Pleased that you are having a good day Mel.

Morning Island.

Mandy yes he came and has gone away to make a 'plan' not sure what he will do but I thhink he didn't like the fact that the 'door' was loose and just slid across, he wants to make a hinged one. He was looking at the ladder as well and rightly said he dousn't know why it was put the way round it is as it would be easier the other way. Of course when T put it in he was 54 and very agile so that is why he chose the easiest option. Anyway, he is busy but it will get done eventually I am not in a rush at the moment.

I am more concerned as to why my heating didn't switch off this morning when it should have done. Better than not switching on I suppose but I need to keep an eye on that.

Two more cards just arrived and thank you Anng for my lovely fairy card I love it.

Morning All,

Thanks you for my birthday wishes and the cards you sent they are lovely.

Yes lots of pressies some of my favorite chocs (cherry liquers with a cherry inside and whiskey truffles) and a tennon saw which I needed. Also liquid silicone so I can make some moulds and pots to mix it in and from my siser in law I had a metal butterfly you nail to a tree. I love things I can use for my crafts.

The suns shining and the sky is blue with big white clouds but how long will it last as its windy and there are grey clouds to the north as I type?

Happy Birthday Mel.
Enjoy your special day <3

Morning Mandy. Invisible. How are you?

Forgot to say. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEL <3 <3

:-D :-D :-D <3 <3 HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEL <3 <3 :-D :-D :-D

Morning Anng morning all,

<3 <3 <3 Happy birthday Mel <3 <3 <3

Hope you have a lovely day and enjoy your roast that OH is going to cook, have you had some nice pressies .

Oh dear Ann hope OH is not to bruised after his fall it shakes you up when you go down like that .

Suns now shining ,looking at the weather for the week we should have a showery week only Thursday looks dry so we're hoping we can have a load of logs delivered .

Anng hope this chap can sort out your loft door for you .

Morning Island how are you .

Happy birthday Mel. Wishing you a hearty day :-D xx

Good morning all, quite a nice looking morning and 6 degrees. I have my friend bringing her DIY man round later to see what can be done about the loft door. I already have a load of washing in and showered and hair washed so ahead of myself

Ann I hope your OH is not too stiff and sore this morning not good to fall on his back. Perhaps that will make him sort out something for the patio. BBL

OH's day got worse Vera! I told him off for going to the garage in his slippers and paddling mess into the conservatory, so next trip he put his clogs on and slipped and fell on the patio and hurt his back and skinned his knee!!!! I shall be glad when we decide what to do about the patio as the smooth indian stone seems lethal in the wet and frost. Your OH sounds just like mine when you press him about something he sounds adamant about! lol.

Well a trifle treat I ordered for Valentines Day was missing in the delivery, so I got a refund on that and on the cucumber we didn't want. When OH pointed out our bags for the driver to use she laughed and said 'that's a new one on me' and proceeded to just dump their trays down on the ground. The cheeky so and so, as it's in the instructions on the order to use them as well and the other drivers do it so I shall complain when they ask for feedback. Mel these subs are ok to a point but we got a huge bag of mixed salad leaves we will never manage to eat before they go off and they take up so much shelf room in the fridge. I only order the small packs I know we will manage to eat and will fit in the fridge with everything else. We like the Bird's Eye Petit Pois too. It sounds like your project will be a building of some sort?

Mandy, the friend is home from hospital now and she loves the fingerless gloves! She loves owls anyway and says she has been wearing them already in the evenings to snuggle down and be cosy wihile watching tv. She has her partner's funeral on Wednesday, but I wonder if she will be up to it really as she is very tired and needing help to wash and dress at the moment.

Ann when you said you had two cues it made me think I ordered peti pois pease bird eye the other week and they sent me two packs of asda ones they should last us about two years I should think nd if I don't like them the chickens will get them over a period of time.

I wonder if I will get another of those strange little eggs tomorrow? I'll let you know.

Right Iv'e had a coffee and now I am going back to my window frame.

I am doing craft and trying to help Anng with the jigsaw too! I am making a window frame at the mo.

