Rainbow I had beef stew with mashed tatties and a couple of wee Yorkshire puddings on the side.........😁 I really need to cut back, but I enjoy my food too much. To top it all I’ve just had a magnum style ice cream 😐
Glad you had a relaxing afternoon and got your book finished Pluto 😀
We’re watching Lewis on ITV3 as we couldn’t find anything else to watch 🙄 it appears to be one I haven’t seen before so that’s a plus 😊

Hello all. Just managed to get on. You'd think I had this really busy life wouldn't you? PK I don't like that place. Thanks for the book ref P, I just reserved it at Stretford, they have it in large print too. Teebs good going on the slipper boots. I'm thinking I'll get some Uggs, cheapo version, for when I'm at home as I cramp up, I think it's the 60s floor tiling in the flat, cold on my tootsies. R I don't think knees get better on their own. I asked the doc for some Fenbid but she said buy my own so now I'm sulking. I shall have to buy Voltarol or something. My knees are constant now with outbreaks of excruciating. M Deb and them luv American Pickers. They came round today with Freya, I've never known such a happy baby, she's a dream child, she takes after Deb, a joy to be around. She looks like she did at that age too. I will post a pic when I find one. I need to get to bed, I'm shattered though from doing what I don't know!

Hey! B started working on replacing the ceiling in our little hallway outside the bedrooms, really tedious, and I'm his personal assistant, lol...I hand him tools and ceiling tiles when he needs them! Should be finished in a couple of days, then it's the kitchen ceiling and floor next! PK, that sounds so painful, I can imagine how badly it must hurt! And your hands! I hope you've got some pain meds to tide you over until you're better. I hope everyone is doing better and having a better Thursday...would love to see pic, Ditto! Take care all...hugs!

Good morning Ditto, hope you get the book soon and you enjoy it. How old is Freya? B always has jobs on the go M. I expect it helps him adjust to his retirement. You'll have a new house by the time he has finished! I really must look into getting the garage roof fixed. The leaks are getting worse! Have a good day everyone. Hope you are well looked after today PK

Afternoon all. Absolutely filthy weather here. Had to go library as well, proper nasty out. Have had to wedge a wheelie bin in front of the larger shed door, it keeps blowing open. We're watching The Misfits again, such a dreary, unsettling film. You can see Gable and Monroe were on their last legs really. We seem to have a ceiling theme going on now. I'm waiting for them to come do mine next week. The hall ceiling needs fixing then skimming, then nephew will be able to emulsion it. A nice tasteful opal blue as opposed to the bright bright blue in the lounge that nephew got, mind you I like it now. I got £100 decorating grant. Shame I can't afford floor covering. Hope y'all are having a good day.

Afternoon 👋
It’s quite a nice day out, we usually go up to the Co-op today, but it’s ‘Hand Ba’ day so it’s safer to stay indoors 😉
Nice to see you post Ditto, that’s a good decorating grant 😃 they’ve stopped actual money grants here. You get given a docket for the size of your property then you take that to the designated centre and collect paint, brushes, trays, dust sheets etc. it’s quite a good way to do things, I think we’ve enough paint left to do the whole house again 😉😅
Lol at being Bs assistant M 😅 I hope you get the going rate 😉😂
Hope your training days go well Rainbow 🙂 I’m keeping nice and toasty thanks 🤗
Pluto that’s a bummer having a leak in the garage 😧 there’s always something isn’t there ? 🙄 hopefully you’re feeling better today 🤗
PK here’s hoping you’re in less pain today 🤗

I got a card Teebs, like a credit card, with various shops listed and my fave Wilko was on there with wallpaper I'd been lusting after for ages so I was proper chuffed. What is hand ba? Games and stuff? Storm Erik is on the way peoples, batten down the hatches! We're watching You've Been Framed, our braincells are winding down for the day, we just want to watch and laugh then go bed and read.

Teebs I had to Google hand ba day then remembered that you have told us about it before. Like you say, best to stay indoors!!! That's a good scheme up your way 're the decorating.
It was windy here overnight but calm this evening.
Same trainer as before Rainbow?
What is the wallpaper like Ditto?.

