Lounge done :-D :-D I'm whacked now :-D :-D

I've had plenty of relaxation time in between jobs, so it hasn't been too bad.

R&M are taking me shopping one weekend. Probably around 16th as they only arrive home this weekend so there will be catching up to do to get back to work and school. I know that they are taking the girls to see Little Mix on 23rd, so that weekend is out and it doesn't leave many .....eeeeekkkkkk :-D

What a lovely day it has been here today. I was going to cut the front grass, but they forecast rain and it started to cloud over, but it is lovely again now and I am too tired to do it :-D :-D There's always tomorrow :-)

It might be fish'n'chip night tonight!! I have scampi in the freezer but the smell goes all through the house, so avoiding it like the plague while everything smells lovely and fresh :-D :-D

Evening all, just back from WW. It is quite chilly out this evening after it being such a warm day

Hi LG.

Clear skies today, so another hard frost tonight for us and you by the sounds of it. We had a keen frost this morning and it is chilly here again now.

Any more weight gone??

LaGooner

Evening YG. Yes another pound gone today thank goodness. I had stayed the same for 3 weeks and was all for going on a binge because I was disgruntled ;-) :-D :-D :-D

I was actually quite shocked but pleased as I had a huge roast dinner at the weekend :-0

That just proves that it doesn't always make a difference!!

It probably would have done if I had not got on with a lot of gardening which I forced myself to do :-D :-D

It's self defeating putting yourself down. Why do your opponents job for him?

I received the forms ref a blue disability badge in the lunch time post.
I'm going to need a photograph,
It asks questions pertaining to a car I haven't bought yet.
Will have to send a covering letter.

Morning all. Just finishing brekkie then off upstairs to face the unmentionables. Bedding is already in the machine but it's looking a bit cloudy outside so not sure whether It's line or drier. :-S

Morning all

My, you are ahead of yourself LG. I'm still on my first coffee!
Well done on the weight loss.

YG, have you finished with your spring cleaning now?

David, there were mutterings about linking the blue badges to specific registration numbers, but I think that was discarded. They realised it wouldn't work if the non car owning badge holder was taken out be a number of different relatives or even neighbours.
See if your lady what does can take a photo of you on her phone, then email it to you. Then you can crop it to fit and use your photo suite to print off at the correct size.
Our council suggested that is often a work-around for the elderly who can't be taken out to a photo booth.

Not sure if we are doing anything. There was mutterings about inviting J & A for a walk.

Morning everyone :-)

A bit chilly here, but the sun is coming out!!

I have finished all the spring cleaning. A couple of bits of ironing and I will be going back to work with an empty ironing basket and not a speck of dust anywhere :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

DET, enjoy your walk if you go. I am hoping to get some exercise by cutting the grass :-) Nails done this afternoon, so an easy day hopefully :-)

Would you believe that National Grid have been here again this week digging up the pavement and dropped kerb that they only renewed about 5 weeks ago! They have been back this morning and filled in the huge holes but we are now waiting for the paving slabs to be put back and the dropped kerb asphalted again :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(
This is the 3rd time in 6 months :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0

They're only doing it as they enjoy your admiring glances YG ;-)
Did you get a chance to ask them what the problem was?
Hope the manicurist was able to 'save' your broken nail. You can't possssibly do any gardening now :-D

We didn't go for a walk. OH forgot that schedules involving babes-in-arms aren't as flexible as wrinklies. Instead we went to the Mall, not only for coffee but also to get a b'day pressie. As we're getting no where fast on deciding on a holiday destination, we popped into T.Cooks. They don't hand out brochures anymore;that particular shop does everything on-line :-0

I am in lol now have some chores to do ,as i am in the weekend,no uniform needed last night it was a close call however but the need was diverted.I have some admin to do tonight as well as washing lol and what shall i have for tea is also the burning question too .

Glad your home safely Maz. Would the close call have involved the Boys in Blue? Good to hear you were able to diffuse the situation.
I'm surprised you have to wear a uniform in this day and age. It's not the done thing on PCs unit as it draws attention to their patients/clients when they are out in the community. They even have to hide their ID badges when they're out with them!

Hope you can find something tasty for dinner. Not sure what we will be having, possibly something with cold pork. We had it roasted yesterday with all the trimmings :-D

YG Report 1 Apr 2016 17:43

I'm sitting here wondering what to have as well, Maz :-( :-( I can't get motivated and it cannot be the fish shop tonight :-D :-D :-D :-D

DT, I didn't go out to speak to them. I suppose it will be Monday now before they relay the paving slabs, unless they turn up at 7am in the morning :-| :-| :-|
Apparently there was one that set on fire in another part of town earlier this week, which is what happened to this one originally. Maybe a few are getting ready for replacing, but as this one was replaced in the winter, it wasn't the same issue this time.

I must agree that holiday brochures are nice to sit and browse at leisure in your own home and you can always search online for some reviews of the place/hotel that you fancy.

Evening all. DET I think Maz meant the boys in blue when she was referring to uniform :-D :-D.

Well I have a spotless house all done and dusted ready for the weekend. I am going out with son's GF tomorrow so I can come back to a tidy house as OH is racing :-D :-D :-D
