Hi spoonies , welcome to new thread , thank you so so much for supporting me .

Hi @nzeire , thank you so so much for your kind words and it’s so lovely that this is your feel good 2024 story.
Im still hoping we all get to do the John Lewis Advert next year with our spoons xx

@Imbluedalale glad you slept well, no stompy Pete to disturb your slumber! 😂
Have a fantastic day lovely xx
Morning everyone!
It is, in fact, snowing here now and settling but I don't think it's going to last thankfully!

Hope everyone is well and those who don't feel great have a better day

I'll do a zoom, tho I hate seeing or hearing myself with a passion!! Xxx

Hi @spoonfulofmustard , how are you feeling today? Happy nothing day 😂
Thank you so much I really truly love it and I’m really looking forward to making it into a cosy home . Had a brilliant nights sleep thank you , was very cosy and warm xx

Good morning lovely, how are you today? I had a brilliant sleep and having a cuppa in bed at moment. It’s absolutely freezing here and snowing but luckily house is warm .
I don’t like seeing myself on screen either 🤣😂 but luckily I’ll just be a little square in the corner .
Th advice and support you’ve all given me has paid off ten fold and over I’m so grateful to you all I really am . You’re all getting a huge mention in my book that’s for sure .
I hope you have a good day at the office xx

Good morning @Munchyseeds2 , are you ok?Did you have a nice sleep? No more stompy Pete 😂it’s bliss and it’s so quiet.
It’s fully white outside here today and it seems to have settled as there’s a few inches .
I hate hearing myself talk too I sound like I’ve been inhaling those balloon things xx

Morning @Imbluedalale and all the spoonies! Well it’s white outside, which is great news if you have a lovely warm home.
This thread has made me think of all the people who don’t.
My day? Well I’m home all day, have some work to do and the Beverly Hills Housewives will keep me company. It’s series 14 tomorrow so I can’t wait!
Here’s to a great day everyone!

@Imbluedalale It's a Tuesday blues today.....as far as work is concerned, I just can't be bothered so I'm taking a half day and heading round to the Christmas market for that special something for you which I will get into the post asap. I really want to soak up some festive atmosphere and try and get my head into that frame of mind to start thinking about getting some gifts in. Right I gotta get my head down so I can get some work done before I run out the door at noon!

How lovely your first night sounds! Quiet, peaceful, comfy - how good is that?!? And most of all safe! And it’s yours, how amazing is that compared to just a couple of weeks ago! I think it might be nice to let the MP know how happy you are there - he really came through and made them take notice!

And yay for a washing machine and fridge - so exciting! If it’s safe to walk, maybe say hi to your neighbours - one of them might have something for you too, if we’re lucky!

Oh I’m so happy for you. And using way too many exclamation marks 😂

Good morning Laura, and every spoonies. So pleased you slept well, I did too!

It was a seafood platter my sister and I shared yesterday lunchtime, plus we were greedy and got a potion of chips as well😋

Today it’s freezing here but no snow, so I’m going to do a job I hate and that’s to defrost my freezer, it’s so snowed up I can’t remove the drawers! Still if I put the contents outside in this cold they won’t defrost.

Hope you have another lovely day🌺😘

Morning Laura and the rest of the Spoonies, no snow here ( I am almost as far south as you can get and we rarely get snow). So pleased you slept well Laura with no disturbance from stompy Pete. Yippee for being able to get washing done today Laura, no more washing knickers in the sink 😁
Have a lovely day sorting stuff in your beautiful new home and enjoy looking at the snow through your patio doors onto your garden. 🏠🥄🫕

Morning spoonies! So glad you had a good sleep Laura and that you have snow! That's lovely that it's nice and quiet. Do you have neighbours yet? Exciting for your fridge and washing machine.

It's my first work day of the week so I'm sitting at my desk with the cat purring on my knee. DD and I managed to make a quick snowman before I took her to nursery so she was happy! She's a bit confused though and thinks the snow means it's christmas so kept asking when we can get a Christmas tree. People drive like idiots, it wasn't terrible on the roads but not great, a bit of slushy snow n the middle. I was going 40 mph (plenty fast enough) and someone decided to drive 2 m from my bumper.

Wow it's so beautiful and modern looking, I know it's a new build but I wasn't expecting it to be so plush. Your parents are being amazing and it's just what you need at the moment. Crafting has been the saviour for my mental health. I never thought of myself as artistic, or more truthfully thought I'm rubbish. However I am finally able to say that I have got a lot better and don't say it anymore. My daughter won't let me say it, she'll tell me off if I do. 😂

You are a similar age to me then@Apolloneuro . I was 49 when COVID came along. You do get better at gauging what you can and can't do, when you have a long term health problem but I still have days where I am too stubborn for my own good and only realise that I have overdone it, after the fact.
Keeping weight from building up is something I really struggle with too.

@AdmittowearingCrocs I was just glad that I didn't know what my son had said, before I was talking to his tutor. There's loads of funny stories I could tell you about our kids, where they have different perceptions or interactions with the world. It's part of the fun of having kids who are ND. It's only as they have become older that they are able to explain the way they think to me, that I've had a few lightbulb moments too. I'd never change them for the world and it's not totally negative bringing up kids with SEN. They have some amazing strengths too.

