night C



sleep well.

I guess I'm fortunate with my grandchildren now they are teenagers.....certainly not as hard work as when they were younger and I was younger with them!


Hi Sylvs. Yes he's comfy in the recliner but the loo is upstairs which is a trail for him at night. We can get help with certain things but Social Services in this area don't 'do' beds. I think the idea we thought of today is going to be the best option at the moment and, we will only have to buy one bed :-D



Nearly bedtime...........night all.....~~~

Dea
I know that feeling and we only have GD once a week whoever said "children keep you young" was fibbing :-)

I had to have a "cat nap" when she went!

oo'er


just heard on the traffic report on the radio

accident at xxxx Avenue, right on xxx Street. Expect delays on xxx Street.


That's just one block away from my house


I hadn't heard a thing


Had to go and find out, didn't I???



Nothing very exciting!!


2 cars had obviously met ...... but both were now parked on my street (the xxxx Avenue), and everyone was just standing around looking at them.


Several of the neighbours were also taking it all in.


Traffic on xxx Street was zooming down, as normal. It is one of the major routes south.

C

he is comfortable in his current recliner isn't he? Even when he sleeps in it.

That might be the clincher in getting the bed first, hoping that he will be able to get a good night's sleep in it.



Can you get any help in buying such essential items??

It's Friday Linds - Ginns will have 'the gang' around so you won't be seeing her ! ;-)

I just popped in for a minute or two - I LOVE Fridays nowadays, it means I have a few days rest from the grandchildren !!

As much as I really love them both to bits - they can be SO tiring !!! - I think (NO - I KNOW) I am getting old !!! :-( :-( :-(

Dea Xxx

Wow its quiet on here tonight off for a look around

GD got her first proper haircut today and it makes her look sooo grown up and her Daddys double at the same age :-)

Finally got OH to do a "dump" run and get rid of some of the stuff we have cleared also did an Oxfam drop.

Just the garage and hut to do now :-(

Oh and we are still painting (not managed to get him to do anything for past 3 days) could have done the Forth Road Bridge by now!

I think they must both have a day off work because, on the dark side, he mentions something about having lunch in Manchester......... :-D


It's still raining here.....loads of it! :-(

Hope they both have a lovley day Cyns........are they doing anything, that doesnt involve a brolly?

Morning......not a lot 'good' about it though....the weather is miserable :-(


Thank you for breakfast Sylvs..... :-D


OH is now working himself up into a state of fretfulness over whether we get a bed or a recliner first. I think it's going to have to be the bed to be honest.


Son and daughter-in-law are celebrating their 16th wedding anniversary today.........cor.....seems like last year.... :-S

Yummm...thanks Dea :-D
