Bubble wrap the car! Seriously though, sorry I missed the windy news in my haste last night. I do hope you're all alright, are the chickens wearing trousers so they can have rocks too?! Good luck!

Thanks LT, Dragon and Pippi, I'm over the moon (and very scared)!

Exactly what I was going to say :rotfl:

I'm off to get some covers for garden furniture later ... might take the parasol down too !

hope you don't float away in the winds this weekend Pippi

Ey up all

I hope you're OK, bit breezy here but not too bad by the look of the met office - central land and NI will get the force of it, which aint great given how many people, houses and trees there are there etc

Today

Was a womble - that was quite fun
Went into town with MR F
Home for a late lunch
Watched a dvd
Tidied everything we could in the garden and put the picnic table upside down/by the house
Parked cars in close too

Can't see if/when it arrives it will be worse than when cheery was here - we're only on a 'light' alert - the middle of scotland etc are on orange for Monday

Got wtfc letter - the amount I have got now is the adjusted award which is more than the amount with ds off, but less than it was before can't make head or tail of the letter tbh, and I', supposed to have a bit of sense.

Cellist playing piano, which is nice, she's teaching herself a two hand piece (very brave and clever)
Gamer, um, well its the weekend so hes gaming
Mr F of the broken body having a shower to help his arm/shoulder

And, I'm just pootling, HC on, dishwasher on, bed to make later brother announced hes coming on boat to help with tunnel - despite the forecast (!) nice of him to pop up

Hi all
Continuing wet here as ever. I saw a tiny frog on the path last night. He would have fitted on a 50p piece, must be one of this years babies.
Pippi, thanks for the creeping phlox ideas There's plenty of it for me to dabble with . I shall report back.
I bought two large tins of 'Roses' in the Co op today. £4.99 each instead of a tenner so they are now stored away as xmas pressies (best before date was 4/12),

Having a blonde moment, read that as 4th December :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Sounds a nice evening with you, Pippi, I'm glad the worst of the wind may pass *you* by, tho of course it'll be hitting mahoosive population centres south of you. Hurricanes are rarely good

how is everyone? watching 'social network', and worryingly am getting all the 'techy' in jokes in it.

I did too and wondered how she could give them as presents

I did the blonde MSE thing

Thought it was 4/12 (ie December) and thought well done gv, very MSE to ignore sell by dates on that kind of stuff chocolate takes ages to go off anyway, they'll be fine, what a canny purchase.

Lol - does that make me worse?
