Good Morning Tuesday 24th February 2026

So sorry to hear the sad news re FGT.
My sincere thoughts are with themxx

Beautiful Blossoming, I do understand your anxieties x

You sound like a new woman TheWeirdoAgain60, I’m glad you’ve found your happy place.

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire.

I haven’t been feeling very well for the last few days and I have been sleeping poorly due to the stress. I’m terrified of going back into hospital, it was an awful experience and every twinge sets my mind racing along frightening pathways. I have never suffered from health anxiety before! MrB has taken me to Lytham this morning, always a happy place for me and it has done me so much good.

Onwards and upwards 🌹

NannyJan53 I also reported quite a few of those posts. 🤭 I was awake quite early for a change and spotted them- along with a few other GNs
Nothing to do with any Meet Ups

Aaah thanks....I assumed the reporting was for the thread. but realise now the reported comments had been removed!

Good morning, Michael12 and everyone!

I started my new job as a retail shop manager here in Whitby on the 14th of February and love it!

My boss was going to have me off work on a Thursday, but working the other 6 days, but has had to change it to Tuesday, which is OK with me!

There's been more flooding here!

I love my new flat and have finally set everything up with furniture, etc., and have got my small bedroom, but turned the bigger one into an office/studio. Good, quiet neighbours and a good landlord.

I've only lived here since early January of this year and have already found various eateries! I love my food! The Singling Kettle in Angel Yard is my new best friend cafe! Their Full English brekkies are gob-smacking, although I have to ask them to skip the black pudding and give men an extra egg instead!

And Passage To India is my new best friend Fine Dining Restaurant, 30-31 Windsor Terrace! So the cafe is my once-a-weekly in the morning, and the restaurant is my once-a-monthly in the evenings!

When I lived in Appleby, I didn't have any pets as I was working up to 18 hours a day, 6 days a week, as a carer in a home, and various other long-shift jobs before that, but now I'm on reduced hours but still working 6 days a week, including Sunday, I'm thinking of getting a small pet, maybe some mice, or other rodents, maybe a Western Hognose Snake or a Milk Snake or Corn Snake.

I absolutely LOVE Martin Clunes, so I watched his 4-hour film, Out There. I can't believe that the 2 actors who played the teenage brother and sister, Rhys and Sadie, drug addicts, who were supposed to be 15 and about 18, are actually in their 30s! Anyone thinking of watching it, beware, it's got loads of f-bombs, a sexual assault, drugs, blood and violence! Just shows you don't know what goes on behind the barn doors of a cute little Welsh village!

Have a good one, all of you!

Good morning everyone from the west midlands.
A bright mild day here today & not a lot going-on really, which is not particularly conducive to my low mood today.
I'm hoping it's just the tail -end of the winter blues & come the brighter days, my mood will improve. It has to or MrIlovedogs will clear-orf with the floozy down the road! Have the best day possible all & thank goodness for GN for helping me decompress. 😶

Good Morning from a dull Co Armagh,
yesterday I managed to walk round our little garden , admiring the crocus and noting where wee daffodils were.
My latest attempt at keeping fit is to get up during boring bits or ads on tv and see how many times I can walk to the front door and back before my back gives in !! The hall is long
Hoping for some sun or at least brightness today for all

Grannygravy 4 year old dgs2 loves KPop and dances to all the songs. Dgs1 does moody moves and looks while singing along too. Hes 7.

GrannyGravy I bet you know the words to Henry Danger the musical. According to 7year old GD. K-pop demons is very ‘last year’

I do hope so, I go to bed with Golden going round in my head 😹

The Imp (6yr old boy) very much into drama and dance knows all the songs and dances from K-Pop Demon Hunters, and is looking forward to the second films release 🤦‍♀️

I'm so glad to hear your DiL is home at last Marydoll and over the worst.

Baubles that's so frustrating about the postponed op.
I'm on call as transport for my friend's cataract surgery which will be at the Golden Jubilee!
You only have to look at a map to see there are dozens of nearer hospitals and clinics.

Auchendinmy to Clydebank is mad.

Putting boiling water in a cold pot is always risky, which is why we are told to warm the teapot first Karmalady. I'm saying this as a potter who learned about this at college but also from bitter experience.

Good Morning from Durham. After heavy rain overnight, it’s dry, but grey here. No laundry - machine broken!
Yesterday’s dental appointment was expensive, but ok, I’m back in 3 months, but at least I can go out now!! A quick coffee with a friend, then straight down to check on my empty rental house. I’ve a chiropody appointment this afternoon, then straight into DD2’s to babysit DGS2. She’s going away for work and SinL is going to the home match after he’s dropped her off at the airport. Half term here, but not there, so traffic is unpredictable.
As we had dogs we needed 3 vehicles and on my own, I’m still doing 8-10k miles a year, but I enjoy driving.
Eggshells again MD? How many of us have that Tshirt?
Thinking of FGT as her loss sinks in.

