morning Sandie sounds about right lol I had the same issue the other day .

Morning ~~

We were woken up by son this morning at about 6.30,just as he was going to work , the dumbo had realised the tax on his car had expired and wanted his father to renew it for him ( he wouldn't have been able to get to a Post Office today )... a ploy for father to pay !!??
Tho the tax is now purchased if he gets stopped by the police he could still be done for 'failure to display'.
An ex colleague hadn't put the disc securely in the holder and it fell onto the floor , she was booked by the police tho the disc was in the car.
Hubby's just been to purchase the tax disc, he used to work with the owner of the PO, who told him that in the early hours, either the police or DVLA officers had been checking tax discs around where he lives ( a lot of peeps don't have garages and their cars are parked on side roads and even main roads.)
Lets hope son gets home without an encounter with the Plod today !

morning all hoping for a dry day to get chores up to date lol

Afternoon ladies~~

Sounds familiar to what I often do Maz :)

It was smashing weather early this morning but is clouding over now and getting very grey :(

Hope your aches and pains are better today Paula ? the damp weather does make one's joint more achy unfortunately .. hope you've had the sunshine and warmth we had earlier.

hi i did post earlier but i must have forgot to submit lol

Don't give up on it Paula !

You feel disheartened when you don't loose anything, some weeks I'd even put on a pound or 2 ... and you think ..WHAT !.. I've been good, where is the logic in that.
It's your body getting used the change in your eating habits, and perhaps more exercise initially , whilst burns fat builds muscle , which weighs heavier.... but it is better for you in the long run.

I've put on weight since this back and knee prob, but am determined to get it back off, cos my clothes don't fit properly and I'm not buying larger sizes.
That is a slippery slope I went down before.. not again.
;-) Stick in there .. you can do it :)

hate this damp weather.My hips and shoulder are giving me jip this past few days.Can hardly believe how quickly the school hols have passed.Ava doesn't start until the 14th.
Just wondering what to have for tea.................
by the way Sandie, I didn't lose any weight this week even though I had been more active :>(

Afternoon folks~~~~~

Back and knee playing up today... I do too much standing on Saturdays !
Meeting peeps whilst shopping and chatting,.... 'hated' Sat lunch.. too much standing at the cooker at one go.
Walking isn't a prob, except I can't walk at the speed I want. I don't want to push it as the Dr said gentle exercise but I am trying to increase it daily.

The junior schools ,here, are back on Mon and the secondary on Tues.

Hubby will go to work sooner in the mornings then, cos the 'school runs' cause so much congestion and he will get caught up in it..
Dau will prob be OK cos she is rather lazy and seldom leaves for work til 9.15am.
Son is gone by about 6.30am, so it won't affect him.

Grey old day here again :-0

morning al
last couple of days before school starts Time has flown by ,

Afternoon all~~

Washing all dry.:)

Maz, I like to think I am am a kind person, but you and Paula would do the same,in my situation ,walking their pets, when they weren't able I'm sure,

Pup Maisie had a good walk, she still goes nuts when she gets home.. Prospect of food !!!! races around the living room and then under her 'lair ' the wooden steps to the upper back garden., umpteen times.
She is getting better when out walking, but as soon as she's home she knows their 'rules or lack of ' and that they are a soft touch. They are not firm enough.. they have to cope with her, so it's their choice.

morning all you are very kind Sandie my neighbour always took our dog out when my legs were bad before they were done .she was a sad as i was when she was put down

Hi~~

Been out most of the morning.
Took neighbours pup for a walk ...as his knee is playing up and his mum can't walk her.She's usually very good for me on the lead.
Where I walk her in a sort of nature park area ,there is children play day today, I wasn't aware until I got there, part of it is wooded. There was craft activities , like wood carving , pottery to name just a few, then the local radio set up ! She didn't like the loud music !
She was very good with the children, she was the centre of attraction lol.
On my way home we met a friends male spaniel who looks very much like her...she went nuts..jumping, nearly dragged me home ,chasing leaves etc etc my shoulder is now aching from restraining her.
Totally different from earlier , she'd got so excited.
Don't know if my knee and shoulder can face the evening walk.lol

morning a very chilly feel here early on i put the heating on to just lift the dampness yesterday we had a bit of a shower .but only for half an hour

Hi.~~
Feels like winter here :-(
Haven't resorted to the heating ,but have a fleece on.

Son arrived back yesterday from the festival ... face and hands quite tanned.
When it wasn't pouring with rain, it was glorious sunshine. His one friend came back early, he couldn't hack the conditions !!!
Son said he wouldn't have wanted to stay too much longer. He was caked in mud, first think he did was jump in the shower.
I had to scrape mud from his jeans and jacket before they went in the wash. Sleeping bag was hand wash only, which I refused to do. It wasn't too bad just very slightly marked ( I was very suprised ) so was spread on the patio and sponged down twice.. by myself and hubby ( inside was fine )
His wellies were caked in mud inside and out.. hubby saw to those, they are in the shed upside down on poles.
They didn't bother to bring their tents back, they were wrecked..by other peeps;(......................... Oh the joys of youth:) He's home safe,that's all that counts.

morning all very grey here but hopeful that washing will dry
hope you had a good weekend

Hi~~

Got a few loads dry today, tho dau put some out and had to promptly bring them back in.. nasty rain storm.. dry now.
Not a cloud in the sky now, bit of wind ,hoping the towels will dry.
I'm sure I must wash more towels than any one else in our street.. dau only ever uses them once. Is that norm..?

I said that my son went to a music festival in Cheshire... well they went in 2 cars, thankfully, cos my neighbours son came home ,early today.
He was cold, tent was wet, and he didn't take any weather proofs... Dumbo..and his car is covered in mud.
It was a new tent and I asked them if it had been tested and waterproofed
Yes they said..
It was dismissed , saying new tents had proofing !
Well we camped in 1974/5 in a second hand 5 bed tent which we thoroughly waterproofed ,in Jersey and Cornwall in very heavy downpours .. we never got wet in the tent. :)
Son is sticking it out and travelling back with another friend.

Morning ladies~~

Smashing weather here at the mo.

My knee is 'burning up' and for some reason my shoulder has decided to come out in sympathy ...again... and join it.

I suppose it's just one's body out of alignment cos of 'hobbling ' :(

No sympathy req'd thanks :-) I'll just avoid the Neurofen Plus.
Nasty scare ,that.

Have a good weekend
