Morning everyone Nanny nice to see you back your poor grandson I bet he felt worse the next day don’t worry about coming on here to moan it sometimes helps to get it off your chest I moan all the time but mainly to myself then again I talk to myself answer myself and argue with myself and I sometimes don’t even win . Another wet dark miserable day but the wind has died down and it’s not as cold as yesterday I work in a huge old building and it’s freezing even in summer we have one small oil filled radiator the bosses wife walked straight in yesterday and turned it off I turned it straight back on she said well I don’t feel cold and it’s all electric and it’s gone up so I just said if you want it turned off I can do that but I will be going home she just walked away it’s so cold you can’t feel your fingers I don’t care now yes I would like to work until the end 108 days now but for my benefit not hers and I know I don’t have to put up with another winter in there . Gers I am struggling to get up I was as warm as toast this morning it was a struggle. I have just finished one of my cleaning jobs I’m having a cuppa before I go to work. TA I hope your DD gets the help she needs my hubby had an accident at work in 2000 which resulted in him been in hospital for 18 months he had back surgery and discs removed it all worked out good in the end it’s a bonus just to be pain free . Thinking of all the poorlies hugs to those that need them have a good day everyone whatever you are doing10

Morning! Raining! Surprise! I think today might be another put the fire on day. The remperature is supposedly above ten but it just feels so much cold...Didn't get round to cake making yesterday, but did get the mixed peel so it can all go ahead today. Did three loads of washing yesterday and yes, the tumble was involved in drying two, the third was bedding so that's draped around the fire. One more today, OH 'found' the clothes he'd been wearing when we went away for the weekend...Car is back, I suspect OH may ask for a lift today thanks to a bit of Debi hanging around. I have no other plans for today but I am beginning to itch when I look in the cutlery drawer. I don't know where all the crumbs and stuff come from or how they get in there....Nanny! Welcome back! Sorry to hear about the health problems, but we are here to listen to moaning, it's allowed! So come back and mona regularly...[actually, why not mona regularly, it doesnt sound as bad as moaning
] And your gs has definitely got the rugby nonchalance towards pain now. Gers, I do like your tooting with each other, how lovely. WL, oh dear, poor OH. TA, poor your DD too! Watch out today, be dry and cosy! Do a Gers [if my bed was more comfortable, I'd be more Gers...]

Afternoon all and thanks for starting @Gers. I too love the daily 'toot' idea.
Welcome back @nannywindow you've been missed x Sorry to hear of your health woes and of course the funeral of your dear niece. Healing vibes to your DGS x
Sorry to hear about DH @WickedLady4 - hope he's doing okay x
Your poor DD @TravellingAbuela - hope she can get some relief from the pain and a longer term solution x
It's absolute stair-rods here. I need to go to the Post Office, but will wait until later for the rain to stop. Have just put the SC on high with a small gammon and a can of Pepsi Max. We will have this with sprouts, carrots and green beans later mmmm. I will give DDad a call later too - they managed to get a cancellation appointment with the oncologist/radiologist.
Nowt much else to report. Winding down at work, mood in the office awful, new SoS for us and some new ministers too, so a lot of report writing happening. Chaos as per.
Have a good day all - keep dry and stay warm if you can!