Best wishes to all. X

Yesterday turned out to be quite busy - window installer to replace a damaged handle, window cleaner, DS and DGD2 rang up and asked to come for lunch (good thing I had soup and rolls) and then a long telephone chat with oldest school friend. The plan to clean the silver was abandoned with enthusiasm.

Wonderful Cleaner is here so bed changing needs to happen but nothing else demanding my attention (apart from the silver cleaning, which sounds as though we have masses; we don’t, just teapots, candle sticks and some little bits, all of which look better for the occasional polish). Need to finish my Tesco order so that we have plenty to eat at the weekend when DD and DSiL will be here.

Good morning everyone from a damp and grey Northampton. I have slept in again this morning, which is lovely if I have a free morning.

Yoga was fine yesterday and my knee coped well with everything and was not at all painful. I did very little when I got back apart from some washing up, cleaning the kitchen and preparation for my holidays. I put a new book onto my Kindle, although I have plenty of unread ones on it! I was able to order my medication this morning with a note to say why I am requesting it early.

The paperwork and information for my future cataract surgery arrived yesterday; plenty to read and take in; my first appointment is 4 weeks today.

Won't be joining my walking group this afternoon as I have a hairdressers appointment, hoping that she works her usual miracle. On the way back I shall call in at the paper shop, pay my bill and cancel my paper while I am away.

Shall make a batch of macaroni cheese for dinner.tonight, one to eat today and probably about three leftover portions for the freezer.

Thinking especially of FGT2 as she faces her new life.

Doha not Dohar.

Good morning from Cloudy Chambers northwest coast.
After a couple of days of not very much, I’m going to the music club this afternoon, so will prepare my songs.
Flying DD is in Dohar and sends photos from around the pool.
I’m looking forward to my next cling on trip, wherever it may be.
Lovely photos today.

Thoughts to FGT and all🌺

WhiteSwan73 Henry Danger has a lot to answer for in this house 😹😹😹

That was probably me - up in the early hours and notice an ‘infiltration’ on several of the meet-up threads.

Good Morning, from west mids. NannyJan53 there were a series of odd posts on all the meet up threads that were reported and removed. A free day for me today but plenty to occupy myself

Good morning from the east coast. Looking at my weather app it’s going to be in double figures temp wise for over a week so I’m pleased about that.

DGS had a good day at school and the routine at ours went well.
The GDs were delightful as ever last night. GD2 who is 3 was saying about her wedding😂 she said she wants to marry Henry Danger from Nickelodeon who she loves but she doesn’t want to kiss him. Have other Grans seen this with their GC. My GDs are both obsessed. It was a funny conversation while they were in the bath.

Today I am picking up Mum to go and visit her brother in his care home. He now has a girlfriend in there and they both wanted a matching key ring with their photos inside so I’ll take those with me. It’s very sweet.

DH is doing a Sea Bass risotto for tea. He said ‘I need to find a tastier recipe to match up to the best one you ever had in Madeira’
He’s great.
We were just discussing the need to lop the tops off two eucalyptus in the garden before they get too high and lose their lovely colour. That will be a job the next free time we have.

Wishing everyone a day with moments of joy🌼
Thoughts to friends dealing with family stress and loss.💐

Good morning from a dull and damp Black Country.

My procedure went well yesterday, I was in and out in less than 30 minutes.

Then home and onto Line Dancing with my friend.

Today said friend and I are off to the Cinema to the 'Silver Surfers'. £2 a coffee and biscuit. The film today is The Choral. A month ago it was I Swear which I was pleased to see won a Bafta. It was a very good film. Then we shall have a late lunch afterwards.

Impressed that your car lasted 28 years Melanie, it is obviously sad to see it go. My car is 14 years old, but only 55K on the clock so hoping it will last longer yet. Only did 2K in it last year.

Thought it odd yesterday, I looked on the Meet Ups section for Birmingham yesterday and someone had reported the thread, then noticed the same name had reported quite a few! Very strange?

Wishing you all the best day possible. Urms as I always think of her, is in my thoughts.

Morning all from West Lothian. It felt mild when I let the cat out this morning and I don’t think it was raining.

Busy day yesterday, but not with anything particularly’fun’ - early swim and then work (reviewing risk assessments- definitely not fun!! 😂). Today will be better. I’ve got my annual book club planned at a nice pub. I haven’t quite finished the current book but if it’s anything like a normal meeting, we’ll spend about ten minutes talking about the book and the rest of the time just talking. I’m going to try to skip breakfast so that I can eat what I want at lunchtime and not have to worry.
I love hearing about everyone’s lives, the bad and the good.

Melanie I’m very impressed that you kept your car going so long! You’ll be sad to lose it.

Have as day as possible everyone. Sending positive thoughts to everyone going through tough times x

Good morning all from a mild dull Black country.
Yesterday's sun didn't last long but the washing dried and I was able to iron it.
Today I think we are eating out we have a voucher so will use it while we can.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans.
FGT 🌹
