:wavey: morning Dawnie hope you and Andy are both well today Sorry I wasn't about yesterday had a busy day yesterday with the walking and with going to Maths Day at Charlie's school. NOt my strongest subject but I managed :bighug: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[dabhand]

Morning Jackie

Maths isn't my subject either, I loath doing my accounts
You should ask Sarah, she's the clever cloggs...

 

[JackieN]

The worst thing Dawnie was it was very simple maths yet my brain doesn't work it all out quickly enough :giggle: whoops.

How are you today lovely? x

 

[dabhand]

Not too bad thanks Jackie, Andy is a little brighter today.

Had the boiler man in this morning which just cost £75 for a service and bits! it's all pay out at the minute

Hope you are feeling a bit brighter this morning...

 

[Monkey_Monkey_Underpants]

I'll come over & do your accounts.

(For a suitable fee....)

Cake is ALWAYS suitable as a fee, in my opinion!

 

[Monkey_Monkey_Underpants]

Up for the 450 today, Spudster?

 

[JackieN]

Good to hear Andy is brighter Dawnie thats fab

Life just throws this stuff at us doesn't it!! Not getting a good nights sleep makes us feel down too.. I hope you get a better night tonight. Walking is good -so they say - I haven't left the house for ages, just a quick walk round the garden.......Like a teddy bear lol.......

 

[JackieN]

That must be hard Dawn Having said that until a couple of months ago I stayed home ie not wanting to go out because I chose too I'm glad I am now over that phase

It must be hard for you and Andy not being able to get out. Is there a timescale to this? Is there a point when you should be able to again soon? :bighug: xxxxxxxxxx

 

[dabhand]

It's just a matter of waiting to see how he picks up. We know it wont be for a few months or so but he will be getting better slowly. He is mainly just so fatigued bless him. After recuperation we don't know how long till it rears it's ugly head again. In the meantime he will have to have 'stays' in hospital to deal with infections etc. but we are positive about getting life back to normal as soon as we can.

Hi all,

It's been a funny old day.. I've been back in my workshop for the first time since before Christmas. It seems really strange to be in there again. I have been working in my office in the house doing bookings, accounts, paperwork etc but not making stuff. Andy had a sleep on the bed while I went to work for a couple of hours. I have got to get back in the swing of things as the craft fair season is looming and my outlets are asking for stock. I am lucky to have my workshop in the garden so I can see to Andy and work at the same time. I did think about joining Sarah in her 'Walk to Work' campaign but I timed it and it only takes 8 seconds :8855::8855:
No wonder I'm not losing weight lol.........

Anyway......

BREAKFAST

Porridge HEX B
Milk HEX A

LUNCH

Toast/ Cloverlight 7 syns ??

DINNER

Beef casserole with Dumplings Syns ??

 

[JackieN]

:8855: love it, hey Dawnie why didn't I think of that I could have joined her in the 'walk to work' rather than the 200 miles and I only have about 8 steps to work too :8855: silly me :giggle:

What have you been making my lovely ?

 

[dabhand]

Hi Jackie

I make Handmade Soaps, Candles and Natural Skincare.

I also do other crafts when time allows..

 

[JackieN]

ooooooo how lovely I love stuff like that I love making things Dawnie. Always have I've done jewllery making, glass painting you name it xxxxxxxxxx

 

[Monkey_Monkey_Underpants]

I think you're both mean.

I'm not sure how many steps it is to work. I am wearing the pedometer these days, but I keep forgetting to check it at both ends of my "commute".
But it's 23 minutes' brisk walking.
I expect you could both get to work and back a zillion times while I just got there once.

Mind you, I wouldn't want my boss to be either 8 seconds or 8 paces away!
8 continents would be better.

 

[Monkey_Monkey_Underpants]

Approximately 3,100 paces.

Just a leeeeeeetle bit further than you two, then!

 

[JackieN]

I walked to work today did you Dawnie :8855:

not many more steps than us then Sensible Sarah :8855:

Morning Dawnie, hows things for you today my lovely ? x
