Hello Rooted nomad,

How old is your baby today?

Hope you had a great Christmas and a lovely DD birthday:)

Morning Truly Scrumptious (that must be on TV at some stage - it is every Christmas )

My baby was 19 yesterday and we had a fantastic evening and I am awake already with what will be a humdinger of a hangover And this evening 40+ of her friends will be arriving to take over our house to help her celebrate So tomorrow I will be hanging something rotten

Christmas was lovely - thank you. We have the traditional celebration and dinner on Christmas Eve when the extended family all gather together and it is lovely to catch up with a lot of people that I don't see regularly throughout the year. Then on Christmas Day we are another family that hole up for the day (think it was Wool who posted?) and repel all boarders. But I missed my eldest as he can't get home till tomorrow, when I will have all my brood around my table again for a few days :j

I have been catching up with the thread (thank you davemorton :beer:) and enjoy reading about all the different ways that folks celebrate Christmas. And sad to hear that the holiday period for some has been a difficult time for a lot of different reasons - huge hugs for those struggling. Onward and upward and warm thoughts and wishes for a better 2013 for everyone

Extraordinarily impressive stuff for an organisation that is only 10 years old - fair play to the team at MSE

Morning all, seems strange saying that at 3.10am, having fallen asleep at 8pm after a few too many Bavaria's! Just to confirm that the hi-fi does scan at 1p, purchsed one to check then another 4 when confirmed. Tesco Value MC211EP Hifi with CD - Black

Just popped out for milk to my local and, as you do, had another look where I looked the other day and there is one Hifi/CD player which was not there yesterday, SEL £22 . Took it to the scanner in clothing, and sadly it was £22 So its either newer stock, has been taken back and got a store-corrected price, or T's have corrected the price.

Morning all, back to work for me.

Have a good day everyone, catch you all laters.

Thanks for the heads up. There was only about 3 'good' roads ie tarmac in the entire country - step off one of them and the journey was hell. Took us 10 hrs to get from Morondava to Tsingy national park - what a bone crunching journey that was - another road that is impassable in the wet season :eek: A lot of our time was taken up getting from A to B.


Good morning all

Just like to say thanks to everyone that contributes on here Though I'm mainly here for the banter (and partake in the odd glitch ) you have all helped me in one way or another start to emerge slowly from my shell and self imposed isolation. Living in the sticks means little social interaction but I have had the pleasure of meeting and striking up friendships that I never thought possible and that to me is worth more than any glitch.

Thank you

Oh Westie,

This is lovely. Before I became a regular contributor, I lurked for yonks and it was always your early morning posts that made me smile. Sometimes laugh out loud as everyone would say goodbye for the night and you would pop up with your cheery "good mornings" minutes later....... And your Moggie photos are lovely too:)

Looking forward to "spending" 2013 with you:j

Morning RN,

So pleased you had a scrumptious:) Christmas and birthday celebrations too. You'll be exhausted come the weekend:)

I'm now back at work but it's so hard getting out of bed on these dark wet and windy mornings. Both DD and DS are home from uni and I hate being at work when they are home. Anyway both are in revision mode now so maybe it's best I'm out of the way as I can do that annoying mothering stuff:)

Love to all from a very windy Durham

This maybe the same as the one i checked the other day which was in a blue box which was the right model number, & didn't have "Tesco Value" written on it, so i'm wondering if the people who are getting it at 1p has the Value bit written on it as only 2 electrical items full stop in my local have Value written on it.

Morning! :j

Westie, you are very sweet - sometimes I am envious of you living up in big open country... I always dreamed of having land and space.

Hope you are taking care of that brother of yours x

And safe drive 3Dogs! Lots of rain down South

Happy Friday everyone!
