morning BC you beat me but i have been good and been doing some chores while i was having my cuppa but now am eating my brekkie .its a lovely bright morning here .sun was showing all the dust up lol

Good morning Daff and all. I got up far too early, thinking it was midweek, but a nice surprise to find it is Saturday! It feels mild but sky is still grey. I have two climbers I simply have to plant today as they have been languishing in bags all week.

Have a great time with littlie. I am thinking of kidnapping my two again but am waiting for better weather so we can go out and about. Their parents are waiting, cases at the ready!

Have a lovely day, everyone, whatever you may be doing.

And hope you are feeling a bit more balanced today, Mau;))

XX BC

hi folks i week left , well 4 days and then 2 weeks and 2 days off .I have so much to do with the wedding looming time is a premium now .I am going to make a list as i have decorating to do etc .
BC hope you are feeling better now love the photos idea with the doll
and littlie back in the morning too

BC, what a wonderful idea........ I love it, maybe I shall nick it, lolol..... lovely to be in your own bed isn't it? I do hope you are taking it easy, now..... or you'll have me, TW and Hayley coming across to sort you out!

The sun is shining beautifully.... have just made the second lot of sandwiches and flasks of coffee for the men in my life... one at 5am this morning, when hubby... yep, hubby, him who doesn't DO mornings, lol... got up because he needed to be in work... an hours' drive away... by 7am.

Son has just left... he will sleep for a couple of hours when he gets there, and then drive down first thing in the morning before she has woken up... well, that is the plan, anyway!! So this time tomorrow, she will be running riot through the house, lolol Can't wait...... *huge smile*

~~~~~~ to Ann.... hopefully, the weather will be kind to you.... you need to be able to wave those beautifully de-fuzzed legs at the world, lolol. ;¬)) Have a lovely time. *waves hanky as Ann sails off into the sunset*

Mau, it takes time, doesn't it? I have to admit, it is hard to slow down... I have the utmost difficulty, and am trying to change the whole way I do things... I used to neglect, then attack in one fell swoop, not stopping until everything was done... but if I do that now, I lose steam about 2 hours in and collapse knackered!! So now I amble through it all, but it.builds up too much, and things just aren't done... nothing ever looks tidy, and I find it dispiriting, as I feel as though I am constantly on the go, but never finishing anything... add to that my easily distracted personality and bingo... mayhem reigns supreme, lolol

Lol at Mummo.... you are far too bright and breezy for that time of the morning, lololol..... going (gone?) anywhere nice?

~~~~~ to Ginnie..... thank you for that... I might just sit and do that this afternoon.... I had phonecalls yesterday, which distracted me from my intentions, lol.... plus I was busy being a domestic goddess as well...... sounds good, but not half as much was done as I needed to get done... so my list for today has just doubled, but madam will be here tomorrow, so I need it all done so that my time can be spent with her, and not fretting about other things.

~~~~~~~~~~ to Maz, when she pops on.

Love

Daff xxxx

Morning Daff and All.
It's bright and breezy here but won't be venturing out,as think I overdid it yesterday,had my first 'trip out' (supermarket shop). Had to get up through the night and promptly fell over! wish I could say it was after a good night on the wine or summick lol ah well :O( ...family tell me not to overdo things..If only? I'm very impatient to get on with life!

You sound full of beans Daff and sure you'll have another great adventure with your littlie :O) xx

Good to see you on here BC.....bet you've given your new redhaired friend a name? xx

Have a smashing day everyone:O)) XXX

Morning Mummo, thanks for the wakeup call,,,lol...and waves hanky to Ann as she trots down the road, shades on, straw hat perched cheekily, bkini waving in the breeze...have a lovely time;))

Rather grey looking day, so much rain yesterday even my dog was furious and she doesnt really mind much. I had a really good sleep in my own bed last night and am feeling great. I didn't realise Littlie was coming this weekend Daff...how lovely for you! I found a great, big, mad looking, smiley ragdoll in a charity shop, with bright red hair, so I have (this is very childish! lol) posed her round the house and photographed her in various positions....'this is Grandma with glass of wine looking at the stars...this is Grandma with glass of wine, at her computer.'..etc.etc. am now trying to get them from camera to pc. so I can send them to the children...pmsl...

I shall now try and behave like an adult and take my dog to the park. Have a lovely day everyone...

Mwah! BC XX

~~~~~~~~ to everyone

BC, glad your safe , take care.x

Almost packed Daff, well packed plus clothes that will go in tomorrow, although they will have to temporary go in today so i can weigh the case, then there are labels to do, legs to de-fuzz (sorry too much information), hair to wash nails to do, washing to iron (T) Yes almost ready Lol!!!!

That got there quickly, posted second class yesterday !!!!

BC, glad you had somebody to look after doggie, I expect she missed you. Now rest, rest, rest. You may if you wish write a story while sitting down resting! xxx

*frets even more!!) BC what have you been up to??? I am pleased that all is now nearly well...... erm, nearly??

