AussieLass

Hello everybody,

Beemuzed So sorry to read about the loss of your mother. I hope the upcoming week isn't too hard for you.
Mrs Mix :wave:

Well to all those workers, it's been a public holiday over here today. Not that it effects me of course, I work every day. Helped DD sort out her boxes in the shed this morning. Probably lost 1 stone in perspiration. :rolleyes: It was like Sauna City in there. Poisoned the yard. DH practically followed me around in case I got too close to his precious vegetables.

After lunch I made a slice, bread & butter cucumbers & went for a walk rather reluctantly with DH as it was still hot. Found a bowen mango tree overhanging. It just so happened 3 mango's fell off as we walked past. :whistle:Also picked a few more avacado's from the tree in the paddock opposite us which btw needs slashing again.

Tennis was great last night and made good progress on DD dishcloth. I hope you all have a great day. Byeeeeeeeeeeeee

Good Morning.
Just a quick one. First, Thank you all sooooo much for all the messages and poems I've had. People are so kind.
We are having a post mortem this morning, so hopefully after this afternoon, I can get on with the arrangements for Mamma's funeral.
The weekend has passed in a bit of a blur, but yesterday, I had my sister, her husband, my daughter and fiance, son, partner and Daddy to dinner. It was lovely, there was so much laughter and tears, talking about Mamma, I'm sure she was there with us too.
Gotta go now, but thank you all again.

Will read up later. ((hugs))

Just off to hospital for blood test results, don't expect anything much though. They rang Saturday and said the consultant couldn't see me at 1 pm, here we go I thought, then they said can you make 9.15am. Fine I said. Off Now

Right I'll try again - blimin internet just went down when I hit post:mad:

Was ill on Saturday night, so had to cancel my night out - which is probably good as it stopped me spending money!:D Always look for the bright side!!!

Received an A5 envelope full of used stamps from a colleague's other half. So they can all be donated to charity:T I've recruited both of them into collecting them for me.

Also did a lot of recycling at home, but other than that, just rested.

Hope everyone's ok

Good morning all

Beemuzed thinking of you and your family xxx

Hope everyone else is ok! I have taken the day off work (TOIL) and hope to catch up with some jobs! There is more washing to do, I plan to do ameal plan then maybe do an online shop as there are lots of big things I need. I still have a ile of 13 christmas presents to give out so plan to finally move them out the l;ounge and contact the people I need to give them too so I can arrange visits etc etc. Also at some point I will commence the great de clutter downstairs! Have been good over weekend and filled a bag for the second hand shop and also have a huge pile to sell on ebay if I can get myself organised...still have to go on the ebay board to learn!

Anyway, will prob end up with a cuppa in front of taped dancing on ice but the though was there honestly!

Hugs to all

Morning all
non working day today - well like aussie I will be working just not getting paid for it. Have some phone calls to make - dd11 has an appointment with the Education Welfare Officer on Thursday but I need to rearrange that. This is because her attendance is causing concern apparantly. seems that despite the fact that she has constant ear and throat infections and they won't allow her to take her medicine into school we will be in trouble if she doesn't go to school. BTW she is consistently in the top 3 in any tests at school so her work is not suffering. I am keeping an open mind and hoping that her level of attendance has triggered a referral automatically but as a working single parent I'm not likely to keep her off unless I need to. If it comes to it the dr will back me up. ddad also needs some information before he can transfer dd18's inheritance into my account - something about a BIC number - will phone the bank about that.

will catch up with you all later - have a good day

Very quick post as have to take DS to school in a mo. Have fed birds, need to make some more lard cake. Ds having breakfast. I'm having porridge. Have written long list of things to do, can't do much housework as OH will be in bed today.

Lunch is the rest of the veg soup. Need to make a list of what to grow on allotment and see what seeds I have. Might make chicken pie for tea or take quiche out of freezer .

Catch you later, good luck Haribo with your op :A xxxx

The weather here is awful cold and foggy need to tidy up go and pay some money in at the bank and collect my dollars not long nowtill we are away:j

tru

Morning all :hello:

I've not been paying proper attention I didn't realise Haribo was having an op, good luck hun

Mr tru is back to work today, 45 mins before he's due in he gets a phone call, with staff causing problems AGAIN :rolleyes: They make him manager, then won't let him manage. He has loads of money-making and money-saving ideas for the company but they won't listen then moan that they need to make more money :rolleyes: Between work and his family, I think he might pop. I wouldn't blame him in the slightest if he walked out, in fact I've told him to leave because it's not worth the stress but he worries about money. I have 2 plans of action if he DOES leave, 3 plans if you include the plan I have for him but I have a feeling he'll hang on in there for now.

It's foggy here too, but I think it's slowly clearing. I'll be out in the garden again and I need to get some washing and ironing done. Also I'll be planning more money-making schemes
