    Hi Toady ๐Ÿธ

    how are you doing this evening? yes being busy is good in some ways definitely. Youโ€™re welcome about the pics and things.

    i donโ€™t always like flavoured teas that much to be honest but like you I do like The smell of them

    you wrote something a long time ago about buying a flowering plant and then it went down in value I think, Just mentioning it because it reminded me of a book about tulips a sort of historical novel called Tulip Fever by Deborah Moggach, have You come across this novel by any chance? I really enjoyed it, I read it a long time ago now but I remember it was a similar sort of theme about the price of tulip bulbs in the Netherlands but also romance and Iโ€™m not really describing it very well but it was a really good book Worth reading perhaps ๐Ÿ˜€.

    mums not too bad thanks sheโ€™s got almost all her results and They are good just two more to go which might take a while.

    sonic cat repeller thatโ€™s a bit dr who - like lol hopefully itโ€™ll repel your neighbours and the whole load of neighbours and cats will up sticks and move! Lol.

    I saw a ST Halloween episode letโ€™s say called catspaw quite a creepy cat/ cat woman predecessor really, Iโ€™ll make sure to enlist the help of a demonic pumpkin to repel all the cats supernaturally before I sleep, perhaps, good night take care. Xx

    ps 2 pics one is of course Alice -related. Xx

    Morning everyone!

    image.png

    naughty Frank Sinatra eh?!

    Joan I do hope all is well with you and Sue.....this is odd no post from you, but as Toady said sometimes we think they have posted but they haven't??? ((())) xxx

    Kitty are you online yet I wonder๐Ÿค”and if so I wonder if you have life under control enough to post yet? I shall send Sleek to see how you are I think. ((())) xxx

    Morning Reshmi. I'm glad your back isn't too bad. Thanks for asking mine is still a bit iffy and I have a sore lump on my collarbone too - very odd indeed. I think I just need a rest hopefully soon.

    My friend seems a tiny bit better I think the delusions and paranoia have eased off which is such a relief. Yes i did go yesterday and will go today, but hopefully family will come up over the weekend and we can all rest a bit.

    I am so pleased that the bloods which your Mum has back are all good๐Ÿ˜Š fingers crossed for the last one to be good too then you can breathe out.

    RR likes older women does he? Well he must do if the lady he has his eye on is 20 years older than him. Whatever floats your boat as they say! Perhaps she's got lots of money or he wants to be mothered???๐Ÿคจ

    Does he not realise that a stomach ulcer can actually kill you? I think it is kind of serious๐Ÿ˜ฎ Some people just seem to need to share their opinion where it's not wanted don't they? Too many brownies for definite๐Ÿ˜‰

    Your poor sister that must be awful being excluded from conversations in your own home. Does BIL speak Hindi? So she can at least get some information about what is going on? The boys will pick it up I bet they are so young their ears will absorb a new language just like that. I hope they are behaving and drinking their squash like good boys.

    I adore the new tea cosy! Can you imagine the work that went into that?๐Ÿ™„

    Morning Toady how are you doing today? Have you tried your sonic boom yet? Hehehe! Loggiemod's experience makes me worried it might not work๐Ÿ˜’but who knows?๐ŸคžExtra bonus if it kept the kids away๐Ÿคญ only joking but I do remember a bit back a story about sounds which can be heard by younger people not us adults they were playing them outside of shops where teenagers like to stand and chat to each other...hmmmm

    OMG OMG those were not your scones? Whose were they then? These must be yours

    image.png

    I would eat the Devonshire ones, honestly, any if they were vegan!

    The Apprentice is back from Jury service most disappointed as he spent a whole week in a room with other jurors doing NOTHING!

    Lucy is fine thank you she came over last night for tea and to see the village babies bless her. She loves her new job looking very smart in her uniform too.

    I googled the wind up radio and found a dementia one? Maybe that would be ideal for me....as for your oil filled radiator I am glad we both have one it will do as a back up let's hope we don't need it eh? Especially that we don't need ๐Ÿ•ฏ as i still haven't found mine....

