Good morning Monday

Morning all

Bright and sunny here at the moment. Fingers crossed it stays that way as I'm taking mother to the hairdresser at 11.15. Hope she's in a better mood than last time, that was pretty awful and made me realise it might not be possible to take her for much longer. They do have a visiting hairdresser at the CH, but the only time she cut mother's hair she went a bit scissor crazy so it looked dreadful and took ages to grow to a decent length Oh well we'll see how things go this morning.

Safe journey to debih's Mick, and hope the dentist appointment isn't too traumatic for your Mick kaz. A darkened room sounds just the thing for you kaz

Oooh I can hear movement upstairs, think Mr.J is just surfacing. Makes a lovely change for him to be the one having a lie in

Hope you all have a good day

*Reporting in from the darkened room*

Saundra the cuppa and kit kit are just the thing to wash down my mind altering drugs

Jen I do hope your mum is ok today and her appt goes well ((((((())))))) It's great that MrJ is enjoying his retirement!!!! Here's to many more lie-ins

It's turned our to be a beautiful day and just have the floors to mop - have been a bit whizzy and Grumpy has done all the vacuuming and we have all the doors open

Kettle is on and I may just try a marshmallow chocolate thingy with my coffee

Good afternoon all. It's a very bright day with clear blue skies but that makes it so cold, it's very slippery underfoot too - I've slid all the way back from the gym
Billy's had his walk on the common, I thought it'd be quite solid over there with this frost but it's a mud bath in places. He's had a good run though so that's all that matters, we'll take him up the Chase tonight too.

Hope Millie is still doing well Deb, and that Mike's appointment wasn't too bad Kaz.

Saundra, there's a stall on the German market in Birmingham which sells the most delicious chocolate and marshmallow goodies, some plain whilst others are flavoured with mint, coffee etc - I'd send you some if they weren't so fragile

[saundra]

you mean you brought some

[JoM]

I did...but I no longer have any left
But I'm going again with John on Friday night

Good morning! I have survived the first big snowfall of the year. I drove through 3 inches of snow yesterday and
also the icy roads this morning and have survived, so I think I should be OK the rest of the year.... I hope so anyway!


My older sister and her husband flew up from Florida on Saturday to see his uncle just before he died. Looks like I've
got another funeral to go to on Saturday. This has been a really bad year for deaths in our family. I've been to four of
them myself. But it seems that everyone in my mom's family is reaching that point so I'll have to get used to it.
The hard part is that my own family will then be next in line...

Just work today and then (driving slowly) home. Happy Monday!

Hafternoon hall Been up to Sainsbury's squandering my Nectar points!!! Got some really good bargains for the freezer mostly meat so I'lll post on Bargain Betty's thread in a moment Plus I got some sparkly red tealights for my new star-shaped holders and a big red heart to hang on the door made of little jingly bells that look like cranberries - really lovely but it jingled all the way home

Elaine that's so sad, but as you say that time does come along - doesn't make it any easier though, nor does the thought that your own generation is next ((((((((((((((E)))))))))))) xxx

Mick's appt went very well, thanks for asking - the filling was painless and the new temporary crown looks great, so he's happy. He even managed the soup I made him at lunchtime
