Good Morning Everyone,
Its a dark and wet start here in brackley this morning , and I woke up with the start of continuous nose bleed , lucky all under control .
Today, I plan to get a early bus to Bicester and have a couple of hours there as its market day .
Take Care,
Mick

Sorry, folks, to have misled you! I added the cake photo to show the use of the word “welding”. Thank you for your kind wishes which I will save until October when we shall celebrate our seventh anniversary! (no itches yet….!) ?

Good morning all from soggy wet Harrogate
Not a comfortable way to wake up Mick but you are better now and ready for your trip out.
Yesterday sounds like a nightmare GrandMattie You will be glad it’s over, hope tomorrow is not as bad.
Yesterday got my mini microphone working and what a difference it makes! I didn’t know my hearing was so bad!
Today hoping for 3rd time lucky. I should have a telephone appointment with the consultant about my condition - fingers crossed!!
Well, the day is finally here Marydoll I’m sure you will make the most of it and enjoy every minute. Do they still do scrambles at weddings in Scotland?
Have the best day you can folks!

Dull and drizzly here in Cheshire.
I sympathise with that drive GrandMattie
Hate driving in the dark. I had to do it last night coming home from choir. It was dark , raining , the road is twisty and someone behind me was trying to make me speed up ! Was relieved to get home.
Two youngest GC after school today.
Keep hoping we get some positive news from Ukraine but it seems unlikely.

Good morning all from Polmont. It's only 4° and damp but forecast to brighten up.
Mick I haven't had a nosebleed for a long time. That must have been disconcerting. Grandmattie what a difficult day for you. Marydoll all my best wishes for the wedding today. Have a lovely time.
Yesterday my friend cancelled coffee so I had an extremely lazy day. Today will be the opposite as dd will be in after playgroup with the boys and there will be no rest for me! They'll stay for lunch so a trip to Aldi will be needed. Bacon rolls for us. Have a good day all.

Good morning all and it’s a bit grey here in Essex.

I sympathise with you GM - I hate driving now. . You did well! ?

Ash I love the idea of a welding ?.

Marydoll enjoy the day! ?‍♀️?.

It’s Dressup day for little gd. Book day yesterday but the infants always have it the day after. She’ll be Goldilocks for the day.
Her mum took her to see Matilda in London last night, so she’ll be tired this morning.

We’ll meet our old pals at the pub for lunch today as we haven’t seen them for a few weeks. Nice to catch up! Maybe pay a visit to Hyde Hall for an hour before. It’s close to the pub so a short visit is ideal.

I hope you all have a nice day. ???

ShazzaKanazza Fri 04-Mar-22 08:06:02

Marydoll absolutely love that dress. Have the best day.

Scentia Fri 04-Mar-22 08:10:37

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is wet!
Mary I bet you will look beautiful. Have a lovely day and take care of yourself.
DH was a star at Rehab yesterday, it was so reassuring to go, they understood his need to get running and cycling again and were very positive that will happen soon. They said if he wasn’t so fit, the HA he had would have killed him. All those years of me moaning he does too much, needless to say, he had the last laugh❤️

Marydoll Fri 04-Mar-22 08:11:58

Scentia, I'm so glad to hear that! That was my saviour too, a healthy lifestyle, apart from the chocolate!

aggie Fri 04-Mar-22 08:12:06

Good Morning everyone, especially Marydoll ????‍♀️

Good morning everyone from a very damp Northampton. Nevertheless I am still determined to get out for my weekly outing to the shops. I shall have a mooch around and a coffee and light lunch in the M&S Cafe, and pick up the one or two things that Sainsburys didn't deliver yesterday. May have a browse around Next, and the Sainsbury's clothes section..... It really does me good to have a change of scenery.

Coffee with my friend after ballet yesterday, and then went to the ticket office at my rugby club, where they assured me that renewal of my season ticket was all in hand. I logged into the site yesterday evening, and sure enough, there it was, so no worries. Don't know why I couldn't access it last week.

Hope today goes well Marydoll, how lovely for you. Looking forward to hearing all about it.

Wishing all well today.

FannyCornforth Fri 04-Mar-22 08:20:09

Hello again!
Oh have I missed the dress!?
I will have to look at yesterday’s GM thread.
I’m rather confused this morning.

