    Very happy, thank you for asking. In fact I'm happier than I have been for a lot of years. If ever I get to Squeaky's home town, I'll buy him a beer or two. If he hadn't moved me to the Daily, I'd never have met you nice folk or "mi Julie" :j

    Is Squeaky a bloke then ?
    You're only young once, but you can be immature forever :D

    According to the photo on "his" website, I think so.

    However, "he" might just be a seriously butch looking girlie :o :rolleyes: :D

    Good afternoon everyone ,
    and welcome home Pen-Pin I hope you soon feel better.Its great to get out of hospital and back in your own bed isn't it.

    I have had a busy week with four trips to the hospital for my R/therapy.(35 mile round trip everytime ) It's costing a fortune in petrol. The last one on Thursday, they told me I would have to have the measurements altered as the rads they had done were all in the wrong place, so a week has been wasted:mad: Back there next Tuesday for the whole lot to start again.Everyday for the next four weeks :mad: Still as long as it works .

    Friday night I treated my DGD Katie to a meal at Nandos and the movies.The meal wasn't all that exciting ,and I thought a bit over-priced, but we saw the Indiana Jones film and that was quite funny and we both enjoyed it. I have a cinema exhibitors ticket so only had to pay for one ticket.After we arrived home of Friday night my brother rang from France to say he was coming home next Sunday for a few days. I am really pleased as I haven't seen him for nearly two years:j

    Yesterday my DD and her husband came round and cut my lawn for me which was rather long to say the least My garden looks a lot better now.Good job it was done then as it poured with rain all night and is still a bit drizzly at the moment .

    Eldest DD came for brunch this morning after shopping, and we had a good moan about how the food prices are rocketing.She said that the shops close to me were empty and even Iceland's had nobody in there, and they are usually busy on a Sunday morning.Perhaps people are thinking more about what they buy instead of just filling their trolleys.
    I have had a good week financially, and only spent just under £20.00 on food shopping and have been 'shopping from my freezer/cupboards'. it's amazing how much stuff accumulates in there at times.
    well <,hugs to those in need> and a big :D to the rest of you.Have a good week chums

    Afternoon everyone

    Very windy here but no rain at the moment, the washing is mostly dry and i`ve just brought it in as it`s going rather dark so i don`t think it will be long before we get the promised downpour.

    I`ve been in the garden but not done any of the big jobs that are left to do, i`ve moved all the tubs and troughs with the seedlings in to a sheltered spot as the forecast said 50mph gales and i really don`t want to lose any of them.

    Martyn - its nice to see you so happy

    Catowen - i think i may just sneak an hour on the sofa

    Pooky - hope that everyone in the poorly house is feeling better soon

    Smoky - (((HUGS))) for you and the little ones

    Tru - the piggies look lovely, i absolutely love guinea pigs and wish i could have some, unfortunately my monster cat would like them a little bit too much.

    Hester - what breed of doggie is Tia?

    DH has just rung to say the weather where he is fishing is terrible, he`s staying and camping out (must be mad in this) and not back until Tuesday.
    I`m about to have a lovely hot roast pork sandwich as the meat in the slowcooker is now ready YUM!.

    Have a nice afternoon everyone.

    Planning on starting the GC again soon :p

    Smoky: Good to hear from you, kids seem to do things like that when you don't want or need them too. It'll all work out, hug.gif to you too.

    Pink-Winged: Stop boasting about your cucumbers, just cos your is doing better than mine, you don't need to tell everyone bleh.gif

    JackieO, You're an inspiration xx

    I'm doing nowt today as I'm a wee bit under the weather, I hope it's still part of the recovery process from the op, fingers crossed or else my problem isn'[t sorted after all.

    Hello
    Hugs to all who need them.
    DD played cricket this morning but managed to bowl 3 wides and be out once so their team lost!!! She is really inconsistent and now says she doesn't want me to watch as I bring her bad luck.
    Thinking about doing some ironong or making bread but still sat here on computer. I'm sure I'd get more done if I didn't have one. Blitzed one cupboard in kitchen after church and OH didn't even notice!!
    DS tidied his room but only because friends mum asked if her son could stay tomorrow night as they were going out. Still got job done.
    Decided that breadmaking was preferable to ironong so am off to do loaf for tea - Sunday dinner put off until tomorrow when DS friend is here.

    hello all

    sunny day here but the wind is cool when the sun is behind a cloud, not had rain for ages
    kyle and me were at our monthly car boot sale, i got a recipe book and six eggs, its a great place to get childrens toys and baby things, then i came home and made scotch pancakes as the cupboard is getting bare

    into the greenhouse after and transplanted lots of tomato plants, the basil, parsley and peppers are doing well as are the sweetpeas then i took LO out for a walk as he came home early from the fete in the park, think kyle and family cleaned up with the raffle but she will let you know

    am off to sit out with a book if the sun stays out

    Penny-Pincher its great to see you are home again, theres no place like home
    Jackie0 sorry to hear about the radiotherapy but seeing your brother again will be lovely

    hugs to smoky, remember and have a rest
    hugs to arkonite and beethebee

    martyn glad you have found happiness and you are right that life is too short to hang about
    catowen fingers crossed for the weigh in
