have a good say all.

Good Morning Nina and everyone. I was waiting for you to open up!

It's dark here on the south coast too but I think we are promised a reasonable day and a warmish week to come.

It's laundry day for us and I need to make a start on plans for 25 December. I have a few ideas but need to firm them up.

Hope the day is a good one for us all. sunshine

Morning Nina Gaga and All to follow.

Cloudy here in South Bucks.

Recovering from a full on weekend with our DGSs. We were given a detailed timetable of where each DGSwas meant to be during the weekend and our role in it. We found it surprisingly helpful. My DS kindly programmed a couple of rest sessions for me ?

Keep Fit. This morning. I really find it hard getting up in the dark to get ready.

Morning Nina, morning All. Dark in our corner of Somerset too, dry and feels chilly but that may just be because I’ve had a dire night. No plans for 25 December here yet gaga, it will happen with or without I guess. Meeting a GN friend this morning so a good one ahead. Hope Monday is kind to everyone.

Good morning from Northampton, looks dry outside.
Really nice day yesterday spent with DD, including a trip to newish retail park, had glass of pink fizz at a champagne bar, and a good mooch around the shops; but didn't see anything I really wanted - except a new loo brush and holder!
Yoga this morning then out with family tonight to celebrate DGD's birthday, she's 11 today! Where did all those years go?

Good morning all from a damp Glasgow. Hopefully it will stay that way and no rain.
We have DGD today, so a visit to the garden centre and tea and cakes are the plan.
I hope those who are away are having a good time.
Kate, you have my permission to spoil yourself today! grin
Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning everyone, grey but fair here in N Bucks so might turn out to be a nice day.
I think bluesapphire was really pushing the boat out yesterday- a new loo brush AND holder? (Memo- drink more pink fizz next time!grin )
I too feel the urge to start on LISTS as I suspect C ....will be upon us before we know it . I used to think of DD3’s birthday as the point to start planning (next weekend) but they will be in NY and that will slip by.
Does anybody else have that nightmare that it’s C.... morning and you have forgotten to buy any food? Or just me?
So, onwards and upwards!
Wishing you all a pleasant day!

Good Morning All. Cold out but not too much cloud so far. I am without any ideas for Christmas for my little grandsons . Six years and rising four. Other than Lego and we have a big box of it in our loft. Last year I gave them money, in charge of parents for big outings. The aquarium in Hull and Sundown Adventure land are the most favoured right now. No ideas for one else.

Good morning everyone from a very dull, but mild Essex. Youngest GD for day yesterday so need to recoup my energy levels. It was lovely having her though. DH out this morning on a hobby so housework for me. Hope you all have a good day.

NanKate Mon 12-Nov-18 07:13:27

Thanks Mary after Keep Fit I intend doing as little as possible. ?

Good Morning from a damp Black Country but with a very bright blue sky. Just back from taking Partner to train station and it is surprisingly very mild.

Usual Monday 90 minutes walk this morning. Then popping to Aldi for a few bits and bobs.

Making a Lasagne this afternoon for the freezer (I know how to live smile

Have a good day everyone

Good morning, Nina and all GNs. When I looked out at six o’clock Venus was very bright in a clear sky. All change an hour later to a pall of grey. Yesterday’s sunshine was lovely though. Domestics here today and then maybe out for tea with DD and GS later. Have a good day, folks.

Willow10 Mon 12-Nov-18 07:18:26

Good morning all. Dry and bright but chilly in East Northants. Yesterday was spent watching soppy Christmas films and doing a jigsaw. Taking granddaughter and baby great grandson to a garden centre today to see the Christmas lighting and displays. There, I've said it, the C word - twice! Have a good day everyone!

Morning All

Grey and still outside here in the north of Norfolk.

Got back fairly late last night from a weekend with DD1 and family on the other side of Aylesbury. A lovely weekend with a lovely lunch in a lovely local pub yesterday to celebrate our birthdays in the company of the other grandparents too. No idea what's planned for today after the long hot bath I intend to have shortly.

Morning all from a misty Suffolk. Our room over looks the sea which I'm sure is there somewhere!!

We slept till 7 which is totally unheard,

Good morning All x

Bright in the North West though not sure if it will last. I've been up since 5am pottering and tidying up.Why I wake at this hour I don't know but I can't go to sleep again as I'm always wide awake. Maybe because I have the bedroom window open,I don't know but I love to smell the sea air.

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester. Just put some rubbish out and it's quite mild.
Walking Netball this morning.

Good Morning from a damp but brightish Fife. Plan to go for a day trip to the big capital today for a nosey around shops. Hope all are fine today for those under the weather just keep your chin up. Have a good day all.

Good morning everyone from a grey Essex by the sea . Off for my flu jab later then some food shopping. Lasagne to make for dinner tonight. Sounds like a fun day !!!

Nannytopsy Mon 12-Nov-18 08:31:40

Good morning from Leicester which is bright and sunny. We too had a busy weekend with DS and family. I am not sure who was most excited - DGC or Grandpa! It has given us new ideas for C presents so I am off to a toy shop this morning and this afternoon I will make the C cake. Lots of lists here too!

harrigran Mon 12-Nov-18 08:41:21

Good morning, dry and bright here in the NE.
I have linen cupboards to sort and wardrobes to tidy but first I will just spend a while on GN.