    I hope teh shed roof felt is a job for the builder and not you? Yes my shed will soon need it's annual clear out oh dear me. If I had a wind up radio it could join me.....

    Better get some clothes on I think before someone knocks the door! I hope your day is good.

    A quick wave to Barbara๐Ÿ‘‹ if she calls by and to Carol too.((())) xxx

    hi toady ๐Ÿธ

    how are you today? One thing I wanted to mention on the subject of the catspaw Star Trek episode, I found a pic from it on Pinterest, My goodness thatโ€™s pretty scary I may have nightmares or even โ€œdaymaresโ€ lol. Iโ€™ll Leave it there for now will post again later. Tc xx

    Good Morning Toni ๐ŸŒบ

    how are you today?

    Yes bill does understand Hindi, heโ€™s very close to his sister and Ive Noticed that whenever he talks to her on the phone, he seems very secretive about it, my sister will ask him in an affectionate sort of way what they talked about but heโ€™s extremely vague in his replies, he seems to want to keep his clan separate from his wife etc, not sure why - maybe itโ€™s to do with the feud with his parents Im not sure.

    Anyway I donโ€™t think theyโ€™re staying for that long so thatโ€™s good ๐Ÿ‘.

    last time some of his family visited they made her eat veggie food just because they themselves were vegetarian, which seemed a bit selfish really also sheโ€™d just had LA so sheโ€™d of course been through more than enough pain really, shouldโ€™ve at least been allowed to choose her own food.

    ok your friend had some mental health issues that are better now, thats good but Iโ€™m not going to ask about her anymore now, just trying not to damage my own mental health, I know youโ€™ll understand ๐Ÿค—.

    Maybe youโ€™re right RR craves an older womanโ€™s attention, he def seems to crave it in general, Ive noticed that, he was talking real rubbish yesterday, he said health advice is that people should drink soya milk after ulcer, I politely said that Ive never heard that one before lol.

    he may well feel he needs to be mothered youโ€™ve got a point there lol.

    yes kids do indeed absorb new languages like squash soaked sponges lol.

    Glad about tea cosy, yes v intricate one, I canโ€™t even knit so I just post pics and admire from a humble distance lol.

    mum has got one more result thanks, its not actually directly related to kidney I got that wrong, but to do with effectiveness of her medicine in general, itโ€™s a good result ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

    so thank goodness for that, she said last result is related to diabetes and that usually takes some time unfortunately.

    About squash BR somehow carried a whole bottle of squash and waddled over to me saying v loudly โ€œJUICEโ€ - his caps not mine, lol - thatโ€™s what he and big bro call squash - and he got v angry when I refused to open it for him, haha, more to the story but I need to stop for now.

    im going out for lunch with parents but my stomach is slightly dodgy so will avoid dessert, nvm may lead to me being a significantly slimmer Auntie goddess mima one day, ,lol.

    bye for now Tc xx

    ps pic is more Alice related crockery. Xx

    Morning all ๐Ÿ˜Š early again must get on with some things, but it is not as nice today especially after rain, and gosh it went cold yesterday after I posted! Eek, it will be hot water bottles as well as candles and torches at this rate, oh woe. Has anyone seen those long animal shaped hotties, can't quite think how it would help surely all the hot would still be down one end ๐Ÿค”. Anyway yes the oil-filled radiator is always handy frog assuming anyone can afford the elec ๐Ÿ˜ฑ (& with the other drawback than none of my plug sockets are ever in the right place) unfortunately this place never really gets what you'd call tropical, too old & not exactly triple-glazed & insulated, I suppose the govt will make all these things mandatory one day. Those scones are still wrong by the way, you are just gaslighting me at this point aren't you and hoping I won't notice ๐Ÿ˜‚ oh well it would be rude not to eat them now so let's just do that. I'm sure you used to be able to buy small pots of extra thick cream but now supermarkets only seem to do a small single and a large everything else, who knows why. Probably Waitrose will do you one from extra special elite cows ๐Ÿ˜‰. The roof felt is going to be my job actually but it is a very small shed, we're not talking big project, will rope a friend in if I need someone to hold something. Where are all our elusive candles I wonder ๐Ÿค” I have no idea what a dementia wind-up radio could be and I'm not googling it tbh ๐Ÿ˜‚ me, a mere child. I DO remember the thing where they played high range sounds to people and I was VERY annoyed I couldn't hear them because I expected to, as I do have good hearing for which I ridiculously credit myself, as if it's my own doing somehow ๐Ÿ˜‚ but that's what I always thought about my close vision ๐Ÿ˜๏ธ. I will let you know how the sonic gadget goes ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ. Glad Lucy is getting on well ๐Ÿ˜€ have a good day xx

