If the windscreen wipers arent working due to the snow they may have fallen off the mechanism. Mine did this yesterday, I unbolted the wippers took the cover grill off, and reattached it. Put them all back together and hey presto it works, and I am girl !!!!! so impressed plus prob saved at least £50 on paying the garage to do it.

I'm testing myself here. and I failed....had to look up. Tha mi gu math. I didn't understand Tha Mi a fuireach ann an Alba...only been learning it two nights but thanks SO much for your support ...Don't know if I'm going to study tonight or not...going home at about 5 - it's an hour on the bus. I'm at a friend's whose just moved into a new house fully furnished. I ended up buying an epilator for the summer from Mr A cos they were only £10. I have no idea why I bought it just now. :eek:... I know I've wanted one for year cos waxing is just so messy and it works fine but I don't know how to change the battery . I think though that's about the cheapest epilator on the market.

And I have sore pits (though not from epilation) and I don't know why - och and piles too.....fab weekend to get piles eh? :rotfl:....

Anyhow just checking in before going home soon....

Glad to hear from you DNMS. Hope everyone is well...boy I could do with my afternoon espresso LOL

Happy Saturday all! Anyone up to anything fun tonight? Not feeling v. well so I'm snuggled up on the sofa watching The Office

Gonna have an NSD tomorrow too x

Pippi and Erme - I am impressed with the Gaelic!

Sorry about cancelled work parties. We have several - one I bunked off from as I had a Drs appointment, another was a lunch at a very dodgy Italian restaurant (won't go there again :eek:). Luckily I had to go to a meeting so could leave early - it was that bad! The third is allegedly a Chinese after work next week. Hmmm...

Quite a lot of snow today - at least for here in the soft South.

Today I have:

Cleaned kitchen

Gave chickens some new straw - they didn't want to come out this morning, as they obviously didn't like the look of all the white stuff :rotfl:

Done LOADS of shopping :eek::eek: Still, I shan't need to buy very much till way after Christmas Brother took me in his 4x4 as I was scared to drive my little car in the snow (we live down a little narrow lane that never gets cleared or gritted), and OH was out.

Made lovely lamb tagine for supper

Made a crumble from some of the plums in the freezer (3 carrier bags last count :eek:)

Now sitting in front of nice log fire with a glass of wine