And also *gets on slightly- off -the- groundish high (sort of) horse* what about you and taking it easy, mmmm.... yeh, like, maybe we were twins in a previous life....

Now, please take it easy.... very pretty please?

Ann, no, I was in Hobbycraft by 4.15, and wandered round there.... then went into another shop to see if they had quiet kettles, lol..... kettle going on and off is disturbing R.... then in to T***o, had a pitstop and a nice cuppa, then went trolley dodging to get the essentials and a bit extra.

~~~~~ to Maz.... here too... although it did cheer up for a bit.

Post just arrived.... thank you, Ann... Mwah xxxx

I have spent the morning washing, loading and unloading the dishwasher, sorting out the freezers, and filleting the salmon I bought yesterday... the bones etc are in the stock pot burbling merrily away... I have bagged up the chops and sausages, cobbler and smoked Haddock into portion sized bags... they are now in the freezer.... and I have at last managed to upload my photos from the notebook/hard drive thingy so they are safely on my computer, and all backed up, including the ones of the cats I took a couple of days ago..... Right up to date.

I now have to go and clear the kitchen. *sigh* That is what is wrong with being a domestic goddess, you know... it is such a mucky job, lolol ;¬))

Are you all packed ready to go, Ann??

Well.... I must go and empty the tumble dryer, quickly while Jethro is out.... he likes to help and his paws are ALWAYS muddy! And then I shall have a look at see if there are any gardening programmes on the telly.... are there any scrapbooking ones? I want to see how to do the stamping... and to use the gadget I bought weeks ago and haven't a clue how to play with it, lolol

Have a lovely day, everyone.......

Love

Daff xxxxx

Afternoon all and thank you for the 'frets'! lol Have been in hospital for a couple of days but all is well now and I am nearly fighting fit again! To Ann as I know she was worried, my boozin pal took care of doggie and the dragon lady just fretted. Well it took her mind off herself for a bit! Hope you are all doing well and that Daff is resting...yeh right....pmsl....

Pouring rain here right now but I believe yesterday was like a summers day. Am off to read the threads in case I missed something important....

BC XX

morning all rain again lol

That took them a long time Daff, were you just at the garage all that time?

Evening all... ~~~~~~ to Ann and Mummo. no, I haven't played yet... I got me some more from Hobbycraft, because I deserved a special treat.... I am ehaustimicated!! Good thing I took the car for it's MOT and not son... they are normally very quick, as befits their name.... but they found that one tyre only had a thousand miles or so left in it... it was still legal, as were the brake shoes, but close to needing replacing, and I had felt them a bit strange, I have to say. But B wouldn't have had enough money on him, as he would only have had enough for the MOT....

So..... I took out a quick 2nd mortgage, and she is all sorted... but I was there for three hours.... and it was just a bit too far for me to attempt to walk it into the town centre... then I went and got the shopping in.... I had no vegetables at all in, so needed those at the very least.... My appointment at the garage was at 1, and I got back to the house at 6.20.

I could fall asleep on my nose... I shall be off to my bed very very soon, I think, lol!

I am off now to chill out for an hour.... or maybe just 10 minutes and then bed, lol...

Night all

Love

Daff xxxxx

I guess Daff is still playing with her new toys!!

Hello all, just waiting for the rehab nurse to come she 's due at 2.00pm., she does a good job but it does mess my day up. lol........l'm not moaning really.
Lovely day here today , quite warm (mind you haven't been out )
Ann we have your OH's dish of the day for tea, nice and easy for me.
Eddie always tells me l donot need a microphone so BC .......WHERE ARE YOU., hope everything is ok.
Right nothing more to report so will leave you all in peace.
As the Americans say "have a nice day" x

I am still fretting about BC, she hasn't been on here for two days now, most unusual, don't think she is away. Hope she is OK.

lol Maz... my son has the tumble dryer and the washing machine full of his stuff... he puts it in ok, but then forgets about it... I don't allow it to be on after 8pm at night, as they are noisy with the telly on and hubby just getting in from work, and of course, son isn't around a great deal during the day, much of the time.

~~~~~~~ to Karen, send us some more of your sunshine, very pretty please, lolol We had a bit last week, but like Oliver.... I want some more, please!! No shares in Dunelm, but I do find it spooky (cue spooky music) that my family of haberdashers and seamstresses (who started off as Cornish tin miners, lol) owned the haberdashers that used to be in the shop that virtually backs on to Dunelm, lol... you see, it must be in the blood, I can blame my genes, lol

Glad your folks are now safely back on their way to Blighty.... and I do hope they get spoiled by the staff for the delay...

I have a long list of things not to do, today..... but as the car needs MOT, and son was awake all night, it looks like it is down to me. Oh well.

Must go and make a start... the washing is on, but last nights dishes are still in the sink.... we ate late and I couldn't be bothered, lol

Have a lovely day, everyone.... it is miserable here, but I shall still enjoy it.... I have new toys to play with, lolol

Love

Daff xxxx
