General Chat

Afternoon all, whole house done and now going to sit down with my feet up for a while. DET I don't know where the energy came from but a good dose of painkiller got me through the morning :-D

I was being prescribed strong dosages of Codeine for the pain in my leg.
It was partially effective but made me constipated.
I stopped taking the Codeine, would rather endure the pain than be unable to move my bowels causing a different pain. :-0

I'm on double doses of double strength Codeine at the moment. :-|

afternoon all
well true to form its raining again I have got in at reasonable time there would have been time to do my grass now lol
My shift was good I had an extremely hot flush this morning when I was visited by the boys in blue who are dealing with an on going situation in our place that's just say I was quite overcome one was huge Geoff Capes stature .no messing with him I tell you he is so gentle with our in mates too .

If you are going to be on Codeine for a while you want to also take Sennacot

Hello MAZ, a hot flush eh? you'll have LG coming out in sympathy :-D :-D

Yet another failure to call me out when you have the boys in blue in attendance, Maz :-D :-D :-D :-D

Rain here, I'm afraid and forecast for tomorrow as well. Has anyone got any sheep or goats that I can borrow :-D :-D :-D :-D

Let's hope the weather is ok then for Tuesday, DET :-)

LG, well done with the housework. Mine is waiting for you ;-) ;-) Saturday tomorrow and I have to be up at blessed o'clock because the gas engineer will be calling anytime between 8am and 12noon. Knowing my luck I will get up at 6.30 to make sure I am presentable and in my right mind and he won't turn up until 12 :-0 :-0 :-0 If that's the case, I shall stay in bed until 12 on Sunday :-D :-D :-D

Evening all. YG you missed out again ;-) :-D :-D :-D.
David I don't need more meds I rattle as it is :-D :-D :-D :-D.
It is supposed to rain for a few days here so grass will have to wait. I will maybe thin a few seedlings out in the greenhouse but that's about it

My Father used to say Constipated?? it's a good chit you want

Evening LG :-)

Shake, rattle and roll :-D :-D :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D. YG. I always say if you don't see me you certainly hear me. :-D :-D

Morning everyone :-)

It has snowed overnight, but all disappeared now and the sun is shining at the moment. A race against time to get the washing dry before the rain comes again :-D

The gas engineer has just left, so I have the rest of the day to myself now :-)

Mornng all

YG, the covering of white must have been a shock when you opened the curtains! I wonder if Frog has got snowed in ;-)
Yesterday's weather map suggested it might even reach as far south as the Bristol area. Can anyone remember if we've had it this late in the year? It's certainly Topsy Turvey.

You may not have got your lie-in, but at least the engineer came early enough to get out and about.

J went for an interview the other day and got the job :-D it'll be 3 days a week from September. Although we've said we'll help out if A has spots or something, we'd rather not be tied down to a regular childminding schedule. We may not go away very often, but we can if we wanted to.

Morning DET :-)

Congratulations to J!! Well done!

I think you are right, DET. They are very tiring and time consuming. I still find the youngest one at 10 years of age wears me out with constant chatter and wanting to do things. I can't remember whether I was like that at that age :-D :-D :-D

Morning all, Childminding I miss it. :-(. I am a big kid myself hence I have always worked with them. :-D :-D :-D. Well done to J I hope all works out well for her.

White stuff :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0. OH won't be a happy bunny as he is racing in Stoke today and if it snows I will here the language down here :-D :-D :-D :-D.

I have been out in the greenhouse and potted up loads of plug plants that arrived but it was too cold to stay out any longer so now sitting here in the warm with a cup of hot coffee.

Mornng LG.

Not to worry - its supposed to warm up again tomorrow ;-)
No doubt OH will be glued to the snooker during the day. He'd started to have a garage clear out but the chill will put him off once he sticks his nose outdoors!

It's not potential tiredness which puts us off regular child-minding. After 24+ years of working around school hours/holidays plus of course my own work in schools, we value being able to go out for the day when we please & taking holidays in the 'off' season when its cheaper. Even more so now that OH doesn't have a fulltime job. We may be considerate with the exam timetable, but even then we can turn down work if we've other plans.

For some reason Ancestry is showing that my account renewed overnight. Now that's strange as the linked CC is out of date & the new one has a totally different number. I'll be v cross if the CC co has honoured it! Shall I make hay until they realise or have a hissy-fit?

Added - had a look at the CC on-line statement. Nothing from Ancestry shown as charged, and no transactions pending. Ancestry will probably catch up with itself in a few hours.

afternoon all
YG he was MMMM! any way I am composed again I went to another site to work Yesterday and my colleague said why was I not there lol .
well its an awful day here I have just been shopping to the local shop with Froggy and we are having lunch shortly .its warm when its not snowing and hailstones .My garden is doing well
My Dau A is 30 tomorrow how old do i feel lol

It comes to us all Maz & you're only as old (or young!) as you feel. ;-) :-D
Happy birthday to her for tomorrow.

Hope you've warmed up now after your litttle trip to the corner shop.

As OH decided it was too chilly to work in the garage we went off to the Mall for coffee and a mooch. While we were there they had a partial power cut affecting about a 3rd of the shops. No working escalators or lifts in that section.
Thankfully M&S had in-built emergency lighting as that's a major exit to one of the car parks. Even they were dark. Wouldn't like to have been there if it was night-time. As it was, there was enough daylight filtering in from the open sides to see where you were going.
I bet the retailers will be grumbling as they had to close.

hi DET at least the lighting worked on emergency .,our corner shops are Aldi and iceland then there is a retail park in walking distance too .

Evening everyone :-)

After a mix of showers, sun and cold temperatures, it finally was a lovely late afternoon.

Washing dry, but another load to do tomorrow when the weather is supposed to be better, so perhaps the grass might get a trim :-0

Maz, happy birthday to your daughter for tomorrow. I hope she has a lovely day :-)

DET, did you take Sweet Pea with you to the Mall? :-D

Very strange about your subs for Ancestry. I am sure they will pick up the error at some point. If not, enjoy a free year ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

LG, I don't think your OH will have met up with much snow. Let's hope he is a happy bunny when he gets home ;-)

Evening all, Happy Birthday to your daughter Maz. Don't feel old my eldest is 46 this year :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0.

OH is on his way home so I will have to see what mood he is in when he gets here
;-)
