I’m good with mud, not so much with running. I have, though, just planned out the 50th year temperature blanket I intend to make. I have been pondering a list of 12 bakes I’ve never made before… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted October 20, 2022 Author Share Posted October 20, 2022 Oh my actual goodness! I just sent a text message to a friend: Thank you for the lovely card. Another year older and deeper in debt She has just sent a reply and is clearly very concerned about my finances - i have had to reassure her that I am not really in debt and that is just an old saying Told Mr S about and he has never heard of that saying - crikey - did I just make it up - I don't think so 🤷♀️ Someone please tell me that you have heard that before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do I - my lovely mum had some great sayings - she used 'once in a flood' instead of 'once in a blue moon' and loads more - in fact thinking about it she is probably responsible for 'another year older and deeper in debt' - I did feel pretty awful that my friend thought I was being serious 🤦♀️ My mum never learned to drive but that didn't stop her having lots of advice for drivers - particularly those that she deemed to be driving too fast 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 Good morning - 'tis Friday Must be half-term break for all? I've just had a mega frustrating hour - went down to the next village to post our latest Knit and Natter efforts to Knit for Peace (we no longer have a PO here) and to collect repeat prescriptions for Mr S... Having lugged the huge parcel to the Post Office I find a note on the door reading 'closed due to illness' - okay lug the parcel back to the car Next stop pharmacy - they came out with the smallest bag - I said "oh no, that's not right, he has a big prescription on order" - honestly, this happens with great regularity - to make matters worse they speak to me as though I came down in the last shower of rain grrrr Guess where I will be going on Monday 🤦♀️ never mind far worse happens at sea! Happy half-term for those lucky enough to get a break now Hope that everyone has a lovely weekend x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Well I've had a mega stressful week -this site stopped working on my laptop!😮😮😮 I think i have to update my browers.... i'm very much of the 'if it isan't broke don't fix' kinda person 🙄 I've been getting reminders for weeks possibly even a year or more that i need to update something! Anyway, after checking on my phone that the site did actually still work, i have managed to get it back on the laptop via an atlernative method. (I have noticed though that the auto correct doesnt work this way, and trying to type with a cat sprealled across you does make for a fair few mistakes !!) Last dance class today 🙁 My friend and i have decided we will walk into the town 4.5 miles for breakfast every other week instead. Nothing much planned for the half-term week- boob squash and pumpkin picking, that's about it. So a nice relaxing week. I even have my normal two childcare days off as my daughter and her partner have the week off too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
