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 DD’s tonight to regroup. It’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 you’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.

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 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.

It’s worth getting checked by your GP Wyllow, back pain is very wearing.

Sorry you’ve been so ill Marydoll, sending good wishes for your DGD.

Daft dug has an appointment with the groomer this afternoon, she’ll look very different afterwards.

I’ve friends coming round this evening, we’ll have tea, cake and much chat.

Have the best day possible everyone.

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 didn’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, it’s No Mow May but I need to sneak this one in as it’s been too wet to do until now, for the rest of the month I shall mow pathways through so that we don’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, let’s hope we see some sunshine, it’s looking promising here.

Good Morning from a cold Co Armagh, it’s a milky sky with the sun visible but well veiled
A Very Happy Birthday Michael 🎂 I hope you have a pleasant day , thank you for starting us all off every morning 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wonderful that moving I day is here at last grandMattie every best wish for a smooth delivery of your goods a chattels !
That’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 , I’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 all from a cloudy and damp Lancashire. Our bank holiday plans went somewhat awry as I have broken my little toe. I had a fall on Saturday evening, it wasn’t a bad fall but my foot hit a radiator and caught awkwardly.

Happy Birthday Mick, I hope the move goes well Grandmattie.

dustyangel Tue 02-May-23 09:19:19

So very pleased that you are on the mend Marydoll flowers

Thank you for this lovely thread 😊

Happy birthday to Gwen also.

Grandmabatty Tue 02-May-23 09:28:32

Gwen a happy birthday to you too x

Birthday greetings to Mick and Gwen and best wishes for gMattie’s removal - hope nothing else is damaged and that everything works to plan. Hope too that Marydoll and Dollie are starting to feel better.

DD arrived yesterday evening with a misbehaving car so have already collected her from wonderful local garage who have diagnosed the fault and ordered the part so that she should be on her way later if all goes well. So much activity before 9.00am has exhausted me!

grandMattie Tue 02-May-23 09:50:43

Replacement fridge freezer arriving tomorrow, damaged one removed…. They want me to repack! 😲

Greyduster Tue 02-May-23 09:59:55

Greetings to all from a sunny Suffolk and many happy returns to those having birthdays today. It’s a lovely time of year to be able to celebrate and I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Also best wishes to GM on your moving in day and hope you don’t feel overwhelmed by the number of boxes that appear.

I’m planning a little gentle gardening in terms of tidying up various pots in the back garden that need refilling now that most of the spring bulbs are past their best and reading in the summerhouse if this sun persists.

I hope that those feeling unwell get better soon and those with worries about family and/ or friends find some peace today.
