Good Morning Saturday

Thayou to those who replied ,yes, I think I'll have forgotten how to communicate or go to a shop. I was really looking forward to this year, two weddings, Diamond wedding anniversary, various outings, as I-have said before, thank goodness for ‘technology’. ??

Good morning from a very wet and dismal market Harborough. Three more weeks of this and I will be to lock up! I know there are people worse off than me but right now I am feeling sorry for myself, so sorry for this rant.

Stay well, safe and sane. Lots of love to you all x

GrannyGravy I believe, GNHQ said they would deal with it.

What ever possesses people to do such a thing? Thank goodness we don't have to see them in real life.
We are all more sensitive to others' words just now, people need to stop and think!
That includes me, when I nagged DH this morning for putting on the washing machine with only ONE item in it!
There was a bundle upstairs waiting to go on.
I suppose I should be grateful, he actually knows how to use it.
What puzzles me, is that the bottle of detergent was empty, what on earthdid he use?

I may have to have a cuppa and a guilt free , home made macaroon bar to calm down. ?

That made me giggle Marydoll Mr.GG has absolutely no idea that the room he walks through to get to the garage contains the washing machine, tumble drier, iron and ironing board and assorted cleaning products, so that will never happen here

Mary I can sympathise. I am getting snappy with my DH especially about the dog and how we should give him the eye drops. Seems we are just both too stressed.
I would go and make some coffee but the dog is finally asleep in the kitchen!!

I’ve just noticed Brunette has posted on another thread this morning - that’s good news - she’s not left GN.
?

Did my morning moth patrol,been fighting moth infestation
For weeks. Sprays, hanging killers?for wardrobes, sticky
Pads (are they cruel?) etc. My walls are a new F&B colour
‘Squashed moth’. New carpet in small bedroom. Seriously thinking about wooden flooring in other bedrooms?
Does anyone else have hard flooring in bedrooms?
My other battle is with Hermes [messenger of lost parcels]
Where do they go?

Hugs to whywhywhy

Googes, a parcel of mine from Hermes has just disappeared off their system It has been lying at the national hub for days, now it has disappeared.

Mine was picked up by a courier and has never got any further!!
Contained items for my daughter’s f.i.l.He is recovering from
A stroke and corona 19. So frustrating and their lack of
Communication is unbelievable.
.

Hermes and Yodel in my neck if the woods are perfect.
Yodel delivery Wed and again today (6 more drops before mine) and my place is hard to find. I leave location finder on on my phone to help.. and usual snack as a thank you. ?
Here's hoping other GNers parcels turn up. ?

Our Hermes courier is excellent, Gabriella, it's the national hub which always seems to be the problem.

However, these are difficult times and patience is a virtue.

Googes41 I have hard flooring everywhere throughout my house. The main reason being my cat used to bring home fresh evening meals and it was difficult to clean the mess offa carpet.

The only place I have 100% woollen rug is either side of my bed but Tara stills claws at it.

I had a large rug downstairs which was a trip hazard and I ended up breaking a toe and being in plaster for weeks.

I do not have a problem and it is so much easier to see if dust has been missed when cleaning.

Thanks, very reassuring. Will go for it when all this is over!!

I do not believe it! I've just spent 25 minutes typing in here, having spent 90 minutes reading all the posts first, only to do something, I know not what, which has resulted in me losing the lot. Is there an emoji for spitting fire???????. Now you'll never know about the panoramic view from my window and how the sun lights up the distant hills, or the wonderfully eclectic subject matter of my WhatsApp with all three DCs. (Have you all been saved from a fate worse than etc?). Never mind, I'm sure you'll all survive. GrandMattie lovely to hear your DD is at long last back on UK soil, and artySue I love your description of your cosy Cornish flat - it made me feel all snuggly. And Happy Birthday ?? today to Grandmafrench's DH - have a lovely day. Annsixty I do know what you mean - that first year is so hard. Lots of love to you today - this too shall pass. Curlywhirly I'm with you regarding the length of Lockdown. I think there may be a slight easing of some restrictions in maybe a month or so, but I've felt from the beginning that this will go on until at least September. That's my mind set anyway so I'll not be disappointed when there's no change at the end of this next three weeks. I just don't know how those poor young families cope, cooped up in flats with young children. My eldest son would have gone crazy, he was always so active and had to be outdoors to play whatever the weather. But as Captain Tom said, we will all come through this and it will end. Have a good day everyone, and keep smiling ????

Whether it's deliveries (I haven't been affected by that) or mail, a lot of things seem to be going "missing" atm. Easter cards were posted for us by the volunteer, one (with gift inside) has not been received yet the others (some with gifts inside too) have been. One of my friends from my epilepsy support group ordered a new carpet steamer - order dispatched, then disappeared and so has the money. Feels like people are being taken advantage of at this time.
I'm sure you've all seen that scam post, and I know some of you have reported it, flooding all the forums today. Apparently, scamming is on the rise with everyone being in lockdown. Exploitation at it's very worst.

Taichinan , there is a ? emoji but it doesn't look like it spits. I'm often losing posts to. I sometimes lose them when I've nearly finished typing and sometimes, like last night, they won't send. It frustrates me greatly ? as I have dodgy fingers and a dodgy left thumb, and I'm left handed, so my typing is very slow. It can be a real grrrh moment! By the way, I do think you put across what you wanted to in a lovely way ?

Don’t normally post here but just wanted to send messages to ann glad to see you posting. Must be a hard time for you.
dragonfly so sorry about Dexter. I do hope they can save his eye. You and your daughter must be so worried.
gillybob thinking of you and wishing you help in your worries
Hello to everyone else. Hope you keep safe and well.

Oh thank you Cheerycezzy. What a lovely thing to say x??

Ooops CherryCezzy I typed your name wrong earlier - but in the nicest way, don't you think?