    Hello joan glad to see you ๐Ÿ˜Š there are all sorts of cat keeper-offer things & suggestions around but most of what I've tried so far was not much help, you really do just want the whole place barricaded off but the only really useful things would need your neighbours' co-operation ๐Ÿ™„. Have a good day, I have posted Mrs B's picture taken yesterday, they have to have another bird's help to sort out their head feathers and under their chins where they can't reach, hopefully she & Mr B will take turns preening each other. ๐Ÿฆ๏ธ xx

    Hi bosh, I can't actually remember the ST cat episode, how odd! ๐Ÿค” I must go & refresh my memory. I also can't believe I missed the obvious sonic/Doctor Who connection, of course he would have a setting for cats ๐Ÿ˜‚ the one up the road (the other way) was yowling randomly last night while I was listening to Brain of Britain on the radio, had to turn it down to check it wasn't a cat fight - then as soon as I settled down again the owl started hooting ๐Ÿฆ‰ sounded quite near but it was maybe just carrying well as it was a still clear night. I didn't know much on BoB ๐Ÿ˜ณ I knew that bubble wrap was originally designed to be wallpaper and the 'brains' didn't, but it's no substitute for knowing obscure history & science & geography ๐Ÿ˜‚. I have heard of 'Tulip Fever' but have never got around to reading it, all v interesting & the story behind it, did they film it as well? can't remember. Ooh another curious episode at the group by the sounds ๐Ÿคจ well at least RR is a source of entertainment, sort of, if he isn't giving his half-baked opinion on medical matters. Herb teas etc yes quite a few that smell nicer than the flavour, hence the half-used packets in my cupboard ๐Ÿ˜ฌ well I will have a normal cup in the lovely Drink Me china thanks ๐Ÿ˜€ although I don't really need to get any smaller, but I could always have that cupcake to follow and then get back to my own size. Hope your day is going well so far and best wishes again for your mum's tests, hope sis is bearing up :) [edit: cross-posted again, seems to be a special skill of mine ๐Ÿ˜‚ glad your mum's test was a good one and good luck with lunch๐Ÿคž) xx

    Love to Kitty and Barbara if they are online and/or posting at some point ๐Ÿ˜€

    Have a good day all xx

    Hi Toady ๐Ÿธ

    how are you this evening / night? BoB - still quite impressive really, I didnโ€™t know that about bubble wrap, yes its a question of having the right knowledge isnโ€™t it really, lol? I remember when I was doing my A levels, boring sheets of vocabulary sometimes took longer for me to memorise than the really bright girls, but Iโ€™d remember details of a lot of my English lit reading list relatively easily but annoyingly my friend just had such a flair for critique that sheโ€™d get Aโ€™s in the literature essays just by reading first and last pages of novels and relying on what was covered in class, lol, can you imagine that? Not even reading the book ๐Ÿ“•, oh well maybe she became a true megabrain later and needed to phone someone about thermostat usage, thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m hoping lol.

