nmlc

Morning 

Hugs to those that want/need them, those who are poorly and those who are looking after a poorly person x

Happy birthday to those with a birthday x  

Dark, dry and breezy start to the day.  If it seems ok before I go to work, I'll put the towels out to dry.

DH and DS1 getting ready for work, I'm showered, dressed and  enjoying my first cuppa and my porridge whilst on here.  DS2 settled and happy. 

:Lunch yesterday was roast pork, very delicious and enough left for another meal, we'll have that tonight with some frozen roast potatoes I found in the freezer and some added veg and gravy.

Back to work today last week I had work men banging and crash whilst I was trying to work - hopefully all that sort of work has now been finished - we'll see!

Keep safe and well x

Morning folk - thanks for starting us off nmlc. 

Yesterday the rain poured down for most of the day. I only went out for milk and biscuits then did the almost final bits of clearing out my bedroom. The upstairs hall and bathroom are now cluttered up with it all. 

The decorators are arriving at about 8.30am so I can't linger too much longer in bed. Once they're all organised here and I've shown them the kitchen stuff I'll head off to Glasgow. 

I hope that everyone is doing well. Happy Monday to all.

Good morning, thanks for starting NMLC.

It's dry here at the moment but it rained hard last night, the forecast says it's going to cool down this week. This year has absolutely flown over, where does the time go!

We visited a couple of elderly friends yesterday morning, and that was all we did really, apart from the usual household jobs..  There's ironing to do today - what an exciting life I lead!!

Hope everyone has a good day, take care folks.

Morning folks and thanks NMLC.  Hope you have a quieter week and the noise makers have finished. 

The sun is trying to get out but not forecast to last as cloud is going to take over.  I could do with cutting back some plants whilst it's fine but that's easier said than done these days. 

It's a day at home until late afternoon when I have the pleasure of adding to the vet's retirement fund!  That'll be another £70 or so for a 5 minute (at most) appointment and the usual injection. I hope they haven't joined the rest of the country and put their prices up as well!! Fingers crossed Sparkle co-operates and I can get her into her carrier to even get her there in the first place!

After my batch cook on Saturday there is stuff rammed all over in the big freezer so today I must take the drawers out and re-organise it. I am trying my best to run stocks down in the small freezer so that I can get everything in just the big freezer but, so far, I am fighting a losing battle! 

Have a good day folks if you can and ((HUGS)) for the poorlies or fed up.  RUBY that's a big worry for you. Your DM needs to be firmer but I know it's difficult as far as her DGC are concerned.  GERS have a good trip to Glasgow.  B & G hope the wedding w/e went well. Take care all and be safe xx

Morning all, your pork sounds delicious nmlc, thanks for starting.

The weather looks a bit mixed,rained hard last night and it's quite breezy. DH lit the log burner for the 1st time this autumn. Prob need to order more logs soon.

Scarlet, a lot of our days seem to be pottering along days but you're right , this year has flown.

Gers, I find when I tidy one room, it always seems to impact another

We've been busy this weekend as it's DGD 11 birthday ( ) Did her pressies Friday, yesterday went to watch her play football, & she won player of the match so she was delighted with that, especially as her DM and partner came to watch too, they can't often make it.

DH surprised me on Sat. as he offered to cook, so we had a greek meze type of meal, all delicious! Last night we had beef stroganoff for a change.

Lazy dog is still asleep so no walk yet , not that we go far these days!

Nice to see you Poppy  

Take care all x

Morning all

Raining here but meant to brighten up later on, I have two clients coming today, thats if one of them turns up, she has supposed to have been here for the last two Mondays and not come, she has had appointments but I am begining to suspect that she is having cold feet !

Thanks for the comments re nephew, he is sill there but I have decided that there is nothing much I can do, mum seems happy to have him there so unless she asks for help then I just have to let her get on with it 

If it brightens up later on I will take my ladies out for a ride along the beach with a little walk, neither of them can walk very far, we could collect a few stones and come home and paint them, we will have a coffee while we are out, then come home and make a cake, maybe coffee and walnut.

I cooked a gammon joint yesterday so we will have that for dinner with mash and peas. I have put a wash on this morning which will have to go on the airer.

Have good days all and take care xxx

Morning all I'm back! We had a lovely holiday and the weather was kind but the journey home was a nightmare with a flat tyre on the caravan on the M5, luckily we managed to pull off at a near junction to wait for help. Mr Fix It would normally have changed the wheel himself but since his cancer treatment he was unable to even lift the wheel. An hour later we were back on the road but then later found the car radiator had sprung a small leak and the van battery wouldn't power the motor mover to put the van away. What a day! 
Yesterday I did some unpacking and put 2 loads in the wm but had to dry some of it indoors overnight. Today will be the same although we are due showers so I may be doing the hokey cokey with the washing. Sorry I haven't been able to keep up with any news but I hope everyone is well. Hugs coming your way if not.
Take care all

Morning all; cold but sunny here.

Thank you for all the good wishes re the wedding. It all went off wonderfully well and we had a glorious weekend. Everyone had made such an effort and looked stunning; so many happy faces everywhere.  We had close family and friends round in the garden on Sunday and that rounded off the weekend really nicely. I now have the happy problem of lots of leftover food from yesterday in the fridge so I think I'll buy some salad stuff today and start eating up the leftovers. The bride and groom cut the wedding cake again yesterday so we didn't touch the coffee and walnut cupcakes or the biscoff brownies I'd ordered in. They will have to be eaten another day.

Back to washing and ironing this morning then I have my Covid booster at lunchtime. 

Better get a move on. Have a good day everyone.

Glad all went well & you had a lovely day Black&Gold . Congrats to the happy couple x
