Good Morning Tuesday

I’m not having a colour session Susan. Just a cut & blow today. I’m hoping to be in Spain in 8 weeks (?) and like the way the salon over there does my foils. Ash-blonde highlights which don’t go brassy in the hot sun. Whenever I’ve had colours done over here I end up with yellow hair - not a good look especially when it’s cost me a fortune! Like you though, I’m not going to have it cut or treated quite so regularly. One of a few lifestyle changes I’ve decided on during this pandemic. I’ve re-evaluated my needs.

Good morning all from dull Harrogate
Today DH has a hospital appointment with a dietitian who is trying to fatten him up. It’s a waste of time cause if he doesn’t like it he won’t do it!!
Good to see you today Mary hope the day brightens for you.
Yesterday I made a batch of scones they freeze well and taste good when thawed out!
I started doing ‘diamond’ painting. A present I had been given. Oh, I find it so tedious - I’d rather stick needles in my eyes!!!
Urms I generally pay £50+ to have a cut and blow dry - it’s worth it to get a skilled stylist who knows how to turn my birds nest into a style!! My hair is flyaway stuff on my head.
Keep well everyone. Hope to pop back later

Good morning from wet and windy Cheshire. Tried to post on my Tablet this morning but must have done something stupid ( never ! ) as , not only did it not appear , but I had to log in again on my desk top.
Have only had time to read a few posts so will come back later. Have the best day you can everyone.

Morning Mick, morning All. The sky looks like November, dark clouds moving too quickly to count.

Not sure what’s ahead today other than finishing the grocery order. Happily swap your furniture hunt for our car hunt greyd, I fear Mr C will want to revisit a car showroom. We’ve never dithered so much over changing a vehicle.

I’m sorry you’ve had so much worry quaintirene, hope your roof can be sorted very soon. Go gently marydoll, rest when you can. Wishing the soon to be operated on pets a speedy recovery. Safe travels all who are venturing forth.

Take care everyone, hope Tuesday is gentle with us all.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good Morning All x.
Wet and windy is the only way to describe what I see outside. I was going to walk through the cemetery to Asda but I don't think I'll bother. There's no direct transport from where I am only a taxi of course but both ways doesn't leave much change from £10. Don't mind paying for just the return journey with the groceries. I do need to shop though.

Ordered my kettle online but the matching toaster order doesn't want to play at all, it highlights to buy but does nothing else---I'm not good when it comes to something not working, I expect things yesterday ! I go into Meldrew mode

Watched Andre Rieu last night on the Sky Arts channel, so lovely as usual. It was marking his 70th birthday and the whole show was brilliant. I'd gone to bed to watch but as usual couldn't keep my eyes open to the end but what I did see was very calming.

Hoping the dogs get on okay today at the vet, they're as important as we are when facing procedures or treatment.

Marydoll hope things pick up for you as it's rotten when you have off-days and wondering how long they'll last. x.

Hope also that QuaintIrene has some success at the bank so that roof work can commence. Fingers crossed.

I haven't heard from D lately so I don't know whether that's a good thing or not----you'd never really know with her she can be quite deep. Good job I'm not a demanding person !

Crumpet time so keep well everyone and stay safe, hope the day goes well for all xx

Morning from S Lanarkshire, dry at the moment but very grey.
Very fed up yesterday but I made myself do some much needed housework and it did help.

Gingster I thought our surgery was bad but having to go and queue before 7am? That’s really bad, glad you got an appointment at least.

Sorry you’re feeling so rotten Marydoll, I hope the day brings improvement ?..

Safe journey home brook, you got the best of the weather for your time with your family, that was great. Enjoy that lovely run up the east coast (if that’s your route).

Cut and blow dry £45 here, I’m leaving mine longish for now but I’ll see: it still needs tidied!

Wishing everyone a good day; especially those feeling under the weather.?

I get pensioners rates during the week Urmston but it is still £49! Spanish hairdressers are the best in my opinion.

Had a look at the hairdresser's website "Urmston* and guess that you modelled for the second photo down.

My salon is all newly qualified stylists who home their skills on us before going on to bigger and better things. They charge £32 for cut and finish and offer loyalty discounts on this.
A new mobile service has just advertised here and she is charging £30 and using your electricity and water!!!!
At least I'm saving the £8 DH used to pay by giving him a number 2 all over myself.

Sending a gentle hug to Marydoll.

Good morning all from a windy Black country. Not a lot planned for today will make some soup have some sweet potatoes that need using up. That seems a lot for a cut and blow Urmstongran but perhaps you'll get a glass of champagne with it. Hope Dexter's op goes ok. Have a good all.

Hope both doggies are ok after their ops .Good luck with your bank Quaintirene.Safe journeys to all travelling today .*Marydoll*and all not feeling good ? .it will be good to see Dd Harrigran .
It's a wet and windy day here today so walk looking doubtful .Take care everyone.

I had my cut, high/low lights and wash, blow dry at a small hairdressers in my road, £110!! Nothing fancy, not even a cup of tea and a biscuits.

That makes me feel better GG13! ?

