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  

Still dark, cold start to the day, think there may be a frost.  Hoping for a dry bright day, we'll see.

Lunch yesterday was roast chicken, nice it was too.  Not sure what we'll be having for dinner tonight, will sort something.

Back to work this morning.

Keep safe and well x

Morning All

Cold and frosty this morning but not as bad as yesterday, the fog hardly lifted and it stayed at a minus temperature all day. I walked for my shopping but it was a bad idea, the pavements were really icy and I spent the whole time holding on to fences and railings like an old biddy!

Finished knitting the cardigan but now for the difficult bit - putting it all together. My knitting isn't very good but my sewing up is worse - never know which bit to sew!

Back to work for me today and I'm expecting a really busy day as my Colleague is still off and there are bound to be some dramas unfold from the holidays.

Sorry to hear that some of you are still poorly but pleased that some of you are on the mend. Take it easy.

Have a happy Monday, take care. XX

Good morning all
Thanks for the start nmlc

Not much to say. Won't be going out as it's so cold ❄️ with strong winds.

Lots of jobs to do but not sure how much will actually get done. Might make some soup.

Take care

This morning is only 0°, a bit better than yesterday 😀 I spent most of the day slobbing and coughing though not too much of the coughing, thank goodness. I ate up some sad looking vegetables with my lunch and watched a lot of TV. 

Today I will go out. My cleaner is coming and I need fresh veggies and milk. I toyed with the idea of going to the exercise class again now that the new diversion is open but feel I should wait until after the ABs are finished on Friday, so more slobbing / getting better here. 🤧 

Keep warm Silver. 

I hope it's not too bad for you at work Camelot. 

I keep thinking about Scarlet basking in the Aussie heat. 🌞

Im sending healing vibes to all those still afflicted with this dreadful lurgy, I hope everyone feels better soon.

I have another day before I’m back at my part time job so will try and catch up with all the things I didn’t do yesterday! 

Have a friend popping for coffee this morning too.  Will also need to make sure I get lunch etc sorted for tomorrow. 

This afternoon will likely see me practicing cutting pieces of wood with my mitre-saw, will eventually (when I have the hang of it) be new items I’m making for my craft business.  

Stay warm all - it’s definitely colder!

Morning all

Brrrr very cold here this morning I have put the heating on for a few hours to warm the house through, I had a bad night last night I spent the night vomiting 🤢 after eating the pork I cooked for dinner, this has happened to me the last few times I have eaten pork so something is not agreeing with me, it was not off as dd and OH had the same and were fine, it’s a shame as I love pork but will avoid it in future.

Two people coming today and we are going to meet up with some friends at bowling and then have a picnic lunch somewhere, it might have to be a car picnic as it’s so cold, they are saying we might get some snow later, I do hope so I love snow.

Dinner tonight is the leftover roast from yesterday I won’t have the meat just potatoes and veg for me, house is fairly tidy I just need to hoover through before people come.

Glad the poorly folk are on the mend xx

Taff I hope OH poor toes are ok xxx

Have good days all and take care xx

Morning everyone it’s another chilly one but no ice thankfully I feel like I never have the washer off changed the bed on Saturday and the dog had blood on the pillow and duvet cover so it was to change again the worst part was she got blood on a fabric headboard I can’t get it off so I have have now but some vanish carpet cleaner on see what that does I didn’t see it until I went to make the bed back up she’s at the vet today I think she’s losing another tooth bless her she hasn’t got that many left . I’m going to meet my friend for a coffee and a catch up before work but before that I’m going to cheer you all up with a good laugh my youngest son and his wife and some of there friends have signed me up for a park run with them all starting Saturday no I can’t run unless you count me as doing impressions of the bionic man when he moves in slow motion apparently everyone has to start somewhere and you don’t have to run you can walk and just remember mam someone has to be last now that fills me full of hope obviously that’s going to be me to be honest up to now I’m looking forward to it ask me again on Saturday but it will be good fun I’m sure and Usain Bolt has nothing to fear so if you don’t hear from me again after the weekend you know I’ve croaked it . Keep warm everyone I’m pleased to hear a few of you with coughs and colds are starting to feel better . Thinking of all the poorlies hugs to those that need them have a good day everyone whatever you are doing

Morning all, it's a balmy 1 degree here, no frost on the ground today.

Glad some of you are feeling a bit better but shame about the pork RR.

Nothing much on the agenda today really. DGC both back at school.

I do want to have a bit of a post Xmas clean up as I want to arrange a day for my cousin and 2nd cousin to come for lunch to do some delving into our family tree, it's been on hold for ages, and I have quite a to do list as well.

@dp1 if you want to use up your swede in soup there is a nice recipe - I've made it a few times and really enjoyed it, if you google aldi spiced swede soup.

Izzy, poor dog and her teeth and Taff OH toes.

 I think we are having burgers for tea apart from DH who isn't keen, he says he'll have egg on toast or something.

Right time for a coffee before I start the chores, take care all x

Morning folks. Another cold one but no frost. 

Like SO I haven't much to say. Going nowhere and nothing worth mentioning. Roll on Spring, I get to hate winter more the older I get. I need to go out to both wheelies this morning so hoping the steps are not slippy!  I keep a big bag for recycling at the top of the garage steps and once full I take it out to the wheelie. I think it was full last Wednesday so it's needs must as it's now overflowing! 

No cooking to do. I made soup yesterday so that and a bagel is my lunch. Dinner is the l/o veg and beef from yesterday just to warm up. I unearthed my Mindfulness book yesterday so might have another go at digesting the contents!

Have a good day folks if you can and ((HUGS)) for our poorlies, getting better, sad and lonely. Take care and keep warm xx

Good morning everyone. Cold here but it's preferable to the rain. Another one with not much to report. I need to venture out to the building society today to sort out a letter I received on Saturday. Possibly a quick look round the shops although nothing really needed, it fills the day.
Hope the poorlies are improving and those with worries can find strength.
Take care xx

Morning all. it was still dark when I got up at 7.30am this morning; roll on Spring.

Today is Mr WL's birthday and we're going out to lunch in Stony Stratford. DD is still on Maternity Leave so she and the baby will be able to join us and DS is also free, so will drive up from London. I've only had a small piece of toast and honey for breakfast so I can enjoy my lunch. 

Other than that my only plan for the day is to come home and eat birthday cake!

Our next door neighbour popped round yesterday and fixed the printer problem; apparently it needed reconnecting somewhere along the line but it's now working fine. I then made him some ginger biscuits, which DH took round as a thank you. 

Happy Monday everyone.
