Morning! I'm awake stupidly early for some reason. My brain does love to do this to me every now and then!

I'm listening to the birds tweeting, so they're up too!

Most, your beach huts are very cute. I love those designs.

Crazy, your telephone conversations sound cute!

Firefly, that was so nice of you re the swing. My two are loving their outside toys. The in-laws are getting them a goal to share for Easter as they've been trying to make one out of bits of greenhouse racking! I think they'll appreciate it!

Firefly, I've messaged Boots to check up on her. Potentially her laptop has given up totally. I'm hoping it's that as I'm worried about her and her DH.

What is the name stealing thing about, by the way?

And how was your delivery, Wreck?

Fluffy there's a poster with the name WreckTangled95 - confused me for a little while but it's not our Wreck.

Your baking Wreck 😍

Please let us know if you hear from puss Fluffy, I'm worried about her and her DH too.

I've been up for about an hour, no idea why 🙄.
I've attached updated pics of 'Joey' - just beak and feet to go!

Morning everyone 😀
Wreck I saw that someone had stolen your name how very dare they! 😂
Crazy don't worry I will not start watching Grey's anatomy 😂😂😂 .I know it's about 15 or 16 series. I thought I can have a good look at that with all this time on my hands but nah I can't stand the emotional upheaval. I got enough of that in real life 😄
I can't wait to see Joey. I think he's going to be magnificent. I love the little black dots you did around his face, just like a real budgie 🧡🤗
Fluffy I have messaged Boot not had a reply but I'm hoping everything is fine
I'm sure it will be 🤗🤞
Fire that was so kind of you to give the swing and the booze up. I don't know if I would have given the booze up 😂😂😂. Everything is fine with Pidgy , he seems fine this morning going to try him again at Mum's where he is used to 🤞🤗
Why glad your night shifts are over love, when you've got so little to do on nights it's excruciating so bad , never mind ,glad you had a few hours sleep, back to normal day shifts now much much better 💐😄
On another note, poor Boris 😓.I'm astonished at how upset I feel about him , not that I hate him or anything but I've never really thought much about him but it was very upsetting last night to find out he was being admitted to ITU. Get well soon Boris 💐🤗
Up to Bob's soon , take care everyone 🤗

WreckTangled · 07/04/2020 07:55

Fluffy it's just someone with the same username with me with some numbers on the end. It confused me Grin

DH woke me up this morning with the smell of coffee I'll get up in a minute.

Crazy the hummingbird bakery oat and raisin cookie recipe makes the best cookies ever.

Mrsmadevans · 07/04/2020 07:58

X posted with youCrazy 😄
Joey IS magnificent 😍❤️ well done you clever girl 👏👏👏😀

WreckTangled · 07/04/2020 07:58

Oh and my food delivery. No paracetamol and a few subs. One of them being ds' white chocolate eater egg (the Milky Way one with the cow too) was subbed for 5(!) smaller Milky Way eggs Grin he only likes whites chocolate. I'm going to plan an amazing egg hunt though.

Mrsmadevans · 07/04/2020 07:59

Wreck am going to try them later but have no raisens , will try them without 🤗😄😂

Mrsmadevans · 07/04/2020 08:02

Not a bad delivery then Wreck really by the sounds. Love the sound of the Easter egg hunt 👏👏👏🐰🐣🥚🐰

FireflyGirl · 07/04/2020 08:15

Ooh, I love pat and raisin cookies and I have the Hummingbird Bakery book! May have found my next baking project! Grin

Is your username a reference to something, then, Wreck? I just assumed it was random.

Crazy Joey is looking amazing! Your DMIL (I think?!) is going love him!

MrsM I don't like BJ, and while I obviously feel a bit sorry for him (and a bit not - this is why you need PPE to touch people who have CV, moron), I have more sympathy for his partner, who has also had it, and now has the worry of the father of her unborn child being in intensive care!!

WreckTangled · 07/04/2020 08:38

No it's just random. I'm only joking I know I don't own the name Grin But when I see people replying I'm thinking 'huh, I didn't post anything?!'

PJMasksGhekko · 07/04/2020 10:26

Morning, Must get dressed!!

Today's jobs are washing, clean washing away and hoovering upstairs, the dog is malting big time.

WreckTangled · 07/04/2020 10:40

I've washed all the bedding and done a HIIT. Just need to hang the washing out, hope fluffy is proud as I would usually chuck it in the drier BlushGrin

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 07/04/2020 10:43

Those cookies look lovely wreck

Love the bird crazy

I am so happy that I have been able to hang the washing outside every day since the lockdown began, it gives me a real sense of happiness weirdly.

PJMasksGhekko · 07/04/2020 11:46

Nothing weird, I like getting it out too, can get loads more done too, I just hate putting it all away Grin

Ha ha Wreck, think of the electric you've saved by putting it on the line Smile

WreckTangled · 07/04/2020 12:03

Yes I do feel better for having hung it out despite the fact the our washing mine is broken so is only about four foot high right now.

Also it's lovely out here. It's going to be really warm tomorrow and Thursday, in the low 20's. The pollen is bad though even my nose is running and I don't usually suffer.

WreckTangled · 07/04/2020 12:04

Actually really should have kept ds' bedding indoors. That was silly. Might have to re wash it and hang it inside.

PJMasksGhekko · 07/04/2020 12:50

Ah bless him.

Mrsmadevans · 07/04/2020 17:34

WreckTangled · 07/04/2020 18:45

Mrs I got a click and collect for the 18th! Just saw it there earlier, not the usual store we go to but a similar distance so no problem there.

Mrsmadevans · 07/04/2020 21:20

Wreck YAY! Well done you are a Star

WreckTangled · 07/04/2020 21:41

I got sunburnt today Blush

NoWordForFluffy · 08/04/2020 07:31

Morning! Looks like it'll be nice today for my last day at work. I've so much to do; I've no idea how I'll get it done! Not my problem though really, I suppose.

Wreck, well done on the C&C and the sunburn! 😱 It's going to be dry / warm for the foreseeable future apparently. It would be more useful if the rainfall evened itself out a bit really!

I've not heard from Boots. I really hope she's OK (and her DH).

OP posts:
WreckTangled · 08/04/2020 08:22

We're expecting 22° for the next four days. I will wear cream I promise Grin

Fluffy hope you enjoy your last day

I've had an awful night because my insulin pump failed. I woke up with a high sugar level feeling ill so did an injection, changed the pump then lied there for an hour and a half feeling really ill until I was eventually sick then managed to go back to sleep. I've got an awful headache now will have to take one of the very scarce paracetamol.

PJMasksGhekko · 08/04/2020 09:06

Morning. Oh no Wreck bless you, take it easy today, I need to go chemist today and pick up my prescription.
