    I need to borrow a gggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! - ooh that feels better - decided to brave the wind and rain and cycle into town as every project I wanted to do needs supplies of some sort or another - Left my bloomin' lock at home so have had to come back empty handed.

    dd11 told me tis morning that exoh's gf called her a B-word yesterday - it's the B-word that's technically true as her dad and i weren't married but still. Don't know what to do - I think gf is basically a nice person but a bit insecure and I know that dd11 is very possesive of her time with her dad so I think I will leave this one for now and let dd11 talk to her dad about it.

    Right I'm defrosted now so will get on - have a good day

    Morning all...............((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))) if you need one...

    Happy Birthday Racy................

    Well we have rain and wind, but not as bad as some of you for which I am thankful. OH has a funeral this morning one of his bowls club, as President he has to go.......its at the local Crem, just across the main road, but he will have to take the car, its too wet to walk, althoug there is a little bit of blue sky showing....................

    I managed to do the other pillow case yesterday, started sewing and realsied I had it too low, had to stop the machine quickly, but it still took me over 2 hours to unpick the bit it had done. All I need to do now is cut the scallops and then put them back together again................

    OH has a meeting tonight so we are eating at lunch time, egg chips and beans I think.

    I will have a quick run round with the hoover whilst OH is out.........

  • Morning Guys!

    Well my hospital visit has been cancelled as my consultant couldnt get it because of the traffic and roads being closed due to the weather. He's going to call later and re-book me in. Im glad as I feel shattered this morning and didnt have a great day yesterday.

    WM just about to go on, DW needs emptying and generally in slow mode today.

    Hope everyone is well today. Take care.

  • Morning all, Happy Birthday Racyred.

    Just back from clinic and levels are up again, so that is good.

    WM on with bedding, think I may have to use the TD as house looks like a laundry.

    Roast for tea so will prep the veg in a bit, then going to sit down and do some knitting. (why when I say that do I feel really old, Im only 37!!)

    Right kettle is calling so off to hobble. Have a good day all.

    Wind is picking up now. This morning when I posted it was quiet, now the loft hatch is sucking upwards, and the trees are bending over. Might disobey the coast guard later and go down to the sea front... I will wait for the high tide....:rolleyes:

Cant get on quite the same when he's about and up and down stairs like a yo yo....:confused:
    Washing machine churning away with OH's clothes...........hope he's doing some other than work clothes - we're going away at the weekend and don't want him wearing the jumper with the hole in the elbow.............lol He will if I don't hide it...........lol
    Yesterdays attempt at de-doing couple of easter cards not as successful as I'd hoped so might have another go at them.

    Hi Everyone

    Happy birthday to RacyR. :bdaycake: Rather a cold wet morning here but I think it has started to dry up. Hope all of you affected by the high winds are OK.

    Spent the morning finishing off putting stuff into the kitchen and sorting out kitchen photos which I will send to Photobucket. Got a message on Freecycle and my fridge will be going this afternoon hopefully. I can then put my lounge/dining room furniture back in place. [Just had a call to say they will be here at 1.30 :j :j ]

    There seems to be dust everyone and I have a feeling it will keep settling for some time. However that is stage 1 of the major revamp over, only 4 stages to go :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Hugs to those who are not feeling too good or have worries in their lives. Special mention to Smoky.

    Will catch up again later, hopefully.
