    Good morning everyone :wave:
    It`s a cold one once again but the car didn`t need scraping as much as yesterday.
    I woke up this morning to the lovely smell of bread and coffee as the breadmaker was just finishing and I remembered to put the coffee machine on the timer last night.
    It`s just got light here so I will pop out later and see what kind of day we are going to have, hope it`s a crisp clear day that warms up a bit later on.
    I got to w**k a bit early today so i`ve had several cups of tea already but I can`t shake off the tired feeling at all so maybe my next hot drink should be a coffee.
    Not much to report really on the home front as there hasn`t been much time to do anything as this week is all bed and work but I will be off this coming weekend which is the only thing that`s keeping me going at the moment.
    Right off to try and do some w**k and hopefully catch up with th GC a bit.
    Have a lovely day everyone.
    Smoky – hope you are ok.
    SD
    Planning on starting the GC again soon :p

    Morning! Off to a meeting today with a colleague about mental health and debt. Sounds interesting, and had the magic words "lunch included" :D;) We're then off to a cafe to discuss what's going to happen when we reduce our hours and how we're going to deliver the CAB service. The cafe is fab and is in a brilliant cut-price bookshop, so I have to resist the cookbooks. Last time I came away with Nigella Lawson :D:p

    I'll have my crochet with me, so if you see a Happy Hooker in York today, please wave :rotfl: :T

    (((((lyndseyann))))) what a worrying time

    Tea's brewed, so off to take a cup to DD.

    Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

    :hello: Morning!

    Today I am going to borrow a huge GGGRRRRRRRRRR! :mad: from Csarina! I am so angry that DD was mugged again, Why is she being targeted? Because she is little? :confused: Thank goodness she wasn't hurt this time just shaken up. She has enough on her plate at the moment (MRI scan is tomorrow) Well at least I can say I am very proud of my dd I don't suppose the mothers of those brats can say the same!:rolleyes:

    Sorry folks rant over but much needed, thanks for the ((hugs)) for her. I have a cuppa and a puppy in a cuddly mood just need some chocolate!:D

    Off to Church this morning for the toddler group and then back home for a rest and some more knitting and ironing before going back for part 3 of a lent course I am attending, so a busy day, veg box delivery comes today as well!

    have a good day!

    Morning all

    DH & DD languishing in bed still, as they're on a later start, going to Bath Uni for open day for dd. They're stopping in Brum for a Balti (old time's sake, we used to live there!) on the way home for dinner, so just me and DS to sort. Channa dal, rice, broccoli left from last night for me and I might do pizza for ds and freeze the other three. Could do with getting a stash of bases, but not done it yet.

    As for the rest of the day.... I have the room to clear that is to become my treatment room/craft room/sewing room/office. DH is getting started with that soon. Need to get dh socks, he's desperate. Will pop over to M&S as he likes theirs and I have a voucher to use. Not toooooo painful.

    Need to do a clean through downstairs as well. Wrinklies coming at the w/e so need to give their room a quick once over. Now I have the new vac it's so much easier!

    A bit of 'me time' would be good. Personal care.....

    Now! on with their packed lunches. Told dh it would be better for them to take some sandwiches.... they can leave here later and get some extra zzzzzzz. If they had to go and find lunch before the Uni thing, they would have to leave earlier! AND they're having a meal out later!

    Good Morning All

    Didnt catch up with yesterdays thread so hope everyone is ok. Big ((((hugs)))) for your DD Catznine.

    Yesterday was a day where I had loads of work calls and running around and got nothing actually done. Also only had half a nights sleep as we had a van breakdown in the middle of the night. So am hoping today will be a much better day. Wont be particually nice though as this morning am taking OH to the dentist to have his tooth out and his jaw cut, he will be having a sedative so I am his responsible adult that needs to look after him today. (there was noone else - lol)

    So plan is when I get back home to get on with some paperwork and then ironing this afternoon, no idea what is for dinner tonight - will see what oh can manage and work from there.

    Did manage a visit to a local farmers market yesterday - was disappointed that it only had half the stalls as normal but managed to get 4 racks of pork ribs from my favourite pig farm for £4 - some will be put in use this weekend.

    Best be off now, need to drink my coffee before OH gets up as he cant have any.

    Have a great day.
