    Haha, sorry! Maybe we should get some cake and some kittens in here and make it the Chompers Cat Corner! Might make us feel better in this rubbish month.

    Well done sheils on the win! I'm still waiting for the comping fairy to visit me this year! Every time I see a courier drive up my street I get hopeful that they've got a parcel for me... Haha!


    chomping cat after the cake lol

    Loving the chomping cat pics! :D

    Well done on the wins Sylvia, Rose & Sheils :j :T
    I got my crabbies chalice Sheils, it was in a big box! :D

    I love that saying Alfie....'blowing a hooley'...not heard that one before :)

    That's good of you to find where the comp wins came from fire**fly :A Youre always on the ball! :)

    Sheils, the forest hol sounds good. I was looking at the Northumberland cabins with hot tubs in for £249 for 5 days. I expect they will be a lot more in school hols.
    I never thought about the parking charges in Saltholme as we've generally gone on a school bus! It's lovely around the Tees barrage too if ever you are over that way.

    I'm sick of hearing about the 'red doors' around here and making national news! They are in the town centre and the 'red doors' have been like that for about 20 yrs! In fact...there are lots of multi coloured doors and it's a bit like Balamory as that's what people did years ago painting doors and windows but some have just left them like that. Most of the town area is ethnic community anyway and always has been so no one would know who were migrants and who weren't. I don't think they are targeted at all.

    Not really had as bad weather as I thought we would! Hope there's no snow to come now as expected.
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    Glad you got your Chalice wingo. That sounds really cheap for a lodge but take it that is for now. The lodge we have booked is near Pickering. Don't know if we will try to get the steam train to Whitby again. Was so angry we were left for so long last time waiting in the broken down train especially as we were only there 2 nights. Lost most of a days holiday.
    We haven't heard about the red doors for a few days now!


    DH driving me mad playing with the TomTom we just bought!

    I don't know if they got the train up & running properly again as I wanted to book it for the usual Xmas polar express they have but there was nothing advertised this time. I don't know if it was still on. I will have a look for the lodges as my friend posted it and she normally goes but I suppose it depends on time of year.

    Well we are home again. It took us over Four hours on the train from near Southampton home.

    Alfie it was blowing a Holley yesterday and today. Yesterday we visited DD2 and family. GD is really walking now all over the place at nine month!

    Today we went to visit friends near Southampton. Had a great time. Then trying to travel home big problems with trains due to flooding at Brockenhurst and New Forest. We eventually were directed to a slow train to Waterloo, another train and bus home.

    They are refurbishing the Jurys Inn and the room we had was all new including bed. DH thought we would have a meal there with points he had but you can't just use them even though nowhere in their leaflet or website does it tell you how to redeem points. They had given us 10% off anyway and when he talked to reception they gave another 50 % off. They said it will be taken up with senior management. It's not as if it's new. We have been collecting points since 2014. I have to say the meal was very good. Thought of you Sheils.

    Well done Sylvia, Rose's GS and Sheils on your wins. Sounds great Forest holiday you have booked Sheils. Pleased you have your door fixed. I was worried but all was well here when we came in.

    Katie it was lovely to hear from you and you have done so with with SW congratulation. Keep it up.

    April love the compels chat Corner and everyone's pictures. I saw a heading on one if my emails said welcome back to Twitter Do you know how to use it?

    Well will sign off now exhausted.
