Morning all... I was up late this morning... Littlie has been patiently colouring in on daddy's computer while she waited for me... she refused to have her breakfast with daddy, wanted to wait until Granny got up, bless her... and before the NSPCC and Social Services are called out, Grampie had given her one of his yoghurt (Actimel) drinks and a banana, so she was fine... daddy could doss in bed, cos the pc is in his room, and so Littlie is supervised.... but she likes the *downstairs* time with me in the morning, bless her. No way was she going anywhere without me.

So she has had her Coco Pops (I know, call in the Health Defective, lol) and drunk all the gungy milk, and is now steadfastly peeling a stubborn clemantine, lol. We have loaded the washing machine, and the dishwasher.... and they are now sorted... so she is having a rest now (that sounded funny, lolol) on the sofa, peeling her clemantine and watching Madagascar.

Hubby is on call all weekend, and then he is off next week, so we shall have a belated meal out then. I had hoped he would be off today, but they are busy at work. Never mind..... story of our lives, really, lol

BC, I am still not wonderful, but taking it fairly easy.... dinner today will be shepherd's pie, quick and simple, Littlie and I will sort the veg out together... I peel, she eats, lol... system works perfectly! ;¬)) I was lost the other week when my pc crashed..... this piece of technology has quickly become the right arm of lots of us, hasn't it?

~~~~~ to Maz... that is the problem.... we were in the last place 6 years, almost... well, we moved in that time, but only across the road, when they were renovating the quarters..... but I brought stacks of rubbish with me here.... and also, we still have all his kit, desert, temperate, and arctic, lol.... including NBC.... plus mess kits for both messes... why he didn't get shot of the Sgt's mess one, I don't know!!.... his No 2's etc....he has a couple of sleeping bags, plus stuff he acquired from the Americans.... he will sort it, one day, I am sure, lolol He is a worse hoarder than me!

Well..... Madam is fed up with Ceebeebies, has peeled and eaten her clementine.... and now wants to play.... in the shower.

See you all later.

Love

Morning all. *sobs... had no tinternet since yesterday morning due to flooding somewhere. It's ridiculous how reliant one has become on that wotsit! But I got a lot of things done and am reading a really good book. You won't believe this, but the sun is out here and the skies are blue! Yeehaww!!

Hope your aches are less achey today, Daff. *waves to Maz who is jumping up and down for some reason...lol...

Have a happy day, all.

morning all well last shift for two weeks yes !!
my jobs tomorrow is to clear some clutter and address storage not having moved for some 17years i have hoarded it was good packing up every two years or so as it saved all the clutter accumulating lol

Mmmm I noticed that, BC... oh well, never mind!!

I haven't had a wonderful day, creaks and groans wise, lol..... very achey, so much so that Little madam has taken to copying me as I struggle to get about, lol... lttle monkey!! But I have enjoyed my day, none the less... my Bokashi system has arrived, and I shall let you know how it works.... two weeks, and the first lot should be well composted/pickled, lol The first bucketful is fermenting away, the second ready to go.

Then I tidied up and waved a duster at a few cobwebs... son vacuumed (sort of, he missed loads!!) and I kept madam amused with dustpan and brush, damp cloth... one square inch of a kitchen door has been scrubbed to within an inch of it's life, lol... and all dressed up in her Snow White dress., we have had to call her Snow White, too... she is refusing to answer to her proper name.

Then the previous owner of Jessie (three legged cat) brought her 3 1/2 year old to visit.... they got on like a house on fire, but so funny to watch... My Littlie is tall for her age, and already outgrowing her 4 to 5 clothes, and her 9GG shoes. This Littlie is very small for her age... wears a 4 1/2 shoe, and 2 to 3 clothes, and only 3 months between them, I think!

They made butterfly pictures, and drew houses, then made Easter cards for daddies... and wooden spoon puppets... ate for Britain, ran around the garden in between showers, and both sobbed when it was time for E to go home. It was so good to hear them giggling and laughing together. And all I did was sit there, give a guiding hand, a dollp of paint and a judicious smidgeon of glue when appropriate.... oh, and I made a rather splendid butterfly picture myself, too, lolol

Maz, that is such a shame... but that is a good old age for a guinea pig! Sounds like you have a busy holiday ahead!

I am off to sort out dinner, now.... an easy one, sausage and mash, I am not bothering too much... I will cook all next week, with R home.

Love and ((((hugs))))

Good morning and sorry to hear about Big Daddy, Maz..always a bit sad when one of our 'friends' go, and good luck with the car hunting Mummo.

Have woken up really late so doggie has left a pool on carpet. The cheek! Will have to get down on my knees. ouch. and scrub it in a minute. Otherwise *looks out of the window...well, it's raining...lol..

Have a lovely day, Daff and everyone else.

Morning from a wet and windy Portsmouth.
Got to go out this morning to see if l can buy daughter a second hand car,
When she split up from OH he took her new car offf her ( control freak) and said she couldn't have it till she went back to him, as if that would make her go back. Only getting her a run-a-round as she needs one to get to her hospital appointments and as she lives up near Chester l can't take her.
Well Daff has littlin worn you out yet ????? lol.
Maz sorry to hear about your guinea pig :(((
Take care all in this horrible weather, x

morning all Daff its not as wet here at the moment ,found our big daddy guinea pig dead yesterday he was my favourite ,he was a good age though about 6 we think
two days left to go I am going to do things like check the freezer and cupboards and stock up so i am not panicing when the wedding lands on us .

We shall go together, BC... and have a never ending stream of young handsomes topping up our *glasses of something by our sides* lolol Mwah back... you wouldn't know what to do with yourself as a total lady of leisure.... you would have to fill in the time somehow or that poor wee doggy will have worn her paws down to her elbows, lol.... you could write that book!!

We are having hail at the moment... very miserable it is, too.... Maz, I haven't looked at the Easter forecast... I do know that some Welsh folksy types.... who get it right every year, and forecast a damp squib of a summer last year, and a cold winter to follow, have said that we should have a June July and August that will outdo the records for scorchers, so dig out your suntan lotion and BBQ's, lol

We'll see.

