  • Hi everyone :wave:

    Didn't buy anything yesterday. :( Still got plenty of time as only got a few bits still to get which are mainly sweets. Need to look about for some bargains. :)

    Hope that everyone is keeping well and bye for now! :D

    Morning real frost out here this morning.

    We had a great evening at the Italian restaurant. The pizza was to die for never had such a delicious pizza not even in Italy. The Chef was very friendly and came around to all the tables to chat. I think he was Aldo Gilli. We are not vegetarians but I was impressed by how they brought around the starters on big platters and had separate ones for vegetarians. We brought home great goody bags from Sacla.

    Sorry you didn't find anything shopping 3forhols as you say still plenty of time. Up town it looks as though its Christmas tomorrow.

    Alfie pleased you seem a bit better. Didn't watch the programme but the bus made me smile.

    Firefly hope puzzles were straight forward for you yesterday.

    Sheils you have some bargains there. Hope you enjoy.

    The other night when DH was parking car near DDs someone smashed their wing mirror against his and it was hanging by a wire and its dented the bodywork. She did stop insurance are being pretty good. We are having a new boiler next week and they are delivering things today so we won't be going far. DH was offered a hire car.

    Well today Im off to the Apple Store to try to sort out iPad battery. Then I have tickets for a Christmas fair near Westminster, in aid of Royal Marsden Hospital, so might find some Christmas goodies there. Tickets were a Twitter win this week.

    As I've been writing the sun had come out here.

    Well hope everyone has a good weekend. Keep warm and be lucky.

    :hello: Good afternoon everyone


    It's a glorious weather day here - sun's shining
    away soleil07j.gif but it's still a tad chilly out! Love
    it when it's like this though! :j

    Lol at the birds at yours this morning fire**fly with the
    frozen bird baths. flocon-12.gif

    ^^ Just had a google at bird baths and found this one. (Snorkel
    cat edition :p). :eek:


    Poor birdies - just couldn't do it to them! _pale_ Maybe I'll just
    stick with what I've got! :D Actually - its quirkiness is slowly
    growing on me :rotfl::rotfl: may have to treat myself
    after all! :p


    I agree with what you said 3forholidays - there's actually plenty
    of time before Christmas to get everything we need. I'm like
    you - I've only got to purchase a few stocking fillers and a
    couple of family pressies - haven't bought my Christmas cards
    yet but every year I make sure I buy them from my fave
    charities :A - it's nice to know that my money will be helping
    others.


    Crikes sheils - you're doing well with all your holiday deals
    at the mo! Absolutely brilliant! :T


    Sounds as if your Italian tasting evening was very successful
    leanfun - it all sounds scrumptious. :drool: I feel compelled to
    have a pizza for dinner tonight after reading about them in
    your post. :D Love the friendly feel the restaurant had too!
    So pleased you both had an enjoyable time.


    Hope you get your car back soon looking as good as new. xx


    Have a wonderful time at the Christmas fair - love it when
    they're in aid of a worthy cause. :A


    Well - time to rustle up a bit of lunch - have a lovely and lucky
    day all - take care.

    Quite a nice day here although the wind makes it feel a bit colder.
    We have been pretty lucky this week, even been good drying (in November!) Been doing some gardening too.
    I keep getting fantastic hotel deals through in my emails so have had to resist them.
    There have been bonus offers on Quidco and Topcashback too so have used some of them for stays and some Xmas presents. It is surprising how the cash back mounts up although some are very slow to pay out.

    Glad you had a lovely pizza leanfun, must admit I usually go for pasta rather than pizza but do like a nice one. Shame about your car, everything seems to cost so much and take so long to fix these days.

    Good Luck all.

    Brill film on netflicks called the 'prize winner'. Its a true story of survival and a lot of patience and skill. A true compers movie.

    Morning
    Send the sun this way ff, it's dull and rain is on the way.I did some christmas shopping yesterday so nearly there with the presents. I then visited my nephews as it was one of the boys birthday. I am having a lazy day today, should be going to see Paddington but have lent nephew my car, don't mind walking as the cinema is only 15 min walk away but have to wait and see if it rains. Not too bothered not going today as will go monday instead.Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
