A grand day.

Sunshine and clear sky. Magic.

Loads of odds and sods of jobs done today.

Makes you feel as if you've done something constructive.

It's staying lighter a bit longer now and that's a bonus.

Hope you are all well and if you're still coughing and spluttering after all this time.........it's time to go see a Vet . LOL

Hopefully catch you all later.

An early evening chuckle.......

INVEST FOR THE FUTURE

An Estate Agent was pushing hard to sell a house to a really old chap.

After praising it's numerous attractive features he finished up his sales pitch with the following.....

'Remember, Mr Brown, this is an Investment for the future'

'Listen, young man,' said Mr Brown wearily, ' at my time of life I don't even buy Green Bananas' !!!!!!!!.

I've been out most of the day, I go shopping on a Tuesday. It took me ages to shop today because I kept bumping into people I knew and stopped to chat to them all.

And me.
Hope you are all well. Been dry and sunny here today but colder which is fine by me providing it doesn't snow or rain. New boiler is in but not working (Grrrrrrrrrrr) a faulty control box apparently. Oh well I suppose one more night without heating won't hurt.

Hi ya one and all.
Spent most of today, looking after new mum and baby. Little one is being a right pickle, she's still not feeding as well as she should be.
She is going six hours between feeds,and then it's a job to get her to take the bottle.
So today,as much as they didn't want to, they have given her a dummy, to get her used to sucking. Only when the bottle is put in her mouth, she acts like a typical woman, and opens her mouth wider, but doesn't drink the milk down.
The midwife phoned today, but did not visit, and my son asked about baby not drinking,and the midwife told him not to worry she will take it when she's hungry.
It still doesn't stop them both worrying though.
I am so cheesed of, those photo's will not send from their phones. I know
that S, had problems sending her scan photo's to me, but they did eventually come through.

I am sorry to hear that everyone is still suffering from their coughs.
And Rita, stop being greedy, you've had the virus once, you cannot have it again, so stop that sneezing and coughing.

I am here as well. I had my tea. I kept getting facebook relation send me messages, so I answered then I had another cup of tea and went back to doing my accounts.
I have had a restful afternoon after that
.
Marilyn your be so busy when you come home. all the washing and ironing and putting things away. then your dentist appointment and your husbands appointment that should keep you out of mischief.
Carole said you should have gone to the dentist in Cyprus she reconds there are much better than in England..
when will you get your little face back ?

Pauline it is nice to meet people and have a little chat when your out. breaks the day up.
Jean are you getting back to norm now your out of hospital .?did you see the foals today ?

Pat another friend of mine phoned today and she told me she has her cough back. I wondered if it had anything to do with the rain ? silly I know but I dont know what else it could be ?

Shelly is that why you stay up late so you can watch the sort of TV you like lol.

where is Catherine today ? and Yvonne Sue and Lady and Liz they have not been on for a while.

Good evening
Well I went to the dentists this morning he filled 3 teeth and smoothed off another then did a scale & polish. So all is good now til May when I need another polish, so thats ok.
Little was sick in the car again today !!! Only 10 mins from home. She has another cold and I think it was all the muck she is swallowing. So no outing for us today. Then she refused most of the food her mum had packed for her meals today. So when mum picked her up tonight, she said, oh she is often sick in the car just before she goes down with something !!! So if she appears unwell in the morning I will need to talk to Mum about how wise it is for me to have her. I really don't want anymore illness.

I will try to do some research this evening or maybe some more knitting.
Did you give your son the knitting you were doing for Lily Mo?

Hello,
I've had my tea.
I'vw written 2 thank you letters- one to my niece and one to my nephew.
I've also booked a hoilday to the Isle of Wight on June.
For the last couple of years I've gone to Tenerife in November. I've got an old school friend who lives there and I stay in the same resort where she lives. It nearly killed me coming back to the cold weather.I just fancied a holiday in the Summer and in England. Mind you I haven't told my friend yet.

Shelly she didn't want to breast feed, but in desperation this morning she tried, but little minx decided she wasn't going to play ball that way either.

Dont know about star, mad more like.
I have 2 grandchildren to look after each afternoon from 12 o clock and 2 more who I collect from school. When my daughter arrives at 5.15 to pick up her 3 and my son at 5.30 to collect his daughter they nearly always end up eating here plus my 2 daughters who are still living at home, OH and myself. Occasionally a partner turns up too. I have to plan ahead and usually shop when I finish work at 11am.
Tomorrow is roast beef (already defrosting) which means peeling about 7lbs potatoes, not to mention a mountain of other veg.
No wonder I'm k******ed at the end of the day, lol.
