    kezlou- our town and all the neighbouring ones have a shop mobility scheme, now I believe its free to borrow one whilst you are shopping - which would give you a taste to see how you feel.

    Pooky well done on the mini win and Im glad you are getting out. i know what you mean about worrying about your OH but it sounds as if he will be in good hands.

    Kezlou, you get it off your chest hunny, you must be really frustrated so maybe a wheelchair is a wise decision.

    Im off to find my wellies as I think I may be viewing a winter wonderland tomorrow from my window. Made a huge quiche today which pleased Ds, good job he didnt see what went into it - to say the cheese was elderly is an understatment :rotfl: DD gave me some out of date mushrooms so put them in, a bit of bacon, and anything that was annoying me in the fridge. It was so nice he wants to take it for lunch tomorrow!

    Your tea sounds a bit like my soup....DS and OH ate it and smacked their chops and went back for more....A 10p bag of leeks and cabbage from Monday nights YS, a few spuds and onions, a few very elderly leeks, and the way out of date long life milk I opened at the weekend and made pancakes with, plus the remains of the cream from the cheesecake for the market! It has to be told that DH will not eat either cream or longlife milk, and DS has an aversion to leeks :rotfl:

    I've spend all day trying to get 'stuff' done, I MUST be further forward, but it doesn't seem like it. I only managed to get one batch of fudge made, but I did get my all lovely tea packed in those jars that wouldn't seal properly with wet stuff in. Now all I need to do is print of my labels and instructions. I need a new print cartridge, I've got one, but it'll be the first time I've changed it and I'm too tired to wrestle with it now.

    I've only just realised how late it is....night night all...

    White stuff still here, well it's a mixture of ice and snow so a lethal combination. Coming home from Aldi's and my little chat with mcculloch(I won't use your name as we are rightly being careful unless you say otherwise);)it was a biting wind so it seems as though we're in for a few days of it...

    A tiny bit jealous of others with the white stuff but thinking logically it is much more practical for us to get it after the schools break up!
    The icy pavements with no snow to get a grip to is another thing though!
    Glad you sound brighter pops x

    Thanks Heavenleigh,
    Yes lets have the white stuff when it can be really enjoyed. Years ago when Mum and Dad were alive I remember walking to and from church on Christmas Eve into Christmas Day and then opening our presents and having a chicken or turkey sandwich when we returned home. And everything was still and the snow was crisp and hardly disturbed.

    Not long to wait now...you've done well.

    I'm skipping through the Royal Variety show that was broadcast on Monday. I don't know what has changed but once they were a highlight of TV viewing.
