have a lovely evening Jane.

I am in watching fireworks on tv also.
I hope everyone will have a nice evening.
No Amanda no jig saw piece maybe deposited it in the garden its one of those important pieces also.

I went to our cute little chapel today to light a candle for Shirl but it was closed the vicars got flu and his assistant there was surposed to be a pets service .

I like Edwardian farm.Only repeats just lately watched the Sound of music
with an old lady friend who cooked her chicken with the jiblets still in the plastic bag and it was stuck to her oven uneaten and I had to bury the remains in the garden. She had cornflakes for her Christmas dinner.
I had a three bird roast so cooked that for her today she went home happy.
Well with family deposited safely back in Wales I can relax my leg is very painful .

Happy new year to David.

April said she went straight out and got Rashers and Sheep in for a snuggle by the fire goodness help them she did that when I was there and it did not smell too fresh after.

David I hope it is safe !!!!!!!! The last thing we want is you blowing yourself sky high .I think they say it is going to get colder again.
I quite like the temperature at the moment.I just had a long cardi on when I went to town.I was too hot in my coat!
It seems like we are all having a quiet night tonight.

Back later
18.46

Thank you Amanda et al
Gas Board couldn't fix it,said part obsolete.
But they cutely made an appt to send salesman to sell me a new one!
So I did what I always do on these occasions when I smell a sting.

I fixed it myself

I just copied the print shown and pasted it on a blank word doc Mandy...... couldn't see where you get the actual doc either!! Isn't it slooowwww.

I found one too, but i couldn't see the image !!!
6.30

Well, 1 search done and it seems to have broken down.......I don't believe it!! Hope they extend the time.

Well it will be a real lively bunch here tonight lol.Me,Chris and Hannah.I have a feeling none of us will be up for Big Ben.I will try though.James and jess are out for dinner at a friends and then to a party,but James is feeling so rough I can see them coming home early.This is the 3rd New Years Eve he has not been well lol.
It is just Pasta tonight ,and then tomorrow evening 3 Bird Roast.I hope everyone is feeling up to eating it.It cost a bomb lol
I used to love New Years Eve when I was younger.Mum and Dad always had a great party when half the village seemed to turn up.Or if I wasn't there I would be out on the town in Plymouth .Oh Happy Days!!!

18.03

I'am waiting too Ann, got my printer set up ready ,i wonder if we'll get on .

Laura's dad, is that Brendan Coyle? I don't like his character very much, but I love the postman's awkwardness and Minnie's innocent blunders!! All the characters are very strong aren't they.

Good idea and I did try that with the washer Mandy......didn't work unfortunately! It is a bit of a palava to reset, switch off, press 2 buttons together while switching on (need 3 hands), after 3 beeps, let buttons go and press again straightaway, after 4 beeps let go and fingers crossed it resets. Things used to be so much easier!!! I suspect me washing too much at once caused it. I've written down what to do now.....just watch me I'll lose that next. lol

Went and got the car washed today to get some of the road salt off it.........huge queue, everyone had the same idea.

We'd rather stay in New Year's Eve too, a nice relax and watch the fireworks on tv too.

Better get my GR searches ready for the free session..........

Eight o clock tonight Mel ,on BBC2

When is Edwardian Farm on next please?

16.15pm.

Fancy Beryl shutting poor Donnie in the shed!! What a girl she is.

My BIL's mum's head shakes too but I can't think what they call it. Jane should know!!

We are just the two of us for tonight and tomorrow but you may see me on here tonight to see the new year in with whoever is around or awake!!

Am so looking forward to Larkrise even if their clothes are too clean Ann. Put that aside and enjoy the stories. I have a soft spot for ? minds gone blank. I thinkit is Laura's dad.

Off to do the chickens before it is too late.

David you have'nt told us what happened about your heating and we have all been worrying about you and Ellen.

15.51pm.

Sheila, my sister was pleased with the log basket ,fitted on her hearth a treat.
Cramp in the leg can be painful, makes your leg sore for ages , hubby takes tablets for cramp.
Fancy Beryl shutting poor Donnie in the shed lol
I take it the missing piece of jigsaw hasn't turned up yet then lol

Good of then to fit you in for your colour Jane , shame about the party , but if OH's not feeling to good its best not to spread the germs !!

