The Comper's Inn part 42

lomaxsylvia

Sorry late in the Inn again today. DH was annoyed he couldn't do the dailies so wanted to go out early so he could get back. Sigh.

Its been bucketing down here all night by the look of it and most of today so far as well. The rain dance must have worked firefly/Alfie.

Alfie - soaked the blouse in cold water overnight and there is no sign of a stain today so I will forgive you feeding blackberries to the birds firely :rotfl:

Hope you have a nice break Sheils/Walwin.

Gad you are feeling better Softpad.

Wingo - big hugs for your Mom and hope she is doing OK.

Ellemm - one thing about chatting on the Inn is you never quite know what subject to expect, its what keeps us going

No post for us today, only the usual rubbish.

Had a WEM earlier but was a bit iffy about it as it needed Office to open it and then wanted me to phone to claim it. Had to use old lappy to get into it and there was a form to fill in and return as well - all for a £15 Arcadia Voucher! It was a bit confusing so just emailed to say I couldn't open it. Have now received an email saying just send your address and I'll post it out. Another nice little Voucher win.:) It must be a FB win as it came on my FB email address. It said from Fiat 500/Fashion Comp but can't find it so far.

Thanks for the Times update SueM :A Would love a coffee machine but think we're out for the day tomorrow

Well done on your win Sheils :j glad you managed to get it in the end

Glad the stain came out for you Sylvia! Lots of the kids in school today were full of paint all over their hair and clothes an was thinking how hard it must be of their parents.

Are you due any more garlic fire**fly? Its great that the woody came back

Alfie, at least you know your cat will be safe indoors in this horrid weather!

ILC, we say "risk it for a biscuit" here! But I can imagine kids nowadays would say "risk it for a fiver"

When do you got away on your jollies walwin? Hope the weather is good for you

Great bargain breaks Sheils Is it quicker to come into England then than it is further Scotland?

Glad you're feeling more positive today softpad

Have you settled back in then ellemm? I think I would get a tad homesick if I was away for that long but I do love the hot weather!

It's never stopped raining here today! We've got huge puddles all over roads!
I got a red card today too but I think it might be the Percy Jackson win I'm waiting on
