Poor Mel, I find mine is running slower......must be folk ordering all their presents!

Sounds to me like you will be looking for NEW stuff Shirl.........once an idea gets in the head of us ladies.......Frank will KNOW what I mean....lol. I hope your son is improving and if he goes to live with his sister It will ease the workload for you.....maybe OG won't be holed up too. You have had your hands full for a while.

I can't keep those plants from one year to the next........well done Ros for keeping it this long.

Hope you have some thick tights for the weekend Jane

I rang a lady at that Homes*nse shop I went to with my sister... to see if they had any more glass parrots. She reckons they have several, which surprised me as I thought they had finished doing them, so we are going to have a look tomorrow morning. I have a horrid suspicion she might not know her 'birds' too well and is including the glass Toucans they had???? Hope it won't be a wasted journey along the M6!

Another early night for me tonight I think....... I'll try putting some Lavender on my pillow if I can find it........if that fails I am tempted to get up and hoover or something........but then it would be 2 of us that have a bad night.

Hi thats just what husband said why did you not turn round and go back but asked a women walking her dog and she took me down a lane then left me giving me some complicated instructions which I did follow then came out somewhere I did not reconise and got lost at least I got home
and cannot wear hiking boots they are too heavy on my feet had my wellies on and still my feet were froze.Not to worry did make it home.
the dogs are sleeping very cosy by the fire no worry there.
Aprils never been on a horse in her life just a donkey at the seaside Jane..
I am going to watch the jungle its getting very good now I watched Man u last night but it was disapointing until Rooney scored bless him.

No thick tights Ann.Just hold me in tights lol.I haven't worn tights for so long.I'm sure they will feel really uncomfortable.I will probably be taking them off at some stage.Not in public of course!!!!!
Sheila ,I think wellies are the worst things for making your feet cold.It is time they made fur lined wellies lol.I hate wearing wellies.I remember how they used to rub my legs as a child.

We now have a fine covering of snow !!

Will say night night now watching the jungle .

Well I have just woken up.!!!!.I must have nodded off.The dog is looking at me waiting to go in the garden so I'll do that and then be off to bed.
See you in the morning.Night Night xx

Morning all,
8.17pm
We have a good three inches of snow here today ,heard on the news that a snowplough has got stuck on a slip road in the town that goes up on to the A47 and a breakdown truck that came to pull it has got stuck too now !!!so the roads are really bad this way .
Toby nearly went loopy this morning when he saw the snow ,he was just like a child lol he chased round the garden like a mad thing .

No work for hubby today ,he carn't get on in the snow its out side work taking down a chimney and building it back up again, still i have a list of jobs lol

8.45am.

Morning,

Don't know if this will get through to you as I have'nt been able to post all day yesterday.

Frosty start and our bedroom furniture is on the way as the driver rang a while ago for directions.

9.16am.

Furniture just arrived and the driver is not pleased as he has to carry the 13 boxes down the garden from the big arch!!

This should be good!! OH has gone to help him.

9.18am.

OH has the big mower and trailer at the arch now so he can bring it down in that!!

Morning Mel,
That's a lot of boxes Mel, what ever have you bought ?
i bet the driver was glad of a bit of help .

We had more snow !!

9.45am.

I now have a maze of boxes in the hallway. You can hardly get through!!

One of the men who came lives a few minutes from Birmingham Airport.

9.47am.

We have bought two tallboys!! (tall chests of draws) one two plus two chest of draws, one bedside cabinet, one kingsize bed and a dressing table.

Have you got to put these altogether !!
or are they all ready made up?

9.49am.

OH lied there are 9 boxes.

9.51am.

Have to put a bit together. Think the bedside is already put together but shall have a look later as they have to be stored for a few days as he has some stuff from the study in the bedroom at the moment.

9.59pm
So you've got a while to read the instructions then Mel, i'am no good at putting things together ,i leave that to hubby.

10.09am.

I lied there was another box out on the trailer so we have ten boxes. You can't come through the front door but you can now get down the hall.

10.11am.

Most of it is together as I think it is mainly the bed which is in bits and has to be constructed.

Not sure how it is going to be as there is a nasty hole in one of the boxes and one box dos'nt sit well as it is on the floor.

10.23am.

It's gone crazy again, when I try to go to page 300 it takes me to page 10!!
