Feeling positive about the future after DH died

[Chasingsquirrels]

Just starting off before we hit 1000 on the last thread...

It's been 3 years horse I'm such a bad daughter!

All going well so far.

Well it gets that out of the way Willow! Shame it's all gone to that point for you...dickhead LL

Hope you got lots done in the cooler temp book

Whoooohooo its all gone! I can see my floor and walk through my living room without the door banging back at me! Supposse I need to hoover now

Spent the whole day packing up my kitchen and washing out cupboards. Now got more boxes in c.u.s and several in the kitchen! Still have a couple of cupboards to do and the top of one and just remembered there is a big bowl on top of that one too. I really cant pack up any more as we use it! Am knackered.

Think a beer might be in order. Ds2 has been away on his bike to friends a few miles away so have been hanging on until he came home 'just in case i got a call'. Cheers

Ciao!! Now in Rome!!

cheers Willow

and 84

Day off today & out with my bestie We watched Mamma Mia 2, really enjoyed it, although I told her she should have warned me it was a tear jerker (she'd already seen it twice!), as my makeup was ruined!!

Have a fab time 84.
Well done Willow, hope you get somewhere with housing very soon x
Sounds a good day horsemad.
Have a lovely time with them MrsJ.
Cooler now book enjoy your produce.

Back home yesterday, uneventful journey and one very happy to see us Charlie. Didn't know who to launch himself at first (well he did, it was me!).
John's mum's funeral today.

Morning all
Chasing - safely home I see , hope you get through the day okay , will be thinking of you.
Willow - all that space! Huh to LL - just shows how uninterested he/they are in anything but him/themselves. Total self interest. Hope you hear from the housing soon - keep badgering !
MrsJ - I bet you had a lot to catch up on yesterday - emotional I suspect and that is tiring. Enjoy the visit
84 - ooh Rome - wonderful - hope those new sandals are comfy! :)
Horse - I loved Mamma Mia, so will have to see if I can catch this one . Nothing like coming out of the cinema with panda eyes
Yes, ended up busy yesterday. Lots of cooking /allotment /finishing off bits and pieces of craft stuff, ready to get on with crochet now its a bit cooler .
A reasonably easy day today - have to pack for tomorrow, sort all all my spare veg ( more baking and freezing ) and make sure I haven't forgotten anything !
Have a good day everyone

Squirrels thinking of you todsy.

Horse hmm might wait for the dvd! I am terrible for crying at soppy films.

Didnt sleep again but let myself have long lie. Not doing too much today before work. Ironing and maybe a bit of packing. Was planning to go to Edinburgh to see all the festival street acts with ds2 tomorrow but work may want me in. Fingers crossed they have got someone else.

Book you are right they havent once asked if i have somewhere to go and i see them every day.

Enjoy Rome 84.

Well LL have informed me that they are removing the trellis ourside my door at top of garden and replacing it with panelling as I suspected they were. They were going to wait till I left but are going to be doing it now. I will loose my gate and will have to use theirs. Well they can move all my heavy pots out the way cos I cant shift them! Hey ho...fingers crossed for a house soon.

OMG!
Just checked the homehunt website and it said "offer made" on a house! I phoned up to clarify if it was defininately for us and they said they had just done the letter and I would get it tomorrow! Only thing is I cant remember if its a 2 or 3 bed and you cant view the properties online once you have bid on them (useless website tbh)

Please let it be 3 I will go nuts if they have to share for much longer, I cant be doing with the arguing with ds1 over his damm pc keeping ds2 awake. I know that sounds terribly ungrateful but between my horrenous job and the moving business and ds1 I am at the end of my tether. You ladies dont know how much your 'company' and support means to me, apart from my aunt I have no one else.

Keep everything crossed ladies. Hopefully all will be ok and we can start a new chapter. Looking forward to and dreading the move in equal measure

oh wow Willow - fingers, toes , everything crossed for you ( including eyes )

[Grin] Book thanks, dont bump into anything

Oh my goodness, that is the best news Willow

Hope it's 3 beds!

