had ! Mr Fix It noticed that the tyre valves on the car were splitting so took it to the garage first thing. Long story short we needed 4 new tyres :(. As they were not in stock they had to be ordered and we had to wait till 4pm, all done now and £ 240 lighter :eek:. Good start to our hols !
    Anyway we went over the van and cleaned it, phew it certainly was very hot ! Then called in to Al*is where we met Dad who had been to the local hospital for a chest Xray. He should have gone last week but " couldn't be bothered". So we helped him with his shopping too, then dumped ours and set off to the garage. Got home about 5.30.
    All packing done, tea eaten and I'm now waiting for Mr Fix It to finish in the shower. All I have to do is put the DW on then I'm done.
    I shall be incommunicado until the 25th as the site doesn't have wifi. Maybe a good thing as I sem to be on the computer a lot lately, so I have packed 3 books for starters :D.
    Hope the TA's are well.
    Righty ho it's my turn for the shower. so I shall love you and leave you. Sending healing thoughts to all the poorlies and I've let the Sandman loose for the sleepless. Hugs to anyone who wants or needs any.
    Take care all. See you soon.
    Lots of love
    nan xx
    Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, but this time more intelligently
