Thank you Mrs I'll probably head to bed myself before too terribly long. It's early but I'm hurting and feeling pretty cruddy. So some sleep will do me good

Morning! Got up at 5 for DD's reading booster, I'll get her up at 5.50. Drinking coffee and watching BBC breakfast news. 😋Brew

NoWordForFluffy · 22/01/2019 06:55

Morning!

I'm a touch tired today, probably due to all of my running round yesterday! I almost ran from the station to pick DD up from school (got there as the door opened!) and then walked to the hospital and back (a 4 mile round trip almost) as I'm too tight to pay the parking charge! 😂

Mrs, another busy day for you. I get work was less tiring! Did you sort the care package though?

Wheelie, sorry to hear about your complications. I hope you get sorted and recover very quickly. Flowers

Cish, hormones are bastards! The timing seems about right for it to be hormonal, but it could also be a combination of factors. I'm glad they've eased off anyway.

Woolly, the snot is the worst thing, isn't it? Just so tedious having to keep blowing your nose! When my sinuses were bad last year I marvelled at the amount created. It's dead cells, dontcha know?! 🤢😂

Crazy, I hope you're managing to cope. It's such an emotional and emotionally exhausting time you're going through. Flowers

And poorly boy update: no spots by bedtime. His colour has improved a bit though and his cough appears to have lessened as well, thankfully. We're keeping him off today as well, as there's no point sending him back half well as he'll just get worse again.

NoWordForFluffy · 22/01/2019 06:59

PB, what time does your poor DD have to leave the house? That's so early to get up!

I love the Red Box idea. I don't think I've seen one locally. Will have to investigate.

PhilomenaButterfly · 22/01/2019 07:57

She leaves at 7.30 Fluffy.

The Red Box Project is amazing, I feel a bit overwhelmed by what I've got myself into, but having Adventure say yes is so exciting! 😆 I'll keep it small, I'll approach whichever secondary school DD gets into as well.

Evening! Too damp here for frost, though it's going to dry up overnight and get frosty. I've put my 12 bare root shrubs which arrived yesterday in the shed to keep them safe from frost (or, at least, DH did anyway!).

I'm on the train home. The rail replacement bus between the centre and work and vice versa just add so much time to my journey home. Sigh.

DS has spots round his mouth now, but also has ear ache as well. I've no idea what's going on with him to be honest! I'll see when I finally get home!

Beautiful photos, Mrs. ❤️❤️

Not long til we migrate to the other thread!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 22/01/2019 19:08

We have snow , big flakey floaty snowflakes , and it looks like it'll freeze overnight .

(Should've been here this time LAST month Xmas Hmm )
