PSB so glad you kept her home bless her 😘 hope she is better soon 🤗

They say it takes an hour per year of your age Seafood. I can't drive, and we don't have a car. It's cheaper to use public transport in London.

Mrsmadevans · 28/11/2018 10:26

Frange great news re the scan m'dear , l am sure the moving will be amazing for you all it is just a case of settling in 😘

Mrsmadevans · 28/11/2018 10:27

I went in at 5.30 Mrs, said "Are you going to school?" She shook her head. She wants to go tomorrow.

Mrsmadevans · 28/11/2018 10:30

Better shift have a great day everyone 😘😀

Seafoodeatit · 28/11/2018 10:31

philomena oh dear, I'm not sure what that says about me, I'm 28, my family say I'm an old soul though so I predict I'll need about 80 now! Buses are expensive and sparse here, hence my desperation to drive.

mrs it'll be a great way to ring in the new year at least :) lets face it after Christmas it's all a bit depressing and dark and just a slog waiting for spring - is for me at least. I love christmas bedding! what print have you put on now?

Mrsmadevans · 28/11/2018 10:31

PSB good for you my dear bless her heart 😍😘

Mrsmadevans · 28/11/2018 10:33

Can you see the pattern Sea , it's from George a year or two ago never put it on before ,will try again 🤣🤣

Oh dear Seafood, 28 and had 40 hours! You'll get there in the end! 😂

Seafoodeatit · 28/11/2018 10:35

mrs photo has just shown up on my screen, very pretty bedding :) I'm a pretty nervous driver too, I imagine I won't be eating the day or night before my driving test!

AceyMac13 · 28/11/2018 10:38

Just having a coffee break. Need to wake myself up! At least I’m going to be prepared when Addie arrives Grin

Marzipan is devil food 🤢 although, it seems that it’s just me who thinks that 😂

Still coughing but it’s not constant like yesterday. The plus side is I managed to actually lay down in bed last night, instead of having to be propped up. I think it’s a chest infection, well I hope so and nothing more serious!

It’s miserable here too, wet and windy!

My grandad text me saying devil cat domino keeps pulling the tree down😂

Right, better get back to work. I’ll reply to you all when I get home Smile

AceyMac13 · 28/11/2018 10:40

I’m not allowed to drive because I suffer with vertigo :( would make my life easier if I could!

BiddyPop · 28/11/2018 10:54

I had to bring Dd to dr this morning- I got my car parked at train just as surgery reception opened so made the call - I’m literally just on the train now almost 2.5 hrs later. Different ear problem, new meds so pharmacy trip, new note for nurse, back to school (and sneaky 10 minutes detour to storage so I do have advent calendar and bedding for Friday night!), and back to car park where I was lucky to find a space! Christmas prep going badly as last nights plan of making soup, cleaning and knitting turned into clearing a blocked drain. I’ve decided that I am doing nothing Saturday afternoon. Just need to tell sailing ladies that, gulp!

Love the robins MrsMad.

Enjoy the day with dd PB.

waves to everyone, have a lovely day!

BiddyPop · 28/11/2018 10:55

Ooh look. The sun is coming out here! Makes me feel happier for being so late to see that!! (Twas miserable rain all morning again).

FrangelicoCandyBoughs · 28/11/2018 13:10

Little Enid or Newt will be here with us on the 18th December!Grin

AceyMac13 · 28/11/2018 13:12

Afternoon!

Waiting for my grocery shopping to be delivered any time in the next hour, and also my giant order of maternity clothes should be here by 2pm according to the tracking. Which one will arrive first Grin exciting times!

Mrs - I’m so excited to have internet and tv at long last, yay Xmas Grin aye my maverick is a wee stunner, I love him dearly Grin thank you my lovely, I hope they manage to sort me out tomorrow. I’m thinking chest infection, but I’m not a medical professional so who knows Grin I love the tree too, it’s super special because my nephew decorated it. He said to me yesterday, ‘auntie Acey is it really really true that Santa’s coming soon?’ Wee cutie he is Grin

Wheelie - aww thank you sugar, I love your Lilah too she’s so cute Grin I will definitely make sure the dr checks my lungs out too. Hopefully you are much warmer today Grin

Crazy - I hope the gp can help too, this constant lack of sleep is driving me mad! Love the decorations, they are all fabulous I can’t pick a favourite Grin well done completing your audit.

Seafood - it’s been a wee bit better today, so hopefully the dr can help tomorrow and I may sleep a bit better tonight! It only feels like yesterday that I moved back home here, crazy how fast it goes Grin that bus driver sounds like a class A muppet, i hope you are doing better today lovely Flowers

Oooo groceries are here yay, I’ll be back Grin

AceyMac13 · 28/11/2018 13:12

18th December that’s so exciting frange Grin

PhilomenaButterfly · 28/11/2018 13:43

DD had a jumbo sausage roll for lunch. 😋

WreckTangled · 28/11/2018 13:55

Frange that's my dh's birthday. Exactly one week before Christmas Smile

Seafoodeatit · 28/11/2018 13:57

biddy sorry your evening got derailed blocked drains are the worst, doing nothing on saturday sounds like a good idea! you need time off to unwind too.

frangelico It must feel very close/real now that you have a date!

FrangelicoCandyBoughs · 28/11/2018 14:04

I know I can’t believe in less that 3 weeks I’ll have another baby!.

WheelchairWoes · 28/11/2018 14:41

OMG frange!!! So soon!!!! Will we get tons and tons of photos I hope?

biddy Oh that sucks so badly!! Did you at least get the drain cleared? lol

Acey LOL your poor grandad and his tree. It honestly sounds like you have a chest infection vs anything worse. If you were really sick you'd know it and not be able to do all you are doing lol

Mrs I ADORE that pattern! It makes me super happy! I put sheets on my chair and couch as covers because I'm not going to spend $50 on a cover for the couch when I can buy cheap seasonal sheets and they work well enough. LOL I need to get some that are Christmas themed lol

I've never ever had Marzipan! It's always in my plans to do so but I never have yet lol

PSB I hope your DD feels better soon.

It's sunny today but cold but it's going to rain Friday to Sunday but at least be a bit warmer lol. I have someone from a home care agency coming to do an intake so I'll get home nursing again. I always panic when I'm letting strangers into my house so I'm really really nervous.

Lilah used me as a cat bed all night and it made sleeping a bit hard but it was nice to get kitten snuggles.

Tomorrow I have a dermatology appointment. I'm not looking forward to that because it's a new doctor and so I'm like....please please be a nice doctor? I have a genetic connective tissue disease which affects my skin but also I have tons and tons of moles. So I have to go and get a cancer check periodically and make sure all is swell.

I figure we'll start painting after noon lol
