Good Morning All x
A very damp morning so it must have chucked it down in the night again.
I'm all of a do-da this morning.
I had to be up with the lark for the workmen so here I am in the thick of it now, drilling, banging and confined to one room. Its only or the rest of the day then it'll be over. It'll take me a while to get straight but I'll take my time.

There were a lot of police/ambulance sirens going off about half an hour ago so I don't know what that was all about, what a racket. There's always something.

I hope everyone's well so enjoy the day whatever you do.

Good Morning to everyone from a dull Fife. Feeling quite down today as we normally would have visited my Aunt but she is now no longer with us. First Thursday on our own for a while so not sure what we shall do today. Was quite hectic yesterday with DGS's so took a wee bit longer to rise this morning. Hey Ho there are lots out there who have worse problems than me so will pick myself up and get on with things. I hope today is good, perhaps better than yesterday for everyone.

Morning all yes I’ve got my appointment booked in for a week come Monday for flu jab. Dull and dismal in ne, today but at least it’s not raining yet! Done lots of baking for Macmillan day for sons office so hope they make some money for that. Missing my sister who’s gone to Australia to see her daughter. Good Thursday all be careful marydoll don’t overdo it.

Good morning and welcome to everyone from another wet morning in Northampton, although it looks as though it might brighten up.

Not much planned for today, just a Sainsbury's delivery later this morning and then ballet class after lunch. DD stayed here overnight after our wine club last night. I can just hear her getting ready for work and a cup of tea awaits her in the kitchen.

Must ring for my flu jab - when I last logged on to our surgery's website there was a big notice urging over 65s to book.

Hope today is kind to all.

Nfk, I was told flu jab appointments can be made from this week on! The year has just flown by!

Good morning from Bristol, rain through the night dry at the moment , going to my DD near Wolverhampton to babysit our 16 month DGS today for a few days to give her a wee break as her husband is working away at the moment .

Hope all have a good day.

Morning All

It can't be time for flu jabs already "Marydoll*!

It's still grey and wet here in the north of Norfolk, no energy and curl up with a book weather, but I can't put sheet changing and washing off any longer. DGS is six today so we're off over there after school with his present. Party at the weekend.

Good morning all from a damp, but mild Glasgow.

Had a very tiring day looking a very hyperactive DGD (due to her medication) and helping my bereaved sister in law with some problems.

I'm supposed to be meeting two friends for lunch today, before picking ap DGD from nursery, that is if she is well enough to go. I'm awaiting the dreaded phone call. .
I don't think I can summon up the energy to get dressed, let go, but I have been putting them off for ages, due to all my ailments. They are beginning to think I don't love them any more! grin.

I have asked aout our flu jabs, but our GP doesn't have them in stock yet.
Nina, your poor DH, I hope the stings settle down very soon.

Hve a good day everyone, whatever your palns.

Morning everyone.

Dry and dull in Kent, with showers forecast.
Poor DH was stung a few times yesterday whilst doing his garden job. He has a couple that have large red areas around them. We are keeping an eye on them and he's taking antihistamine. Occupational hazzard.
Have a good day everyone.

Morning Beechnut and All.

On grandparent duty in West Sussex. Must get the oldest up for 7.00 am as he is going on a school trip to Hever Castle today and I have to get him to school by 8.00. It’s lucky they just live about 3 mins walk from the school.

I asked DH to set the radio alarm for 7.00 and at 6.00 it went off ☹️ There will be words ! He slept through the alarm of course .

Morning Beechnut, Annie, and all.

Dark, damp and dreary here in Berks.

Just drinking my first cup of tea, then must be up and ready as I have a volunteer driver to take me for my pre-op assessment this morning.
I am hoping they don't take one look at my bruised face, from my fall last week, and say 'go home'

Have a good day one and all.

Morning all, including Beechnut and Pantglas2, it's wet and miserable in East London.
Partner and I have flu jabs this morning, thanks to a reminder thread on GN.
Out for lunch afterwards.

Have a good day all and to those facing challenges- sending you good thoughts. ?

Good morning everyone from a dull, damp Essex by the sea. I'm off to Bluewater shopping centre later to meet DD2 and youngest DGD. I haven't seen them for about 6 weeks so very much looking forward to catching up. I have a few things to buy and I'm sure we will have lunch. I just hope there are no traffic hold ups.
Have a good day everyone.

Pantglas2 Thu 26-Sept-19 06:23:16

Thank you beechnut and good morning all who follow from lovely north Wales- can’t see what weather’s up to as it’s still dark but promising rain later.

Off to Waitrose/Lidl later for a big shop as there’s barely a crust in the house then plan my diary for the next week or so - people to see, films, lunches etc.

Also hope to get date for DH op which is long overdue - he’s in pain most days and it will get worse as damp weather arrives. Never mind, lots worse off than us so chin up!

Have a good day everyone x

Beechnut Thu 26-Sept-19 06:15:13

Good Morning everyone.
Very very dark and wet this morning on Severnside.
I have my craft class to look forward to today and then I have a few errands to run in town afterwards.

Here’s hoping you all have a good day ?

Beechnut Thu 26-Sept-19 06:07:24

We are off......