    The meal was nice thanks, I must admit I had a warm brownie for dessert, lol, but other options involved a lot of ice cream etc so that was the โ€œsafestโ€ choice for me, main course was fish and chips also tasty but too large portion for me, I noticed service and choice not as great as before, also slightly less clean than before, Iโ€™m always armed with tissues etc so it was ok, but disappointing that things werenโ€™t as good as previously also someone was smoking indoors, I hate that tbh.

    dad went on a sugar spree two massive fizzy drinks and a giant pudding ๐Ÿ™„ well if it keeps toddler dad quiet for 5 mins lol ๐Ÿ˜‚ .

    mums generally ok thanks just diabetes result left to wait for ๐Ÿ‘

    sis is ok thanks but BR has fever again unfortunately her sis in law is helping a lot with cooking though which is considerate of her

    Ok Iโ€™d better go for now toady , have a nice night, Tc xx

    ps more Alice crockery with 22 karat gold details because bill is paying ๐Ÿ’ท๐Ÿ’ท I โ€œborrowedโ€ his credit card - better I have it than Deliveroo, lol. Tc. Xx

    Morning everyone

    Just a quiet from me this morning with ppl.

    Am I in Stoke don't worry all is well just supporting my friends wife.

    Joan how great is that that you got some help with logging in. Makes you cross doesn't it when you can get in. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘

    Is it Suesday? If so hi Sue hope you are well? All ok here glad your results were not too scary๐Ÿ˜Š have a good day both of you ((()))

    Reshmi don't you worry you don't need to check in about my friend I understand.

    How naughty are bil's family making your sister eat stuff she doesn't want to in her own home. I hope they'll be off soon. But that Bil enjoyed their visit. Shame about trouble in the family for him really that sad.

    As for BR and his juice! No way could you open a while large bottle of concentrate!! Imagine them drinking that๐Ÿคข!!! JUICE!

    Hopefully the last of your Mum's tests will be good too fingers crossed ๐Ÿคž

    Sorry this is short it's just rude to be on your phone at someone else's house isnt it?

    Toady I have no idea where our candles are๐Ÿ˜ฆ we need them before we need them.

    Now that's what I like about oil filled rads they retain heat so you can heat them up then unplug them and pop them in say the bathroom before your shower...

    Love love love Mrs B!! She looks great โค

    Right off to be sociable now be careful doing that shed๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

    Take care all

    Covid jab later......๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

    No it's good really

    Hi Toni ๐ŸŒบ

    donโ€™t worry about your short message I understand and donโ€™t worry about the Covid jab either or do you do you fear jabs like some people do? no shame in fearing or not of course just canโ€™t quite remember ๐Ÿค—.

    Ive arranged for my flu jab in one of the chemists better than what the GP surgery offered me which was an evening appointment Iโ€™m yawning already evening jab?? No I really donโ€™t think so not unless I turn into a werewolf again like I did last night oh no sorry that was RR ๐Ÿ˜‚.

    coconut water bought me a tiny bit of energy after methotrexate but Iโ€™m and on the way to dreamland now or juice - land or whatever the youngsters are calling these days lol. Bye for now T and take care. Xx

    Hi all ๐Ÿ˜Š fairly quick visit from me too, have been online too much today mostly shopping ๐Ÿ˜ฌ well including groceries but other stuff too, ahem. Raining quite heavily on and off today, at least it should keep kitty at bay, & hopefully the super acme gadget will be here soon.

    Hope frog alright and coping with the to-ing & fro-ing, and a jab too, ๐Ÿ˜” hope you feel ok after that, I will man the kettle ongoing if needs be.. not sure about the early breakfast slot, tea may be late if it's down to me ๐Ÿ˜ด but if I get off to bed early enough you never know your luck. Have been trudging through odd jobs, including finishing setting up my new phone, finally, having got around to getting it a cover & its own magnetic charging connector, sorting some recycling, shredding all the odd bits of paper & notes that keep respawning as soon as you sort them ๐Ÿ™„ next stop, I have bought the phone notepad to end all notepads and I will use it.โœŒ๏ธNot much chance of getting in the garden today only for a brief spell earlier. The shed felting is a job for a bit down the line, well before winter, but after a few others. My candles were in the garage btw, what there is of them, a bit motley. Matches? that's another matter ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜‚. Wishing you a good night and all the best for whatever your weekend is going to look like xx

