Posh? Oh I wish. They are all small sheds, honest. No garage so the junk has to go somewhere. Mr C is a hoarder of things that may be useful one day, better for my sanity in the sheds than in here grin.

Morning all from sunny South Notts where we have blue skies after yesterdays heavy shower.

So glad I bothered to mow the lawn before the downfall.

Out for a drive and the shopping later.

You've really been through the wars, marydoll and gillybob - I hope things get better for you.

Hope is well with everyone.

Good morning from Shropshire where the sun is shining.
A quiet day for us,we were meant to be going out with DD1 and DGD but DD is not feeling up to it,She is 36 weeks pregnant and has been doing too much,we hope she is starting maternity leave this week.
I have signed up to do a 100 mile walking challenge in September,seemed like a good idea at the time!Will Aim to do 3 miles today?
Gillybob, I hope your husband is feeling better today.
Dragonfly,sending you much love and best wishes for tomorrow.?

Good morning from a bright and breezy Kent.

I've been up a while but have been busy and only just picked up my phone. DH is down the plot and will bring home the accompaniments for tonight's roast chicken.
Meanwhile, Ill be settling down with a coffee and today's large crossword.
Have a good say everyone.

Morning all lovely sunny day in Bristol.

Back now from my night away looking after the wee one, he is walking now and into everything we needed eyes in the back of our heads but it was fun.
Expecting the other 2 Dgc and ds this morning have not seen a lot of them over the holidays as they have been away a lot, mum is a teacher and has the holidays off, but back to the school runs next week, it keeps us on track with what day of the week it is.

Good morning from sunny N. Bucks!
Yesterday’s rain must have been very localised as Northampton is not far and I didn’t see any - the garden is still parched.
Got various jobs done yesterday but will somebody please, please remind me never to go near a shopping centre on a Saturday afternoon especially at the end of the month/end of the school holidays! It was the seventh circle of hell and not to be repeated!
Wishing you all a pleasant day ??

Urmstongran Sun 01-Sept-19 09:16:34

Ha! the seventh circle of hell. Great description MawB!

Poor you Harris - kidney stone pain is excruciating. I remember years ago rocking up at A&E begging for morphine. It was given and I was admitted PDQ.

Nannytopsy Sun 01-Sept-19 09:19:50

Good morning everyone! That was bad luck Harris - I have that T shirt and know how unpleasant the little blighters are. Maw just need to pop up the road to Leicester - lots of rain about, in short sharp showers. Looks better today.
Well, a final push on the packing, a last cut of the lawn and the last run to the tip today as we should move out on Tuesday. Not sure I can stand the tension - will we exchange tomorrow or not???

ninathenana Sun 01-Sept-19 09:19:58

Sorry Harris have just read through previous posts.
You certainly did have an unfortunate end to your holiday.
Wishing you a speedy recovery thanks

A late good morning from the NE coast where it is dry for now but rain due later .

After another horrible night of barely any sleep DH is now sleeping (unknown for him to be in bed after 7am) . I’m not sure what we can do really . Surely they cant expect him to go backwards and forwards to A&E every couple of days for another 2 weeks (at least) ?
We had a very rare invitation out to dinner at my cousins last night but had to cancel so feeling a bit down about that. DH said I should have still gone but I couldn’t really.

Thank you everyone for your good wishes, you are so kind.

Anyway I had a fix of cabbage (been craving it for days) washed down with a nice glass of red, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Watched a bit rubbish TV on catch up too.

I’m so sorry to hear that you have ended up in hospital Harris27 what an end to your holiday that was . I hope you are feeling better soon. flowers

I would love to have a garden big enough for 5 sheds cornergran I wouldn’t want all the sheds but the space they stand on would be most welcome . smile

I hope you continue to enjoy your holiday in Malaga Urmstongran despite your recent sad news.

I love gammon done in Coca Cola kittylester in fact I might do some during the week. I have never tried it with cherry coke mind you. I can’t decide whether it sounds delicious or disgusting. Do report back . smile

I hope everyone has a lovely Sunday doing just what they want to do or nothing at all. xx

Good morning from sunny Devon, chilly first thing, sign of Autumn. Went to local Nourish Festival yesterday, lots of lovely stalls. Today I plan a day in the garden, nothing too strenuous, possibly just sit in the sun with my booksmile

Good Morning All x White rabbits.
Winter draws on here ! A rather cool ( cold ) sea breeze which is just about managing to blow the rain clouds away but now and again I can see spots on the window.

I've been up a while but make the mistake of studying all the threads on here before saying my " good morning ". Too nosy I suppose.

Not a lot going on today but I've decided to make a quick chocolate cake after the lamb's done, with a choc and orange filling for a change. Exciting !

What a worry for you gillybob, that's no good at all having to wait and also the fact that you too are losing sleep with the busy life you have.

Best wishes to those under the weather with illness and bad news and I hope things improve as the day goes.

Urmstongran Sun 01-Sept-19 10:43:57

Ooh EV you sound just like Ma Darling from ‘Buds of May’ with your scrumptious meals (and baking)! Nom. Nom.

EllanVannin Sun 01-Sept-19 11:02:03

Aw, Urmstongran, I do me best. x

hulahoop Sun 01-Sept-19 11:51:37

Poor you Harris hope you feeling better today ?It's a mixed day weather wise here in Yorkshire sunny with small showers have managed to get washing dry so that's good have a good day everyone ?

Rufus2 Sun 01-Sept-19 12:43:27

never to go near a shopping centre on a Saturday afternoon especially at the end of the month/end of the school holidays!
White rabbits to EV and all traditionalists! wink
Age has compensated me by warning against shopping malls on weekends, especially on Father's Day such as today here in Melbourne!;
And I've even been banned from running my own BBQ on OH&S grounds! sad
