back to mind. There are good ones near the wandering tops of Portmeirion too, but that's a touch too tender to remember....
I really appreciated your comment on book choice - absolutely right.

2. Call back from M at Cambridge Central - book found, derailed, en route:-)

3. Lumbering up big skip steps yesterday, saw little playing card fluttering. Kiddies' game, but French!...&has 'la maison' as latest bookmark. Need many; have many books on go, always.

4. Rang Woolyback Productions/Johnny Vegas Prod.Co.as no answer yet to em re:buying his glorious http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0076gm4
Lovely lady is working her way through over 600 similar responses. I'm so pleased. Marvellous chat and huge generosity: they're being sent to me! Asked about JV's potting: it is resuming, strongly, along with painting. He is shortly having studio/kiln chez lui. This is so good to hear.

5. Will shortly simply pack a few bits and go, sans faffing. I won't starve, won't die for want of a few things left behind.

chicken - you are not dense.
mhags - I'm glad you feel right being back in Oz. Have a lolly:-)
ccp - I apologise that somehow I missed reading your post, although thanking you for it. Think I saw 2 for 1.
' his horrified "oh my god, it's sodden in here" was particularly satisfying'-do as chicken advises. Sincere hopes that l.s is in the light of that long tunnel now.

lfs - 'No panties!! Thats what the lady said I had to do to 'get some air to my wound' Hahaha!!'
One of the stars in our village practice advised me thus 'whenever you can' several years ago. I do. Winter's difficult. She answers to 'our Gynae Queen' when called. All power to Pioneer Woman. Have you read her meeting up with Marlboro Man?

Not exactly a pleasure but a quick update on a long running saga almost as posted in Amazon Vine Member Forum:

Dr C went to pick up an item from the Postal Delivery Office yesterday. A card was dropped through last Monday, but the awful weather had stopped me from picking it up.

I knew it would be an Amazon Vine freebie as that was the only delivery I'd expected at that time.
Lo and behold, there were three other items with the freebie.

We hadn't had a card popped through for any of the other three, one of them was my grandson's missing Christmas present. From the date written on the box they had tried to deliver it, whilst I was out picking up two other parcels! ...

I then had to report it as 'found' and arrange to pay for it again, having been refunded. Amazon thanked me for my honesty, which was nice. (It didn't occur to me not to be.)

I know I was in on the date when the two other items were not delivered.
It takes me a while to get to the door thanks to arthritis, but I get there.
I wonder if the delivery guys thought, 'Oh God, not her again, Speedy Gonzales, let's just not bother...'

On the plus side, DGS now has his rugby helmet, I have another freebie of a breakfast item to trial and a beauty product, plus the family dogs have some food.

Hard boiled eggs, and house like a colander. Good job there are not botty burps then. oh, and Scottish lollies and customs. oi, mhags, grab them ashes will you, they cannot have them!

Ruffians, the lot of them. And a game tonight to boot as well.

2 If all things go well, you could join the BoP diet later this month, Further details are not available in any publication, but for a couple of nods and a winks, yous may get them later. And as we is off to footie tonight, a couple of snaps of DD’s heels. Talking of snapping heels, minds me of raffles. Just how did that cat know the warmest place in the cavern. Ms BoPsie thinks he be the sliced thing since best bread.

5 On target for 15 in 8. So do yous lots want details soon. Could make a fortune here guiding the likes of yous lot. It is all to do with that claw sandwich I has been eating. Note wrong with scratching a crab now and then. And cheese bits. Proper cheese, not that plastic encapsulated stuff, nor is it French either.

4 Ms BoPsie in bad books today. I nose she surfs round this parish, so I does not has to text her. She nose what she has forgets to do mes Fruit Salad for lunch. Nearly gisen away mes diet has mes not,

3 at the weekend, but mes has to do mes music discs again. Just listening to, avert yers ears &, John Lydon, Sex Pistols and Bodies. Other tracks as well. But it does sound daft on Pink Floyds the Wall with the two second gap between 47 German Planes were destroyed for the loss of only fifteen of our own aircraft. Proper reporting that. As I also worked for R. A. Force and Co Ltd, so no probs there in. Oh, and the text about life and the fact that Ms BoPsie now does my Steaks well down, but the loving has become rare.

Watching the Portcullis on the trains, on the iPlayer (Tax Free). Just noted that 2,000,000 downloads of Dr Who occurred. Wonder how many pay the tax, yet never watch Live Tv.

If you look closely, tonight on BT Sport at 7:30. You will see BoP in his blue top, No 19. I will be on the left line in the first half, grey trousers and a stunning Black Bonnet hat. Keep yers eyes peeled there in. Not often shown, but you will kick yers sens of you miss it. I nose, I fear you seating along now!

