Kaz.. that is so marvellous.. Please pop me the link too

I'm just.. busy... doing nt very much. I have a poorly elderly senile incontinent cat who won't stop weeing on my hallway mat.. thankfully rubber backed!

I have discovered it is not the new meds making me feel rubbish it is the meds to stop the new meds killing me.. typical!!! Speaking to the docs on Monday if I can summon the energy.

Morning all xx

iona - it is my tree but it hadn't disappeared completely,  the gardening fairy had pruned it right back otherwise it'll get too big for where it's grown itself. It's a buddleia. And tenacious! 

I'm up,  made my bed and had my first brew. So what's the plan today everyone? 

I'm planning on having another brew. 😊

I always cut my buddleia's back every where or they get very tall, lanky, woodey, and awful.

Cats fed, all 5 of them, NND back tomorrow but their daughter's don't seem to know when, so I'll fed as normal, unless their car is on the drive. Just changed the bin next door, but couldn't find replacement bin liners, for love or money, I hate poking around in other peoples kiitchens / utility rooms, so came home and got one of mine to put into the bin, put the large council bin out for tomorrow.

WM x 2 done today, as sun is out and a bit windy.

Who is doing their family tree? I forget, question:- are you using an online programme or just paper to record the information, if it is an online programme which one please? or are you doing something else?   My cousins daughter has shown an interest, I have loads of information gonig back years, it was online (Friends reunted I think) but seems to think this site has shut down. Or anyone else got any recommendations? ty.

Not too sure what else is happening today, walking, weeding, cuddling cats.

Have a good day

The last time that I gave my buddleia its annual severe haircut, I killed it…I thought they were invincible.
I wasn’t in the mood for writing a list to achieve today, so I texted a friend to see if she fancied a walk. 5 miles later, my legs know that they have been for a walk. I’m sure it was all uphill, despite living at the highest point around here.

I ought to go the allotment this afternoon to see if the apples are ready for picking. They are always later than other trees around here, so that people think we aren’t going to pick them. There are probably the final couple of courgettes to add to my collection too. Have located some sloes, as DH wants to make more sloe gin. Not sure that I have the energy to walk back there today to pick them though.
DW to run this afternoon, and some more magic to work with various vegetables. 

Kaz, I think Iona is the family tree expert around here. I used Genes Reunited way back, but you are right - it closed down. I haven’t dusted off my mum’s files since then.

Our buddleia is hacked frequently.. it keeps trying to swallow other plants and I will not allow it. We got it as a root ball.

2x WM

2 loads out on the line

Dw x2 ..

airer cleared

Kitchen sides cleared

OH on with cat trays I feel really ropey today.. my tummy hates the new medication so I really need to sort that tomorrow.. I really need to have the one I have taken for years without any issues. I had plans to get so much stuff dne today and am gradually feeling worse as the day progresses.

Pixie showered.. Twinkle to go in next and Dot and Squeak later.

I think I will go emoty the DW again, hang out the next 2 loads of washing and I want to get the suitcases stuffed in the under stair cupboard.. we are unlikely to need them before next August to they may as well go in there. The highchair can go in the loft until the next round of grandbeasts start arriving.

I may be needing a poorly person nap too. My poor tummy is very unhappy.

Hi all

So DS woke me up when he came in last night, then I heard him being very very sick in the middle of the night (big meal and Crohn's flaring up I guess).  Then he woke me up at 6.30am before he went to work to asking if I wanted a cup of tea.

So a late start but then a lovely lovely walk across the moors.  Came across an old ruined cottage in the middle of nowhere and pondered about what it would be like to just sell everything and move there.  

Fire lit for the first time now, I have a new library book and some home made cheese scones.  If it wasnt Monday tomorrow all would be perfect.

rarely used suitcases moved into understair cupboard.

christmas stuff moved upstairs.

Craft stuff reboxed to fit under bunk beds

DW reloaded

2x washloads hung on airers.

This week I have 15 hours of studying, a secondary school to view, DS1's 31st birthday, a hospital appointment, opticians for Pixie and Tesc0 to visit.. I am exhausted already.

Kaz, I have used this genealogy program for many years.  They offer a free "Essentials" version which I used to find perfectly adequate for my needs.   However, I was afraid they would withdraw it, so I bought one of the full versions as a CD set (or received it as a Christmas present - I can't remember which now - it was many years ago!), but I can't see any great advantages apart from the fact that it offers free upgrades.  I only use the family tree part.  The rest of the stuff on the full downloads is mostly duplicated by other genealogy websites to which I subscribe - however, I wouldn't put my tree on one of those and make it public, and there would always be the chance of losing it if the website closed down.   I have nearly 2,000 individuals on my tree, so that would be a disaster.  HTH.

Today I have 
- FUPA the last of the clean washing
- made a special trip to MrW to buy coffee on offer and with an extra voucher, but they had sold out
- deleted several emails
- had some zzz this afternoon, having been up since 4.30am again 
- walked Rosie
- persuaded DH to clean his decent shoes
- made cakes and iced one for DS2

See you on the new thread xx
