Yes, but I'm not sure to be honest as when listening to the news it seems that they haven't fully decided yet? I'm wondering if it's actually the pneumonia one- but he's go over excited and assumed it's the covid one? 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_19762 Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 Just had a trip to a garden centre - went armed with 4 gift cards that have been knocking about in a drawer for ages, had no idea what if anything was left on them, turned out I had something just over £11.00 - very pleased with that, bought some pansies! (have to watch the pennies now that I am officially an OAP😂) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_8282 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Oh my days, I'm exhausted ... I've completely gutted and culled the 30+ year old pack-away cupboard! It's taken 3 days with just myself and one likeminded staff member at total of 32 hours!!! We're about 80% done! We were told we were getting a slight bigger space but EVERTHING had to fir inside- but actually it seems we have slightly smaller space to fit everything in 😬 although to be fair it is soooo much easier to access now. The trouble is I need six weeks of now to recover! It was all supposed to be done at the beginning of the holiday - but they are still not fully finished with the renovations..... hope they're done by Thursday !!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_19782 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) Sunnyday's milk delivery must be on its way soon then 😉 I cant tell you how long it took me to stop catalogues coming or pamphlets for catalogues coming, regardless of how many times I just used to take them straight down to the postbox having scrawled over the outer jacket that we had shut down, or "unsubscribed" clearly takes a long time for some companies to get the point.

Oh don't! I am furiously unsubscribing emails Informed insurance company that I would not need any cover from September (twice actually) and why, they still decided to ring me yesterday 🤷♀️ Sure I will get all sorts of catalogues arriving soon... Looked after youngest grandson yesterday (3) we were talking about his birthday (November) and what sort of birthday cake his mummy would make for him, he doesn't eat cake at all, he really doesn't like it, I asked him why and he said "it's too spicy for me" 🤣 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Well, I spent most of yesterday on the beach - paddling, dog walking and watching my two nieces have the best time playing ‘families’ in the sand. The younger one was organising her big cousin who took it in very good part and I thoroughly enjoyed the pots of leek and potato soup and ‘cherry delish’ which were brought to me for testing. As is usually the way I had to be the police, bad guys and random stranger as needed! It was a lovely week. I (just about) survived the driving. Difficult to see mum and dad in some ways as it kind of highlighted the bits of aging that I don’t notice because I see them fairly regularly. We came back today and after a load of laundry and some food shopping my introverted self has thoroughly enjoyed the peace of ‘me time’! I’m back to school on Tuesday and children return on Thursday. Plus new head and SENDCo and the return of some people who’ve been off sick for a long time. Sunnyday, I’m so pleased to hear you’re enjoying yourself. I’d recommend a specific something (coffee out or a garden centre trip) on what would have been your return date to stop you thinking ‘right now they will be…’ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm looking forward to a nice pub lunch with staff. We didn't do an end of term in July as we wanted to all steer clear of C for summer hols. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried all of her pens just to make sure that they were of good quality 🤣 and inspected her stash of notebooks... 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
