The Compers Inn (part 48)

sheils6

Hi everyone,


Thats me back from Edinburgh. Had a lovely time visiting museums, art galleries and going to see "A Star is Born" (worth going to)
We also ate out in Prezzo and Zizzi using our Meerkat deals - making lots of use out of it! Edinburgh didn't get snow but we did see some lying on the way home as well as freezing fog and really low temperatures.



Would just like to say welcome to the newcommers in the Inn. Lovely to "see" some new faces and hear all your news.

Well done to all the winners. Nothing for me.

That is us home for a few weeks so will have more time to chat.
DD has invited herself for dinner so I will need to get that organised soon. She didn't go to Uni today as the roads were so bad. Even her dog was slipping about! Everything seems fine now.
Must get on.

Thanks everyone. We made it to the Bauer building in Soho. It was strange in the reception seeing all the names of the mags and some click to wins.

The Hairy Bikers were much better in real life than on TV. They looked better and their lively friendly characters came across more. They just chatted and answered questions from the audience. The radio show was to promote their coming tour.
There were only 20 of us in the audience. At the end we were able to chat with the Hairy Bikers and had a picture with them. Real groupies.

We had a meal in a pub just off the bottom of Regent street. So a great afternoon.

Had dusting of snow through the night but sun has melted it all away.
Looking quite nice now so must get a walk after lunch. DH is making some soup.


Sounds like you had a great time leanfun, so nice to do something different.


Hope all going well with you and DH, FF.

:hello: Hi all


Beautiful start to the day here .... fairly sunny (after a visit
from Jack Frost) - although not so cold as yesterday. The
day's just whizzed by!


Sounds as if you both had a brilliant time in Edinburgh sheils. :T


So pleased you managed to see the Hairy Bikers yesterday
leanfun. They cooked a full English breakfast on the 'This
Morning' show ITV (the morning after the NTA's ) - excellent
hangover cure apparently! :rotfl::rotfl:

Had my first win last week was some crochet books, I'm going to use the baby ones as a present for my SIL not sure what to do with the others as I cannot crochet but entered the comp with my SIL in mind haha.

Lovely win chocolatelover93, well done! :j I had a little read of
your diary the other day - excellent plans! :money: Do hope your
young son is feeling a little better now.


Entering comps seems to vary from day to day for me. I try
my best to keep up with them but there are soooo many. :eek:


I usually enter all the mag weekly comps such as Take A Break,
That's Life etc plus all the radio comps - Heart, Capital, Absolute
etc., & anything else that takes my fancy. Used to win quite a
lot with 'slogan' comps years ago though - fond memories! :j
I've also been known to post a competition occasionally!


I also have a lovely family, great friends and quite a few hobbies
on the go too, so life can get fairly busy.

well tomorrow.


Have a lovely rest of the day all, take care.

Evening folks. Hope I find you all well. Not been on much as I have been busy. DS brought me in a half box of fish so will be busy tomorrow making fish pies for him and GK's as well as one or two for myself. Just as well we both have decent size freezers. He nipped over to shop for me to get some t-bags. He brought back Typhoo which I don't normally have but found that they are actually ok. So will give them a go for a while as they are cheaper than Tetley. (love my tea) Well done to anyone who has won and good luck to all for wins this year.

It’s Brr..... here again today. I didn’t go out but DH went for his hearing test at hospital and has to go back in a months time.

Sheils great you had a good tine in Edinburgh despite the cold. Journey home didn’t sound too good.

Hi Rose happy backing tomorrow I love fish pie.

Chocolatelover well done on your win. Sometimes I’m really slow at comps but I speeded up with Advents. So now I’ve started entering a few daily Magazine comps. Most of my wins come from web entries. I’ve been entering some Twitter comps for about a year now and have had a couple of wins. I don’t count number of entries. I only enter for things i would like to win or for family. It’s a hobby I enter and forget. Good luck.

Verksies hope your throat is better especially for tomorrow. Hope it goes well.

Alfie we heard about the breakfast pizza must say I didn’t fancy it at all.

Hope everyone has a good evening.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome

Alfieblue - he is getting better thank you his name is a Alfie too haha

Leanfun - thank you I've not won on Twitter but have won a few comps on FB when my DS was first born for baby bits.

Good luck everyone
