    Safe journey Sylvia xx Hope you get some goodies in the shops for yourself :)

    I just saw that about the Asian airline sheils :( Have you heard from son yet? I'm sure he's ok but it must be worrying for you xx

    Hi Katie, glad you've settled in your new home over Xmas and enjoy the rest of the festive season :)

    Aw you're doing great with the wildlife fire**fly :A Hope you managed to defrost the water for them xx Is it fat balls they like in the winter months?

    Hope you're feeling better today Rose xx

    It's frosted over a bit here today too but DD wants to take her silver cross pram out so no pj day today! :D
    I must have had about 2hrs sleep last night. I kept hearing banging, like police banging and breaking down someone's door! I opened windows to look out and couldn't think where it came from. We live in a respectful quiet area and most of neighbours are elderly so I don't think it was police but it got me worried they one of our neighbours was in distress. DH was on nights so I was on my own with kids but jasper never barked so can't have been anything too bad! :o
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    Safe journey Sylvia.


    Hope everything was ok wingo. Hate hearing noises when I don't know what they are.


    Haven't heard from DS but he should just be moving to Vietnam not Singapore. One British national on board and next of kin informed the news says.
    Was going out a walk in sunshine but too slippy at moment

    Back home again bit warmer today only -2 degrees the pavements are a disgrace they have been lightly gritted but there are patches of ice everywhere. Watching peeps you would think they were staggering all over the place but all they are doing is avoiding ice and trying to stay on gritted bits.
  • Brother in law's dog walked - check
    Oven cleaned - check
    Windows washed - check
    Hoovering house - check

    Well that's all my jobs done think I've earned some competition time before I'm back to work tomorrow.

    Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday.

    Evening peeps had two interesting phone calls this afternoon one from my old trade union boss and the other from a good friend who is the provist and fellow ex trade unionst (we just don't work in trade unions now but still support the cause 100%) There is to be a large depution from Scotland and all the workers of City Link depot here which is the main one in Scotland tomorrow. Usually all the outside broadcast vans park themselves at the side of our building when something is going on in the industrial estate up the back or the football ground. So trade union hat is going back on tomorrow for the day one of the full time officials from my union is coming out tomorrow as well in support of their union so he is coming here at 9.30am just as well I know him.

    I always thought putting a ball in the birds bath stopped it freezing completely? Heavier than a ping pong ball so it doesn't blow away but not so heavy it sinks - the ball is supposed to bob around and leave some areas unfrozen.


    Sorry if someone has already mentioned this or if you've already tried it - just popped on to see what's happening.
