Anyone Else Up Yet ......... Vol. 2

What good news, grannyactivist - well done to your son!
Good morning to you too,*baubles*! I'm sitting here still in my dressing gown with my cereal bowl at my side. This is my usual morning routine: I log on, check emails, check online banking, have wee keek at Facebook, then, having kept the best till last, I start on Gransnet [wiink]. That's why, after an hour, I'm still here looking like a midden and needing to make a move!

Marelli - shame on you
I've been shifting beds/cots around this morning - ooh sore back now. When I stay with my daughters I sleep on a put-u-up in the kids room or on a very uncomfortable sofabed in the 'hallway' but when they come here they want their'own room back and their children in a separate one; I should just shove them all in together and let them get on with it, but once a mummy always a mummy and I'm just too soft I'm supposed to be driving south today, but I was so tired that I've put it off until tomorrow so hoping for a good night's sleep tonight after only 4 hours last night .....

Marelli - thank goodness I'm not the only one.... .
Gally - very sensible decision - don't drive if you don't feel up to it. So dangerous for you - and other drivers! I have given up long-distance driving and 'let the train take the strain'. Now for the challenge of buying Christmas presents small enough to go in a suitcase and leave room for my clothes.

grannyactivist I'm well-chuffed! Super news!

Round of applause for your son ga nice wedding gift

Have a good trip Gally I hope you're feeling more like it today.

Thanks Baubles. I've been awake since before 5 but putting off getting up and organised! Will leave after the traffic instead of before!

Safe journey, gally

... and from me too Gally... I know exactly what you mean by beds! Spent years cosied up to the OG on a very uncomfortable sofa bed when I was used to sleeping in splendid isolation in my own boudoir!
I also supply large fluffy bath towels for DS, DIL, and 2GC... but have to take my own when I visit!

I can vouch for your great hospitality Gally.Have a good trip there and back

Enjoy your trip, Gally

Gally I sympathise; I'm currently in the midst of reorganizing most of my furniture in order to accommodate the newly weds when they return from their honeymoon. They'll be taking over the top floor of the house and a great deal of my furniture!!
However, I can't complain because my in-laws did the same for us when we moved into the top floor of their house several years after we married - along with our children and the au-pair! We spent a year living with them and I loved every minute of it and truly appreciated their efforts. As I'm sure your offspring will.
Safe travel and enjoy your stay.

Hopefully you'll be there just about there now, Gally, and that you had a good trip down.

Morning all . I've spent a chunk of my working week making up team challenges (based around customer service) and will roll it out this morning at our weekly staff meeting. A high % are fairly young and have grown up with Harry Potter, the rest have children of their own who all enjoyed HP. With this in mind I've used a Hogwarts Houses theme for the four teams. I do hope they like it.

Hope it goes well, baubles! Sounds like fun

May I join in, Baubles...[grinn]

How is everyone this Monday morning? Another week already! I'm off to visit DD and see how the little ones are. I hope you all have a good day

I'll be taking my spade for a ride on a bus later. Going to dig holes for schoolkids in a nearby village to plant daffodil bulbs in.

Good morning, everyone! Had a lovely, family weekend, with DS and new family arriving to inspect our new home, the DD and family coming over to see them, and having a huge "picnic" because our new dining table hasn't arrived yet. (Very small people had room at the kitchen table) I now know I can accommodate at least 10 people with ease.

It was SO lovely to see this house in family action, if you see what I mean. Loved the chaos and noise and, as we all say, the peace today!

DD & DGC having a long lie this morning, this is a first

In bed, in pain, waiting for the doctor to call. I need to be back on my feet for son's wedding on Saturday, so hoping that fast working antibiotics will do the trick!

Oh no ga,poor you.Sending you some strong vibes to make you better

Oh dear Ga I do hope you feel better soon, and are ok for Saturday

Hope you are soon back in the best of health GA

Get well soon ga
