Our printer has seperate inks too AnnG and, as you say, it seems no sooner than you change one cartridge another needs doing! I wonder why whenever I use it it seems to need more paper as well!

The driver is 2 stops away now so should be nice and early today. I think one of the reasons I get more subs is because I order low fat or low sugar things. They probably sell out of those because they order less of them. They then send me the usual versions.

I was lucky yesterday, had no subs and nothing unavailable.

It is so annoying when you come to print off something and the printer immediately says ink needs changing. this PC has 6 separate colour inks and today apparently 2 were empty. I had better get and order a new pack tomorrow.

Afternoon All,

:-D HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAX :-D I would have enjoyed his birthday breakfast too.

OH ate a good lunch today and enjoyed it, skinless chicken breast with a bit of mash, broc, cauli, carrot, parsnip and beans with gravy. He had to get up in the night for some painkillers and is only pottering about and having rests as he's so tired. His voice still isn't properly back yet so I'll be glad when he has his hospital appointment soon when he can ask about these things. They just discharged him with no advice of what to do or not to do. The GP didn't get the referral for the rheumatology ready for him on Friday so he will have to chase it up tomorrow. I suppose with so many GPs working part time it's to be expected. I passed on your regards Mel. There's more footie he wants to watch this afternoon, so I shall do more sorting in the study. I finished the pile to shred this morning, so will start going through the drawers in here next and no doubt find more to shred!

The food delivery is due in an hour too.......3 subs......2 going back.

O blast I look forward the The Midwives on a Sunday evening.

I thought it was Max's birthday the other day so I will say again.....

<3 <3 Happy Birthday Max <3 <3

Sounds like he had a good breakfast.

Suns gone and the winds up so its really cold out there and the wild birds are feeding like crazy.

so call the Midwife is not on tonight because of BAFTA awards. So I will not be watching BBC1 most of this evening then.

Its a bit like that here with the wind blowing in your eyes and making them water.

BIL has been and gone and took some metal stuff away with him for the recykling center. Did'nt stay long but he did show me how to put my Royal Mail postings in a file and I have been doing that.

Pc is telling me rain is coming and its been a nice morning with a cold wind but sunn too 6 degrees now.

Done the chickens and they were pleased to see me this morning. Fed the fish as they were swimming around a bit and I remembered to ask BIL to open the filter shed door for me as it was stuck closed and I could'nt open it as the wind had blown it shut a few weeks ago and it was jammed on a wire that comes out of it to my pond filter. I shall have to file away a bit of the door where the wire is so it dos'nt happen again.

Oh yes, happy birthday max. I bet he enjoyed that.

No I have not found anything I have been looking for, I did mostly know what was in the drawer as it has all my chargers but there was also a load of old labels and addresses on bits of paper that were out of date.

I have just walked down to Iren'es with some books and craft stuff. I had to time it between drier loads as I won't leave it switched on while I am out. It is bitterly cold but I was well wrapped up and even wore a hat so I didn't feel too cold. Only problem was my eyes kept watering in the wind so I couldn't see. Still it is done now and son in law's birthday card posted.

Oh so not to bad then Anng ,have you found anything you've been looking for ,it's so nice when there's something you thought was lost and it comes to light in a draw even though you've been through the draw looking for it .

I've just topped the dishwasher up with salt ,when I used it last night the salt light came on ,I really only use the dishwasher now if I do a roast or a lot of cooking ,I quite like washing up.

I gave Max scrambled egg on toast for his breakfast as its his birthday :-D

About half full Mandy but they are not long drawers about 18 inches across and all have specific type stuff in them do do with office or craft.
Pleased to hear your snow has gone. Until 0915 we had pale blue sky and it was quite bright but now it has cluded over again and is only 2 degrees.

Morning all,
It was still snowing when we went to bed but this morning it's only laying on the car all gone from the hedges and road ,it's cloudy now and not very bright .

That's a lot of draws to go through Anng are they all full .

We started another jigsaw yesterday the one son and dil bought us for christmas was just so hard ,it was one of those where the picture on the box is not what your doing ,your doing what the people on the box are looking at if that makes sense .

Morning Anng and all,

The suns just put in an appearance a little while ago and it 4 degrees and pc says temps to rise by Wednesday. Its showing 13 degrees for Wednesday I wonder if they will bee right?

Still not heard from BIL so I better text him today.

Good luck with the sorting of the draws girls, its something I should do too.

Wonder if Mandy had anymore snow?

Hows G getting along now Annx. I hope with having the teeth out he is managing to eat better. Give him my regards please.

Good morning all, very dull again and only 1 degree. I slept but not that well, lots of dreaming all muddled can't remember any of them now but they kept waking me.

anyway I decided to get up at 0715, stripped the bed and bedding in the wash. But I am not washed or dressed yet. Nothing planned although if it stays dry (and is not like yesterday) I do need to walk down with a couple of books for Irene and to go to the post box.
I did tidy one of the drawers in my office yesterday, might tackle another one my desk has 9 drawers.

?? T was the opposite he issued orders at football and Rugby Union matches on TV.
There are a terrible lot of idiot refs around. Son in law is not much better only Rugby League and Chelsea matches get the benefit of his advice.

I just asked him AnnG and he laughed and said 'no' and not even at matches either. I think I've heard a few 'tuts' sometimes. :-)

Oh no Mandy! You set me off peeking through the blinds here, but it's just fine rain I can see here at the moment. If it is settling on the wet and freezes it could be icy tomorrow. I just looked and we are due another cold day and a frost tomorrow. It's beginning to seem a long winter.

Snow!!!!!don't send it my way please.

Well I waited till just before 2pm to go to the shop as BIL had'nt come. He did'nt come at all today so I have wasted a day waiting for him . I do hope he is ok.

Not done a bl**dy thing its so unsettling.....................................

Still coming down and beginning to lay now even though it had been raining before the snow came and the road was wet .

Oh dear Mandy please keep it there.

It's snowing here .

Ann sounds as if your OH is getting used to watching his foorball in the warm. does he shout at the set? Pleased to hear that he is eating more now, that is a good sign.

Afternoon All,

Thanks Mandy, that made me remember where Ohio came from. :-) We don't have as many roasts now and not always on a Sunday. I can't believe Max will be aged 9 tomorrow!! It doesn't seem long since he was an adorable puppy. How fast time seems to go by.

Percy Grainger wrote the music for piano Mel, but Jimmie Rodgers is best known for singing it.

I bet George was pleased to get the school he wanted. Some parents appeal when they don't get the choice they want and OH sits on some of the panels that then decide. In my day I had a choice of 5 city grammar schools. Mum wanted me to go to the 'best' one that was a short walk away from where we lived. She seemed impressed by the velvet winter cloche hats and summer straw boaters they wore, but I thought it too posh and was quite relieved to get her second choice.

We popped to the shop this morning for a few bits and a paper and are back in the warm for the day now. OH is eating more and settled in front of a footie match on tv, so I'm stopping here for the duration and keeping the shredder company first before finishing the food order.
