Liz ,have you thought of something like a Renault Clio? I don't know anything about Smart Cars .What about a Mini.They look great these days.

I think it suddenly feels really chilly,and I have lit my fire .I was going to light it the other week ,but as the heating was on 24 /7 it would have been too much.
Guess who is sprawled out in front of it??? NO NOT ME lol

My OH thinks the Smart Cars are dangerous as you have nothing in the front of you in the way of a bonnet. He is an ex fireman Liz.

12.26pm.

Just had the Electric Man to change the meter, (so far do good!!!!!)so have been off site all morning. Thanks for the jokes Frank, I've sent them both on for cheering up purposes!, they both made me laugh as usual!! VERY frosty here today, Farrier came and took Merlin's shoes off as OH won't be riding for a while!! Car waiting to be collected (more money!) am thinking about oneof those Smart Cars, as I don't use my car very much now I don't work, but don't want to drive a horse lorry!!! or be tied to OH for transport!! would be interested to hear any comments from anyone, for and against? As you say Mel, maybe a new Dyson here, see what tomorrow brings!!

Thanks for your best wishes Mel , Jane,
where is everybody else, probably got a lot to do , I can hardly believe there's only 12 days left to Christmas, I won't burst in to song.
Still no parcel, but have delivered my cards. it's very cold here.

lunch time think I'll have a quick cup a soup , Broccoli & Cauliflower is my favourite with some crusty bread.

Yes Fiona good luck to daughter no. 2.

I am having terrible trouble getting on the site today!! Bet they are working on the site ready for the Christmas rush.
10.35am.

Morning Mel ,Fiona and All,
What a mucky murky day.Not very nice and so dark.
Mel I parked outside the village Hall just now and went I got back to the car I was boxed in from front and back !! It must be the week for people trying to wind me up lolol.After a lot of shuffling the car back and forward I managed to get out.

Fiona I hope your Daughter does well today with her exam.I remember that terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach whenever I had an exam.I felt as sick as a parrot !

Morning Mel
Waiting for a parcel to arrive hopefully today, then off to deliver christmas cards around the doors.
Daughter no 2 and boyfriend managed to get to Galashiels this morning, as it's daughters second exam, she missed the first one due to the weather, but she will be able to do it in January.
away to get a shower, will be just my luck the doorbell will go while i'm in the shower.

Morning All,

Very frosty this morning and very cold too. Sun is out so maybe it will warm up a bit, it certainly needs to.

Sheila what a shame about the ballet when you waited so long for a lovely day out. Glad you liked the pc card, thought that would cheer you up.

Liz what a thing to happen just after you having the hover fixed too. I should ask for a replacement if I were you. It could'nt hurt to try!!

Mandy photos were really lovely and Christmassy. Loved the one with your little grandaughter and the reindeer. What a nice thing to keep too.

Ann in the wars again. Hope the soap powder works on your pan. If not just do it again and give it a bit of a boil on the stove, watching it as the foam can come up very quickly and silently. Mum boiled a sauspan over on our cooker and it all went down the back and the cooker would'nt work for ages till it sried out.

Jane you need one of those little mobile book thingies where you can download stories. Perhaps you will get one for Christmas???

Did a bit of shopping yesterday after the solicitors. Bought a few little things for OH and something for me from him!!!!

Frank cheeky as ever. You naughty boy!!

I had someone park right up to my boot once and the person in front had done the same thing. I could'nt have moved if I had wanted to and I did!!!!!! OH was very cross when I did get home but how do you explain a thing like that. I just had to wait until one of the drivers came back. I must have waited half an hour or more.

9.37am.

10.22pm
I am starting a new book tonight Jane, great minds think alike.!!!!
Managed to get Estee Lauder Private collection tonight. Two gold necklaces still bidding on. Fingers crossed

Night Jane
Night Allxxxxxx

I knew you were kidding David ,not sure what to say about you playing your Banjo though lolololol
Well ,I will be off soon.Just going to have a look to see what book I can start tonight.I have run out of my books and am having to look through the bookcases.I think there may be be a couple that I may fancy.
See you all again tomorrow.Night Night xx

Jane , I have PM you.

Was only kidding Jane x
But sometimes I go to bed early and play my banjo

David,that is disappointing .Yet another no show.There are a lot of time wasters out there.
I bet you are a darned good Rapper lol.We just have Big Issue sellers outside our M&S.
Maybe the bad weather is putting people off viewing.But that is no excuse not to let you know.

Liz you are right .No Health and Safety then.No goggles to protect eyes.
I love the sound of your school and the Nuns.It sounds a bit like Sister Act (the Films)with Whoopie Goldberg lol

Well Chris is home and says half of the GP's are off sick ! So he says it has been one heck of a day.Not a happy bunny !.Tes** tills were only half manned today .Maybe they have a lot of sickness too.
I never remember so many bugs around when I was young.
Just off to stir the risotto.

Second "potential buyer" in 7 days was a no show.
No phone call no nothing.It's annoying

Bought a second hand TV on ebay recently for £13.50 inc carriage
Have it it parked on the desk beside my monitor.
Lets me watch TV or videos while Ellen watches another channel.

Sure Ive talent. You should see me rap outside M & S :))

I think Schools weren't so hot on health and safety when you and I were there Jane! In fact my Convent (I can feel your eyebrows being raised Frank!!) relied more on God than anything else, with near disastrous results!! esp if we were taken to away matches in the School bus driven by a nun without any road sense whatsoever, straight through red traffic lights, out of side roads, without a glance to left or right. Trust in God she would say if we tentively queried her road sense and driving ability! Oh well, we had a lot of laughs!!!! Tomorrow, EDF are coming to change our Electrcity meter, lets hope that doesn't go off bang!!!

FRANK!!! I could have been as thin as a stick and I still wouldn't have got in lol.The gap between the cars was just a few inches!..........You Cheeky Thing.

Ann, i burnt apple in my pan, i put ar*el washing powder in mine,with boiling water ,soaked it over night ,then got the scourer on it and it all came off with a good scrub.

Oh Liz, that's a nuisance. Let's hope they fix it properly next time. At least some hoovering got done before the bang.

I have managed to ruin (according to OH!) my ss steamer pan by burning semolina in it !! Chucked the semolina away and it is all brown and crusty inside. I soaked it with soda crystals last night, but OH says it hasn't budged the burn. Any ideas anyone.

Today I broke the glass in a new picture frame trying to get the back off. We went to where I usually get glass in the city........all boarded up!! What's the third thing going to be??

Loved the pics Mandy. It looks a lovely place.

Jane I've had that happen. Mine's a 2 door car and the doors are longer and so need more space than usual to open. It's a right palava getting in the other side! lol At least you weren't in a mini skirt!!
