still sunny here but only 3 degrees

Had sun all morning now as I type we have hailstones and a very cold wind.

They finished at 11.30, job completed. I was pleased as it was very cold to be up on the roof. Good to have it all done anyway.

Shopping arrived at 9.02am. I was dressed but had to put my teeth in quickly and put my hair up in its clip but it looked awful.

I can get into this site and ebay but I am having trouble getting into my emails. Its been happening for a few weeks now and it does go in eventually but its so annoying I keep getting lots of scam emails mostly from Mcaffi.

Morning all,

Nasty old morning here ,very dark and raining ,we want to go shopping later so I hope it dries up a bit .
I woke about 5-15 to Anng I felt wide awake so I just laid looking at my tablet for a while .

Mel that was a strange mixture of dreams ,hope your shopping arrives today.

Oh brightened up a bit better have my cup of tea and get on .

Morning Anng and all,

Bit windy here this morning and the temp is 4 degrees and I have a snow warning and 3 rainy days ahead starting Saturday!!!

Its certainly not warm in here this morning so I think I will turn the heating on. Slept quite well but when I went back to bed after a trip to the loo it took a while to drop off again and then I dreamt some strange dreams about losing my hone out of a hard plastic case and being in Bideford market and getting two cockerel shaped bottles and then something about a delivery of gravel to the garden.

It was not just GR down Mel it was something to do with their and others' servers, but it was soon back up. I suppose they are at least giving you a voucher. If it is like Tesco you will probably need to go into your account to claim back the £5 off your next shop. Hope you were up in time.

Good morning all, very dark here and 2 degrees (it was 3 just now, and raining which is not good news for the roof and rain was not forecast. Slept from 11 until 1am then until 5.15 but couldn't then get back to sleep. so got up at 7am.

They said something about if a driver was ill or they could'nt get here for floods and something else. I had to book a slot for tomorrow and the only one I could get was early in themorning so I hope I don't oversleep.The man I spoke ot on the phone said I would get a £5 voucher or that amount off my shopping. Don't know how to do vouchers on Asda online.

When it happened I could'nt get on here to post as they had the site down for maintainance. It has thrown my whole day out.

Oh no ,why have they done that Mel

Hasn’t that happened before Mel.

Just had an email from Asda they have cancled my order.

Don’t forget they have been doing jobs for me fog almost 5 years now

It was probably when covid was about that the working day was shortened ,its good your friend has had hers done so you can compare the cost and know its a fair price Anng ,there's so many rip off merchants ready to take advantage, especially to someone on their own ,you hear so much about people paying up front for a job then they don't turn up to do the work .

It's really cold out now I think we're in for another frosty night .

I don’t think any of the garden, outside general job men work full days Mandy. What I will say is they work non stop even drinking coffee without stopping, no going to sit in the van, stopping for a chat etc. there were three of them today all working. I don’t have a broken down estimate but they will work until they finish and if I mention other jobs they will do those as well. I would rather have it this way than have them Skimp
To get to finish in the estimated time scale. I know their price is fair as a friend has had hers done this year too.

Woods all stacked away and it was a bigger load ,he's now not allowed to sell the smaller loads something to do with health and safety rules.
Jake said he's booked his next test for next........ April :-0 his instructor said he doesn't need any more lessons and now he's booked his test he can look for cancellations.

Ann they don't seem to work for very long ,don't even do a full day ,are they charging you for full days work .

Mel hope your shopping turned up, the coffee and walnut cake must be popular .

Raining here or rather thick drizzle ,feels almost sleety.

Well they lost an hour there. Tey went off as usual, I assume to get something to eat, were gone an hour and as they got back it started to rain so they packed up for the day. Half an hour later the sun was out. But I suppose the roof was wer by then so not good to work on. They are hoping to finish tomorrow so I hope it will be dry.

Its not arrived yet and its supposed to be here from 11am till 1pm :-(

No I don't freeze it but it was on offer and I usually have one a week so I thought I would get two and have one for this week and one for next.

All ready for the shopping to come just have to wait for it now.

Want to get some more stuff on Ebay today so that will keep me quiet for the rest of the day once the shopping has arrived.

That is a lot of cake Mel. do you freeze it?

Morning girls,

Its 6 degrees here now but it was a very cold night and both car had pure white rooves. I was up a bit late this morning and the shopping comes today and I have 4 subs. I ordered 2 Walnut and coffee cakes and they have sent two carrot cakes some Christmas paper and thats out of stock and Cadburys chocolate instead of Twirl so thats going back.

They sent a carrot cake last week and I sent it back but at least I had one coffee and walnut one. Its because they are on offer.

Better get on and be ready for when it arrives its quite a big order this week.
