Hey Hey it's Saturday!

Good morning all,

Well its bright and sunny here, so thats a nice change. Have a lounge full of timber at the moment ready to start the building work on tdividing the girls bedroom to give them separate rooms! So later on this afternoon home is gonna be a building site with three blokes trouping up[ and down the stairs heaving wood!!!

Quite excited about them getting started though I must admit, its been a long wait till we have been able to afford it!

Fantastic to hear how good our Jayne was looking yesterday Jan xxx

Hope everyone is OK and hugs to any poorlies. Hope you all have a fab weekend x

Good morning Lou and all who follow. Bright sunny morning but a sprinkling of snow on the paths and back garden this morning. Still freezing out there too but as long as the is shining I am happy. Martin booked up our holiday yesterday. We are going Eurostar and TGV to Italy Have never been there before so looking forward to it

You sound bright and breezy this morning Lou glad you are getting the work done to your house, it will be worth it when it's finished Great news about Jayne, made my night last night when I read it Going to a docraft demo at the local shop today - have to support the locals too Have fun in whatever you are doing today, hugs to any poorlies. Hope Frances got back from her trip to the river

Good morning Lou Jacky and girls, Hope all goes well for the rooms today Lou, My daughter has had to do that for her two they have not got the money to move yet.
Oh Jacky lovely Italy always wanted to go lucky lady.
Have a good weekend all. We have babysitting tonight and the school run Monday Yip peeeeee.... `wake up and shake up` here we come again

Morning ladies Great that the work is being done at last for you Lou, the girls will be so chuffed with their OWN rooms he he.
The news about Jayne was wonderful to read, now we need to read that Jan is feeling better and looking after herself more too, hint, hint

Like you Jacky we have sunshine and hard crisp bits of snow, not the fluffy white stuff that looks brilliant, but as long as the sun keeps shining I'm happy You will love Italy, its a brilliant country. My daughter got married in Sorrento and while there we visited Versuvius[?sp], Herculaneum, Isle of Capri and loads of other wonderful places around that coastline. We were hoping to go back there one day

You are going to have a wonderfully hectic weekend Janet, I envy you he he

Hugs and positive vibes all around as a few need them at the moment and I'm lucky enough to have lots to share

I saw something on the tv about the Lakes in Italy a few years back and have always wanted to go

Sally is off to Cardiff this morning Jen

I hope she has a great time here in sunny Cardiff he he

Next time you are in Glos Pete and I will have to pop up and meet you for a coffee somewhere near where you stay

That would be great Jen. Shame you aren't going to the Make it Show

Good morning ladies
Bright and sunny with snow on the ground here but the roads look clear thats one good thing
I am looking after myself Jen promise, I feel so much better and so proud of the fact that I have for 2 days running managed to light the coal fire and it stayed alight woohoo Whoever said coalfires are romantic wants their head examined
Going shopping today, a piece of normality arrrrrr (never thought I would enjoy food shopping) but the prices here are horrendous even in Tesco
4 euro for 12 free range eggs and almost 2 euro for a loaf of crap bread, even Kerrygold is almost 4 euro for a 500g tub Will be rifling through the bargain shelves that for sure
Right better get sorted see all you lovely ladies later and I do so hope I am back for the Make It Show
Take care xXx

Good afternoon ladies great news about Jayne, glad you are getting the girls rooms done Lou. Enjoy your day out Jacky and anyone else whos off out. We are chilling in warm house hasits freezing out but sunny, been and done food shop so can pig out now and treat myself to a coffee baileys yum

Well I did survive yesterday although it took me all afternoon to warm up.

Last night I took Michaela for her visit to Quorn Hall with Junior Strings I will pick her up tomorrow. Kayleigh went to Junior Band this morning then met Joshua and I at the Church lads and Girls Brigade jumble sale where we helped out and made just over £230.

Lou I bet your daughters are so excited about getting their own bedrooms. If I had enough money I would move my girls into my room and divide it for them.

It's great news about Jayne too

Have a good evening

sorry havent been around, have pm'd Jacky... just to let her know that I have got mum in hospital - not very good at all.
Will try and get on when I can xx

sorry to hear that Karen, hope evrything goes well for her...hugs from me xXx

Sending big hugs for you and your mum Karen.

Janetx

Sorry to hear about your Mum Karen
It is such a worry when our loved ones are not well
Hope that things improve for you and your family

Glad to hear that you are managing to get out and about Jan
Even though the prices sound daunting
I must admit there is a knack to setting a fire
I used to LOVE the coal fire but loved a peat fire even more
I think there is nothing to beat it but as I said , there is a knack

Hope all is well with every one else
We were planning to go to the Crafty Cow today but alas those plans fell by the wayside through no fault of anyones
BUT! Alan has promised me that we will try again next weekend and has told me to get online and order some new software for myself
I have read that Kanban is due to bring some out so am going to have a look on their site to see when
Hope all is well and hugs to those who need them

Karen , sorry to hear about your mum sendind you a big hug , you sound like you need it XXX
