Thanks Katy, I did it 
so much quicker.
I know it was so incredibly annoying haha xx
Haha. This is where my idleness pays off. I havenāt experienced the problem to which you refer because I keep the forum tab open in the browser on my media tablet or use the app on my phone - (which is annoying to edit posts but thatās another story). 
Weāve just been to a Water Park that weāve not been to for months (years?). Had a windy walk (me) then a mugatea and a slice of carrot cake - one if our 5 a day 
- in the car watching the birds on the lake. A woman, mistaking my car for hers, despite it being a different make, shape and shade of grey, opened the front passenger door and was mortified when she saw me and then OH in the back. I laughed and offered her a mugatea. Sheās probably still cringing 
Oh my goodness how embarrassing haha were you and OH in the backseat??? Have laughed and laughed.
Ali you will be super pleased to know that you qualify for the silent choir, we perform all over benchland and are quite famous now xx
Or perhaps infamous?? Xx
Ooh Iād love that Katy! Jcj you do make me laugh, it always happens to you. Thank you for cheering me up after a tough day at school both of you. xx
No I wasnāt in the back seat. I was in the driverās seat. OH always sits in the back because heās a neurotic passenger! To be fair to the woman, she was chatting to another couple, who were de-booting and getting into another car, near ours, so she wasnāt really looking where she was going. I watched her approach. It was one of those wonderful moments when you knew what was going to happen. If Iād thought quick enough, I could have opened my door or something to alert her but we all had a good laugh so no harm done.
Welcome to the silent choir, Ali. We have an extensive repertoire including some specially adapted carols. The āuniformā is: ballgown in an obnoxiously vibrant colour; 40 fleeces (for negotiating all temperature situations/hot/cold flushes); tiara and doc martens - preferably purple and/or with sparkly adornments. You may, from time to time, be expected to dance, skate, synchronised swim or dive as the occasion demands.
And I hope your spelling is excellent for writing with sparklers. No, Katy, it definitely wasnāt me writing the rude words. 
This is my ballgown for the upcoming extravaganza!
As soon as I saw it I knew it had to be mineā¦xx
Am still cackling with laughter at you and OH in the backseat haha.
Ali I have no idea what we are singing or what the extravaganza will be, sometimes itās difficult to know as we are all singing silently and sometimes there is no script.
JCJ, we all know it was you xx
This is mine. Shall we have a silent choir concert and a silent, invisible fireworks display? We could cook alliburgers (definitely NOT Ali burgers 
) on the bonfire.
Oh my goodness JCJ, that is the most beautiful dress I have ever seen, you shall be gliding around the invisible firework display, no sparklers please, not with that dressā¦
Are the alliburgers invisible too?
Arrived home yesterday, early afternoon, it was great because went to supermarket first (essentials) then home. No chippie visit, am not enjoying just now at all. mmmmm
Had an appointment in town today, then went into a couple of charity shops, found a book that has just recently been released that I wanted to read so was very pleased, woo hoo!!
Dull here today but no rain, thank goodness, happy days xx
Hope you are enjoying the book, Katy.
Iām currently sitting in the car outside the U3a film club because, at last, heās decided to go. Iām keeping everything crossed that nobody looks at him funny or does anything to upset him. I so want this to work so that once a month he has somewhere to go and like minded people to talk to. 
We have some sunshine today. Wonderful after rain and grey skies for what feels like months. It is because I put my sandals away, yesterday, and got my boots out. Youāre welcome 
.
I went for a walk while he was in his film but, after replanting all my tubs this am, Iām worn out and my hips/a**e muscles hurt so I decided to come back and sit in the car.
Wish Iād brought a flask and some milk: I have emergency tea bags in the glove box! 
You can always chew on the teabag hahahaha.
Hope OH has enjoyed, you can be more organised next time, maybe visit cafe if there are any near.
Am going to have to buy a new phone arrrgh, just this week noticed battery is running out super quickly and pages keep freezing which is so annoying. Will check out tomorrowā¦
When at YDās bought some crisps ooh they were so tasty so went on the hunt today, no shops nearby had them!! Will check in town tomorrow.
Not started book yet, am also off on a jaunt soon so am keeping for journey etc. When are you off JCJ?
Have you had your hair cut? xx
Hair is chopped. She took quite a lot off because it was super tangly. Not sure I like it but it will grow back.
Iām off on my mini break a week on Monday. Ten days time. I canāt wait!! So excited. Trying not to worry about how OH and Nephew will get on. Keep telling myself itās not my problem.
He enjoyed the film yesterday but came out saying, āthere was nobody there who Iād be friends withā. Arggghh!! 
That. Is. Exactly. Your. Problem. It was the first week. You watched a film in silence. And if you were giving off that vibe, nobody will want to be friends!! 
Iām going away soon
Iām going aways soon
Iām going away soon.
Gorgeous sunshine today, although cold in the shade. It was so lovely, when I hung the washing out, that I went and made a coffee and brought it outside to sit in the sun. Pity the people at the back are playing music and revving a strimmer. 
Woo hoo for your time away not long now!
At least OH will be with someone he knows well, fingers crossed it works out and he loves it. Hopefully he will enjoy the cinema more next time and make friends.
Do have my new phone hurrah, just getting used to the new screen etc. Small booklet stated i should scan the code for a quick start. Ok so tried and tried and it wouldnt work so googled how do i do this?? 10 seconds later all starting to work properly love how google etc tells you everything haha or i would still be sitting waitingā¦
Rain on and off today but missed it every time hurrah that must be a first.
ED is off on holiday tomorrow kids are super excited xx
OH and nephew donāt know each other that well. We only get together for weddings and funeralsā¦ apart from a few family camping gatherings when the cousins were all young. But at least heās not a complete stranger.
Iām in the car waiting for OH who wants ā5 minutes on the piano before we go.ā That was 10 minutes ago and I hate that piano! Tempted to just go shopping without him. This time next weekā¦ā¦oh. Iāll be on my way back home.
Trying to finish knitting my cardi so I can wear it on my mini break. Weather looks promising but probably not very warm.
New Internet tomorrow so if I disappearā¦! 
Openreach are telling me to plug in the new router by 8am but broadband telling me to wait until old BB stops working. Iām confused 
. I hope BB stops nearer to 8am than midnight and the dilemma will be solved.
Still waiting for OH. I knew it wouldnāt be ā5 minutesā
Are you still waiting in car???
Or did you finally manage to get your shopping?
Well, they will either get on very well or he will never suggest he can come againā¦lets hope they are fine.
Went into town today, did plan to go in tomorrow but thought will just get it over and done with. Halfway down the road realised why i had planned for Thursday, to pick up prescriptions arrgh. Went into chemist and they said if i could come back in 1/2 an hour they would be ready woo hoo!!
Its very cold here brrr.
Hope all works well with broadband, fingers crossed. Xx
