Morning all,

Happy Birthday Pigpen - hope you have a good day

Had a very relaxing and enjoyable Christmas Day but as usual it went past too quickly with too much food and lots of mess, never mind today will be a quick tidy up and then its Lego building DD2 received the Harry Potter castle from santa and wants to start building it - better find the glasses for all the small bits then.

Hope all have a good day.

Thank you all for the b-day messages

Rest? Day off? Yeah right...

I have DS1 et al, my mother +5 and other stray visitors arriving about 3.. I have the kitchen to dig out, food to create bake boil and build before then and OH is in charge of bathing/dressing the baby and clearing/cleaning the middle room and building the Rock Band..

Boxes of presents mostly went up yesterday so just a few neatly packed boxes to go up this afternoon before gets arrive and we are sorted.. children to be in bed by 9 at the very latest and I will no doubt not be long behind them!!

I have NEVER been out on my birthday.. and I have had loads of them!

:bdaycake:Hoppy Birdday Piggers :beer:
Pretty much a normal Sunday here - usual tasks being done; weekly check over of the car (oil, tyres, wash bottle and such like) and Mr LW's weekly ironing stint.;)

Max is snoozing on the lounge carpet (lazy git, he really is!:D) having done his own "decluttering" outside, earlier on.:o He had the only present there was to unwrap in this house - his owners had sent some pigs ears along for him, so he had one yesterday, and he can have the other one later in the week (it was a pack of 2).:o

I'm on about my 4th cup of coffee - keeping going with caffeine and sheer bloody-mindedness, same as always.;)

I hope everyone's having a good Boxing Day.:beer:

Afternoon all

Happy Birthday Pigpen

Hope you all had a great Christmas. Not caught up with the thread since there is so many posts :eek:

Well most of the Christmas prep paid off, I just forgot to buy batteries for DD's camera Her's takes AAA and I only had AA in I've also lost the AAA rechargeable ones I had. Which reminds me I also need to top up her phone...once V1rg1n send me the password as I've just locked myself out of the account

DD has now gone away until Thursday evening to see her dads family so I'm now doing all my 2011 prep (budget, putting dates in my diary etc) and enjoying the peace & quiet :rotfl:

I'm off to review Martins budgeting etc tips and look over where I've spent money this year. I've way over spent & I really need to get myself sorted out this coming year.

Catch you later :wave:

Happy birthday pigpen!!!

I hope you have a lovely day! With all the snow etc, I didn't buy and post something this year , so please accept this virtual cake and my very best wishes!

Lateish start to today, and I've been lazing, reading and eating chocolates.:D I'm going to try ringing my Dad now - I tried several times yesterday afternoon, and just got the ansaphone, so think he either had a headache, or was having a nap. My brother and SIL went over yesterday morning, and my sister and her family are there this afternoon, so he hasn't been on his own all the time. He was of course invited, but refused point blank to go over to my sister yesterday.

Love and hugs, especially to toots, lady-liberty and lamewolf.

Back in from path clearing and thawing out.
I've been in this house for 40 years and I don't ever remember having such a problem with ice on the path.:eek:
It's icicles along the guttering dripping down on to the front step and path and I'm ending up with a thick layer of ice and ,yes, I am salting it.

Can you not open a window a chop off the icicles over the door with a hoe or similar.

It might be safer to try to do this rather than let them fall and hurt you.
