They look very nice Oma. I like the carpet as well.

[Gemini]

Oma, that is exactly the sort of coffee table we are looking for!

We got GS safely delivered home, and delivered a free desk to a girl with no car!

[Oma]

Thank you Lizzie it will be better to look after than the glass ones ,

Gem im glad someone wanted the desk it looked like new and a nice size too .

The coffee table has those drawers you can open from either side , I didn't realise it did till we unpacked it

[Daisy]

Oma - I love the carpet and the new furniture. I love the rounded ends. It's not something I ever thought about until we got furniture that had square corners, especially when there are small children or dogs about!

I'm so glad you sorted out the prices as well.

How are you enjoying the new-carpet smell? I love it.

You can put your feet up and relax for a bit now.

[Daisy]

Gem - I'm glad the emergency transport arrangements worked out ok. Does you SIL know what's wrong with their car?

[Gemini]

The clutch Daisy. They are hoping they may have it back tomorrow afternoon.

[Daisy]

Ouch! At least they will get it back quickly. It's surprising how much you depend on your car, isn't it!

[Gemini]

It is Daisy! If you remember they couldn't get him into the local school, so it's 6 mile round trip twice a day.
I have to be at theirs early in the morning to take him in, so it's goodnight from me 😃

[Nanto2girls]

Mimi, sorry to hear the sad news about your cat. We have been there.

Oma,new furniture looks good.I much prefer wooden furniture to glass.
Carpet looks nice as well.

Sun is shining.

Off to visit in laws later,its their anniversary today.

[Gemini]

Good morning Nan2 and everyone else. A sunny morning here.

How lovely to have new a grandchild amongst us again at last!
Happy anniversary to your in laws Nan2.

An early start for me. I am taking GS1 to school. He has to be there for 8.35, what sort of unearthly time is that to start school?!! He finishes at 3.20 so seems to have a longer day than either of his cousins.
This morning we are going to mum's again. This time to move the remaining furniture and boxes into the garage. We are bringing two items home as it's easier for us and the person collecting them this evening.
Library for me this afternoon.
GD starts her Year 6 Residential trip today. I hope she has a wonderful time, and I long for Friday afternoon when I know she is safely back!

Have a nice day ladies.

[Daisy]

Good morning early birds and those who come later.

Nanto - I hope your in laws have a lovely day for their anniversary. Seventy-six years is incredible. xx

Gem - I still think it's awful that your GS1 has to travel to a school 3 miles away instead of going to his local school! Will he be able to transfer if a place becomes available? I'm sure your Gd will have a great time on her residential.

Mimi - you're in my thoughts today. Sending hugs. xxx

It's cool and damp here this morning - not very promising at the moment. We have our first meal out today since March 2020! DS1 and DIL have to bring their car down this way for some work to be done on it, so we've arranged to meet them for an early lunch in an actual real pub, and then drop them off at a retail park as they are looking for a new sofa.

I must take Eva out for a walk before we go, so I'd better get a move on - my Rapunzel hair takes ages to dry!

[Oma]

Morning ladies ,
A nice sunny morning but rain forecast for after lunch
Storm has had his treats he is now lying asleep in the garden after trying to catch the squirrel who looks at him like he is mad

Nanto hope in laws have a nice day ,

Daisy how exciting a meal in the pub will feel like your at the Ritz after all this time , although I bet it feels strange xx

Gem is this the last of Mums stuff to go ?

Off to do my ironing now , I will get it out of the way now I hate it hanging around ,
Will catch up later xxx

[Gemini]

GS delivered. We had a nice chat with a little girl in the playground about boarding schools. GS's verdict, he wouldn't want to go even if there was a swimming pool!
When I collected GS, DD1 and I had our first hug for over a year. Very emotional for both of us.

Daisy, they wouldn't want another move for GS, although the travelling is a pain for them when they can see the local school from their garden! He is settled at his school now and it's a good one. The secondary school he will go to is just a mile down the road. I imagine he will cycle there.

Oma, its the last of the stuff to leave the house, so it's clear for photos tomorrow. Most of it will be in the garage, to be disposed of before the house is actually sold.

[Plantaholic]

Mimi, it is very sad when you have to say goodbye to a pet.

Daisy, have a lovely meal with your family, first of many I hope.

Oma, love your new furniture and carpet, not so much dusting and dog licks.

Gemini, that is a long way to travel to GS’s school, perhaps a space will be available in the local school. You sound as if you are getting to the end of clearing your mums home.

No plans for me today, GGC will be next door so I might see them. My brain is in overload, my GS3 talked me and showed me what and how I can access things on my new IPad. He just enjoyed playing with it. Had a call from GD1, she was back from the mother and baby group and would GS and I like to go down. GS3 hadn’t seen baby H or their flat, he was very impressed. I am going to try to have a quiet day today, Yesterday, I put a cake in the fridge, couldn’t find my kitchen scissors, they were in the drawer all the time, then had a panic about my car insurance details, they were in the car insurance file all the time. I must realise that my old brain can’t absorb so much information.

[Oma]

Have you chose a estate agent Gem ? my niece has gone with Purple bricks , she did consider right move but not sure why she didn't choose them.

Plant sometimes you cant find things for looking , I find if B is looking for something I will follow him and I will find it in a place he has already looked ,
Sometimes stop looking have a rest then look again and you find it
