Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Morning all, fine morning, moon shining, pic below doesn’t do it justice but you get the gist. Taking grandkids 3 & 4 to the Katherine of Aragon Festival at the cathedral today, I think it’s something that would appeal to your Cal @Barnfred 55. They are going out later with their other grandparents for tea and I am under instructions to make sure they don’t eat too much at dinner so a visit to their favourite pizza place is out of the question. They have asked for a meal deal from Greggs instead, they are nothing if not classy just like their Nanny lol .
Have a good day, all

Morning all on this lovely day when Im finally allowed to tell you what I’ve known since Christmas Day - I’m going to be a grandma and we’re all absolutely over the moon. I’ve been desperate to tell people. I’m just wondering how many major life events my son can fit into a 6 month period - my head’s in a whirl.
Have a great day all

Another late start on here for me ,I went to look at a car yesterday in an auction it was the same model as the one the day before but 60,000 kms less driven and at that time a quarter of the price ,so off I jolly well went .I got there 40 miles away and the guy was open to stopping the auction "as there was an unforeseen fault" the reserve was well below what the last one was so off I went on a test drive -the roads can be very bad here when it is around zero -On driving to the garage our 4wd was doing a four wheel drift - out I went and within ten metres I realised the 4wd wasn't working ,I checked and the flaming thing wasn't 4wd but it was good underneath which is a fault of Mazda cx-5's .So home again to rue the fact I am set on this model and I am yet to find the right one but all knowledge is good knowledge ,life is a learning curve.
Yes I have enquired about another that is 300 miles away !
I hope all are well and had a good night's sleep ,have a great day all COYB.
Oh I forgot the reason I am posting late is I have been fixing the snow blower ,it's primer button was having little effect so upon disassembling it I found the pipe had a hole so there was no suction ,therefore no priming the petrol! So now all is good .

Hi folks. I hope you ate all OK and looking forward to this afternoon 's offering from.the mighty blues. I've done overtime this morning- same again tomorrow and I've filled up the bird feeders.
However the biggest thing I've done is book an appointment with a personal stylist to help me choose something for the wedding. I'm now even more stressed than I was . I'm taking my old boss with me. Ig boss - head of our division.She's a very straight talking Yorkshire lass who will pull no punches if I look like a sack of spuds! She utterly terrified me when I used to butt heads with her as a Union rep. But in spite of all that I always thought I like you, I bet you're a good laugh on a night out. Do you ever meet people like that? Anyway she left last year and contacted me on Facebook. We've met up for lunch a few times and I'm pleased to say my judgement of her was exactly spot on. She's good company and very funny. The appointment is in March. I'll be eating dust from now until then

Has Mr F heard about the job?

Hello everybody. We had a lovely day in Nottingham yesterday. It was good to see them both. This will make you smile. Obviously there was lots of wedding talk. Daughter in law to be was showing me bridal magazines featuring ' real life weddings ' The following then took place Me: I don't like black bridesmaids. Son: That's a bit racist Mum.
It's very wet and windy here- much like everywhere. Daughter's boyfriend had to have his appendix out yesterday so that was a bit of a shock! He's OK though.
How's things @Vegas Toffee Girl. Hope the job is going well.
Have a good day all.

The job is going really well, but not slowing down! lol Thank you for asking! I had 2 more job duties added to an already busy day, so I've been doing (or trying to do) online training for them. A 3rd new task is waiting in the wings.

I'll try to pop in to say Hi on weekends. I hope everyone is doing well! I'll go to the basement later to catch up with everyone's goings on.

Have a great day all!!!

COYB!!!

Sounds busy. Glad you are still enjoying it.

Has Mr F heard about the job?

No. I don't think they want him. I'm not sure a balding 63 Yr old fits in with the image of a leisure centre/ Spa. Even if it is to be a handyman! It does annoy me though - if you've taken the time to attend an interview the least they can do is give you an outcome.
