Good afternoon
Sunshine but windy here today. Woke st 5 this morning as I finished nights yesterday morning and slept for several hours then went to bed and slept again till 5.
2 loads is washing pegged out. Dog walked met lots of her doggy friends this morning. She has a good run & play.Took Ds2 to physio this morning, they seemed pleased with his progress. He has been given more exercises to try and build the muscle in his leg. He also got a letter confirming the PIP will be backdated to 3 months after his accident which means they upheld the complaint.
House move seems to be going forward ok, so fingers crossed we can exchange soon. Still trying to sort things out for moving but it’s slow going especially as I’ve worked 60 hours over 5 days/nights.Dinner tonight is Pork Stir fry with noodles.Enjoy the rest of your day. Must get moving as need to shop today as my car needs to be looked at over the weekend as not running right again.5 -
Topsy-turvy, that's good news about your son's PIP.
Allie, I've counted at local, general & European elections in the past, one year we had Annabel Tiffin from BBC NW haunting us as our seat was a marginal one.2021 Decluttering Awards: ⭐⭐🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 2022 Decluttering Awards: 🥇

Hi everyone,
I'm sitting in the car with a sleeping Nate. Hopefully he'll stay asleep long enough for me to finish.
I finally did the ironing I mentioned days ago and cleaned the plugholes in the bathrooms upstairs, bluergh.
It's sunny here today although quite windy, at least we could go out to the playground this morning.
Better go, he's stirring.
Have a good day.6 -
Afternoon all and thanks for the start @Gers – sorry about your weather. We have blue skies here and a nice breeze. I got some washing on the line before I left this morning – nowt like line-dried washing!
Great news about DS’s PIP and that the physio is pleased with his progress @topsyturphyx
What a palaver at your lunch yesterday @TravellingAbuela – glad you got to eat and chat! x
I ran home from work yesterday so another 5k under my belt. It really does lift my spirits. I attended a WI Committee meeting after work and am helping to organise some Autumn visits and the Christmas meal. I may not be around to attend if we move, but heyho!
Someone made an offer on our house which was a little low for us to proceed. They are coming back for a second look on Saturday. Two other enquiries, one also booked in for Saturday.
I scored a Lidl £1.50 fruit and veg box today – a punnet of red seedless grapes, a yellow pepper, 3 bananas, 2 pink lady apples, a yellow pepper, a bunch of celery, an aubergine and 2 cos lettuces. Happy with that!
Hope you enjoyed the walking group @silver-oldie – and that the weather was kind to you all x
Hope you feel rested @Florenceem – you do so much for others x
Will vote on the way home and also do a proxy for DDad who has lived abroad for 21 years! Yes….really! (insert eyeroll here!)
