Lovely to hear abut the grandchildren's visit Oma, but sad about little GD being upset to leave.

[Clover]

Afternoon all.

Oma lovely for you to have the 3 together but it must have broken your heart to leave the little one sobbing.

Plant hope you find the perfect present. I don’t have much experience of John Lewis as we don’t have one locally. There is one where my DD lives but whenever I go in there without DD I get completely lost. It has about three entrances and two floors with several little offshoots like separate shops so I get totally confused.

[Daisy]

Oma, I feel sad for your GD. She obviously loves you and Grandad and enjoys spending time with you. Let’s hope things change for all your sakes. Xx The new kitten has already worked out who’s a soft touch! LOL

Plant, no OH won’t be cross about the compost bin. He’s been saying for ages that he needs to make a new one for it! I hope you enjoyed your day in JL. There’s so much to see. It’s one of the few shops I enjoy browsing in.

Mimi I hope kitty has recovered from her trip to the vets.

GD2’s teacher visited this morning along with a TA. I kept Cooper in the garden out of the way, but the teacher clearly loved dogs and was happy to have a cuddle! I don’t think the TA was quite so keen when 30-odd kg of excited Viszla introduced himself! The comment about GD2 was “she’s very confident”! I remember the playgroup leader saying that about her Dad many years ago! 🤨

This afternoon we’ve been playing hide and seek. There aren’t many places in the average hous where a not-very-bendy grandma and a bouncy puppy can hide! I got foun£ in double quick time every time!,

Off to pick up GD1 soon then a quick dash home and off to dog training!

I found what my Dil wanted in JL it was an hanging washbag. Had a tea and a scone with GD and I bought a lime green cashmere cardigan. I was looking for something to wear to my birthday lunch in October and would come in for Christmas as well, plenty of time yet. I said to my GD that after all my years I still don't really have a style, my wardrobe seems to be a bit of a mish mash. When I buy something like a jumper (that is my weakness) I ought to buy something to make it an outfit but I just think I must have something in the wardrobe to go with it. My Dil mainly wears black but my daughter wears colourful clothes, I love her style.

Evening ladies of GRU, well yesterday was definitely my last baby minding day, they went to school today first time a full day , they face timed me after school I asked what was the best and what was the worst of their day, M said she doesn’t like jelly , and J said the worst was when he couldn’t find M my heart was bursting, it’s funny you don’t think but it’s the first tim they have chosen their own meal it’s always been you can have this or this, or they eat what’s given but it’s a canteen arrangement I bet they were mystified as what to have , they go again on Thursday and then a full week next week and I have a Tuesday pick up , I havnt picked a child up from school for 35 years hope there will be other grandmas there to chat to havnt much in common with yummy mummys

Gem busy day with admin !!!!

[Enfys]

Hope it goes well for OH tomorrow, Qwerty.

An eventful day here! We popped out to do some shopping this morning, when we got home I saw I had a missed call from SIL, then I had a text from DD to say she had come home from work and were waiting for an ambulance formSIL! He has been suffering with a bad back for a few days, went to our doc who prescribed pain killers for muscle spasms. To cut a long story short, themhospital were concerned that there was a problem with the nerves in his spine, he was in a lot of pain and had numbness too. Eventually however they concluded that in fact he had a compacted disc, something he has had before. Relief all round as they were muttering about paralysis. He’ll be off work for a bit and has to rest but then build up the surrounding muscles, but relieved it isn’t anything worse. Phew!!

[Oma]

Enfys the poor man must be in agony , it will take some time before he can move without pain I bet , x
Qwerty I would have wanted to cry today when you realise they are finally at school and don't need you so much , it's a sad and happy feeling 😟 Hope tomorrow's appointment goes well for J xxx
Plant the jumper sounds lovely and pair it with Black trousers it will look very smart ,
Daisy hope you enjoy your few days away safe journey x

[Nanto2girls]

Good morning,and the sun is shining.

Qwerty, going to be strange for you,not having the little ones as much.

Oma,can't imagine how you must have felt,leaving GD sobbing like she was.

Daisy,enjoy your holiday,hope the weather is kind to you.

