Okay Dragon, hot whiskey liberally laced with lemon and honey, coming up.
You just sit by the fire and make yourself comfortable

Right, I'll just give the place a quick spruce up before the weekend...No doubt the saturday and sunday brigade will be in for the "specials" - can't have the place looking a mess can we ....0

Oh Ally, what a fright! Here's your Bailey's coffee, you have a sit down by the fire and settle yourself down (don't get too close to Dragon, it could be catching)
Alto, don't touch that yogurt.... I'm trying to grow blue cheese.... :eek:I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.0 -
Glad you are ok Ally-so sad for the family who lost home.
I am shattered-been doing too much and paying for it now-fibro is a real pain in all senses.Need a stiff drink caring for SIL is emotionally hard at moment-she is so forgetful-we had new fireplace and fire yesterday and everytime she comes into the room she goes"wow what a lovely new fire" it was amusing in a coping mechanism way to start with but wearing now!!sorry to winge-very tird-an early night will help-and a stiff drink first!:j this money saving is such fun:T0 -
Dragon, yes everyone is fine, thanks. We've had a spate of arson attacks in our town. Sometimes it's like being in Beirut! We take fire safety seriously as my partner lost a home to fire as a child. We kinda hoped that would be our one and only encounter with it.
We're going to a firework display tomorrow night so fingers crossed that goes off safely.Debt-free day: 8th May 2015 "Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck," Dalai Llama0
