redruby - thinking of you.
nelski - hope you enjoy your outing
hugs to anyone that wants/needs one. Take care14 -
RR had to come back and say you are a very brave lady, but I understand where you are coming from, I do not know if I would be so brave if I was put in a similar position. Have a gentle hug.14

Echo csarina post very brave x xxI must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.14 -
Morning Everyone,
Very Sunny , but very cold also. Have hung out a load of washing on the line.
Shopping after work this afternoon
Then some some housework before tea

Rubes .....hats off to you my love very big decision ...the right one in my very humble opinion.... if not a devil and the deep blue sea decision..... Im sure the threat of it coming back would be worse but fact remains you are one strong lady xxxxx

Back from the expedition alive and in one piece. Had a wander round albeit totally reliant on the trolley and spent just enough to fill one carrier bag (couldn't carry any more
) Got some YS mozzarella for 25p and a sloppy Giuseppe pizza .....did see some nice George stuff so may need to hit the website later

Redruby, I think you're being very wise. A hard decision but I'm sure you won't regret it.
I want to go out to Dunelm but am waiting for a delivery, what do you bet it doesn't arrive until too late to go. Steve's finished the bedroom so we need to find curtains and a lampshade, also a solution to a couple of things. I have two bins atm, one for recycling but it's not very attractive. The other problem is a bit more out there - I want some sort of laundry bin for my bras, I don't put them in the main bin in case they get put in the machine by mistake bu I only wash them when the pile reaches three (they are not small items I'm afraid). Any bright ideas are most welcome. As I type I've just had an idea, maybe a fabric bag on a hanger (I seem to remember people used to put pegs in similar things).
Laura whatsapped to say she'd had a terrible night, she's trying to bring Esben's bedtime forward and seems to have disrupted his napping so he woke every couple of hours last night.

Afternoon all.I was out "n" about early this morning ( well early for me ) as we had to go to Mr Fix It's surgery to collect his script then take it to the pharmacy to be filled. We called in at the van next for a check round, all ok there. Lastly we went to Al*is for milk bread, a lemonade top up and more stuff for my store cupboard at the request of himself. Like Csarina we too are worried about this virus and even Mr Fix It. He never used to worry much but he wanted us to be able to self isolate if need be. (He has a weak immune system due to all his health problems ) There were a few things missing like bread flour in Al*is, so I will go to Tes*o tomorrow after my early GP appointment. This afternoon I will play around with the shopping and try to find spaces for all of it ! It will all be used at some point during the year anyway. I will also strip the chicken carcass and put the bins out ready for tomorrow.We had pancakes yesterday and Dad loved them, he had 5
good job I made double the mixture, but Mr Fix It said they were not the same with sweeteners. I gave Dad the recipe because he couldn't remember it and there is also some mix left over so we will have that for pudding with ice cream. Probably have something with oven chips first, an easy tea.Nelski well done on the trip out. I hope you didn't use the trolley as a skate board
Just because they did it on Dancing on Ice isn't an excuse !Gers good luck with the builders, sounds like you have everything well planned out.TopsyT happy birthday to your DH, I hope he has a great day.RedRuby Oh my what a decision, you were on the horns of a dilemma. You are one courageous lady. Lots of love and hugs winging their way to you.Dumpling I hope you are okRighty ho I'm off to play shop
People probably think we're a little bonkers. Ok a lot bonkers !!Take care all, hugs to those that are in need. Healing vibes to the poorly ones.nan xxFailure is simply the opportunity to begin again, but this time more intelligently12 -
Afternoon all! Have been playing Hearthstone today and gone shopping to the the bit T to get a couple of presents [friends birthday tomorrow so he's got some victuals he'll like] come back, had breakfast and now comtemplating replanting some roses out the front and fleecing up the calla lilies before they get too frosted. If it snows they won't be happy and neither will I.Got chicken to use in the fridge, am thinking of making a stew [ really enjoyed last weeks] and fajitas for OH who really likes those. There's enough chicken for both and any leftovers can be frozen if they haven't been used by Wednesday.I also managed to deeply slice my finger open yesterday, lots of blood, again, with the very sharp knives I bought form Lidls. You'd think I'd have learned by now wouldn't you? But no, still clumsy....Been watching Altered Carbon again and am somehwat confused because if they're going to do another series, they've just used a mish mash of the second and third books in this series...but, I suppose I will continuously surprised by the next one because I won't know what it's about at all.One of those little basket things snoozer? with handles?...saw some in the range last week, suedey type things..Nelski, good on you being all peripatetic! Ruby, it sounds like a tough call doesn't it until you realise what the result of both actually means...hope you continue to rally...I've looked at boobless ladies on the net when I was about to have mine and to be honest, they don't look that bad. Personally, I'm not sure I wouln't have preferred them to take my other one off so I wouldn't have to worry about reconstruction. But we are all different.....TA, enjoy your day and new hair! Gers , well forward planned! Nanny, hope you're still sleeping fter yesterday! Hey all reading along, hey Holly....hey SO....Muted Monday...Non me fac calcitrare tuum culi11
