Good Morning Friday 12th November 2021

Happy birthday ? ? ? olddudders.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It’s dreary out there today. DH has an optician’s appointment this morning and while he is there I will go to M&S and buy some of their lovely clementine mincemeat (if they have it this year). Then on to Sainsburys. DS and DiL are coming down this weekend so some housecleaning will be on the agenda later!
Momb you have quite a houseful! Hope it goes well!
Ash A very Happy Birthday to OD! ??
Have a good day, one and all.

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester.
Waiting in for the components for our new bathroom to be delivered and hoping they'll fit in the space we've cleared.
We then need to hit the supermarket as we've got DGS1 and 3 overnight and need to do the school run. DD1 has been invited to lots of postponed weddings this year and many are on weekdays.

Sending love to all x

Happy Birthdays MrAshcombe and oldudders have a lovely day both ????.
L’il Miss is having a bad run lately Urms something seems to be lurking, let’s hope it’s sorted quickly.

Good morning all- it seems fair here in N Bucks, but I’ll be honest, I haven’t actually looked outside yet.
Got to pick up a pair of hair straighteners (my hairdressers suggestion) I ordered from John Lewis at Waitrose this morning. I dare say I might be tempted to do what Mick calls “a small shop” as it is my spiritual home.
Then book group this afternoon. They will be trying to arrange a Christmas lunch. I must be the only person who really does not care for these- I don’t want another overpriced “turkey and all the trimmings” and would much rather go out for a meal in January when, let’s face it, there’s not much else going on, it’s easier to get a booking and a better choice of menu. Bah humbug!
Wishing you all a pleasant day.

Good morning from an overcast NE with a promise of rain later.
DD and SIL got a lot of admin work done yesterday for which I am very grateful. Some of the paperwork may as well be written in Klingon for all the sense it makes
My sister will call in today before she travels to Northumberland for a wedding, apparently taking place in an open sided barn.
Hope the poorly people are soon on the road to recovery.

Good morning from Shropshire.

Just waiting for DD to drop Henry off or as she put it I will have to throw him in the door mum as I have to be back to take M to school.Normally SIL does the school run while DD drives over here but he is busy at the farm this morning.

Happy birthday to olddudders??

Lovely news that your grandson stayed mattie and that you are doing the school run Mary?

Hoping that L’il Miss can be seen by the dr Urms.

Thinking of all with illness, worries and struggles and thinking as well of all our missing good morning friends.

Pants, you may need another bottle,we got our first Christmas card yesterday?

??

Good morning all. It’s a damp , grey start in East Yorkshire.
Late here today. Fell back to sleep and when I woke my tea had gone cold ?.

I enjoyed the theatre yesterday. It felt good to be back. The part of Billy Flynn was played by Darren Day who was excellent. If I hadn’t known I wouldn’t have recognised him . He is a real silver fox these days!

My only plans for today are a food shop at some point and collect dgs from school. We are going out for tea to a pub with a nice play area so it works out easy for us we just have to sit there!

Yesterday I found the rail in my wardrobe had broken and clothes all over the place. I’ve known it was coming for a while as it groaned every time I rewarded it with something new ? so a job for his lordship at the weekend.

Sorry your granddaughter is unwell again the poor lamb Urms I hope she can get to see a Dr.
Happy birthday to Olddudders

Thoughts to others with worries, health issues etc. ?

Take care.

Oops I forgot to say it will be the highlight of the day Marydoll collecting your granddaughter. Enjoy !

Good morning Mick, morning all from wet and breezy South Lanarkshire.

Good to hear about your grandson’s visit Mattie and your school pick up Marydoll, these little things mean so much.

You’re going to be busy MOMB!
Happy birthday to Olddudders.

I’m late this morning, must get a move on and get ready for my shift in the charity shop, I hope the wet weather doesn’t keep people away.

Highs and lows on the thread this morning, sending good wishes to everyone.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day and may you find a ?or two along the way.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. Light cloud and breezy in Suffolk this morning. DGD has tested positive for Covid but doesn’t seem unwell. ?
Happy Birthday to OD - plenty of fizz? ?
Today I shall experiment with Homity Pie. Cheese and potatoes - what’s not to like? ?
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

The PCR test was negative for L’il Miss. Mum thought it would be and just had text confirmation.

Happy birthday Olddudders ???

Good news Urmston although this cold is horrendous. Hope she is better soon.

Good morning from North Wales. Damp and dreary here.
I am hobbling around with a very sore back today. I just want to sit but that is not advised .
Hope L'il miss gets some treatment soon Urmston.
Sounds like the nasty virus my GS had last week.
Have a good day GNs.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Thanks everyone for your kind wishes. Much appreciated. x

Good morning Mick and all from a dull Lancashire coast.
Off to art group soon but not happy with my acrylic painting, might statt again, then on to run through for Xmas concerts.
Feeling lazy though, will feel better when I get going.
Wrote a letter to housebound sister in law yesterday, enjoy writing letters. I can organise my thoughts and not keen on the phone. She doesn’t FaceTime which I prefer.
Ordered clothes for GDs birthday online, but of a faff, but done.
Wishing you all a good day, will read through later.

Good morning everyone from a very damp and windy Northampton. Felt chilly when I got up so put the heating on when I got downstairs.

Planning to go out to the shops this morning; I have an order to pick up from M&S and a Christmas jumper order from Sainsbury's; was rather hoping the other dresses I ordered would be in, but no sign of them yet. Shall have a coffee (and cake) in Marks, then a mooch around the other shops in our little retail park.

Was pleased with my other dress from Sainsbury's that arrived this week; tried it on yesterday morning. Will wear it with black tights and boots to DGD's birthday lunch on Sunday. I have a bright yellow handbag which will go with it well. I am still tempted by the orange bag I saw in town on Tuesday, and may have to go back and get it.......

Curry (home-made) from the freezer for tonight's dinner, so no cooking today. Will give me time to get stuck into my new read for book club this afternoon.

I noticed that there is a programme about Laura Ingalls Wilder on tv this evening (on PBS America, channel 84 freeview), which looks good. I loved Little House on the Prairie.

Happy birthday ? olddudders! And wishing all a happy day.

Good morning all from the Black country, sun is shining and washing on.
Late up this morning slept for over 7hrs with no middle of the night disturbance from DH.
Lovely evening at the theatre really enjoyed the performance.
Haven't read through yet will come back later.
Best wishes to anyone celebrating and virtual hugs where needed.
Have the best Friday you can and may you all find some ?.

I’m pleased about the test Urms hope she feels better soon .

Good news on the test result Urns.
Family in Belfast looking to move FIL to a hospice, just had an update.

Wishing olddudders a very Happy Birthday today! ????

??? for Susan56 first Xmas card ? - just waiting on the removal of ingrown toenail award and my fizz stash will need replenishing!

If the orange handbag is still there BlueSapphire you’re meant to buy it....I live by that motto ?

Good luck Mick and all, from rainy Lancashire. I’m enjoying my morning tea in bed, will get up shortly.. Not much planned other than daily exercises and a bit of housework. I must tidy up my sewing things and attempt to finish some projects.

Have a good Friday, hugs to all who need them and cheers to all celebrating. I’m going flamingo hunting ??
