Hello

GabriellaG54 Mon 30-Sep-19 08:02:33

Hi everyone ??
I believe Mick said he'd be back on 1st Oct but it's been a washout according to my daughter who lives in the City centre and works in Harrogate.
Today, it's dull and 10° with a high of 18° later, however, ?? is also forecast.
No run as buddy broke two fingers last night and is at A&E today but I might run this evening on my own as I have to be in Guildford this morning.
The plums bought on Saturday I made into a clafouti and boy...was it delicious ??
OH devoured most of it...with cream.
I think he had 3 helpings which never shows on his frame as he regularly runs, cycles and swims.
Luckily neither he nor I nor my AC like Christmas cake or pudding so I don't have the bother of making them, as many do at this time of year.
The good news this morning includes an expected 4% rise in the state pension next April, taking it to £175.35pw ??
Every little helps, as that is a reasonable £351 over a year, the trouble being that interest rates are so low, there is nowhere to put it to maximise income. I like my money to work hard.
Well, time for my first clear drink of the day (1st of 2 fasting days) which will be Oxo followed by a pint of water...thrilling ?? but I'll feel good.

Here's hoping everyone has an enjoyable day or at least one nice thing to look forward to this week and I must say I'm so pleased that Anniebach has reconnected with one of her sisters and Luckygirl has finally managed a well deserved and happy solution for both her husband and herself. ???
Take care ?

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining in South Yorkshire at the moment, but it will be very different this afternoon. I have had the most awful weekend and just want a quiet day today. School run this afternoon. Congratulations to Marydoll and Mr M ??. Have a good day folks.

Morning Beechnut, Annie to come, and all others.
It's a bit grey and undecided here, still, I expect it will rain before too long.
Marydoll, Happy Anniversary, enjoy your 'peaceful' present, and Mr M will be delighted to hear that he won't have to have his inside leg measured at the tailors later on!
Our neighbour's baby still hasn't arrived yet.
Gillybob fingers crossed that MrG had a better night.
I am having a bits and pieces day, as tomorrow I go in for my op.
To all feeling poorly, gentle hugs, and have a good day one and all

Gosh, things move fast on here.
When I started to post, there were 18 messages, now there are about 28.
Must learn to type more quickly!

Good Morning from the S Welsh coast.
Happy Anniversary * Marydoll and Mr M*, we celebrated our 42nd in July.
A flat roofer is due to come to repair our leaking flat roof today weather permitting, but having just heard the forecast I can't see him coming.

Hope your husband is better gilly.
Congratulations Susan

Morning all from a fairly bright south Notts. A dry night after yesterdays downpours.

Happy anniversary Marydolls.

Am lying low due to a bad cold, runny nose and temperature. Luckily I don't have to go anywhere.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Good morning from Shropshire where the sun is making an appearance.
Awoken at 6 by a text from DD asking if I could go to DGD’s harvest festival so over the border into North Wales then hopefully a couple of hours with DD and new baby.Husband a bit miffed as he has physio this morning so feels he is massively missing out!
Happy anniversary to you and your husband Marydoll and good luck with the kilt fitting.
Hope you have a better day Greyduster ?and glad you are finally feeling better corner.Hope gilly and her husband have had a better night??
Thank you all for the continuing good wishes on the birth of Henry Jude.
Have a good day all.

Good morning from a brightish Aberdeenshire...the sun's coming out.

Scotland play Samoa today...hope it's as exciting as the Wales/Oz match! The mutt will get a brief whizz round the woodies this morning.

Also have to 'phone for test results to see if my iron is low...it may explain why I am so tired after the chemo.

Have a great day!

Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

Was caught on the hop this morning - forgot the man was coming to service the boiler. I was in the shower so answered the door in a towel - he didn't look too embarrassed!

Man coming to fit our glitzy new lights in the living room this afternoon - can't wait.
DH glued to the rugby!

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Mary Doll hope the kilt fitting goes well.

I hope both kitty and Lins get their roofs (rooves?) sorted out - I have a dread of water in the house.

Hope gilly and Mr gilly had a good night.

Sorry you are not feeling well beige.

Good morning all,
It's a bright sunny morning today - quite a contrast to yesterday.
Off to my coffee morning group now.
Enjoy your Monday, and to anyone feeling under the weather today, I hope you soon feel better. ??

Good morning all from sunny Cheshire. I've only just woken up, awake in the early hours ☹️ with pain and tingling in hands and feet. Anyone else have this? So pottering for the rest of the day, good job I've got no other arrangements today!!
