Good morning - 'tis Friday I have come to the conclusion that we have offended 'the Gods' - first the drain problems, then a boiler breakdown and this week our hot water tank developed a leak which came through our sitting room ceiling 😧 never mind, I remind myself that all of these problems are fixable and that people would pay to have my problems! Mr S is receiving appointments for tests pre op thick and fast now - such a shame that these tests can't be coordinated and held on one day - but really just thankful that things seem to be moving for him now 🤞 My sister is still in hospital, not much more to say about that... Hope that everyone is okay - soon be half-term! 🤣 Wishing a lovely weekend to all x

Good luck from me too (and no way Jose would I have the meeting recorded) - do let us know how you get on -
Yay! A new tadpole - welcome to the world little man and huge congratulations to all x I will have to Google 'Bishop's badge' - it sounds impressive to me - congratulations to your dad Jabs were okay - the surgery were aiming to vaccinate 800 people yesterday - it is a well oiled machine and I love that all involved are so chirpy - from car park stewards (volunteers) to the indoor stewards to the vaccinators - great teamwork! Not too bad side-effects - I slept like the dead while poor Mr S had a very disturbed night - sore arms today but that's all - so glad to hopefully have some renewed protection on board

Every time you post about your granddaughter - I think 'oh I like that little girl' - she sounds right up my street - I am with her on the scissors and glue - where are they!

Hi Poppy Some great advice above What is the mum doing while she is in the setting? I wouldn't be happy if she is interacting with other children, also have you had a conversation with her about confidentiality? I wouldn't be happy if she is observing and then discussing other children with goodness knows who... I like the idea of asking if she trusts you - if not she really needs to 'move on' - kind of crazy that the child is not a 'new starter' and she still wants to be there with you Good luck with it all

Oh my weekend plans have changed! We now have flu and Covid jabs tomorrow at 12 noon - bring it on! Our surgery had made an error - we both received a text to say...use this link to book and then seconds later a further text to say don't use the link it is broken DO NOT ring the surgery we will send another link next week...the promised new link didn't materialise - anyway, long story short we are now booked in for tomorrow

Good morning - 'tis Friday! Hope everyone is okay? Touching wood as I say this but I have had a slightly better week - Mr S is feeling much better since the drop in temperature (+ steroids and anti-biotics), my sister remains in hospital, she is being very well cared for (I am enjoying not having to worry so much about her for a while), the 'borehole' work is finally finished and we seem to have fully functioning drains and have been able to get the front lawn back into some sort of order...(wish the blessed pigeons would stop eating the grass seed!) My little Knit and Natter (Stitch and Bitch) group have planned an outing (!) we are going to 'Spirit of Christmas' (oops I said the C word) at Olympia early November (please not too much Covid or I will not be able to go, need to protect Mr S) - anyway should be fun - watch out London - here we come! Weekend plans include lots of gardening, I have lots of knitted squares waiting for me to edge with a crochet border, hope to catch up with eldest son and youngest grandchildren and that will do for me - just need some 'drama' free time...(please. pretty please) Hope that everyone has a lovely weekend full of things that you enjoy x

I can't see why not

Oh Mousie I feel your pain - some of my parents were also great at losing paperwork...
-
That's so kind louby thank you x Actually had two bits of 'positive news' since my earlier post... Mr S has heard from the Royal Brompton - he is to go up on 13th November this to repeat all of the pre-op tests as the delay has been so long that the original tests are now out of date - I am just taking from that - things are actually moving and hopefully his op can and will happen 🤞 My sister is, as we speak, on her way back to hospital - that doesn't sound like good news - but it really is - such a panic with her yesterday evening which I won't bore you with - but hospital really is best place for her right now. Onwards and upwards! Oh louby what will your new hours be?
-
Good morning 'tis Friday! Hope everyone is okay and for those still working that the first week of the new term has gone well. I'm struggling to find anything positive to share about my week - so I'm working on 'things can only get better'! Hope that everyone has a lovely weekend x
-
Oh dear, this all sounds less than satisfactory to me, I'm so sorry that you find yourself in this position The 'grapes' thing beggars belief what on earth are they thinking - tell them to 'Google' Oliver Steeper - that might wake up their ideas...
-
That is brilliant louby and absolutely right - I ran myself into the ground with the idea that everything had to be done and even worse done by me - it's just not worth it - I put myself under such unnecessary pressure...
-
oh zigzag how exciting! Have you ever tried Bach's Rescue Remedy?

I can't understand who decided that using a material with a 30 year life span was a good idea in the first place 🤦♀️ My sympathies to any forum member having to deal with this- 1 reply

Oooh - a new baby how lovely young Froglet x

Good morning - 'tis Friday - another week has gone by in a flash! 1st September so 'white rabbits' one and all Hope the new term starts well for those heading back this week Have a lovely weekend x
-
Thanks both x

That sounds like great progress young Froglet although I am sorry to hear about your headache... How on earth is it the end of summer hols already Fairly okay here - could do with a 'drama' free week - not this one for sure - my sister had a total knee replacement on Friday - long story short - everything has gone a bit pear shaped - she has developed blood clots on her lungs (not for the first time, this happened January '22 and led to a heart attack) and now the blood thinners have led to her wound bleeding and she has needed two blood transfusions...thankfully she is being well cared for in hospital and they will delay her discharge which can only be a good thing. Onwards and upwards is my current mantra!

Good morning 'tis Friday Hope everyone is okay - summer has gone by in an absolute flash... We have had much excitement (and much expense) here this week - long story short - we have no mains drainage in our village so we all have tanks and soakaways...not sure why but our soakaway has given up the ghost 🤷♀️ options were - dig a new soakaway or sink a borehole - after much deliberation we have opted for the borehole...drillers have completed this - I so enjoyed watching Mr S who spent the entire time they were here (all day) leaning against their big water tank watching and chatting - he was in his absolute element - I couldn't help wondering are they thinking 'wish he would just go indoors'! 🤦♀️🤣 This coming week will be next step of digging a trench and laying a pipe to connect the tank to the borehole. The borehole cost £2,500 and the rest of the work will be something like £700 - don't mind spending money but would at least like something good to look at and enjoy 🙃 but I will settle for functioning drains! 😂 Hope that everyone has a lovely BH weekend x

Good morning - 'tis Friday Have a lovely weekend x

Good morning - 'tis Friday Nothing exciting to report from here - I am enjoying the change in the weather - perhaps we will be able to salvage a little of our summer. I'm concerned that we haven't heard from fm in ages - perhaps she just doesn't feel like joining in - I do hope she is okay... Wishing everyone a lovely weekend filled with things that you enjoy x
-
Oh don't! My wardrobes and my airing cupboard are just awful - I must take a leaf out of your book louby!
-
Well that's true - offer them to a museum 🙃🤣
