Thanks to pollution 1 child out of 2 has an asthmatic episode..

On a happier note, Bea finished her puzzle!

Aria is flying to her croquettes dispenser..

I’m laying on the couch watching football after a morning of walking, shopping and cooking. Now daydreaming of the ice-cream van and 99 🍦🍫!

Have a nice weekend BLF friends xx

Cecilia and i used to do puzzles when she was laid up in bed,our favourite series where the Wasgij puzzles where you have to guess the picture which is related to the picture on the box but further on in time,i also have a 3d jigsaw puzzle which would send you back to your optical consultant like a flash with combined headache in tow Happy...........Retired puzzler Ski's and a cat that used to destroy them :) xx

Ah hope they are happy memories Skis, sorry if I brought you back in time my dear friend.

Wow sounds brainy, will leave that to Bea 😃

3D???No spectacles 👓 will solve that one I think but thanks for thinking of me lol., I’d rather see men in shorts running on the pitch ⚽️🥅.

That’s a shocking statistic Fran.

The puzzle looks great. Aria is lovely, and you have been very busy today. Glad you can rest.

Have a fun weekend. Xx 💕💖😘

Is that an ice cream man I hear? Xx 😀

in reply to sassy59

Yes I heard that on the news I was shocked Carole.

Thank you 😊 I’ll tell Bea 💕

They don’t have them here Carole, I should google and find out, they just seem to have those posh healthy Italian gelaterias where people queue for hours for a pistachio sorbet!!

Have a fun weekend too Carole xx

Wow what an amazing puzzle I'm impressed!😊.

Glad you're resting and taking things steady Fran. My girls love the icecream vans too...I used to joke they play the music when they've run out...😂 so cruel.

I have been on the sofa almost all day today too...must be a rest day😉

Lots of love for now xxx

in reply to breatheeasy1

Then I need giant puzzles for all my girls if it keeps them quite like that!😂

Yes I'm sure charlotte knew...and I usually gave in lol🍦.

Today I felt ill again, and some pain... probably all the excitement (and some of the procedures) of yesterday...so I placed myself under enforced rest😉. Nearly the girls bedtimes at least eh!

Have a good evening..xxx

in reply to breatheeasy1

Oh dear Anne sorry you felt ill..no nurse today?? Stress maybe..

Yes get a very large puzzle!!!! 💕💕

Sleep well sweetheart xx

Well when they 'renegotiated my care' they needed to cut back on spending so we agreed on full support for a week after infusion then less hours after that. Ive a neighbour around if i need her😊. xx

in reply to breatheeasy1

That's good I'm glad you have a friend at hand. Well I'm not having a good weekend so far, our bathroom hall and back bedroom has been flooded due to a blocked drain and the smell is dreadful to say the least. We rang the emergency plumber this afternoon and no one has been yet. Unbelievable I know. We have noticed a horrible smell for a while now of raw sewarage but unsure of where it has been coming from. Our carpets are swimming in water and my poor husband has tried mopping it up and I can't help him bless him. Plus it's made my chest very saw. Thanks to my BLF friends reading your posts has kept me going. Take care 🌹😉

breatheeasy1 in reply to Stumpy55

Oh my gosh that sounds awful!! How frustrating no one has been to you to sort that out! No wonder it's a bad weekend for you. Maybe you can ring them again in the morning, or get them out tomorrow to look at it. There should be a 24 hour service for an emergency service shouldn't there?

I do hope it gets sorted for you very soon...xx

Stumpy55 in reply to breatheeasy1

I know it's really annoying but this is not the first time we've waited in and no ones turned up and the next day my husband phoned up and this lady said " who did you speak to, it wasn't me and those famous encouraging words there's nothing on my computer . Well luckily we are insured so that's something I suppose. Thankyou for listening to my little moan and you take care as well 💐

breatheeasy1 profile image
breatheeasy1 in reply to Stumpy55

Oh I hate it when they say things like that. Blame the computer like it's a forgetful employee! I'm glad you're insured though...that's one less thing to worry about paying for!

Don't you worry about having a moan...I don't blame you! It's what this site is for😊.

Good luck with it anyway, I hope it gets fixed for you very soon xxx

Stumpy55 in reply to breatheeasy1

Thanks a lot breatheeasy it's very frustrating I know that, it's the smell and the carpet and floor covering it absolutely ruined, even poor old Barney our cat won't walk on carpet. Still tomorrow is a new day so I hope we get some response 🤞 💐

breatheeasy1 profile image
breatheeasy1 in reply to Stumpy55

Oh I can imagine...awful and foul to have to deal with 😵. Good luck today...keep phoning them till someone turns up!! xxx

Stumpy55 in reply to breatheeasy1

Well the Emergency plumber that we phoned yesterday afternoon turned up at 10am this morning, he obviously didn't think that flooding was an emergency. And he then enlightened us both with his knowledge of plumbing and the likes that our outside drain is now clear, to which I replied " yes I agree, it's cleared all over the hall bedroom and bathroom" you are absolutely right. 😡 the smell is something else but guess what Captain obvious said "it should resolve itself once you replace carpet and floor coverings. Yep! Total idiot comes to mind. Anyway tomorrow the council so see what we can do there, you really have to 😂 you take care and Thankyou for your concern 🌹

breatheeasy1 in reply to Stumpy55

Oh dear not a helpful visit then😬. Hope you get more luck with the council...xx

Stumpy55 in reply to breatheeasy1

Well hopefully, my husband phoned the council this morning and let them know about events over the weekend and we want to claim for damages on our insurance, the lady he spoke to said "we can put demidifier 's around the erea and dry out the water" my husband said that's all very well but what about the bad smell. Oh in that case I will send out a claim form and take it from there. We have photo's of what it was like so we have proof. My goodness this is such a palaver . . Still, hopefully after the interrigation we will get it sorted. 🤞

breatheeasy1 in reply to Stumpy55

No it's never easy with insurance companies and tradesmen...sounds like you're making a bit of progress with it though 😊. Fingers crossed it'll be sorted quickly for you💕 xx

Stumpy55 in reply to breatheeasy1

Thankyou breatheeasy1, I sincerely hope so. We won't give up that's for sure. What makes me laugh is, the attitude you get, as if they are doing you a favour. Still we will have to wait and see on this one. 🤞🌹xx

That's very pretty Fran! I'm afraid I get cross with puzzles and end up grumpily marching off when I can't find the piece I want. 😂 Dreadful on my part.

Enjoy your weekend.

Cas xx 🌹

in reply to Caspiana

Haha..😂

Bea got cross when she got to the blue background, she said it would take her ages etc but I told her greater will be your satisfaction once it’s done. Well she stuck with it in the end. But how quickly she cleared the table I would have kept it for a couple of days being a proud Mum!

Enjoy your Sunday Cas! 🌸
