General Chat

Evening all,

It's been a windy day here with lots of sunshine ,I did some washing but as it was late going in the machine I didn't bother to hang out as it soon dries on the linen horse.
Got a few jobs done in the house ,the upstairs bathroom had a good clean and I mopped a few floors downstairs.
Yesterday we went to tesco for a few bits and I bought a couple of nice hoodies for Jake for Christmas and a nice fluffy pj top with bottoms for DIL there was 25% off all clothes so that saved a bit ,I bought Jake a hoodie from there last year and he's worn it quite a bit .

So extending the shed base Anng does that mean your having a bigger shed or just extending so you have a path bit in the front of the door .

Mel wasn't that silly that the driver couldn't deliver early and had to sit there until it was your time ,by the end of the day they probably run late .
Sounds as if you've had a busy day turning out the bedroom ,did you find any treasures

I can walk to a post box but can't post my parcels in it and get it signed for.

I have been having the spare bedroom out. I have just washed all the windows and had a good damp dust and now I am going to hoover it. I have also cleaned down the front door inside and out so feel I have done enough HW for today and I hav'nt even thought about dinner tonight.

Vera won't have much to catch up on will she? its just you and me. I do wish Mandy would pop in each day and Annx and Gwyn now and then.

Sorry Mel, I was not very clear I meant I had it much more simple by being able to walk to a post box. I do know that you can't.

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 .
