[NoWordForFluffy]

Oops.

I failed to notice we had completed thread 1!

So, better late than never, thread 2!

ahh ive just read your recent post fluffy and i understand what you were on about before mrs. can i just say im not a troll lol which i know i can’t proove. ive been on mn for a while and have lurked here but youre all lovely and tightknit so didnt want to join in just came to ask advice and now i just want to clear that up as mrs i see you are on the frugal thread that i am on. i have just hopped on to. trying to get my shit together lol 😆.

Nobody can help, sadly. We're all up the wall. I have a trial on 20th too, which adds to my workload. Frustrating. I know it's a blip, but it's tough going!

I've been cross stitching tonight (funnily enough). I've been going right. Tomorrow I'll finish right then go back left!

That is a great shame and not fair on you Fluffy
I think the cross stitch is amazing!

Morning!

It's the Ted Rodgers countdown day!

Crap sleep last night. Lots going round in my head.

Mrs, it's the same for everyone on our team. It's just peaks and troughs. I'm not hard done to, it's the nature of my job!

I'm allotmenting today, which will be fun after not enough sleep. 🙄

I'm awake after very little sleep too Fluffy 😴

DH has just left for a hike. He accidentally woke me by dropping something 🙄

I'm currently tucked up in bed watching Criminal Minds. I think I'm going to need a nana nap later.

Morning everyone 😀
Bob is alright thank God 🙏
His DD just text me now. Thank you all for your support ❤️ Mum was very relieved l can tell you 🤗
Fluffy, weather is going to get bad LTR today but terrible tomorrow they say. Enjoy the allotment today 🤗
Your work is swings and roundabouts by the sound of it. I experienced that when l worked, some days we would have 26 admissions and other days nine it was mental 😷😀
Fanny l will get my DH to sort the garden out for the storm thank you for the heads up m'dear 😁
Crazy , criminal minds was it series 15 started this week I think. I live it 🤗
enjoy 😀
Mum just rung . l sent her back to sleep DD will go up LTR to see to her
No plans, except we may take Mum up to see him LTR
Have a good day everyone 😀

Morning everyone. It was lovely to stay in bed longer today I have house work and shopping to do though.

Crazy I love a nap. It has been ages since I had time for one though.

Fluffy I don't envy you the allotment shiz. I will think about you though #SisterlyLove

Morning Flouncy and Mrs hope you are both OK.

Hello to anyone else who is about.

Morning!! I've not long been up, what a lazy cow

I will try and serve her last, she had leave last weekend though so fingers crossed she does today

Going to pop B and M to see if they have orange balls for the dog, I want 2 as last year we went through loads of tennis balls as she kept abandoning them in the bushes over the field, this way she will drop one for me to throw the other one, well that's my cunning plan anyway

Hurrah re Bob!

I'm not a napper. Even when pregnant / with a new baby. I tend to feel sick if I nap. I'm weird.

I did just over 3 hours at the allotment. I'm dead now! It was lovely there as the sun was coming up and the birds were singing. The two robins came to harass me for worms too. They're very demanding. 😂 I throw some of the worms I dig up a bit of a distance away so they don't have to come close to me. Sometimes they'll come right up to me though, if they're desperate to badger me!

I haven't given into a nap yet but I've been on 2 walks before sitting down to the rugby so tiredness is going to hit me hard soon. I've added some pics of the walks (the Folly for the locals).

MrsMad it is series 15 of Criminal Minds and while I hate to be the one to tell you, it's been confirmed it's the final one ☹️

Preparing myself for DH to start shouting his head off at the screen soon 🙄 and settling down to cross stitch

Wow well done fluffy, love the Robins they sound like they like you

Wow your walk looks lovely Crazy

Glad Bob is alright Mrs

The dog decided it was a good idea to roll in fox poo, totally forgetting she hates baths, tough luck, she stank, the bath is her punishment for rolling in the bloody stuff not envy either.

Just enjoying a cuppa before changing my bed then work.

Evening all

Just checking in. Everyone okay?

Hi Chips!

I'm OK. Are you?

Morning!

