Still supporting after DH died ( Juan et al)

[bookbook]

Realised I was the one nearest the end of the thread , thought I'd better get one up and running

previous thread HERE

(((hugs))) to both Squirrels and Lottie

((Hugs)) Squirrels and 84 hope Wilf is ok. I am dreading the day when ds2's gps go. Hoping they are long lifers.

-1 this morning although sun shining its very cold.
Need to move going to get new battery charger i put the new rechargeables in and its still flashing red and green after a whole day! That cant be right.

Fingers crossed the almond croissants are in😀
Hope you are all snow free still. I see its back with a vengeance in some places.

Morning all
trying to snow here, luckily more rain than snow.
Chasing (hugs) - its emotionally draining I suspect, trying to plug that space
Willow - fingers crossed on the croissant !
DH is at the physios today, but as I have a hair appointment, I am not going.
So I have put a load of washing in, going to strip the bed and clean the bedroom properly . Also need to finish off a border on a blanket so I can get it off in the post to WH .
Have a good day everyone

I'm just bumbling along today. Need to give the whole house a once over, but not really in the mood. Also need to do a big shop which I cannot be bothered with, but there'd be no tea or chocolate!

Enjoy the haircut book

Stay safe Willow - think you've had enough snow now!

Sun still shining. Washing to put out now. Missed courier for monitor apparently. Coming back tomorrow.
THEY HAD CROISSANTS 😄😄 lost myself in my book for half an hour (could have stayed a lot longer tbh)
Got the charger but forgot to get bread and milk what an eejit. But did get wine so not too bad😉
Aww mrsj sod the house do something just for you for a change.
Book glad dgs is doing ok. Enjoy the haircut.

Working from 3...booo.

Now about to go to one of my ladies. Wilf is off to Crufts on Saturday. He is very excited.
Lots of his doggy FB friends will be there and his honorary uncle will be having a stall there....

Well feel more "with it" today although not 100% still.
In a bit late as I had a 10.30 meeting locally, so my dad came over for an hour in the middle of the day for Charlie so I could finish later. Then picked the boys up from school as we all had the dentist - no teeth problems.

They are giving joggers a miss as both have coughs and are generally a bit under the weather, although they haven't had the severity of what I've had.

And no work tomorrow . Have got a WAY coffee meet, with a few people I've not met before and one I have.

Hope Wilf enjoys Crufts 84.

This new pc for ds1 has been an undertaking Willow!

Sun shining here now, although a rainy morning. Hope everyone has had a good day.

You sound a bit brighter chasing, glad the boys haven't suffered too much with it. There are so many horrible virus bugs doing the rounds, we have people off sick at work with it.

It's been full and rainy here and work was ok. It's always really busy but some days other factors come into play

Willow, I am going to have to try an almond croissant! Bet your DS can't wait for his monitor, hope all ok with this one.

Hello all, just spotted the thread so thought I'd pop in & say hi.

Sorry to hear you've not been well Chasing, hope you are feeling better

I'll need to read back through the last thread to catch up. Anyway, nice to 'see' you all.

I am horse thanks ☺ not 100% but getting there. The boys are just a bit under the weather, not ill. Just dropped ds1 at archery.
Good to hear work was okay today for you.

Hi Drama, nice to "see" you.

Another wet start then cleared out, apparently 20 miles down road there was quite thick snow. Greyed over about 4, light showers.

Good mooch (and ) locally whilst cleaner working her magic, then went further afield for better choice of exciting places like Asda and a larger Home Bargains. Gosh, I know how to live, the excitement was so much, I had to stop for another and a remarkably good Italian baguette (plus chips and salad - bargain at £4.50) - brought home half of baguette and enjoyed for tea (you can take a lass out of Yorkshire, but can't take the Yorkshire out of a lass, apropos of which, I do like Aldi's Yorkshire puddings with beef dripping!).

DS arrived before boxing training, dug out couple more bags to sort - one thrown straight out, other is ...... yet more model cars, trains, planes. Need to think about that.

Hope chasing and crew feeling nearly 100% and work went well, willow. That pc will be right yet.

Cheers to everyone.

Evening all. Work busy busy busy. Late finishing am knackered and eating left over curry😀

Glad you are feeling better Squirrels and hope boys shake it off quick.

Hope Wilf has a good time 84.

You have been busy Selena can you come clear out my house?

Horse only cafe nero almond croissants will do😀

Evening all
just put down the crochet, having a relax now while DH is playing with the TV remote .
hi Drama - hope you are okay.
everyone busy I see :) Selena - yet more to sort out . Lunch sounds a bargain !
I have bouffant hair , cannot wait to get in the shower in the morning . Got everything done I wanted to, and had a lovely afternoon , then DD2 came for tea as well, which was lovely . Looking forward to clean sheets on the bed tonight (bliss)
Night all

Hello all

Hope you've had a good night's sleep and a good morning so far.

I have got up and out and attended the delayed World Book Day assembly, come home and sorted some cleaning that didn't get done yesterday and sorted some paperwork so each pile is now filed....sounds more impressive than it is!

Meeting DH for a coffee in town - not really like going into London to see a show, but it will have to do for now.

LOL @book - they always do your hair funny don't they? Mine is utterly amazing and I feel like a princess/model when I walk out. Since having it cut last week, I've been making the effort to straighten it too...

