Not Driving Away!

[Pumble]

P1 splashing in the paddling pool and P2 having a nap. So pleased to be back and they are so pleased to be with each other again.

Can't believe we got to 1000 posts! You need to change your nn now too don't you wylye ?!

You need a flat oval rose, not a round one.

I worked in nurseries, lovely plant ones, not child ones, for years. A good rose is amazing - especially if you get into propagation - of plants -

Oh the scope for double entendres!

This is what I want for Christmas & am sending the link to DH!!

He's going to faint when he sees the price - but over 20 years it's a bargain!

Evening all!
I like all this watering can chat, v civilised! My Haws has a rubbish round rose that I've misplaced, I hadn't thought of trying an oval one. Geeeeenius.

Five good days Pumble, whoop whoop!

Feeling grim here, I look ridiculously pregnant but am only 9 weeks. Full of gas and water retention, eurgh! I could pass for 5 months gone, easily.
I've just been moping around and whingeing to DH, I know I didn't feel this bad last time! And every time I say that to anyone, they always, without fail, say "It's a girl then".

Evening. Loving the Haws can, just like the MIL's. Can we do a bulk deal?

Hang on in there longtailedtit,.

Sorry to hear about the bloat, LTT.

Just to cheer you I am waaaaay beyond the age of even a miracle baby & when I came home from my hols my neighbour (& good mate) asked if I was up the duff as French bread had upset me so much I looked 6 months gone. Try a couple of days of no bread.

Six good days

A bulk buy seems a great idea!!

I do so enjoy the 'its definitely a girl/boy' thing.... Sorry about bloating though- no bright ideas from me I'm afraid. The thing is that last time you weren't running after a small person all day either so bound to be that much harder.

Now you've sorted our watering cans magi any other necessities we should have for our gardening?

A decent pair of secateurs. And cut properly with them when pruning anything. For roses (& everything else ) a sloping cut just above & facing away from a bud. This means water will not constantly drip off the cut on to the bud & wreck it.

Felco are the rolls royce of secateurs. I have had mine for 20+ years. I keep them by my side more carefully than any PFB. They have been back for a service once (£15). They are amazing & I would have them before anything else in the garden, watering can included).

Six days is amazing - crossing fingers for a week.

I am going shopping for a new waterproof jacket today. Old one is now v old & no longer does its job. I hate shopping, so wish me luck.

Six days yey!

Waterproof jacket eh? I bought one last week to replace my faithful lightweight one (the heavier one was too hot for the school run). I felt brave so tried on bright pink and a lovely stranger turned round and said buy it, so I did! I love it. Do they do a bright pink watering can?

Have you had your wedding celebrations yet Magi?

Seven good days

How did the jacket hunt go magi any luck?

What a great thing for a stranger to say row too.

SEVEN GOOD DAYS!!!!!!

That's a whole week!!!!!!!

Yippee doo dah day!!!

Got jacket - sadly it's black (my unfavourite colour) but was in sale & fits well & it lightweight & breatheable & totally practical so all is OK.

Seven good days is FAB, I hope we're onto the eighth.

Glad everyone's got their waterproofs sorted, I bought a Didriksons coat after MN persuaded me last year, hoping it'll still fit me over the winter, I might need to make some kind of bump extension panel...

We're in holiday countdown here, off for a week on Friday, so making lists and figuring out what/who we can fit in the car. DH is off work already, so hopefully his body alarm will have slowed down by then - he was up at 6 this morning! V uncivilised.

Did you get an appointment with the Doc about ADs in the end Pumble? How do you feel about the idea?

How are things, Pumble & everyone?

Really misty here this morning, but blue sky & sunny above so am hoping it will clear to a nice day. I'm loving this warm spell - cheats a bit off winter.

Hi all

We are doing ok. Very much taking one day at a time (sometimes one hour) but getting through each day with some smiles. Pumblette 1 and 2 have started really making each other laugh which makes it all worth it.

I'm still shredding...gone back to the start with heavier weights and I AM going running this evening when pumblettes are in bed....it's been ages so I'm very very nervous but now I've told you I have to go!!

Not gone to the GP again yet although I'm definitely thinking about it.

It's a beautiful afternoon here - hope it is with you all too.

And 2.6 mile run complete . It was utterly wonderful. Coming back to a screaming pumblette2 less so!

Just wonderful, Pumble - love the idea of one day or one hour at a time.

Thrilled to hear you are back to running - you shame me!

Yet another lovely day here, hope it is with everyone else as well.

Glad you enjoyed the run Pumble.

I've been making the most of the weather too. I have cut down some decorative firs that have outgrown their welcome in the garden. The tallest was my height. Two were either side of a cherry tree and looked ridiculous. So, I now need to decide what to put either side of the cherry tree. I want something long flowering, that won't grow more than 1 metre. I'm thinking scented roses (though in my last garden I concluded I didn't suit roses too well, I don't think I prune well enough as they looked really straggly), or fuschia. Any ideas anyone?

The sun has shone today, how is everyone?

I am fine - but might kill DH if he snores again tonight! He woke me up with ZZZZZZZZ THREE times last night.

Morning! DH is still alive

Slept right through last night so am in a much better mood!

Phew, I'd been listening out for news on the radio of a man killed in his sleep mid snore.

Hey Pumble, how are you doing? Got some warm brownies to tempt you.

Waving at all of you - had more than a week of v.v.v bad internet connection - AND IT STILL ISN'T AS IT SHOULD BE!!!

I am ashamed of the rages I have had .............. I can not believe how isolated I feel with out the internet, despite having gone to the library to catch up a couple of times.

Survived the storm - awake for the majority of last night & trees & fences all down around us but walking along the sea front today was just amazing.

Look forward to hearing how you are all doing.

B U M P!!

Bumpety bump.

All ok here, No real news. Wish I could see the sea but enjoying the heart of England instead.

Come on girls. How are the rest of you doing?

Hey Pumble. How are you? Don't forget how well you've done. Any tough times can be beaten, you have the proof if that.
