    I saw on fb you were listening to Olly Murs new song Katie :) I've not heard it yet, hope it's good!

    Comping can really be fattening! :o After having some pasta I was still peckish while comping so I ate a feast ice-lolly. I still wasn't satisfied and ate a large bag of salt n vinegar twirls! (I don't normally like salt n vinegar ....and no, I'm not pregnant either! :p) Now I do feel stuffed!
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    don't think x factor is as good as it's been before wingo,
    I like Fleur though :D but not keen on any of the others :o
    don't think it's the comping makes you fat :rotfl:
    I comp all day & am like a beanpole :eek:

    Morning! Rain just starting here and wind getting up - going to be a wet school run!

    LOL Wingo, perfume for creaky doors! Must make a note - not only would I have non creaking doors but I would have doors that smell nice too!! Someone should write a book named 'Who needs a man? - diy for women without the tools!' Oh, this is a diy tip NOT to follow - do not attempt to hammer a tack in the wall using a large plastic full Ketchup bottle! (I speak from experience and ended up puncturing the bottle and covering both myself and my wall in Ketchup!)
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    Thought I would put on a sunny picture as its bucketing down here.

    Safe journey Sheils and have a good time. Sister is going to the lakes tomorrow for a week so hope it improves for you both. Well done on your win Sheils, I do that one but am not quick enough at it to win.

    :bdaycake: Happy birthday to your Sister Rose on her 50th birthday.

    Wish I could stay slim firefly, its a constant battle here.

    LOL at your tomato sauce hammer Wingo. My favorite tip is for curtain rails that stick, I use furniture polish although most peeps dont use the plastic curtain tracks now they have poles like I have in the lounge.

    Off to town for a cuppa as hate being in when the weather is bad.

    SYL
    BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO POST THE COMPETITIONS

    Another wet & windy day here too!

    Well done on the win sheils :T I keep forgetting about that one too! Have a safe journey :)

    That's a good one Bella! :D I can imagine that looking nasty if anyone walked in thinking you'd hurt yourself! :D *makes note to self not to use ketchup bottle* ;) I read yesterday that wd40 is also good as a temporary measure of making a scratched glass table look ok! So if you happen to scratch anyone's glass table....WD40 it then leg it! :p

    Hope you get some comping done today Rose and happy 50th to your sis :beer:

    You're probably right fire**fly, it's not comping that's fattening....just me being greedy! :p (Well I've got to blame something! :whistle:) I keep seeing pics of nickerbockerglorys and they're making me want one! :drool: I've not had one in yrs!

    Have you got a day off today indie? Enjoy if so :)

    Good luck for whatever you've got planned today Sylvia. Hope all is well xx
    Just saw your post....enjoy your trip in town and a nice cuppa :)
    It was Bella that used the ketchup, I don't like tomato sauce so I would have used brown! :p

    It was so dark this morning I thought I set the alarm wrong! :o I was dreaming that I was in a nightclub and there was a woman chasing me to batter me! :D Hope I never hit hubby while I was asleep!
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!
  • Good morning lovely compers xx


    Hope you've all woken up to a fine Monday. Sky looking very ominous here :( an odd shade of red!


    Oh FF, the chestnut trees we have around the house are sweet chestnuts (I think that's what they are called), the edible ones. Not horse chestnuts - the ones you play conkers with and are apparently v good to feed to deer and horses with bad wind! lol I am full of useless facts :(


    LOL, love the fact about scratched tables and WD40 Wingo! The devil in me so wants to test out the theory! ;)
