    Good Morning,

    Hope everyone is well today and doesn't have a headache or anything. I am fine and sounds like DH is coming down stairs to make some tea. DS3 seems to be in which is a relief since he is due to work at 10am.

    Have never made a resolution FF - think they are silly. Have never smoked, no intentions of becoming TT and weight always goes back on! Maybe I should make one to check my emails properly as I have found a WEM I missed from TAB clickies and have missed out on a make up set. Have never had one from them before and didn't recognise it especially as it said "possible winner" - only had 5 days to claim so won't let me now.
    Feels cold but haven't looked out to see what it is like. (DH says it is raining)

    Hope everyone has a great day.

    sheils x

    morning sheils :wave: no headache here either :j

    awwww that's sad you missed your wem :sad:
    they send them out like that now with 'possible winner' on,
    when I had one first time i was a bit puzzled but once you've filled in form you should get the prize, I did anyway on the ones i'd had, hope comping fairy brings you another to make up for it xx

    Thanks FF. Had some great prizes the last few weeks so not too upset. I have had other peep's unclaimed prizes in the past and at least it wasn't one of the big prizes I was hoping for.
    Do they always just give you 5 days to claim?

    Happy New Year to all my Inn friends :)

    Didn't stay up long after the Bells and only had two glasses of wine so feeling fine :D

    DD having open house for a select few today (her husband was working last night, he's a fireman) so we will pop over there for a few hours, Mexican food has been promised :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Not very Scottish but we had the traditional steak pie last night.

    I don't make resolutions either but last January I did decide to find my way into the Inn and I must thank all the regulars for making me feel welcome, I've enjoyed getting to know you all :beer:

    Here's to a lucky comping year for us all

    not sure sheils, though I seem to recall my last one said 7 days but I couldn't swear to it :eek:
    think it's not a very good way of letting people know they've won tbh as sometimes i've had wems that say 'possible winner' from other sites & have ignored them :eek:
    least now we know to double check just in case :eek:




    vil-bonneannee.gif to you & all yours
    too elle :j & may 2014 be lucky for you all x

    Loving all the New Year pics. Wonder where ILC is?

    Glad you are enjoying our company elle - great to have you on board.

    I have hung the washing out and got beef on to make a steak pie for later. Didn't know it was a Scottish Tradition elle just thought it would be nice.
    We usually go to my parents and my sisters go too and then we never get to eat our own dinner so will see. Will have the pie tomorrow if we end up eating and drinking too much.
    DD has been up to get an Irn'bru which is suspicious - think she had a few drinks at the party although she seemed fine when she came in although she didn't want a drink with us for the bells. Teenagers are a worry at Hogmanay especially in Scotland.

    Thats lovely you have a tame robbin, I think they are my favorite bird they are so cute. My Sister loves her bird tables as well. We have one but there are too many cats around and Lottie chases them if she gets the chance.

    Good idea about the pics thanks, I don't think there is anyone on the Inn that would mind, we are all pretty easy going.

    Hope you and yours have a lovely year and good luck with the wins.

    xx