Have a fabulous, fabulous day Mary! xxx

Grandmadinosaur Fri 04-Mar-22 08:22:14

Good morning from East Yorkshire where it is a lousy day with rain.
After a bad nights sleep I then slept in. I blame it on the sugar after eating birthday cake too late. Thank you for the birthday wishes for DH yesterday. GS came running out of school with a card he’d made for him after telling his teacher it was Grandads birthday!
So today I have laundry to do, a delivery to collect from M&S and toiletries to buy.

Wishing you the most wonderful day Marydoll and I look forward to hearing all about the wedding.
Take care everyone

Morning Mick and all

It’s grey here in S E Essex.

Wishing you and your son a wonderful wedding day Marydoll , enjoy.

We have a busy day ahead as DD is moving into her new home today, our eldest son has been an absolute angel setting up the TV’s and internet etc.

Keep safe and well folks ??‍♀️

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Chrissielou Fri 04-Mar-22 08:44:43

A grey dreary damp start in Oxfordshire. Hurray it's Friday! Marydoll I hope you have a
wonderful day, your heart will be brimming with pride I'm sure.
Nothing exciting happening for me today apart from work, picking up click/collect and a dog walk.
Hoping for some sunshine for all.

GrannySomerset Fri 04-Mar-22 08:49:03

Thinking of Marydoll and wishing her a joyous day. She could do with our weather - lovely spring-like morning so hope it lasts. Out for coffee with friends this morning, family arriving later today in preparation for my big birthday weekend away with most of my nearest and dearest.

The news is so terrifying this morning that it seems irresponsible to be thinking of pleasure, but there is nothing I can do except live the life I have.

Good morning Mick, morning all from sunny South Lanarkshire.

Nosebleeds are unpleasant Mick, enjoy the rest of your day.

Glad to hear that the appointments went well yesterday for MrMattie and MrScentia.

stilllearning I hope you enjoyed the concert, sometimes our adult children forget that we are adults and capable ones at that.

May blessings rain upon your DS and his bride Marydoll. Have a wonderful day. ?

Happy moving day to your DD GG13.

I’ve no real plans today other than pottering and dog walking.

Have the best day possible everyone. ??

Millie22 Fri 04-Mar-22 08:53:34

Good morning from leafy Leicestershire. Just popped on to send love and best wishes to Marydoll for today ???

harrigran Fri 04-Mar-22 08:54:14

Good morning from a grey and damp NE.
Successful meeting with the financial advisor, paperwork all sorted and I can probably relax now.
SIL and I had dinner together and watched the interview with Sir Ian McKellen on TV.
DD went to visit her foster cat who has been living with a neighbour while she has been in the UK, she says she has got quite tubby. I think she needs to earn her keep by going home and chasing the mice.
Have a lovely day Marydoll.

Juno56 Fri 04-Mar-22 09:02:20

I don't usually post on this thread but I do read sometimes. I just wanted to wish Marydoll and family the happiest of days. X

Chris3 Fri 04-Mar-22 09:02:24

Good morning from wet South Yorkshire. Only shopping planned today before picking up the grandchildren from school. Wishing you a really lovely day Marydoll xx

EkwaNimitee Fri 04-Mar-22 09:03:13

Good morning Mick and everyone from grey damp Carlisle.

I do hope it's not too damp in Glasgow...I wish you all a very happy wedding day, Marydoll.

No serious exertions planned here today, some minor housework and then I must get down to booking trains and a hotel for my trip to London at the end of the month. I still can't make my mind up about having an extra day to do some sightseeing. At the moment I can't summon up too much enthusiasm for the idea but wonder if I will regret not doing it once I'm there.
Other than that it will be a pottering about sort of day, there's plenty to amuse myself with.
Wishing you all a good day and a bit of sun.

ShazzaKanazza Fri 04-Mar-22 09:19:31

FannyCornforth, did you see the little teaser pic of Marydolls dress on today it looks hand painted so beautiful can’t wait to see the full outfit ?

Jaxjacky Fri 04-Mar-22 09:21:02

Good Morning from a grey, damp S Hants, late for me, we had a delicious lie in.
Sorting out lifts today for those who called yesterday, Tesco will deliver later and pub tonight.
I’ll have to read all your posts with my second cup of Tree.
Have a good day all ??.

luluaugust Fri 04-Mar-22 09:23:33

Good morning all from a miserable wet W Kent. DH has a busy day with hospital appointments, I hope to briefly see a friend. Enjoy your day Marydoll, love the dress material.