Thank you all so much for your messages, texts, pm's. Life must go on and I mustn't forget I have a little dog to care for, and about. Stiff upper lip and all that.

1. Much donated to CP
2. Listened to a dear friend who is has financial problems, regardless of a job with a fair salary this government has done her and tens of thousnds of others no favours
3. Whole house cleaned.
4. Ironing done
5. Just off to visit DGD2 and take her (belated ) birthday cards and present. My DGC, most of whom have celebrated their birthdays over the Christmas period, are now 22, 19, 17, 16, 13 and 12. And I'm broke...

Have a good afternoon

Sparrer, I had missed your message about little Yang, I am so sorry. How thoughtful of you to donate to CP where the items can be of benefit to furries in need.
I hope your finances recover quickly. I only have 2 grandchildren. My DGS thoughtfully arrived 6 weeks early, so he missed being born over Christmas 2002.

Thinking of you Sparrer. but not using the odd huggie icon...:rotfl:

Didn’t have a good night, hot, agitated and very awake.:( but not tired today either in fact overly awake, wondering if its a lovely med side affect?

1.The clothes I ordered for work in the half price sale arrived and I am chuffed as the 2 cardigans are both really lovely.:D
2. My last orders for about 5 months now, all things I had my eye on previously heavily reduced, a pair of so called “quality” work trs, reduced in d’hams from 62 to 18 so ordered them up, and 2 summer tops from J.Browns I had looked at but couldn’t justify back in May.:o:o
3.Early pleasures tonight as an anticipated pleasure tonight DH is taking me for a drive later as I am going stir crazy “relaxing”:rotfl: I have 3 bags of clothes to drop off at a “clothes bin” from before we went away, and for a drive as he has to get a couple of things.
4. Checked our bank accounts to move things about while resting and ended up phoning up the home insurers who continued to take their d.debits even though we paid in full in advance, cheeky so n so’s, but that’s 140 coming back our way, I’ve spent 50 in the sales today so err is that quid’s in in a weird tenuous way lol…:rotfl:

8 for today

1. Day off

2. The cupboard under the stairs where all manner of junk, shoes, ironing board , hoover, bags for shopping etc lives. Rummaged around for shopping bags and found 3 boxes of dishwasher tabs, that I had forgotten that I had bought last January in £land . Saved me buying some

3. Went to L*dl (hence hunt for bags) got loads for less than £20 all in.

4. Went to Mr. T used some vouchers and spent another £10 on food and ..cough.. cough ..£37 on clothes for work you understand:o. It was going soooo well :rotfl:

5. Reverbed a penny in Mr. T ..every little 'elps

6. Took the terrier to the park she loved it but came back caked in mud - bathed and is now snoring next to me.

7. Phoned council as next door neighbour is their tenant ( and she asked me to) re fence panels. No date set but order raised.

8. Easy tea of Jacket P and quorn escalope effort

So many more pleasures when I have a day off :rotfl:

Pleasures last few days:

2. poor nights sleep last night (awake at 3.30am up for work at 6am) but a lovely afternoon nap today

3. brisk walk to hospital to see my physio and home again. She is really happy with how my pain and mobility have improved after personal trainer sessions in hospital gym. I don't feel up to spinal fitness class yet (an group session of 1hour) physically or body confidence wise. She is referring me to local community gym for 6 free sessions with personal trainer and then I can continue to use gym at a reduced rate of £1.50 per session.

5. Father Brown back on BBC in the afternoons... recorded for enjoyable easy watching in the evenings

VJsmum

Evening all.

Hmm, the jury is out on Tony Newvoice, I still haven't got used to his sister Clarrie . Luiza is "oh Helen" I think. As for Rob, what is he up to? And how much more does Helen have to be subjected to? Nice handling of Jecks departure I think
Ooh PK, another Joe Browns fan. I have my eye on a couple of sale things - waiting for them to get down to ridiculous prices

Yesterday's pleasures

Yes I remember all too well chicken, and you won't let me forget it!
Thank you PK, I don't think I could cope with commando and dodgy hugs in the same post
mcculloch I adopted the twins from CP, it's the least I could do to give them the tins, packets, treats etc rather than someone who can afford to buy their own
Thank you Skint. I like Toby, you can taste the cheese in their cauli cheese
VJsmum SA sounds lovely, it's on my list - along with about 50 other places! Better get my skates on, only Yorkshire, Blackpool, Norfolk, Croatia, Birmingham, Hayling Island and maybe southern Spain booked for this year. Luckily the fellowship convention hotels let us pay the discounted rate for as many extra days as we want and I'm saving for my NZ treat next year. Where would you suggest in SA?

Sweet dreams
