Lol Had ww this morning and then went for breakfast with a few of them from there, was not home before gone 1pm. OH ex was still here today so we spent the afternoon and early evening with her, we took her back to the hotel at 8 and now home OH watching football and I sorting out some e-mails and writing on blogs. Tomorrow I want to cut out for some cards I just must get together if they shall be sent in time. I hope you all had a good Sunday and the week ahead wont be too hard, too stressful or too painful. have a good night everyone.

She was supposed to go to converless after her op. No mention of that, nor of a care package. So she came home with us for two weeks. Social services were shocked that no one had been to her house to see what it was like before they sent her home. Her house is think the 1940's with steep steep stairs. It fair made my blood boil.

Now sat watching the snooker. Pete is still chomping at the bit as he wants to get on the garden. We have a lovely ng garden but it needs dragging before he can start planting. Pete still thinks he can just go digging. He forgets that he's getting older and can't do as much as he used to. I've done the lawns and he cut most of our long hedge. But even that is a chore now. He's been on about taking some of it up and replacing it with a fence. I bet he wishes he'd done it a lot sooner now.<br />No crafting this week unless we meet up on Wed instead of Tuesday. We should hopefully be going back to Wed soon.

What a lovely selection...Hello Sandra and everyone,<br />What a lovely selection of challenge cards this week, mine was a very rushed card. The embossing folder cost the princely sun of £2 from The Works, I'm really pleased with it the basket weave looks realistic and even better when I inked the EF, the Lace flowers were £1 also The Works. <br /><br />KAREN, Have a lovely time at Oscars party. You are allowed to be emotional, HAPPY because you have this gorgeous little man in your life, and SAD for those you wish could be sharing this time with you. Sending you gentle caring hugs. xx<br /><br />LILLIAN, Enjoy playing with your new toy and time in the garden ....... if you can drag yourself away. I'm going out in the garden, I have lots of tomatoes in the greenhouse that need potting on, also some bedding plants to sort out. Could be out there a long time.<br /><br />Take care everyone, Hugs, Brenda xxxBrenda https://www.blogger.com/profile/14121800821999942200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-84252428288811421912017-04-23T12:05:33.020+01:002017-04-23T12:05:33.020+01:00Hi Sandra and all.

I'm so glad I made my card on Easter Monday when I had some free time as i certainly haven't had any at the end of this week.<br /><br />Dad was quite chatty. The nurse on duty explained that he wasn't very steady using the crutches so the Physio wasn't too happy. They'll assess him again today but he might need to stay in another day, which I find amusing considering they said on Friday that they wanted him out this afternoon despite them knowing he lives alone & that they hadn't sorted out a care package (which they could do until at least Monday)!! <br /><br />We went out for a meal last night with my brother & sister in law to the Indian restaurant which was lovely and they paid for everything as a treat to us!!! We went to the wine bar for a drink but I was almost asleep by then so we didn't stay long. <br /><br />Ironing & some gardening to do today then I'll visit my Dad this evening and see how mobile he's been today.<br /><br />Michele PharmacyMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04613583130557825327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-812767567322549482017-04-23T07:19:20.156+01:002017-04-23T07:19:20.156+01:00Morning Everyone

The temp is a little low but if it matches yesterday it will warm up quickly to a very warm day.<br /><br />Not sure what's on the cards for today but something will pop it's head and shout. It always does.<br />I'm not sure where my CC card has got to but as we all know anything can happen in cyber space lol.<br /><br />There are breakfast goodies waiting for you all in the Café and a beautiful cream sponge cake for later in the day. <br />HUGE HUGS to you all and have a good Sunday.xxxxjanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769057785697422382noreply@blogger.com
