Sunnyday Quinsy is horrible. Both myself and my son have had it. Mine got treated with a months worth of antibiotics, but it really was a horrid thing to have, especially as it was making me vomit as well. My throat is now scared from it and I quite regularly get very sore patches In my throat. Luckily they go as quickly as they come. My son ended up in A&E on a drip when he had it. Hope she soon recovers. Enjoy your lunch on Sunday, good to hear that your sister is much better. Louby Lou, this was a kit I bought in a mad moment. But I’m really more Autistic than artistic! So I don’t know who I was kidding! I’m not talented at all in handicrafts and it just looked a mess! Your offer is incredibly kind though, thank you. But I think I’ll just offload this somewhere! No plans here for the weekend except having everyone down for Sunday dinner. I do so love cooking roast for all the family. Hoping to see some sunshine but who knows! Have a lovely weekend all.

Could anyone of you Friday friends use some felting equipment? There are two felting mats, some bags of felt, felting needles etc. Happy to pop it in the In post locker and would only cost £2.59 postage.

Glad everyone has had a happy week. We’ve had nothing but biblical rain here it’s just horrendous. Our roads are literally falling apart with huge gaping pot holes and you risk your car every time you go out! (I know that’s not just down here and it’s a nation wide problem) I have a days daycare of my grandson on Monday so looking forward to that. Hope everyone has a lovely,y weekend and you get some decent weather soon. The video was my sons view from work the other day! att.aqbghD4JcFmejxl2oKyCNhH8vFLOr8zrjst9UJzfuo0.mp4

Thank you. Xx

Glad all went well Sunnyday. Froglet, chocolate and cherry scones sound delicious, do you have a recipe please? Lovely to have a dry day here yesterday (until the evening when a mini storm hit) Today is also meant to be nice so hoping to get a few jobs done in the garden. Have a lovely weekend all.
-
Yes thinking of you.

Sunnyday it does seem like bad timing to be asking that question! Talk about the hard sell! I honestly like the idea of the pure cremation idea where there’s no service or fuss but the family could then do something when they scatter ashes. I don’t want to be centre of attention in life let alone death! I don’t know if this is just my weird sense of humour that it appeals to (if it offends anyone I’m sorry) but when my Dads ashes were returned to us, the pot was In a bag for life!! Also found out that this was the case for another family member in Devon so it’s not just a Cornish thing! As I say this actually made me laugh! Hope all goes well on Thursday Sunnyday. It’s quite a responsibility and a relief when it’s over and gone well.

Morning all. It’s dodgy driving with the state of the roads, more pot hole than road in some places. Also dodgy walking the dogs, so much mud and surface water everywhere you go. We have had some lovely dry spells this week though with some sunshine at times. This photo was taken on my dog walk yesterday and I sent it to mum, who is up in Kent at the moment in the rain. Within an hour of the photo it had poured down and I was soaking! (That’s Karma for gloating)

Isn’t it funny that we all seem to be similar in that respect! Think we will have to get those balaclavas embroidered with a club logo. Maybe the not peopley people club!
-
Louby Lou, I am the least social person going. Honestly I avoid social events like the plague! Put me in a crowd or somewhere having to make small talk and I panic! As Sunnyday said, lockdown was right up my street. The great thing about cruising is you can do as much or as little of something as you want. You just pick and choose and please yourself.

We are doing a two week Mediterranean cruise. Going to Spain france and Italy. Going in April. We cruised the Norwegian fjords before and couldn’t make up our minds if we liked this kind of holiday or not. Husband wasn’t feeling 100% so that didn’t help. Anyway we decided to give it another go. So watch this space….

Saw the first snowdrops of the year this week and they did make me smile on a rainy and windy day! Just had a visit from my son and Grandson (what a special thing that is to watch your baby become a Dad and see that love develop) He is nearly five months now! Just where does the time go. Going through a slightly grumpy stage at the moment but luckily Nana has the back of getting smiles and then getting him to sleep. Am on countdown now for our cruise in April oh to see some sunshine (hopefully) Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.
-
Sunnyday have been thinking about you and Mr S. Hope you are both ok and arrangements are going smoothly. Sending love. Xx
-
Dearest Sunnyday, I’m so very sorry to hear this and send you and Mr S my condolences. I’m so glad you were both with her when she passed. It’s a very hard thing to do but am sure it was a comfort to her and will be to you both in the days to come. Much love. Xx

Froglet and Louby, do you think it’s a women thing or an age thing or both? I’ve always been a worrier even when I was younger but I can’t recall that I used to overthink everything like this. My worst time for it is from 5am every morning!
-
Oh Sunnyday am sorry to hear that. Has she hurt herself badly? Falling is such a worry at that age isn’t it. I send my best wishes. Another reminder to self to start doing some kind of strength training! Starting a weekly clean today for a new client. Was meant to be last week but after the storm that was not possible. So today’s the day. Why do I always get nervous going to a new job, it’s so daft. She Is my childhood best friends Mum as well so she has seen me grow up since I was 8! The New Year’s resolution to not overthink or get anxious about silly things has totally gone out the window (and did by the 1st Jan if I’m honest) Blooming hormones have SO much to answer for. Hope you all have a lovely weekend whatever you are doing. Sunnyday much love to you and mum in law. Xx

Our water came back on Saturday just before they delivered bottles! Then it’s been a bit intermittent as they get all the repairs sorted. But just had an automated message to say they are closing the bottled water collection points, so guess it’s all sorted now. I was prepared for the power cut but not for the water disruption! It’s the last thing you think of in a storm. But very grateful to everyone who has worked so hard to get it sorted. My son’s power has only just been restored in the last hour. So that’s such a long time to be off.
-
One tree took the hedge and the tarmac with it!
-
Wowsers! That was some weekend. Power went off at 6:30 on Thursday evening and has just been turned on at 7:30 on Sunday evening. But we also have no water since Saturday! Which is hideous. Thankfully all the family are safe and so are our houses. We have lost all our fence and lots of ceramic pots and mum lost her greenhouse but nothing else luckily. Some people had their windows blown in. A massive fir tree came down at the top of the village which was quite a sight, luckily no one hurt. It was a very frightening experience, the noise was awful, except the eye of the storm which was eerily quiet and still. Not an experience I want to repeat. Hope everyone else is safe and well.
-
Hope 2026 is a very happy and healthy year for all.
-
I am thank you. Took me a good week after being able to get out of bed before I felt ‘normal’ again. So really lost 2.5 weeks to it. Never want it again! Thank you for asking lovely Sunnyday. Xxx
-
Hope everyone had a happy Christmas. Ours was quiet but lovely. Looking forward to my son coming down for a few days now before new year.
-
I’ve been knocked out with the flu. Never had it before and NEVER want it again. I have never felt so hideously unwell in all my life. Completely knocked me flat on my back for five days. Am up and about in the house now but completely wiped out if I do anything. I hope you all stay clear of it.

Froglet that foggy feeling is awful isn’t it. I’ve suffered with this since being in peri-menopause and found that my attention span is stupidly short. I’ve decided to really cut my time on Instagram come the new year as I find myself scrolling endlessly these days, it’s really not healthy. Louby loo how lovely that your step grandson stepped in, good for him.