~~~~ to Jean. I am not too bad, just the sniffles still, and yesterday I was exhausted after two wakeful nights.... I took some sleeping tablets last night and slept until just after 10 am.... so I am sore this morning... can't win, lol.... it's because I have slept so soundly, I didn't change position, so have stiffened up... it'll unkink soon... it has started to ease already with moving around. Madam is having a second breakfast... daddy gave it to her this morning, and that is unheard of here.... breakfast time is girly time.... so she sent daddy up on his pc and then demanded Cheerio's, lol

Hiya Ginnie.... this one is eating me out of house and home, lolol.... she hates having her hair done... but I have a *special comb* lol (a bit like magic granny kisses and a dollop of face cream to ease minor bumps and indignities, lol) and loads of hair adornments, so she has now gathered them all together, put her green chair in front of the sofa, and is awaiting the arrival of the hair specialist... me! lol plaits today, she says, lol.... hope my hands are up to the job. ;¬))

We will make a card for daddy for Easter later.....

Better go... she is impatient.... wonder where she got that particular gene, lolol!

Have a lovely day everyone.... even if it is horrible in your neck of the woods.

Love and ((((hugs))))

Daff xxxxx

ps, I do hope the weather is being kind to Ann and her family!.

Morning Daff and all and thank you for your good wishes Maz:). Another rainy day here but all is well. Hope you are feeling better today Daff. You need a holiday with nothing to do just lying on a beach with the sun shining and a book and a glass of something by your side! Me too! lol

Off to the Underground now, the dragon lady seems to be having a new lease of life *sighs...looks like my retirement is postponed once more...

Mwah!!

morning all very dark wet and cold here
hope you feel better Daff and BC too after being in hospital ,do you realise this thread is nearly a year old .time has flown by .The Easter fore cast is rubbish might just do indoor jobs this week end

Hello Daff and little Daff, sounds as though you are having a great time,
hope we get to see some of the finished products...please.....managed to get some cards done , but havent alot of room to store stuff, so will have to see if I can come with a better solution, wish I could afford the fantastic craft storage, but at the price it is cant justify it....sadly....Hope the sniffles go away quickly Daff,

Hugs for everyone else (((((((((( X )))))))))))
have a great Easter holiday....

