Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven


Morning everyone,

Well mum's home so fingers crossed everything will be ok.

Got her one of those pendants that register and report falls which hopefully we never need.

Whilst I was in hospital our local tree surgeon who is a lovely fella rang me and asked if I wanted a truckload of bark chipping. I said yes because I use them all over the garden as a mulch / weed suppressant.

Asked him to dump it in the usual place but came home to find that he's dumped 3 loads and I can't now access the back gate. So you can guess what I will be doing this weekend. @blue1948 think a 4ft high snow drift but you can't use your blower 😂.

Well hopefully my back lasts long enough to clear a path at least.

Whatever you do have a lovely day everyone.
Great news about your mum. My mum had one of those pendants where you press it if you need help, after much persuasion. She kept pressing it accidentally and you’d be in the living room and this loud crackly voice would boom from the hallway “Doris! Doris! are you alright love or have you pressed it by accident again”. It was quite funny especially the first time it happened when she just looked at me puzzled and said can you hear somebody shouting me.
Look after your back.
 
I was looking at a recipe, apparently they need to be picked away from verges, parks and anywhere else that might have been sprayed with chemicals. I'll take 'em though, or maybe you might like to have a go ? The recipe :

You're welcome to them as long as you pay the p&p. I can cnfirm I haven't sprayed them with anything personally but I can't speak for my neighbour's cats that use my garden as a battlefield. :)
 
I've seen better line ups under Walter Smith 😂
I could have included Altered Images in that list, but I'm embarrassed to say that I loved them, plus I had a massive crush on Claire Grogan. This is the performance in question, which might possibly be the worse example of poor miming in the history of TOTP.:lol:


God that video is so of it's time it could be a parody.:lol:

That's wonderful news on your mum mate. 💙

Who doesn't love Claire? "I could be happy" - very happy in fact.

Bit like the Corrs when Andrea sang " What can I do to make you love me".......well let me think.....( sorry ladies not PC I know)
 
Hope you had a lovely tea at Charlotte’s. I’m having my time this morning as my d-i-l is going for an endoscopy later today so we made the assumption that she’ll not be up to much tomorrow. Poor thing has never truly recovered from the hyperemesis gravidarum she had throughout her pregnancy- it’s really messed her system up. 💙
Hope you had a lovely early Mothers Day morning and lots of cuddles for your first one as a Grandma.
Hope all went well for your d-i-l this afternoon and that they are able to get things sorted for her.💙
 

Hello everybody. I'm so glad your Mum is home @jazzy . We had a lovely time with Charlotte last night. She had made fajitas, nachos and Mexican rice. Mr F brought a doggy bag home.🤣 I bet you had a lovely morning @Val P . Your poor daughter in law - I hope she's OK. I have to say Charlotte has had a dream pregnancy, no sickness or any other problems. She looks great and will be finishing work on 13 April.
It's freezing today. Heating on. The weather forecast says it's getting warmer next week. I will hold them to that. Our IT system managed to creak its way through overtime. None of us could generate any letters but as that is the very last thing in the process we could work the cases up to that point. It was so slow and painful though.
Has anybody seen that KFC advert where the guy gets dipped in a lake of gravy, basically gets deep fried and turns into a piece of chicken. It's horrible and would totally not persuade me to seek out KFC. I think somebody needs to have a word with their marketing department.
The decorator has finished, the carpet fitters are coming on Wednesday so we are getting closer to moving. I reckon we'll be in in a couple of weeks. I'm getting excited now.
Enjoy the rest of your Saturday. I think a glass or two of Prosecco might be on the cards tonight.

Thanks, she’s back home now and has been referred to have her gallbladder removed. Today was about eliminating any other issues. I’m so pleased for Charlotte- you are all going to have the best time 💙
