Good morning -'tis Friday! Waiting for my two littlest grandchildren to be delivered to me - wonder what we can find to do today - such a shame that the weather is so awful, tipping down here. Have a lovely weekend x

I am so chuffed! Have said before that I think your granddaughter is my sort of girl!

I think it's Thursday today louby! Have my two littlest grandchildren coming for the day today

Sounds good to me young Froglet! 👍 Of course no one needs reports or planning 🤣 Oh and I do love a cardi

Thank goodness for that x

Oh bother! Have you got a plan to ensure some time for you?

Yay! Is it a one or two week break for you?

I enjoyed a very entertaining hour or so with one of my lovely daughters-in-law this morning - I had asked her to help me with an online passport renewal - the idea was that she would take a photo - honestly, about 25 photos in we finally got one that was accepted 🤦‍♀️🤣

That is absolutely b***dy awful - I am cross and frustrated on your behalf - what don't they understand about 'urgent'

Good morning - 'tis Friday! Hope everyone is okay? Happy half-term - wow just one more term to go - amazing... Still haven't got a confirmed figure for last weekend's fundraising - but it's going to be an impressive amount - go us! We are off to a big Garden Show on Monday - hope the weather is kind to us. Have a lovely weekend all x

...and I'm done - what a fabulous weekend - I am sure that we have made lots of money - yay! I have so enjoyed chatting with our customers, including a pretty bizarre conversation with an elderly lady who has moved away from the village but was back visiting her daughter and granddaughters - we did all the usual "lovely to see you, you look well" and then the following: Her: I was looking through some old photos and came across one of you Me: Oh good heavens, destroy it immediately! 🤣 Her: I will not, it is a lovely photo of you. Me: Hmmm, thank you, when was it taken? Her: When we all went to visit the war graves. Me: Oh, it can't be me, I didn't go on that trip. Her: It is you and it was definitely the war graves visit. Me: But... Then I thought I would just give in 🤦‍♀️🤣 although I am quite fascinated by this - can't be me on that trip, I really wasn't there! 🤣

One day down and one to go - we were super busy so hopefully lots of monies raised - my feet are killing me but aside from that it was a fun day - Mr S has just volunteered to get fish and chips for tea - excellent idea!

Good morning - 'tis Friday How is everyone? Send me some strength and good weather vibes for the weekend please - big two day fundraiser for Cancer research - I will be there in my pinny serving coffee and cakes! Hope the weekend is kind to all x

Thinking of you both and sending much love your way xxx

Good morning - 'tis Friday Not just any old Friday - today is Cait's birthday - happy birthday lovely lady xxx Hope that everyone is okay? Enjoying some lovely weather here! Have a lovely weekend x

Oh my life 😲

We have the most beautiful ancient woodland here in our little village - the bluebells are spectacular. In other news - we were treated by youngest son to a pub lunch today!

How very rude

Oh zigzag - what an enormous relief for you xxx

Good morning - 'tis Friday Another week has just gone 'whoosh' Flippin' raining again - although we have had a couple of better days this week. Hope that everyone is okay? Have a lovely weekend x

😂 That made me smile young Froglet - you should know that 'the Friday gang' are always going to have a lot to say for ourselves! I know that I have already blotted my copybook on the rescue front - but thinking about - it I don't think that any 'decent' rescue outfit would consider you a suitable adopter simply because of your working hours 🤷‍♀️ that said, my brother has a retired rescue greyhound who really couldn't care less if he has to be 'home alone'...when he took him on I said "crikey, won't he need endless long walks" but apparently not 🤷‍♀️ he is incredibly laid back (the greyhound, not my brother) and sleeps a good 20 hours per day, he seems to be okay with children but I know my brother would never leave him alone with any visiting grandchildren. Woe betide you if when walking him he sees anything 'small and fluffy', including cats, obviously he has been trained to chase such beings! Anyway, good luck with your decision making, please let us know how it goes x

Hmmm - I feel a bit bad now about my comment on 'rescues' - based I think, on my late sister-in-laws rescue dogs - they were such difficult dogs - one of them caused her daughter-in-law to never leave her children at the house as he really couldn't be trusted...much as I love dogs they would never come before my grandchildren.

I am back with my pros and cons of dog ownership! Pros - oh my actual goodness dogs are wonderful, there is nothing like the love and devotion that they give to you, they make you smile when you least feel like it. They also make you get out of the house whether you want to or not, does that sound like a good thing - I think it is! Cons - they are quite expensive to run 😂 especially if you have to factor in any sort of day care. They poo - one of the worst jobs in my thinking is picking it up but of course you have to! You have to consider them when making any plans. Hair - the beautiful Goldie that we have with us now sheds so much! Training - you need to get on top of that and it can be challenging! Worst of all - they die - I am still not fully recovered from the loss of my last dog, I really mean that, she died some twenty years ago - she was really young, just nine, poor darling had cancer and vet had to 'let her go' on the operating table so we didn't even get to be with her as she passed... What size are you thinking about - something quite small? Are you thinking puppy - how are you going to identify a good breeder? Are you thinking rescue - good luck - Cait has a super little rescue and there must be many more lovely little dogs out there looking for a good home - but not something I would consider - I need to train and make them as 'bombproof' as possible especially around children. Does that help at all?

Good morning - 'tis Friday! How is everyone - I remember the summer terms with such fondness - although acknowledge that they were so very busy from an admin viewpoint... Did someone mention granddogs 🐶 we have two here with us just now - our two 'big boys' - one choc lab and one golden retriever - they are looking at me now and I know what they are thinking something along the lines of 'c'mon you are dressed now so when are you going to take us out' - so that's what I am off to do now! Young froglet I will be back later with some pros and cons of dog ownership...most obvious question is 'what will happen when you are at school, have you investigated doggy daycare'? Anyway, as I said, I can't keep 'the boys' waiting any longer! 😂 Happy weekend all x

Good morning - 'tis Friday (again!) Have just been stalking zigzag via her profile to try and find out which day is her birthday - no luck with that so I will just say: Happy birthday dear zigzag for the coming week - hope that you have a very special day xxx Also a belated happy birthday to Gezabel! xxx Hope that everyone is okay and that the summer term has got off to a good start for those still working. Can I get through a Friday post without moaning about the weather - no - fed up with rain and wind now - enough already! Have a lovely weekend x
