Morning (just) and thanks for the start @Gers x
We got home after midnight last night after watching Avatar 2 (great film albeit loooong). I was up at 4am coughing and it took me until 4.30am to calm it down with a mixture of cough mixture, strepsils, blowing my nose and water. Early night for me I think. I've been to FC and I lost 0.5lb this week.
DSis has told me that Mum wants to breed her dog this summer (aged 81 - Mum, not the dog) so clearly she isn't in need of AA or any additional help from me. Just fuming. I work full time and am fed up of being pulled into helping with things when I needn't bother. Will save myself the stress.
We are off to visit Eltham Palace later with our EH membership. We've never been even though it's only 30 minutes away. DH is currently doing a Repair Shop fix on his bedside lamp that he knocked over when making the bed. It's in lots of pieces and I'm keeping very quiet!
Hugs to the poorlies and have a good day everyone.

Morning all, back from a wet football pitch watching DGS, at least they won. Nice to see the others after the Xmas break. Came home for a warming coffee and will pick DS /DGC up later for the match. Watched some James Martin when we got back, & DH had some bacon but I'll wait a bit longer.Did well at Ald!s yesterday, didn't overspend. DH dropped me & carried on to DBs, and I was nearly at the end and thought to look at my phone, couldn't find it
- it has my payment card in so I had to keep wandering round and looking at the car park. When I spotted him I had to ask an assistant where I could leave my trolley until I could go outside and get my card. Won't be doing that again.

RoSY I'm one of those who resorts to subtitles if all I can hear is a load of muttering and loud background music! X
GERS your breakfast had me salivating too. It sounded so good.x"If you dream alone it will remain just a dream. But if we all dream together it will become reality"8
