Good morning from the Scottish Borders. Mild and still so far but winds are due.
Thanks Beechnut for reminding me about the car. I was told I have a rear light not working. All these things I have to attend to now I'm on my own.
After much indecision I have bought a new cooker. It arrives tomorrow but won't be installed just yet.
Sorry to hear about aches and pains on here.
Momb you are in for a busy weekend.
I hope it's fun ?

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s dark and wet but there is a band of rose pink over to the east so the sunrise is here. Can’t see the Pennines this morning, too much heavy grey cloud.

I’m up early with a cuppa in preparation for going over at 8am to mind L’il Miss but just had a text “rotten night, coughing ++ in bed with us, temp 38.9°C. Am staying home with her mum think she should see doctor. Just rung Head he’s not happy but what can I do?”

To be honest I’m relieved. It’s a big responsibility looking after a poorly child. I said I’d go round later to give support and bring hot filter coffees! Poor daughter had hardly any sleep last night. No PCR test result yet although she thinks it will be negative. Hope so. Fingers crossed.

Good morning all from a still dark North Leicestershire- I'm sure there is some weather but I can't see it.

Our cleaner is coming this morning, we have some tiles being delivered, the butcher will drop our meat off and I need to go to the village to collect a light up reindeer head!

DD2 and Co will arrive tonight as everyone is off to the street fair tomorrow

Good Morning from Severnside. It’s dark and wet. Only a few more weeks until it starts to get lighter once again.

My friends that moved away came to visit yesterday. We swopped stories about aches and pains and did some laughing, so good to see them.

I see my wfp has dropped into my bank account overnight with a message and also email about festive scammers.

Refuelling today for both myself and car with a trip to the garage to arrange a service.

Have the best day you can all ???

Good morning all. My DH's family are coming to stay this weekend -7 of them! From 78 down to 9. So must get up soon and do some cooking and finish the cleaning. Hoping the weather is dry and we can get out plenty Hope everyone has the best day possible.

Good morning from a dark .e Kent.
Had a worse night than usual, Polly, and am up later than usual.
We had the great joy of DGS suddenly inviting himself over for dinner and the night. We went through some of his dad’s stuff. I’m bribing him with a cooked breakfast and the fact that he can sleep an extra hour before leaving for college in Canterbury in the hope he might visit more often!
Spanish class went really well, as one of the students was on holiday, one had to leave at half time. It left two of us. We worked extra hard but it was really good.
Having to take a LFT in order to visit my grumpy old friend in the nursing home later. Not looking forward to it.
Hope today brings relief and courage to all those in need, especially GG, hG, GS …. Everyone else, have a good day. ???☀️?☀️☀️?☀️??

Sorry to disappoint Pant no ingrown toenail to remove, no cards yet either just lots of fierce wind coming your way - no rude comments thank you

Morning Mick from a damp north Wales where the chamberpot ☕️ is hot and steaming.....oh I do love my double entendres?

Sad to read of so many with family unwell ? and I do miss Friday Girl, Grandmafrench and the crumpet Queen - hope it’s just a break they’re having!

Some financial finagling for me this morning- I need to check my State Pension is being processed for next month as apparently there have been delays ? - shall have my sulking head on if I have to wait any longer than six years.....

Will pop back later to see if my ? needs opening - any occasion will do folks, ingrown toenail removal, arrival of first Xmas card....?

Good morning Mick and all from Anglesey.
This is the earliest I’ve been up in a while. Pitch black and windy out there.
Not too warm either, thinking I might go back to bed.
Hope GrannyGravy you’ve had some rest and are feeling better while you await good news for you daughter-in-law.
Hope little miss is okay Urms and hasn’t coughed all night.
No doubt you’re their typing away as I write grandMattie, ever the early bird.
Hope you’re feeling better Georgesgran and anyone else with the lurgy.
Hope your back is not too troublesome GrannySomerset.
Keep on keeping on Harrigran, you’re doing well.
Hope for no further nose bleeds Jaxjacky.
Have a good day all, I may pop back when I’ve had a bit more sleep ? .
