Polly Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Ironing ? Nooooo! Wedding shopping? Lovely! We had daughter & small grandson for this glorious weekend. Both days were out in the perfect weather, they included picnics, merecats, balance bike riding, duck feeding, tadpole scrutiny, a cat coming for a walk with us and much swing and sandpit action. Lovely! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Came to the boat yesterday intending to stay for about 10 days unless the weather gets too awful and drives us home. Apologies in advance for any peculiarities in my posting .It's likely as I' m at the mercy of the tablet when on the boat and it has a mind of it's own.

Gracie Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Carole you most certainly are not peculiar, anyone says otherwise and I'll scratch their eyes out Have a lovely time, hope the weather stays good for you Grace 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bound2Please Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Darlin Carole is peculiar as she has an "E" on the end of her name and that dam "E" causes me to have to keep editing posts that I mention Carol in. The weather will stay fine Carole as I will set Gracie on it wont I darlin if it decides other wise. Charlie xx xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 what a day - up early to run daughter to work (bank holiday timetable = 1 hour early to work or 5 minutes late.) that was 30 miles. later this morning call from my dad - his laptop has stopped working, back again to Ashford, still there when daughter finished work, so picked her up on the way home. dad has new laptop, (the old one wasnt even getting as far as powering on, just the green light) now I have to go back sunday to recover his stuff off the old drive, plus load the software he uses back on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie xx xx Sorry about the "e" Charlie odd thing is that when I had my daughter, because the "e" kept being left off my name , I called her Tracy without and people put an "e " in you just can't win!

Gracie Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 My day to day is going to be a duvet day, chilling with the kids, munching pop corn and probably watching one of the Star Wars movies for what seems like the 100th time Yesterday had family over, the Aunt (the one that hates boats, quite mad) asked me "Are you still silly about rivers? I thought you would have grown out of that at your age" After trying to explain to her that Broadland was in my very soul, she still proceeded to tell me about the delights of a week in Spain and how I would enjoy that so much more Grace 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbo Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Here's a typical day...beagles,tablets, computers, boat, NBN, filming, woodwork, coffee, beagles, tablets. I fit all of these in between taking Ellie to work, picking her up for lunch, taking her back to work, picking her up from work and going shopping. All of this is interspersed by me asking 'what day is it?'. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 after the third visit, my dad is back up and running with a new windows 10 laptop, loaded up with the software he prefers (publisher 98 and office 2000) after getting half the software and his old files on, I went to change the drive in my sata drive caddy, and I hear a pop, the power adapter had blown, thus there I was with a disc of software I couldnt access, so after a trip home yesterday, a further trip was needed this morning to sort out the last few programs so he can edit his photos, the added bonus being that all this was done with no internet access as he has a laptop, but doesnt connect it to the internet. result - where has the bank holiday weekend gone to?

BroadAmbition Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Earlier this week I had to lift floor tiles from a neighbours kitchen floor, clean off adhesive etc in readiness for her having a new kitchen fitted, on completion of that I will put down a new tiled floor for her. The lady owner of the house is away on holiday at present so after I had finished I sent her a cheeky text as per:- Hi Sue - Hope the holiday going great. Right then, I estimated 6 x Hrs to get your tiled floor up and cleaned, well it took me 3 x Hrs in total so your invoice will be halved. I have been in your knicker drawer - Impressive! Drank all your steak and eaten all your beer LOL xxx Her reply:- Hey Super star! Brill Charlie, thank you very much. You'd best not have messed with the gold silk knickers and tiara, they match my Wonder Woman outfit LOL. Hope the beer was tender and the steak pretty cool. Off to the bar in a mo, need another Stella to cool down. This place is fabulous. Thanks again!! xx Cracking reply was that eh? Doing my mundane job of wall / floor tiling is made so much more rewarding when I'm dealing with clients that have a sense of humour and know how to smile!
