Have a lovely day everyone

Good morning everyone.


Hear hear to the sunny June, Nan2!

Excellent plan there Mimi!
Daisy, I hope you will take some time between tasks to relax on the sunlounger

Usual Thursday with my mum. Shopping, stopping for coffee somewhere, then time back at her house. I think I will plant out her bedding plants in the front border too. She likes to do the small tubs herself, but isn't up to the borders any more.
Golf for OH plus a golf club meal tonight, so it's meal for one again

[Qwerty]

Morning ladies been for fresh bread and we met almost everyone we know , well it seemed like that .
We just walked away from chatting to our neighbours and then bumped into another , then a friend of our DD , and a lady we know from our local hospital visits,
Bought a nice blouse while I was out so not a total waste of a morning
After lunch B is going to try get the rest of the fence and back gate painted then that's sorted before we have to paint the outside porch supports and the railings maybe next week .
I'm going to spray all the weeds on my neighbours drive and front door ( the one in mental health hospital still ) they getting very big and looking a eye sore and she isn't going to get them done , so I asked her Mother if it was ok for me to do them and she's happy with that .
I bought a nice small sort of Moroccan candle holder hanging thing yesterday .so I'm going to hang that at the patio windows so it catches the light its a lovely purple colour ,and I think that's all today ,
Have a lovely day ladies xxx

Just got back from JL, went to arrange a carpet estimate to fit a new carpet in the lounge, dining room after it is decorated and to look at curtain material, they are both going to send samples.Felt quite pleased with myself so went to get a free tea/coffee and cake, that was a mistake as you have to go through the ladies clothes dept. Then wandered into the swimming costume dept. and nightwear. Came home with new summer pyjamas, swimming costume, sun hat and a pair of cream trousers The trousers, hat, swimming costume are for my holiday. Now feeling poor and full of scone.

Just remembered I have a Dr's appointment at 10 past 4 see if he can give my anything else to ease the pain in my fingers , don't think he can I have had all sorts and hospital couldn't but you never know its worth a try isn't it .
I received a text yesterday to remind me of the appointment and still forgot till about 10 minutes ago need something for my memory too hahaha

[Nanto2girls]

Oma, if they can give you anything for your memory,be sure to let me know.Hubby definately needs something.

[Daisy]

Well when you have finished, I have a scrubby area needing cleaning

Hahaha, Plant. So far I've cleared out the greenhouse, but it's too hot to work in there at the moment, so I'm taking a break! I think your shopping trip went very well indeed!

Oma - I've noticed when you go shopping it's always a social event! But it's nice when you bump into friends like that isn't it! You're a good neighbour, sorting out that lady's weeds for her. I hope you can get something to ease the pain in your fingers, it must be so annoying (as well as hurting, of course).


If anyone finds the solution to a bad memory please remember to tell us all!! On Tuesday we went to friends for dinner. when we arranged it the roofers were here doing the Velux windows and I couldn't get to either the calendar or my diary so wrote it in later - with the wrong time!! I totally forgot my friend had suggested an early start because another friend who was going likes to eat early. They had to ring us to say 'are you coming, or what'!! I had a very red face.

Right, my little break is over - back to the salt mines.

[Oma]

Daisy that's because we will talk to anyone

[Daisy]

Hahaha, Oma. I did wonder, but didn't want to be rude!

[Mimi]

Good morning all.
As I was waiting for the kettle to boil so that could make my early morning cuppa I was gazing out of the kitchen window and I could see that it looks as if it's about to rain at any moment, hopefully it won't be in for the whole day.

Daisy I would love to know of any tip that would help me remember things. I was never blessed with a good memory, mum used to dispare at my memory as running errands for her as a child was useless unless everything was written down on paper and I seem to be getting worse as time goes on . I have to keep telling myself that I have to go for a mammogram next week and although it's written down on the calendar in the kitchen it's not a lot of help if I don't look at the calendar. Also it's on the same day as the general election !

Have a lovely day everyone

[Nanto2girls]

A beautiful morning. Just done my ironing before it gets too warm.

[Daisy]

Good morning, Nanto and everyone. It's already quite warm here this morning, and we need to go shopping. Ugh! Never mind, the supermarket's right next door to the garden centre and there are a few odds and ends I need from there.

Mimi - I was always losing things as a child. I drove my mother mad! I haven't got a good short term memory and can't learn things off by heart. So I don't expect things to improve now! I'm probably slightly dyslexic as I can't spell either and can get letters the wrong way round - especially d and b. It's not a big problem but a bit of a nuisance when I forget some things. The only tip I have is going through the day ahead in my mind and trying to memorise what I need to do and visualising them. By the way, I can't remember if it works or not!!

[Gemini]

Good morning all.A warm one here too!
GD and GS2 all day as it is half term.. Tesco order between 12 and 1, so we'll let GS have his morning nap then go out this afternoon.

Daisy and Mimi, I would be useless without everything written down. On wall calendar, diary and phone!

[Plantaholic]

I have always found remembering dates difficult, I can remember the year we got married and the years the children were born but that's about it. I always had to ask OH what year we did this and that. I have to have everything on a calendar on the kitchen wall. I am quite a tidy person so can usually remember where I put things.
