A new what-I-did-today thread

I trawl the house selling sites a lot and am astonished at how often pics are taken with seat up. Horrible. I always put lid down too, discourages GC from dropping things down!!
Having quiet day in Toronto today. Everyone a bit worn out. DiL and two year old having afternoon nap. Son out with 4 year old tobogganing. I have the Peddlers on to listen to. Anyone remember them? My favourite turn at the small night club we visited in my late teens and twenties.
Have booked massage for tomorrow as went bowling the other night for the first time in twenty years. Felt good at the time and did not disgrace myself but my right hip and right hand have suffered since. On long plane journey and then train on Sunday so think a good massage will set me up ok.
After 16 years of giving massage to all and sundry have finally decided I want them more often too.

You deserve it Rinky-it's my new motto for 2013!

Yeah, it's nice to have the time to think of yourself sometimes isn't it?
And the motto is definitely one to go by at our age. Boy do we deserve it and are worth everything we can squeeze out of the next few years! Whoo hoo what's next?

Last night I was inspired by soops ability with photos on her profile (see Lil's Bar 3/4 thread ), so I spent ages deleting all mine, putting new ones up and resizing and naming them!
Much better!

Ella I thoroughly enjoyed looking at your album. I'm convinced that your wee granddaughter would be the perfect match with our wee man...let's say in twenty years from now!

harri and baubles so sorry that you've been stricken by the lurgy.
My ex-husband tells us that his partner went down with the same thing on Christmas Eve. She is usually fizzing with energy. She remains very poorly and confined to her bed. So far, our villagers have been spared. Should mr soop be smitten, we're in for a whole package of problems. Chest infections become so bad that he has to take steroids...
Get well soon.

We have been in Poole/Bournemouth since New Year and drove back yesterday afternoon.On the way home we took flowers to DH's parents' and grandparents' and our baby boy's grave in Ringwood - so he is not alone. He would be 40 this year - but you still shed a tear don't you?We had a lovely new Year's Day Viennese Gala at the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and then met up with friends for lunch yesterday whom I see maybe once a year as it's a long way and both of them have been quite poorly recently. I was exhausted and ready for bed - too late to collect Grace from kennels so I could have an early night without having to do the bedtime walkie first!

Welcome home again gracesmum. Your message brought a tear to my.
This afternoon we're celebrating a good pal's 72nd birthday. Always a treat to meet up with local village friends.

Today I raided the freezer and found some dark chocolate I'd hidden from myself. Chomped on a chunk and removed a filling from a wisdom tooth. How's that for justice?

anno that's so unfair! The girl who advertises Galaxy...the one who hides a bar from her flat mates, always looks as if she's about to be be sick. Such a shame. I love chocolate, 'though I prefer the darkest there is.

Ella I'm certain that I posted a message telling you that I enjoyed looking at your album. Appears to have gone on a walkabout.

...and now it's back.

soop Glad you like the pics

If Mr soop should catch the lurgy, please don't hesitate to let Ana and I know and we'll hotfoot it up to yours and look after him for you

I'm sure it would be much too much for you to manage at your great age, and we are both younger [really cheeky emoticon] and I have very soft hands!

Don't you think that the Galaxy girl puts the piece of chocolate far too far into the back of her mouth? That's NOT how you eat chocolate - it sits on the tongue, then tips to the side as you make room for more !

Mine are softer (because I never do any washing-up) Ella!

Yes, Marelli, they all do that on adverts - sort of throw it in...

This was the darkest chocolate available, soop! Now I have holes in teeth on both sides.

Took the family back to the airport after their week long stay. We had 10 days in Manchester then some of them came back with us!! The house seems awefully quiet now and the dogs can't understand where everyone has gone!!

Was that because it was frozen Anno? (The chocolate)

I went to work this morning but felt so wabbit that I came home to have a duvet afternoon.

Ana I always wear rubber gloves!

Chocolate. In the freezer! Why? It would never occur to me to put chocolate in a freezer.

baubles Take it easy until you feel better. They'll just have to lump it at work.

Cadbury's Flakes straight from the freezer are fabulous!!

In freezer: out of sight out of mind out of mouth. You probably wouldn't understand, Bags, but plenty of other G'netters would.
Yes, baubles, it was semi-frozen. Lasts longer in the mouth that way.
I'm glad you saw sense and gave up the struggle to work - it's just not worthwhile. With any luck, a quiet weekend will make all the difference.

Well chocolate didn't work (only two Ferreros, left over from my b'day). Onto veg crisps and fruit tea now in lieu of dinner. Beginning to feel better.

Hey, anno, I hope it isn't the tooth that was giving you grief not so long ago!
