Morning everyone

Hugs to those that need/want them that are having a hard/sad time at the moment x

Be careful in the snow those that have it x

Now getting light, raining and chilly here this morning. DH up and off to work stupid early.

Dinner last night was the LO roast lamb, mash, carrots, green beans, cauli/brocc cheese and yorkshires - was lovely, dessert from the tins for the menfolk. Tonight we will be having chicken chasseur.

Work was not so busy yesterday and we had a much better day with the computer systems, most now seem to be working.

My back feels much better, have been using pain relief gel - it's suits me much better than taking tabs etc, have also been having a hot bath in the evenings.

Only working until lunchtime today, then have the normal list of chores to do, want to get some washing in the machine as the basket seems rather full all of sudden, asked the boys to tidy their rooms and then the wash basket seems full (wonder how that happens??!!) Will get the last 2 xmas prezzies sorted by this weekend, so then just my boys to finish and the remaining food to either order or buy etc.

Have a great day everyone, stay safe and well x

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland :xmassmile
In my calender - an elf :snow_laug

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Morning :hello:[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Congrats Topsy :j[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Cold and damp here, I want snow [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]I've been sorting and making lists. I'm getting organised - thought I was organised before but this is something else I have some friends cheering me on, which is very helpful.[/FONT]

I've done a bit of handwashing and cleaned out the animals. I need to sort through the freezer and make a few meals, which I'll split into portions then freeze. Still haven't got enough room for my party food, but this'll help a bit

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]I've been told what the other trus want for Christmas. It's mostly DVDs which is great, I don't even have to leave the house I'm heading over to Amazon in a mo.[/FONT]

Good Morning all, and bon voyage to those who are travelling today Its snowing here in Kent and laying slightly but not too bad, I hope it goes away as I too am not a lover of the stuff.Looks nice but is awful to walk in when you need a stick as I do, but then I just have to stay indoors until its gone, as falling over at my age is a bit dangerous, and the NHS dosn't need me clogging up a bed.
I have lots of stuff indoors anyway so have no need to go out for anything.I have today off as its DDs Wednesday off this week, so I am just going to potter around and make some cakes today.It was lovely to see my brother Davy, he is looking so well, and he got to see both of my DDs and families ,and is now on his way back to France where he lives, he is hoping to come back next May for a slightly longer visit which will be great if he can.

Eldest DD Shelley is coming on O.K. and sensibly for once is listening to her old Mum, and slowing herself down a bit.She will be off for at least another 3 weeks and probably just pop in to work just before they break up for the holidays, so she will get another two weeks on top to help her recouperate a bit.
She is really pleased as British Airways sent her a cheque to cover her additional days at her hotel when her and her OH were stuck in NYC during Hurricane Sandy.It was very good of them and it was quite a chunck of cash so well done B.A. for looking after their customers for a change

Right, time I got the coffee pot on as I am in need of some caffeine to jump start my day.Victoria sponge cake and some cookies are on the menu for baking this morning.
I have two chaps from my late OH's lodge coming tomorrow for a home visit so some HM cake will go down a treat I think.
Take care everyone, and do be careful if you are driving or walking, especially if you are like me (I'm maybe weeble-shaped but I definitely don't bounce when I fall over :))
Cheers chums

Nj - Hope you can "look" at DS.

Well tiddlers aren't at school, DD1 left groaning about the snow...she was wrapped up like a yetti when she left, shirt, jumper, blazer, coat, scarf. I've just seen her gloves on her bed....<rolls eyes>. Have swept and mopped downstairs, Shake n Vac'd upstairs, WM is on, TD will follow. I've got a PF clean todo today, might ask mil/fil to pop up or i'll cancel (dont want them getting it).

So for me a lovely day in

Morning everyone,

Very cold here in Notts but no snow. Had to defrost the car as I had forgotten to put my blanket over the windscreen as I normally do which was annoying.

I have decided I am going to write a letter to the college to complain. Like you say, another trip may not turn out so well and the tutors need to take more care with the kids in their charge!

My central heating seems to be playing up, it makes a roaring noise when the gas burners are on when on high. Ive spoken to the plumber who serviced it back in October but hes too busy to sort it out at the mo so must keep an eye on it and just keep it on a low setting but for longer to heat up. I think my bill is going to be high next time. :eek:

In work today, going to be quiet I think so i've brought in some dvds to watch to pass the time. Going to have soup again for tea when I get home at 7, thats what I had last night as well but its my comfort food. Not lost any weight this week but I didn't expect to as I've been pigging out :rotfl:.

Congratulations to TT on the new job.
Molly, I do my girls stocking fillers with fluffy socks, posh shampoo & conditioner, kiddy sweets, pjs, deodrant, body sprays and hair stuff. (Basically the stuff they like but I don't normally buy each week because of the expense). Hth
nlj, try not to worry too much, you will make yrself ill, hope its all ok.
Pooky, so envious of yr roaring fire, going to go away and dream now.

Best wishes all, have as good a day as you can and enjoy.:)
