Sending you hugs Round that it works well for you.

Valli

Round - ditto the above comments; hope it's not too long a wait for the surgery. Get signed off work if you don't feel up to it - don't be a martyr!

been swimming; did 20 lengths. Washed swimming stuff and WUALTD

More hugs Round and hope it is all over soon.

Hugs also to the Ionafan family.

Pleasant evening yesterday with our friend A and another local friend; A stayed overnight and Mr N rode part way back to Somerset with him for motorbike exercise. Cake and dinner enjoyed by all and enough dinner so all I had to do this evening was cook some rice.

Aqua zumba this morning.

Drumming lesson this afternoon.

Mr T walked through on the way back from drumming, a few yellow stickered items bought.

Greenhouse checked and watered.

A few bits chipped off my long admin/IT list done.

Mr N has booked an EoN engineer to come and see whether the system has updated enough for us to have a Smartmeter (weak signal in the area for ages but this may have changed) and queried the possibilites of an EV, so that is another tick on the 'car plan' list.

A couple of local tyre suppliers checked online for prices (eek) as mine needs 2 in the next few months and as we're going to Dorset next weekend then on hols to Northumberland later this month, it might be wise to get them done.

Now knitting the front of the baby hoodie.

Good decision, round - and please do as Valli says if you're feeling wobbly xx

DH came home by hospital taxi late this afternoon, bringing a large bag of washing and another of meds. He could open a pharmacy with the contents of his cupboard. Rosie walked straight past DH to make sure that the taxi had gone 🙄

I cleared a bit more admin this morning and hope to declutter the rest of my list tomorrow. I also went to physio this afternoon and have got some exercises to do 3x daily to improve the muscle tone round my knee (I wonder how long I will be able to keep that up for!

Valli

am halfway round the bedroom (cleaning it) and the mattress protector is dry and back on the bed. Need to iron a sheet and a pillow case and then make the bed and do the last bit of dusting and the vacuum the floor. Window frame has had particular attention with a dry, old toothbrush in some dusty crevices. I also cleaned the strip on the bottom of the shower screen and that's been drying outside. I've also vacuumed the stairs - up with the little revolving head than back down with the crevice tool.

Bolognaise sauce is gently simmering on the hob for our tea.

Been to out moving cancer (a fitness class). I'll sleep tonight.

Good morning all xx

How are we today?

I'm out of my routine again. Not following my Saturdailies list as I was later up than I intended. I've been to feed DB's cats, had a chat with a NN, and been to visit Pops - one of my aunts arrived as I did so it was lovely to catch up with her too.

I have made my bed and opened windows upstairs to let some fresh air in.

I'm invited for tea at DS and DDil's new house this evening. I'll feed the cats again before I go.

I think I will flutter this afternoon. Might cross a few things off the Saturdailies list we'll see.

Have a good day.

Morning all, I've just realised I've been posting on the wrong thread all this week

My list for today

• Feed the animals and walk the dog
• Sort planning on the software, ready for next week
• Put laundry into TD
• Deal with Mr T delivery
• Defrost the freezer
• Make a new budget for the next 12 months
• Make DD's bed as stripped it yesterday
• HHI
• Feed the animals and walk the dog
• Take DD up to the stables so she can feed her ponies

I think that is everything that I need to tackle today. I hope everyone has a lovely Saturday.

Afternoon all. Those Saturdailies can wait Round, much better to have some chatting and visiting.

One washload done and dried by midday out in the sun. Perfect. Tooks DD2's dog for an hour's walk this morning and then did a bit in her garden. Tried sitting out in my garden this afternoon but it was a bit noisy so I've come in here instead.

Hope everyone's OK x

Hi all

Glad you have got a plan and dates Round x

Busy day helping DS1 and GF move, so Flying was mostly at their old house and then their new little cottage. We are back tomorrow for day two. What else? Paid stuff has been rubbish, and the fireplace people are in on Monday to start fitting our new woodburning stove. I then have a tricky meeting on Monday evening. Lots going on.

Hope Saturday has been kind to you all xx
