General Chat

Well done Ann, love a bargain

We never hear of Sadie the Bra Lady these days.

Talking of bras I bought Ellen 3 online a few weeks ago. She was over the moon.

Morning everyone

Raining here this morning ,we're off to sons later the children want to show us all the presents they had for christmas.

What is everyone up to today ? i think it's another lazy one for us.

Good morning everyone. I hope you're well not too hungover.
Sun is shining, but it is cold.
Have a nice day what ever you do.

We're up to absolutely nothing today!!! Son rang last night to have a chat, I think it's just to check that we're ok!! I can remember doing that with my parents all those years ago!!!!
Been raining here, but pretty calm and dry at the moment, and still very warm!! OH is making a casserole for supper tonight, it'll be nice to have ordinary food today.
Should get a decent walk later if the weather holds!

Morning all,

Dull and miserable here today but we hav'nt that very strong wind we had yesterday. It nearly blew me over out the back whilst doing the hens but it made me laugh because the hens were out!! I come out of there with platform boots on it is so sticky and muddy.

I do so feel for those poor people who are flooded out again. If its not one part of the country its another. There is nothing they can do about it, no insurance not a chance of selling and moving elsewhere and losing most of their lives treasures as well. God bless them.

I saved one of aunty Joy's presents till last yesterday. Oh had gone to bed and when I looked on the label it said "I hope you love this, I did" when I opened it it was a little ornament of Howard the baby hedgehog from the Hedgies series. He's lovely and sitting on my desk on his leaves holding his dummy.

We had a picky tea last night, the last of the pigs in blankets, stuffing balls for oh pickles turkey and other bits too and not a lot of washing up.

must get on so see you later.

I hope Gill is ok as we still hav'nt heard from her. <3 <3

Afternoon all,
Sun is shining today, I've not been outside yet don't know if it's cold, but is so great to see the sun.

Expecting OH home about 2, he is going to pick up some milk for me, I drink Skimmed and use quite a bit with cereals and coffee's through the day. Jake is due back today from Inverness, glad for Kiah sake she's been very unsettled while he has been away,

Victoria & family will be down for the usual sunday dinner later today,

need to tidy up a bit.

Afternoon All

Black as your hat here and rain .Just a quick look in now.Chris is on his way back from taking Hannah back to London.She's off to Thailand tomorrow.He says traffic is HORRENDOUS.
No hang over here David.I only had 2 glasses of wine yesterday...Can't say the same about Christmas Day . :-D
Turkey Curry tonight :-S and hopefully catch up on Downton Abbey .It is just Chris and me .

Will catch up on posts later........How is Gill?

Back again.
Chris is stuck in a queue somewhere on the A1,and hannah just rang to say she has gone off wth my car Key..Luckily it is the spare one :-D

Liz.I was only saying yesterday I miss having family members to ring at Christmas (the older generation) Parents gone,and all other Aunties and Uncles too :-(..It is only my Sister I can call these days.New Years Eve was the other time I loved calling people.

That was a nice pressie from your Aunty Joy Mel :-D

Fiona you are very lucky to have sun where you are.It is foul here.Heavy drizzle and mist now :-S
David how is the weather up with you? Is your area affected at all by the floods or are you too far east?I just can't imagine what it must be like for all these people .It isn't getting any better is it?Christmas 2015 is one they will never forget .

I think there is a load of rubbish on TV..Did anyone watch the Dickensian last night? I think it is going ot be a good series.What about Agatha Christies And then there were none ??

Good bargains yesterday Ann.I can't bring myself to go to the shops yet.Might have a go tomorrow :-D

Yes where is our Gill?? It's not like her not to post.
How is Torquay Frank?

Afternoon all

It's been raining here and is very cold.

We've had a very quiet Christmas this year, OH isn't well now either, we've both got sore throats and a cough, plus I have a sore tummy so I've decided to take some Senokot to see if that helps.

It's sounds like you've all been busy over Christmas. OH and Sandra helped me so not so busy for me this year.

What did everyone get off SANTA, hope he was nice to you all?

I've recorded everything over Christmas as I wasn't up to watching much TV. I'm feeling a little better today so I'm just about to catch up with all the programmes I've missed.

Hope you are all keeping well

Poor you and oh Gill. I hope you will both be better soon.

Evening everyone. Over the last couple of weeks we have had torrential rain, but nothing like the west thank God. It will take months for that to get back to normality, or something like it. I remember the little town of Morpeth when it the river burst its banks about 10 years ago. It was minimal compared with they are experiencing in Carlisle and Cockermouth and Kendal. The government ought to be strengthening all the weakest links, we can't do anything about the weather.
Sorry I didn't send you individually a card, I've never been out. I couldn't send one in the future if I wanted to, I emptied my message in box :(
Never mind I wish you all the best for 2016

Evening All,

It's been dry and quite mild here today but so gloomy. :-S We got up late this morning (OH has decided he is an 11.00am to 2.00pm person......after that he's ready for a sleep!) We decided to check MIL's house on the way to a garden centre on the A5. The sold sign seems to have been ripped off in the wind! Otherwise all was well. The garden centre has other outlets and I hoped to get a new winter jacket but saw nothing I fancied. We came home the long way through several villages and I took OH down the lane into our village where they are going to build the new town. It's been closed for months and they have rerouted some of the lane to a new island to access the houses when they are built and it looks so different now.