Good Morning to you all from an extremely breezy Cambs.,
after a wet day yesterday at the Norfolk coast, we came home to Cambs., last night.

I've only been away since Saturday, & missed lots of your news on here.
Belated Birthday wishes for Mick, Gwenisgreat & Nannytopsy, too.
Sorry to hear you've been poorly dragonfly, hope you are feeling better. All the best for Dexter today.

Safe journey home Brook, you've made lots of happy memories of your week with your Cambridge family.

Thinking of Mary, AuntieFlo, harrigran in these difficult times.

I'm sorry not to mention all in need, but I get names muddled, so apologies to you.

Warm wishes to you all,

Yep that’s exactly right stilllearning once I get on the train in London it’s a direct route all the way up the east coast and then a bit in the middle to Inverness ?

Morning all. A good day to everyone. Made scones and have rearranged stuff round the house. We are doing a long drawn out declutter. We have no deadline. Stuff went to charity shops yesterday. All good quality hardback books. Three bags of clothing to clothing bank. Heavy rain here but forecast for improvement. Took part in a Teams meeting yesterday. So lovely to have interactions with people ! Have the best day possible.x

Good morning all from chilly, cloudy, windy Lancashire. Not raining right now, so we are going out! Yesterday’s aborted garden centre visit is taking place today, followed by a trip to the new B&M stores that has opened nearby. We know how to live the high .life here! Will catch upon your posts later, sending love to all.

Morning all, it is really bleak out there, and the wind yesterday was incredible. DD came round with the new puppy and DGC so cats retreated upstairs for the duration. not sure I want to go out in this.

Do hope you start to feel better really soon Marydoll
Tales of haircuts amused me, I get a 'special' price of £72 from my hairdresser as I have been going to her for over 30 years, dread to think what her normal fees are!
I have finished DGS's tractor jumper at last, now just need an invitation to take it to him. Little Olive will have grown quite a bit by then and perhaps uncurled a bit!

Good morning, Mick and All from a grey, cool but currently dry Carlisle.
I started off the morning trying to change my address with various organisations. The DVLA has proved impossible, not recognising my postcode nor my address when entered manually. I’m on the Royal Mail database now, why can’t these public organisations update like the private ones have?! Had to email them in the hopes of avoiding a phone call which will probably mean hanging on the phone for ages and ages, especially as they have a strike on this week. Grrrr!
I hope you improve today, Marydoll and are good for tomorrow.
Take care and have a best possible day everyone.

Trolls trolling again

Good Morning Mick and all. A little calmer and sunnier in Cornwall.
Take it easy and enjoy the company today Marydoll.
Urmston What a variety of prices for our hair do's. It's my long awaited appointment on Thursday. £30 wash, cut and dried. Usually just have a dry cut but want to indulge this time.
Having layers back?✂️ Taking the photo of my hair on wedding day, five years ago, as I want the same length. Same hairdresser did it then.
Enjoy the swim Beechnut.
GrandMattie It's lovely to hear about visits to care homes and nursing homes. I'm glad normality has finally come back for them.
Jax I hope the big click is good news too.
Ellianne I agree about the hotels. We missed out on our short break to Bryher (Isles of Scilly) last week to celebrate my 70th birthday treat from 2019. Roll on April 2022.
Another book sounds a good idea Oopsadaisy1. Take care.

Back outside today to put those plants in. MrM says car could be ready today. Then I'll drive 20 miles (minus propshaft) to pick up the rubbery thing for it. It's times like this I wish I lived near a bus or train route. Only done the taxi once into nearest town - £20 one way.

Had a good night's sleep. MrM and I swapped sides. Hip OK so it's looking like it is the mattress. Think I've proved a point with him now.

Hoping for some good news from son this week. He must be really anxious about finding work now even though he says he isn't. It's 6 weeks. Also hope they get news from the hospital about granddaughter.
????for everyone including those pets.

Good morning Mick and all from Windy Ways northwest Lancashire coast. Have missed a couple of days so will catch up with all your news later.
This very quiet life is getting me down, all work and no play etc. Well not much work, just about to start another book by Dorothy Whipple, a favourite author, Two Sisters, which was made into a film, then off to post a book (its all books at the mo) to my sister in law just out of hospital in the south.
The Hoover is going to be fixed hopefully at a small independent shop I frequent and my son arrives tomorrow to pull out the dishwasher so we can follow the YouTube hints. Thanks LadyO for tip but I have tried that restart with no joy.
Spoke to a close friend on FaceTime and she has had her face threaded at great expense, aged 61, she looks 35 and fabulous! I might be repeating myself here.
I’m not keeping up with my usual maintenance as I’m not going anywhere but the charity shop in a mask...it’s depressing me now ?
Thoughts to harrigran, Cherry Marydoll the new arrivals, new babbies and anyone with worries.

Hope Freddie soon recovers from his op.
Thinking of you Marydoll. Sending ? and a hug.

Good Morning all, the sun fooled e this morning and I had to go back for a coat before popping round to the shop , then I had forgotten my mask so back for that !
I got my hair cut wash and blow dry for £25 , a bargain !