Hello Drama, nice to see you.

Check in with you all later if I have a chance between tween tantrums (we're sorting her drawers after school) and the fact that I'm sort of out tonight with some of the school mums. They're starting an hour before and will carry on drinking, but I'm just going to eat and chat and leaving them to it.

Morning.
Been actually productive (ish) and feeling very virtuous this morning. Hovered /cleaned up iving room, done kitchen (even the floor!!!) Washing done, clean stuff sorted and now sitting down for cuppa. Need motovated to get up and Hoover stairs 😀

Mindee is ill so not coming today so will surprise kids with some jobs to do after haircuts..muhhhaha. like ds1 shaving the carpet off his face!

Sorry missed your post Drama. How are you?

Monitor here am dreading taking it out box.

Ds2 stressing over what he wants for birthday. (Apart from a lego set that costs way too much which he knows he isnt getting) looking at other lego but still swithering.

mrsj my filing cabinet is groaning under the pile on it...can you come sort it for me? Pretty please🤗
Enjoy your meet up, have the biggest bit of cake they have and all the trimmings on your hot choc.

Right self inflicted kick up the backside given, off i go, oh the excitement that is my life😀

mrsj i was just thinking need to go through ds2s clothes and see whats in the hand me downs for him. He just wont stop growing! Oh thats always fun...not

Feeling more with it this morning, took Charlie for a walk which wore me out.
Then went to a WAY coffee meet and just back.

Enjoy coffee with DH cake and your meal tonight.
Hope the monitor is A-ok Willow.

Got a leaving meal tonight, boys with their dad after judo so will just go for a couple of hours.

Feeling pretty low / lonely, hopefully just illness aftereffects and coming up to the year.

Oh squirrels, hugs from me. It's the not having someone to chat to, discuss stuff with, laugh with, moan at? My lovely builder is coming to do the patio on Monday and I've probably bored several by texting this riveting info but I want to share it!!!! And he's not there for us both to be excited. .

Well done Willow, and that monitor OK this time?, and Mrs J, and hope tantrums not too bad.
Hope hair great after shower book?
Work still busy, Horse?
Drama, how are things?

I've sorted the bag of models - most in the bin, sorry DH looking down and frowning no doubt, - some to store/probably chuck out later and some on display. That's my lot for today.

Hi, we had a nice enough time thanks. DD has cleaned but thrown pretty much nothing out! sigh

Sending you a hug Squirrels and Selena

Does the monitor work??????? Willow

Very stressed tonight. One of the girls who shares a house with Wilfred is posting all over the Internet that she's going to kill herself!!! People then tag Wilf in the post and his stress levels go through the roof. Staff then spend all their time with her and poor Wilf didn't get his full support time.

84 thats awful. Poor Wilf. (And poor girl if she actually feels that way) But he doesnt need that to cope with.

Well best laid pkans amd all😀 didnt do clothes with ds2 will do them tomorrow. Did housework and slobbed a bit before school run.
Haircuts done and we went to arcade and spent a few £1s then had ice creams above the beach.
Sun out and looked lovely for a while but very cold evening. Turned heating up i was frozen! Apparently 6° but felt like -6°😀

Not got monitor out box yet, couldnt face it😀
Hugs for all who need them today.

Evening all
MrsJ - a good day then , lots sorted, and a nice trip out too
84 - horrible when there is not a lot you can do , hope Wilf is coping
Selena - I am a big fan of giving stuff like that to charity shops - it always feels as if someone will love them
Chasing - you sound as if you have post viral tiredness on top of all your other problems , hope your weekend cheers you up a bit
Willow - I don't blame you for not wanting to take out the monitor, you got a lot of other stuff done
Horse - hope you are okay, the weekend is here :)
been a bit of a bleurgh day here. Originally planned to go out for the day , as we haven't done much other than the mundane recently. I zoomed around ( and yes, lovely shower, hair looks like me again ) prepped up tea, did a load of washing and hung it out. But DH sadly not up to it today, so have been mooching around feeling a bit fed up. Not his fault, these things happen . And its raining tomorrow , .
Did manage a fair amount of crafting instead, so that's something!
Night, sleep tight all

Morning you lot

book I hope DH is better today and that you get to do something. We're hoping to dodge the rain showers too.

Hope Wilf enjoys Crufts today 84 How are you holding up?

Selena are you spinning this morning?

Hoping Charlie gave you a lie in Squirrel sounds like you could do with it.

I have done 6 big squares for the Chernobyl so going to try a hat now!

It s the weekend, hurrah! Made even better by DS2's surprise trip home (wasn't coming until next week originally).

Awful rain last night and there was a bad accident on our way home so we had to detour down country lanes. Finally arrived home at midnight.

Damn stray cat wowing outside window again early hours, then bin men pitched up at 6am.
Not a great sleep!

Hope everyone has a nice day. Second coat on door here... Then just waiting for carpet

Morning all.
Chucking it down here. Did not want to go out😀
In town after swimming with ds2 to get my mother's day card and maybe a pressie! Ds1 declined to come, no big surprise.

I am dreading work tomorrow it could be even busier!!

Getting new shower fitted today yeah😀 old one on laat legs.

Hope dh is better today Book and you get to do what you want to.

Horse what a lovely surprise enjoy the weekend.
