Good morning and many happy returns of the day TA!

I'm just writing this very quickly so that I can say it isn't raining because it has rained most of the night and it looks about to start again.

DS has finally given me his washing from his cases but said cases are still in the sitting room, also I don't think I've had his washing from this last week. So that won't get done, will it.

I'm very tired, had an awful night with OH snoring. He stops when I tell hi off but then started again. DS had the TV on while unpacking and I had to come down and ask him to reduce the sound so I'm in the bad books though I don't actually feel guilty.

Thinking of Holly.

Morning everyone,

Many happy returns of the day TA hope your afternoon tea is fabulous.
Hope you feel better soon Judi

Bit dull here but the sun is struggling to shine through, we are off into Cambridge on one of our occasional big shops, mainly stuff for the house such as new toaster and my big casserole dish has started to lose all its non-stickiness, my DOH needs a couple of new bits clothes wise as well.
We will treat ourselves to coffee and cake whilst out as I don’t really do prolonged shopping so need something to focus on

Other than that not a lot planned, it’s bean burgers and roasted veg couscous for tea.

Thoughts are with Holly and all others who are struggling at the moment, have a good day folks x

Good morning all,

I had a nice-ish weekend. Although my team lost the Old Firm derby yesterday, disappointing. But then had a lovely meal with mum and gran for Mothers Day. I bought her flowers, wine and a card. I also gave her a jar of homemade chilli jam which I know she'll like.

Been to the gym this morning, and I've got 2 x games of football tonight, back to back. Chicken and veg for dinner, simple.

TA - Happy birthday!

Morning all,

A very Happy Birthday TA,shame the funeral fell today but these things can't be helped.I hope you have a lovely afternoon tea - I didnt know that Betty's had one in Ilkley,been to the one in Harrogate years ago.Don't know that you'll need extra cake but here's one anyway :bdaycake: Its a bit grim here,rained all night and meant to carry on most of the day, back to our normal weather then

DGD popped in yesterday afternoon but had been to a family party the night before and she fell asleep on the sofa! DH and I went for a walk on the moors and came home to our slow cooked beef and blackberry/apple crumble.DS1 had leftovers from Saturdays curry though..Perhaps the walk did me good as I prepped some meals for DS1 to take to work this week,he always complains that its nothing but sandwiches or pies on site and he's trying to cut down on wheat.I've been looking at buddha bowls on pinterest and made something similar-lets hope he likes it but at least I got a thank you and a kiss on the top of my head :rotfl:

Nelski- you are kind to sort a book and card for Holly-I'm sure it must help to know other people care about her wellbeing.Sorry to hear she was upset though and you had to speak to the wasp chewer.

I think I'll brave the rain in a bit and pop up the road to see DMs cousin (though I always called her Auntie as a child) I've not been for about 3 weeks.I do tend to always see her neighbour on the bus though & he keeps me up to date as he pops in for coffee at hers most days unless she has a DD visiting.

Lasagne for tea tonight I think.Take care everyone xx

Morning :wave:

Grey and rainy here ....suitable Monday weather

Big happy birthday to TA _party__party_I have never had an afternoon tea at Bettys but judging by the fat rascals I can imagine it will be gorgeous:) Just in case you run out though heres some spare :bdaycake:

Holly texted a few times last night (at least they are occasionally letting her use her phone) she is engaging a solicitor to help her with her rights as the hospital she is in is not suitable for her needs. Her bro is going to try to get her moved to a local hospital so that she can receive visits I think that will make a big difference as she must feel so lonely. I've sent the card this morning with all your messages on and I'm know that will cheer her up tomorrow.

Had a lovely big ham dinner last night with tons of veg. Some ham left over so may have the same again unless I get struck by a spark of creativity.

have a great day all :A

Woke up to no electricity, the whole village was off. Back on now so a cup of tea has restored my mood! Specky, talking of chili's I made some red pepper soup yesterday and decided to'perk it up' by adding some chili. note to self, about half the amount would have done. Boy it sure has a kick!
Lovely day yesterday youngest son and family came for breakfast, I made Mary Berry's drop scones with raspberries, blueberries and creme fraiche.
Happy Birthday TA enjoy your tea.

Morning all
Hugs and spoons to those that need them.
A good weekend for a change. Finally got Mrs M's birthday present for Countrywide ( couldn't go before as they and we were snowed in). Shocked to hear they had gone into administration... when is it going to end?
Got to ride mares for the 1st time since November,,feel a bit John Wayne today. The wussy one was great with the remaining snow drifts, and the normally sensible one was shying at everything.
Piddling down here.. Riley our barn cat didn't think he should venture out.
Sorted DS new car yesterday afternoon. Bonnet would not shut. Copious amounts of WD40, a few choice words and brute strength and ignorance later it was fixed! Amazing what a bit of fish extract can do.
DS sorted teas for his Mum after so a double result. And they won the Rugby.
Pembroke castle is lovely, it must be nearly 40 yrs since I was last there.
Right off to do some banking ( whilst we still have one)

Morning ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) if you need one, especially Holly. Happy birthday TA, hope you enjoy the tea this afternoon.

Lovely lunch with DD2 yesterday. She has at last managed to get out of the jimjams and into clothes, had a set back on Saturday she decided to go into Town with DGD, big mistake.........could not wait to get home, she really is not fit, I am hoping the Dr will put her on anothet sick note on Friday, she certainly is not fit to work.

Its chucking it down with rain this morning, so washing will do in the dryer.

Turkey fricassee for supper with rice and mixed veg.

Happy Birthday TA and I can recommend the tea at Betty's.

Holly

Hugs and hope the solicitor can help. Maybe your brother could try the local M.P.

Having a quiet morning before getting the bus into York and meeting older dd with a few bits and pieces for her.
Thought we might have a coffee and sandwich before I go to U3A in the afternoon.

dumpling

I am on slimming world as well and need to get round to trying the recipes properly. Having lost six pounds in two weeks has helped my knees and joints and can't wait to have lost a lot more.. Just realised that the bran flakes for breakfast this morning seem to be more effective on my system than I expected so will have to cut down on how often I have them.

Hugs to all
