Good Morning Thursday

Pleased your DH’s Op went well yesterday Gingster what a way to spend your birthday? ?

Scentia you are a super mum ?

Sar53 your parcel debacle is a complete shambles ?

Good morning from a bright but cold Norfolk.

Good news grandMattie little ones are very resilient and bounce back so quickly.

Decided to start the Christmas decorating today DH is out for the morning so I will have a free rein, trying for subtle look as he’s bound to say it’s too early. Think we all need to do things to cheer us up. I know GS will love it when he’s back here next week. Will buy the tree next weekend and he will help to decorate it, he loves going to the farm to pick it, watch it chopped down and the wrapping to get it home. Last year we forgot how many there were of us in the car and couldn’t all get in the car with the tree so an urgent call to DH to rescue us!

Hospital appointment later this afternoon so best get a move on.

Take care everyone.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning all...brightening up here in Bolton..off for a long trek..just spoken to DS2 in Oz..lovely to see him..but so want to hold and hug him...so a good job am off on a trek..walk off the weepies!!
I know we all are having up and down days..so let's take Scentias advice ??
Keep on keeping safe ?

Good morning All from a cold Polmont. I can't decide whether to nip to town for Christmas books and vouchers or stay home. Parking requires pound coins and I have no loose change at all! Small problem I know. Scentia what a lovely mum you are! Harrigran what a worry for you and your family. I hope your wee dgd is ok. Grandmafrench I love a good storm! But not when it keeps me awake. You have our permission for a cheeky nap when you need it. Kittylester I'll keep my fingers crossed that the coating on the roof works. I had a terrible meal last night! I really fancied fajitas so bought in the necessary stuff. The tortillas weren't heated enough and tasted like plastic, I had used cooked chicken, it didn't work, and I found bones the hard way, despite shredding carefully, the spice mix was gritty so most of it was thrown out. All of it was my fault of course, which was annoying. Tonight I'm making pizza so I will take my time. Have a good day all.

Good morning to you all,

It’s a brighter, dryer morning than yesterday, though still cold here in South Yorkshire. I’m not sure how long it will stay bright though as the clouds are starting to roll over, covering the brief bit of sunshine we had.

Pilates again this morning - these sessions soon come round, despite lockdown and restrictions.

After that, I really must tackle the ironing that I was going to do yesterday and Tuesday! Somehow, other things got in the way ?.

I will come back and read everyone’s posts after my class, so I do hope you are all alright and anyone with worries or sadness, I hope today brings some calm to your troubled mind. ?

Good morning all from a frosty Glasgow, I'm glad my working days are over, no more scraping cars!

Grandmattie aka knicker lady, great news about your wee granddaughter and Scentia, glad to hear your daughter is a bit better.

DH is insisting I stay in bed this morning. ? He probably wants a bit of peace and quiet. ?
We went for a short walk to the post box yesterday to post an envelope to the Alzheimer's society ( thanks Nortsat for alerting me) and a letter to our friend in Italy. I felt awful when I got back and spent the rest of the day doing zilch. To make matters worse, we got to the postbox to find that, after checking online to see how much it would be, I forgot to put stamps on it. DH was not a happy bunny!!! ?
Thank goodness for our lovely postman, who spotted the letter in our porch and offered to take it to the post office.

For nine months I have been searching for a gift I bought in the sales last Christmas for my future DIL's birthday in May. I ended up buying something else and began to think I had imagined buying it. I had always thought it would turn up in time for this Christmas, but nothing, so again I bought something else.
Yesterday I ventured, where no man (nor woman) ever goes, DH's man cave. I had stashed all the bargain Christmas paper from last year in the cupboard there and hadn't visited since. DH just fires everything in there, so its almost impossible for me to lift out the heavy spare golf clubs and all his other junk precious possessions.
After eventually getting out the storage bag of paper, I spotted the missing present! ? Now how did it get there?
Oh well it will do next year if I remember where I have put it! ? I may have to take a leaf out of my late MIL's book and write everything down. ?

I also found gifts I bought in New York last year. If anyone is looking for lip gloss, I have plenty, and I mean. PLENTY, all found in a TKMAXX bargain bin!
Well it did seem a good idea at the time. ?

Baubles, glad to hear you are making progress and Kitty I hope you at last manage to sort the roof problem. * Elizabeth1*, another successful post! ?
Harri, I'm so sorry to hear of your troubles. Sending gentle hugs to you and your family. ?

Have the best day you can, everyone.

Good morning all and what a lot of news and chat you all have. So interesting to see what everyone is up to.

Thanks for your birthday wishes for my DH and DS1. DH’s op went well and his ear now looks as if a dog has chewed it. He’s had a small skin graft from his upper chest. Excellent service once again from the NHS. ?. We can only go by our own experiences.

GM such positive news for you little GD. Bless her brave heart.
Dwm thanks for all you do. ?
Scentia what a loving mum you are. I bet your Dd felt like a new woman.
Pantglas I’ve started singing ‘didn’t we have a lovely time, the day we went to Bangor’ ?.

Hope everyone has fun with their GC today. They do light up our lives. ♥️

So sorry to hear harrigran about your DG1 hugs to everyone

Good morning everyone from it looks to be a bright start to the day here on the east coast of Fife.mr grumpy has left the building mr happy is now back again he’s on another batch of antibiotics and steroids and what a difference they’ve made. My kind physio is coming today hope he can see my physical improvements. We’re having a Chinese carry out tonight from the jyst eat app I just love their king prawns and black bean sauce with mushrooms onions and Chips of course. ( just a little) have a good day all and be kind to yourself

Morning Mick, morning All from a misty, frosty corner of Somerset. Little sleep for me again last night, think I’ll have to talk to a GP about a change of pain medication. An NT walk at lunch time, looking forward to being out, a beef casserole in the slow cooker before we go makes an easy meal when we return. Good news indeed grandmattie, best of luck with the knicker changes. Sounds just what the doctor ordered for you all yesterday scentia. Another one here who has never used Zoom bellasnanna, you aren’t alone. Take care everyone, special thoughts for those with heavy hearts.

