  • Morning ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) if you need one.

    Gers........Happy birthday, I hope you have a lovely day, save me a drop of champers, pretty please................

    Another lovely morning, bed linen dried on the line yesterday, hope the same for today, have a coloured load in and then OH's track suit and a fleece of mine.

    As expected the X Ray of OH's neck showed deterioration of his cervical spine. He is now going to have an MRI scan to see of there is nerve damage.

    I had the last lot of eye medication last night, for some reason I found it a bit trying, I do not remember the stinging last time, but then it is 5 years ago since my left eye was done.

    OH has been on the phone to the gardener, the grass is in need of a cut, it did not get done at the end of last year, the weather changed and it was too wet.

    I got a pack of lean stewing steak reduced to £1 from Morrison yesterday, so need to cook that. The store cupboard is well stacked with tins and packets. I need to get a few things from Aldi each week now.
    Things like cream crackers, ryevita etc.

    Post office calls I need to get some 2nd class stamps before they go up. The cost of posting a letter is diabolical now 61p for a second class. I wonder if eventually email will take the place of letters.

  • Morning all. Happy Bithday Gers. Organza we like ham and pea gnocci gratin. Google it and it is a Sainsbugs recipe. You will need a bit of creme fraiche.


    Bright and cold today. The bedding is on the line. We are going to the Mall at Cribb's Causeway in a bit to pick up a pair of slippers OH ordered last week. They only had one pair in stock and he likes io buy two pairs at a time.

    Hugs to poorlies and worried. Have a good day folks.

    It's another sunshiny day :j.
    I have woken up this morning with a humdinger of a headache and then a nose bleed. Good start to the day :eek:.
    Yesterday was a weird day as I found the rings and hooks for the voiles, then realised I didn't need them as they had a sleeve to put the rod through :doh:. Up they went and down they came as I didn't like them back up !
    I found the missing remote part on the bedroom floor but by then we'd sourced a replacement and ordered it. Mr Fix It cleaned the inside of the old one, put in the missing part and hey presto ! We will now have 2 working remotes........ what's the betting that the TV will go bang first :rotfl:.
    I had to strip the bed yesterday too, as I found lots of little bits of plastic in there from where Mr Fix It opened the remote. I'd only changed it last Thursday :mad:
    Mr Fix It has taken DD and her family to the train station as they are going to Londinium for a couple of days. They have tickets for Mamma Mia and will also visit one of the museums. ( I've forgotten which one :o )
    I have one load for the WM and then I want to hoover through downstairs and up the stairs, but only if I can get rid of this headache :(. If not, it's a day lying on the sofa.
    Nelski It's ladies first on the charra as always. Hope today goes as well as can be expected :(. Sending you lots of mental strength :eek:. I have to ring Dad tonight ...... oh joy, I hope he's in a better mood !
    Gers Happy Birthday. Here's more cake :bdaycake: Enjoy your special day !!
    Right I'm off to source some heavy duty painkillers as the OTC are not doing much good. Sorry for waffling :o.
    Have a good day all

    Well as expected -bog all done. Turned up looking like death and cried off:mad: To top it all his van was broken into and his mobile nicked so he couldn't ring me to say. Another wasted morning , and a waste of bute for Scoobymare:mad: Mind you she trotted up the field like a good un when I got them in ready for the visit.
    Next attempt will be tomorrow:rotfl:
