Oh Glamm poor you , You cant lie you cant stand you cant sit , it just effects all your body doesn't it ,

I didn't sleep I just didn't know where to put myself .

Get sleep while you can and a gentle walk around the room every hour will help stop your back locking , although that's easier said than done when your in so much pain .xxx

Plant I'm very sorry about your friend
Nights are getting lighter Daisy, and lighter still in 3 weeks time! It sounds as though Eva had a great time

I did a wash this morning, just jeans. I hung then out as it was windy but it started to rain so OH set up a line in the garage and I moved them there.

I walked into the village to post a letter. It was chilly and my knee and back were hurting, but I tell myself it must have done me good!

Plant, sorry to hear your sad news about your friend.

Hope all of you with aches and pains feel better soon.

[Daisy]

Daisy, my posts vanish before I have finished typing! Glamm, I hope your back pain soon eases.

Do you use a table/iPad or a laptop, Lizzie? On your lap or at a table or desk?

[Daisy]

Gem, I think the exercise is good for us. I have walked more than usual today - about 6 km, just short of 10,000 steps. I know 10,000 steps a day is what all the fitness gurus tell you, but I always console myself that they can't possibly mean your average 77 year old! But strangely, I do feel better for it today. Even though I'm tired it's a relaxed sort of tired.

I love it when the clocks go forward at the end of this month! Spring is then definitely on the way.

Glamm - I hope you can sleep better tonight. Take care.

Glamm, so sorry to hear you are in such pain, do you suffer with back problems, I don't remember you having back trouble. It sounds as if you need professional help.

Daisy, it is on my Mac that they sometimes vanish!

Its a beautiful morning. A bit nippy,but the sun is shining.

[Gemini]

Good morning everyone.

The sun is peeping out here too Nan2.
I hope Glamma's back is improving today.

This morning we are due a planned power cut. This to correct some local problem and we should be without power between 11 and 2. I have made sure my phone and laptop are charged,and will top up my laptop just before. If we want a cuppa during that time we will have to boil a pan!
Today will be my first time to collect GS1 from his new school. I know the school well. DD3 went there, and I worked there for fours year as classroom volunteer then for two as a paid classroom assistant. And it is the school my mum went to from age 7 to 14. A lot of family links!
This is our between shopping orders week. We may go to Aldi for a look round and get the things we need, mainly veg and yogurts, from there.
It is the quiz with friends tonight. I have stepped in to run it as the friend who was doing it has a meeting, so we have swapped weeks.
In case you are interested, their topics this week are Guess which book the character is from, an Animal picture quiz, and a General knowledge round, the answers to which all begin with S.

Have a good Tuesday all.

[Lizzie48]

Good morning, I have just cleaned my car, I don't use it often and it is in a garage, some way or other it still gets filthy, it is clean now, I need to hoover the inside but will do that another day.

You will enjoy picking GS1 up from school Gem.

Good morning ladies

Gem that certainly is a family connection ,
Hows your knee and back are they ok after your walk ?

Lizzie you wonder where the muck comes from don't you ,

Glam hows the back today ?

Bad night for me up and down tried in each bed on the sofa and on the recliner , just couldn't settle and sleep
Eventually went back up to our bed at 5 and slept for 2 hours yey

Did my ironing and dusted through ,
I think I may change my mind about no coffee table , I have sold ours and I feel a little on edge the room looking so empty ,
My OCD also effects what is around me if something isn't right I feel very on edge

Hope everyone is feeling ok today enjoy whatever your up too ladies xxxx

Good morning Nanto and Sunshine.

It's a beautiful day here - the frost is clearing and there's a bit of warmth in the sun. Spring must be in the air because Eva's been behaving like a mad March hare this morning, racing round the garden with squeaky toys, leaping on the bed, chasing up and down stairs. Not the zoomies, just full of joy.

Lots of options for what to do today, but we'll see how things go after I've had a shower and got dressed.

Gem - your quiz sounds very interesting! I'm sure I could make a very competent job of coming bottom though. You could make a flask of boiling water for the duration of the power cut. It helps when you know in advance and can plan accordingly. I'm sure GS1 will be delighted you're picking him up from the 'family' school - what a lot of links you have with it.

Lizzie - your car must look immaculate, I'm sure. Mine desperately needs a wash, but between the dust from our roof work and building work next door there isn't much incentive. That's my excuse anyway, and I did clean the nose bumps from the rear windscreen a few days ago!

Glamm - how are you today? If your back's no better perhaps you should see your doctor. xx

[Daisy]

Daisy, it is on my Mac that they sometimes vanish!

Lizzie - just a thought. It's very easy to catch a key with your sleeve or the heel of your hand especially when you're reaching out for the mouse. It's also quite easy to misjudge the right spot on the mouse for the action you want. I do both of these regularly! Sometimes your post is still there and if you leave the post and then start another one in the same thread it will ask if you want to restore previous text.

Lizzie my car needs a clean, it is mainly in the garage (the one without the furniture stored in it) and I haven't used it much in the past few months. I can't wait for the car cleaning guys are opening up again. We shall all be rushing back. Nice and sunny today, might get in the garden after I have done the inside chores.

Gemini, how nice for you to be collecting GS from the school with all those family connections. Good luck with the quiz you are organising.

Daisy I hope Eva's prediction is right, Spring will life our spirits.

Glamm, I do hope your back is feeling less painful today.

[Lizzie48]

Plant, I was thinking of driving to the wash place, but, I don't mind washing my car, I want to get my carrier fitted on for the good weather so wanted it cleaned before I do that. Daisy, I think that is what happens, I touch the wrong key.
