Sheila, my sister was pleased with the log basket ,fitted on her hearth a treat.
Cramp in the leg can be painful, makes your leg sore for ages , hubby takes tablets for cramp.
Fancy Beryl shutting poor Donnie in the shed lol
I take it the missing piece of jigsaw hasn't turned up yet then lol

Good of then to fit you in for your colour Jane , shame about the party , but if OH's not feeling to good its best not to spread the germs !!

We're not going out anywhere ,it'll be just the two of us ,we usually stop up and see the fireworks on the television ,and tomorrow just a quiet day ,might try the coast if its sunny .

David a Happy New Year to you and Ellen, is your heating all fixed now ?

Fancy Beryl shutting poor Donnie in the shed!! What a girl she is.

My BIL's mum's head shakes too but I can't think what they call it. Jane should know!!

We are just the two of us for tonight and tomorrow but you may see me on here tonight to see the new year in with whoever is around or awake!!

Am so looking forward to Larkrise even if their clothes are too clean Ann. Put that aside and enjoy the stories. I have a soft spot for ? minds gone blank. I thinkit is Laura's dad.

Off to do the chickens before it is too late.

David you have'nt told us what happened about your heating and we have all been worrying about you and Ellen.

Laura's dad, is that Brendan Coyle? I don't like his character very much, but I love the postman's awkwardness and Minnie's innocent blunders!! All the characters are very strong aren't they.

Good idea and I did try that with the washer Mandy......didn't work unfortunately! It is a bit of a palava to reset, switch off, press 2 buttons together while switching on (need 3 hands), after 3 beeps, let buttons go and press again straightaway, after 4 beeps let go and fingers crossed it resets. Things used to be so much easier!!! I suspect me washing too much at once caused it. I've written down what to do now.....just watch me I'll lose that next. lol

Went and got the car washed today to get some of the road salt off it.........huge queue, everyone had the same idea.

We'd rather stay in New Year's Eve too, a nice relax and watch the fireworks on tv too.

Better get my GR searches ready for the free session..........

It is just Pasta tonight ,and then tomorrow evening 3 Bird Roast.I hope everyone is feeling up to eating it.It cost a bomb lol
I used to love New Years Eve when I was younger.Mum and Dad always had a great party when half the village seemed to turn up.Or if I wasn't there I would be out on the town in Plymouth .Oh Happy Days!!!

Will just pop in to say we got home about 4.30pm. The time it took to unload the car, clear up the mess in the porch, kitchen, lounge. Hovered through. it was 5.30 plus. I did put the oven on when we came in. Roast Lamb. I did the veg. etc after we were cleaned up. Lewis's dad came for him about 6.30. We have had dinner and washed up. Now in dressing gowns and relaxing.

Heard about my brother. I'ts an infection not a blockage, which the doctors are pleased about. Now stuffing him with anti-biotics.

Will try to get back for BIG BEN. if not HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL>

Phew....they extended the time till 9.00pm so I traced a few 1911 ones......problems printing the images so I ended up making notes and copying the typed versions. lol Not as good as Ancestry when they did this.

Glad things look a bit better for your brother Frank now they know its an infection and have started treating it. Nice getting your dressing gown on isn't it!! It seems to have been a very long week.

Off to watch telly now, so in case I'm not back.....

HAPPY NEW YEAR

to you all.
