Your boots sound just the job for the winter weather. No snow left here now and has been raining much of today. Had a good weekend with my friends and won 3rd prize in the raffle at the Golf Club meet and greet today (did not know I was going until this morning when they mentioned it). We bought tickets on arrival and the draw was made. Lovely Christmas hamper so will be able to share this with family. It was fun trying to get everything into my small suitcase and backback ready for the train trip home but managed just fine.
Fingers crossed it will be good news when you hear back from the GP about your results and you can enjoy the Christmas period without things playing on your mind too much. I have to fit in a visit to Mum, my two work shifts and will spend a little time at hubby's resting place before going up to be with the family. Such mixed emotions.

Delighted to read that your results were fine and that you can now enjoy Christmas with your daughter and other members of the family on Boxing Day, letting the country pub take the strain mealwise. I am just waiting for my son in law to pick me up and will be back Boxing night as have work the next day.
Visited Mum and left her gift with the staff ready for Christmas Day 'Santa' rounds and also left flowers at hubby's place of rest. Will go again on anniversary of his passing on 3rd January.
Now looking forward to enjoying the festive break with family and friends. The family has always loved this time of year and my hubby did too. So grateful we have good times to remember and now plan on making new memories to continue the journey just as he would have wished for us all.
Take care Syl and wish you and your family a happy and healthy Christmas and 2018. Jules xx

I know it's a sad time of year for a lot of people who have lost loved ones I had a cry yesterday as it was hubbies birthday I kept wondering what we would have done if he had been here.I'm at my daughter's again tomorrow she is doing a buffet am looking forward to that,New year's eve will but a little buffet up for my self have a few drinks and watch the telly till midnight then off to bed I prefer to be on my own even though the kids and my sister would like me to be with them I like being on my own I can reminisce about things and remember the good times. just going to put the kettle on to make a coffee have a good new years eve hope you and your family have a good and peaceful new year regards Syl x
Pleased you enjoyed your Christmas. I too had a nice time with the family and lots of fun playing board games with my grandsons. Was the first time my sister in law had joined us for the festivities since hubby died so a milestone for her too. My son bought me home Boxing night as I had work the next day and am slowing getting back to normal routine. Back to the gym yesterday and will go again this morning before popping into town as my electric kettle packed up last night and no fun heating the water on the hob every time I fancy a cuppa!
It's pouring with rain here just now so doubt I will go for a long walk and really am missing them. No snow for us over the Christmas and has now warmed up quite a bit so only need fire on low for a couple of hours.One minute it's layers on and then off again; wish it would make it's mind up what season we are in ha ha.
Usual quiet New Year and like you will spend it watching the tv or a film. I am very often up until midnight anyway so no change there! Probably visit Mum New Year'sDay if no change. There has been a lot of colds and sickness bugs around at work so have kept my distance as do not want to carry anything into the vulnerable residents.
Wishing you a peaceful New Year and 2018. Take care. Jules xx
Hi Jules, glad you had a nice Xmas and new year ,I also had a nice Xmas with the family ,I saw new year in on my own which is what I wanted I had a little buffet a couple of drinks. I finished off with a Irish coffee me and hubby bought them every year there very Moorish went to bed after watching the fireworks in London on the T V . I'm glad everything back to normal now , I wonder what 2018 will bring maybe it's best we don't know.went my exercise class Tuesday there was only 10 of us there normally there is 20 or30 think everyone must still getting over the festive season ,I didn't even go to my swimming aerobics class on the Tuesday night it was raining and I couldn't. be bothered getting ready. the weather here has been awful as well nothing but rain sometimes it doesn't even get light properly puts years on you ,let's hope it changes in a couple of week.have a nice weekend I haven't anything planned as far as I know regards Syl x
I have just returned from a weekend with my daughter and family. A spot of child minding on Friday evening so they could have a meal out in peace. Then on Saturday all day mum/daughter shopping trip which was lovely. This morning we all stood on the sidelines as my eldest grandson had rugby training......plenty of clothing layers required as was freezing. Great to see him getting into sport and we had a quick cafe lunch before they dropped me at the station for trip home. Am now comfy by the fire ready for an evening of relaxing tv.Hope you had a pleasant weekend and hope the weather is kinder to you this coming week. Take care. Jules xx
Hi Jules, glad you had a nice weekend with your daughter and grandchildren and you had a nice shopping trip as well ,the weather here has not been to bad have managed to take George out every day this week,started my swimming aerobics today not managed to start my Tuesday night one yet, I get watching the T V and I don't feel like moving maybe will start again when the weather warms up a bit. my friendship group starts again on Monday it seems ages since I was there,it's something to look forward to again, I think I'm getting a cold I've been sneezing all morning I have bought some paracetamol tablets and lozenges for my throat hope I can shake it off before Monday.have a nice weekend regards Syl x
It takes a while to get back into routine after the festive break but am more or less back on track now as have returned to my walking and gym sessions. Glad you and George have benefitted from dryer days. Think the dark evenings put me off doing much once I am indoors.Roll on Spring and then I can spend more time in the garden. Mind you I already have daffs in bud!!
Not much planned for this weekend as the electrician is supposed to be popping in tomorrow morning as am hoping to get the first floor re-wiring arranged. I am meeting a friend for a curry night on Sunday so looking foward to that.
Hi Jules, haven't done much my self this week I ended up with a heavy cold dosed my self up with cold remedies and cough sweets, managed to go swimming which was ok ,also went my exercise class but my heart wasn't in it.feel a lot better now just in time for my first friendship group on Monday, we had a auction of our unwanted Xmas presents we made 20 pound for the kitty. the weather is still cold at the moment and we have had quite a bit of rain as well. roll on spring at least the night's are coming a bit lighter now, hope you enjoy your curry,I don't mind a nice curry as long as it's not to hot .I'm at the cream tomorrow with my sister as it's my dad's birthday so will put flowers in his plot then we will go for a coffee in the pub near by. haven't got anything planned for the weekend have a nice weekend regards Syl x