I used to teach in a Primary School. One day, the whole school had to endure I mean enjoy listening to the school orchestra.

At the back was a lovely boy with autism. During a quiet moment, he loudly said “They are AWFUL!”

”Yes.” everyone said to themselves “Yes they are.”

Hi @PeggyMitchellsCameo , I’ve already said hello but hi 😂
Cant believe change in the weather it’s so cold 🥶
So I’ve had another lovely but hectic day. Mum and dad have only just shortly gone home. I never thought I’d say this but I’m absolutely shopped out I don’t want to see a homeware shop or a supermarket for a few weeks 😂
We went to the range again today. My mum got me some lovely bits , a curtains like for my patio doors and some gorgeous curtains for them and then she got me some pictures , a long white mirror , mugs to match kitchen , diffuser , a lovely vase of artificial flowers and other bits and bobs then we went to Morrisons and they got me a food shop and then they bought me a lovely coat as ex burnt all mine so once again I’ve been spoilt rotten . We had a lovely microwave tea it was a curry but was lovely and now I feel shattered 😂
Washing machine is in and fridge /freezer. Freezer is completely full of chicken breasts, steaks, beef mince and 4/5 joints of meat from my dad’s butchers. I feel so incredibly lucky.
School still hasn’t got back to me , tired calling a few times today but nobody had looked at the email yet which is frustrating but will try again tomorrow. Washer man decided to christen my toilet with a stinky so I’ve just gave it a good clean and he left my bathroom window wide open so was freezing upstairs 😂xx

Ah the ‘joys’ of having people in to fit things 😅

But again yay for your parents and boo to the school.

I’m so thrilled about how your home is coming together for you 🙏🏻

Hi @nornironlady , how was your afternoon at the Christmas market? I love a Christmas market I’d love to visit one abroad.
Awww thank you so much for sending me a gift in the post that’s so kind , I can’t wait for it to arrive .
I havnt got any gifts yet going to be hard this year but I will do what I can and make up for it next year. I’m normally nearly done by now or at least half way. Hope you’ve had a lovely day xx

Hi @TealPoet , are you ok and how’s your day been? Good I hope.
First night in house was lovely thank you , I’m really looking forward to spending a full day in it tomorrow and not having to venture out . I havnt met the neighbours yet as it’s been snowing here and very icy and I’ve been out most of day but I will definitely introduce myself soon.
Awww that’s so so sweet of you to send me something , thank you so very much. Your so lovely and kind.
I have emailed my MP and her secretary emailed me back and said they are pleased to hear I’ve now got a home which was lovely.
Going to have a day at home tomorrow sorting a few bits out, sorting my craft box out , doing some washing and I’m going to hoover and mop my kitchen and bathroom floors . I can’t wait xx

Hi @Nottogetapenny , how’s your day been? Did you manage to defrost the freezer?It’s been absolutely freezing here today.
Glad to hear you slept well and your lunch with your sister sounds delicious and I order chips with everything, isn’t that normal?😂xx

Good evening @AdmittowearingCrocs , how are you today? Hope you’ve had a good day despite it being nothing day (Tuesday)😂
It’s so so quiet here and peaceful , I can’t wait for my children to see it.
Im so happy I don’t have to wash knickers in the sink anymore 😂 and that I can have nice smelling clothes again. Took a picture of the snow for you earlier ….
xx

@Imbluedalale I hope you don’t mind me bobbing on. I have read your thread from when it started and I’m so pleased things are so much brighter for you. Enjoy your new home you deserve to feel safe. ❤️
@Apolloneuro Love your Wicked nails can’t wait for the film release this Friday 🧙‍♀️

Hi @RaspberryBeretxx , how are you?I still absolutely love your name btw , it’s so classy and elegant . I have neighbours in my right I think the house is still empty on the left . But I havnt been at home for 2 days as been shopping so I’m looking forward to having a day at home tomorrow .
Awww I bet your daughter absolutely loved making a snowman , did you put a carrot in it for its nose?😂Thats so cute that she thinks it’s Christmas because if the snow. You will have to put the tree up now 😂
I hate driving in the snow I’m glad I can’t drive at the moment it really makes me nervous. 2 christmases ago I took my youngest to a football match in Sheffield and it’s very hilly there . I was on a hill at traffic lights my absolute worst nightmare and my foot slipped and car rolled back into car behind me . Took all insurance details etc and got back in car and I did it again! Rolled straight back into him! So now I have a huge fear of hills and traffic lights and driving in the snow xx

Hi @BeNavyCrab , how’s your day and evening going?
Thank you so much , I really do love it and I love everything about it. I feel so incredibly lucky.
I too love crafting more so since I was at the crisis house , I can’t wait to get started on my craft book. I’d love to see some of your crafts one day , we can share what each of us have done xx

Your kids sound amazing @BeNavyCrab , I can’t wait to hear more stories about them xx
