Hi Pippi
So pleased about the '6o%' thing:T
Good to hear the girls are still laying. My physio's hens have slowed up a lot but they are 'rescue ' battery hens so I guess anything is a bonus.
Just seen a weather warning for Orkney about snow so hope you can get home soon and safely tucked up .

:jWhoop Pippi !

That's my second 'whoop' today - Hypno has exchanged contracts on her new house!

Hurray! You beat the banks! And its so nice to see photies of the chooks mind you, not so nice to hear of the gales carrying on inside the house is the wind a bit better today?

Get that payment off sharpish! 60% discount is *really* too good to miss

hello thank you all - you knnow YOU lot did it not me - I was licking my wounds and feeling like an idiot!!

Anyway I'm home KC nope - the winds are NOT better - got to work ok - half way through today they came and told me to go home.

Never driven in anything like it before - like a humungous sand storm - but with black ice under snow which has (in places) drifted over the road - you go between not wanting to slide, not being able to see a thing into up and over snow drifts and kind of hope for the best - bit like trying to drive on a ski slope in a sand storm in the middle of a gale - very very wierd.

Not keen to go out in it again tbh. barely got down the track here cos of the snow - kinda just went for it and gently rolled over the worst of the drifting whilst crossing fingers and repeating the words in a mantra all the way home

oh duck, oh duck, oh duck, ooooohhhhhhh duck, over and over again

Home now though - it appears out door is not properly shutting at the bottom here - we've drifted snow inside the door up the side of the wall where the wind has hit the door full on - lol

no wonder the massive curtain over the door is moving about!!



I'm off to be brave and phone the evil first credit folk and pay that bill off - wonder what the FO said to them

'First credit, you're not going out to play, you're a very very naughty company'

Kittikins

WoWoWoWoWoWoW!!! Well done Pippi and raspberries to the stupid company who thought they could get away with being barstewards

So, only Penguin Chops to go then? You'll nail that one.

Boo hiss to ferries being cancelled, my work have just put out a severe weather warning, and most of us are very darrrrn sarf where at the mo it's just grey and a bit rainy.....

How frustrating, Pip! Defos worth a complaint letter. Or you could even call the FO helpline to see if they have a standard response to these sort of things - I've seen similar complaints about pensions and the pensions ombudsman does... http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/contact/index.html#1

Candles and camomile tea is definitely the way forward for tonight. Oh, and about the tidying up in a crisis - you are very welcome here any time you are cross

I owe you a rather big bunch of flowers

Karmacat

Oh how lovely! Are we ever going to see flowers again? It feels like *ages*!

Pippi - snow inside the door!!!!! This is not good. This is so not good it defies description. Call the landlord too, please?

Pippilongstocking

I have a picture - and Yup I'll call

the weather here not very nice today!! and its trying to come through the door - I've a small snow drift inside the back door and its been closed and locked all day!!!!




Paid the card off woo hoo!!!!

And cancelled their dd - my total monthly dd's now are £147.28

Gosh Pippi, that sounds very scary and I can completely empathise because 'twas black ice under snowdrift that was my downfall. You stay put until it is safe again.
Good luck with that phonecall. I always get extra pleasure by being super nice (and sarcastic) whilst smiling and being aloof. Well it makes me feel good and hopefully makes them feel like cr*p.
Gorgeous flowers and a really nice cheerful way to open a post.
