Thatโ€™s a pity about the freezer , I hope you get a new one immediately
Marydoll I hope you and Dolly are better soon , I remember the midwives being very tight lipped and disapproving when my youngest threw up as I was making him feed longer at their suggestion , he is a huge man now , but still very picky about eating
Nothing planned for today , Iโ€™m going to admire my garden and drink it all in before the spring colour gives way to summer , I love this time every year

Good morning Mick and a very Happy Birthday to you, I hope you have a good day.
GM excited for you, what a pain about the fridge/freezer, I didnโ€™t realise they charge now for unpacking, I always get my stuff unpacked after I ordered a new cooker a few years ago and it arrived very nicely packaged but with a huge dent in it, obviously it was damaged but they packed it anyway.
Willow hope you feel better soon,
Good to see you back Marydoll take it easy, maybe if the sun shines you can sit outside suitably wrapped up and doze.
I must mow the lawn today, itโ€™s No Mow May but I need to sneak this one in as itโ€™s been too wet to do until now, for the rest of the month I shall mow pathways through so that we donโ€™t get wet feet whilst feeding the birds, going to the clothes line and various other bits of the garden.
I cooked ahead yesterday, so an easy day for me, but plenty of housework to do, decluttering has made everywhere quite dusty.
Have a good day everyone, letโ€™s hope we see some sunshine, itโ€™s looking promising here.

Good morning all from cloudy South Lanarkshire.

Happy birthday Mick and thank you for this thread. Birthday wishes to you too Gwen.

Hope your move goes smoothly gM.

Itโ€™s worth getting checked by your GP Wyllow, back pain is very wearing.

Sorry youโ€™ve been so ill Marydoll, sending good wishes for your DGD.

Daft dug has an appointment with the groomer this afternoon, sheโ€™ll look very different afterwards.

Iโ€™ve friends coming round this evening, weโ€™ll have tea, cake and much chat.

Have the best day possible everyone.

A special Good morning to you Mick, happy birthday, give yourself a little treat! And good morning, all, it's grey and cool here in Carlisle.
It was the same yesterday morning but the sun got out in the afternoon and I actually had my french windows open for a while. I got out in the garden to resume my planting, there's still more to do, filling in the gaps left by winter's depredations.
Today, I will be off into town shortly for some necessary errands and maybe a coffee treat, definitely no cake though as they're getting to be a ridiculous price.
Later, there may be housework or not and definitely some reading of a new book...well I've read it before but have forgotten the denouement. Probably a result of being older than you Mick!

Bad luck Marydoll, I hope you, and Dollie, are soon back to your usual selves.

Hope all goes smoothly, grandMattie, it should be exciting unpacking and arranging your belongings in your new home.

Have a good day, everyone.

Good morning from a grey S Hampshire. Happy Birthday Mick ๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽ‰ and to you Gwenisgreat ๐ŸŽ‚, enjoy your days.
Hope today goes smoothly gMattie.
Fun at quiz last night, very well attended.
Today I must ring the dentist and this afternoon my toenails are getting their summer decoration.
Enjoy your day ๐Ÿฆฉ๐Ÿฆฉ

Stilllearning Tue 02-May-23 08:43:14

Good morning and a very happy birthday Mick, another thank you for starting our mornings so nicely.

Hope all goes well today Grandmattie, good that you can retreat to your DDโ€™s tonight to regroup. Itโ€™s such a stressful time.

Taichenan, you must be bursting with pride at your DGDs achievement, what an exciting time for her, I hope it all goes perfectly.

Glad youโ€™re a little better Marydoll I hope the weighing goes well and you can all relax about that.

Childminding today so am now off, I take my hat off to you Bellasnanna, twin boys, I am in awe!

Wishing everyone a good day.

Donโ€™t often post but always read. Just wanted to wish Mick a Happy Birthday and say thank you for this lovely gentle thread. Hope you feel a little better soon Marydoll and hope everyone has as good a day as possible.

Woollywoman Tue 02-May-23 08:35:50

Happy birthday, Mick! Thanks for the lovely thread. Hope you all have the best day possible.

ginny Tue 02-May-23 08:32:25

Good morning.
We had a good clear up in the garden yesterday and then a trip to a local nursery to replace a few plants that had been killed by heavy frosts.
Today we have DGS 2 for an hour or so this morning and again early evening while his big brother has a swimming lesson.
I am out to lunch with 3 friends and then a Flower club meeting later.
Happy Birthday Mick.
Hope GMwill be happy in her new home.
Glad to hear from Marydoll hope you soon improve.
Thoughts with other poorly people and those with worries.
Wishing you all a good day.

