Good Morning everyone!

It's supposed to be a rainy one out here today. I'm up early again for a doctor's appointment


I may start dragging out some of my Fall decorations later, the temperatures have certainly been saying it's here


Aaron is working from home today, so maybe I can talk him into eating out tonight.

Have a great day!

The cats house, we just pay the mortgage..
Afternoon everyone

Karen I hope you get to go out for dinner! We are having fajitas tomorrow night when Mark comes home! I can't wait

Well its such a dull day here. I thought I was up too early when I got out of bed and it was so dark outside. Huge difference between yesterday and today.
I'm not too upset about the cold weather arriving though because it means it will soon be Christmas!
and I will be in my new house!
For those who don't know, Mark and I just bought our first house together

Although I doubt anybody (apart from my SS) will be getting any gifts this year as it will be a tight one!
Off to the gym tonight then early night me thinks!
Sarah, how did the inspection go?

Good Morning Ladies!! I went to see my sweet angel niece last night after work. She has the whole family wrapped around her little finger!! Even grandpa who doesn't like babies until they can walk and talk is head over heels for that sweet girl!

This morning my foot is hurting really bad. I am starting to believe its fractured. I hurt it like 2 weeks ago bike riding. My foot hit a small stump in the trail. Its slightly swollen and it hurts to put pressure on it or move my toes or anything. I don't want to go to the doc though cause I don't want to go to Orlando in a cast!
If it doesn't feel better by monday then I am going in.

Afternoon all!


A dull damp and dreary day here in the Land of Manc - guaranteed really as I have a load of wet washing waiting to go on the line!


It feels like I've been on the phone all morning sorting out one thing and another, my ear is burning!
Still more calls yet too!

After we lamb basted her for being late and not reading our agreement about the cats, she was pretty quick! I was so angry though as she made us late for leaving for our appointment and said 'oh well, the cats seem to be quite nice and don't seem to be making a smell'!!!!!

Other than that, I think everything was fine!


Rental inspections really do bug me!
Bet you're sorry you asked now, lauren?

Over an hour late, you have every right to be annoyed Sarah.


I woke up this morning to a telemarketer calling at 7:15am!!, I understand everyone has to make a living but that's too early!

Sydney has already kept me busy this morning. I turned on the computer and went to fix myself a cup of tea and when I came back into the room there is Miss. Sydney boo sitting on my laptop's keyboard. She messed it up so good it took me half an hour to fix the settings she had keyed in


Today I have to do about 4 loads of laundry, go to the pet store and do some other running around.

I'm so excited about tomorrow though, I'm going to pick up the professional pictures from the wedding!
I can't wait to share them with you


Have a great Thursday all!

Daft, isn't it?

Oh nice, 7:15 am?!! I agree they need to make a living, but do they really expect someone wanting to talk to them at that time in the morning?


Awww, Miss Sydney is learning to be a computer wizz!
Amazing how they seem to find shortcuts for things you didn't even know existed!


Oooh, I can't wait to see your professional pictures, Tracy!

Waking up to a foggy but the sun is trying to burn off.
Slept about 3 hrs last night as for some reason my lower back is sore/tight. I Finally out out of bed at 1:30 after tossing and turning even with a heating bad and pillow under my knees-watched some TV and went "back" to bed at 3 am!!
As today is our wedding anniversary it wasn't a good way to start. DH got me a card and some breakfast treats (so far!!) Tonday is my tomato/basil run so I have to by him a card yet and some small treats as his anniversary gift will be me no fainting when I find out how much the tractor restoration has cost to date!!
But good news, a got a small landscape job tomorrow-cross fingers that back is better and a larger one that I have been wanting since spring!!! I just need the soil to dry out a bit before I can start.
Some errands today and dinner out tonite.

I agree Sar how annoying that you had to wait an hour!!
If a telemarketing called at 7:15-grrrr do you have a do not call list like we have in the states??

Well, I'm a little stiff and sore this morning. Lost my balance and fell last night. This makes number 3. Landed in a gravel parking lot and skinned the left elbow and shin. The elbow is especially sore and bruised.

Anyway, it will be a quiet day at home, waiting for the sun to shine again.

Good morning all! Looks like our weather has cleared up here, after about 4 inches of rain. sigh.... on top of what Ernesto left us! I think the drought is over


Sar, I would be NUTS of someone showed up that late! My philosophy - if you are not 15 minutes early, you are late.

Also looking forward to Tracy's pics.

Hope all those injuries heal up soon. I did read recently where cats purring emits the same tone as the machines doctors use to help bones heal faster, so maybe all us cat lovers knew something all along! Hug a cat, heal your bones!

Sending many 'healing' and 'stay upright' }}}VIBES{{{ your way!
Yeah, I gotta stop throwing those tantrums. Rather unattractive for a 49 year old.

Remind me to be VERY organised if I'm meeting you then!

So long as you get what you want with them, Jan!
Not just a sore bum!


I hope some hunky men were around to help you up!

Do you think your balance could be off now? I might have the Doc look into that the next time you go in for a check up. I hope you feel better soon!

You something? I'd have called them back and told them not to bother coming because I was leaving for another appt that they'd made me late for.
Then tell them to reschedule it for another time. That's unprofessional.
I even leave notices for our renters when someone is due to come inspect the house so that they know we will be in there. And the inspector is never late. If he is, I am the one who deals with it and boy he would hear about it.
I never inspect our rental( although since cleaning out this renters stuff, maybe I should a little more. The things I found....
)
since it's right next door, and if I have a problem or they do, they can knock on our door.

Anyway not to much going on here today. DH is working (it's his day off) and then going bowling. I'm off all day and well, I guess we aren't going to do anything this time around.

Time to deep clean the house I guess. It surely could use it.

Have a great day everyone.

nothing much on the agenda for today, I have to schedule my follow up appointment with my therapist today and DH found a job in the paper that might be perfect for him. So he's going to call that today.

We are worried that our 6 year old might have a bad day at school cause she had a bad morning....


My MIL is watching our son. Until we go upstairs (which will be soon cause I'm starving).


Otherwise....not much going on here.