My computer doesn’t seem to show the weather any more. I wonder if that’s something that went when we upgraded to Windows 11. I’ve got the BBC weather app on my iPad and that’s telling me it’s 8 degrees but feels like 5 and that it’s raining and breezy. Looking out of the window is just as good lol.

That jigsaw looks a bit of a beast AnnG but plod on with it a bit at a time. Think what a sense of achievement you’ll have when you finish it.

I hope your OH’s bad head and back are easing now Ann. He has my sympathy. Has your delivery arrived yet? I must get my next slot booked. I think I’ve said that I have a fortnightly delivery and alternate Sainsbury and Tesco. It’s Tesco next time and they get booked up more quickly than the other supermarkets so I need to grab my slot. That’s my next job then.

I had to laugh at that diddy little egg Mel. The chuck probably didn’t even notice that one being laid. Getting dinner cooked for you tomorrow will be good. I hope you enjoy it. My OH isn’t a bad cook but he also seems to use twice as many pans and dishes as necessary and the kitchen practically needs spring cleaning when he has finished.

I think I told you I had to ask OH where he had put all the pot saucers. He said they were at the back of my mini greenhouse. No, they’re not. When he sorted out the garage he took a lot of stuff to the tip, including a load of flower pots. I reckon he dumped the pot saucers as well. At first he was adamant that he hadn’t dumped them, then he was fairly sure he hadn’t, now we’ve got to “I can’t remember taking them to the tip”. What would you do with him?

We’ve had our Sunday roast (chicken today) so, apart from booking a Tesco slot, I am doing nothing for the rest of the day.

Afternoon All,

It's been pouring with rain here and 7 degrees. If you click on the umbrella it will show you the temperature at the top on the right. OH had a migraine last night and has a headache today. He also twisted his back putting my suitcase in the loft so isn't a happy bunny. Not a good day to be getting the food delivery. Six subs as well and all looked to be in stock last night and this morning. Four alternatives with the Avocado so why send an extra cue instead, having already ordered one? No chocolate eclairs so why no sub sent?

It's a 16 year old flat tv Mandy, so not desireable and fiddly to take as it's screwed to the wall, so I might have thought a burglar couldn't grab it quickly and would be put off by it's age as well. It isn't hidden there though now I've looked! I bet Max will be fast asleep the rest of the day now he's worn out.

AnnG, the jigsaw looks quite easy with the dog, but it does look tricky when you see it closely. I found myself trying to fit the loose pieces with no success! You do need good light as you say.

How nice of your OH to cook you a lovely roast dinner for your birthday Mel! :-D You will be able to put your feet up and enjoy your pressies! :-D A box of those big eggs would have to be labelled 'enormous'.

All ready for the food now and I've wiped the fridge out ready as well. It has almost stopped raining, but we'll put the bags out nearer the time.

I had another £75 from ERNIE this month so might treat myself to some paints or brushes this time.

I was looking at the new floor mop by Karcher this morning. It is cordless and has microfibre rollers that spin that you can slip out and wash in the machine.

My T shirt from Terry has arrived, plus plus 2 photos of him and his 17 year old daughter Elsie and 2 pens! He is in Wales for half term and hoping to find some churches with pianos or pipe organs that are open so he can do some videos.

I shall keep going Mel.

Well I think you have done well to get as far as you have with the jigsaw Anng.

He is a good cook Mandy as he used to cook the dinners for all the firefighter at the station when the cook was away. The thing is he will keep asking me where things are and get out all sorts of pots and pans and have a mountain of washing up.

Sent a pic

You will enjoy the meal all the more for not having cooked it Mel.

Mandy, no not tempret, I must admit it is even more difficult today. With it not having stopped raining since early and being very dark there is no natural light getting into the dining room and as the jigsaw pieces are quite glossy it is really hard to tall the different shades of wood. No Not tempted to give up Mandy. Somebody must have been able to do it so no reason why I can't. I am stubborn as well. If it becomes useless I will maybe give up then but I will keep going at the moment.

I will send a photo of the puzzle so far.
