One good, exciting, pleasant, unusual thing that has happened to you in the past week.

Hmmmm that is proving more difficult than I thought, Ann! Hasn't been a good week but I am sure I will come up with something:-) BC XX

I bought my granddaughter a new bed, she came here on Thursday for 3 weeks. I take her for a walk each day, she hasn't cried for Mum and Dad. She loves to be brushed and ..........
























wags her tail all the time....lol

Lol SueM, I am sure it looks great Rach. Come on BC there MUST be something. That was lovely carol

I have two, greedy aren't I.
Had lunch with the lovely Daff
And Had my second oldest Grandson visit and cook us a meal for the first time ever.

I have been doing battle with E.on about a gas bill for months now. This week I finally triumphed and they have knocked off £125 . The little person verses big business and I didn't let them bully me into submission .

I'm chuffed to say the least : ))

Well done Amanda, it's not easy taking the corporate giants on sometimes, but to get that much off, brilliant!

Well, on Monday I decided to take a walk along the nearby river. I have lived in this area for five years now, but with the arthritis and so on , I've only really been able to do any real walking since my hip replacement 2 1/2 years ago.

I discovered a beautiful natural area which is protected as a site of special scientific interest, and though you can hear the main road nearby, you can also hear birds singing, bees humming and the breeze in the trees above it. And this is in a city! There are wild flowers, a river, trees, water meadows and a woodland. A proper haven in there.

I've just been down there again, taking the long way to the newsagent, and walked and walked. More people there today, people fishing, cycling and dog walking, but it was still lovely.

Sounds lovely TW, somewhere to go away from the hustle and bustle of life.

Well done Amanda.

Good thing...went out to dinner Tuesday evening with Family
Exciting....seeing my Grandson in the crowd at BB final Friday night :O) & 'posing' for pics. with celebs (he looked soo happy lol)

My grandson opening his birthday presents was good :))

Angie, somethimes it is the little things that happen to us that make our day.

Mau, he will be back before you know it and he is doing what he wants to do. hard to see them fo off though isn't it?

Fiona, I bet it was - how old is he?

I have spent the past two days 'Offering' the contents of my house and garden on Freecycle.

Yesterday a young man and his girlfriend came to collect 4 dining room chairs. The doorbell rang and I could see the couple on the step through the window. They were so happy, smiling and excited.

This couple have just bought a home together and are gathering basics. Everything about them was beautiful, they radiated happiness and expectation. Remembering these two strangers has kept me going all weekend. I would like to think that everyone was as happy as they were.

He's three, Ann; and he was very excited:))

My long awaited X ray results came through to confirm that I do have Arthritis, I could have told them that myself.

Dear Ann in Glos

Hello

I went along to a lovely church service.

It was the "right time" for me to go to church and
curiously, the hymn played was "Be thou my vision", one of my favourites.

This just felt good.

Best wishes to all

Like Ann.... I am going to be greedy and say I have had two lovely events this week.... lunch with Ann, lol...... and she showed me her scrapbook, but had hidden the glue, lol

And then my dad decided to take me and mum out for lunch, and we had a wonderful time.
