Morning........Well February 's here and it will soon be Christmas, lol.
Woke up this morning and there was a hard frost and everything was white but the sun is quickly melting it.
Not a lot on the agenda today, mind you will be funny when Ed is up and about again and we will be able to go out and do " normal " things.
Hope you are all keeping warm..............summer will be here soon and we will be moaning about how hot it is, lol.
Bye for now, x

Morning everyone.... sorry I didn't get back on yesterday... we had a few internet problems again... I think it is just Sky playing up at the end of the month, lol.... and I had a bit of a sleep, and a lazy day in general. Didn't even cook a dinner, we had left over sausage casserole with garlic bread.... strange, but ok. It filled a gap.

Just got back from the Rheumatology clinic... all seems ok, just been referred for physio, and at least we know it ain't lupus or RA.... just general wear and tear, or as a result of the AML.

We had a very heavy frost last night.... and the moon was so bright it disturbed our sleep... it shone straight into our bedroom windows most of the night. It was pretty, though.

Son got back yesterday evening, thanks, Ann... R has read him the riot act, he should have phoned me, especially as he had said that he would have a nap and then drive straight back. He has my old mobile, (other son got me a new one from Santa) and I have topped it up, so I know he has credit when he has Littlie in the car. So no excuse, really.

I have an impatient hubby... he is home today, and we are off out shopping for boring old food!

Mummo.... hopefully, Eddie will be up and dancing by Easter time, lol... hide all ladders! ;¬))

Love

Daff the only ladder Ed will be going on is a skirting board ladder, lol. x

AnninGlos Report 1 Feb 2010 12:14

Mummo, the ladder Eddie fell off, was it a free standing one or a fixed loft ladder? We have the latter and I have looked to see how easy it would be to fall off, luckily where ours is I think it is very safe.

Daff, he certainly need to develop communication skills doesn't he?

*** Mummo ***

*** Mummo *** Report 1 Feb 2010 12:34

Ann it was a free standing one but he brought it because it had a special safety bar on it but would you believe it that night he never put the bar across !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mind you didn't help as the bannisters were right next to the ladder so when he fell he went right over and hit the stairs half way down so quite a drop, x

MrDaff

MrDaff Report 1 Feb 2010 12:38

Lol Mummo.... I'd be tempted not to trust him even on a skirting board ladder, lol.... can you get safety harnesses, do you reckon ;¬))

Ann... he does, doesn't he? He is chastened though... not often he gets a ticking off from his dad! In a few years time, I will pay him back by being a recalcitrant, rebellious, truculent old woman.... and move in with him for a while... that'll learn him, lol

R has gone shopping without me... I am off to bed for an hour or so.... I just can't get warm today, the heating is up full blast, too.

Love

Morning Maz (I am always on your 'tail'! lol). i got up early by mistake this morning, so I can afford to waste some time:-) Nice morning by the dim look of it and not too cold. My dragon was in a state last night as a supermarket refused her credit card and as I know she has loads in the account I hope she has not done something foolish! Daff, I love my baby boy to bits but I truly could not live with him! So you are doing good! lol

Have a good day everyone:-)

BC Me too with my baby boy!!! Fancy getting up early by mistake Lol!!! Wonder what has happened about your Dragon's card? maybe she just scrambled the pin number.

Maz, real time waster this isn't it?

~~~~~ to everyone.... BC, they are a nightmare, boys, aren't they? I have started to look at flats for him in the university area of Hull.... and he won't be going until the autumn, lolol

Maz, I know what you mean....I didn't get my nap yesterday.... I got carried away on here, and when I did go upstairs, I could see all the cobwebs on the cobwebs, lol... so today, tah rah... I am going to be swearing in the bedroom!!

Sheets are currently swishing away gently, scrubbing their backs in the washing machine... I have eyed up the ironing board... one of my little luxuries is ironed bed linen, but I haven't been doing it as it knackers me before I've even got the first fold done... bedding is superking sized, so heavy and big!! Mmmm today, though.........

~~~~~~ to Ann

Right... off to work we go tra la la la la la lahhhh!!

Love

I truly admire you Daff as I have never ironed a duvet cover in my life! lol As my washing machine has broken down I left a load of sheets and stuff at my launderette this morning and they came back beautifully folded. My dragon mixed up her debit with her credit card (she has macular degeneration so cannot put in a pin number and anyway would forget it!) so she had to be sorted out....she is making some peculiar decisions moneywise but there is nothing I can do about it. Sad, really.

Anyway, it's pouring rain and I have two free days to spend wisely, foolishly or any other I way I choose! lol

Lol BC... I gave up halfway through.... so it is sort of ironed...

I have now run out of steam... but there are no cobwebs on the ceilings of any of my bedrooms, the landing and the bathroom.

I have the third load of washing in...... and the last for today.. the chicken carcass has been put on to simmer the stock out of it.. I took some out, and made a quick Chinese chicken and sweetcorn soup with egg threads for lunch... the egg clumped a bit, lol but it was very tasty.... and everything is ready to use the rest of the stock, and all the veg etc.. in a chicken curry later.....

The washing is all put away... I just need to vacuum the bedroom carpet..... well, there must be cobwebs on that as well....but I would rather lie on my nice clean bed and snore for an hour.

BC, that is such a shame... my MiL was doing the same a few years ago. She got into quite a financial pickle... and accused everyone of fraud and embezzlement. She had been sending money off after getting those scam letters re lottery wins... that was in the early days... and lost a lot.

But it wasn't those people she accused of ripping her off... it was the bank staff, me, her brother in law who had been dead 10 years, my kids, her hairdresser, the district nurse attending my FiL, the home help, her next door neighbour and the postmaster... and her only son who was playing soldiers in Sarajevo at the time, lolol

It was all sorted, but not until she had called in the police, much to the mortification of my FiL, who was very ill at the time... very very unpleasant and uncomfortable to say the least.

And nope, she wasn't, and isn't, dotty... just unpleasant, lolol

Right... off to play at DomGoddess again, lol

Love

Daff xxxx
