Good morning Oma, Nan2, Mimi and those to come

I am having my monthly reflexology treatment at 11, then later collecting GS1 from school, doing a little shopping on the way. I think he wants to come back here this week. Either here or there is fine by me, so we shall see.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning. OH has already left to go to his work mate's funeral. There's so much to do here that I don't know where to start....with another cup of coffee I think. Hoping you all have a good day. Gem have you recovered from your day yesterday? I hope that you both enjoyed the exhibition.

Daisy that's one of my nightmares too. Thank goodness they were on their way back to you. It's an awful panic, sick feeling in your tummy when a dog makes a run for it. The little scamps.

[Qwerty]

Morning all twins day today so far had my leg remove by a very competent docotor, been to the moon on a rocket and made ice cream and gingerbread men out of play doh, think I deserve my latte be back soon, OH got man flu 🙄

[Oma]

A bit too late for good morning, but 'hello' everyone.

I've just negotiated with GD2 for a few minutes on the computer while she watches Dora! (Terrible Granny, bribing GCs with tv. )

Mimi - I know that feeling so well - where do you start, and I'lll never get it all done. Everywhere you looks there's another job to be done. I think there are 3 options - the sensible one as Oma suggests, one job at a time (with a list so you can tick them off), a bit of everything, so it's all a bit better but not 'right' or (best one!) Sit down with a cuppa and a good book, followed by a Nana nap!!! I've already cleaned the bathroom, cloakroom, dontea bit of dusting and a load of washing up - all at DIL2's house!! I must be mad.

Qwerty - thank goodness you doctor is competent! Going to the moon after major surgery could have caused problems. I hope you got your share of the ice cream and gingerbread men. Poor OH, hope he's soon better. xx

Oma - I didn't know you could make peanut butter at home! Honestly, I thought it just came in jars from the supermarket.

Gem - your day sounds much more relaxed.

Nanto and Mimi - thank you both for the cheery graphics.

[Oma]

Really easy Daisy and yummy no additives and keeps in the fridge for 4-6 weeks, not that it lasts that long for DD
You just roast plain peanuts till golden put in blender with tea spoon of salt and if you want it sweeter a spoon of honey , blitz till its butter , if you want it crunchy chop some nuts and mix in when done ,
Put in Sterile jars leave in fridge for a day or two to set and its ready to eat

Hi again,
I will write about my day yesterday in my journal, tonight. I see there are other journal entries I need to catch up on too!
Since my reflexology treatment I have been doing some work ahead of my committee meeting tomorrow, and doing some research for mums house insurance which needs renewing as her policy price seems high.
Anyway, lunch next then off to get GS via the shops.
I will be back to catch up tonight

I forget to say yesterday very glad that your x ray was clear Clover!

[Nanto2girls]

Today started off here lovely,weatherwise.
Raining now,and quite chilly,so the heating is on.

Shopping arrived about 9.20. Well stocked up again.

Qwerty, sounds like you have been having fun with the twins.

Hope all those suffering from hayfever are getting some relief.

Oma, i used to buy peanut butter for the kids when they were little.
But,it's something neither me of hubby have eaten.

Little bit in my journal about our holiday(and it is a little bit).

Onwards and upwrds,back later.

[Gemini]

Hi everyone.
I will catch up with Journals tomorrow !
I have a meeting in the morning, and GS to collect from nursery after lunch. I will come online when he has his afternoon nap. I feel I am neglecting you all, but this week is so busy.
Much of it nice stuff, but it keeps me busy nonetheless!

[Daisy]

Oma - many thanks. I'll have to have a go at making peanut butter now.

Gem - you have got a really busy week, and we know you're not really neglecting us. xx

[Gemini]

I'm trying not to
A friend called in unexpectedly to see us tonight. This was A - nice. but B - means I am now printing off stuff from tomorrows meeting which I intended to do early evening!
Night all, sleep well

[Nana]

Gem I hope you got it all done on time for tomoro & are now sleeping peacefully.😪😪😪😪

[Mimi]

Good morning all .

Now are you woken up each morning by an alarm clock or perhaps a gentle bird chorus? I’m not having any of that nonsense, oh no, nothing is guaranteed to get you out of bed in a nanosecond than a cat fight going on either side of the cat flap . All that hissing and spitting and general cat wailing soon gets you out of bed I can assure you.
I opened the back door to shoo the unwelcome cat away and then went in search of our cat only to find her curled up on the sofa asleep! I ask you !
Also you may well ask where was OH when all this was going on ? Fast asleep? Does nothing wake this man up ?


I am going back to bed in the hope that I can join the other two in perfect slumber.

Catch up with you all later

[Nanto2girls]

Mimi, hope you got some sleep.We were both up just after 5.

Sun is shining,but the forecast is for sun and showers.

Off to the clinic later,just for a routine blood test.

Gem, hope you managed to get all your printing done in time.

Have a good day everyone.
