We are looking to complete on the 6th now

Later than I would have liked but I am just glad we finally got a date!

pussycatinboots · 29/07/2020 18:03

MOT was £52.

Crazy So sorry about DDog.

why have you eaten a bendy yellow bastard since then, or do you avoid them now?

MarshmallowManiac · 29/07/2020 18:15

Glad your Zoom meeting went well Crazy they sound like a lovely bunch. So sorry to hear about DDog Sad Enjoy the Lakes, we went there a few years ago and had a lovely time (much rain unfortunately), hope you are luckier with the weather. Smile

I love when I see the sunflowers growing Mrs glad to hear yours are blooming. That's terrible news about the NT jobs Sad Glad to hear your workmen are on their way.

Great haul Fluffy, there's something about Sunflowers that gladden the heart isn't there.

Good luck for the 6th Hairspray

Trying to pack a few bits for the week as off to Cornwall on Saturday for a few days, can't wait! Grin

pussycatinboots · 29/07/2020 18:34

I'm watching Liverpool giving AC Milan a damn good thrashing on ITV4 we've equalised, and I know how it ends Grin

Mrs I thought a lot of the staff were volunteers.

Marshmallow enjoy Cornwall - scones, yum!

pussycatinboots · 29/07/2020 18:37

Hairspray will junior stay put until then, do you think? Shock

NerosFiddle · 29/07/2020 19:08

Evening all.

Gingerbread men turned out well. Although I'll be finding hundreds and thousands for weeks.

We have actual MOT centres here, you don't go to a garage. They've been suspended until October though.

NerosFiddle · 29/07/2020 19:09

Boots have you ever read the thread on Twitter about Juergen Klopp?

MarshmallowManiac · 29/07/2020 19:18

Thanks Boots am looking forward to scones, cornish pasties and an odd ice cream every day Wink

Nice here today , I'm going to drop DH at work then do some tidying and washing .
Couple of other things to sort out them tomorrow ...........I'm off for a l-o-n-g drive ( to DParents)

I am not a gardener but I planted some nastursiams and they're getting leaves ( bit late in the year but I think they'll do well)
Need to make sure they're fed and watered .

OrangeCinnamon1 · 30/07/2020 07:07

Gorgeous day all! Back to the office for first time in months .

NoWordForFluffy · 30/07/2020 07:26

Morning!

It rained overnight, but is meant to be dry now, I think. I do like nice organised weather like that.

Back to work today after my time off. Booo! At least it's still from home.

Boots I have avoided yellow bastards since my poisoning yes. Just the thought of eating one makes me feel queasy.

NerosFiddle · 30/07/2020 08:16

Morning all.

It was raining overnight here too.

I've been awake since 5 and now I have a banging headache. Would anyone like to looking after 2 dc so I could sleep for a week? ...anyone?

WreckTangled · 30/07/2020 08:31

Morning! I've just woken up. I did over 16000 steps yesterday which is loads for me, ds did over 20000. We had a really lovely day but didn't get home until 9:30. Lazy day today and it's already hot.

pussycatinboots · 30/07/2020 09:45

Neros No, not seen that. You could post the kids to me, but I have zero experience of looking after kids so they will either be spoilt rotten or kill me Grin

why interestingly, since your revelation I have also avoided them 🍌

70 Nice day for a drive - windows down, sunnys on bit of 80s music played slightly too loud 😎🚗

Very humid outside - DH cut his walk short as he was struggling a bit.🥵🥵
Charlie currently climbing a curtain...😹🤬 off to rescue it (the curtain, not the cat)

MarshmallowManiac · 30/07/2020 10:21

Morning everyone.
Beautiful and sunny here, productive day so far, have been to Lidl, and washed (and ironed) some clothes for holiday, so having a little rest and a fruit tea with you all for now. Grin

Hope your drive goes well 70, enjoy your day with your parents Smile

Enjoy your first day back Orange and Fluffy

Hope you start to feel better really soon Neros, would love to but along with my 3 I think it would blast me into oblivion!! Grin

Why love bananas eat them every day Smile

Wreck glad you had a lovely day, really working those steps girl Shock I prescribe a nice easy day in the garden with large cocktail in hand Grin

CrazyBaubles · 30/07/2020 11:28

Morning (just)! It seems we left the nice weather behind as dm has told me it's lovely there but it's been a grey drizzly morning here (at the lakes). Should brighten up this afternoon though.

Are your feet hurting Wreck? Definitely rest up today!

WreckTangled · 30/07/2020 11:49

Crazy amazingly not. Even my hips are barely hurting so I'm guessing the Pilates I've been doing has done some good. I'm still not dressed! Have been doing the washing etc though must have a shower..

NerosFiddle · 30/07/2020 12:44

Boots you should read it. I do ❤️ Jurgen Klopp. Go on Twitter and search Laura Lexx. I tried to do a link but it kept bringing up my twitter account.

I'm going to try and sit down with a cuppa tea for an hour. I'll put a film on for dc.

pussycatinboots · 30/07/2020 13:08

Wreck not dressed at 11.49?!?! Shock I've given up on clothes and stuck with PJs when on my period, it's just easier tbh. I might manage leggings and a ver baggy t shirt - I let the girls have a bit of freedom iyswim Blush and I always think I deserve a medal if I've put socks on
Marshmallow have you packed, unpacked and packed again yet? Grin
Crazy How is life in the Camper van? How is DDog, enjoying a change of walk/air/scenery?
Nero will have a butchers I don't normally like men with facial hair, but I can make one exception ShockGrin Are you sure you don't want to send the kids over? They'll...probably... be ok...ish

pussycatinboots · 30/07/2020 13:11

KLIPP 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

pussycatinboots · 30/07/2020 13:14

Nero DH has never looked at me like Jurgen is looking at that trophy...I have trophy (wife) envy 🤣🤦‍♀️

I just rustled up a fruitcake (for DParents ) . You know when you make one for no particular reason, it turns out brilliant .
But when its for a special do ( birthday or Christmas ) fate conspires ?

I used the rest of the Amarretto on the sultanas and Stork ( lighter than butter) . It looks quite nice Xmas Grin, not all the fruit has sunk to the bottom ! I used one of those liners , so nothing stuck . Win Xmas Grin
