Hope that Lucy is doing ok at college
And hope that Cates cold is not turning into something nasty..
Love to everyone and hope you all have a goodish day...xxxxx

Hello everyone, hope things are reasonably good for most of you. Just popped in to see which soups etc Emily delivered. She's quick and quiet, I don't suppose anyone has actually seen her in the cafe. She's a bit like Father Christmas. Hope you are still enjoying her pies, cakes, soups etc. She did say she'd make a special shepherd's pie and yes, there it is. Think I'll have some before it all goes, followed by some pear and cranberry crumble - you don't often see that.

Cate, I hope your cold has about gone now. Have a big bowlful of Emily's crumble, and a muggatea. Special builders - just how you like it. Have you ever sent her a pretty notelet asking ever so nicely why she has turned against you? Oh I wish I could do something to help.

Barbara, my OH doesn't come to the hospital with me. Firstly he would be totally useless and I prefer to be alone. Secondly there would be no way he could get home, and considering it's usually in the wee small hours when I take ill (inconsiderate wotsit that I am) he's better off going back to bed. :roll:

Joan, I hope you and Sue are keeping well. Have you had your flu jabs yet? It can't be long until your appointment now.

Just going to let off a bit of steam outside while it is dry.

Doing the Frankenstein Stomp :zombie2:

Now the zombiecat YOWL :zombie-cat: Put that bucket of water away Cate, it's only me.

Now to practice my skills at bandages. :zombie-mummy: not very good, am I.

Quick pop in as I need to struggle with the hoovering.

Lucy is 12 today but she's had all her presents already (and a bit more) but at least she accepts that. And she doesn't want a cake either. Got my Charlie visiting tomorrow-I've not seen her since early June.

I have been able to get help filling out the PIP form for Dan so that is also a major worry done and dusted.

I promise I will pop back and read all your posts when I have done that hoovering. Hope I don't find any :spider: Mig!

After a lovely sunny day, it's suddenly gone rather dark. :? And next door's visitor's dog is yapping it's head off - wish they'd take it home. Think I'll scare it away with a zombie cat.
:zombie-cat:

Barbara, hope you enjoyed your sit by the lake with refreshments. Just the thing while the weather is still pleasant.

Elizabeth, I hope the vacuuming didn't wear you out too much. I keep looking at those DT*** ones, as my two cleaners are far too heavy for me. Why two? One for down and one for up.

Mig, it's the time of year for spiders. I don't mind the small ones as I can pick those up and put them outside, but those big, black, hairy ones - EEEEK.
:spider: :scary-spider:

Annoying that isn't it Joan?

Never mind they know the thought was there.

Kath - I had a feeling that Emily sneaks in while we are all off-line in the we small hours in her nightshirt and night-cap. That's how I picture her!

Very wise leaving hubby at home when you are ill. You need to worry about yourself in those situations.

Mig we had a few of those too.....creepy I don't even like them as smilies!!!

Elizabeth I hope you have a lovely visit with your Charlie Happy Birthday to your Lucy too

Well done for completing the PIP form a job well done that

Hi Barbara - I noticed the tree will probably grow again? I am so pleased HAH!! Good old nature

I hope the nasty neighbour is still being meek and that his wife is having a well-earned break from him. Thank you Lucy is still loving college

They even let her cut someone's hair a bit under supervision! Today has been 'sets' Lovely!

Cate - I wish I had the answer, but.....sigh.......I don't have one. Maybe the clue is in how much your son loves his Mum??? Mind you I for one wouldn't want to be married to a man who doesn't love his Mum. Jealousy I mean?? Sending you ((())

I hope everyone has had some of the lovely sunshine

Love

Hi Toni I've been a sleepy girl catching up. I can't seem to get a good nights sleep at the moment, always something annoying me. Mind you the itching has lessened ad the wounds are now healing but I've not had my usual humira for a few weeks now. Nice to hear Lucy is doing well and good luck with the chemo. What is Charley upto now?

Dan has his assessment for the sleepovers today. It is taking place at his school. I hope they don't mention how he doesn't switch off at night but on the other hand he sleeps when on school trips but thats because they wear him out.

I had a lovely Saturday with Charlie, bearing gifts as she missed Dan's B'day too. We even played some board games ad that was a laugh. My other Daughter is coming this weekend!

I think Applerose was away for 3 weeks but possibly 4. I wonder how her boss is coping without her? Applerose you haven't mentioned the weather once! It is nippy here.

I am pleased there are no bloodclots Kath. That is good news. Typical getting 2 appointments for the same day! Good luck for the 2nd Nov.

Barbara cats know where they can get treats and cuddles and they won't give up. I think your GD had a halloween party last year as she ate the cake, forgot it or claimed she's dropped it! She can't play that trick again.
