Don't know about London Mau, hopefully the main roads will be salted. Hope your grandson gets on OK in Africa.

BC that looks beautiful, very tasteful and what do you think about these pink cushions to go with it all, sorry about the holes but put the other way up it wont show.

While the cat's away and all that!!

*puts up feet on table....yes that looks a treat, Ann, the more disgus...er...tasteful the better...she is just going to love the changes. Have put my Aunt Fanny's photo of her prize pig on mantelpiece...*sighs happily....

Mau please dont worry, the snow has almost gone from here. Snowed for hours and then it just disappeared! Just a bit skiddy now....

XX

Erm BC skiddy is what worries!!!!

No I meant soft and slushy Ann:-))). Have just stuck my head out of the kitchen window, Mau, and all is fine....ze ice as melted.... XX

Thanks Linda and Ann

They're travelling from Newcastle, son in lawl isn't worried but,you know how it is? I'll be thinking about them all tomorrow,just hope they don't get stuck somewhere.. we women are born to worry aren't we?

M. says he's excited but nervous aww he's only 19 and our youngest..(.OH tells me "it's not as if he's going to Afghanistan") MEN! lol....but I know he's right...

HI BC...........skiddy ? skiddy? I suppose it's the journey down the motorway that worries me,but B has given them his trusty spade so all should be well :O)...I hope lol

Love the way you've done up the place BC photo.of prize pig is soo tasteful dwarling!! :O) XX

*blushes at the praise...thanks Mau, hope Daff will approve, you know her taste is immaculate:-) No it's not skiddy Mau, I stuck my head out of window for you! lol Give them my number just in case...what an adventure he is going towards...he might even meet up with my pal the monkey lady!

BC XXX.

Well they say that in this weather the motorways are the safest roads to travel on, usually kept mainly clear and all traffic going in one direction, but I do know how you feel.

And yes Mau we would all worry but as BC says, what an adventure.

Grandson had his long hair cut today,shortest we've ever seen it!..but he does suit it (there will be no hot water or even much water,)where he's going, so easy to deal with and probably fresher in the heat.

Certainly an adventure!

morning very cold here again but we have no more snow since tea time yesterday however sons car was stuck fast so had to get the spade out .
we only had half the kids in yesterday , and we were the only school in Bishop that was in at work so no dobt it will be the same

we are off !!! due to ice so will wait and see if the roads improve might go to As.. if the taxis are running that is

Take care Maz and enjoy a bonus day off!!

*bounces onto thread followed by professional decorating team (glares sweetly at BC) armed with swathes of material, pots of paint and other erm, stuff)* Right..... this thread needs a lick of paint and a dust down.....

OOOOH look... an aspidistra... I love them!! *adds rubber plant and triffid so Aspy won't be lonely*

Aw Bless... look at that.... Peppa Pig's great granny's long lost portrait, what on earth was your Aunt Fanny doing with it? OMG she never.... no!!! she never ate gt Granny, did she?????... were you hiding that in your cupboard under the stairs, BC? It looks rather good there, don't you think? * discreetly covers with photo of Simon*

Mau, goodness, what an adventure for your grandson..... you'll hardly recognise him when he gets back... they mature so quickly. I agree, though, we can't help worry about them... we are programmed to do it!! I hope he has a wonderful time... I am sure he will.

Maz, the same here.... more schools are off today than yesterday.. because of the ice... it al looks rather beautiful and Snow Queenish, I have to say.... I kept the heating on low last night, it was so cold... turned it down to 15. Enjoy the day off!!

~~~~~~~~~ to Ginnie and Linda.... beautiful sunshine here today, but very cold.

Jude, my word, doesn't time go quickly? Your littlie was just a baby when I started to post.... well, I think she had just been born when I started to *look in* first of all.... it feels such an age ago.

I watched next door's young dog out in the snow yesterday... he was sooooo funny... he is about 2, I think... a bit younger than my two boys.... and is a very big but playful breed... wire haired German Pointer.... fabulously friendly and playful, but a lolloping heap in the snow, lol... he loved it! The lads were throwing snowballs for him.... he retrieved them so delicately, and was quite puzzled when they disintegrated in his mouth, lolol... or when he couldn't find them at all, lolol

Ann, I hope your mouth is loads better today.... is T still home, no golf? R is.... helping (?) of course, lolol ;¬)) I am not sure if R is off tomorrow... I did say that I would be a big girl and go on my own again, lol..... but I am being a wuzz now... but if this snow and ice has cleared, he ought to go in, really, I suppose.... they have been so good to us!

Right... off to have a wander around the boards...... see you all later!

Love

Daff xxxxx

Hi, well just off to have a shower and going to pop up the hospital ...........hope the main roads are clear. son has just cleared the driveway for me and l can see the car again, lol.
Hope you enjoy painting this thread Daff, lol, keep you busy for a few hours !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take care all, xx

Hi, the main road sound as if they are OK here Daff, not been out so can't guarantee it. we have food to last until the weekend, well if necessary we have food to last longer than that but could need bread or bread flour and maybe milk and potatoes by then. have unfortunately run out of rice as we had it at the weekend and SiL used it all up and not been shopping since. Plenty of pasta though. it isn't the roads we are concerned about but walking on the stuff, really don't want any broken wrists or ankles.

Well, yes T is orf golf so has done the i*****g and I have sworn at the bedroom, he has made coffee and is now at his PC, no doubt he will be looking for something to help me with in a minute when he gets bored!

I suppose the photo of Simon is marginally an improvement on the pig!! Don't know though! Glad you like the aspidistra. Where is BC this morning, hope she is OK?

Now Daff, do be a good girl today Lol!!!!

Good morning Mummo, hope the roads are OK for you and Eddie is also OK.

Welcome back Daff!!!..hope you're not too sore ;O)
i'm geting excited to find out how your interior is going to look lol pink & gold mebbe?

We had about three inches more of snow last night and now it's frozen solid. Jusy been in back garden to clear away for birds and put their food out,how DO they survive?poor things.Sun is shining so hopefully there'll be a thaw.

Not heard from travellers yet. Grandson will have an adventure for sure (he was on FB before he left saying goodbye to friends and laptop lol ) his 19 yr old cousin,OH's niece, is also flying out tomorrow to do volunteer work in East Africa.
We hear so much on media etc. about our young folk but there are lots who are good,kind kids!

Stay warm
Mau XX

...nice to see you Mummo X

Welcome home Daffy and....**thunderous look and glare!!......In future, .please do not leave your thread in the hands of er...hooligans who like pink...!! *points at Ann..... lol...bet you made lots of soup. *hands out bowl with winning smile:-

Mwah

XX

Or *points back at BC with sweet smile who likes florescent green and purple/orange/puce curtains with the peeling trompe de wotsit

*whispers.... I think she loved it really but was too embarrassed to admit what a good job we did!!

pmsl...Ann I am not sure what I meant with the peeling trompe wotsit! Hope your tooth is better today and you have cleared the snow from outside your door. *shines halo...I appear to be the only one on my street to scatter salt all over...

Yes, I think you may be right. Daffy, secretly, loves her new decor. Wait till she goes on 'proper' holidays, we can do lots more. Have just had soup, salad and a mug of tea in the nice mug TW gave me. and just slithered my way home....
