Hi All, rain this morning, sun out now, well done Lindy, hope you enjoyed your lie-in DOND#. I couldn't post yesterday, they kept failing. Glad you got the grass cut Muggy, my other half cut two lawns yesterday for needy friends. Is your mum more settled? I hope so. Hope you all have a nice day and evening.

Hi anne. Actually I didn't get the grass cut anne, as it was too wet. Hoping to get it done either today or tomorrow, again depending upon the weather. Mum is not still not completely settled but seems to be happier than she was when she first moved in. She's not used to country life and misses all the shops in the town where she lived before. However, although I took her to the bus stop yesterday as she had a chiropody appointment - she actually managed to catch the bus back and get to her bungalow on her own (she told me which bus she would be on but I decided not to meet her this time as thought she needed to get there on her own). The previous times she's been to town, I've have actually met her at the bus stop (good job as I found her going the wrong way the second time and don't know where she would have ended up!).
I think it will be better when we get her previous flat sold (think we've got a buyer, a property developer - just haggling over the price at the moment) as she wants to go back there all the time. When it's sold, it will take the temptation away for her.
Anyway, must close, I've got loads to do. Weather looking quite reasonable at the moment but not sure if it will hold. Have a nice weekend and take care.

Morning everyone. I think I would have been furious if either of my sons had come home with their eyebrows pierced Posh Paws. I know one of them wanted to have his ear pierced but knew that I would not be too pleased about it and he resisted the urge. He's now 30 so don't think he'll bother!
Hope you all have a great day and that the weather is kind. Take care.

Morning rosebud. Think I'll have to change my tipple! Take care.

Morning all, weather reasonable here so have decided to go to our caravan for a few days, I dread the first time as we have to take everything like bedding, clothes and food, sure to forget something. Will still be watching DOND there, have a good weekend, hope the weather holds out as forecast, at least until Sunday.

Bacardi and coke is a "treat" for me in the winter, change it to G&T in summer, I still lost weight on it Muggy so have to believe in it, have a good day, don't work too hard.

Morning everyone
Not sunny here but breezy so washing is blowing away on line. Just come back from weekly Tesco trip and the shopping is still in the car boot and I've logged on here instead of putting it away. Muggy your mum seems to be settling and gaining more independence bit by bit, that must be a relief for you. Rosebud, enjoy your weekend at the caravan, where is it?

Oh dear. What on earth do you do when your teenager does something like that? My 14 yr old daughter wants her lips pierced but I've said absolutely not. I don't know what I'll do if she goes against my wishes. Has he just been sent home for one day? That will make you even more stressed at work - are you there tonight? I work part-time as a clerical officer. I hate it at the moment as the boss is quite a bully. I've applied for another job within walking distance from home, so I've got my fingers and toes crossed.

Hi Peggy, my son went back to school yesterday afternoon with the piercing removed and when he tried to put it back in later the hole had already closed up, so basically he's got to waste another £30 if he wants to have it redone after his exams. They won't be told will they? Good luck with your job application, keep us informed.

Hi Muggy,rosebud,linz,Peggy and Posh, hope everyone is well. Have a lovely time at your caravan rosebud. Posh, maybe your son will give up now if it costs £30 every time. Ooh just thought, lie in tomorrow. Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Hi Posh, Lindy, Linz and everybody.
I got the shopping put away linz, but I think the ice cream was a bit sloppy!
Posh, as Lindy says, your son might not want to waste £30 - here's hoping. You are right about not being able to tell them anything. My 14 yr old knows more than me and her dad put together! I will certainly keep you informed about the job, thanks for the interest. Hoping your work stress eases soon.
Lindy I LOVE my Saturday lie in, it's the best morning of the week!
Hope you all have a lovely, relaxing weekend.

Hi Everone, just popped in to say goodnight. I've had a busy day, up early for gas yearly service, then the shopping trip to Tesco. Partner needs a new mobile phone Asda were selling some at £5 but they had all gone. Muggy, glad mum is more settled and hope the house is soon sold. Hope you all have a good weekend if going away or staying put. Bye Bye

Good morning everyone. Just a quickie as I'm going to the Metro centre with my daughter to spend her birthday money. Have a lovely day. By the way the weather is chilly and dull.

Morning everyone. It's not a nice day at all here,in fact it's starting to rain - just right for going to the Metro Centre, Lindy. Hope your daughter has a good time spending her money, and hope you don't both come home with sore feet!

Morning all. It's a beautiful day today here. Going to Windsor to do some shopping with my Sister and then a walk along the river.

That sounds nice Hemlockharry. Rain here this morning, lovely sunshine now. Watching footie Man U v Chelsea. Hope you all have a good weekend.

Afternoon everyone. Beautiful day here in N Lincolnshire. Anne, I've actually got both the back and front lawns cut today - Hoorah! Although I say it myself, they look good!
Went to a local Farmers' Market and Garden Centre this morning with my mother-in-law - thought she had better get a look-in as my husband and I have done so much and spent so much time with my Mum lately, that we felt a bit sorry for her. She's a very independent 88 year old who is usually out with her dog at about 6.00 in the morning and manages extremely well but she certainly deserves a little treat now and again.
I feel absolutely shattered now and am going to have a shower shortly to freshen myself up a bit.
Hope you all enjoy DOND today and that the contestant goes away with a reasonable amount and that you all have a great weekend.
Take care.

Oops. Sorry, anne, I forgot to tell you that we've sold Mum's flat to a chap who does a bit of property developing and that he's also going to pay Mum's legal expenses. The only down side is that it's a few thousand less than we would have expected but it's so much easier this way without all the hassle of getting valuations, estate agents fees, solicitors, etc. Isn't she lucky? I don't think she realises how much! Take care and enjoy your weekend.

Hi everyone I like hearing how you all spend your Saturdays. Harry, lovely day for a walk along the river. Lindy, nothing like a bit of retail therapy, might indulge in some myself tomorrow. Anne, hope you enjoyed the football. Muggy, well done for mowing the lawns. Peggy, well done for, er,.....watching TV!

It's sunny in Birmingham but so cold
I had a lazy day, just did some work in the morning and then just played games, I am going to go for a walk around the block with some friends later as it's going to be get really sunny! Then have a good game of cricket! After DOND though

I think, I like this avatar better. I like having an avatar that no-one else has

Hi Ussie, I was going to ask why you've changed your piccy, then I read the above post. Is it to show that you've progressed on to drinking cups of tea/coffee instead of eating burgers?

Maybe! I am drinking tea at the moment! Going to play cricket, excellent weather. Its been a long time since someones called me Ussie now!
Is your son getting early study leave?
Anyway, how have you been Posh Paws?

Hi Sleezy Dippin Honker (brill name) how are you?
