    Evening all, just a quick swing by for me, trying to get the house in order and work been crazy busy so being tucked up early in bed most nights this week.

    deff noticing the mornings and evenings getting lighter. I actually like the dark nights when they first come as I love that time of year, but looking forward to lighter evenings and mornings, just feels like a new season and all fresh and new.

    Good evening everyone:)

    Having a quick break from clearing lots of mail & paperwork built up since Oct time last year :eek::eek::eek: amazing things found I meant to use or order:o

    Enjoy your few days off jeferey are you doing anything nice or just resting:rotfl:

    We have had a bit of wind last night & today but nothing like last week and rain:( a builder we found on internet coming to do a quick fix Sat for roof & surveyer coming from Insurance company Sunday so guess will know what needs doing.

    On the plus side can see evenings getting lighter:T:T:T

    I thought it was just me who had stacks of mail all piled up everywhere :o:o I did think it was looking lighter at night but then thought maybe it was my imagination/wishful thinking. I just wish the weather would be a bit brighter during the day
    Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)

    Thanks AH, we were going to go to a national trust place with FD tomorrow but adventure playground doesn't open until 1 March (after half term shrug.gif) so we're going to Sherwood Forest instead with the dog. We'll try and stop her peeing on the Major Oak, promise.
    Sunday it's allotment morning followed by lunch at in-laws.
    Monday, boring car MOT and service but I shall take my bike as it's 10 miles away and keep fit :p

    Have a great weekend everyone - mine's started already :j
    If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try - oh bu99er that just cheat :D

    I love winter normally, snow and snuggling up with electric blanket, much better than summer where it is too hot to do anything, but this year winter seems to have gone on forever. I cannot remember summer, did we have one? It doesn't seem like winter without snow really, very strange as seems a long time since we had a winter without snow. Oh well, in a couple of months there will be hosepipe bans and moaning of too hot:cool:

    Are you still keeping up with the pole Kerri, or are you too busy with work to do that. I suppose busy at work nowadays is good with so many companies going out of business still.

    I love the snow...for the first day when it's crisp and white. Then it becomes a pain, no one can get anywhere, half the people who do go out drive like muppets, and everything is either icy or slushy and wet. We've have three cold winters so it's seemed much stranger to have one so mild. Loads of daffs been out for a few weeks already where I am,

    Yep, still poling, handstand theme this month. Pole class is my time, great to clear and refocus your mind.

    Good morning everyone

    So nice to see more people on here, makes for a more interesting thread.

    I too am sick of winter, roll on spring. Fed up of the rain, getting wet everytime you go out. Not being able to put washing on the line. This list goes on.

    I still haven't got the window sorted, the builder keeps "forgetting" to come.

    Take care all and keep posting guys
