What I did today.

Bags Didn't sample one of your home-baked biscuits. Could just do with one now. Coffee time calls for a crunchy "bisquit" and a merry blether. Wish you were here.

Should be feeling poor, but am feeling rich ~ oil delivery this morning. Along with the well stocked woodpile, we will be warm this winter.

Oh, and soop - take care of that tummy and all the best for your appointment. x

Butter Wise words. x

Hope you`re soon feeling better Soop.
Just been having a bit of a cry, out of sight of everyone, a combination of feeling put upon, missing Pepper, and my aches and pains getting the better of me. Have given myself a shake, and told me to stop being stupid.

number ((( hugs ))) you are allowed to feel down sometimes, especially after losing an old friend like your Pepper. We understand. xxxx

Big hug, number. I'm a bit tearful today as my internet connection and phone line are all over the place, and, if I pay someone to come out it will make it a waste of time changing server to save money. Annoyed with myself for being so stupid !

((Hugs)) number!

Thank you, and hugs to everyone!

I have spent the entire day sorting out paperwork so that I can file everything in the new study, my back is breaking with all the stooping. The nice thing is I have found lots of GC pictures that I took down from kitchen walls

number, ((((hugs)))). Been there - I feel for you and with you. x x x

(((hugs))) and kind thoughts to all those who need a little extra love.

soop Hope your tummy feels a lot better tomorrow,and good luck with the tests.

numberSorry you've been feeling a bit low,I'm sending some for you xx

Hugs, cake and glasses of wine to all in need.

Managed to stay away until around noon (as per my request last night!)

Did manage to achieve some of my self alloted tasks, but fell by the wayside a bit when I invited my neighbour (who is going through some problems at the moment) round for coffee and a chat.

However, one of my job applications resulted in a phone call within 20 mins of submission, might have an interview early part of next week!

phoenix fingers crossed that you hear back

number {{{hugs}}}

Hugs Number and Crimson and positve vibes too.

Hope your tum is better Soop and good luck with the probing

I've managed to bring Dr.'s App. forward as the one that was THREE weeks away clashed with NO. 2 son's offer of afternoon tea at the Dorchester. I shall go to the Pre- Raph. exhibition first,must organise train tickets.

Today I have been grumbling, tried to do some gardening and got covered in pigeon poo! The blighters roost in a tree, in the field behind, that overhangs the garden. The answer to the age-old question: do pigeons poo in their sleep, is YES

Last week DD and SIL have joined a gym and have said that they will go when the little ones are in bed (bathed at 6 to 6 .30 then straight to bed after a story) would I listen out for them while they were away, yes no problem.

But she has come in at 6.30 tonight and said they have booked their induction for 6.30 next Wednesday and I now feel terrible as I snapped and said well thats a good start, thought you were going when the kids are in bed 1st visit and its all forgotten about, Now I feel unreasonable

No; you're not being unreasonable. Thinking thin end of wedges, I am.

Don't take it too harshly glass.Sometimes it just feels as though they are pushing their luck when you are feeling a bit sensitive.Snapped at my daughter on Sunday...long story involving fleas in her house, sleeping and eating at my house for a month, now gone back but we still have her kitten.She happened to say she was planning a week away in November and all I said was ' lucky you, wish I could. Then I got 'we'll you've just been to Edinburgh, blah,blah,blah.Grrrr

Funny how they upset us with what we feel is thoughtless communication. DD2's marriage has hit the buffers and we've been supportive but have kept out of it as much as possible as we are very fond of DSIL. Their phone has been out of order for a whole week due to a switch to Virgin which did not go according to plan. DD texted me last night. Was it to reassure me all was well or to inform me the phone was back on? No. It was to suggest I send money for DGD's birthday (which isn't until the end of the month) because, 'she has a list as long as your arm' Whatever happened to, 'How are you, Mum?'

I can relate to these posts! Since DD's relationship hit the rocks a couple of years ago, whenever she phones or texts me I just know before I've even picked up or looked that it's because she wants a favour. We used to have a close relationship, but now I feel as though I'm just a convenient child-minder (which is fine by me) or a cash cow!

Kids!
I'm to bed. 6am start tomorrow to sit in Cardiff!

Night, jeni

This time last night, I was asleep.

Sounds like we`re all in need of a bit of TLC, so, {flowers} and hugs all round. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
