    :hello: Good morning everyone

    It's yet another beautiful weather day here so already got
    my plans in place. :Djardinage0.gif

    Lol sylv - love your families thinking re finishing the jigsaw! :grin:
    :rotfl::rotfl:

    fire**fly - my mum :A used to love doing jigsaws (I'm afraid
    I never had the patience :o) and I can remember a large
    completed jigsaw being fixed to a board to be used as a
    picture and was hung up for all to admire. It looked absolutely
    stunning. :T

    My goodness wingo - it was certainly all go where you are
    and I don't just mean the weather! So sorry to hear about
    the electrical fire at your DDs school. :eek: Do hope the
    school wasn't badly damaged and thank goodness the children
    weren't in the school at the time the fire started.

    Well, time to crack on ..... hope you're all ok. Have a lovely
    and lucky day and take care.

    Good Morning,

    Indie, so sorry to hear your news. I seem to have lost so many people in the last year or two but at least most of them were pretty old apart from my neighbour who was 50. Hope everyone is coping ok. x

    Gosh your weather sounds scary wingo. We finished up staying near Darlington last night so weren't too far away but we had lovely weather.

    Heading home later but hoping to call in at Bishop Auckland as we have never been before. Called into Northallerton yesterday and spent my Dorothy Perkins voucher (birthday present) on 3 nice new tops in the sale and M&Co had a 25% sale on too for Loyalty card holders so got a pair of trousers too.
    Hope everyone has a lucky day. Catch up later.

    good morning all :wave:
    sunny morning here :dance:
    I've been busy having a bit of a spring clean & even
    washed all the blinds :D

    no, i'm not stopping with my herbs wingo :dance:
    they are something I enjoy very much & are easy
    to maintain etc,
    sorry to hear about the fire & glad no one was hurt x

    lol Alfie, am glad someone else remembers them
    being used for picture,
    I remember my dad completing a huge one that
    hung in the hallway of his house for years :D

    sounds like you're having a fab time sheils :j

    Morning everyone :)

    There was lots of coaches at the school ready to transport all the kids to different schools. Hopefully it will be back to normality in a few days. They break up on Friday anyway.

    Good for you Sheils getting yourself some tops. I bought myself 2 the other day as I was short on tops.

    Good luck with your plans for today Alfie and enjoy the sunny weather! :)

    Thinking of you today indie and good luck with the funeral arrangements xx

    Well best get ready for work. I think it's going to be a busy week as a few staff off.
    Good luck for wins this week everyone ;)

    Oh that's good fire**fly that you're still doing your herbs as I know you enjoy doing them. Glad you're getting help with other things :)
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    Morning. Sunny here.

    Thinking of you Indie.

    Wingo bad news about the school. Good children were not in. Your weather sounds very strange. Sorry about your roof. Our schools broke up last week. Strange Easter will be at the end of the holidays.

    Sheils sounds as though you have been lucky dodging the rain.

    Sylvia great excuse to come to lunch. Lovely having family around though.

    Hope everyone has a lucky week.

    Hi everyone, lovely sunny day here today, been out and about.

    Sorry to hear about the fire at the school Wingo and hope they sort it out soon. Sounds like the weather was scary your end, hope you manage to sort the roof.

    Remember making pictures out of jigsaws firefly. Could do with one of those rolls you can get so I can put it away and bring it out again LOL. DD & GD coming for roast chicking dinner tonight as well, will send one back for her hubby I expect.

    Glad you have had a good time away Sheils and safe journey home.

    Hope everyone else is OK

    Big hugs for Indie and anyone else needing a hug today.
    BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO POST THE COMPETITIONS

    Indie, how awful, my heartfelt if belated condolences to you on the loss of your niece. I have a daughter the same age.
    My son lost a friend in similar circumstances a few years ago, and it still seems hard to believe.

    Sheils, I am a stone's throw from Bishop Auckland, nice little market town. My daughter works on the outskirts.

    Thanks for the kind comments about the Lego, this will probably be the last year I get to supply grandchildren with toys. I still have great nieces but am not allowed to pass free review items outside the immediate family. I will have to try for some competition wins.

    Although one never knows re the grandchildren. DS is 34 this year and ex did not become a father until he was 35. Well, not that I know about, anyway - nothing would surprise me about that man! I have to laugh..

    That reminded me of winning a Butterbear Wuzzle for DS when he was two. Butterbear was a bit feminine but he loved her. There were so many toy tie ins in the Eighties, and my children collected most, it seemed. We had He Man, inc Castle Greyskull, Thundercats, A-Team, Ghostbusters, Sylvanian Families, My Little Pony...

    Sheesh. No wonder I never had any money.
    Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.

    Well back home again. Enjoyed our trip and was lucky with weather although it is raining here again, Supposed to be nice tomorrow though.


    Enjoyed seeing Bishop Auckland mcculloch especially Stan Laurel's statue and the castle and park. My oldest son will be 34 this year too, remember all those toys.

    Topcashback has its humming bird comp back on if anyone hasn't noticed and Quidco has a game on too. I won 50p and 25p on Quidco and only 10p on Topcashback but they are a start to the month! O'h and I won a donut at McDonalds yesterday :D
