Its a grey but dry start here in brackley this morning.
Busy start today , do a small shop , and then get a taxi booked to take to my surgery for my blood test this morning.

Lovely to see you back Urms - welcome x

Urmstongran Fri 24-Jun-22 20:08:25

Oh just seen all your lovely comments ladies! Aw thank you. It really means a lot to me. I was shocked to find I’d been suspended & I’ve been warned that if there’s a ‘next time’ I’m banned. I’ve had my fingers truly burned and to be honest I lost my confidence a bit when it happened.

Anyhoo - upwards and onwards eh?

Ps I’ve just had a peek in my wardrobe again and got a frisson of joy!
I kept thinking about all the space in there this afternoon. (Well, intermittently - I'm not THAT sad!).

As you quite rightly say GrannySonerset my decluttering was about ‘being honest’. It’s taken me years to get a grip. I’d honestly recommend it. I’ve become a bit evangelical....

I'm afraid to report that I bought another t-shirt today........ And saw a lovely jump-suit in Next, but sadly they don't do it in short fitting.......which I need, as I'm 5ft nothing.

Welcome back Urmston, we've missed you!

Thank you for setting a good example, Urms, and welcome back. I need to follow your wardrobe clearing example and you have encouraged me to be a bit more truthful with myself.

Urms you’ve returned from the pub at last I see. ? welcome back.
Hope Marydoll is ok.

ShazzaKanazza Fri 24-Jun-22 15:02:13

Great to have you back Urms. Hello again Matt.
Hope Marydoll is ok it’s unusual for her to not post.

GrannyGravy13 Fri 24-Jun-22 13:15:06

So good to have you back Urmstongran ???

Be careful ?

Urmstongran Fri 24-Jun-22 12:50:10

Here’s Matt.

A very late good morning everyone from me. I’ve just been allowed back after my suspension. I’ve missed you all on this lovely thread. I’m sorry to hear Mick that you’ve had bad news from your GP surgery. I hope it’s not as bad as you fear.

I’ve been busy culling clothes from my wardrobe. I’ve got bags to take down in the lift to the charity shop this afternoon. I’ve got rid of 3/4 of what I had in my wardrobe - most of which I love but can’t wriggle into any more. If I lose weight I’ll treat myself to some new stuff but tell you what, it’s cathartic! Less is definitely more. At least now when I open the wardrobe what’s in there (a) fits and (b) I like.

Good morning from West Sussex. Cloudy today so maybe a bit cooler - I hope so as I have a long list of things I must do. This is not because I am an industrious or busy person but because I have procrastinated too much recently ?
I did make a bit of an impact on the garden on Tuesday so now, when I earn a coffee break I can enjoy sitting in it.

I have never been to Llandudno - I must suggest it to DH. Quite a long way from us but we could divert there on our regular trips to and from Scotland.

Hope for a better day for the GMs, Marydoll and all struggling.

Good morning,
It’s bright but not very sunny here today, and feels quite muggy. We have rain forecast for this afternoon, but I hope it waits until I get back from the hairdresser.

Your garden looks very pretty, GM. Such beautiful pots. I’ll be pottering around in my garden shortly to do a bit of deadheading and general tidying.

Best wishes to you all.

Good morning all from a sunny Stockport.
A very rare poster but a daily reader I just had to post today after the remarks about Llandudno.
One of my very favourite places.
We had a static caravan just a few miles away for 9 wonderful years until my H started his dementia journey.
I never ever tired of the place it was so lovely.
I have just visited once since staying for two nights on the way back from Dublin.
Would love to visit once more.
Kindest thoughts and sincerest best wishes to all who have problems themselves and ailing loved ones.

Good morning Mick and all from Ibiza. Leaving later today, so enjoying our last healthy breakfast of melon, pure orange juice etc. Thought I hadn’t brought very much, but what with buying stylish clothes here, it’s a bit much! Just reading and sunbathing before leaving for airport and I’m enjoying the book club choice (not always the case) A Town called Solace. We meet in the flesh too for the first time, zooming not for me.
This holiday business can be quite hard work lol, need a holiday when I get home….
Thoughts to grandmattie Kalu those with daughters having treatment and anyone with any worries.

Good Morning all from bright but cloudy Harrogate.
Sorry you are having such a hard time GrandMattie hope today is easier.
You are certainly getting the attention you need from the surgery, Mick. Hope the results come soon and prove you have nothing to worry about!
We have a nothingness day today, lots of little things to do - washing, cleaning etc. boring stuff
All the talk of Llandudno is making me feel I want to go back there! When we were there in April, so a strange sculpture behind Curry's, when one turned to look at me I realised it was a live pile of goats, such majestic creatures with beautiful silky hair. It's the closest I've been to them. Can certainly recommend the town for a break, but make sure the premises you stay at has parking!!
Have the best day you can folks!

Good morning all from a warm W Kent. Another quiet day here, I am afraid my reminisces of having Covid are not to be a slight sore throat and headache. Anyway out of bed today so will try and read and lie around, very good at that.
Best wishes to all and thinking of you

Good morning from a sunny NE ?
Yesterday was a busy day, we collected GD1 from school at 11.30 and we went for lunch at her favourite restaurant. No more school for her but she does have the prom next week.
DIL and GD2 came after school and they had a meal and stayed until 10pm, I was shattered as the heat was oppressive.
I had a message to say that they had cancelled my sister's flight again and she would not be arriving today. She is upset and thinks she should claim a refund and stop attempting to reach the UK at present.
Today I am alone and will use the time to do some housework and possibly watch some TV which is a luxury these days.
Thoughts are with poorly people and carers.

Grammaretto Fri 24-Jun-22 09:34:47

Good morning all from a really warm Scottish Borders.
No yoga today as the teacher has the dreaded covid.
It seems I am in the minority now, having never had it!
Tonight I am going to the theatre with 2 friends and before that an Italian meal so no cooking.

But before any of that I have a room to transform from a dumping ground it was DD's room to a guest bedroom in a couple of hours. Will I do it? My Czech helper is willing so at least there are 2 of us.

I am glad you are getting looked after Mick, promptly.
I hope the Oracle at Delphi gives it best to your boys gMattie I imagine it will be very hot today.

aggie Fri 24-Jun-22 09:22:47

Good morning, here’s hoping your medical tests lead to a simple solution Michael
It’s overcast here in Co Armagh, if it rains it will save me carrying watering cans around the plants , but I have the washing machine on , double trouble !
Fingers crossed for a better day for gM and Marydoll ??