Must do the ironing today,forgot about it yesterday.

[Gemini]

Good morning ladies

Your cardigan sounds very nice Plant.
Aww, it must have been an emotional day, your little ones starting school at last Qwerty. Never fear, there are at least 12 weeks a year of school holidays, and I bet you will be looking after them for a lot of those
Nan2, I don't blame you forgetting about the ironing!
Poor SIL Enfys. A relief that it is not more serious though. Families!
It sounds as though your GD's home visit went well Daisy.

Today we are taking my auntie out for lunch. I say we are taking her, we almost have to wrestle with her for us to be allowed to pay when it is our turn! She would pay every time if we let her

Have a good day everyone, and happy caravaning Daisy!

[Daisy]

Just a very quick hello and 'bye for now' from me! OH wanted to leave at 9.30, I thought 10.30 was more reasonable, so 11 o'clock isn't really late, is it!!

I can't remember if this camp site has wi fi or not, but I'll look in when I can.

In the meantime, be good, ladies!!! xxx

[Oma]

Morning ladies , been shopping same old boring stuff .
Gem B's Mam is the same so we just go and pay before she realises . hope you have a lovely day with her , how did S do at golf ? did she have a good game
Enfys I have ironing today too only a small pile though so should be done in about 20 minutes , one job I hate so I never pile it up
Daisy enjoy and relax

Must pop out for a sympathy card , my next door neighbours Father died yesterday , I only remembered card because the Funeral director just turned up or I could have bought it when I was shopping but it totally slipped my mind .

[Gemini]

Oma, I slip off and pay without auntie seeing as much as I can, but she has started watching us like a hawk for signs of purses!

OH has won at golf twice in a week! Another £50 in her bar/shop account, and cup to collect on award night 😊

Have a great time Daisy. Don't worry about us , just tell us all about it when you get back!

[Nanto2girls]

Enfys,hope SIL makes a speedy recovery.
Gem, the ironing is done, didn't want to forget about it again.

Been out and cut the grass,so just been in the shower.
Friends are visiting this afternoon.So it will be tea/coffee/cake and biscuits.

[Qwerty]

Afternoon one and all, here a bit earlier it’s been the strangest day, because g/c came Monday I was able to tidy up Tuesday and today I have for the first time watched This Morning and Loose Women since about 2011 not that I shall make a habit of it as I don’t want t to appear sad 😀 OH has gone to therapy, managed a chinwag with my neighbour over coffee ,got some ironing done and and a few other chores and am cooking a ham in the oven smells divine . I have started taking folic acid again and am feeling tip top well nearly !
OH is taking his car in for service so might take him shopping tomorrow 🤔whilst he’s waiting it’s a shopping mall just round the corner
Daisy hope you enjoy the break and you get those batteries recharged
Nanto and Gem enjoy the company whether it be lunch or tea and cake it’s good to have company
Well done to S on the golf 🏆🏅
Sorry to hear about your neighbours dad , it’s sad when a parent dies 😢
Enfys sorry to hear about sil bad back that and toothache are the worst hope he gets sorted not that he has toothache but that’s the worst pains for me

[Mimi]

Good afternoon all.
I was inspired by the knitting thread that was started a few days ago so while I was in town this morning I brought some chunky wool from one of the stall holders at the outdoor market. I am planning to make a scarf/wrap/cowl. I will update on the knitting thread ...well when I eventually start it still very busy in the garden at the moment. Yesterday I potted on 72 autumn/spring plants that arrived by post . They are a mixture of wallflowers, pansies and primroses.
While we were in town we popped to M and S for a coffee, my word you have to fight for a seat in the cafeteria, little old ladies can be very ferocious when challenged. We were lucky to come out alive . Never again said OH , we’ll take our chances with the younger people in the modern cafe shops !


Daisy have a lovely time at the camp site ....that’s if you can see us that is...

Enfys hope SIL’s back gets better soon.

What is all this talk about the hot flat hissy thing ? I did mention last week I had some to do but I talked myself out of it but I must tackle it tomorrow...perhaps...

Have a nice afternoon ladies
