Static caravan purchase is it worth buying

Good morning Mick and all from dry but dull Anglesey.
Happy Mothering Sunday to one and all ?
Happy birthday ? Lins, hope it’s a good one ?.
Hoping we all find a random pink flamingo ? today.
Good morning all. It’s a dull grey day in Lancashire again. The days seem to merge into one another at the moment.
Good morning, Mick and everyone. It's a dreary, damp day on the Cumbrian coast. Funny how Sunday seems to get more dreary days than others in the week! When my shifts found me working Sundays, I would feel sorry for the Mon-Fri folk having one of their precious days off spoilt.
I'll spend part of the day researching the new furniture etc I need for the new home. It's frustrating that lockdown means I can't go and look in the stores. I'm also missing the excellent DIY skills of my late DH who fitted bedroom furniture, made shelves etc to suit our requirements . Now it's a case of buying ready made stuff - it generally takes two to put flat packs together-or paying people to come in. It will be fine in the end though, I'm sure.
I love your beautiful blanket, Ashcombe. My late MiL was very talented at crochet. I still have a lovely shawl she made me.
Well, that's it for now, I hope the sun shines for us all, literally or otherwise.
Good Morning all from sunny Harrogate - Happy Mothers day to all
Happy Birthday Lins [cake]
Today promises to be busy, have virtual church to attend, DDs are coming after lunch so no idea what they have cooked up, don't know if Dgd will be with them. Decided I'd better bake eith scones or cup cakes for them. Have sorted out photographs so shall present the ones with DD1 to her and DD2 to her, the ones with both they can look at and decide what to do about them. Since today could be showery, and meddling Dgd could be here, decided to tidy a little back room (of my paints) so we can be dry there.
GrandMattieI know what you mean about treading on eggshells with DDs, I have to watch what I say or do!
Beautiful blanket Ashcombe
Hope your procedures go well Bellasnana
Have a good day, everyone. Keep safe
Good Morning from wind blown, blue and sunny S of France.
Happy Mother’s Day to you all.
I shall hope to have a small celebration on 30th May....??
Soon be done and dusted, corner and bella. Wishing you a completely uneventful outcome and a small medal for going through all the necessary nonsense.
Many Happy Returns, Lins ???
Have the most exciting and cheering garden fun, Taichinan
I’m off to make chocolate pots and something with lamb....DS coming to eat.
Whatever you’ve planned - squeeze the very last drop of enjoyment out of it, everyone. You deserve the best....please don’t forget that!
Stay safe and well and sane. To all sad or struggling, huge hugs to you. ?
A Flipping Flamboyance of Flamingoes to you all??????????????????♀️???????????
Good morning all and happy Mothers' Day on this lovely bright, sunny morning from Welwyn, Herts.
I'd like to offer a special thought to all those who have lost their Mums particularly in the past year and also to Mums who have lost children.
It's been a very busy week, mostly with extra care for DGC, so instead of the usual 3 days, we had 5 due to Dil's appointments. However, all is well and we look forward to a "normal week" next week.
Following yesterday's washing, ironing is waiting (mostly pillow cases) so shouldn't take long, then prepare shepherd's pie for lunch, with a diced beef base rather than mincemeat and a side of baked stuffed pepper from yesterday.
Wishing you all a good day.
Morning Mick and all
Since my Mum died nearly four years ago, I find Mothering Sunday touched with sadness, thinking of all who no longer have their dear Mums ??
Lots of FaceTime today with AC and my sister
Keep safe and well folks ?♀️
How lovely jaxjacky such a thoughtful special treat!
Taichinan I’ve serious fire pit envy .... please let us know how good the sausages are!! ... ?
How lovely Jax.
Thank you Grandmafrench and Brook - never done this before, so it's a bit of "something different"! I'm going to par-cook the sausages in case they char before they're cooked through. Should be fun ??
Happy Mothering Sunday all. Have Zoomed with DS and two of the DGC. Expect to see DD briefly in our driveway later. DS says "something" arriving between 12.30 and 1.30. I will have to prove I am over 18 ( shouldn't be difficult ) so suspect it's wine !
Jaxjacky, that’s just lovely!
Good morning all.
Grandmajean in spite of being a wrinkly 83, with very white hair and a walking stick, I still have to show proof of age to Amazon when my D sends me my favourite tipple.
Cold, wet and breezy here, my S, not known for signs of affection at all, left me this lovely gift this morning.
I was very surprised and happy.
It is jams chutneys and sauces.
Happy Mothering Sunday from a grey and breezy East Midlands. No family gatherings but lovely flowers and cards delivered by our faithful delivery people. Have the best day that you can as there is a light at the end of this tunnel.
Good morning Mick and all from the Northwest coast. Yes Mick, a whole year of this strangeness and I feel it’s put years on me?
But lovely flowers and chocs for Mother’s Day with irises, my favourite.
Quiet day ahead, a tidy up, exercise and carry on drawing.
Watched a documentary about the Spencer family last night. V interesting and I fancy a trio to Althrop (Must pronounce it properly ?)
Hope you all have a nice Mother’s Day and thoughts to the troubled.
Good morning, and a happy Mothers Day to all mums on here.
To Mick and a special hello to Annie
We have listened to our on line service, and I do enjoy our minister's voice, and earlier on DH had Alexa play some really good worship music.
Yesterday we visited our daughter and SIL, where we had a lovely few hours and we felt very spoilt. They have some really comfy chairs, and I offered to swop our two sofas for two chairs ?
I will have to pop back and read the previous posts, as if I don't do this now, it will be mid afternoon before I get round to it.
So to one and all, have a good day, and enjoy yourselves
