spoke too soon! Visit from son has been cancelled as my little granddaughter is very poorly so not able to go to nursery. Mummy is at work so Daddy is on cuddle duty. He was very apologetic but mentioned that he has a week off soon so hopefully can help me then.

Morning! I'm turning into a right lazy herb, didn't get up until nine this morning. Went to downstairs toilet to perform ablutions and put my eyes in and heard a familiar noise that sends fear into the heart of any pet owner...Yep, the sound of vomiting...The bloody back door was open, she couldn't make it two foot outside? So that was cleaned up. At least it was on tile...Just had first cup of tea,more to come and several messages from sister,cousin and estate agent. I was supposed to be coffee'ing [I will make up new verbs as and when] with friends tonight but one has a cough so is off for a PCR test and coffee is cancelled...Shame as I have bottles of gin I'm donating to the both, I just don't drink very much these days.OH has helped to remove dresser from car and it is now in the garage awaiting a sanding. Garden is also awaiting a tidy and grass to be mown. Today I have all day with no appointments thank god...I have a friend who never answered the door or her phone if she didn't feel like it, no matter who it was. I feel like that today. I've been stabbed in the face with electrolysis gubbins, very painful round the eyes, not painful at all on the nose, so everything is scabby now and I await the new skin going from ugly duckling to normal...hopefully.Gers, no rush to get on and do things is there? Take some time. Ruby, now that sounds painful....And congrats on the loss! TA, sounds like it was fun and very bargainous
snoozer, that's susually my trick, can't find something? Buy something new
WL, that sounds like fun, so at the spa we could also have some music...:) dp1,ooo,that sounds like it's going to be a nice time away. Hope you're all doing slightly OK or good or fantabulous! Sunny cheery thoughts to you all...

Morning just DH and DS are home so that put paid to a quiet day just getting on
Dog walked tip run done and a tidy up of sorts i have a meeting in a bit with the bank re some investments we will see what they say but i need to use my ISA tax free allowance .
Ruby like you we are booking a holiday this weekend to go in 3 weeks time its a choice between Rhodes and Morocco we will book with TUI as the test costings dont make it worth finding a cheap deal DD2 is off to Antigua on Saturday so we have her dog her testing for the 2 of them was eye watering so TUI's £20 ones seem like a good deal
Right better go and set up for this zoom call
Have a great day xxSlava Ukraini12 -
