All the best to you and your family Oops. Come back as often or as little as you can. Take care ❤️

Oops you will be missed, but you must put yourself first, don’t forget to take care of you 🙋‍♀️😘

A perfect day in Eden, the Autumn colours are glorious with the sunshine.
DH has taken to the fells to wander.
Housework calls for me before another set of visitors.
I hope everyone's building work goes smoothly and those who are not well or feeling down have sunshine like this it would lift anyone's spirits.

Take care Oops best wishes to you and your family.
baubles 💐.

Oops I’ll be thinking of you, take care x 💐

Oops
Sending my best wishes to you and your family.

For all the poorlies. 💐

Late good morning just wanted to let people who messaged 're pain in hip . The good news is it's not mets which was my sorry ,it's bursitis in the trochanter area so Dr has booked injection into that area under ultra sound guidance ,he has warned me it might take a few before it settles. Have a good day all.

Good morning from Durham - fine and bright here.
I’ve no plans today, but housework and bed changing definitely beckons - I’m not a fan, but needs must. I might reward myself with cake later, but (for me) it’s nice to have a nothing day now and again.
I echo RM Oops - sometimes life just gets too heavy. Hopefully other GNs are improving and fingers crossed various Tradespeople do their jobs problem free.
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning all from N Bucks where it is again sunny with a clear blue sky. The towels are out so who knows, they may be dry by the end of today, if not a quick tumble is allowed.
Nothing exciting planned, dental check up , no doubt telling off from dentist who will say I am not flossing, then I think M&S where I hope some wine-coloured velvet trousers I have ordered will have arrived. I hope they will go with this, but as Paw used to say, I have no visual imagination so my 💡 idea may turn out to be rubbish.
What a dreadful time some of you are having.
Marydoll , gas and water totally scare me and if things were otherwise I would probably not have gas in the house having had three alarming leaks in the past - now I come to think of it, same plumber. You’d think I’d learn.
With thoughts and prayers for those who are poorly or who have family worries I hope today will be kind to us all.

I think anything would match that cardigan it's like Joseph's coat of many colours.

Well still be thinking of you Oops - and wishing you and your family well, please don't stay away too long and as for sounding "down" that's what GN is here for.
Remember we are here for you whenever you need a shoulder or to let it all out.
Take care 💐 💐 💐

Good morning everybody, it’s a sunny day here again but a frost earlier.

I’m going to take a break from GN for a bit, so many family health problems at the moment that my posts will likely be down and gloomy. Coupled with my dear BIL who is having palliative care and is so unwell, I really can’t see my way through it at the moment.

So take care everyone, I hope all poorlies soon feel better, good luck with your bathroom GM

Good morning all from a brighter Algarve. The washing that was almost dry on the line got soaked while we were out yesterday. The forecast is better for today.

Granmattie, you will have to pretend that you’re Portuguese while watching the plumber working . When we first came out here we found it amazing that as many people as possible watched their tradesmen or gardeners working. The British way always used to be not to look over their shoulders as they worked.

Our trip to the hospital yesterday was a bit of an anticlimax. Apparently we could have telephoned to be told that they have decided that DH should have surgery. However he has to wait for another phone call to tell us when to go back to the hospital for a meeting that hopefully will explain what exactly will happen and when.

So sorry to hear your news baubles in my thoughts and prayers

Good morning Mick and all from cloudy Lancashire, currently 9°C and raining lightly. Enjoy your trip out Mick.

Got through quite a few chores yesterday by taking my time and frequent rests. I was tired by bedtime and slept well. Today’s first task is to put away some of yesterday’s laundry. MrB has gone shopping, he is collecting his new glasses today.

No Christmas delivery slots required here, we will have an order to collect from the farm shop. We need to get organised though!

Glad your DH is improving Ashcombe.

Hope the bathroom work goes well Grandmattie.

Not what you needed at all Marydoll! EDF are pestering me to have a smart meter, I have many unanswered questions. I will add reconditioned meters to the list.

Enjoy your holiday Hollysteers, a welcome relief from an English winter.

I expect you’re glad that’s over Grammaretto. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

How lovely to read your happy post Urmstongran, enjoy the rest of your break x

Sending love and healing thoughts to Baubles, Kalu and Baggs this morning. Hope those of us with troubles have a better day🌹

Lovely morning as we embark on day 2 of the new hall floor. The trouble is that upstairs can of course only be accessed via the stairs and therefore the hall so life is somewhat circumscribed and the wonderful cleaner is going to have a frustrating morning. All much less frustrating than gM’s bathroom though, so just today and tomorrow to be got through and then I can reclaim my home.

Sorry about the gas saga, Marydoll, and hope there is no more to worry about. Power suppliers seem to be extraordinarily inefficient and Ovo have sent me an email about how much in credit I am followed the next day by a meter reader and then an email demanding readings, followed yesterday by another visit from the same meter reader. I now have a visit booked for Thursday from their Meter Team - you couldn’t make it up. Talk about the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing!

Meanwhile we have to enter and exit the house through the utility room so I had better get ready for supermarket shop. Think wine will have to be included today.

Baubles I'm sending positive thoughts heavenward for your bil.

How awful Baubles. Your poor BiL has been through so much. Sending healing vibes and strength to your DSis.

Worrying news baubles. I’ll be thinking of you all.

Maw the colour combo sounds ok to me.
Hope the Urmstons have a fabulous time with their good friends. Plenty of laughs among the poignant moments.

Sorry to hear about your BiL Baubles sending healing thoughts.
What trials you are having Gingster
Hope today is much better.

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny but chilly Carlisle.
A busy housework morning yesterday but more satisfying than wrestling on the computer in the afternoon trying to book a plane seat on a flight I have booked next year. They've mailed me this morning telling me to contact Services. How can this be so difficult!
Today I'm going to go through my summer clothes, I may or may not clear some out....I've been more successful with books, there's a bag full waiting to go to the charity shop.
I ought to go out for a walk and get exercise but will I?!

What a horrible way to spend a day for you both Gingster and not to get answers after all that. I hope your DD gets a diagnosis soon.
One dreads getting ill/unwell these days.

Marydoll you must have nerves of steel, you certainly need them. All the technology that runs our lives these days doesn't necessarily make them easier. oh for the good old days of the humble meter reader!

My thoughts and best wishes to your sister and DH Baubles. I hope all will be well soon.

I will indeed add your brother in law to my thoughts baubles. So sorry to hear the news, it must be so distressing for you all. To go through cancer treatment, stressful in itself and battering to the body and yet now this to contend with. Poor man.

Good morning everyone, so good to here Big Ben's Bongs again!
On the home strait now grandMattie, you'll have a lovely bathroom soon.
Hope you have a lovely time tonight Urmstongran, take care all x

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Another dry, 13° day.
It's Tuesday so I'm volunteering as usual. I come home "cream crackered" and veg out in front of Bake Off.
Love to all 🦩 x
