Hello all, it's raining again and has been all night and at 4.30am I had to shut the bedroom window as the rain was lashing against it. Think we've gone from spring to autumn in one leap so I hope it perks up a bit as we're away again in September.
I made a chocolate cake yesterday and filled the oven with a hm steak pie, corned beef pasty and 2 large sausage rolls, all of which I found lurking uncooked in the freezer. DGD will arrive later so I have to make up the beds in the spare bedroom today. 
Take care all, hugs to the poorly ones.

Morning all. Weather dull and dismal, but I have things ot be getting on with. I picked up some apples yesterday from a friend so I said I'd make him a crumble so out to pick more balckberries today. I know there are some there because I saw my neighbour with some on Saturday.  I have washing to do today so I'm hoping it will dry in time to take with me tomorrow [ visiting sister in Wales] because I love these dungaress, I wear them almost constantly. They're so comfy. I have gardening plans next week, I've thought of a use for all the stones I have lying around,I'v wanted a plant stand for ages but not prepared ot pay silly money for a metal one so I'll just make steps out of the stones and put them on there instead. It will also help hold up the rickety fence

dp1, seems to be a normal tactic for them, refuse in the hope that most people won't make the effort to appeal. I hope you do. Izzy, glad you had a weekend off for a change! TA, poor sparkle, hope she can be managed with not much fuss. nanny, put my name down for a piece of steak pie! Gers, good to see you carrying on the good fight with water excercising. Happy lunch out. Back to work camelot? NRA, good luck! I thought they al started back in September? Take care all, hope the holidaying are having fun and the poorly get wellerer...

Morning all, absolutely throwing it down here & has been most of the night too. Feel sorry for the children still off school here. DGS is meant to be going camping for a couple of days tomorrow :oDS2 brought both DGC yesterday afternoon, and DGD wanted to pick blackberries from across the road so I provided bowls and took them. Lots are still unripe yet but not a bad haul.

Still a few issues with pooch, 2 sleepless nights so I don't think it's anything she's eaten. Rung the vets and she is leaving some meds,& see how we get on, then blood tests. She's fast asleep now, I could do with joining her.

Had beef stroganoff for tea last night, will probably do salmon tonight. I also need to do my O order TA, I have a midweek smart pass. I like being able to get marks stuff now we haven't got one in town.

Hope the new school term goes well for you Camelot

Fingers crossed/ best wishes for the move NRA.

Think I'll have a quiet day today, reading & crochet sounds good.Take care all x

Afternoon everyone
We had a weather warning for rain but luckily it seems to be wrong as it's quite nice - I might sit outside with yesterday's Sunday Times for a bit.
Painter is busy in the living room now - it's looking really nice. 
Taff - I've just spoken to a lady at Citizens Advice - she advised me to appeal so I have. There were no appointments available for this week but they'll ring back to make one and they'll help me more then.
Little one stayed on Saturday night - her blood sugar alarm went off at 2am then 5am - she woke up and said 'oh look, it's lovely and sunny!'. She did doze for a little while but must of then went into her bedroom - she poked me about 6.30 - to show me she'd been playing with her doctors set and had wrapped herself in bandages like a mummy! So I was a bit sleepy yesterday - we went down to mam and dads and to the park later, then I took her back home and we had a Chinese - very nice it was too.
Hope everyone has a good day today x
