    Morning everyone.

    SMOKY - you are very much in our thoughts; thank you for taking the time to post yesterday. All the sentiments expressed yesterday are deeply heartfelt. I wish you strength in the days ahead and hope you find the time to look after yourself. You will smile again, I promise; not today, but one day.

    Much love to you and the LOs.

    CHURCHMOUSE - :hello: :hello: :hello:

    Well, the sun is shining but it's freezing cold - I just can't get warm. Soon, the sun will come in through my office window and I'll be complaining that it's hot!

    JANNYANNIE - I got so fed up dusting around ornaments, especially since the tendonitis started in my hands, that I packed most of them away. I just keep my real favourites on display, the ones from the children and grandchildren. It has made dusting so much easier. One day, my DH has promised to make me a big glass-fronted display cupboard but, until then, I keep it all to a minimum.

    Well, I need to have a quick whip round today, make some of Twink's hobnobs, prep for tonight's casserole, visit the gym and then, after lunch I'm collecting DGS from school while his Mum takes DGD for her swimming lesson.

    I did say earlier, in reply to someone (and I'm sorry, I can't remember who), that I would post some pics of the things I have knitted but I am really struggling with Photobucket. I've used it before but can't remember how; every time I try, I can't upload and I have to stop before I throw the computer out of the window! I'll have another go when I'm not in the usual tearing hurry.

    Well, I'd better go and start on the chores.

    Hope everyone is having some of this sunshine even if it is cold.

    See you all later.

  • Morning all,

    ((smokey))
    Sunny but very cold here this morning. Will make the most of it though and cycle to my SW weigh in today. Might treat myself to a large piece of cake and pot of tea at the cafe while in town though :eek: AFTER the weigh in of course :o

    Hope you all have a good day and hugs and best wishes to all who need them.

    Just wanted to say good morning before I go to work.

    Smokey - just wanted to send a quick hug.

    Got meeting at work then am hoping to skive off early as we are driving back to the UK tomorrow and have to pack the car (hmm - methinks I might be being a bit ambitious with the amount of stuff I am expecting OH to cram in)

    OH is having his medical to go to Australia as we speak - then all we have to do is sit and wait for our visas to arrive as all the paperwork is done (at last)!

    Have a good day all.

    Morning Everyone

    The little monkey decided that 6.15 would be a good time to get up so I'm sat here with my second cuppa. She is going to be vile later I can tell. MIL bought her a headband that won't stay on so I'm being treated to regular tantrumns. The headband is because grandma doesnt think she should have a fringe, I don't think she quiet got it yet that she the grandma and I'm the mother.

    Its work this morning and then its mummy time until next Tuesday hoorah. This afternoon I think we will be in the garden doing some jobs, tea will be nice and easy Sausage and mash I'll have mine with DD as DH is going to be late. Hes off to pick up our worktops from Liverpool after work there lovely bamboo ones bought off ebay for a fraction of the price that MFI are asking.

    Have a good day everyone

    Morning All!
    (((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))) to Smokey, thought of you when I woke up.

    Off to the hospital to see my Nurse this morning. The walking is getting better, the numbness is too. Let's hope it continues!

    DS is asleep, going to College today, after his blip on Monday. Had his hair cut last night in a new shop over the road. He came back looking gorgeous:eek: If I was 20 years younger I'd fancy him myself!:rotfl:

    Haven't decided what's for dinner yet. Had Pork chops last night. Yum!:T

    Have a great day all!

  • Argh, another 5.15am start. Although, I've had a headstart on my list of jobs for the day. Washings been on for ages, dishwashers emptied and I've done my little bit of shopping. Also got rid of oh for the day (okay he's gone to work) and the sun is shining. Very cold but pretty.
    Gonna have my first attempt at homemade breading today:D ....eee...I'm soooo excited! But I also have a dentist appointment (nooooooooooo!:cry: )

    Hope everyone else has a good day

    Hugs and loves to Smokey, and anyone else who needs/wants them