Have had an amazing day. Did the Pantheon The Trevi Fountain and the Vatican and Sistine Chapel earlier. Now eating pizza and drinking Peroni and then going to find the Spanish Steps. Tomorrow is St Marks Basilica and The Colloseum and then the concert tomorrow night. Heat is a different kind of heat to home if that makes sense!

Oh fantastic Willow (was about to type I also had everything crossed as well then read your reply to book, lol, but I am hoping it's a 3 for you).

Sounds amazing 84!

Sorry Squirrel missed your post - literally Just sawWillow's earlier. I hope the funeral went as well as these things can. Bet y feel wrung out.

Sounds amazing 84

We've been very busy. Going to sit down with a slice of cake when all goes quiet. Road trip tomorrow till Sunday.

Catch up properly over the weekend x

Well , I am packed and ready . Do you have the clutch handbag which comes out for parties and weddings ? Just got mine out and opened it to find the lipstick I thought I had lost . :)
84 - thats sounds utterly amazing ( and incredibly tiring - how on earth did you get around that lot in one day!!! )
Willow - hope you can get some sleep tonight - bet its a bit like Christmas Eve , with lots of thinking and what ifs
MrsJ - off and enjoy your road trip
Chasing - hope you get some relaxation now - coming back off holiday I find tiring , and you had a funeral to go to as well - so take care of you .
Just sorting out a bit of crochet to do while I am down at the wedding , and then a sit down tonight with some mindless tv watching :)
Sleep well everyone

Just home. Picked up ds2 no cadets on but no.idea why so he went to.friends and i met them.oyt on thier bikes.

Work busy so am tired and fed up and p'd off at that self centred self important bitch i have to work.with 😠 a glass shatyered in my hand as i was puting it awsy so had a million pieces of glass to sweep up and all the glasses to take off shelf to get all the bits. Not what you need 15 minutes after closing time!

Have a good trip MrsJ
Thanks Squirrels hope today wasnt too awful.

Do you go tomorrow Book if so have a great time. I havent been to a wedding in years but i do have my 'going out bag'😀

Have a lovely time book

(((hug))) willow What time does your postie come round?

Usually here by 9, fingers crossed they are early as we are off out to Edinburgh!

Hope postie is early today Willow 😁 Exciting & nerve-wracking too, I imagine.

84, I am knackered just reading what you got up to yesterday! Hope you have another great day today.

Can imagine Charlie going bonkers when reunited with you all chasing, bless him!
Hope the funeral went well, are you back to work today or after the weekend?

MrsJ, road trips & cake 😀 my kind of thing! I hope your parents are enjoying their stay.

Have a great wedding weekend book, hope the weather is fine but cooler for you!

Work today for me but boss is away - hurrah!! I will be able to get on, without being interrupted every 5 minutes... 😉

Morning all.

Yeah its 3 bed😁😁 if Google maps is right its not got a garden at front just gravel less work i suppose so hoping back garden is ok. Might swing by before we leave. Crikey we wait weeks for news of application yet they want confirmation within 3 days😀 now for the fun of finding removal people. I did post a query on some website thats supposed to have local companies give you a quote but nobody replied at all! Wonder how long before they get back to me so we can go see it properly?
Need to do my looooonggg list of 'change of address' to. That will take hours😁 Think my brain just fried never had a whole house to.move before last time it was just me!

Horse have a good day at work i doubt boss will realise you get more done without them there but you never know.

Have a great day all.

just popped in to see if you had heard - wonderful news Willow :)
gravel front = pots !!!. Can you google earth the address - you may beable to see if there is room at the back that way .
Well, just need wait for DD and her partner to turn up and we will be off.
Hope the work goes quickly without the boss Horse !
Back on Sunday
have a great weekend everyone

Safe trip Book have a lovely weekend.

Fantastic news Willow New 🏡, hope the location is good and the house suits you all.

Have lovely weekends away book and MrsJ.

Enjoy non-boss Friday Horsemad.

And hope you have another great day in Rome 84.

Just cut back my lavender, not as harsh as last year, can get down the path without being attacked by it now. Just fancy a long soak in the bath but the taps buggered up in April and I haven't got them sorted yet - boys have been using my shower instead on the main bathroom. Another job on the list.
