Hi Dita and all

[Penny]

Dita justto let you know Maisie has put on a longish reply. Thought you might like to catch up cheers Penny

Hi all - wow! I'm first today; there's unusual. Very grey and gloomy this morning but at least there's no fog hereabouts. OH has gone to an appointment with a dietician re his weight problem but I can't see what she/he is going to say except to consume less and do more. I'd certainly find it hard to cope if he was told to follow a rigid diet sheet and weigh everything etc. Meantime, I'm sitting with my feet up and LK on my lap while I drink my coffee before I let rip with the vacuum cleaner. I really hate housework but sometimes you just gotta do it!
Hope everyone is ok - hugs to all

[Penny]

Hi all, you lucky one today Andere.Just this second able to sit and look in. Hope your OH has good news although if like mine, waste of time trying to tell them to get off their B/side and do something. Hi Dita, and all. Hope everyone is OK after that dreadful weather yesterday. Off to Costco today. Need to top up. Take care all and have a good day. hugs and kisses all round for little ones. Wish I could give them all a big hug personally. cheers Penny

[dita]

Hi Penny and all, its a foggy day again. Popped into have a look at Maisie yesterday and will look again later. Have good shop I will catch you later. Take care xx all and hugs xx

Hi Penny, back as promised to find no one else has been on, meant to say Andere that as I have got older housework gets more and more boring I've never liked doing it but it was as much about a duty as anything and was happy to do it because I needed my family to feel proud of everything, now I don't think they really care about anything apart from their own environment much the same as I used to. Hope you didn't go too mad with the cleaner Andere. Bet you came back with lots of bird seed today Penny, we were going to go and have a mooch round M&S but the fog didn't clear so decided not to bother. Keep your chin up Penny and take care all xx Purrs for LK & Trixie xx

Morning Dita and all. What a boring old day again. Heavy rain all morning and very dull. Hugs and kisses all round for little ones, at least they can escape the sheer boredom of housework. Are we all browned off or is it the weather????. Number of envelope we get asking for subscriptions. Does everyone get these. Even worse this time of year. Did a very quick trip to Costco. Place overloaded with Xmas stuff. One of the offers is some Ten to Twelve foot high teddy bears. Can you credit it. How can children play with such. The mind boggles. Think I will hibernate till spring. Care to join me???. Take care and keep warm. cheers Penny

Oh dear - aren't we a bunch of miseries? It's wet and dark here, too. The rain came down so hard in the early hours that it woke me up and I thought there was a plumbing problem in the bathroom in my fuddled, sleepy state. Took a while to realise it was only the weather! One thing's for sure - the sheets I've just washed won't be hanging outside today! LK is currently snuggled up on my bed; she's been very affectionate all morning and following me from room to room, yowling at me and seems not to want me out of her sight ... not sure why.
OH has 6 further sessions with his dietician. They discussed food groups and nutrients yesterday and he's been told to go back next week with a "healthy shopping list". So he demanded my Waitrose delivery notes because he's sure they're full of healthy stuff!

I think I'd have been terrified by a ten-foot bear when I was a child! When my daughter moved into her first flat, she said she needed something to cuddle as she'd be living alone for the first time. I found a teddy on offer in a supermarket, about the size of the average 2-year-old. I bought it and wheeled it out to the car park seated in the trolley's child seat. The number of people who just stopped dead and did a double take when they saw this had me in fits of laughter ... (Daughter loves the bear and still has him 20+ years on).

Think I will hibernate till spring. Care to join me???.

Only if the gardener's going to be there as well!

Don't think what I wanted is going to work meaning 'why is Sam moving around so much' ??
Hi Penny and all, do not think we are having as much rain here in Lincs but the fog has been here all week, no wonder we are miserable 'no light'.
Teddies as big as all that cannot possibly be cuddly unless you are at least 8ft tall really doesn't make sense.
Both OH and myself have been inundated with begging letters from charities most have a pen, raffle tickets,2 greeting cards with envelopes or maybe coasters included, we just dump them in the bin, what a waste, occasionally have sent odd cards on only to get from a friend one similar back through the post doing the same thing. Keep smiling Penny and take care all xx

[Penny]

Great, will have a word with chappie and see if he had a friend. If not it will be three to a bed with me next door cuddling doggie and pussies who must of course join us. all in favour raise your skirts. cheers Penny

[dita]

You cheeky hussy Penny Mi thinks you are a wolf in sheep's clothing
Will have to have a word and see what punishment is proportional to the offence of peeping tom

[Penny]

ha ha. I did say I would sit Next Door. more keener on joining in but need a rest now and then and as chappie is here weekly I don' t want anyone to think I am selfish. Much nicer to share. Take care and be prepared... xxxx

Son-in-law bought Jade a BIG Teddy Bear some time ago. I think from the look on her face she was just a little bewildered !

He is used mainly as an arm chair now.

[ciderman_nz]

Never underestimate a Teddy Bear!

[Penny]

goodness me, lovely teddies. Can you now imagine another even taller. Cannot imagine what one could do with them. Hi Dita and all. dreadful weather today. Getting ready for shopping trip and awaiting call from son. catch you later. cheers Penny

[dita]

Cor! Blimey can't make up my mind if that's fear or elation on their faces Lacey, and as for the chess game it's easy to tell whose winning.
Hi Penny and all, horrible day, much too wet to raise my skirt that's certain, maybe change my mind if the sun shines. Enjoy your shop and lunch with your son may catch you later. Keep smiling Penny and take care all xx
