Yawn, Yawn, Wakey Wakey!! 2016

Wow and I thought I was busy

I really hope you get first prize for all the effort you have put in, no doubt it looks wonderful

I hope we will get a peek at some photos, the costumes sound fantastic...and a big well done to Mr M joining in he sounds very much like Mr AB it took me ages to convince him to dress up for New Years Eve and once he did he really enjoyed it so fingers crossed you'll both have a fabulous time

 

Good morning everyone, you have all been so busy! Today is operation day, I have to be there at 1pm. Just hope they do not keep me waiting around too long before getting on with it.
Beckie, glad you decided not to go to the wedding, there is no point in stressing yourself out over doing something you do not want to do.
Have a good day all, stay warm and dry and above all safe and well, God bless.

 

Goooooooood morning WW'ers

No sunshine (yet) but lots and lots of rain! Supposed to clear up in the next hour or so Looking out of the window, it seems that all the bunting is holding up to the weather rather well

Aww, thank you! I'm so lucky that I live on a road where the neighbours are "get stuck in" kind of people. Friday night at the ball should be a real hoot!

OUCH!!! Never knew goose grass could be so vicious. Hope it heals well

I'll be thinking of you and hope it all goes swiftly, safely and with as little stress or pain as is possible for you

@Beckie76 - how's Buttercup? Just for the record, I have 5 of mine all broody together and all squishing one another in the nesting box Have you been successful with Mr Rat-A-Tat-Tat?

@liliana - hope you and Pete are both firmly on the road to recovery?

Right, need to get on. I'm on an outing for the afternoon and there is still much to be done, including Ozzy's walk (he doesn't like storms so it would have been hopeless trying earlier).

Healing vibes for those in need of them and miles of smiles for all xxMxx

 

Morning early people

Hope it goes well Moyra

Thank you all for your good wishes for the interview tomorrow

Would it be too over the top to take my "portfolio" ?



Shiney, find some Hedge Woundwort for that cut, sure I saw some in your garden

Have a good day everyone

 

@shiney I have never heard of grass that could cut someone. How nasty. Hope your cut heals quickly.

@moyra I hope your procedure goes well, on time and that you recover quickly. Do let us know how you are. I know lots of us will be thinking of you.

@Zigs I agree with Shiney. Have the portfolio in your vehicle but talk the business of working for them first. If the topic comes up, you can mention that you have samples of your work in your car. Unless they've already got a lot of windows that need repair, they may only be interested in that topic as an additional attraction for you working for them.

We are very chilly here, cloudy and windy but these winds are supposed to bring in lots of sunshine. I'm going to get lots of work done while the clouds float by and be ready to spring outside in sunny times!

Have a safe day everyone!

 

Hi everyone, you will not believe it. Got as far as having my wrist bands put on and into my day nightie thingy they put you in and then sat while they went through all the paper work, took my temperature and diabetes blood test. The saw a Registrar, then the Aneathist and then eventually the surgeon. They refused to carry out the procedure as I am running a high temperature and also because of all the rash and scratching on my body. They are sending me back to my own doctor for antibiotics and will see how I am in a couple three weeks time. I can tell you I am not amused! Now must have something to eat.

 

@moyra that is sad. You have so many false starts happen to you. Let's hope the next time, it's done and over with!

 

@moyra so sorry to hear that you have been sent home and hope that you are much better in 2/3 weeks time and in a better place with your temperature and rash so that all goes well for you then

@shiney oh my goodness I hope that you are ok... Not sure but are you up to date with your tetanus jabs? How lovely to send the plants to other charities

@"M" how wonderful, I haven't been to a ball in years, hope you have a lovely time

I think we have some thunder clouds rolling in.. Hopefully it will give the garden a good watering and be gone for tomorrow

Enjoy the rest of you day everyone

 

big hug

 

Not amused? You must surely be feeling extremely frustrated and not short of a little bit annoyed into the bargain!!!
So, so sorry to hear how things are panning out for you right now; but, on the other hand, I believe they have done this with your best interests at heart - even if it doesn't *feel* like it at the moment (high temp/rash/scratching). Hopefully, some anti-b's will bring your temperature down, resolve the rash/itching and then ... ... full steam ahead


Well, what a fun day Mr "M" costume arrived today, which is a tale in itself: arrived home from walkies as Postman Pat was delivering post next door; hung back and asked: "anything for me?", negative. Five minutes later, knock on the door: Postman Pat with a parcel! Mr "M"'s costume had arrived (Silly Billy Postie Pat )

Anyway, finished cutting out the required amount of homemade bunting then realised I was getting squeezed for time for the afternoon "outing". Quick shower and then off on the outing. Now, I'd signed up for it simply so I could join in but not really knowing what I'd signed up for.
What a fUntastic afternoon! We went to a lovely open garden attraction and, not one to "follow the crowd", I broke off from the masses to do my own investigations. What a charming little jewel of a garden we had been taken to. So tranquil too! Just what I needed to recharge my batteries and give my mind some reflection time Took some photos but I doubt I have done the place justice (if I have time tomorrow, I'll post in the Days Out thread).

Arrived home to a very excited Mr "M", who had already tried on his costume and was like a kid at Christmas waiting for me to get home so he could do a dry run with it and get my opinion. OMG! It may well be cheap and cheerful in terms of quality, but ... ... it is PERFECT! Way too big ... but, that just adds to the characterisation He makes the perfect SPIV To see him get "into character" was hilarious! So, now he is feeling more confident about his "fancy dress", I feel happier In addition, the lady who played chauffer today wasn't going to the ball because she had no one to go with so I told her, come with us!! Quick as a flash: thank you and yes please!!!!! So: all is good in the hood!

Tomorrow, I still have to prep the front garden for my display (temporarily pot up some plants to make room for it and turn those into "displays" for the duration), finish the home-made bunting for the windows/table, prep my food contribution for the bring-n-share supper, add my name to the volunteers for a stall on Saturday and ...

... B.R.E.A.T.H.E (Unlike our Shy Knees, I'm new to all this kind of thing: s'pose that makes me a Shy Knee Virgin? )

Oh and as a real bonus ... when we were putting up our outside bunting, I saw the Mr of our immediate neighbour so I asked: are you decorating? He replied: need to ask the wife Sort of had an air of "excuses" about it, but, hey, not everyone wants or needs the hassle: fair play.
While we were in the garden this evening doing other work, I was so sure I heard the neighbour trundling his ladders hither and thither ... ... even said to Mr "M": Do you think he's putting up bunting? ... ...

... came into the office to log in here and ... He's put up bunting!!!!!!

So, we're yet another step closer to the "Best Dressed Street" award ... (and I still haven't added my pièce de résistance display yet a.k.a not just bunting! )

Can't believe I'm a grown up getting so stupidly excited about something so ... random!
