General Chat

Morning all,

Sunnyish here this morning and its 9 degrees and pc says mostly cloudy.

Anng I don't understand your post. I can't walk to a post box with parcels and have them signed for or bank a cheque in a post box.

Wello nobody should be calling today so I will just get on with housework.

Good morning all dry but grey here and 6 degrees. was going to be having the shed foundation extension done today but that has been put off until tomorrow so I will probably now go into town.
Mel much more simple to walk to the post box, your system is always fraught with decisions. :-D

Well I had to get to the post van so looked to see when the shopping would come like how many stops away and it said one stop!!!! Now living where I do it could be miles away or just up the road. I rang Em to see if she would come and wait incase he came and she did. The van leaves at 11am ish. So off I go and up the road just a little way from our drivein was a Asda van so I stopped and asked him if he was Jamie and he said yes. Told him Em was down the house waiting if he came and he told me he could'nt deliver till 20 mins as they were'nt aloud to deloiver early. So off I go and post my parcel and bank a cheque come back and he's still sitting there in the gateway. Told Em so she went off to work and the van came down a little while later. He said they get told off if they deliver before the alloted time and they are tracked.

What is the world coming to ??? Then off he went and we had been chatting so when I came in and went to unpack my 2 packs of butter were squashed, one very badly showing the butter to the air. I have asked for a refund. It looks like the wrapping machine has grabbed it in the wrong place putting the wrapper on. Yu would really think the person who packed the shopping would have noticed that. I'll send a pic later on.

Morning Anng and all,

Dull and wet looking out there this morning and its 11 degrees here so 1 degree warmer here then . There's not much wind out there as I can't see the trees moving. Hope it stays dry for your walk to the hairdressers and back.

Shopping comes today and no subs so far so thats good.

Good morning all very dark and damp here at the moment 10 degrees, I can't quite tell if the wind has dropped but it is not raining at the moment. hair appointment at 12 o'clock so I hope it doesn't rain too heavily.

I enjoyed meeting my friends Mel we had a lovely chat. Lunch was ok but I have had better in the Beefeater. I got the impression they had a Monday Chef on duty. staff were more interested in chatting to each other I felt than serving. Garlic mushrooms were very hard (overcooked), fish and chips was fine but the chips were insipid (white) although soft, so cooked. But it was 'OK'.

Hope you enjoyed your lunch Anng.

Why is it that it dos'nt matter what time I go round to corn the big girls it always starts raining.

WAter man did'nt do anything but said he would get the blokes round to take the stop cock they put in back out and see if that makes any difference so I am no better off than I was bedore, still low pressure.

Mandy I bought a loose bottom one years ago from lakeland and the bottom never has come out but I still use it. I just line it with greaseproof and it comes out ok.

No no more mice just the three so I am hoping no more find their way in.

Really windy here and now its 12 degrees with some sun and clouds.

Waterboard man is here

Morning all,

Sunny now but first thing it tipped down with rain ,the wind seems to be picking too.

Anng hope you enjoy your lunch with your friend .

Mel any more mice or do you thing you've caught them all now ,I've just done a pile of ironing ,I was going to get my Christmas cakes made but have decided to buy two new tins after getting my old ones out and looking at them ,one is a loose bottom one and its a devil to get the loose bottom bit in level .

Morning Mel Same as you Mel 13 degrees and very windy. was showery but blue sky at the moment. slept well last night. Plenty of small jobs to do indoors but out for lunch today. Friends (I have been friends with her for 47 years) taking me for lunch at the Beefeater in Gloucester. Picking me up at 12.30.

Morning all,

Very windy here this morning but 13 degrees and the suns trying to come out. I have three parcels to post this morning and it could be 4 if one lady would pay.

Nothing planned for the rest of the day but I could do some ironing.

What are you lot up to?

No wonder you slept late then.. yes been dark and horrible here today.

Anng I did'nt go to bed until 2.15am.

Been miserable here all day.

Mandy yes I liked Clare doing it too, a lovely clear voice.
Very emotional for me the song Bring him Home. One of T's favourite songs from Les Mis.
Days like today I am envious of your fire. I have just put the heating on low but it is not the same as seeing an actual fire.
Mel that was late to sleep in to. I thought I was late eventually waking at 0815.

Morning girls,

I only woke up at 10.53am, I had been up once in the night for the loo and it was still dark so went back to bed. Fatal thing to do really but I went to bed late as I was watching Poldark again on Iplayer and did'nt realise the time hence late to bed late to rise.

Its grey here this morning and only 10 degrees now and pc says rain to stop. Rained in the night cos it battered the bedroom window.

well not seen BIL this weekend and I don't expect he will turn up today as he usually goes back to Farmborough tonight back to work.

Morning all,

Very foggy when we got up about quarter to eight but that's cleared and the sun is shining now.

Anng we really enjoyed the festival of remembrance and thought it was well done too ,like Claire Balding doing it she has a nice clear voice .

Colin is just lighting the fire as the family are coming this morning for coffee and like to see a nice fire .

Good morning all, a grey start to the day here but 7 degrees so no frost. I think we are forecast rain. I do need to get down the garden and remove some ivy from where the shed was but not if it rains of course. I do also have a list of indoor jobs needing doing. I always have a list and work my way through it. Trouble is at the same time adding more jobs to the end of it.

slept quite well last night, I was later to bed as I was watching the festival of remembrance which, last night I thought, was really well done. I do love to watch the Royal Marines.

sun is still shining here and 10 degrees so not cold in the sun. Trouble is it is so low that it is hard walking into it. Hard to see where you are walking. Strangely I found it was better if I took my reactolite glasses off as going dark didn't help. I did have a quick walk into the park just to see if the trees are changing. They are, but very slowly.

Mel I talk to him all the time, sometimes I do tell him off for leaving me to sort things out that I don't always understand. Like, why are there so many plugs plugged in behind the TV so I can't reach them what are they for/doing?

good luck with your selling.

I fee fior you Anng as I know how hard it is at these times. Keep your chin up and thinkj of all the lovely memories you have shared and he's not far away from you. I still say godnight to my oh and talk to him telling him the thigs I have done.

No mouse today so I am hoping I have cracked it.

Its 10 degrees here and the suns just gone in. Not done the shop yet but have cleaned the bathroom and done up two parcels to post on Monday and there will be another one to do up later on as I have a bid on something which finishes at 3.38pm. If you get a bid it will sell.

Nice to see you Mandy and I have ordered my stuff for the Christmas cake. I am going to make Em one this year and a small one for me and for my neighbours.
