Glad your face is better @CrazyBaubles you have been really busy m'dear Smile pity about the bucks fizz going to your DDad but it sounds as though it was very well received Grin

Watching DOI just now, Libby is so brave , she has a tiny amount of peripheral vision in her left eye and that is it. She has to trust her partner so much . I suppose she is used to it when running but Jesus wept when you are on the ice it's lethal. All credit to her !

How exciting for your DD, mrs, is she excited?. I’m the same with the kids when they’re poorly, but when DH is poorly he gets no sympathy😂. DD is still feeling poorly, she’s got a nasty cough and high temp. I’m hoping she can sleep tonight and get some rest, but have a feeling the cough will keep her up.🙁

What’s Christmassy about the muffins, fluffy?, they look tasty. The brownie looks amazing.

Thank you for your well wishes, crazy. I hope your face feels better tomorrow❤️

That’s awful, wreck, definitely report. I’ve always had good experiences with auto trade but that’s awful. I hope the next one is better!

Just watched the Liverpool game. I’m unreasonably infuriated by the fans on the pitch, I can’t stand it. It’s what puts me off going to the football with DC. Some people just take it too far. Sorry for my rant! Off to get the DC to bed now, hoping DD is well enough for school tomorrow but we shall see.

I have a load of unopened Betnovate from Mum still in the box from Nevill Hall Hospital Crazy if you are interested, they have taken her off it now Grin am only half joking it's yours if you want it , will send it to an address of your choice m'dear.
Fanny , wonderful idea l will put it to DD2 now Flowers Grin

Mrsmadevans · 26/01/2020 19:22

She is excited Mumba but she doesn't really believe it so she isn't counting her chickens as yet lol !
Your poor DD ahh it's horrible when they are poorly.Flowers
We watched most of the game l don't watch footie that much then we had to turn over for DD2 to watch DOI Hmm Grin. l am so pleased SHREWSBURY drew though Yay!

Mumbassa · 26/01/2020 20:46

It is so surreal isn’t it,mrs. I remember when DH and I moved into our house and I felt like I was playing pretend. Are you watching DOI, still no mention of what’s happened with Hamish and Caprice. But she’s back!

Mrsmadevans · 26/01/2020 20:55

We watched DOI , l love the Blue Peter boy but he was pants this week.
No mention of the row with Caprice but l can see her going very soon. She doesn't seem very popular to say the least Hmm
Think DD2 will believe it when she has the keys in her sweaty mitts Grin

@Fanny , YES! I bet you did Smile
It's all a bit surreal yet tbh , we have been looking for a house since last June for her ever since she got the job and she knew she wanted to live there . We have seen some shockers too Grin, as you know l hate Cardiff but this is the nicest place apart from LLandaff , which is mega expensive, we have seen . I just hope we are doing the right thing but everyone has to start off somewhere and we have given it a hell of lot of thought . Fingers crossed Grin

Mumbassa · 26/01/2020 23:19

I thought Libby did really well. Especially with the spin, I can’t imagine how disorienting it would’ve been. She definitely doesn’t seem popular, apparently she’s suing due to bullying.

Morning!

I don't watch DoI. Never have. Strictly is enough for me!

We've found a programme about Yorkshire and the Lakes on Together TV that we watch. It's a lovely programme!

DS must be tired. He slept until just gone 8 yesterday morning then asked to go to bed at 6.30 last night! I think him trying so hard at school and managing to be good absolutely annihilates him, bless him!

How easy is it for DD to get to work from the house, Mrs? Does she go on public transport?

Morning!

DD isn’t in school today, she slept with us last night and was up coughing and spluttering. She’s fast asleep now, so I will keep her warm today and give her lots of food and fluids.

Will the cats do as they're told, flouncy? Or will they just snuggle up on the bed and ignore their task?

Being good and compliant for 7.5 hours non-stop is very tiring for a 5 year old! Grin It's also why he's a pain in the arse at home sometimes!

NoWordForFluffy · 27/01/2020 07:05

No, 6.5 hours!

Good cats then! 😂😂

Yes. I can at least vent my frustration at work to my colleagues. He doesn't have that luxury, poor sausage. And he struggles due to his sensory processing issues too. Though the investigation for that is moving slower than a glacier.

Our naughty cat wakes us up every morning scratching on our door Angry if we leave our door open he scratches the bed. He's already ruined it which I'm not happy about!

Wet and dark here today. Matches my mood Grin

It's affording it really, flouncy, as DD would then need to do something else. And fitting it in too.

It's a good drying day, flouncy!
