ZCC - nice to see you back!

Have turned off all the lights (including the fish tank ones) except the hob because the veg are coming up to boil and I have a plethora of candles burning about the place.

I keep bumping into things :eek:

Mind you, looking out the window up and down the road, I think I'm the only one!

There are a few houses in complete daekness here(no tellies/comps, anything), so think that might be more to do with the fact that they have all gone to the pub!!!!!:rolleyes:

flyingfresian thats save you a reapir bill :T - big hug for your Dad.

I went for a big hug and a bottle of good whisky - and that was still half the price of the door he bought for the washing machine :rotfl:

Um Dr Dragon came downstairs so we could switch everything off upstairs but I need the downstairs lights on otherwise if I stumble (being on crutches) I will be full length and possibly hitting my head, shoulder etc!

It's really dark here - didn't notice untill all the houses light were off that our one and only street light isn't working, (very small cul de sac)

I love the dark, it is very soothing.

I spent the hour reading the thread that greenbee posted the link for and it just emphasized what a lovely community we have here!!!!!!! It was a continuation of last years thread and last year it was very argumentative and this year there is no real enthusiasm shown - well thats what came across to me - I honestly think people were put off posting though for fear of being shot down in flames. IKNOW I WAS!!!!

We don't get an extra hour - we LOSE an hour!! That's why I commented - having to get up early after having an hours less sleep is not good!!!

No problem about the meet - numbers don't matter so even last minute additions are fine

Yea, realised that a while back when I was working out about setting the alarm - coz I was thinking 6am start which would have been 5am winter time, was thinking ohhh, I get an hour extra as don't have to get up till 6am instead of 5am, then realised, doh! was well p'd off when it hit home... :rotfl:

Froddy/Soappie - it looks a lovely place, hope I can make it, I love the New Forest - me and hubby stayed in a beautiful hotel there once - Rhinefield House? something like that, it was absolutly wonderful.

Have just watched Grand Designs - what a lovely couple and what a MAMMOUTH task they had with that castle... wow.
Brokeback Mountain on now, have never fancied watching that, no real reason, just never fancied it - going to have some afters now - bananas and custard to wash down my dinner of roast chicken breast with jacket potato and beans...:D

WEEKEND LIST...

Fook the house.. spend some with the people you love.. you never know how long you will have them and the housework will always need doing! You get your revenge in the end when you become the dust!
Hug up those little ones and OH's.. even if they are being painful! And raise a toast to the ones we no longer have with us.