David, I always remember Sadie the bra lady whenever bras are mentioned now!

:-D

We enjoyed the Dickensian prog too Jane and will also be watching or recording Miranda tonight.

Sorry to hear you have both been ill Gill. Stay put in the warm and rest up while you can. I hope you soon feel better.

Aunty Joy's present sounds lovely Mel. We have been nibbling today to eat up bits and bobs. We just didn't fancy any more Turkey so had pate on toast.

I bet Kiah will be beside herself when Jake gets back Fiona. I expect it's only gundogs that don't mind crackers being pulled. You'll have to take her outside next time you are pulling them.

Sadie the bra lady, braches in Consett, Sunderland and Darlington is looking
for agents to work Birmingham and Kettering ;-)

I'm switching PC off now, going to try a crossword puzzle. See you all Monday

Hi All,

I have the pooter on my knee in the kitchen.

They are watching some CR#P U.S.A film, not my sort of thing.

Can hardly see what I am doing, the light is very poor.

Haven't read any posts as yet. Very mild day down here, Temp had been around 16 today. From the window, I could see a lot of people walking along the sea front, and plenty of cars parked.

I am having one of my OFF days today, sweating like a pig, and going into the garden every half hour to cool down. #I'm off to bed anytime soon.

I trust you all had a good Christmas.

We seemed to take forever to get down here yesterday. Conrad was going to pick us up at mid day, that turned into 2.00pm so it was after 6.00 when we got here.

Signing off now, will try to be more sociable tomorrow.

Good night

We had the same problem Ann with our for sale boards, we've had a few of them and every single one has been blown down the street, so now we're not going to bother anymore. The last one to blow away nearly hit our neighbours car, so it's not worth risking it with the weather we've had recently.
Shame you couldn't find a winter jacket you liked, I'm sure you'll find one soon.
I know how you feel seeing things change, it's the same for us when we visit OH's mum in Ellesmere Port. It's been 10 years since we left there and everything has changed so much and feels very strange to us now.

I've recorded Dickensian so will watch them when I'm feeling better. I did manage to watch Downton but still need to watch call the midwife and a few other things.

OH nipped out earlier and got us some medicine, which is slowly working, it's Tesco's own cough medicine and is really good, hopefully we'll both be able to sleep better tonight. We can both still do things but are resting as much as we can too. Sandra has been brilliant and cooked the chicken for us today, I did help a little and OH helped to dish up, so between all three of us we had a lovely dinner.

So you were a bit late leaving yesterday then Frank? At least you are there now and can relax. Sorry to hear you are feeling out of sorts today, hope you feel better tomorrow.

Going to bed now, hopefully I'll get a better nights sleep tonight and be back on here again tomorrow
Night Night

Oh bought me three packets of coloured felt as a little pressy. I have found a lovely site on making little people out of pipe cleaners and felt so tomorrow I am going to have a go. I have made a body and cut out the clothes. I have to find some largish wooden beads and small ones for the hands and where I have put my beewax for the feet I do not know.

Signing out now and hope you ALL feel better in the morning.

Good morning everyone. I hope Gill and Frank and all the others are feeling better after a good neigh's sleep.
This dreadful weather has Leeds and York under water. God help them. I saw a bus on it's side getting washed down the street at Hebden Bridge.

Frontline time for 4 cats yesterday, they didn't like it, neither did I.

I wasn't too peaky yesterday, but a large tin of prunes shifted that problem. ;-)

Morning all,

Hope all had a good nights sleep and are feeling much better today.

Still rainn ing a bit here but nothing like the poor people up country got.

Oh has put the bins out but nobody else has so he is hoping they did'nt come REALLY early as they do sometimes.

Afternoon All
Think I might give Bra selling a miss thanks David LOL.It would me smile though if I saw a Sadies shop here :-D

Frank I hope you are feeling a bit more yourself today and that your off day is done and dusted.

Gill how did you both sleep .Hopefully that cough mixture helped .

Well this mild weather continues and Iam sat in front of a big open window !!!I just feels all wrong.I wonder if we will get a really bad Jan/Feb .

I think Chris and I are finally going to get to see Downton in a minute.Fingers crossed James and Jess don't turn up until it is over.

Afternoon Everybody.

Had a bad night last night, clock watching until 3.00 am awake again 5.40 am. had a bit of a lie this morning.

Computer all over the place this morning. No postings from when I posted last night. Conrad is going to have a look at it.