Bet Ann is sunning herself, good for her....

love Jean xx

Hello all,
Yesterday I had gr/children doing decorated eggs to take to school and we made quite a mess lol soon cleared up though.
Today is very very wet so I have just done H/W and put a casserole in the slow cooker then I've been searching for rellies.

Daff it sound as if your littlie is having a growth spurt. 2 of mine have hollow legs quite often and the youngest one at 6yrs old hardly eats but is very healthy so that is what matters.
Sorry to hear you are sniffly hope it goes soon.

Hope Ann is enjoying her holiday.
~~~~~~~~ to everyone else

bye for now
Ginniexx

Morning all... morning BC... poor little doggie... she'd whinge much more if she wasn't taken out, I expect, lol

~~~to Maz... yes, it is Good Friday this week... I am not sure what we are doing on Thursday, I am expecting to be taken out and treated to a lovely meal... but I doubt it, lol..... hubby is a wonderful man, and I wouldn't change him for the world... but he isn't very good to pick up on massive great hints! I think he has the day off... not even too sure about that lolol

I had a busy day yesterday with madam... but am not feeling wonderful today... not horrendously so, just sniffly and headachey... I think I have a cold coming on. I couldn't get comfy last night, at all... even got up and tried to write about myself, lolol.... didn't work for me.... it got my mind racing, and I was still awake at 7..... got up, for the umpteenth time, made a cuppa, went back to bed with it.... and there it was, 10am, cup of tea stone cold, lol

There was a customer in the hairdressers who was coughing and sneezing all over the place, so I expect that is where I got it from.... I am not a very patient patient.... and that is an anomaly if ever I saw one... patients aren't, are they? Well, unless they are unconscious, lolol

Madam is eating Granny's poached egg on toast, as well as her own...... she has shot up in just a month, and is forever hungry... last time she was here she was unwell, and we had a job coaxing her to eat at all... hollow legs she has now, lol

well.... she has now taken over my lap.... and we have her fishing game taking over the keyboard and a repeated request for row row row your boat..... which involves physical activity the way we play it! *groans*

Must go !

Love

Daff xxxx

Good morning! Just back from my walk, wet, damp, grumpy dog...lol...don't know why I bother!

Morning all.... beautiful day here.... Madam is watching Dora... we have just finished playing shop... and the rug isn't slipping... one of the tomatoes now has two true leaves out, and threee of the cucumber have sprouted *sighs happily*

The salad stuff is also showing lots of new growth... it is outside, so I shall go and have a look in a moment.....

We are going to be planting cress and some peas.... also sweet peas for flowers.... but waiting for daddy to get up to do that.

Must go.... the activity book has been presented to me........ looks like Dora has finished, lolol.... or been bored with..... see you all later.

Love

Daff xxxx

It is beautiful here today... sun is shining brightly, and although we have some clouds gathering in the corner of the playground, I think they are all muttering whispers of malcontent, and nothing seriously damaging will happen.... the sun is smiling so widely, it affects everyone's mood, don't you think?

Littlie will be here about 5 pm or just after, all things being equal.... I have had to change her duvet again, because Jethro and Hermie tried to help me (yeh, right) when I was in there cleaning the window yesterday.... and they had very muddy paws. Their latest game is to chase each other through the fleece tunnel, so I think the beans and peas have had it, as well, *sigh* but then they paddled their muddy paws through the house and all over her Peppa Pig duvet..... she'd be devastated if there were pawprints on it, so I had to change it, lol


I do have some good news... yesterday, 14 of my 15 tomatoes poked their lovely little heads above the soil... and today the 15th has decided to join them, as well.... and one of the 14 has also just put out the first true leaves.... aw, bless.... I am a mummy! No sign of the cucumber, or the strawberries... nor anything else we planted, but the packets did say up to two weeks, so I shall be wearing out the carpet waiting for them to be *born* next week, lol

Well, I must go and empty the tumble dryer.... hubby's shirts for work next week, and then bring Littlie's shop, scooter, bike and box of toys downstairs ready for her arrival. Before I do that though.... I bought some more sticky stuff to try and stop those darned rugs... they drive me nuts, lolol

Have a wonderful Saturday, everyone mwah!

Love

Daff xxxx
