Thursday

Morning....

Up early this morning.. 5.30am but must have slept ok.
Not doing much today, got to go up the village to collect Mum's pension and thats about it for me!
Not sure what the weather is like... its still dark!
Have a nice day xx

Good morning Karen and all who follow Hopefully Martin is taking me out today to a craft shop but he hurt his back yesterday, while playing golf Think he may have pulled a muscle but don't know how he is yet as he IS STILL IN BED !!!!!

Enjoy your free day Karen and make the most of it Hugs to those who need one. Haven't had Lou on here for a while but it is half term and Jane appears to have gone missing - did I miss her saying she would be away - hope she is ok.

Morning Karen and Jacky and all who follows, just been to sign on oh deep joy and someone else I have noticed is missing is Janet, I have been popping in and haven't seen her will have to send her a text now I have some credit lol
Hope everyone is well and hope Martin's backs ok no good having a back ache when he is supposed to be taking you craft shopping lol

Just sent Lou a text and they are decorating Emily's bedroom, so she has an excuse for being AWOL lol

Morning ladies. 5.30 start again today but I went back to bed after dropping Roy at station so was all tucked up again by 6.30! Apart from popping up to Robert Dyas later on to check out vacuum cleaners ( youngest son has asked for one for Christmas ) as I have a 20% off coupon only valid for today, I am having a very quiet day. No need to do any cooking as I have lots of leftovers to use up Card making methinks. Need to give the games on FB a bit of a miss as I have a sore right arm and I think it is from overuse of the mouse

Hope you managed to find a vacuum cleaner Sue Don't blame you for going back to bed. Sooooo nice to see you on here Jan, Martin's back seems ok and we had a lovely time at the craft shop. Martin had a quick look round then went back to the car with his book and flask of tea. He appeared just as I was paying as he needed the loo. If I was at the NEC I would have spent far more as you don't realise how much you are spending when you go from one stall to another and I bet I would regret some of the impulse buys. I was there for about an hour and a half picking things up and walking around, then thinking I probably wouldn't use it on what I make, so putting it back again. Found the pansy corner punch which I have been looking for since the Newbury show to go with the edge punch and then at the last minute grabbed the All round the page butterfly punches Got a Marianne Creatbale and a Designable, a couple of ink pads, and some enamel accents. Also bought a repositionable adhesive refill for my xyron create a sticker

You had a good shop there Jacky. Got an Electrolux cleaner. It had £10 0ff and I had a 20% off voucher so got it for £56. Bargain! I also bought a Christmas pressie for DIL. Saw them on a stall in Hart Centre earlier in week so decided to get one before the stall disappears. It is a square wooden box which has been painted and stencilled called " Mum's memory box".

Thought it would be something different for her to put the boys' keepsakes in. Just made 4 cards so feeling pleased with myself.

Hmmm.... me thinks Martin went well prepared with a flask of tea!!!! Know what you mean about NEC... I usually go and spend and dont really need it - we would have gone this year, but didnt know whether Keith would have been up to driving, but not only that... we are looking after the 2 Ridgebacks from next Wednesday for 3 weeks - so saving myself some pennies!!
Went down to Mum's at 3.00 and the Sitter said she had a hard job keeping Mum awake... anyway, brought her up here and we have been playing Frustration and she did so well... remembered how to play and even won! Having a good day today, despite her being tired.

So glad your Mum is having a good day today Karen - we used to play Frustration when we had our caravan in Selsey - Sally loved that game.

That box is lovely Sue, something different Sally knows I like boxes and baskets and she brought me back a beautiful one from Jordan - about 5" square, wooden with a picture tile on the top - don't know what I will use it for yet - probably nothing but I love it.
