Good Morning Lovely Ladies
and Hello November
Well November for me begins my 'Countdown to Christmas'. Time to start 'Spring Cleaning' ready to put up decorations and tree on the 1st of December and to start thinking about who is getting what for Christmas (it was so much easier when kids were little, I'd have most of it on lay by at the mid-year toy sales). So I need to form a plan to tackle EVERY ROOM 'room by room', floor to ceiling, furniture moved and all. Probably won't make big strides on it today, but I can start to plan.
So the weather is pretty warm here. Time to get 'Load a Day' in the machine and maybe get out for my morning walk before it gets too hot outside and before DS21 comes for his pre-golf (gets a lift from here) visit. Not sure if we are 4 or 6 for dinner tonight, so I think I'll make a batch of Spag Bol (Dukan style). I think there might even be a swim for me today. Might even blow up a pool float and have a little float and read while I'm the only one here, sounds very peaceful.
Wishing you all a Superb Saturday and a Wonderful Weekend.

Good Morning Shellie and those to come
Today is going to be hot, so trying to get work done before it gets too hot.
BIL, SIL and nieces are coming over this afternoon for a visit, so that will be good.
Have a great Saturday

Good afternoon ladies Enjoy some lazy time by the pool Shellie. Have you read the Rosie project? Good light book esp if you like the Big Bang theory. Medusa sorry to hear you had a bad day the other day, hope everything goes to plan to day. Elasti- have a great day too! We are away this long weekend and even though we are heading north the weather is still cold . We are staying at DFs farm. DH enjoys getting out and helping and I'm enjoying some reading and relaxing lol. All this talk of Christmas- well I've bought my Christmas cards and will make a start when I get home . I've bought 3 of the 4 girls a medium sized/cost present. I've bought 1 daughter main present. I need to get onto it as we are going away before Christmas and our gift giving will be earlier this year- it's giving me a headache , I'm thinking of asking DD29 if we can do the dinner at her house so I don't have to decorate this year as we are going to a restaurant with my extended family and I had DHs family last year so not my turn again. And I won't have time to take everything down before I go back to work Have a Great Weekend Everyone - even if it's not a long one lol x x
