Thanks so much for the best wishes ladies I have just got up after a really bad night every time I moved I woke up,I have tried to get through to my Drs just now for a telephone consultation but I have to ring at 8am in the morning to try and get one for tomorrow.

Plant I have always suffered with back problems but never as bad as this my youngest son came last night and said it sounds very much like fibromyalgia and will need to tell the Dr the symtom's to be honest having the discomfort of that broken shoulder/arm does not help matters.Every joint in my body is painful to-day I dispair.

Oma I will take your advice and walk slowly around my back garden it is quite mild here today and the fresh air will give me a boost.

Daisy I am fine for shopping etc my freezers are full plenty in the fridge for snacks etc lots of fruit as youngest son brought me a box of fruit yesterday and some flowers in case he has to work on Mothers Day and can't get here,he is a good boy.

Will talk again soon girls xx

We spent some of the power cut time going to Aldi. By the time we came home, put the fire on low in the living room to warm and put the shopping away there was knock at the door.I t was the electricity man saying hopefully we woudl be back on sooner rather than later! It was actually just over two hours it was off, so a good job by them.

GS1's new school is in town (in the street I used to live in!) No free parking there so I intend to park at Sainsbury's, about 5 minutes walk. You get one hour free parking there so that seems the best option rather than risk a ticket parking closer!

Glamma, I often suspect I have fibromyalgia for the same reason.
I do hope you feel better soon xxx

Afternoon all.
We are slowly getting back to normal. Its taken BT well over two weeks to get our broadband up and running.
First of all we were told Openreach would be with us , then we were told that no Openreach wouldn't need to come to us all that was needed was for BT to send us a new hub and filter which would be posted to us but unfortunately that went to the wrong address so another hub and filter was posted to us which arrived today and upon opening the parcel we discovered that the hub is exactly the same one as our old one . Honestly you couldn't make it up . We could have had broadband up and running over a week ago !

I am now £62 lighter after my dentist appointment this morning. I had to have an xray to check that the broken tooth hadn't infected my gums which thankfully it hadn't. She put a 'seal' on where the broken tooth was as all that's left there is the root.
I have to go back at the end of the month for 3 fillings but because of covid its an hour appointment with the dentist wearing full PPE

Glamm, so sorry to hear that you are unwell and in pain. Get well soon x


I noticed that a few of our ladies aren't getting much sleep, I have to say that since we moved I have slept much better than usual ....... now I know I am going to regret saying that!

Keep safe everyone

[Gemini]

More sleep is a big bonus to moving house Mimi

[Mimi]

Good morning all.
Me and my big mouth, what did I say about getting a good night's sleep? Well it was nice while it lasted.
It's a dull wet day here and according to the weather forecast it's supposed to be wet and windy for the next couple of days.
We have a man coming by today to give us a quote for taking up three large shrubs that are blocking the view from the bedroom and sitting room windows and taking away general garden rubbish from the back garden.
DS won't be pleased as he said he would do any jobs that we can't do but we don't want to put on him. He has already done a lot here for us and he has said he would put the small tv and sky box on the wall in the bedroom as well as measuring and putting up blinds in the windows.
I know what it's like to work full time as well as do jobs for parents, been there, done that and it becomes hard work.

Glamm how are you feeling today

How are all our ladies today.

[Nanto2girls]

Good morning Mimi and all who follow.

Wet and windy this morning.

I know what its like when you can't sleep Mimi.
Somewhere i've got an article in a magazine,about it being a woman thing,haven't read it yet and can't remember just where i saw it.

Well onwards and upwards,will catch up later.

[Oma]

Morning ladies ,
Yes the no sleep thing isn't great is it ,

I was chatting on What's App with my Niece at 3.30 this morning she doesn't sleep well either

Dog day for us and its wet and grey so I don't think he will be in the garden much ,
I will pop back later xxx

[Gemini]

Good morning one and all.

I wish I could grant us all good sleep! I am luckier than many of you but do suffer and spend much of the night reading at times.

Flipping wet and windy here, much like Nan2's picture! It was buffeting about so much last night I felt as though we were in Peppa Pig's house up on the hill!!
Not a day for gardening or going out if you don't have to. All we have planned is the vet at 5.15 for our cats check up.

Take care everyone.

[Daisy]

Good morning from me as well. It's also wet and windy here, and it's also Cooper day for us. Eight muddy paws pattering in and out - so glad I wasn't even remotely tempted to wash the kitchen floor yesterday!

Sending love to everyone - I need to get going, but I'll pop back later. xx

[Plantaholic]

Wet here but no wind yet. GS2 moving his furniture in today, not the best weather for moving. DD's day for looking after GGD, GGS will be at school, she will fetch him later. No plans today, house is clean, can't get in the garden. I am sure I will find something to keep me busy.

Daisy, perhaps the dogs will not want to go out to play today.

Sorry to hear you didn't have a good nights sleep Mimi, I expect you were thinking about all the jobs that need doing.

Oma, you too. Have you sold your dining table yet?

[Oma]

Yes Plant sold it , It went 5 minutes after putting Advert on and about 60 more enquired about it that day plus even had people messaging next day to ask where we bought it from ,
My new sideboard to replace it comes today ,
Im sure you will find something nice to fill your time today ,will you go in to see the children ?

Daisy we have already had wet paws and some mud , where B has started on the boarders we had to pull back the Astro turf and Storm decided to dig in the only part that has soil under it , so plastic covering has had to go over it with plant pots to keep it down ,
Garden looks like a bomb sight at the moment .
Storm has peed on everything so next doors cats know its his

Gem is it just annual check up at vets ? he isn't ill is he ?

Mimi I hate asking SIL to sort anything as he works hard and we are always getting told off for not asking , but their are times when we need him to do stuff ,
I always try to do as much as I can without bothering him so I know where your coming from.

The rain has started but no wind yet ,

[Gemini]

Oma he has daily meds for his thyroid problem and has blood tests once in a while and his weight checked. He seems well though.

[WeeGranny]

Miserable day here. We had to make ourselves scarce when potential buyers were looking round the house. Went to the garden centre and had a wander round the indoors section and bought a couple of jars of marmalade and a scone for later today! More viewers coming Friday and Saturday morning and we've already had a couple of offers. One reduced his original offer, because he wants to add a sun room and couldn't do that if we accepted his higher offer!! Cheek of the man! Told the agent the second word to the answer was....off!

Feel really tired and down today. Too may things on my mind at the moment. So am having an easy afternoon.

DS rang last night to wish OH a Happy Birthday and he's planning to come back in the Summer for an extended stay which will be lovely.

Hope everyone has a good afternoon. xx

[Grauntie Mag]

Good Afternoon all.
Wet and windy here. I was up at 2.30am as well. I woke with the ‘nadges’ and couldn’t get back to sleep. I read my book for an hour.
Today I have filled in the Census form on line and done the ironing. That’s it. I’m just about to start the second sleeve of my jumper. The first one looks very long. I should have knitted a tension square...😬
I am so glad I don’t have a dog anymore, all that floor washing and towel washing. ‘Tis but a distant memory now.
WG, glad you have a lot of interest in your house, I hope it sells soon, then you can relax. All that keeping clean and tidy can drive a woman insane!
I wish everyone a better night tonight.
