Morning all. It's windy and cloudy and not terribly nice, which is a bugger because DH has the day off and wanted to go out for the day and do things <nlt> Still, there's always tennis on TV Grin

KillerKitty has been busy overnight - two mice and something larger, and something feathery Sad Much floor washing has been done.

Wicked - of course you're knackered - you just moved house! You should recover by relaxing with an HBF and enjoying your new view.

Hope everyone has a good day.

FancyFancy · 07/07/2022 13:39

Afternoon, blood test results back tomorrow, so keeping everything (usual wench disclaimer) crossed.

How does Misty like the caravan?

How are you settling in ww? And what about Frasan?

Has DH moved from the telly yet helen Grin? Mind you, the news has been rather compelling this morning.

<dances a little jig>
<crosses fingers the replacement isn't worse>
<reminds self that it's unlikely there's anyone worse out there>

ApricotCrush · 07/07/2022 14:54

Afternoon wenches from glorious Wales. Wall to wall blue sky and a nice breeze which makes it bearable.

Misty was very good on the way here. She cried for a few miles but soon settled and only complained when we went round sharp corners and over bumps. However, she wouldn’t sleep last night, knocked my glass of water over, tried to climb up the curtains and kept meowing at us. She’s now asleep on a rucksack! Grin

DD has got Covid. First time she’s had it which is amazing given where she works. Poor thing says she hasn’t felt so ill for decades. Sad

Hope you’re coping without your colleagues LetUs, it seems to be everywhere. The dental hygienist said she had four cancellations yesterday and the dentist had had six.

Good luck with the blood test results Fancy.

Hope you managed to get out Helen.

Put your feet up WW, you deserve it.

Evening wenches.

It all feels very much held together with gaffer tape and string at work at the moment.

Your poor DD Apricot Sad BigSis has only managed to unpack a few boxes and is exhausted. Well done on the journey Misty and hopefully settling in.

I shall cross everything without exception for good news Fancy, because it’s that important.

Hope your weather picked up Helen, ours is still cloudy and quite windy.

I let out a loud whoop at work this morning when the news came through Grin

Get your feet up Wicked and have a large one. Have a drink too Wink <badoomtish>

FancyFancy · 07/07/2022 21:48

Aw thanks wenches - I will pass your best wishes on to ScaredyCat. When she comes in from next door's garden where she is sitting on a fence waiting for something to go near her so she can kill it Hmm

Did you do things helen?

Misty sounds awesome Grin Are you sure you're in Wales though apricot - sunshine?

I hope ww is taking letus's advice and enjoying a large one <coughs>

DD made a flying visit this evening, we have had fish & chips, Ukranian beer and trashy tv - a very pleasant way to spend an evening.

FancyFancy · 07/07/2022 21:49

*Ukrainian <eyerolls at own spelling>

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 07/07/2022 22:21

Evening all. Hurrah for today's good news!

We did do things - beach walk and pub lunch. Plus later on the sun came out and the wind dropped, so we could have BBQ'd, except the weather was so miserable earlier that we ditched the plan.

Sad for ApricotDD. Hopefully she'll feel better soon. Glad that Wales is lovely and sunny, and hopefully Misty will sleep better tonight.

Hope that the gaffer tape holds LetUs - it's very shit when work's that bad Sad The HBFs say that they'll help hold you together.

Grin at ScaredyCat waiting for sometime to come close enough to be killed Fancy Sounds like a lovely flying visit from FancyDD too.

I'm going to tidy the kitchen then head for bed... night all.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 08/07/2022 07:36

Morning all. Hot and sunny outside. KillerKitty is being a pest but hasn't brought anything in (yet)

Hurrah for Fridays, etc. Everything crossed today for ScaredyCat
<ties self in gordian knot>
<waits for HBFs to do untangling>

LetUsPrey · 08/07/2022 07:37

Morning wenches. Still cloudy and dull and no warmer weather.

Surprise FancyDD visit, fish and chips, beer and trashy tv sounds an extra lovely way to spend an evening.

As does beach walk and pub lunch.

Hope the Welsh weather continues to be favourable and wenches have great days. Am giving myself a talking to <nae> and trying to gee myself up because it’s Friday.

LetUsPrey · 08/07/2022 20:34

Evening wenches.

Had to stay late at work which wasn’t ideal when feeling tired on a Friday.

Not feeling any warmer here but I’ve no doubt I’ll be complaining it’s too hot fairly soon.

Hope wenches are well and ScaredyCat is okay.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 08/07/2022 21:05

Oh FML, yet another post that didn't post.

All I said was that work could do one and the new finance system, continues to cause chaos and despair. I think I also summoned emergency HBFs for distraction and relaxation purposes.