Good morning from a sunny, frosty Leicestershire.

Very nervous about hearing which tier we will be in. I fear the worst.

Wonderful news about your GD, how brave she is.
I wish I had had a mum like you Scentia.

No plans today.

Good Morning. It’s a cold and frosty morning here in N. Bucks .
Grandmattie Pleased to hear about you DGD s ‘op .

Thanks for the nice comments re the news about my DD yesterday .

At home today, it seems like a day for baking and making soup.
This afternoon I’ll settle to some more sewing.

Take care and hope you all find a ?today.

Good morning from a brightening Colchester. Dry and chilly is the forecast.
DH had a phone consultation with a nurse yesterday who decided that she needs to see him. He knows he needs to see a doctor but has to jump through hoops to get there. He has already made a private appointment with a specialist but even that has a four week wait.... Bloomin' virus.
Thursday night is online quiz night but otherwise my diary is empty as usual.

Morning Mick and all. Cold here, and so foggy I can’t even see the fells. I have taken hot chocolate back to bed, because I need to finish my borrowed ebook. This is a great library service, and they lend audiobooks and magazines too.
My bin bag filling has kind of inspired me, so I’ll try to fill another couple today. Other than that, no plans.
I saw sumac mentioned here a few days ago, so ordered some online. I’ve defrosted some chicken thighs, so will look for a recipe.
Good news for your granddaughter, Grandmattie, I’m sure all will be well.
Happy Thursday everybody.

Hello NanKate, I love your DGS acting as your waiter! Very precious moments to treasure.
I’m impressed about your Zoom meeting! I’ve never Zoomed with anyone and wouldn’t know where to start.?
Yes, the tennis gave us something to look forward to didn’t it. Roll on the day when it’s back to normal.

Good morning from an overcast NE.
Had message from DIL yesterday to say GD1 had been sent home from school with a cough and a temperature, she was tested and has coronavirus.
Spent the afternoon making soup, hoping to tempt DH to eat something.
Slept most of the night despite pain in hip and knee, I think after a week of disturbed nights I must have been shattered.
Take care everyone.

Good morning Mick, morning all from a very cloudy South Lanarkshire.

All good wishes for your GDD grandMattie.

You were a real tonic for your DD Scentia, it’s so good to hear.

I think I may get out for a walk today, himself has been doing the dog walking for almost a week now but I’m staggering less so will give it a go.

Hope you all have the best day possible, look after yourselves.

Hello Bellasnana we are missing the tennis too ! ?

Morning Mick and All.

Dry brightening up day here in South Bucks.

So pleased grandMattie you have the go ahead for your DGD’s operation. ?

I too have lots of silliness with my eldest DGS Dwm it’s such fun. He plays the waiter and asks for my meal orders for the whole of the day then he finds the icons on FaceTime and posts them on the screen. So of course I order an ice-cream cone for breakfast ?. I treasure these moments and replay them in my head.

Did my first WI Zoom yesterday. A couple of hours later a friend in Venice text to say she saw me on the screen! I had no idea she would be there too.

Good morning from a cloudy Malta.

Good news about your DGD’s op, grandMattie although her comment brought a lump to my throat. Bless her, what a courageous little girl.?

Scentia what a lovely, supportive mum you are. Your DD is lucky to have you.?

No plans today apart from going to buy milk at the corner shop. In fact I’m feeling much as GrannyGravy describes, so many wasted days, no travel to see loved ones and no prospect of it any time soon.☹️

Wishing everyone as good a day as possible.☀️☀️

Good morning from a damp and miserable looking Essex by the sea. Food shopping this morning and some sewing later.
The saga with the delivery goes on, it looks like it has been sent back to the company I purchased it from. You couldn't make this up, I won't bore you with the mundane details.
Grandmattie good news about your DGD, I wish her well.
Have a pleasant Thursday and stay safe everyone xx

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a very frosty South Yorkshire. I was awake at some ridiculous hour full of cold and needing a hot drink, so here I am watching the sun rise. As it is set to be a nice day we will go out later this morning for a midday walk as we have to be in this afternoon. A hot roast pork sandwich from the butchers near the park will constitute an al fresco lunch. Salad for tea. I have to start taking blood pressure readings for the surgery as they have had to cancel my MoT appointment. Everyone, it seems, is busy self isolating, so DiY NHS. Have a good safe day folks.

Good Morning everyone from a wild, warm and windy S of France.

Gales shook and rattled the shutters sufficiently to ruin my sleep. I shall doubtless survive the day....Just as long as I don’t sit down anywhere comfortable.

What a positive ray of sunshine you are, Scentia bet you made your DD feel so much happier. How lovely that you can be designated Knicker Lady, Mattie Every wish for a perfect outcome for a brave little soul.

I’m up and off to take advantage of this very early start....for me!
All and any with pain or problems, stress or sadness - hope you have a better day. Take care all, keep safe.

Hugs ?????‍♀️????

Good morning Mick and all

Just brightening up her in S E Essex, no plans for today. Brilliant news GrandMattie regarding your DGC.

When I go to bed tonight it will be the the 365 consecutive night in my own bed, no holidays, weekend breaks or overnight and friends or family for first time in my lifetime!!!!!!!! Oh how I am getting angrier,
frustrated and more upset each day this curse of a virus continues......................

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️
