Morning Mel,
That's a lot of boxes Mel, what ever have you bought ?
i bet the driver was glad of a bit of help .

We had more snow !!

9.18am.

OH has the big mower and trailer at the arch now so he can bring it down in that!!

9.16am.

Furniture just arrived and the driver is not pleased as he has to carry the 13 boxes down the garden from the big arch!!

This should be good!! OH has gone to help him.

8.45am.

Morning,

Don't know if this will get through to you as I have'nt been able to post all day yesterday.

Frosty start and our bedroom furniture is on the way as the driver rang a while ago for directions.

Morning all,
8.17pm
We have a good three inches of snow here today ,heard on the news that a snowplough has got stuck on a slip road in the town that goes up on to the A47 and a breakdown truck that came to pull it has got stuck too now !!!so the roads are really bad this way .
Toby nearly went loopy this morning when he saw the snow ,he was just like a child lol he chased round the garden like a mad thing .

No work for hubby today ,he carn't get on in the snow its out side work taking down a chimney and building it back up again, still i have a list of jobs lol

Well I have just woken up.!!!!.I must have nodded off.The dog is looking at me waiting to go in the garden so I'll do that and then be off to bed.
See you in the morning.Night Night xx

We now have a fine covering of snow !!

Will say night night now watching the jungle .

No thick tights Ann.Just hold me in tights lol.I haven't worn tights for so long.I'm sure they will feel really uncomfortable.I will probably be taking them off at some stage.Not in public of course!!!!!
Sheila ,I think wellies are the worst things for making your feet cold.It is time they made fur lined wellies lol.I hate wearing wellies.I remember how they used to rub my legs as a child.

Hi thats just what husband said why did you not turn round and go back but asked a women walking her dog and she took me down a lane then left me giving me some complicated instructions which I did follow then came out somewhere I did not reconise and got lost at least I got home
and cannot wear hiking boots they are too heavy on my feet had my wellies on and still my feet were froze.Not to worry did make it home.
the dogs are sleeping very cosy by the fire no worry there.
Aprils never been on a horse in her life just a donkey at the seaside Jane..
I am going to watch the jungle its getting very good now I watched Man u last night but it was disapointing until Rooney scored bless him.

19.45pm

Poor Mel, I find mine is running slower......must be folk ordering all their presents!

Sounds to me like you will be looking for NEW stuff Shirl.........once an idea gets in the head of us ladies.......Frank will KNOW what I mean....lol. I hope your son is improving and if he goes to live with his sister It will ease the workload for you.....maybe OG won't be holed up too. You have had your hands full for a while.

I can't keep those plants from one year to the next........well done Ros for keeping it this long.

Hope you have some thick tights for the weekend Jane

I rang a lady at that Homes*nse shop I went to with my sister... to see if they had any more glass parrots. She reckons they have several, which surprised me as I thought they had finished doing them, so we are going to have a look tomorrow morning. I have a horrid suspicion she might not know her 'birds' too well and is including the glass Toucans they had???? Hope it won't be a wasted journey along the M6!

Another early night for me tonight I think....... I'll try putting some Lavender on my pillow if I can find it........if that fails I am tempted to get up and hoover or something........but then it would be 2 of us that have a bad night.

Just spoke to Mel.She hasn't abandoned ship.She just can't get on GR.Says Hi to everyone.Hopefully she will get back here soon
19.37

Poinsettia ( I think) Frank.I only ever had one that lasted a year.When I buy one I always make sure it is covered up completely to get it home.
I won't be going anywhere tomorrow other than taking limpy dog for a short walk.I have to stay in for parcels.

Ann Love that Number Plate!!!

18.26pm

Evening all,
What is it with us old 'uns, I often lay awake till 2/3am or wake up a 5/6am It's horrible, you just keep turning over and look at the clock. When I last spoke to the Doctor about it he said "get up and make a cup of tea" then settle down again. No chance, if I did that I would never get back to sleep.

Haven't been out today, apart from cleaning the windows,I did the outside while Ros did inside.All done now till after Christmas. sorted out the chickens The water was frozen.. But with all the bubble wrap around their indoor run, they have somewhere to get out of the cold and wind. Better them than me.!!!!

Ros, has had a pointsetter (Is that right) since last Christmas, It's now decided to give up the Ghost, and started to loose it's leaves, and die. She will have to get a new one for this year. MORE MONEY !!!! JOKE,!!!!

I see the forcast isn't good for the next week. Look out Jane. It might catch you out !!!! How things down your way Liz and Mel.???

Shirl,I always behave ! lol.....well most of the time .
Sheila ,I'm glad you found your way home and are now in the warm.Poor doggies.
I bet April is happy now that Rashers has his Birthday Card lol.It will be a difficult Xmas for Jess and April without Matt,but I just hope Jess can stay healthy .She has another little person to think of now as well as April.It sounds as though she has people keeping an eye on things which is really good.
Is April able to ride the new Pony?
Must go now for a while .

18.25

Ann, what are you like the Splats !! lol

It reminded me of the time when we were on holiday and i said to my sister just pass my Flip Flaps over here ,i meant Flip Flops !!! but it was out of my mouth before i realised what i'd said !!! lol

No more snow the last time i looked out ,but its soooo cold.

Sheila, fancy getting lost ,why didn't you turn round and go back the way you came , ,i bet the dogs thought how much further are we going lolol
Perhaps you should put a pair of hiking boots on your christmas list !!

Lovely here today I went for a walk and got lost did not know where I was the road I take normally was closed. Poor Jasper and Teddie were getting fed up and sitting on each other to keep warm I went a mile out of my way before I found a road to head home down I was froze. I came in just in time to watch Roger Federer and Sodling play tennis Rog won .My feet were crinkled due to the cold and I had to put them in hot water which Jasper was drinking but did not like the taste of the foot lotion.Alpine Spruce and mint.

Thank you Mel for your nice message to Jessica will tell her what you said it may help her to feel better I think she is very sad with it coming up to Christmas if Mat had been here she would have been so happy.

April phoned me today and said Nannie you forgot to send Rashers a birthday card so I sent him a MOON pig card . I felt silly putting in the details happy birthday Rashers however did send Mel a moon pig card and forgot to sign it.. The things you do for granchildren. I asked April what do you want for Christmas and she said a coller for Sheep her pet one
and now uncle Brins bought her a beautiful pony called Princess after Princess Katie Price or Jordans daughter it is a male horse. But another animal to take care of by Ryan and uncle Brin. David must be cold. I love the winter I can put our gas fire on which is coal effect and love to cuddle On the sofa with Teddy. The only thing Jasper does is pull my socks and makes growling noises have tried cuddling him and he hates it. But outside and lost today I was feeling really ill.

17.31pm

I hope it doesn't reach -11 round here Fiona, that is seriously cold!! I remember feeling frozen at - 8 when I got a lift with OH once to go around the shops at Stoke-on-Trent. I could feel my lungs chilling as I breathed and had to keep on the move from shop to shop.

Any more snow Amanda? We just had frost this morning and a very gray sky.

While we were driving around today I spotted the number plate my old doctor from the 70s had and took a pic. I doubt it would be on his car now as he would be near retirement then, but it is nice someone local has it. I will send it on......you will see how appropriate it was for a doctor!!! lol