    No joan, oh dear how annoying to still have login problems &c if that's what it is ๐Ÿ˜” mine usually seems ok only seems to log me out very occasionally, mind you I only hibernate my laptop so my session is hardly ever closed so that may be why that is (bad habit though). Hope you are both well and the dear dogs :) xx

    Hi bosh, I don't think I'll be too long for dreamland myself, seems to have been a long day ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ sorry MV is 'off' especially on mtx day hope it goes easy on you and you feel ok tomorrow. Glad the meal was not too bas but it's a shame isn't it when places are not as good as before ๐Ÿค” I actually thought smoking indoors was off altogether for most venues. When does sis's EF visit end (or has it), if I was her I'd be tempted to learn Hindi on the QT and then she would be able to listen in & they would be none the wiser she could understand. Although is that like terrible unethical spying? ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ actually, listening in to conversations is full stop, I suppose. But I bet people have done that (overheard something that people think you can't understand I mean & not tell them). Yes it would be lovely to retain facts but I once heard Stephen Fry say something like he wasn't clever he just knows a lot, so I expect you can indeed absorb a lot of stuff but fundamentally be a megabrain. A question cropped up the other day about the relative dates of the founding of the Aztec Empire & Oxford University, well I was off by hundreds of years. ๐Ÿ˜ณ Ah well. Hope you have a good a night as poss & thanks for the brilliant Tardis pic, some great Doctor Who antagonists, the Silence (super scary ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๏ธ), the Weeping Angels (love them) - but I don't seem to know one character, so even my trivia knowledge isn't all that haha. Have a good night as poss :) xx

    Hello to Barbara and Kitty, hope both doing ok, weather a bit ugh isn't it ๐Ÿ˜• and clocks go back at the end of Oct omg ๐Ÿ˜ฑ I don't suppose half of mine are right since last time ๐Ÿ˜‚ xx

    Love to all xx

    Thanks toady ๐Ÿธ

    nice to hear from you, yes she could try and learn Hindi true, but sheโ€™s v busy work kids etc also Iโ€™m not sure how easy that would be tbh some words are similar to Bengali but not many, yes thatโ€™s the prob really isnโ€™t it? Who understands what? Tricky indeed lol, I think mums worried about last blood result even though sheโ€™s denying it, about smoke, yes illegal inside but I couldnโ€™t see exactly who was smoking, once it happened before and I loudly said to mum โ€œCan you smell cigarette smoke?โ€ Maggie Smith style, ok Iโ€™ll leave it there for now, will reply properly tomorrow, have a good night toady and take care.

    Morning everyone old or new the kettle is on

    image.png

    I would hate to have to learn English as an adult!

    Morning Joan I hope you are ok and maybe yesterday (in that rain???) you and Sue went out so didn't have time to post. I also hope the dogs are doing well ((())) xxx๐Ÿถ

    Morning Reshmi well done for finally taking your MTX and such a good news teh coconut water is helping mitogate some of the effects.

    Oh dear MV probably anxiety about the remaining blood results hope they are in now. Keep your head down and look after yourself.

    I am ok with jabs but so kind of you to send your best I only have a dead arm. It's so odd getting cross examined because you are not an older person isn't it? Still not to worry all done Lucy needs hers booked in now which i will do. At her age she'll get some looks, but I will remind her to firmly say she is in remission from cancer if anyone asks.

    I will have my flu jab at my pharmacy as will Lucy and Paul.

    Good news (sort of) that I have an appointment at stoke to retry the camera ๐Ÿ˜ฃ it's for this next Friday and can combine it will a visit to my friend so she and her wife will be supporting me for a change๐Ÿ˜Š They are looking forward to the chance to do that. paul will yet again be in Scotland working.

