was thinking of you today rising, glad the first day went well, the weather sounds dreadful to you and maisie, hope it settles soon

The first thing I have done when I have come in from work today was to check to see how you got on.

I had been thinking about you today and I am glad it went well.

Have a wee snooze if you need it, it has been a busier than normal day for you. You have to look after yourself.

Brilliant news about the tyres. May have to invest in some next year

Thanks El ... I couldn't believe how bad it got in such a short space of time (thankfully I had put my trouser waterproofs on - not something I do often so they helped keep the wind out) ... it's is absolutely vile out there now

Really impressed - I was a bit sceptical (sp?) but, let's say I'd have been absolutely errrrr "whatnotting" myself usually driving when it's like this ... still not pleasant but I felt in control

glad your 1st day went ok and that you're home safe and sound

You know Taxi I was seeing on your diary that you're having trouble staying warm .... I've been a bit *funny* with my body temp for a while now - I'm OK until I get cold, but once cold I just can't get warm (can turn the heating up to 30 deg :eek: put loads of layers on and it makes no difference) - the only way I get warm is to have a bath.

I've been doing a bit better since I got the thermals ..... but I realised earlier that I'm wearing more & more layers to try to retain heat - I'm up to around 5 layers :eek:

I even kept my thermal long-johns on under my work trousers (normally I'd be roasting in the office but it's always cold on Mondays as the heating's off over the weekends)......

However .... right now .. I'm frozen

Might just have to stick the hot water on and go for a nice warm bath ... followed by fleecy PJs

I have exactly the same problem and had to put a hot water bottle on my feet before as they were like blocks of ice...my normal body temp is only 36 recently

Glad it all went ok today.
Was worrying about you.

Have a nice long bath and a cuppa

glad you got on okay

That's better .... defrosted & nice & toasty

(just hope it lasts)

Can hear the wind howling around outside :eek: - might have to venture out at some point and put the bins in the garage ...... mmmmm

Last item on e*bay has 1 watcher & 1 day to run ... fingers crossed it's someone who might actually buy it and not someone who has the same item to sell (I do this

)

Had a wee power cut.