Good morning all from cloudy Harrogate
Happy birthday Mick you must be my twin!! Today is also my birthday! Iโ€™m older than you by 4 years - itโ€™s a popular day for birthdays ๐ŸŽ‚ with Marydolls DD sharing it and a friend of mine who I will see this pm. Weโ€™ve missed you Marydoll and hope you are on the mend now.
Hope today goes smoothly Grandmattie.
This pm I am at a church group celebrating the coronation the DH and I go on to DDs for a birthday bite
Have the best day possible folks

luluaugust Tue 02-May-23 08:23:37

Good morning from a cloudy W Kent off to our large shopping centre this morning as DH needs new slippers and I need some cleaning bits and pieces for when the cleaner starts helping us.
Happy Birthday Mick have a good day
All the best for the move gM
Sorry you have felt so unwell Marydoll hope all goes well for the weigh in.
All the best

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
Happy birthday Michael and thanks for your faithful start to each day. It's really appreciated ๐Ÿ‘
Enjoy the cycling.
Good luck with the move gMattie
Keep out the way is my advice
Here the tradition is to have a pie and a pint with the removers but it would need to be non alcoholic these days.

I had the dehumidifier on all yesterday and washed 3 loads of towels used for mopping up after the flood on Sunday.

Today chiropractor, window cleaner who didn't come last week a friend for coffee distraction and another friend for a cuppa this afternoon.
Thinking particularly of my Glesgu pals Marydoll
Kalu and others with troubles
Have the best day you can..

Delorus Tue 02-May-23 08:15:14

Happy birthday Mick. Today you must have a treat whilst out shopping or to enjoy whilst watching the cycling.
I rarely post but follow the chat and GM I wish you well with the move.Once settled into your new home you can then begin to build up a new social life of activity.I do admire your outlook on life.
Worried about MDoll and do hope she reports back with a little improvement in health.
Dull day here in West Yorks and after a busy family weekend would prefer a day at home. A friend with mental health issues has become rather reliant on me and I know would be so disappointed if I cancelled our mooch about town.

Good morning from Essex by the sea. The sun is trying to break through the clouds but it is a little chilly.
Happy Birthday Mick, enjoy your day.
I hope today goes well for you GM.
Hopefully you will continue to improve Marydoll.
Have a lovely day everyone xx

BlueBalou Tue 02-May-23 08:05:26

Good morning everyone, a cloudy start here on the hill in Wiltshire, not a lot of sunshine here at the moment ๐Ÿ™„
Happy birthday Mick, I hope you have a lovely day.
Good luck grandMattie, I will be thinking of you ๐Ÿค—

Completely overdid the gardening yesterday, wiped myself out by teatime ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ, and didnโ€™t sleep well either. All my own fault.
Garden is looking lovely, I am really pleased with it (and my efforts!). Just two tubs to weed today and a bit of planting (I have asked DH to dig the last border ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป)
Enjoy today x

GrannyGravy13 Tue 02-May-23 08:04:22

Happy Birthday Mick ๐Ÿฅ‚๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽ‰

Gingstet where is our sun?

We are on GC duty today due to teachers strikes. One will sleepover as they gave an early school start tomorrow.

Good luck with your move grandMattie I hope you get your fridge sorted.

Lovely to hear from you Bellasnana enjoy your twin GSs.

Marydoll I hope you are OK ๐Ÿ˜˜

Have a good day folks ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฆฉ

Marydoll Tue 02-May-23 08:03:16

I have just realised its moving day, good luck, GM!

Good morning all and a happy birthday to You Mick have a good one dance like no one is watching wink and sing like no one is listening grin

Like you Greyduster I too have precious photos on my iPad and I love reminiscing with them.
Its a lovely sunny start to the day here on the east coast of Fife this coastline is so beautiful I have a view to die for. My dd was telling me Donald Trump was in her neck of the woods yesterday what a palaver heโ€™s meant to be going to build another golf course there even although the one he already has is failing to make a profit heโ€™s definitely got money to burn the silly fool angry

Marydoll Tue 02-May-23 08:00:48

A brief (for me) good morning from me, to wish Mick a happy birthday on his special day.

Thank you to all those, who have missed me and showed concern.
I was very unwell with a virus, a bit of a chest infection and the continuous vomiting triggered an angina attack. Unfortunately my stash of anti nausea medication was useless.
Due to the fact that I am immunocompromised, I can't fight these things off quickly any more, so sleeping it off is the best plan.
Poor Mr MD was frantic with worry and wanted me to go to hospital, however I was having none of it.

On top of that my wee Dollie had the same bug, accompanied by nosebleeds. ๐Ÿ˜”
Thankfully, I am on the mend, still feeling rubbish, but not as rubbish as I was! I have just lost two days of my life, so I have some making up to do!

This a big day for my darling Babydoll, ๐Ÿ˜ she is being weighed again today, fingers crossed she won't be referred to hospital.
It's her mum's birthday today, so a weight gain would be the best present ever.

How lovely to see Bella posting, I do miss my trips to Malta!

My thoughts have been with my pal, Kalu and her DH.
I'm now going to catch up on all your doings! Best wishes to all the poorlies.
Have a good day folks!
