    I'm another fan of Wensleydale and cranberry :)

    Can someone come round here and deal with my procrastination. I took the car to the garage this AM - I was panicing about a noise so this was legitimate, but I then went shopping (not really necessary) and have listed books on Amazon and read the forums instead of making tea and writing the 10k word report I need to submit on 5 Jan. Grr Argh!

    Sally, I might be able to help you with 385p!

    I've just spoken to both of my parents. Mum: So, your birthday's Friday 1st. No, it's Saturday 2nd. Oh yes, I was getting it mixed up with new years day. Dad, so your birthday's sunday? No, it's saturday.

    If they can't get it right what chance is there anyone else will!

    I buy it from the Long Clawson dairy - it's home. £5 a round in the year but more than doubles at Christmas so we buy it early and store it

    Our local MP died suddenly on Boxing Day. Heart attack whilst walking with his family. I knew him well through the shop, his attending Guiding events and DD2 was at school with his daughter. At the centenary launch at Belvoir Castle he was telling me how much he was looking forward to spending time with his family when he stood down at the next election. He was 63 and worked tirelessly for the constituency regardless of your political views. He wrote the letter to the jSA for me. I feel sad. Life is so unfair at times.

    Sorry - been sitting on that for a few days.:o
    Saw that on TV Bookie-how sad,just as he was to enjoy fruits of his labour too....
    Debt-free...and staying that way...

    Its been a few years since we have had the snow last so long.

    Probably about '86 here.

    It only lasted about a week in '91 IIRC.