Hope that Welsh weather is lovely and Wicked is relaxing and all is well chez Fancy

<decorates>
Is it too hot now *LetUs? Wink

FancyFancy · 08/07/2022 21:54

Well it's been warm here all day and now the thermometer seems to have broken 😂

Whatever is wrong with ScaredyCat, it wasn't what they were testing for, so we're no further forward really. Will ponder the next step over the weekend.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 09/07/2022 08:35

Morning wenches.

It is hot and sunny. I have been up and had breakfast and fed the livestock and been out to set up a car boot and I'm home again ang it wasn't even 8am at that point. Living the life.
Washing's on now. I think I might go back to bed.

LetUsPrey · 09/07/2022 09:18

Morning wenches.

Back to bed if you’re not already there Helen is a good idea.

It’s windy here which is good for washing, not for temperatures, although weirdly it’s rather hot Grin

<cuddle> for ScaredyCat.

Today is shopping, housework, homework reminding, parents coming for tea. And of course women’s tennis final.

FancyFancy · 09/07/2022 15:34

Forgot the plumber was due this morning so was still in my dressing gown when he arrived 😪😳

FancyFancy · 09/07/2022 15:38

FFS, don't know what that first emoji is there for - tried to delete it and posted the comment instead. Anyhoo, wireless controller now installed and valve mixed so I can run hot water off the boiler and not the immersion now.

ScaredyCat is back at the vets - further sedation and an ultrasound. Seems like constipation has been an issue although the vet couldn't tell if there was any particular reason underlying why she was constipated. With any luck this will just turn out to be a phenomenally expensive poo.

FancyFancy · 09/07/2022 15:40

*valve fixed. JFC my typing.

Although autocucumber tried to change JFC to KFC. Really? Tell me phone, which of those do I use more often?

ApricotCrush · 09/07/2022 17:06

Afternoon. Still glorious weather here. Smile. Misty is fine and spending a lot of her time asleep on the rucksack although she has our bed, her bed and sofas to use. Strange cat.

We went on our usual jaunt to Poundland, although I think they’re going to have to change the name to Twopoundland soon. Hmm I bought some knitting wool which I have absolutely no need of because I liked the colour and it was sparkly. 🙄 No idea what I’ll use it for.

Do hope ScaredyCat is alright. Sad

Have a lovely evening all. Wine

Evening wenches.

So many things crossed for as you say Fancy a phenomenally expensive cat poo. Hurrah for boiler being fixed. Grin at slightly prim autocucumber.

I know which yarn you mean Apricot because a couple of fellow knitters at work have bought it. I was eyeing it up too.

Parents have been for tea which was delicious and I’m now absolutely stuffed.

I’m watching the tennis - men’s doubles final. One of them just nearly got his head taken off by a forehand return. Watched most of the women’s singles final earlier. Ideally wanted the other player to win but I’m not unhappy about it.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 09/07/2022 21:24

Evening all. Didn't go back to bed. Did gardening things, picked up new glasses which turn out to need some adjustment, did more gardening stuff. I ache, and I need a bath. And I haven't seen any tennis. Ho hum...

<arf> at the idiot autocucumber and potential phenomenally expensive poo Fancy - hopefully that's all it is.

I love the idea of sparkly colourful wool, though the sparkly bit sounds a bit scratchy and uncomfortable. But still, shiny things!!!

Glad that you're having a good time at the caravan Apricot

LetUsPrey · 10/07/2022 08:16

Morning wenches.

<directs Helen to therapy part of Tav for deep tissue massage <tae and nae>>

Sunshine here and it appears not to be windy. Shall try to get all jobs done early and hope to sit outside with a jigsaw this afternoon.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 10/07/2022 10:17

Morning all. Also sunny and not windy here. Plans involve... um, horsing, gardening, being massively irritated by DS, a bit of shopping. Joy.

FancyFancy · 10/07/2022 17:27

Afternoon, vet warm here. Have grocery shopped and had tea with a neighbour. ScaredyCat is still a bit quiet, hopefully that's mostly the after effects of the sedation, she is eating better today.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 10/07/2022 18:16

Evening.

Hope Scaredycat gets better soon, glad she's eating better today.

Glad Misty is enjoying the caravan.

Fräsan is doing fine, she acts like she owns the place Grin

Had a delayed birthday party today, mum, sis and my niece came over. Best of all, there's leftover cake!

LetUsPrey · 10/07/2022 20:55

Evening wenches.

IT’S TOO HOT! GrinGrin

Chores were done, baking was done, jigsaw was started. To keep a Tav theme going, it’s got cats all over it!

I do love an ongoing birthday celebration Wicked.
