TA enjoy your afternoon tea Camelot you have done so well with all that painting I’m not sure I could have faced it scarlet pleased you are feeling a bit better today . I need to go and get hubby’s prescription and I will have a bit of a dust and hoover clean the kitchen floor I may as well be doing my work then I am going to have a sit down and a cuppa. Thinking of all the poorlies hugs to those that need them have a good day everyone whatever you are doing

Morning everyone
Bit dull this morning - hopefully the sun will pop out later. Yesterday afternoon was lovely and sunny - I sat out and read for a bit after work.
I need to go along to Asda for some bits this morning and to post a parcel - I'll walk along then bus back home. Then work at lunchtime - sports day has been re-scheduled for this afternoon so we'll take our children out for the last race - they'll get an ice lolly as a reward.
Lovely news Jackie - I love her name.
Hope everyone has a good day x

The new cleaner has cancelled on me again so I've told her not to bother. I shall draw up a rota for the tasks she would have done, I'm not doing them all myself

Hello all, I wasn't on here yesterday as I didn't feel well. I hadn't slept the night before as I was coughing, sneezing, shivering and had a runny nose, so spent yesterday either in bed or cwtched up on the sofa. Mr Fix It then had the same symptoms later in the day, copycat !
We feel a bit better this morning and we were getting everything to the front of the house ready for a tip trip when the scrappy man passed. He asked if he could have some of the things and then he took half of it (mostly the big stuff 👏) so he saved us making 2 trips, plus he was very polite. We need to break down the old fence panels then hopefully we can get to the tip again, it was quite empty of cars too so it must be a good time to go.
I wanted to mow the lawns today but we've already had a heavy shower so that's not going to happen. I'll do an online shop later as I can't face going in a sm right now, anyway I'm still coughing and sneezing which would not be good in a shop 🤧
London 1 Jackie welcome to the world to your lovely Daisy ! Hope Mum and baby are doing well.
Take care all, hugs to the poorly ones.

Enjoy your afternoon tea out TA, night away Gers. Well done on the door Camelot & weight loss RR.

That's annoying Izzy, and Snoozer.

Good result with the scrapman Nan- I'm going to go in the loft and clear some stuff out hopefully, and put the suitcases DS borrowed back.

Hope the walk goes well Floss

Fab news Jackie. Not too long now. 

I’ve been reading the Peculiar Crimes Unit books by Christopher Fowler and you always flit through my mind. They are set in London, mostly central, and are full of very interesting info about historical places and people - apart from the crimes. If you haven’t read any I’d really recommend them. 

Now I’m in my hotel. Exorbitant price as Motley Cru and Def Leopard are playing at Glasgow Green tonight. Bad planning which will cost my dear nephew a large glass of reviving ‘medicine’ later. 😀

I will check them out on my library ordering service as I can order from the local one and they email you to let you know when its ready for collection

Just had a quick look at the site and the library has lots of his book he sadly only died in March of this year and his Bryant and May books look really interesting thanks for the heads up I like to find new authors to read I haven't tried before
