ToadyI have been mainly Vol. 7

Or even "Today I "....!!!!!

I did wonder, Araidne .........

Today I will be chasing up a really useless recruiter who has failed to respond to 3 messages.

"Toadyl" sounds like some sort of tonic for amphibians that are under the weather.

Love the new heading Ariadne but sorry about your pain and hope you get a resolution quickly.

Keep on with those exercises Printmiss

Not the start of something else Ariadne, I had a similar pain in one knee a few days before Scarlet Fever hit! I do wonder whether there was a link or whether it was merely a coincidence
Hope you feel better soon......
Today I will be very busy, it will take my mind off the fact that my family have returned whence they came but shattered!

Today I am taking lunch to my 84 year old Step-Mother, who was dying most of last year, she has two kinds of cancer and serious heart disease. She was in a home until a few months ago until she rose from the grave like Lazerus, announced she didn't want to be with boring old people, and is now living on her own down the road from me in a flat in Putney.[Smile]

Grannyeggs how heartening that is!

Yes, she is amazing,very opinionated and tough!

Sounds as though she should be on GN

Catching flies or being cringing ly nice to important people

I have done a great deal of not very much today, it started out really well with good intentions, and went gradually down-hill immediately after breakfast, ah well! it's another day tomorrow - why am I always saying that recently?

Nice little gift this evening - moping around not wanting to go to a meeting, not wanting to let people down and getting more and more fed up. Opened laptop to check minutes of last meeting, and there isn't one tonight at all!

Dealing with people with depression all day! I'm sure it's catching

I've been rescuing a friend whose car broke down and then enjoyed a latte with her. Lunching with two other friends. Arranging a trip with another friend and a day out with DD2. All in all a nice day. Oh , I did do some ironing and hovering.

I love hovering...!

Grannyeggs that made me laugh lol good for her...

Oh goodness, today I can't remember what I did all day but I think housework came into it somewhere.

Houseworky day for me too today. I kept looking at the windows and thinking I really should clean those - never did. Tomorrow (maybe).

Today I've been doing 'meet & greet' at an art exhibition in our local prayer room. Lots of lovely people to chat to and the opportunity to listen to a couple of folks who just needed a supportive ear. Brilliant.
Got home to a telephone call from daughter to say she's at the end of her tether with her three year old and could I please give her some advice on how to deal with him. The advice was to put him in the car and bring him to me for a few days so that she can get some respite and have time for her six month old. I don't put up with any nonsense so he'll be as good as gold for me, but next week I plan to give his mummy some lessons in showing him who's boss. He's actually quite delightful mostly and has beautiful manners, but he's a bit like the girl with the curl for his mother - when he's good he's very good, but when he's bad he's horrid!

Like the hovering. We quite often see people who say they can only walk 5 metres in 20 minutes. We think they 'hover' between each step.

I travelled back from my other home where I have been sorting out cupboards and getting rid of all the things I have been meaning to do for ages. We are selling the property because we don't get the time to stay there now that GC take up a lot of our time.

I wonder whether Ginny was hovering on a broomstick or all by herself!

Ariadne - result!

Feeling exhausted today after finally moving out of the house yesterday. Collapsed in friend's house as I have a few more things to do before leaving for N Wales. Not really fit for any of them, but duty calls so I'd better get the coffee on.
Good luck with the three year old grannyactivist - or more specifically with the coaching of parent.

Look after yourself JessM and best wishes for the future .

Today I am having coffee with a friend then plan to sort out my treasurer's report for WI. I am coming off the committee in October
