Golly, Lynda! ( I hate gloss painting, otherwise would offer to come to help!) you really are going at a lick!
thanks, Christine, I think she might have overdone stuff a bit this time, she's lost a bit of weight too......needs a bit of R&R!
goodnight hugs to you all xxx

Hello all
Gosh what busy people we all were yesterday,hope all are now rested & relaxed,i've been busy all day & am just passing through while potatoes are cooking
I notice on the photo Lynda that the male is reading the instructions while the female is doing the fitting together,bit like that in our house too
I hope you've managed to slow that daughter of yours down & made her have a rest Moomy
Talk about sand getting everywhere,it was in my handbag this morning & a load fell out of my shoes when i picked them up to put in the car,i loved the day but not the sand that came home with us
Bless you Weeble,hope the tiredness soon wears off,will be most embarasing if you nod off at work
Hope you're doing ok Gillian & there are no nasty side effects from the chemo
Did the lodgers bring you a piece of lego home Christine
Love & hugs to all

Hello,
yes, by the time son has read the instructions and is ready to start daughter in law has built the things! I have completed the small bedroom today ready for my study bed to arrive.
your tale of sand made me chuckle. I remember summer holidays in Cornwall like that. Also eating sandy pasties on the beach.
I haven't managed to download that photo, goodness knows why as the first one was fine.
moomy, hope daughter finds some time to rest.
Jasmin, how is Mick? And how are you?
Hi,
Well done Lynda you are doing so well with your decorating. Furniture looks lovely also. Mick is plodding on, went to bathroom today without realising he didn't have his oxygen, so little more improvement, I think the time together is starting to take its toll, we have been hickering most of the day - some things seem normal!!
Hi everyone I had a really nice day today. I went to my first Wayup meeting. 16 people for lunch in Birmingham and it was lovely. They were all so kind and welcoming and everyone moved round the table after lunch to make sure they chatted to all. I have hopes for more social events in the future.
Family did not bring any Lego back just themselves (that was enough!) Carol. Sand sandwiches all round then, it is horrid when gritty sand gets in your mouth eh.
Jasmin so,pleased Mick is feeling a bit better. No bickering that is not allowed, just hugs and cuddles please.
Love and hugs to all xx
So pleased you had a nice time today Christine & met some nice people,i would say there's nothing worse than sandy sandwiches but there is as our Caitlin found out yesterday,sandy knickers are very grim when your 7 made even worse when your 10 year old brother can't stop laughing at you
Hi Jasmin,how rude of me not to ask how things are with you when i passed through earlier,nice to hear things are slowly improving,we don't have bickering in our house,if Vince starts i go outside with the kittens or go to bed
Well my lovely friends i've had far too many late nights & early mornings so tonight is an early night
Sleep well all
Love & hugs to all

'sandy knickers'?????? oh dear! not too sure whether that's worse than sandy sandwiches though.....dear Carol, you do make me giggle! How are the mews?
Christine, so glad you've met some lovely people, hope you meet more!
Lynda, any moving date yet? I bet you're,even now, painting away madly!
Jasmin, hope there are no more bouts of bickering and he is gaining strength a bit.
Daughter is still struggling with tiredness, think she also isn't eating that well. She's been down, eaten and gone back to lie down - yes, I know it's latish afternoon.....I suspect she tried to work through and ignore the tiredness and it's bounced back to bite her on the bum, so to speak!
Hugs to you all xxx
Moomy
Good evening
Trust me Moomy sandy Knickers are not pleasant,your poor daughter must be exhausted with all this rushing round & emotional stuff as well,i'm sure she'll soon be feeling better after a few days with mum fussing over her
The mews are getting more adventurous by the day & have now found a way to get through the lavender & onto the graveled area outside the back door,you never know who you'll find to trip over now,the first 2 will be leaving us on saturday :-(,we will be sad to see them go but we know we can't keep them all & that they're going to a good home & will be well looked after & loved
I've just spent the afternoon filling in paperwork for the new job & have hand ache as there was loads to do,while i was there they ask if i wanted to start thursday instead of saturday,well there was a chance to make a good impression by saying yes
How are you & Mike today Jasmin,not still falling out i hope
How's the decorating going Lynda,hope you're not doing too much
Hope all are well & have had a good day
Love & hugs to all
xx
Christine im glad you enjoyed your meet. I often find it a real effort to get out of the door to go to a meet, but I always enjoy them.
jasmin, bickering is to be expected when you are both under so much pressure. It's good that Mick is feeling a bit better.
carol, the mews sound cute. It will be hard to let them go I am sure.
J came over today and did the small bedroom ceiling, so that's three rooms complete now. I have done two coats on the wall in the other bedroom, so hopefully will finished the walls and gloss in there tomorrow, just leaving me that ceiling for Js next day off. just about half way through the house now. But my arms ache, and the lymphodema is definitely a bit worse today.
Moomy, sending you and daughter a big hug. Hope she can get some rest.
gillian, how are you feeling?
Hi Folks
another warm dry day in Brum so that is good. Went for Mammogram today ouch! And also went for my first session of counselling I am relieved to say it went very well and left me feeling a lot calmer and more relaxed. I think I am at the right point to feel the benefit now. They are also arranging some counselling for my daughter with a different person so it is completely private. I do hope it will help her as well.
Kittens are getting adventurous Carol need to go to their new homes before they wander! Good Luck with the job.
Moomy hope daughter sons feels stronger.
Jasmin hope all is calm with you xxx
Lynda you are doing too much. You won't be able to relax if your arm flares up again, take a break please.
Hope you are ok Gillian, thinking of you.
love to all hope I haven't missed anyone xx
