Well he starts Wednesday, it will likely take a couple of days, then we will have to wait until this lot return to take it down. There is enough scaffolding out there to be building a house!!! I do feel very vulnerable with all this easy access to the upstairs windows which will have to be kept shut and locked at all times when we are out.

3 and a half hours it took them to put the scaffolding up. Looking out of this window now is like being in a cage!!

Oh dear...... maybe you could dangle some outside Christmas lights on it so that at least it looks more cheerful and sparkly????

Love

Hi Jude, scaffolding is to have new windows put in, new barge boards put up and brickwork re-pointed but nit until next wednesday.

Don't you just love visitors who mess around with arrangements?

Daff, now there's an idea!!

morning everyone my nativity play is more a tableau its the community carol service for the end of term, the toddler parents dress their littlies as either angels or shepherds ,
my next group act the main parts ,then our youth do the narration ,this is mixed with carols and lasts about 30mins . the church members usually fill the gaps with readings etc so is all a team thing but no rehearsals just happens .

Morning all.... slightly overcast here, but the sun is valiantly trying to break through...... there is that unique *glow* around that suggests blue skies and sunshine ahead, for a while at least. I haven't a clue what the weather was like last night.... I slept like a log again... woke at 9.10 am, lol.... what a lazybones!!

Today, R and I will be dragging all littlies stuff out of the garage...... and trying to find somewhere to store the ironing board, cos it is in her bedroom at the moment, lolol

Right.... off for a shower, and then some breakfast

Love

Afternoon all:-) Rain, rain and more rain here but very mild so don't have the heating on. I had to tackle a load of **usework today as I let it pile up. I made excuses until a few hours ago and then got to it. I think I am allergic to it:-)

I hope you have all been having a more pleasant day, that Ann got the pink fairy lights for the scaffolding with a blown up Father Chrstmas on the top...and that Daffy is enjoying her little one's visit...

Morning all.... lol....BC, if we add an embellishment for Ann's scaffolding, we'll soon have it looking so wonderful she and T won't want it taken down, lololol I did loads of swearing, yesterday, too.... and the ironing board has a new home in R's computer room.....

Littlie is now here, Ann, all safe and sound, has had her breakfast, and a cuppa... insisted on Peppa Pig knickers and socks (my fault, I'm afraid, as I introduced her to Peppa Pig last time she was here, lol) and fortunately we had some... same with the jim jams last night... that caused a bit of a panic, until I remembered that older Littlie's Christmas Jim jams, all neatly wrapped ready for the big day, contained a pair of Peppa Pig jim jams, too big for S, but she doesn't give a fig as long as they are Peppa Pig.... oooh, that rhymes!!... *sigh* so much for being ahead of myself, lol, but at least little S went to bed all serene and happy, lol

Joy, I am really looking forward to it......... I didn't want to say *yes* until closer to the day... it felt a bit like tempting fate, lolol, but now I am really beginning to plan much further ahead!! Feels great! My arm is still a little bit tender... but the jab was put into one of the places I had a driver in when I was in hospital.... I ended up with a reaction, in each spot... so as I had the driver in 4 different places over 2 weeks, I have corresponding sore spots...

~~~~~~~~ to Maz

R and B have both actually got up, slightly after 10am..... on a Sunday!! That must be a bit of a record, lolol They are not good morning people, though... S and I have been laughing at their grumpiness, lolol

Right.... off to have a shower and leave the blokes in the gentle hands of littlie, lolol ;¬))

Love

Good morning from a wet, windy and horrible Gloucester. Off out to lunch, meeting friends so throwing clothes all over the place trying to find something to wear!!!

Have a lovely day with littley Daff.

BC The scaffolding looks beautiful, all white crystal lights and baubles, a veritable fairy castle (not)!!!!

Lol Ann.... just popping in to say goodnight!!

We have had a very busy day... learned a new song.... dredged it up from my days working in the school... it was a game, really, but had songs attached... I just altered the game to actions... it's about elephants balancing on a piece of string, lolol She loved it... then we dug out some elephant drawings... she printed them off, and we have painted them in... well, she painted them, I got more over me, lol.... son then took her out for a walk while there was a break in the bad weather, and she came back drenched from puddle pounding......

The two of us curled up on the sofa to watch Happy Feet..... we both dozed, lol...

We had roast beef and yorkshires... and now we are all exhausted... I am sure we did more than that........ but the day has just flown by!

Off to bed now... did you enjoy your meal out?

Love

Daff xxxxx

Hi
, Lunch was OK not spectacular but nothing wrong with it (if you see what I mean). I hadn't fancied roast (it was a beefeater), but didn't really fancy anything else on the menu. started with prawn cocktail and it was (or the prawns were) tasteless, those fat sort of slimy ones, edible but not that good. Roast was OK but unimaginative and a bit tasteless, pud was nice profiteroles and ice cream as was the wine and whisky. The venue was too noisy for somebody with hearing aids. However I enjoyed it because we were with friends and the company was good.

Your day sounds lovely Daff.
