most it's with a sprinkler head so he splashes everywhere and everything - he's not known for his accuracy or attention to detail Grin

Afternoon told you l would be back ! Grin
Beautiful day here Smile
Am just scoffing a large pkt of M & M's eggs , very nice too. Not as nice as the Terry's orange ones l am sure , judging by the scarcity of them on Tesco's shelves Grin
Fluffy well done on the shopio , when we went to Brynmawr for the
c & c from Asda, Farmfoods was the only shop without a queue We were sorely tempted but too scared cluckcluck chickens Grin
Also did you know that sunshine kills the virus within mins of exposure according to the Orange fountain of all knowledge aka POTUS! What a joke of a man. He just doesn't care what he says about anything to anyone. POS !
Most great recycling of water well done! Grin
Boot l think your Dh and mine would get on very well
equally childish Grin
Dh minus a tee shirt, not a good look l can assure you , is currently spraying the garden furniture/patio with his power tool Grin
Wreck that sounds fab for the Dc next week yay!
We were stopped by the polis on the way home from Bob's first time since lockdown , there was no hassle , just asked where we had been and where we were going. We told him we want to stay home, we don't want to go out, we wish we didn't have to do Mum & Bob. That is the truth, the whole truth so help me God, Officer Dibble. We didn't but we wanted to.Grin
I am very happy to say l haven't got CV Grin it's awful hay fever . Took an antihistamine this morning and l am fine Hmm

Photo of Non-Blingey-Ring .
Excuse the Hairy Trucker Hands Xmas Grin

Wedding Ring is a 2mm Halo ( tubular shape so really smooth) in 22ct gold .
I don't usually wear a ring against it because it'll wear the gold .

Eternity is a QVC finest Platinum plate on Silver 0.7carat equiv Diamonique ( that's CZ to you and me but their Own Brand )
I've had a fair lot of Diamonique over the years , been happy with 99% of it . I think I sent a couple of things back because the silver was too bright .

Tomorrow is another Rudolph Day Xmas Shock
Need to doodle in a notepad and think about booking a Christmas Trip for DH and I .

If everything goes to plan, this Christmas my DD will be in her First Year at University and my DS will be in his Final Year. Both still live at home (hey it's rent free , they get their washing done, food bought and we pay DS travel and will do for DD . What's not to tolerate love ? )

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 24/04/2020 17:53

Ah that is really sweet Xmas Grin

I don't think I'll sew gift bags for my DC but I could do a couple of CatNip beanbags for the cats . I did one for our previous cat - face flannel sewn up , catnip inside .
I could search out some of my old Christmas dishtowels .

I love the goose running away (from being Lunch obvs Xmas Grin )

My DH has just binge watched "Taboo" - one step up from 'Peaky Blinders' but only a small step ( I hated PK and I was unmoved by Taboo) It's not a Tom Hardy thing , I like him in other things .

We've just re-watched "Whtechapel" one of DD favourites .
I like Steve Pemberton so I joined in The Binge .

Note to self : Don't move to the Whitechapel area , it's on a par with Midsomer for Murders !

WreckTangled · 24/04/2020 17:55

Mrs I was being followed by a police car once and I had already imagined being pulled over, breathalised, losing my licence and ergo my job just as he put his blue lights on 😭 went straight past me mind 😂

WreckTangled · 24/04/2020 18:38

They're here!

Whoooo Wreck that looks bloody lovely , enjoy ! Smile Wine
You would have passed the test if he had stopped you lovely Grin
70 isn't it absolutely gorgeous l love it and yes he is escaping being the starring roll on the Christmas dinner !Grin
I am not keen on Tom Hardy , just not my cup of tea , l also don't like graphic violence so peaky blinders is out too , l suspect Taboo is the same am l right? We do love Whitechapel though Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 24/04/2020 19:08

They look amazing, Wreck!

Mrs, I've not really seen any police about, so at least you know yours have a presence! 😂

I did our erratic hosing today. It is yet another thing I'm better / more efficient at! ⭐️

70 my wedding ring is also 22ct, but it's really chunky/heavy, which was fine in the winter/when it was cold and i was a lot thinner, but won't fit over my fat knuckles now. I was a properly daft bat for choosing and paying for it tbh. Yours is the style I wanted, but I was in a bit of a flap/rush at the time.
I love the eternity ring, it looks real to me!
Mrs and Wreck I've been followed by the rozzers a few times. It does concentrate the mind somewhat squeaky bum time even if you know you haven't robbed a bank or eaten some sherry trifle. Grin
Wreck if you're still sober(ish) report back on the cocktails!

Morning! I've been awake ages, but had a relatively early night as I couldn't stay awake!

My rings are an unusual design. I ended up just getting a second version of the engagement ring as my wedding ring as no other ring fitted with it (it's twisted all round the band).

Wreck, how is your head?!

I'm allotmenting again today. Talk about hard slog!

Beautiful rings 70 :) these are mine.

How is your head this morning wreck Grin

Holding out hope for the garden centre delivery arriving today!

Morning. I'm fine I only had one glass, I'm not a big drinker Grin

DH is working today I don't plan on doing much. Got another Asda delivery slot booked up last night.

My rings are pretty standard.

Most your hands look so lovely and young compared to mine BlushGrin

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 25/04/2020 08:11

They are lovely rings wreck and your hands are much better manicured than mine!!

NoWordForFluffy · 25/04/2020 08:14

Do you wear your rings while gardening, Most?!

Mine are now attached as I'm in a room that's light!

You're doing well with your deliveries, Wreck. I'm just going to go to Sainsbury's at 8am, I think. I can't get a delivery with them but want all of my extra Nectar points! We're at £94 already, so should have a decent amount for Christmas.

I don't no fluffy, always take them off for anything mucky :)

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 25/04/2020 08:27

I love how yours are twisted fluffy!

pussycatinboots · 25/04/2020 08:32

Here's mine, they won't squeeze over my fat knuckles Blush.
The fake one is the platinum plated one.
The sapphire one I bought for my 30th.

fluffy I love yours. They're really unusual.
most and Wreck you have the style of engagement ring I wanted and I have severe tanzanite envy.

NoWordForFluffy · 25/04/2020 08:38

Most, I tried so many bloody wedding rings on before going back to the jeweller DH got the engagement ring from and asking to get the same ring without diamonds (and rose, not white, gold) as absolutely nothing else fitted with it!

I think I'd lose mine if I took them off, so mine do stay on. I'm amazed my engagement ring hasn't needed re-plating.

Boots, your fingers don't look fat though. 🤷‍♀️

NoWordForFluffy · 25/04/2020 08:39

Ah...I'm sad you didn't get your choice of ring, Boots.
