Good Morning Thursday 19th February 2026

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 2° and dry. It's very grey and still. Pantglas have a lovely time. Marydoll your poor dil is having a difficult time.
Yesterday I achieved every thing I set out to. I was in the retail park early. I picked up a Hobby craft gift card then headed to M&S for flowers for my friends as a wee surprise. Up to the school for a quick tidy round the shelves then home where I emptied and loaded the dishwasher and hoovered before going to meet my friends for lunch. We had a lovely time. The food was good too.
Today I'll probably head back to the retail park to get presents for dgs1 whose birthday is on Sunday. Thereafter I will potter around the house and do a washing. Dd will nip in later for my kitchen aid to make a football themed birthday cake for the birthday boy. I can't believe he will be 7 already. Hes growing into a fine boy.
Have a good day all.

Good morning all from the Black country where the rain has ceased at the moment.
Pantglas enjoy your break.
NannyJan have a nice day out.
Marydoll sorry to hear of your DiLs setback.
Housework today and a little more decluttering I took another bag yesterday to the charity shop but its neverending.
Over the club this evening.
Safe travels those on the move, best wishes for anyone celebrating and virtual hugs where needed.
Have the best day you can ☀️

Good morning everyone from another dull, damp and dreary Northampton day. Was similar yesterday but with a bitter wind.

I have a friend coming for coffee this morning, so I set to yesterday and made a batch of Mary Berry's recipe scones which are looking delicious. I shall warm some up when she gets here; no cream, but I do have a new pot of strawberry jam so it will be butter and jam!

After lunch I will be making a large vat of moussaka, which I have had a yearning for. Should be plenty of leftovers to freeze.

Wishing all a pleasant Thursday.

Marydoll your poor DiL is really having the most horrendous time, hope they find the source of infection and it responds well to treatment 🙏🏻

I sympathise with you and your hard of hearing DH, I have kne of those 🤦‍♀️

Good morning from misty Leicestershire. I am late this morning and just woken up maybe because the heating didn’t come on!

Yesterday turned out better than expected. Apparently the battery on the car is faulty so should get a new one under warranty and when Ocado delivered the milk had burst over much of it. Although it was salvageable I was allowed to keep it but the driver refunded the damp items including the steak.

I will now drink my green tea and read your posts.
Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Marydoll sending best wishes to your family as your DDIL has another set back but keeping everything crossed they can treat her infection quickly. Such a worry for you all.
Thoughts to all those suffering pain, illness and worry 💐

Good morning all and it’s rained all night.

At 9 o’clock I’ll try to ring the ‘urgent’ number at the hospital to get an appointment for Dh, as we haven’t heard.

Dd is still having tests at the hospital but I haven’t heard much from her. I’ll visit this afternoon.,

Sorry to hear your DIL won’t be coming home yet. So disappointing for you all.

Pants enjoy your break away.
Liberty enjoy your lunch.,

I hope all poorlies feel a bit better today. 🌱

Good Morning from Durham. It’s not raining, but it is very cold. I wasn’t going to post, as I’m only moaning about my teeth and staying in until Monday (next dental appointment).
However, having just read Marydoll’s post, I just wanted to pass on my concern that her DinL has had a setback, such a worry.
Happy holidays Pant

Best wishes to all. X

Good morning from Shropshire.Overnight snow but seems to be raining now not the forecast sleet.

A morning of catching up after our few days away.DH has his exercise class this afternoon and the children will arrive for a sleepover.

I realise I need to push myself to do more.I have totally lost confidence in going out and about on my own so need to try harder!

Marydoll, DD and I went to see Midsomer Murders and I didn’t realise until the end that people had played a couple of roles.We really enjoyed the play too.I hope she source of your DIL’d infection is quickly found and treated.I too have a husband in denial about his hearing loss🤯

Thinking of all struggling and wishing everyone the best day possible.🦩🌻

md I’m sorry that your DDiL has had another setback and hope that any infection can be treated quickly.
gingster I hope that you manage to get an urgent appointment for your DH and also that your DD isn’t in hospital for long. Hopefully the tests won’t reveal anything serious.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where I have overslept despite waking at 4am for 2 hours.
Sorry to hear of your DiLs setback MD. 4 weeks and counting is a long time away from her family.

I hope your DD is ok Gingster.

I have yoga, U3A and ceilidh dancing today .I made up a quantity of Bolognese sauce to last a while, and freeze. This was to make up for the 3 pieces of cake I consumed on Ash Wednesday.

My walking buddy and I planned a walk we will lead in May for our group of 20. These things need careful attention over coffee and cake.

Have a wonderful Valentine's getaway Pants. I'm not jealous at all

Hope even those with heavy burdens to bear find some joy today.

Morning all, back from my visit to see rellies in breezy Blackpool to rain and more rain in Suffolk!
Hope that those of us with worries and concerns can find some respite from them today- they really do gnaw away at us don't they?
Regarding husbands/partners etc with hearing loss denial- can I join the group? Mine says its me 'mumbling'- ha! The one thing I dont do is mumble-as a retired primary teacher I don't know how too x

'to' not 'too'!

Morning all , it’s not raining !
Off to visit cousins this morning , bringing my walker in case we can’t get parked near the house
Sad to hear os setbacks , such a rollercoaster
Wishing a bit of sunshine ☀️ in our lives
