Here we are again
Happy as can be
All good friends and jolly good company.
Never mind the weather
Never mind the rain
As long as we're together -
Woops we go again.
WELCOME! 
maw 
for you. No idea how you are getting through each day without your man. What are you doing over the Christmas period? Will you see Flynn? ((huggs))
Just back from London and a visit to the May Morris exhibition at the William Morris house in Walthamstow with DD

But feeling so bleak, miss Paw SO much
I always feel as you describe before a holiday galen, so far we’ve managed to get there with underwear as required and enjoyed it, well I have after a day or two to chill out. It will be fine and do you the power of good. 
There seems to be a bit of a theme today. I’m another one who can’t quite manage what I did 10 years ago. Do the family still think I can? Yes! Do I still think I can? Yes! Until I try and find I can’t. 
. Then I get seriously ratty. It’s all about the head being younger than the body I think.
I suspect charley will never want to see a builder again. A very large medal is due.
Seriously envious of sparkly nails. I’ve never dared take my feet for a pedicure. Too embarrassed, not a pretty sight,
Exhaustion doesn’t help when practical things go wrong ann, hope tomorrow is less exhausting.
Your builders are stars n&g. It will be done before you know it.
Feet up time now. We’re still recovering from two days of childcare. Enjoyed every minute but it sure reminds me of my age. Juggling our needs and the needs of the family sometimes feels like auditioning for a circus. Maybe my next career?
Keep warm and well everyone.

Good night dear peoples. I'm logging off until tomorrow afternoon. 
grannyqueenie I have a confession. A packet of Thorntons chocs was left in our post box by a kindly friend. I begged MacS to hide them until the 25th. He hid them and I then cajoled him to join me in a wee taster. Over three days, because we have the backbone of a flip flop, there is no longer anything to hide. 
Just nipping to say hello after shopping at A**i, which was not in any way an uplifting experience but was a very cheap shop. I then went to S*******y’s which was very quiet and much more civilised but the few items I bough there cost almost as much as the trolley full at the other one. I darent go near W******e! I’m now tearing myself up to bake, but am not keen I must admit.
I intended to have sparkly nails for Christmas but somehow never got round to booking it....like number of other things I never got around to doing I fear! Including today’s cooking which I’m putting off and off and off.......
Hoping all who feel frazzled have a chance to recover equilibrium soon. Discovered this little note in our study/spare bedroom where our two gds decamped yesterday with dolls and teddies in their “game”. I’m not sure if it was written for themselves or their granny!
N&G Haven't your builders been busy? It seems next to no time since you were preparing to move. Time flies when you're having fun.
kitty Wow! I have never ever had sparkly toe or finger nails. Mine are trimmed short (and they are clean) that's my lot.
I can well imagine your face when you heard the cheery greeting from your daughter and the excited younger members of the family.
I'm bang up to date with my ironing. I delivered my pal's basketful off at her home earlier today.
I've got red sparkly toe nails too, N&G Liking the look of your extension - well at least it's happening.
Ann, you are allowed to swear you know!!!
I had the nicest surprise this morning while doing my Sainsbury's shop. All of a sudden there was a shout of 'Hello Ma' and the sound of hurtling children. DD3 had come to our bigger store to do her shopping and told the children to look out for me. They then came home for lunch. They have gone now so it's on with the ironing!!!
Back later.
Galen Get packing!!! You will enjoy your boat trip. I says so. 
Dear ann I know how it feels to get into a total tiz-woz when suddenly caught up in a seeming whirlwind of manic activity. Like you, I too was extremely fit and able for a good many years. Recently, the journey to Edinburgh to meet the grans, almost reduced me to tears. At one stage, I told MacSporran that I wanted to return home. I felt out of my depth on so many levels.
You have coped remarkably well with the ongoing difficulties of your husband's ill health but you are not invincible. There is only so much stress that one can take. It is you who needs the helping hand. anno's advice is sound. The invasion is behind you. You did your best to be accommodating. I doubt that I could have managed as well as you have. and (hugs)