Definitely wet and very windy here. For the first time in I don't know how long, all of our windows are shut tight. We normally have them on vent at the very least (upstairs anyway).

I had almost-9 hours' sleep last night which was needed! My brewing cold has taken that opportunity to develop, however. Joy.

We have a combi boiler and electric shower so will be going unwashed if the power goes off! We don't often get power cuts and we do live in a very windy place. That's tempting fate right there!

Morning everyone 😀
I had a such a busy day yesterday, my sister phoned my mother's house in the morning and really upset my daughter. My daughter was crying because she could hear her telling my mum that I had been playing mind games by leaving the phone off the hook so that my sister couldn't speak to her/get in touch. I hadn't done anything of the sort.
My mum leaves the phone off the hook all the time, she leaves the tap running all the time, she loses her phone, glasses, hearing aids, spills things, forgets to eat, drink and be merry 😂. My daughter tried to defend me and spoke to her on the phone impassioned because she had enough of it and my sister said 'who do you think you are speaking to me like that" and ranting at her my daughter gave the phone back to my mother while she was still ranting. I haven't heard from my Mum this morning so l expect my sister has been having a go again. Honestly l can't win 🙄.
Hope everyone is ok with the weather. I can't see any damage yet but l think there will be some definitely.
I can't read the posts to reply because l have to go to do Mum but have a good day everyone 😀.

Your sister is such a cow, Mrs. I can't stand the woman and don't even know her (I wouldn't want to!).

I've spent about 90 minutes doing my Consumer Rights Act letter to the garage. My MiL said she'd cry if she got it, so hopefully it'll hit the spot and the garage will send us the money I'm asking for! If not I'll send a Letter Before Action and also raise a S75 claim with the credit card company. One way or another I'll get money back!

Hope it isn't too bad with you all , been pretty bad here to be honest lots of trees down blocking the roads, rain is terrible, rivers are up , l wouldn't be surprised if there are floods
Fluffy, l know, she is a horrible , horrible woman. She knew she had been found out & blown her cover because today she told my Mum 'everyone is all over the place since Dad died, l'm sorry l spoke to her like that ' l can't make it up really l can't. I said to Mum actions speak louder than words, trouble is Mum defends her all the time to me and l get so fed up of it l get cross. Is it any wonder.
I am sure you will get your money back stick with it , honestly they have picked on the wrong woman!
Glad you had a good sleep too , we have been so tired lately l think it is the worry over Mum and Bob , the stress takes it out of us .
Must go see what has been happening here now will be back !

Thank you why l'm glad you had a lie in today don't do too much, back to the countryside driving tomorrow you may find your way blocked m'dear!
Wreck where the devil are you , been looking forward to your pics with the flooding and the trees down you would have a field day with this weather! Hope you are ok m'dear
PJ good luck with the orange ball search, naughty bow wow rolling in fox poo why the hell do they like doing that I hope horrible woman patient is not there tonight for you m'dear
Thank you re Bob good wishes , he is a sweetie really
Fluffy well done on the allotments they look fab you have worked so hard m'dear, l love Robins, my favourite birds
Crazy your walk looks lovely, the Folly, it is lovely there
I expect your DH was shouting his head off yesterday l know my lot were l left them to it and went upstairs to watch Poirot
I wish Criminal Minds wasn't finishing it is such a great show.
New Agatha Christie tonight 9pm, must tape it to watch the two episodes together next week. I hate being kept in limbo
We will watch Endeavor tonight , l am not sure if this series is going to be the last of Endeavor too
Fanny on the 23rd there is a second series of BANG on S4C , l can't wait it was brilliant
Chips how are you m'dear ? Hope everything is fine with you and yours

Crazy pic of the keepers road blocked , lots if homes without power here , 900 they say !

Lovely tea courtesy of DH
DOI on now, wind still blowing a gale!

Hi folks

I am driving for twenty minutes or so Mrs but then at my base all day so hopefully not too much dealing with bits of tree all over the place.

Has been horrendous here today. I had to laugh to myself though as when looking at Northants weather on Twitter I spotted one of my neighbours whose gazebo was destroyed in the storm and we are now having a bit of banter. (I do not know him just recognised the broken gazebo).
