New thread. We're picking up speed!

Night night!

MrsMad is your nearest Sainsbury's in Cwmbran? I love the Newport one but always spend £££ in there.

Firefly do you know when the next 25% off is coming? I take my mum (because she's too nervous to drive to the big one) and we tend to buy loads, especially for Christmas so I'm assuming it's soon?

Wreck you have my sympathy especially as you're feeling ill and can't have cake 😱 Do you make yourself any diabetes friendly cakes?

I'm in work and on a countdown to home time already. My day is full of boring meetings and getting on top of little annoying admin type tasks which I put off until I have enough to keep me busy for a day.

I started the cross stitch. I'm enjoying it but it's so slow going that I'm not sure I have the patience for it. I'll post a pic later - I'm not convinced by the pattern but I'll stick to it just so I can get it done.

I do make some things, it's expensive though.

It's really chilly outside today! House is still warm enough without heating though.

Morning!

My phone network is down, hence not posting til now (snuck on at work!).

Chilly here too. The bathroom was really cold today, but the rest of the house was OK (our bathroom is always cold!).

Best get back to work...

Hi everyone, sorry I haven’t been on. I’ve been knocked sick, and now the girls have it. Just popping on to say hi, I hope you’re all okay!. I feel sick just typing so I won’t try and catch up, but I hope everyone’s well.

Morning all.

There's a definite nip in the air today. The forecast gives it to rain at 4 so I'll get the clothes out on the line till then.

It is chilly. DD (1) and I went out to a country park this morning- mud everywhere, but very crisp and autumnal. Lovely clear skies and crunchy leaves.

Anyone planned their visit to Father Christmas yet?

Love the pics Mrs!

Made some more progress on Christmas today. Have bought the new Paw Patrol DVD and a calendar for DS.

Evening everyone
Crazy, yes my nearest Sains is Cwmbran but the Newport one is marvellous for clothes l love it ! I am going to go there and try a few things on next time l go there the clothes are so me! Well done on the cross stitch m'dear
Fluffy hope your network is ok now it is freezing here , have put the heating on at 5 and poor DH has an attack of Afib this afternoon so he is taking it easy bless him .
Firefly yes please m'dear if you hear of the 25% off event let me know too , l will meet Crazy and her Mum there l expect
Wreck when is your interview m'dear? Is it tomorrow or next Friday? Good luck if it is tomorrow
Thank you Fanny will keep an eye out on the website too
Em thank you m'dear l thought you would enjoy them
So l go to look after Mum today and she comes out with this. My sister told her she thinks l have had a mental breakdown
No l said l have never been so sane. This is my sister trying to make out the row last Thursday (because of her telling Mum l am not grieving Dad , My best friend or my MIL , ) is because l am crazy. Nothing to do with her evil filthy mouth. Honestly l could not make this stuff up. Hey ho SMH!
Anyway, Fanny that lunch sounds absolutely delicious m'dear and l am off to make a lasagne too

Ahhh thank you Fanny you are so kind , yes he is fine now thank goodness. He was putting off taking the pills because it wasn't a full on attack just the odd beat every few secs but l told him to take them because he had this terrible head that he always gets with it so l knew it was Afib. Am going to make a med veg lasagne Thank you for the idea

Oh Mrs, I'm glad your DH is OK now.

I reviewed some medical records the other day and my client had heart attack symptoms and went to bloody bed, only going to hospital the next day! I was 😱😱😱 when I read it!

I think 3 is up and running now. But it was still crap on my way home from work.

Fluffy Than you m'dear it must have been a man lol only a man could do that
Glad your phone is up and running it's so annoying and stressful !
Fanny l can taste it now as you speak lol
What is it about men and their health joins Fanny in banging head

Yep. It was a man!! (Obviously!)

Nutters !

Just finished watching Grand Designs and am wondering how the hell they got planning for that ? I liked the inside mind but they didn't want to say how much they spent on it lol. DH said he thought Marta was going to fall out of her cocoon onto her head , he's feeling better

They are complaining about 3 on Watchdog. They say to turn the phone off and on and the aeroplane mode off and on to see if it sorts it out .

I did that about a dozen times each and no joy. It came back on its own eventually!

Ahhh l knew you would have done it Fluffy
Fanny ........Men ay ?

Been researching Advent calendars , the very popular No 7 is out a week today , if you want one from online then they are advising to notify them on the site. £42 for £176 worth or so they say

Morning!

I think it chucked it down for most of the night. The ground is very wet!

Hurrah for Friday! 🥳🥳🥳

What weekend plans do people have? I'm at the allotment tomorrow morning and then I think we're going to the park on Sunday to get the kids out if it's dry. It's meant to be.

It's definitely starting to be consistently cooler, isn't it?

I've found a free firework display to go to on 2 Nov, which is good (especially as the kids aren't always that great with all the banging!). It's nice and early too. Most start after bedtime, which doesn't work for us (our kids don't do late nights well).

Morning!

@Mrsmadevans - I've decided I'm going to pin my hopes on getting the Elle advent calendar for half price on black Friday (they did this last year) as its got the biggest number of things I'd actually use (but I'm not paying £115!)
Hope your DH is feeling better today?

It's a horrid grey day today, my DH is away so need to drag my self up now and get DDog up and out in the rainI need all the coffee to get going though...