    I hope today is a better (good) day for you sending some ((()))

    Morning Toady what did you buy?๐Ÿ˜‰ go on not just food was it? I hope your acme patented cat deterrent works and your wildlife is safe.

    All well here suitable jabbed although my friend is still desperately ill. Turn for the worse yesterday bless her and it's her birthday on Monday ๐Ÿ˜“ Too ill to allow the family to visit so it's down to me and her wife again this weekend.

    Covid jab all done and am very grateful for it. Thanked everyone concerned including the man in the carpark we are so lucky really. Will book flu in for the week after. Slightly painful arm, but I'll take that.

    Didn't it pour yesterday?! We got soaked repeatedly, but on the upside had a very nice vegan BLT sandwich (M&S) from the shop in the hospital. I have checked and sadly the only plants growing seem to be the potatoes (almost ready for banking) and there are 3 tiny kos lettuce seedlings too and one flower on my peas.

    Now I have the matches! I can pass you some in exchange for a candle or two???? well done finding yours.

    I hope there is time for your roof felting and my garden tidying life is just so hectic isn't it? ๐Ÿ™„

    I have no news at all except i can't see lucy for a while as she saw her friend the day before and said friend tested positive yesterday๐Ÿ˜“

    I hope your day is good the sun is out here.

    Breakfast is in hand don't worry too much, but a cuppa would be lovely


    image.png

    Barbara Kitty and Carol I do hope you are all doing ok. We are all missing your news and posts. I'm sure i saw Carol in the other day, but looks like she didn't have time to post. I get that life is mad at times.

Have been outdoors for a while this a.m., sonic cat thing has not arrived unfortunately ๐Ÿ˜• it was on course for today but courier has also not even turned up for a parcel he was booked in to collect for me. Can't rule out Sundays either because they seem to be dropping off then these days. I was in the right place to catch kitty coming over the fence and dropping down, somewhere you would say was already far too twiggy and awkward, at least that's one bit of useful info & I can put something else there. Sorry not much going on in the garden for you frog & you are hardly getting an even break to go & do stuff, so sorry that you have had such a convergence of nasties all in such a short space, and that your friend is not doing well ๐Ÿ˜” do hope Lucy is alright, what will she do for the next few days, the self-isolation rules not being the same anymore (is that right), just be sensible? I read with a ๐Ÿ˜ฌ the update on 'the appt', I will just wish you the best and other than that not speak of it til we get to the ifs and whens bit. Shopping, well I stocked up on lots of suet pellets & seeds for the birds they will need them as it turns colder (won't we all), finished the grocery shop, and then mostly fiddled around with some tortuously complicated offers + cashback purchases ๐Ÿ˜‚ including notebooks as I mentioned, some toiletries & makeup and my old friend rescue remedy, and some storage boxes. I did not buy any garden related stuff or pots, though I was Very Tempted ๐Ÿ˜‰ actually, I lie! I did buy some little sparaxis bulbs but that was just previously, & because they were cheap & brought me up to the min order on an odd shop. I have got my eye on a pot but will wait for a discount maybe. Thank you for the matches๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธand have as good a weekend as poss xx

    Hello joan nice to see you in ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ the sonic is not here yet annoyingly, it should be by now. I saw lots of magpies yesterday all gathered on one of the roofs behind, at least 7 'for a secret' I think, that was most unusual! I hope there were not 8 as then you would go back to the beginning and 1 for sorrow I suppose ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. I think you said you see magpies where you are ๐Ÿค”? Have a good day & Sunday :) xx

    Hi to bosh hope your day is ok so far, & that your mum's blood test result will not be too much longer, she will be bound to be worried it's not nice waiting as we all know๐Ÿคž. Will see you in here later probably :) xx

    Love to all ๐Ÿ˜˜ xx

    hi toady ๐Ÿธ

    nice to hear from you. You bought some make up that sounds nice what sort of cosmetic do you use? I like wearing a bit of make up but my sister Really likes to slap it on with a trowel or something like that lol, oh well if it makes her happy๐Ÿ˜‚.

