Thanks fluffy. I love spring, mainly because it means summer and I really love summer.

TheWoollybacksWife · 20/03/2022 18:22

Checking in. Mainly because I don't want to lose you all as there is nothing much Christmassy happening here yet although I am planning my WH Christmas sale stuff. Will be a bit mad knitting gnomes and Christmas puddings in the bright sunshine.

No Bruce from me but I've left a couple of Queen pictures to finish the last thread ( not The Queen , Queen Xmas Grin )

I haven't seen Fargo , I see myself as a Sweeny Todd and the PieShop mincing up Mystery Meats . !

Today the MaleCat was bombing round the garden, wagging his tail and climbing trees . (I know Cat Tail Wagging isn't a good sign Xmas Grin , not like a dog ) He was full of the joys of Spring and decided that some shadows needed chased .

The only downsides of Summer are flies/wasps and people not wearing enough clothes in public and showing ff expanses of skin < my

Checking in after a hectic day here. Went shopping then to FILs for lunch, then called in to emergency babysitting duty for niece and nephews (long story but essentially they were with their Nan along with their cousin who fell off his bike so we got drafted in so Nan could take the cousin to be checked out - he's got a sprained wrist).
Got home at 6 and have been sorting house / lunch for tomorrow / walking dog etc.

Im exhausted!

I've tried to finish the last thread but mn is being a bit of a PITA now and keeps freezing so will try again later.
Loved the pics posted though, although as always, the Die Hard one just makes me think of Yippee Kayak Other Buckets from Brooklyn Nine Nine 😂

Fluffy I've seen Fargo the series but not the film.

70 I have a very long list of things I don't like about the summer! All bugs (except bread), seeing horrible half dressed bodies, people having BBQs in the day and ruining my washing, late night parties in gardens, more people taking their dogs where I take mine, having to see peoples awful feet, being hot, red and sweaty doing normal everyday things, sunburn, hay fever, migraines.... I can go on and on Blush

I have been at work all day and I am tired. I have the boy sprawled across my lap so I can tickle his back. #DreamComeTrue Grin

Morning!

I'm getting go up to go on my new, swish, cross trainer soon. It's very fancy.

Our forecast this week is like yours, Wreck, not quite as warm though. Really makes a difference to mood, doesn't it?

I definitely feel like I've had a workout! I just need to work out how all the programmes on it work next. And it's so quiet...the cheaper ones all clank about. This is plugged into the mains, so is almost-silent!

I had to scrape my car this morning 🥶 warming up now though. There was a lamb on the loose too, he was prancing across the road.

Today has been cold! Nowhere near the temps forecast and also cloudy. Hopefully it's a blip! We've had to have the heating on more than most of the last week today.

pussycatunpickingcrossesagain · 21/03/2022 19:36

We have no heating or hot water...I can confirm it's a bit cold. The windows and door have been open all day while the plumber has being doing his thing, so I think it's warmer outside.
DH is sitting on the sofa with 2 blankets over his knees, 2 fleeces, a woolly hat and pair of gloves.🥶🥶🥶🥶

NoWordForFluffy · 21/03/2022 19:39

Today was not the day for a new boiler! 🥶🥶🥶

pussycatunpickingcrossesagain · 21/03/2022 19:43

Well, yes, I know that now 🤦‍♀️ hopefully tomorrow evening I'll be 🥵

WreckTangled · 21/03/2022 19:47

I think our heating came on slightly this morning but it was -1°. It's been warm and sunny all day though.

Ds has got a sore throat and cough 😬 lft negative. He's got really rosy cheeks too.

NoWordForFluffy · 21/03/2022 21:01

Our living room kept dropping to 16° today, which isn't the warmest! It's set to be sunny tomorrow though, which makes all the difference.

Hopefully 'just' random germs, Wreck.

Morning!

It's meant to be nice today. Hopefully your house warms up, Puss!

Time to get up and go on the cross trainer now. Wooo!

OP posts:
pussycatunpickingcrossesagain · 22/03/2022 07:00

Bedrooms are just on the cusp of 14, living room 15.
We went to bed early and put the electric blanket on. Grin
DH still wearing his hat and gloves.
Bin men have just arrived...they're 10mins earlier than 2 wks ago.

NoWordForFluffy · 22/03/2022 08:00

The sun is out, Puss, hopefully you warm up quickly!

I did a programme on the cross trainer. It almost killed me and I chose the one which looked easiest. I've decided I'll do 20 minutes on manual, and then finish with a programme, as I found it tough going once I'd done that! 🙈🤣

pussycatunpickingcrossesagain · 22/03/2022 16:48

The heating is on, flippin' 'ek it's 'ot!!!

NoWordForFluffy · 22/03/2022 17:05

Totally tropical?!

Evening, I have returned 😁

How's everyone been?

Between starting back at work, getting the allotment in some sort of order before I'm back in the office, and trying to sort out our extension (only for the s*dding builder to cancel on me 4 weeks before we were due to start 🙄) I haven't even thought about Christmas!

nerosnewfiddle · 22/03/2022 20:23

Found you all again.

I'm catching up on Euphoria. I feel about a 100 watching it. 🤦🏽‍♀️

pussycatunpickingcrossesagain · 22/03/2022 20:25

fluffy the thermostat is set at 27 🥵 it needs to run to clean the crap out of the radiators.
I'm being poached alive!

NoWordForFluffy · 22/03/2022 20:44

I've never heard of Euphoria, Neros. #gimmer

Firefly, what sort of condition is the allotment in? Life sounds rather hectic for you!

OP posts:
NoWordForFluffy · 22/03/2022 20:45

Holy crap! Send the fire service. How will you sleep? I'd die! Bet your DH is barely warm enough still!

WreckTangled · 22/03/2022 20:46

I loved euphoria. Can't wait for the next series.
