Good morning all, no sun but windy.
Off out to Gorleston about 9am, look around the shops.
Chinese takeaway tonight.
Have a nice day all.
Good morning everybody.
Iâve got the plumber coming today to complete the central heating that he started a month ago.
Donât quite know how Iâm going to greet him after all the disputes weâve had over money and his wife ranting at me down the phone demanding payment for a job that wasnât completed.
Suppose Iâll just have to smile & pour tea & biscuits down his throat or he might not do us a good job.
Have a good day allâŠ

Condolences to your friend, Emjay.
Window cleaner will be here some time this morning, so I will shortly walk Holly so we are back ready. I have to open my back gate. No way will I go out, leaving it open.
Yesterday I switched on the pc to do my homework for writing group, did that, then opened up one of my stories, still in its infancy, and found myself having the enthusiasm to continue working on it. I even stayed up till 10.30. I had taken Holly out earlier in the evening, put Grace on to record, carried on with the writing, Holly took herself off to bed, and she didnât get a late outing, even into the garden.
Depends on when the w/c turns up and finishes, as to what I will end up doing. Still want to visit a garden centre, but it is a little drive out, maybe 20-30 minutes. (I must time it, when I go.)
Carol, as I mentioned elsewhere, I greet my noisy neighbours through gritted teeth, friendly on the surface, resentment oozing deep inside. I donât want to fall out with them, but they do make it hard! Maybe treat your plumber similarly. Be friendly to him, get the job done, and then donât use or recommend him ever again.
Morning everyone. Itâs looking to be a lovely day today, which Iâm pleased about as itâs back to school/work day for my daughter and the grandchildren - miserable after two weeks off if itâs a wet soggy morning.
Going down to Next in a while to pick up little showerproof coat I ordered online for my granddaughter, then on the way back I will go in the co-op to drop off an Amazon return parcel for Hermes. Keep forgetting to do it, had it ready to go for a week now!
I have a feeling Mr B will want to go IKEA to pick up the last remaining piece of furniture that we couldnât fit in the car on Saturday. We were going to get it all delivered, but they charge ÂŁ30!!! And as all of it bar this one piece fitted in the boot of my car, we figured it was cheaper to drive the 30 miles there and back again to get the last piece (without daughter and granddaughter in the car we can put the seats down to accommodate it).
@carol good luck with the plumber - yes, a steady flow of tea and biscuits, together with a firmly fixed smile should hopefully get the job finished at last, and then youâll never have to speak to him or his witch of a wife again 
Thatâs exactly what I am doing jazzi, but I can go one better. I got him from a site called âMy Builderâ & they expect customers to leave a review to help other potential customers. My review wonât be very complimentary!
Carol, how is it going? Any easier to cope with?
Hi Jazzi
Itâs been a stressful day. The plumber came & brought his dad with him who is also a plumber but works for the council. I was civil to them both & gave them cups of tea & biscuits. I didnât talk to Sam much only about the job connected stuff.
Tony & I kept out of their way. We worked in the garden & then went to Wetherspoons in our nearby town so it wasnât so bad.
We now have full central heating & a new electric fire where the old gas fire was. Itâs all working ok. However - it looks horrendous with copper pipes going all the way down the walls in two rooms & all round the skirting board in the lounge.
I am going to look for somebody who can box the pipes in for me. Hopefully it will look better if theyâre boxed in.
I was really looking forward to posting a review of him & his gobby wife on the review in âMy Builderâ but have decided not to give a review at all. If something goes wrong I will need to call him so I think a bad review is probably not a good idea.
Iâm just pleased to be rid of him.
Goodnight everybody.

Morning all.
Glad the boiler is done Carol, now you need to find a Carpenter to get them boxed in.
Might go to the Boot sale this morning.
Have a nice day all.
Morning all ,
Im awaiting more plants , I think they are arriving today.
Yesterday a delivery of All purpose Granual Feed for the garden arrived , the container it was in had split and half the contents was in the delivery box .
I managed to get all of it out the box , and cellotaped the container .It was obvious it was like that when it was put in the Box.
Have a great day
Morning all.
Good news Carol, but shame about more expense for boxing in.
Eliza, what packing material did they use? Hope it wasnât the foam ânutsâ. Can you imagine the job of separating packaging from the contents?
Gotta dash.
Good morning all.
Just back from Sainsburyâs with my weekly shop.
The funeral that was supposed to have been yesterday is today. I got a message saying that the wrong date was sent. It was sent early so no disruption.
Hopefully all works well with the boiler and things Carol.
Weather here. Blue sky and lots of vitamin D being sent from the warm sun.
Morning all. Thank heavens your heating is all sorted now @carol, itâs been a flipping long time!
Well we did go back up to IKEA yesterday to get the remaining piece of furniture. There are still some doors to get, but they wonât be in stock until some time in May, and we didnât want to wait till then to get the piece of furniture because, knowing our luck, that would have been out of stock by then 
.
Off out for an eye test shortly, long overdue because of Covid. Iâm pretty sure Iâll need new glasses, but even if they say my sight hasnât changed. Iâll still buy some new ones because Iâm sick and tired of the ones Iâve been wearing for the past 3 years.
Then round to see my daughterâs dog, to walk her and feed her, back home for a bit before heading off to pick daughter up from her school to go and get her daughter from school! And then I have to read the next chapter of granddaughterâs book to her (I promised to read this daily while mumma is getting dinner).
Good morning all.
Overcast and cold in my part of the country.
Going to Morrisonâs chemist shortly to pick up my prescriptions, then later, 12-1 going to the cake and company group. It is being held in a local pub as the place that we usually meet, the Labour Party rooms, are in use for the local coming elections.
Also got to repot some more of my daughters seedlings. The peppers this time.
Morning folks.
A hopefully lazy day for me. Had another bad night with stomach pains (which thankfully have eased) but couldnât sleep for hours. Stayed in bed this morning listening to kids next door and father shouting at them, till about 8.15, and got up.
morning all,

Another grey start here same as yesterday , but the sun shone through eventualy and hopefully today will be the same .

Good morning everybody.
Iâll be painting inside the airing cupboard today. Itâs had one coat but could do with another.
Daughter Sue calling to see us this afternoon.
I decided to leave a review onâ my builderâ about the shoddy work done by my plumber.
Iâm now waiting for the sh** to hit the fan.
Sorry to hear about your pain Jazzi. Hope it gets better soon.
Have a good day allâŠ
Morning all, not a very nice day, dull and cloudy, although I think the sun is trying to come out.
I see no one has started the morning thread, I would but its such a palaver making a new thread.
Not going out today.
Janet hope the pain eases up for you.
Have a nice day all.
Morning Afternoon all. Just back from the hairdresser, which will be the last time I go there. The owner has decided to close it, and sheâs not selling as a going concern, instead sheâs converting the building back into the house it once was. She has a lot of irons in different fires, and it was all just getting too much. So my usual hairdresser, a lovely young girl whoâs done my hair for the last 3 years, is moving to a salon literally just up the road from me, but only for one day a week. Sheâll also be doing mobile hairdressing for 3 days. Iâve already booked in with her in 2 months time at the new salon.
Then I drove down to Next to change a pair of trousers I bought a couple of days ago, because Iâd picked up the wrong size. Inevitably I ended up buying another pair as well 
. But in my defence, I did really need them, and theyâre so comfortable.
@Jazzi sorry to hear youâve been in pain, hope it clears up soon. @carol oh lordy, youâve been and gorn and dunnit now, haha! Good like with the brown stuff on the fan
