Posted on 20/01/2017 09:06 by milliehullGood news Robsail. Hope your OH's monitoring goes well.
So sorry to hear about your aunt Bakers. I hope your Mum will be OK after the sad news. Sounds like you have had some wonderful weather in your area. It has been grey, cold, damp and miserable here for the past few days but have woken to a glorious day here today. It was a bit misty first thing but clear blue sky and very frosty now.
Enjoy your mover JVB. We couldn't have managed without ours. When Mr H decided he wanted a caravan instead of the motorhome I said not unless we had a mover. Enjoy FM. Hope the weather behaves for you.

A different sort of day here - we have taken on new staff for the first time in over 40 years!
Disconcertingly I am old enough to be her grandmother.
I'm still the Big Chief in charge of all things financial/clerical/record keeping/catering.

Posted on 18/01/2017 09:19 by milliehullWashing machine mechanic came yesterday. He looked at though he should still be in school. He fiddled around a bit and said that he thought it had been a 'glitch' in the circuit board but all was now fixed. I am not convinced. I did one load yesterday and shall do another today to see how things go.

Posted on 20/01/2017 00:33 by DavidKlyneManaged to achieve something today that has taken 10 years!!! Actually purchased new lounge furniture, just hope we have made the right decision!!! When Margaret retired 10 years ago one of her main objectives was the replace our already old Parker Knoll suite. After a while you go furniture blind and just can't make up your mind. I don't think it was a new year's resolution but decision time seemed to accelerate immediately after Christmas. Always good to cross something off the list that has been there some time.

David, we had our Parker Knolls for fifteen years and 12 months ago did exactly what you have done. We eventually bought a 2 seater sofa and 2 chairs in a set. They were extremely comfortable .... for the 15 minutes we sat in them in the shop and still are but only for the first 15 minutes. We then end up with back ache.
After putting up with it for a full year we've decided to cut our losses and buy 2 new chairs and if the guests don't like sitting in the 2 seater they can leave any time after 15 minutes!
New chairs arrive next Wednesday. Fingers crossed as it's an expensive business. Explained the position to a hospice about the chairs being new but uncomfortable for us and they said they wanted them as everyone is different so that's where they're going.