The card sounds great Ditto 👍 I really hope you get your wallpaper 🤗.
Sorry to hear your training was exhausting Rainbow I hope you have a good nights sleep 🤗
Nice one on googling the hand’ ba Pluto 😀 the town looks like a really rough place with all the shop windows being boarded up, I often wonder what visitors must think 😂

Hey!
Teebs, I googled it, too, and that’s really a kinda cool thing since it’s a Jedburgh tradition! Evidently, it can get rough though?
Rainbow, sorry the training is going rough, hope tomorrow is better!
Pluto, did you get in a visit with your mom? How’re you feeling?
Ditto, how many books do you usually read a week? Hope the weather improves for you so you can get around easier! What’s the wall paper look like?
DeeDee, I hope you get an appointment with the doctor soon, and you get some relief for your knees.
Ceiling is almost done, just needs the molding...think he’ll take a bit of time off cos the kitchen area is much larger, and I think he’ll need more than my help! We have a handyman guy who does short term work when we need him.
AC is on here, the weather is really warm, 78F or about 26c. But we’ve got rain coming and it’ll cool off briefly, think our winter is pretty much done!
Got my yearly mammogram tomorrow, usually in and out...
Take care all...I hope you all feel better and enjoy your weekend...hugs!

Morning
It was a different trainer who works with the one we had Pluto. Same course but updated and felt like mostly new information. It was very good but so much to take in. Lots of brain stuff. The trainer is a 35 year old ex social worker who is easy on the eye and swears a bit. He kept the room focussed although there were a lot of us. Some had done the last course. Good mix of workers
I will have my car back today and am going straight to Big Sis after work and will go out for dinner with her
This is the first friday l've worked for 4 years! Feels very strange!
Have a good day everyone

Also need to sort out her banking now I have Power of Attorney. I'm still sniffling. DeeDee really hope you get the GP appointment. Sounds like you are in dire need Hi M. Wish I had a regular handyman guy to come in. The house will look so smart when completed Well done on the mammogram. I gave up years ago on those plus the other thing Have a good day 2 Rainbow. Enjoy dinner with L

Hello all, Friday so I'm at son's house visiting. Storm Erik is coming or maybe arrived? It's rather blustery. Darn it, even on son's posh laptop I can't see all the smileys. Good going on the docs appt DeeDee, I'm still sulking at my new docs coz she wouldn't let me have any Fenbid. They won't be seeing me again this side of next January. With any luck. Hope I haven't just jinxed myself. We've got Snowdrops out! Son might be relocating soon so I've dug 'em up and put them in a pot to move. It's best to move them 'in the green' anyways... Teebs it could be worse, it could be bull chasing like them mad Spanish. PK what have the eats been like lately? R I can't remember the last Friday I worked! Will you take early retirement when the time comes do you think? P that is very naughty re missing those important appointments. This is my bedroom wallpaper which I got immediately I got my grant, I didn't want it to be all gone. I have a lantern fetish, especially paper lanterns. I have a string in my bedroom window which daughter bought for me. Dunno if this will work.. bs.webp (77.92 KB)

Hello from a wet and wild Borders 🌧💨💨
Glad you got an appointment at the doctors Deedee I hope the new meds help 🤗
Well done on getting your mammogram M, I can’t remember if I’m due or not, but I’ll get a letter to remind me. I find it a tad embarrassing because the van is always parked in the main car park so everyone knows where you’re going 🙄😅
Not too bad having a nice looking trainer Rainbow 😉 or is it a distraction with the brain stuff? I hope your day wasn’t too busy especially when you’re not used to it 🤗
Pluto that must be a lot of extra work and stress having power of attorney for your mum 🤗. I’m bad enough just helping mum with her business stuff 🙄
😂😂 Ditto I love the Imagine of bulls chasing the boys/men down the high street 😂. I’ve downloaded the pic of your wallpaper and I’ll let you know my opinion when I find where it is on this pad 🙄😅
D is just back from the vets with Lucydogs ashes 😢 I must say the whole package is done extremely well and there was a beautiful card inside which was a lovely touch 😢
Hope your well PK and getting some decent cake for afternoon tea 🤗
