I gutted my wardrobe a few days ago. I might not have many clothes now but ive got plenty of space in my side of the wardrobe.:T



ps. i think i went a bit overboard.

well i was thinking that too but actually I really hadnt worn any of them for a long time ....if i miss anything i can re buy but i know i wont so I am living with it. I love the space and be able to see what i have...like i have found 3 pairs of work shoes ...labels on ....stuck under a pile of flip flops :rotfl:

Holly, just to let you know I am thinking of you. It is such a worrying time for you, the fact you have to hand over so much of your life to the medics is really hard.

Dumpling such a difficult time for you all, please ask for help for yourself.

Delivered local cards today, made me realise the pneumonia has affected me, fell asleep when I got back.

Afternoon all
Had a lovely surprise at church last night.I got presented with a huge bag full of Xmas gifts.Some of the girls had nominated me for it, in the Xmas gift giving thing, cos they know I've been having a tough time lately I was so moved that I cried
Am at the docs later, for a review of my new anti anxiety meds, but also have swollen neck glands n a wheezy chest , so might need anti biotics
DUMPLING I'm so sorry about all that's going on for you hun :(Let's hope 2019 is a better year :A

Shows how loved you are.

I'm considering going to the Carol service at the chapel where i went to Sunday school and got married on Sunday. I say considering.... i vowed i'd never set foot in a church again after i left the church i had been going to for many years.

A backslidden Christian i maybe but still appreciate the teachings of the bible and songs of praise.

We will see.

I was exactly the same hun, then went on a course at this church, met some amazing people, n joined it.It's very modern, n progressive, with lively worship songs.The people aren't at all pious or typical "God botherers" , n the sense of community is amazing.Even better, there's a lovely coffee shop attached to it :rotfl:

Good afternoon from a chilly but bright Isle of Dogs at least it has stopped raining:T

bellabella, thanks for starting us off :T sorry about your mum but probably nice to see your family
camelot, very jealous but then again I have been very lazy :rotfl: & it would appear that the ‘Cleaning Fairy’ has deserted me :rotfl:
tru, I am still managing to sing along :T & to the correct tunes I believe :rotfl: Shows what a good job you have done with Scamp - all the love & care you have devoted to Scamp is paying dividends :T shame other family members are so ‘forgetful’ :mad:
Gers, I hope you feel refreshed & I too love your Christmas ‘tree’
nmlc, serendipity strikes again Hope the boiler service goes well. I had my boiler put in, in July several years ago - so I have my annual service in July each year one less thing to worry about in the colder months
dumpling, sorry to hear about Jemima but it sounds like a ‘calm, thoughtful decision’. Hopefully the rest of the family woes are ‘the storm Before the calm’
TA, sorry it was only a flying visit from Mr Sandman I too dislike clothes shopping, well that is a bit of a fib - I dislike ANY type of shopping :rotfl:
Organza_Lace, reminds me I need to phone my bank & sort out a few transfers to nephews :T All 3 of us actually like XMas pudding but always eat too late & too much to have on Christmas Day :rotfl:
Nelski, belated Birthday Wishes but no cake as you will go bang :rotfl: You sound like you are really looking forward to your holiday Sounds like you Kondoed :T
redruby, we had cottage pie last night & as my DSis enjoyed it so much she is having the last portion tonight. My fridge is currently reasonably empty ready for all the fresh veg
csarina, enjoy the roast dinner
Speky, sounds like date night was very pleasant & at least you have another friend. Forgive me for saying so (& feel free to completely ignore me ) but I get the impression that you are not really looking for a girlfriend at the moment but would like to have friends who are girls. Hope you remember what you are having for dinner :rotfl:
ancientofdays, I like ginger nut biscuits & I like chocolate - but not together Seems like the Sandman has been a bit remiss in his duties
snoozer, I still send Christmas cards to a couple of ex colleagues who have advised that I wouldn’t know more than about 3 people on my old department - so no visits from me
WeeMidgie, Hope your appetite returns in time for Christmas Baby photos - how lovely.
JackieO, well brought up daughters :T & must be nice to have DGS Jack around
Bozwood, surely you should be using the hammock now :rotfl:
poppy, hope the antibiotics are kicking in & that you are feeling better
candygirl, what a lovely thing to happen & I agree with O_L it shows you are loved

This year I hand delivered Christmas cards to all my neighbours in the close - known & unknown . Lovely surprises so far - chocolate filled mini donuts from one & hm Swedish buns (rather like Brioche) from another :T DH & DSis were rather disappointed when we ONLY got a card from one neighbour :rotfl:
Being extremely lazy whilst DH is laying new bathroom floor tiles :T Have been eating from freezer recently - lunch today was hm soup for me whilst DH & DSis had lo onion pasta.

Healing (((HUGS))) to all who need them BT especially Holly, poppy & -taff

Hello all, apologies for the late post.
I had another bad night and it didn't help that Mr Fix It was doing his best Darth Vader impersonation either . I tried to decamp to the new bed, but I could still hear him ..... and I was on the other side of the house :eek:. I think I had about 2hrs sleep all together, so methinks an earlyish night is on the cards.
We had a lovely time at DGS party yesterday and we were made very welcome, but as usual we didn't win a sausage in the raffle. There was enough food brought in to feed an army, but the children were like a swarm of locusts and left slim pickings for the adults ( however there were plenty of turkey and HM stuffing rolls left though :j. ) Santa arrived and brought every football team member a beanie hat and a hoody with their initials and the team logo on them. DGS also received a selection box which he gave straight to his sister !
This morning we went back to the chemist to collect the missing meds, then on into town where we split up to buy each other some Xmas pressies. I really had no idea what to buy, but anyway I managed to get a few bits and bobs for Mr Fix It to open on Christmas morning.
As if I haven't got enough to do, this afternoon we decided to recover the dining room chairs and it took us most of the afternoon :eek: Guess who's brilliant idea that was ? ....... just follow my eyes :rotfl:.
Tea tonight was sweet and sour turkey with rice, followed by caramel ice cream.
Right I'll stop waffling now, probably bored you all silly anyway .

Sending hugs to all and I hope to be posting earlier tomorrow, fingers crossed.
Take care of yourselves
nan xx

Evening all
Thanks for the thread Bella and hugs to those in need.
Had a busy day here, CHS has a dodgy ankle now on top of everything else and my coal delivery was cancelled.
Still the good news is I have received a full asking price offer on my house, fingers crossed it goes through.

Hugs Hester
