The FastDay Forum

I haven't been in here for a few days and I come on to look at the last few pages to see I've missed out on a lot of chat. Is anyone else not getting all their tags? I seem to have missed a few.

@rawkaren, that really is a lovely photo of you and yours and so pleased to hear that everyone is safe on the other side of the world.

@Manderley, he is a cutie. I am not a dog person but we have quite a lot of border terriers up here and they are just lovely. The ones I know are very obedient and very clever.

@Hazelnut20, a very belated happy birthday to you.

@StowgateResident & @CandiceMarie, job is going well and I am pooped. I'm on my feet for 7 hours with a wee break inbetween, I am also very active during that time. This is my second week and my feet, legs and hips are beginning to get used to it. I'm also beginning to get used to the job I'm doing and am starting to feel useful. It's that irony between wanting to learn something new and feeling stupid because I don't know what I'm doing!

It's my day off today and I feel happy and motivated, so hopefully a successful fast today. I'm off to clean the bathroom in a minute and then I'm going to empty the fitted wardrobe in our bedroom. I was just going to refresh the paint in the bedroom and get a new duvet cover but OH wants to refit the wardrobe as well and strip the bed frame. Anything I do in the house always seems to grow arms and legs when OH puts his tuppence worth in - 'well if you are going to do that then you would be as well doing this first'.

@wildmissus just think all those cals you use up in the 7 hrs! Glad you re enjoying it.you were in my dream last night but i can't remember the details! X

I have been without internet since last Friday, but have managed to tape the mifi ti the roof vent in the caravan et voilà! We have t'internet! Unfortunately, I am on my tablet and I find that it doesn't always do what I want.
I've managed to more or less catch up. Agree with all comments re Karen's photo and Manderley lovely puppy. We are doing alternate days walking and cycling and i hope to catch you all laters

Wondered where you were @pennyforthem. Look forward to your holiday tales

Pleased to hear that everybody above seems to be having a good time, with jobs, pets, family and friends

Very pleased to report I got 87.4% in my first assignment! PTC Basic Proofreading - the industry benchmark ... Now I just have to get 90% plus in my next 4 assignments to get a distinction Must 'get tuit', as @PennyForthem would say

All is restored, thank you friends. We have internet!
We have been down to the farm for eggs and returned with 2 uniced freshly baked fairy cakes, too. As the hedgerows are laden with luscious blackberries, we are having them with black berry compote and orange liqueur. Oh, and we have been out for lunch. A big bowl of moules and punnet of twice cooked chips.
Back to reality next week! But before then, I have a biggish Seafood festival on Saturday, at which my 2* lemons will be making their appearance!

Shhhhh........ Don't tell anyone but it's @Callyannas birthday tomorrow and my wifi may be a bit hit and miss on my journey home from Landan.
So @CandiceMarie it's over to you.

Thanks for the heads up carie @carieoates

Congratulations @Silverdarling Wow I'm surrounded by clever people/ a writer/a reader/a master chef cook/ and loads of teachers/ including buddies past and present Good luck with the other 4

Well done@silverdarling!

I'm just home from a gig at a Nursing Home. It was an "interesting" afternoon. The natives were restless. Sometimes the music soothes, sometimes it brings back memories. Today, it gave a bloke the urge to drop his daks. It seemed a bit ironic as it was as my mate was singing "Blowing in the Wind"!!!!!

Struggling to wake up this morning, ate too many carbs yesterday so perhaps I'm fuzzed out!
Must. Get. Going.

@Silverdarling, look at you, smarty pants - well done.

@chook, don't know what to say .

As it's the sailing clubs year end in a couple of days and I'm the treasurer I think I'm going to be very busy.

Almost forgot to say that my new job must be doing me good - I lost 2lb this week.

Well done @wildmissus 2lb down!!!
Blimey you have had a good week those 7hrs on your feet all day have done the trick.