    Yes v Understandable about my mums mood but the thing is of course thatโ€™s not the problem/ pressure going on in the house my dad is going to some stupid cultural event today and heโ€™s not feeling well he was coughing a lot then went to this thing in the rain and wind and almost didnโ€™t wear a mask and he said things like no one gets Covid anymore so my mum and I are concerned and angry understandably.

    Ok so Time is going on a bit faster than I thought id better try to summarise more than waffle haha, Wondering if you could buy other sonic devices for me please? perhaps The receptionist- repellent? Itโ€™s half- price as long as your GP phones you before the witching hour, lol.

    Yes special offers on things are very much annoying and complex I agree.

    im def feeling better than yesterday thanks ๐Ÿ‘, hope youโ€™re having a nice afternoon. Tc xx

    Hi Toni

    Iโ€™m glad that youโ€™re having another go at endoscopy thatโ€™s great news ๐Ÿ‘

    All is kind of well here Iโ€™m definitely feeling better than yesterday so thatโ€™s a good thing at least thanks.

    mums stressing about last b test result, which i fully understand, but dad Has got a bad cough but still went to some stupid social event in bad weather well you can imagine the rest really ๐Ÿ˜”.

    Wasnโ€™t Feeling too great last night at all started brooding about silly things but thatโ€™s just because I was feeling a bit unwell due to our friend methotrexate etc.

    sorry just quickly wanted to say something to toady ๐ŸธI forgot before My sisters EF are going in about a weeks time but I think theyโ€™re going to Scotland in a few days time so at least sheโ€™ll have her house back to normal soon if Iโ€™ve got it right

    sorry back to Toni , poor Lucy did people give her nasty looks in the past because they thought she was too young to have the jab or something like that? That was really nasty of them.

    BR still has high temp.

    ok I know this is incomplete news but need to get going and do some stuff now, so bye for now Toni and take care.xx

    Hi bosh ๐Ÿ‘‹ thanks for explaining about the EF visit times hope that works out well I daresay sis will be glad to have her house back as you say even if she at least has had a bit of help while SIL is there. Sorry little BR is still not 100% ๐Ÿ˜”. I see DV is being a bit silly where going out with a cough in the rain again is concerned ๐Ÿ™„ and upsetting you & your mum, sorry to hear, and hardly worth arguing that of course people are still getting Covid I'm sure he knows that and is being contrary if that's the word I want. Glad you feel better than yesterday anyway ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ hope your evening is not too bad & you sleep better. If the sonic gadget works I will look into adapters for receptionists (care navigators as I mentioned mine call them, so ridiculous ๐Ÿ˜‚). I don't wear much make-up I haven't really got the face for it ๐Ÿ˜‚ by which I mean I have smallish features & there's no point going mad with lipstick & eyeshadow there wouldn't be room to create much of an effect, but I do like to wear some because I also have pale colouring so pale eyelashes & eyebrows & without makeup I look washed out. I have a few cruelty-free brands I buy so I usually just replace stuff I've run out of, lip pencils etc rather than try new things (until a colour gets discontinued, then I have to start again and ferret around for something similar that I don't hate ๐Ÿ˜„). People do buy a lot and use a lot you are right๐Ÿ’„I'm too mean to keep buying new tbh but also think it's wasteful what people get through and probably chuck away half-finished. Do you have a favourite brand? Yes I got very tangled up with my special offer thing but I think it worked, we'll see. Have a good Sunday :) xx

    By the way I meant to say to Toni, I know you didn't ask for a full itemized list of my shopping I just posted that of my own accord ๐Ÿ˜‚.

    See you all soon โ˜•๏ธ teatime again I think, they said again recently that 2 cups a day can help you live longer so kettle on xx
