    Good afternoon ladies. Everyone seems to be very busy, but <she says, whispering> in December you will all be sitting round bored silly with nothing to do!

    I'm still shattered after yesterday. It's always a long day, but the dog training class before ours over-ran by nearly half an hour, so we didn't finish until 10.30, plus 20 minutes or so to drive home. After getting up at 6.15 I really couldn't wait to get into my bed. We then overslept this morning. I woke up at 9.10 and had to shake OH awake as his wood-turning buddies were due to arrive at 9.30! I can't say I've done anything useful so far today - apart from creating a poll on here asking for you to vote for DS2's puppy's name! I have my priorities right. I'm ignoring the overflowing laundry basket - it's too wet to dry outdoors anyway, and going to cook something easy for dinner tonight. If it doesn't get any warmer I'll be lighting the woodburner - it feels very damp and chilly.

    Gem - what joy - a new loo seat. We have mincemeat OH made last year, so no doubt i'll have to make some eventually. But not yet!!!!! Thank goodness your OH is ok now.

    Oma - I hope your DD managed to get her point across about the letter - no doubt it's some kind of computer-generated standard letter, but it's being used very inappropriately. Your poor OH, being dragged off to Ikea.

    Nana - so pleased you have been discharged from the Eye hospital. It sounds a good decision not to risk any more treatment for what might be little or no improvement in your sight.

    Clover - it sounds as though you replaced that old tank just in time. At least you can now sleep easy without worrying you might get a cold, unplanned shower. I hope the flu jab went ok for both of you.

    Plant and Zizi - it's lovely to have new decorations and some new furniture. Enjoy!

    Nanto - what a lovely cheerful graphic.

            Qwerty - I wouldn't pay that for it either. DS2 and DIL gave us caravan mugs last Christmas - Grandad's caravan mug, and Grandma's C M. One of them split in two the first time we tried to make a cup of tea in it, so I'm afraid they both went in the bin. I just hope they were much, much cheaper than that one!!!

              Poor you Qwerty, I hope you're feeling better! I bet you can't wait to see the nursery photo

              The new loo seat is here Daisy. Now to see if it fits.

              Chilly here too Nan2. I think I will have to wear a proper coat when I go out tonight.

              We enjoyed Victoria and Abdul. Judi Dench can still act! I hadn't expected it to be so sad at the end though.

                  I was in town today with a bunch of deaf children, most of them also had other problems but I had to change the presentation to take into account the signer. The children were delightful althiugh after a while I could tell that the presentation was no longer of interest so we went on to colouring in the “naughty picture” and trying on all the PPE, much more fun than some old woman talking to fhem!

                    Qwerty - I'm so sorry, I missed your post saying you weren't feeling very well - I think you posted while I was typing! I do hope you're feeling better by now. What a nuisance for your OH having to go back to the opticians. I think it can be quite hard to get varifocals just right but hopefully next time they'll be spot on.

                    I hope the twins enjoy their first photoshoot! It's great fun photographing little ones.

                    Gem - did it fit ok? It's been chilly here as well. Perhaps you should have got a heated loo seat with winter nearly upon us!!

                    Zizi - It's the mark of a good speaker/presenter that she can instantly adapt her material to suit the audience. I'm sure the children enjoyed the session.

                          You can see by the time it's late/or early so I'm sorry that I'm too tired to answer individually. I just wanted to thank you for all your good wishes. Qwerty, sorry to disappoint but I've not got a degree in child psychology... I wish😉 Hope everyone's well again.

                          Oma have you seen they've named the next hurricane Brian? I always knew he was trouble😂

                              Happy Anniversary Nan2 and hubby x

                              Hope all the poorly people are feeling much better now.

                              Pouring with rain here, nothing much planned today. DH has hospital appointment this morning, his follow up to his two week trial with his new diabetes monitor. It’s been very successful and easy to use, it’s a shame it’s so expensive but there are plans to make it available on the NHS. Might not be for him but would be great if children could have it.
