Oh dear Cheery, NL has given you my ears! Not something you want to be in possession of at the moment :eek: :rotfl:

Only if they come in a nice presentation box...

You sound very energetic at the moment despite still adjusting to full time work. Fab news on the book chapter, that's very impressive

It is indeed...

Cheery - sorry, I am working on an intermittent brain cell at present ... someone on here was complaining of terrible ear ache (I did wonder if I was being a div as you have bin off jollying in the smoke an' all)

We will be in't peak district and I know that the Sheffield line goes somewhere close ... I am doing my shift at the charity shop and I have invited the others for a bit of shopping and cake eating.

I am working 9 while 1, but they will need to shop before that and have tea in the second hand book shop or coffee morning. After 1, I can join them at the non-charity cafe for lunch and/or we can have a jaunt to sunny Buxton, should there be enough space in my vehicule (all just ideas at present since I have not had confirmed attendance from anyone)

If you can come you can see where I weave my computer magic with my silver surfers :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Ooh - still not entirely sure where you're going though :rotfl: Sounds like possibly Buxton later, but somewhere that's on the Sheffield train line first, second hand book shop with tea shop? Sounds like Buxton, but there's no train? Er, Hathersage? Train, but no book shop. Edale? Train, but again, no book shop. Castleton? Perhaps a bookshop, but no train :rotfl:

Oh dear, I'm not doing very well, can you just tell me where you're going to be please :rotfl: Poor little brain not working today! :rotfl:

Took car to garage this morning, quick bit of shopping, then home on t he bus for a day of hard wokring at home.

Realised as I got off the bus that I'd left the house keys attached to the car keys, and they were therefore in the garage too, on the other side of town :rotfl: Cue morning in a cafe Fortunately, goodness knows why, I'd taken some work with me!

Anyway, home now, with car intact (£60 to replace part of the darn exhaust, bl**dy thing), INSIDE the house :rotfl:

Spent £17 of the palace fund on a fabulous turquoise satin duvet/sheet set that I spotted on the way back from the garage (the first time :rotfl:) We've got a red one, and this'll be a lovely alternative
Had to carry the damn thing all the way home, then all the way back to the garage again, but it is rather spiffing

OK ... and the answer is ... Whaley Bridge!!! To keep on the Sheffield line, I think the closest station is Chinley and then you have a little jaunt along the High Peak canal to get to the metropolis. If people wanted a walk then WB is fine, but icecream and posh cafes - I'll need to drive over the hill to Buxton

Red - should you want to try hopi candles and have an able assistant (they are not something you can really do alone), I have some you can have with an instruction sheet (they were on offer for chinese new year and valentines (?) was what the chinese lady said!!!)

Those ear candles sound really romantic NL!

Aha, I never would have thought of Whaley Bridge, not my stomping ground! Will investigate re timings etc and get back to you...

That sounds like a really fab day out. I come from New Mills originally!!!!!!! Love it all around there. Hence my love of the countryside and mountains.

Cheery you must be very settled and happy with work you sound so UP. Good for you.

Cheery_Daff

Thanks cheri, I do feel rather settled and happy at the minute :j :j Just popped to a pub on the other side of town with some friends I've not seen for a while. Feels pretty darn good to say a spontaneous YES every now and again :j :j (and it only cost me £1.50 :rotfl:)

Sleep well, and someone remind me to renew my library books in the morning!

lotti379

Cheery - renew your library books!

On another note, hope everyone has a lovely day, I'm feeling a tad snowed under with work right now but will get back to chatty posting in due course!

Cheery_Daff

Thanks Lotti - that's just the reminder I need! :rotfl: :rotfl: Shall do it now

Cheery_Daff

Done - although they were due back on 15th apparently - oh dear! Not very MSE

Eating tasty porridge with apples and dates

work work work today - nice evening in the pub last night though :j
