    Qwerty - I hope you're all prepared to tire the twins out tomorrow so you get an uninterrupted night's sleep. I hope Mum and Dad pick them up early on Sunday so you can have a rest. I'm sure you will be glad when the Botox treatment is over - but well worth doing it. Poor GD1 - I bet she's devastated to miss her first sleepover with a friend. At 7 they don't realise they have all their lives ahead of them and she will have dozens of sleepovers. Your poor neighbours - very difficult for the lady. I hope she's getting help with nursing her husband.

    Oma - the bedside drawers look very good - and certainly not flimsy. Very good value, I'd say.

    LG - I hope your bodyguards are on duty tonight. If they're anything like Eva they won't be much good, I'm afraid - she tends to bark at people she knows, not potential baddies! Hopefully your OH will come home with some better news.

    Plant - you can look forward to your lovely tea now, and hopefully it won't be long before SIL is better.

    Enfys - be kind to yourself - I think some little treats are in order when you go shopping. Not long now till Monday. xx

    Zizi - sometimes you could just brain OHs, couldn't you. You really could have done with hime being home this week-end. Will the decorator come and do the last coat tomorrow or will you have to wait until Monday?

    My OH stayed in bed till lunch-time, but at least he managed a cheese sandwich and a banana for lunch - the most he's eaten for days, so I think there's some improvement. He's still coughing like a good 'un, but not quite so often. Eva is still going round with her tail between her legs, worrying about him. I took her up to the paddock this morning to stretch her legs, but she wasn't her usual exuberant self - but she could have been tired from having Cooper here yesterday.

    I managed to dust and run the sucky up thingy round the living room and hall this morning, but by the time I'd walked Eva I was shattered, and did nothing this afternoon. I think I need another early night. We should have been going to the Potato Day tomorrow to get various supplies for the allotment, but OH isn't fit to go (he took some persuading though!) and I need a day at home. We're out all day Sunday (GS2's birthday celebration) and then of course the week starts again ...

        Oma daddy has promised another Buildabear a Star Wars one wonder who that’s really for 🤔

        Daisy I will more than likely tire myself out , they want to bring dressing up outfits tomorrow, so could be cowboys and Indians and a re-enactment of Gunfight at the OK Corale or prince and princess of Yorkshire , I always get to be the greedy giant whatever it is not a too far from the truth lol,

          Daisy he is coming tomorrow at 8am and he says it only needs one more coat so hopefully will be finished by the time I get back from shopping the husband will be in lunchtime ish and we will start sorting stuff out. I just want to be back in my proper bed not a fold up, not a mattress in the floor. Husband went to bed half an hour ago and gave me a kiss as usual and gave me another one “for the morning” because he said he found it difficult getting himself up from the floor in the first place and even more difficult bending down and getting up after he kissed me goodbye which he does every day.

          We will have a week and then have the hall done. Next week I have a couple of lunch appointments with colleagues and ex colleagues which will be nice. As I haven’t had to be anywhere I feel like I have become a right old sloth and jut been wearing big baggy jumpers, leggings and boots (boots when I go out, sloppy slippers most of the time). So I am going to try to do onwards and upwards for the second time next week. There cannot be any more shocks waiting to reveal themselves.

            Daisy you really have given too much of yourself to others plus your OH being poorly. Take care and try to have a break.
            Love the bedside cupboards Oma.
            I am sure you will love being in your own bed at last Zizi.
            Sounds like a fun day for you tomorrow with the twins Qwerty

                Good morning everyone, I hope there is a huge improvement in yours and all your families health today, it certainly seems to be a very long haul this January health wise. Ona’s hug thread is a very good idea.

                Zizi once when we decorated the bedroom we spend night(s) on a blow up mattress, usually by the end of night it was no longer a ‘blow up ‘ mattress, it was n more a flat plastic/fabric piece of material on the floor. Oh my poor back just thinking of it !

                Oma the beside tables look lovely.

