Good morning all, is there room for a little one? I love your daily posts so thought I might chip in every now and again if that's ok.
Flippin' cold here in the East Mids and especially so when I'm standing outside in my pyjamas waiting for our banshee puppy to do her early morning wee.
Not much on today other than dog walking, a bit of shopping and the gym. It's the calm before the storm (GDs coming to stay later in the week).
To all, have a good day, and to those of you experiencing life's challenges, I hope things get brighter.

Good morning from a cool but not frosty NE.
Relative in hospital abroad, news could not be any worse. Their hospital care though is the polar opposite of gilly's DH.
Been eating out of the freezer for a week, probably need to do some shopping.
Love to gilly and hoping for better care for Mr gilly.

Good morning Mick and all x

Grey and chilly here in SE Essex.

Off to the gym for a personal training session then an hour of Callanetics. I feel exhausted thinking about it.

Enjoy your sunny Christmas scentia

kittylester enjoy your GCs play (my sister lives in Boxmoor we love walking down to see the ponies and cows).

Fingers crossed for the gillybobs

(I had the dental hygienist last Thursday)

Keep warm and safe ?

Good morning from a damp Essex. Had a lovely day yesterday visiting family in London. I was wedged between DGSs in the back of the car but a good time was had by all. We had 3 houses to visit with food, drink and presents provided in each. Had trouble wedging in the seat on the way home!! Have DGS2 this morning and having a festive meet up with my Monday retired colleagues this afternoon. Dress code is Xmas jumpers! ?
Very upset to read Gillybobs post yesterday and hope she can get DH home very soon. Hope everyone has a good day xxx

Welcome Willynilly! Love the name - it quite often describes how I’m thinking!

Good morning Annie* and all.
Shame about the trouble starting the thread for Michael. Hope GNHQ gets it sorted quickly.
It's damp , but not cold here, though last night there was a tremendous rain storm, that went on for ages, and so noisy.
EllanVannin lovely tale about your young visitors.
I suppose I should get up now shock, but it is so cosy here with my tea and GN.
Gillybob, I do so hope that you can get some help sorted out for your DH whilst he is in hospital. How can the staff be so thoughtless and unkind? The elderly man who is keeping an eye out for him, sounds a treasure.
Have a good day one and all.

Good morning Mick & all from dry, chilly Nottingham. Shops this morning. Secret Santa present to buy for work & post Christmas cards. Out for meal this evening with friends, one over from Virginia for Christmas, we’ll have a good catch up.
Hello Willynilly
Enjoy your cruise Scentia
Hope things improve for your DH Gilly the lack of care on the ward is shocking. I hope he comes home soon.
Hope all not well feel better soon & thoughts with those struggling or have worries.
Have a good everyone.

Good morning from the High Peak. Cold but dry here. Up before dawn to take DD2 to work. How she copes with the traffic every day is a mystery to me. 45 miles there and back and it took nearly 2 hours!
Going into Manchester on the train later this morning. Meeting DD1 for lunch. Then a browse around the markets before meeting both DDs to go to see the Bodyguard this evening.
Wishing all those poorly, worried, with dental appointments and struggles a good day.
Hope there is some joy in the day for all of us today.

Good morning from a yucky Glasgow.

Rubbish weather and a rubbish sleep last night. My sleep pattern has gone to the dogs but this time I blame (not so D)H! Snoring and twitching restlessly, woke me twice and I couldn’t get back to sleep. Tells me this morning he had a good sleep?

EV I envisaged those three little faces and you enveloping them with love. What a beautiful post?

Shopping trip planned with both GDs after school today. Only because I love being with them I will endure trekking from shop to shop with a smile. I really don’t enjoy shopping at all!

Hoping so much you notice huge changes regarding your DH’s care gilly . What a bloody nightmare?
Still here for you?

mick your problems sending your Good Morning message seems to have been resolved now. On the Are you having problems thread there is a message about it. Something new GNHQ we’re trying. Oops ?
