It's Friday!

[zigzag]

Hi all. Nothing exciting here either this week. Although blessed with some lovely weather. Just off to take the car in for an MOT and that’s about as exciting as it gets!  Am going out for roast on Sunday though. 
Have a lovely weekend all.

Phew - I am back - highly 'cream crackered'! 🤣

Haven't got a total yet but everything crossed that we have done well again...

Shed (bloody) shed is half built and apparently our sons will be here again on Sunday.

Young froglet I used to love 'doing' autumn with my pre-schoolers - lots of conker and leaf collecting amongst other things - happy days

I am baby-sitting tomorrow evening, but nothing else planned for the weekend

Zigzag - I am loving this weather too - aren't we lucky.

Have a great weekend all x

I am back again!

Our final total ... drumroll ... £1752.70 can you believe that - I have to note that we already had £600 in hand, this had been raised by one of my dear friends who has been selling her diamond art cards throughout the year...

To say that I am thrilled would be an understatement - honestly people are so very generous 🧡

That’s a fantastic total! Congratulations to you all

Well done Sunnyday. Xx

Good morning - 'tis Friday!

Busy week here - poor Mr S has had a few medical appointments - including a visit to an optician yesterday afternoon...he has had a sore eye for several weeks and has tried all sorts of drops etc...I finally convinced him that he needed to see someone about it (other than the two pharmacists that he had already tried) - anyway long story short - it was eyelashes on his lower eyelid that were growing 'the wrong way' and scratching his eye - the optician plucked them all out - ouch! Apparently they will just regrow and he has/will be referred to an eye hospital for some sort of procedure - ouch again!

We both have flu jabs tomorrow - not sure if he will also get a Covid one - oh the joys of getting old!

Shedgate saga continues - much more building still to be done - youngest son is coming tomorrow morning (eldest son is going axe-throwing as you do🤣)

Someone has donated another £10.00 to the Macmillan fund and we still have the payments made through the QR code to be added to our final total - we are all feeling very pleased with ourselves!

Hope everyone is okay - how is your lovely mum this week zigzag?

Happy weekend all x

Quietish week here. My dad has asked me to shorten some trousers for him, I’m finally feeling like I’m seeing progress on the cross stitch I’m doing by. I tried out some Bakewell cookies which were good - I may eat far too many!

Just about to do a little school work and other jobs. I have a bit of a sore throat today so am ‘nursing’ that in the hopes it doesn’t get worse before I’m back in school.

 

Have a good weekend all.

The usual week here. Monday had my grandson for the day (best day of the week) then picked him up from nursery at lunchtime on Wednesday and had him for a couple of hours. Work is the usual but slowing up a bit now on the changeovers which is a welcome relief!  Mum is doing ok, mood has been good this week! Back to all her clubs and groups which has helped enormously. No change in the face of the eye but is now drinking without having to use a straw which is great progress. 
Have done some lovely dog walks in this gorgeous weather this week, long may it continue. 
Poor mr S! Tell him to sort himself out and get normal growing eye lashes! Hope his eye recovers quickly!  My husbands refusing ti have his flu jab as is convinced he will be poorly for two weeks afterwards. Trying to persuade him that they offer it to his age group for a reason and he’s damn lucky to be offered it! Watch this space…

Have a great weekend all. Xx

Oh Mr zigzag - please get your flu jab (you complete numpty🤣)

Our local hospital declared a 'Critical Incident' this week as there were absolutely no empty beds, one of the biggest issues was flu, apparently flu season has come early.

Couldn’t agree with you more! I will tell him.

Hi All,

Sunnyday - my daughter's friend had the eye-lash issue, she had the eye procedure and all good now.

Froglet - you've achieved well this week!

I seem to have been busy all week, but I can't remember what with- other than that I made tomato soup!

Flu jab tomorrow, that's about how exciting my weekend plans are 😂

Took me about 6 hours to actually post my weekly update, and I missed Zigzags!!

So good to hear that your mum's health is now going in the right direction. xxx