                Plant, how is SIL

                Enfys are you looking after yourself, how is OH


                What a day yesterday , woke with a migraine but plodded on , as you do, did some washing but I need to replace the line on the outdoor rotary aired as it’s become thread bare in places with a threat that it could break at anytime so I had to be careful how much I pegged out . I do have a new line all ready and waiting to go on but what I don’t have is the patience to stand there unthreatening the old line and rethread the new line, it takes so long to do. Then I wanted to order some plants online that were on offer but it took almost an hour to log on to the website as it kept crashing, when I did eventually get on there the stupid plants were sold out !
                Not to be disheartened I went to another website and ordered 6 bags of potting compost and 6 bags of manure .I know how to spoil myself!
                Then Tesco grocery delivery arrived only for me to discover that I hadn’t ordered any potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes. What a fool I am. Also when I came to cook lunch , we were having chicken stir fry , I discovered that I hadn’t ordered all the ingredients for the stir fry, I had got chicken and some stir fry veg but that was it , no sauce, bean sprouts or water chestnuts...... If neighbours had looked outside they would have seen me hurrying down the hill on my way to the supermarket, coat blowing in the wind as it refused to do up in my haste to leave, bag swinging on my arm and uttering unladylike words to myself! All this and the migraine still lingered on .


                Hopefully today is a much better day and who knows I might tackle that washing line !

                Have a a good weekend everyone

                Bring me sunshine in your smile.

                  Mimi,the images i have in my mind of you trundling down the hill.
                  Hope the migraine went eventually.

                    Good morning everyone. As we were out last night and I was too tired to check online when we got in, lots to catch up on here!

                    Oma, nice cabinets.
                    Plant, I'm glad the meal could be rearranged and hope SIL is starting to feel better.
                    Daisy, the same for your OH!
                    Enfys, thank you for the update
                    Libra, I'm sure dad and daughter will enjoy that time together.
                    I can imagine how your GD1 felt Qwerty. I know how disappointed my GD would be.
                    Zizi, all this sleeping on the floor must be awful. You will really appreciate having your bed back!
                    Today must be better Mimi!
                    I hope the wallpapering goes well Nan2.

                    We have GD and GS2 overnight. They won't be here until late afternoon. GD is no trouble and a delight. I would like her here most weekends really! GS is also a delight, and since he stopped teething is very good at nights again. Mealtimes are the big issue still with him, but he wont be here for many of those this time!

                    Happy Saturday everyone.

                        Horrible rainy day here . Had a quick trip out to the supermarket now going to relax before the hospital visit after lunch. I’m feeling shattered even though I’m not doing much. Bought a big bar of chocolate so will enjoy some this evening ..... blow the diet 🍫🍷🍫

                          Morning ladies a wet morning I add ☔ slept very well even though no hubby to hog the bed. Very quiet without him though. Did a quick face time with DD and hubs last night, he got Dd out for a walk but she was very tired after. I shall whip out with the dogs,then I plan on making a pea and ham pie with the gammon from the freezer left from Christmas. Hope all the poorly people are starting to feel better. Have a good day everyone.

                            Love a stir fry Mimi, water chestnuts are a must have. Hope the migraine has gone now. Lovely vision of the mad woman rushing down the street. You do spoil your garden compost and manure.

                            Enjoy your chocolate Enfys. Hope you find OH feeling better.

I've done my morning exercise with the aid of my Rosemary Conley's exercise DVD. Hoping to look a little less like the image on the left
                              and more like the image on the right

                                Morning all.

                                A wet ,miserable day here. Yesterday we had some sun but I’m beginning to think I imagined it.
                                OH is still coughing and I fear he will be for some time to come as they do hang on when they have a hold.
                                I went to nearest shop for paper and only managed to get trousers wet.

                                I hope everyone has a good day,not too tiring or stressful.With this weather I don’t feel like doing much.I might start on a jigsaw.
