Monnagran, your thought for the day made me chuckle, as did your musing on a 3 mile run!
A busy day ahead, tempting to just crawl back under the duvet but I'd better just get on with it

Hi everyone , like NM I had a frustrating few days watching posts disappear into the mse ether . I can't remember any of my witterings so will once again go back to catch up '
Hope you are feeling a bit better now NM . Thanks to Islandmaid for the Nora Batty pic which has brightened a cold and grey day . As always I'm loving Monna's thought for the day , I think you've landed yourself with a daily job into the future as we now expect them !
Back later and hugs to those in need .

Hi all,

Burtha just reading your posts wares me out - as for running, I have problems running a bath let alone do it for real :eek: if it makes you feel good and gets you some ‘head space’ then good on you x

I am not well today, bug going around, I won’t go into detail _pale_
So I am off work - feeling guilty as one of our colleagues is on leave this week, so they will be short staffed - I don’t think they would appreciate me spreading my lurgy though :cool:

Hubby is in charge of dinner tonight, as food is off my radar for once

Sorry things aren't improving NM. No useful advice to offer either pain or property viewing wise . While those viewings are on Saturdays you're a bit stuck . You mentioned landlord does that mean it's still via an agency with the landlord present for the viewing or is it marketed by the landlord ? If the latter it's worth phoning to discuss your dilemma re your son's working hours . Someone with a good work ethic is a landlords dream .
Apart from that while understanding your son's wish to not take time off or put an extra load on his co workers something will have to give if he wants to be in better accommodation and nearer to work . It's a tough one .

Silvesava I love those big biker events . I watched them heading for the Cenotaph on tv yesterday . A lot of people judge bikers but here in the NW and indeed throughout the world they do so much good .
There are caring and sensitive souls beneath the leather and helmets .
Mar Keep close to the fire love . I'm sending the vibes that things will improve .

Monna Do you think you'll ever "retire "? I know you're being a bit jocular but a Monna B&B would never be short of guests . What would you call it ? I can only picture Fawlty Towers ( in a non judgemental way ) you sound the perfect hostess but I bet many a laugh would be had .
Mistakes in handmade anything prove the fact they are not mass produced but lovingly crafted with the occasional loss of concentration . I've done it myself and the sky didn't fall .

No idea where I'm up to now . It's been really cold here the past two days with frosty mornings and not much warmer tonight . Time to eat and try to find a few more memory cells .

NM your housing association should give you a tenants reference if you need one - might be worth asking for it now in case they drag feet.
