  • morning all -

    weather here has been cold cold cold and the snow that fell on fri/sat is still lying and is now deadly slippy.... roads are a nightmare!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Morning D, welcome :wave:

    Poor you Squizz, on both counts (sore knees and walking on eggshells). Hope both things improve very soon.

    I fell on my ar$£ in the snow yesterday :rotfl: in front of the ex, his sister, and his best mate. :doh: B*gger!

    Notty, you are naughty.... :p (and lucky!)

    Going to walk into town in a bit to buy wrapping paper, pick up prescription (my asthma is always worse over Xmas so I need to make sure I have enough drugs) and buy a last minute present for someone I'd forgotten...oops.

    Am feeling rather chirpy though as I had a lovely Christmas card through the post from Mr Sunday. :) (And I am seeing him tomorrow night. :j :j)

    Right, today I need to start de-cluttering (move all the summer/small clothes into the suitcase for summer, sort out the wardrobe and list two dresses on ebay, find out how much it's going to cost to dry clean a suede jacket - ready for ebay listing, and trhen just general cleaning and taking stuff down the charity shop)

    Aargh, typed a reply then lost it.

    Squizz, have fun, but don't eat the traditional xmas eve meal - it's eels!

    Pap, how was the dog in the snow? Ours used to love it, she'd walk in the deepest bit by the garden walls and snuffle her nose in it. We used to throw snowballs to her, it was hilarious watching her trying to find out where it had gone when she caught it in her mouth and it disappeared. We were mean though....

    Just been to Asda *shudder*. I'm never going on a monday (pension day) morning again. Old men shuffling down the middle of the aisle, so you can't get past them, and then an old woman in the car park reversed out of her space even though I was behind her - had to slam my car into reverse and put my foot down to get away from her, she was stopping for no-one. Anyway, I've now got most of what I need for xmas - need some kind of duck and some ready prepared veggies, going to look online at what the different supermarkets are doing. I also got 3 remote control plug things, so you can turn off awkward to get to plugs, like the one behind the tv. Reduced from £15 to £5. I saw it on the grabbit board a while back but everyone was saying their local stores had sold out, I had a look on the off chance and grabbed some.

    Book club xmas meal tonight, so I'm going to rest up for that and look at the online menu to see what I want - I had a quick look last week and everything looked good, but I need to narrow it down to one meal! Although now that I'm not paying petrol to go to Skegness I can afford to look at the whole menu, not just the cheapest stuff. 9 hours till we meet, will that be enough time to decide in?!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
