Fire a Fly congratulations on all your wins you are in a great roll.
Sylvia do pleased it is you and you have heard from them.
Sheila's pleased you are home hope all is sorted for you soon.
Rose hope GS is ok. Bit of a fright for him.
Wingo had a big smile thinking about you going out like that.
Fire Fly and Alfie be careful when out.
We went to the GSs Nativity today. It was great. day was always at work so it was a first for him. GS phoned last night to check we were going.
Certainly was a cold wind here.
Indie hope work was not too bad today. Here I am just going to do a few comps never mind about catch up.
Good luck to all who drop by.0 -
thanks leanfun :j
lovely to hear you had a great time at GS's nativity :Aplease be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly.0 -
Thanks for everyone's kinds thoughts, words and hugs.
TBH I have felt sick since it happened but ok otherwise. DD is struggling a bit to cope and her bf has been called out to a bad fire at a farm so that isn't helping her as they had romantic meal planned.
Got my claim list written and joiner has been to organise quote for door. Had forgotten how old door is - 20 years! He says new ones are safer but still not impossible to break into. Hopefully be allowed to use him but someone coming down on Monday to check doors out and see what price he thinks. Probably leave inner door as not too bad and couldn't get new glass to match side area.
Great roll FF -well done again!
Glad nativity good leanfun. No small kids in our family now which is so strange after being so many for such a long time.
Windy and wet here too.Mar Wins :- £2 GfK Media

Thanks FF. :A
Just been reading that house up round the corner was robbed too. There has been a spate of them and police are looking for a gang. Never usually anything like that here. My neighbours are all heading off soon, so in a panic. Our insurances will all be affected after this.:(Mar Wins :- £2 GfK Media

Wow fire**fly, productive day for you today for wins :T well done :j
I mentioned to DH earlier that i never seem to win anymore and I should take a break from comping and I no sooner said that when I checked my emails and there was a win for a £10 GiftcardI also won a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts when I buy a dozen on the pass the parcel comp!
Sheils, it's terrible knowing someone has been in your house. I think I mentioned before but we got broke into just after we bought our last house. We were doing all the DIY first and when we eventually moved all the wedding presents and stuff in, the burglars struck. It's like they had been waiting for us to put stuff in. The front door at the time was a solid wooden door with an alarm on but it didn't bother them, they just ripped it from the hinges and even tried to pull the gas fire off wall still attached to gas pipe! They took soaps and toiletries as well as fridge, microwave, mattress etc. they weren't bothered what damage they did and even smoked drugs in the house. I never settled after that and couldn't wait to move but these were a gang of well known burglars who terrorised everyone until they got caught out by people they were afraid of! Hope you & your DD manages to settle ok as it really is upsetting. Xx
Leanfun, I bet it was emotional watching your GS in nativity playI would always cry!
Rose, I had the same problem earlier taking DD to gymnastics and it was gale force winds that even DD was blowing back over. It's a good job I had hold of her hand as I was struggling to keep hold of her even.
Hope you've had a good day Alfie/3for/Katie
Is it still very windy your way too Sylvia? It's never stopped here but it's icy cold too.
Well I decided to put Xmas tree up tonight. I still haven't finished but will do rest tomorrow. I just haven't been motivated enough this yr!Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!0 -
yaaaaaaay just won a case of 9 BAR hazelnut on the facebook instant comp. Wingo it is still blowing a gale here and it is raining as well now. Hope your dd didn't get to upset with it.0

Good morning everyone!
Sorry to be the bearer of more bad news but my
daughter has just had her bank account hacked quite
similar to this:
http://www.theguardian.com/money/2015/sep/26/sim-swap-fraud-mobile-phone-vodafone-customer
At first she couldn't believe it cos she is always so
careful with her details but started to lose the signal
on her phone and then .... well the scammers were
happily emptying her account!
Bank fraud people and vodafone fraud are on DDs case
at the moment.
Please share this and be aware that no one it seems is
safe these days!
Needless to say we don't think much of vodafone
though her bank have been marvellous.
Windy here too.
:j:j Very well done rose and wingo on your wins! :T:T:T
So sorry sheils for your ongoing upset - so scary - hope
things improve for you as time goes on.
My bloomin laptop is playing up too, already crashed on
me 4 times this morning!
Have a wonderful day all - will pop by later.

Good Morning,
Still sounds windy outside. Had quite a good sleep and not feeling quite as queasy. Annoyed with myself for not feeling ok as when I see the pics of Carlisle I realise how lucky we are. Not sure DD will ever be able to sleep in house on her own though as she is having nightmares. She had to leave school in middle of a cooking exam yesterday as she kept being sick so it is a worry.
Don't think your sort of robbery happens very much now wingo thank goodness. Can't believe the valuables our burglers just left sitting. Just wanted cash and jewellery.
That is terrible about your daughter Alfie. I know there was something a while ago about how easy it was to open an extra account with Halifax in a customers name and then all the accounts showed on line. Think MSE brought it to their attention. Glad her bank is on the case. (unlike DD's bf's bank)
On brighter note, well done on 9bars rose. My wine is supposed to come today - must see if I have a time on the tracking thing. Might have a bottle tonight! Going to get the decorations out.
Hope everyone has a lucky day.
