    Well done on win ff. Love these things for kids as they are not kids for long nowadays. In saying that kids books are ageless. I still have some of mine. They are a bit worn out and GK's ask for them but they do not leave my house. Do not mind them reading them here as that is what they are for.

    Finally got my internet back on! I was sick of seeing the kids moping around with long faces! God knows how they would cope if they went back to when I was a kid growing up without computers and phones! :o

    Well done on your win fire**fly :j Lovely gift for your friend :A

    I didn't see that on this morning Rose but heard about it! :D

    Hope you're enjoying York Sheils and I look forward to Wednesday :) Still don't know my new hours yet but I don't think they will change this week so should be ok to meet for coffee :)

    Hope it's not too cold today for you Sylvia, Alfie. It was Baltic here this morning that I had to put on another cardigan! By lunchtime it was warm and humid again! Weird weather.

    As DH was about to go out yesterday (borrrowing sons bike) a car came speeding around the corner. We live on a fairly narrow road with tight corners too and my neighbour was out walking her dog. The car just missed her and smashed down a neighbours fence and just drove off! What he didn't know is that most of my neighbours have cameras on their house so they have the car reg and police involved! I'm just glad DH decided to run back in for a wee before going out or it could have been nasty.
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    Good Morning all,

    Just popped in to say we have had a lovely 2 days and apart from fog yesterday morning the weather was fine. Raining a bit now though but hoping it will be dry by the time we get to Whitby and Saltburn. Looking forward to seeing them again. Then we will need to find our Middlebrough hotel and its parking which is behind it in a multi storey. DH hates multi storeys so expect he will moan about that!
    My nephew's gf had a baby girl yesterday, she was induced as her bp was going up and they said it was a big baby. It was a huge baby - 11lbs 1oz!

    Glad you have your internet back wingo and hope to see you tomorrow.

    Well done on your win FF.

    Wishing everyone a lucky day.

    Good morning all, not fog today just damp outside and cold.

    Congratulations to your Nephew and GF Sheils. That was a big baby. Enjoy the rest of your time away and hope you get to see Wingo.

    Good job your DH went back for a wee Wingo, I am a great believer in thinking we do these things for an unknown reason. Glad he is safe anyway. Hope you manage to meet up with Sheils.

    Well done on your book win firefly I am sure your friends LO will love it.

    Well must get on, things to do and all that. Have a good day everyone.
    BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO POST THE COMPETITIONS

    Morning.

    Wingo so pleased to hear your DH and neighbour were ok. Pleased you have wifi. Know what you mean about internet and family. I was upset early this morning because wifi wouldn't work my side of bedroom. Gave up in the end.
    Hope you and Sheils meet up.

    Firefly well done on win. Looks a great book for young ones.

    Rose I kept saying it was going to rain yesterday. It only came late and not that much do I think you got it. Agree with you not going out.

    Love the pic Sylvia just how I feel this morning.

    Good luck everyone.
