Morning everyone from a 5.3c south coast. At least there's no frost.
It's WI this afternoon and I have been looking forward to seeing my chums there. Not sure about driving as my head is still a bit whoozy but DH will act as my chauffeur if required.
Glad the legal stuff is finally almost sorted Mattie and you can move ahead with things. It has not been easy for you and your family with all the uncertainty.
Have the best day you can everyone. 
Good morning from a dull Black Country.
Yesterdays visit to Audiology proved very fruitful. The tests showed that my hearing had deteriorated slightly over the past 5 years. I was offered new aids which connects to blue tooth on my phone. So the sound when I am talking on the phone goes straight to the aids! It’s absolutely brilliant. The difference is amazing, no more saying “I missed that, can you repeat” 
So grateful I can have these on NHS.
Met friends for lunch later, a good chatty afternoon.
Today is walk with a small local group (started on FB). We meet every other Thursday.
I can almost feel your relief grandMattie 
Wishing you all the best day possible
Good morning everyone from a dry grey Northampton, 4°C today. Delivery from Sainsburys between 10-11am, and must get the towels in the washing machine before then.
Ballet class this afternoon, then a coffee and chat with a friend afterwards.
Phoned the doctor yesterday as I have been feeling rather low lately, and she put me back on the medication I only came off in November. I felt so well back then I thought I could do without it, but the GP thought I had come off it too soon. She also booked me in for routine blood test and blood pressure check as it has been well over a year since my last checks.
Hoping for a good day for all.
Good morning Mick and all from a showery Glasgow, where it is currently 3°C. It must have been very cold during the night, the heating kicked in at 3am.
A very warm welcome to Ali23 and GM, you must be very relieved that at last, things can get moving.
Yesterday's journey back from the hen do was horrendous. At one point the wipers couldn't cope with the sleet and the road was treacherous. I was thinking of Soop, whose journey, must have been even worse.
DD decided to cut across to the M74, which would take fifteen minutes off our journey. Unfortunately, despite me warning her, ( Mr MD has previous for this) she took the wrong lane at a huge junction and we managed a sightseeing tour of a number of small towns in Lanarkshire.
She insisted on following the satnav, which was taking her, here, there and everywhere, but not back onto the motorway. At one point, she was on the motorway, heading south, instead of north!?
Eventually, I recognised where we were, (she hadn't a clue), having been there on a charity shop trawl with the Ebay queen) and insisted that she listen to me. Five minutes later, we were on the correct motorway and on our way home.
I had a fabulous time at the hen do, everyone got on so well. I felt as safe as I could be, because everyone had done lateral flows, before coming and also daily during our stay. It was so good to socialise again.
The company was excellent and I was spoiled rotten.
Unknown to me, DS2 had contacted DIL's four sisters and asked them to make sure I didn't overdo things. (As if!) They told me that they had been expecting a frail old lady. ?
Every meal was a feast and they wouldn't allow me to lift a finger. I was actually embarrassed that I wasn't pulling my weight.
The entertainment was as good as any West End show.
A drag queen competition was organised, with teams and a group leader.
I hadn't been listening properly and agreed to be a team leader, not realising I would be dressed up as a drag queen and have to lip sync a famous song.
DD told her team not to worry, as I wouldn't have a clue. Oh how wrong she was.
She had forgotten how I used to dress up and entertain my colleagues in school. Of course, I won! ?
DH said I looked like, Anita Manning from Bargain Hunt!
Later on, we had a murder mystery night, where I turned out to be the murder of my husband.
I managed to maintain a slightly dodgy cockney accent throughout, only occasionally lapsing into a mixture of American and Irish. My sides ached from laughing. What a tonic, it was.
Apart from a phone call from my GP today to check up on me, I haven't much planned. Not unexpectedly, my pain levels are very high and I am pretty wiped out after the shenanigans. I was in my pyjamas by teatime and in bed by 8 pm last night, which is unheard of.
Baubles, enjoy your day and wrap up well. It was freezing in the East yesterday.
For those in the sick bay ( Fanny, I hope your pain levels are down) , wishing you a gentle day. ?
Enjoy your day everyone, whatever your plans.
PS. Some of the guest were doing a squat challenge. One guest, stopped three times on her drive from Wales to fulfill it.
You can see DD is really embarrassed by her mothers antics!