We're not going out anywhere ,it'll be just the two of us ,we usually stop up and see the fireworks on the television ,and tomorrow just a quiet day ,might try the coast if its sunny .

David a Happy New Year to you and Ellen, is your heating all fixed now ?

Happy New Year 2011 to all my corespondants on this thresd and others

Afternoon All
I can't believe it has gone 2 and I haven't even said good morning to you all lol
I went to get my colour done this morning at 11.Only to be told my appointment was at 2 !!!! Luckily they managed to squeeze me in.There was noway I could have gone back this afternoon .
I don't think we will be going to the party down the road tonight.I think it is better to keep all our bugs at home.
I asked if a basket of washing could be sorted for me when I went out.It is still sitting here.What do they say."If you want something doing,do it yourself"So that is what I am about to do now.Then clear the fire out.

Sheila.Fiona's Dad passed away about 6.30 on Christmas morning in hospital.

I see Beryl is still up to tricks lol.Shutting poor Donnie in the shed !

Amanda what a lovely idea to buy something to put with a open fire I wish my relatives were so thoughtful. I never saw my brother all over Christmas he said he did not like Yanks being Beanie real name Barnstable and something else.

Fiona did your dad die also then I knew he was ill so much sad times.

Thank you all for your good wishes on my nice Christmas it was great
and hope some of you managed a good christmas.


I went out today in my car and suddenly had cramp in the back of my leg
I felt it roll up my leg and it twisted like a vice it was agony I had to stop
and it hurt so much I cried. I came back home.

I was on my way to see Beryl who had locked Donnie in her shed he wes mending a light switch and she locked the door he had to break his way out. I did laugh though he said you did it on purpose and she said no I did not you know you are the light of my life. Beryl will never change.I think shes got a problem with her health her head shakes badly what would that be do you think. I understand she is to go to the hospital next
month but it is getting bad. I told her your head shakes Beryl whats wrong and she says yours would shake with what I put up with Donnie so why does she still have him around strange women.

The council are to get somebody to take the rubbish after complaints
from all over Birmingham over the week end.thank goodness.

My thoughts are still with Shirl.

Jane loved your photo of your doggie and all that Christmas paper Jasper
managed to swallow a piece of a jig saw puzzle. I said we are a piece missing now and April said never mind grab it when he goes to the toilet
it was funny but not funny if you know what I mean.

Have a lovely day could not find the threads lost my glasses so answered a few. The snows gone...wet and dull now Keep warm and well everyone
such a dreadful time for everybody.

Afternoon all,

Dull old day here too.
Been to Tesc*'s only really wanted a couple of things but still managed to spend over twenty pound !!

I want to see Larkrise , nice little stories ,looking forward to the ice skating too ,i think that starts about 9th Jan .

Ann, my washing machine comes up Error now and again , i just turn it off at the main switch and it seems to reset itself .

Just had some cheese and biscuits for our lunch, i'am doing Jacket potatoes for tea .
Where's our Jane and Frank today ??
And still no David , hope he's got his heating sorted out .

Trying to sort out my tree ready for the free search tonight , bet it will be busy and we won't get on !!

Morning Mel and Gang,

Dreary, dull and damp here, but a bit of mist instead of fog. Done the shopping, so, so busy......had forgotten the cider for the pork, had brekkie out and am just about to go and get all the salt washed off the car!

I rang the washing machine people earlier and they told me how to clear the error and now it is purring away with the next load. The paper boy rams thick wads of the papers with the supplements in in the letterbox.......now he has broken it letting in draughts!! .........and OH has managed to lose the bit that broke off by knocking it off a shelf........what next I wonder. lol

I noticed someone had put on another thread about Larkrise starting......looking forward to it too.........wish their clothes weren't SO clean though. I'm sure they wouldn't have been!! lol

Morning All,

Dreary here yet again and miserable but here's a bit of good news!!!!

Larkrise to Candleford starts again next Sunday. Hooray!!!!!!! Love that proggy. Just simple stories that warm the heart and no sex scenes.

10.56am.
