Good Morning Monday 30th January 2023

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Clear blue sky here.
I had a lovely day with the family for DGS’s birthday yesterday. It was cold watching his football game. They won 5-3. Driving back was straight forward.
Today it’s another charity event, this time in Richmond. I’ll have a walk there afterwards perhaps to the waterfall or Easby Abbey.
The collection of paper clips and perished elastic bands makes me smile GM. DH’s desk (now mine) still has some of his boxes and pots and as for pens that don’t work…….
Wishing you all a good day.

Good morning all from East Yorkshire.

It’s so good to be home despite the mess that awaited us in the house. The house was rewired. There was dust everywhere and has been left with lots of holes cut out from the old plug sockets etc. including an ugly one on the recently done bathroom that is tiled also the tiles in the kitchen. Seems like one job has created another problem. We arrived home at 6.45 last night and didn’t sit down to eat anything till 9.45 after cleaning up.

DIL and I enjoyed Strictly and had really good seats. Journey home after went smoothly.

Today DH is taking the car in for MOT, I have my blow dry appt and we have the remainder of house clearing up.


Have a good day everyone.

Morning Mick, morning All. Low cloud over our corner of Somerset.

A very lazy day yesterday, accomplished not a lot other than a roast meal. Mr C says it’s not Sunday without one. I disagree but then he asks for little so happy to oblige.

Should be meeting a friend for coffee this morning. It’s third time lucky we hope as life’s events forced cancellation of the last two. Other than that another I’ve no idea day, although I’ll try to iron before I go.

Hope the estate agent discussion is positive grandmattie. Good luck making your appointment baubles. Hope all goes to plan whitewave, you sound much calmer about the whole thing than I would be.

Take care everyone.

Good morning, I think it will be nice today, cool but nice

GM do not forget that estate agents have targets and survive on commission, they may well say to accept as that will help reach a monthly target. My EA was my niece who started her own (thriving) agency because of underhand tactics

I will be making a rich shin stew later and generally pottering

Good morning all from South Lanarkshire, it’s not raining but I’ve no idea what the weather will do today.

This will be a busy week, I’m working an extra day plus I have a first aid course to attend.

We babysat for DD’s youngest two yesterday evening, they were delightful and we had some amusing chats.

I have to try to get through to the surgery this morning as I have to make an appointment to have blood tested. Fingers crossed 🤞.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning everyone from a dry Northampton, still dark and 4° out, and a sunny day forecast. Up early as I shall go to yoga this morning.

Coffee and a quick lunch when I get back as I need to go into the town to the bank. An odd thing yesterday - I have been expecting a cheque (a refund for a cancelled holiday) in the post, and it hadn't come on Saturday, so there being no post on a Sunday,.was resigned to wait until today. Collected my newspaper from the letterbox yesterday (Sunday), about 10.30am and didn't notice anything else there. Some weird feeling told me to look again at lunchtime, and there stuffed into the letterbox was a very crumpled envelope - containing the long awaited cheque...... Very odd. So I am off to the bank today to pay it in.

Had a mini roast chicken crown yesterday, so will get the pressure cooker out and make a hearty chicken and veg soup for dinner tonight which will also last me until tomorrow.

Take care everyone and have a good Monday.

Good morning everyone.
I’m off to try my hand at some pottery work this morning.
Wishing you all a good day.

Good morning from the South Downs.
Weather set to be dry sunny ish and 10c!

Men coming today🤞🤞🤞 to start the ceiling. I must ring the men who are going to replace the ceiling and book a date asap.

Apart from that the house will be chaotic so I’ll retire to the garden.

Fish pie for dinner which we should have had yesterday, but neither of us were feeling hungry so we had two ryvitas and cheese each.

Haven’t had time to read any posts as must get a move on.

Hope everyone is holding up snd all have an excellent day.

Good morning from Leicestershire.
Yesterday was so lovely I got the washing dry outside.

Pilates first thing then I shall chase up missing post.

Wishing everyone a good day.

Good morning all from North Leicestershire. It isn't raining and seems quite chilly.

DH is going to the gym today while I am helping on Week 5 of the current Carer's course.

This afternoon, we have a potential new cleaner coming to see whether she can cope with us.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a dark Oxfordshire, dog woke me up at 5, just as well as she needed to ‘go’. She is now fast asleep and I’m wide awake.
A family member had a cataract op last week and is now blind in that eye, she is very bravely having her other eye done today, fingers and everything else crossed that she will be ok, her eyes are very bad so is left with no choice, poor lady I feel so sorry for her and totally helpless to do anything to help, she isn’t the easiest person to get along with and has refused to see us, at least one son is with her at the moment.
So, housework and laundry to do today and some legal paperwork to get done by lunchtime.
MrOops is still under the weather so another day of keeping warm, I’ll make chicken soup today, that will help.
I need something to cheer me up, so many close family members either unwell or waiting for hospital appointments and I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with it all.
Hope everyone has a good day and hugs for those who aren t so chipper.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 5° and damp. The forecast is brighter though. Grandmattie I hope your meeting with the estate agent goes well. Ash ironing has never been a chore I enjoyed! But if it made you happy...
Yesterday was a quiet day after dgs1 went home. Today is childcare Monday so I'm up before the sky is awake and have grandma's nursery organised. ( I did it last night) It'll be pick up, then breakfast, the nursery drop off for dgs1, then home and playing with toys. Repeat, in reverse, sort of, later. Thank you to the ladies who expressed concern about DD. Hopefully there won't be a reoccurrence. Chicken curry for dinner tonight. Have a good day all.

Good morning from a cloudy Sarthe.

How tedious to hear a car alarm for most of the night, grandMattie. I hope your meeting with the estate agents is fruitful; perhaps he could negotiate with the potential buyers over price and completion date.

Yesterday, I managed to do some ironing for the first time since October and quite enjoyed it. (sad or what?!) To be on the safe side, DH dealt with the ironing board. Another milestone reached, nevertheless.

Have a good day, everyone! 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning from a dark E Kent.
The night was “enhanced” by a car alarm going off every 3 minutes through the night! Lovely (not).
I spent yesterday going through newly discovered stuff of DH’s. Why he needed to keep boxes of paper clips, old, perished elastic bands and dried out biros, I’ll never know. I also found 8 wallets…. Still got most of the cubby hole to sort out.
I’ve got a meeting with the estate agents today. I shall be strong!
I hope today and this week treats you kindly. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
