    Hi peeps!,

    Still dry with blue sky and sunshine here but the temp is dropping! I'm looking forward to putting the fire on later and snuggling on the sofa to watch Catchphrase and Harry's South Pole heroes with a glass of wine of course!

    Glad everyone has had a nice day even with hailstones! gloomy-smiley-emoticon.gif

    You're so right about Lidl being quieter, Sylvia! Also, the checkout queues are shorter, despite them having less tills. Everything is just more efficient... And a lot of the food tastes much better than Sainsburys - especially the fresh bakery items :)


    Yes, love their apple turnovers when they have just come out of the oven. Does your store have an fresh bakery thing like ours? We find their fresh meet is good, chicken pieces/pork chops etc and their whole chicken are good too. Also cheese and like their creamy pasta sauce too. We also use their own make coffee.

    No hail for us been quite nice apart from the odd brief shower.
    BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO POST THE COMPETITIONS

    LOL FF, my parents have a fishpond with frogs and they often see them hopping around in the evenings. Their cat loves them too and we have see her playing a kind of cat ping pong with them when she bats them with her paw around the lawn! She never hurts them or eats them - we think she is genuinely playing a game with them! rainfrog.gif

    we used to have an allotment & had a wildlife pond & loved watching them most evenings,
    love it especially the baby tads are just learning to jump about & find their way frog_177.gif
    used to have to watch DH with his big clod hoppers in case he stood on them :eek::eek:

    We've also had huge hailstones today! Roll on summer! Wrap up warm sheils, it's freezing here if you're anywhere near here.
    Great pics everyone :)
    If anyone has the maltesers BGT promo packets it starts tomorrow so you can also win packets of maltesers or a bowl :) (I've got 6 packets here :o I haven't eaten them all though! :p)
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    Eeeeek my peepsters are really peeping tonight! Up at 3.30 am yesterday morning and 3.30 am today! I am dreading changing the hour next week - if I wake up and see 2.30am on the clock I will just cry!

    I actually bought a silk pillowcase last week because I read silk pillowcases are meant to help you sleep but I must fall asleep and then wake myself up again because my head starts to slide off the pillow causing me to subconsciously feel I am falling in my dream - like sliding down a rainbow! DOH! forehead-slap-smiley-emoticon.gif
