What's on your agenda for today?

Not a whole lot planned for the day, maybe make use of a gift card I received for my B-day to Ross, I could use some new beach gear for an event I was invited to attend on Sat at the beach. I'm a little antsy about attending the event, but, I've made up my mind to just do it, go that is. I would like to find a lighter weight towel and swimwear cover-up, so, I leave here in search in a minute. I was going to wait till next Tuesday to get the senior discount, but, I need it now and didn't go this past Tuesday because I had work being done in the kitchen which turned out to be an all day annoyance of banging and what have you, I've never seen a plumbing issue take so long to repair, I'm pretty sure it was something to do with the entire drainage system along the wall and nothing from my end. They really never did explain the problem, but, they had better not come back later with a bill. They still have to repaint the under cabinet after the mess they made.

Well hope you all have a nice weekend, I need to get myself in gear before I end up wanting to go back to bed, I didn't rest well last night, lots of constant eye openings seeing the clock numbers move in 1 and 2 hour increments.
 

Hi Annie, I am shy in front of groups of people. I love to play, but not very comfortable leading strangers in group activities. I hope you enjoy Beltane.

As a wild child I just figured you were very outgoing. I was a very shy child and got more outgoing as I aged, but I don't do anything in front of groups. Maybe if I was drunk. :eek:nthego:
 
Thank you. I'm really trying to get some pep in my step to get out of here, if not for tomorrows event and party, I'd just go back to bed.

I have the same problem lately, April, on the wanting to crawl back in my bed.....Have fun at your event.

Today I'll get a card in the mail for son's birthday and then I need to get serious about packing for my trip.....two grandkids coming tomorrow to help me in the yard, I've been having hip pain for several weeks, trying not to think about what this is could lead to..:(
 
April, have fun at the beach. Just before I checked in here I was looking online for beach coverups.

Jackie, hope your hip feels better!

Thank you, Jackie. So sorry to hear about your hip pain, I do hope it won't interfere with your enjoyment of the grandkids visiting. What a wonderful thing to have the grands coming for a visit, I would love that and to help you out around the yard no less, how fantastic. Hope you feel better.

Well, I'm off to shower and get ready to head out before I seriously get too comfortable in this seat and then start thinking more about dozing off. LOL

Till later, have a good one all.
 
Had my yearly "mammo-cram" this morning. They kept calling me back from the waiting room for more squeezes and finally did a sonogram. I was sweating bullets, but everything was OK. I'm particularly sensitive about this as my daughter's breast cancer has reemerged in her other breast.....she's having her surgery on Monday. Prayers would be appreciated for a good outcome.
 
Prayers are on the way jujube for a good outcome for your daughter. :love_heart: In spite of my lapsed status, I occasionally like to do the 'Mother of Perpetual Help novena prayer' when need arises. So far so good. If you don't know it, it can easily be found online.

Jujube - I feel a lot of empathy for you, especially vis-a-vis your daughter's recurrence of cancer, because my daughter had breast cancer last year and I never felt so scared. We both send hugs and prayers to her and hope the surgery is a great success. So thankful that your exams came out negative!!
 
Jujube, thinking positive thoughts for your daughter that her surgery goes well and she's cancer-free in no time.

Today was the event all about Downton costumes called Dressing for Drama. It was so interesting and I enjoyed every minute of it. And...would you believe, she said...I forgot all about taking pictures!:(


The weather has finally warmed up so that it's like spring in the South again. No rain expected between now and Friday next week. Yay! Tomorrow I'm going to play in the garden all day...or until it gets too hot to stay outside, whichever comes first.

No pictures??!! Sorry, but you'll have to be punished! :hit:
 
Jujube I'm very happy to hear that your mammogram was clear .

However you must be worried sick about your daughter, I join everyone in praying for the best outcome for her tomorrow..




No pictures Georgia ?....what, what , what??? beat her for me as well Annie...then I can't get the blame.. :D

Glad you had a great time tho' Georgia..

Nothing planned for today, it's pouring of rain

On friday I spent a fortune, so I'm scared to go out anywhere in case I have to spend any more money..:D LOL

Seriously tho'..I took the car for it's annual service..that cost £125, (which included new oil change , oil filter, air filter etc) then it needed new spark plugs £40.00 and some anti-roll bar droplinks ,£28.99 a new lower gearbox mount £67.85, a fuel filter £12.00 all fairly minor things but with added 90 minutes labour charge of £84 plus Tax @ £52.37...it all came to too much money *sigh*.. Still it's worth it to ensure my car is safe .

Then on the same day I had to pay over £500 for our holiday apartment that we've had to rent near our daughter in Spain because she has no room to put us up.......so I'm not going out anywhere, in case I'm mugged for the penny I've got left in my purse.. :playful:;)


Nothing planned for today
 
Holly, I know about money on a car! Our car is a 2003 that we bought new and only has 80K miles on it, but we just took it in for it's MOT and service last month. Since we only had put 2,500 miles on it the previous year our mechanic said it didn't need a full servicing though he did the basics. It needed a few things fixed though. The bill was £500! Ouch. He asked me if we were thinking about getting another car soon as so many things are starting to go wrong (it's a citroen xsara picasso). So I think next year when our MOT is due we'll trade it in for a used car.

We've also been buying airline tickets the past couple of months - US and Thailand. So £££££££.

When we visit stepdaughter's family in Inverness we always stay at a hotel because they don't have room for us and they wonder why we don't visit more often. Now they've bought a sofabed so from now on we'll stay with them.
 
Yes I know Annie money just disappears at certain times of the year like water doesn't it.? The reason I have to have a full service every year is because if I have full cover with the AA which includes them paying for the repair of my car instead of me if for example the chassis was to drop off , instead of just towing me home or to the nearest garage. That costs about over £400 + per year for both cars but the specification for that is that the car must have a full service from a garage every year and the book stamped as proof.

Yes we've also just bought flight tickets and paid for car hire for our trip to Spain as well..not as expensive as Thailand of course but still a sizeable chunk of ££££ on top of the apartment rental.

My daughter has a little 2 bed, one bath casita on her property which we used to stay at when we went to visit, but now she has live in staff in there so we can't use it and the only spare room she has in her 200 year old farmhouse Casa has been turned into an office for her business so there's nowhere for us to bed down there..so we have to rent accommodation. Actually it suits us better because we like to be near the coast and she is wayyy up in the mountains about 30 minutes drive from the coast so apart from the cost it's more comfortable for us to be in a rental.
