Good morning everyone
It's going to be another day of sunshine and showers here.
Ros, you poor thing, torn ligament in your spine must be painful
Thanks again everyone for your congrats. I'm hoping that I and the other moderators will be able to use a light touch rather than people thinking we are getting heavy-handed. Ted has set up a separate section on this forum which only moderators can see with the specific intention that we can share our views and concerns rather than being isolated from each other.
Good morning everyone.
Weather is cloudy with the sun appearing from time to time. Showers are forecast for later in the afternoon.
El, I hope all goes well for you and the other new mods. I'm sure everything will settle down quite soon.
Summer, well done on getting your dress for you SiL's wedding. What colour/style did you choose?
Good morning everyone, a nice bright morning I am happy to say.
Ros that sounds very painful has the doc given you strong painkillers. And is there anything that you can do to ease it or is it just rest?
Yes Summer we want all the details of your outfit, down to the very last detail I want to picture you in my mind.
EL Ted does sound like he has gone about this mod business in a very sensible way and I think it's great that you and the other mods can discuss matters. Well done in stepping forward to you and all the other mods.
Morning all x
Congrats El , hope it all goes well for you and the others
^^^^ - lovely dress Sweet
That is beautiful Summer I can just see you in it, I think the accessories too would be perfect - I love the colour.
Hi Skylark. Did you get your lights fitted?
Summer, I love the dress. You will look lovely in it.
Summer I couldn't resist looking 
they might not be your style but I think they are both lovely but pricey

Both boleros are lovely, Squiggle.
I can never resist looking Yogi but we all have our own individual style and I was a bit worried that others wold just think they were

I like browsing through paint colour charts and choosing a colour scheme.

Me too, mind you one year we went potty and sellotaped a quilt that had a reverse of the exact colour we were contemplating to see if we liked it, we did
EL! Trust you 
Skylark glad the new lights look good and the work is all finished, did he chase them into the wall? I know that sounds funny but you know what I mean.

^^^^ I'm glad you liked it, after going to all that bother.
To be honest Yogi it was me that sellotaped the quilt my hubby thought I'd lost the plot but it was a very bold colour and needed a lot of thinking about.
Ooh I just found this bolero/shrug too, and I think it's my favourite
Thats a lovely bolero squiggle
Laughing at you and the quilt
Yes the lights are well and truly fixed to the wall, with switches each end of the hall. Was trying to find a pic of them, but cant. Got them from BHS, but for some reason they are not on the site. Have done a bit of plastering, will get paint when i decide on colour
Those bolero's are gorgeous! Thank you for the links, the 3rd is my favourite too, I'm going to go hunt it out! Thats a lovely bolero squiggle

If you need any help deciding on a colour, I'm sure Squiggle and I would be happy to help.
I like the third bolero too, Squiggle.
Because it was the exact colour that Squiggle was considering painting her walls and she wanted to see what it would look like.

Hi Summer, are you having those shoes too, they look fab. My days of having heels are over, because of my wonky knee

Don't do what I did. Last time we painted the hall and stairs, I spent a fortune having paint specially mixed to my shade of choice. Then, the painter opened the tin and said, "Oh, you're painting it magnolia".
I was thinking "surely a needle & thread would be better" I was thinking "surely a needle & thread would be better" Oh Yogi, yes that would be annoying!
I would like something warm and inviting, but i must get away from maroons, i just love the colour but cant have it everywhere! Now i dont have the pram/buggy bashing the walls i can maybe go for a nice pastel, still have the dog tho, banging her tail on the wall at the main door etc !
Those bolero's are gorgeous! Thank you for the links, the 3rd is my favourite too, I'm going to go hunt it out! Oh! 
I'm so pleased - I feel I loved the first two but when I saw the third, well. Happy hunting.
I'm signing out soon, it's been all family emergencies this evening, most notably my youngest grandson panicking because he had something in his eye. I tried to be of help on the other end of the phone - talking to his mum whilst his elder brother was following instructions.

Did they get it sorted, Squiggle?
Yes it calmed down. I always have Optrex in but they had nothing like that and my daughter was thinking of warm water I said cool water on a clean teatowel placed over his closed eyes, water is not good for sore eyes. It calmed his eye down and then they were able to get the foreign body out. But you know how your eyes react, they go into panic mode.
Well I'm really heading off now, sleep well everyone.
