Morning All

Thanks for the start Holly, glad you had a good day.
Sorry Mr TA isn't so good TA, hope you can get some answers soon.
Sounds painful Mrs SD.

The sun is shining, I may get this driveway finished if the weather keeps up. I was rained off yesterday but wasn't sorry, really didn't feel like doing outside work as this bloomin cold is developing at a rate of knots! The rain didn't last long but by then I had had a bath and was thinking about bed.

Just about to put my dressing gowns on the line, should be nice and dry when I get home.

Work again today, the children are quite happy with the dry weather and everyone seems to be in a better mood. Have a good Wednesday, take care. XX

Morning folks and thanks HOLLY. That sounded a lovely day for you yesterday.

Well yesterday's appointment with the Neurologist didn't go well. He seemed a bit miffed that Mr TA's Oncologist in Leeds had suggested the Peripheral Neuropathy was to blame for the digestive problems he is having. Not so, he said. You need to see a Gastroenterologist, So yet another branch of medicine to add to our ever growing list. We have a review of yesterday's appointment with a GP this morning so will take it from there. He really can't go on as he is with difficulty eating and, consequently, losing even more weight so I hope this can be arranged quickly. It goes without saying that I am very worried.

We have lost the sun today but it's due back tomorrow they say. It's eldest DGDs Confirmation service tonight and DD has booked a family meal afterwards at a lovely little Italian restaurant in town. I really can't see us going for the meal, as things are, but Mr TA is adamant he wants to go to the Church. We'll see how the day goes first and see how he feels by this evening.

Have a good day folks and ((HUGS)) for all in need/want of them. Take care all xx

Morning all


Seems a little bit cooler here this morning with a sharp wind again, yesterday turned out to be lovely again, I think we are due nice weather for about two weeks :j


Back to work for me today but its a short week with only three days so its payback for my long week last week.


Not sure about dinner tonight but there is plenty in, if its nice and sunny we may bbq or if not we have sausage and mash.


Got a few bits for my holiday yesterday but still need a few t-shirts as there was not much about so we will have to have another shopping trip.


Specky some things are just not meant to be, there will be a perfect person out there for you, and will happen when you least expect it.


Gentle hug for Mr TA xx


Have good days all xx

Another day of the mysterious disappearing post.

Holly what a lovely day yesterday and I hope the consultant's visit goes well.

TA, you and your DH are in my thoughts and hopefully you will be able to enjoy the church service.

Dumpling, in answer to your question, I make a lot of things for the children and grandchildren of friends. Many of tge toys are in sets or families. Sometimes I make things for competition or raffle prizes. Often, when I make things for people at work, other people see them and ask me to make similar ones but with clothes in specific styles, it can be quite fiddly to make bride and groom outfits for small bears, especially since I have not really experienced a bear wedding. I improvise. I also make a lot of children's clothes, often to my own design, and baby blankets, all kinds of hats, gloves, scarves. I rarely knit for myself though. I'd forgotten but some years ago, I was asked to make 50+ mice in different colours as wedding favours, I only hope nobody there had a mouse phobia. I think they had a theme, Alice in Wonderland or something.

I am working this morning but as I worked on my day off, I might take the afternoon for myself today. It is dull but not raining.

My son had quite a good day, he has health problems but has goid and less good periods.I note that he had a huge box of Ferrero Rocher which he ate, shared some with his dad and I was offered one. Also they ate a chocolate orange but although I was offered a piece, I don't like those so declined. They had swordfish, followed by rack of lamb, I had a fishcake. OH cooked.

I really should he my arris in gear. Have a good, or at least tolerable day.

Good morning everyone :hello:

It is a lot cooler and quite grey here this morning. I managed to have a strip wash in the kitchen sink so I don't feel quite as grubby now. The builders are coming at 8 again so I will get the kettle on for them in a minute. We have tiles on the wall now so it is going very well and should hopefully be all done by Friday.

I will be doing some cooking and baking today to keep me occupied as I don't have any visitors coming. I still have loads of food to use up so will make some to go in the freezer. Becky will help me when she gets up as she enjoys cooking.

Thank you AOD for your interesting reply re the knitting. I have found it to be a bit of a sanity saver over the past year and although I have tried making clothes, toys are my favourite thing to make.

Oh the doorbell has just gone so I will love you and leave you. Hope you all have a great day whatever you are up to, take care xx
