The Compers Inn (part 48)

indie

Good morning, glad you had a good night out with your friend leanfun.
Hope you enjoyed your meal at Cafe Rouge sheils.
I had a good day at work,even though it rained most of the day.It seemed to stop when we had our breaks,lol.
Just listening to the news about Thomas Cook, shame they couldn't find a rescue package and i hope all the holiday makers can claim there money back but that's no compensation is you have been looking forward to your holiday all year.That's a sign of our times i'm afraid.
It's raining here lightly but they have forecast heavy rain later, i have the dentist later for check up.Hope you all have a lucky day.

Awake early today. Sheils hope you enjoyed your meal. We like Cafe Rouge too. Hope you can dodge the rain. It’s fine here this morning so far.

Yesterday I went to a MacMillan coffee morning at a friend’s house. I had not seen her for a long time and her husband died last summer. It was good meeting up with old friends, who mainly had children the same age as ours.
DH went with his sister to a cousin’s 100th Birthday yesterday in Essex. That side of the family keep themselves to themselves and I only met this cousin once over 40 years ago. Apparently she’s quite spritely. She lives next door to her daughter and her husband who look after her.

Indie hope your dentist appointment went well. Agree with you about Thomas Cook. A lot of disappointment for many people. Dreadful for their employees. Read that some of Monarch’s staff had been taken on by Thomas Cook. Tui are now looking to take on more staff.

Never seem to catch up with competitions these days so here goes. Take care everyone with this weather. And Good luck.

I will send you some of our rain if you want leanfun,lol. We have had heavy rain all night and it's still coming down now.I had an early night last night, got up a couple of times in the night for the loo but knew it was raining as Charlie never moved,lol
My dentist went ok,nothing needed doing.I hope you catch up with the comps,like everyone else i had trouble with a few mag dailys but will try again later. Hope you all have a good day.

Good Morning,
Been having nice time. Stayed near Wigan last night. It is a lovely nearly new Holiday Inn Express Hotel. Doing lots of walking. Did over 20,000 steps yesterday, part of which was walking more of the Leeds & Liverpool canal.
It was a decent day until 5pm just before we were walking to Frankie & Bennys for dinner. (15min walk)
We do like Cafe Rouge leanfun but do tend to have the duck most times!
Using Meerkat deals means the food is half price which is a lot more acceptable.
Off to Southport for 2 nights now. Was hoping to go to where we left off on canal and walk a bit more but it will depend on weather as showers forecast. We are trying to join a gap on our canal walking which is now about 5 miles I think but then we have to walk back to car so won’t do it in one walk.
Didn’t realise everyone was having problems with the MDs indie. There was one lot I couldn’t do last night. Was trying to do them before going to bed.
Must get on and get my shower before breakfast.
Wishing everyone lots of luck.

The MD are ok now sheils.I hope the weather stays ok so you can finish the canal walk.I have never been to Cafe Rouge even though we have one over the road, in the Marina. DS and his GF have been a couple of times.
It's still raining here but did stop for the afternoon yesterday so i got some towels out and dry, just got them in before the rain started again,lol
I was working today but it was cancelled so i will just have to comp,lol.
Hope you all have a good day

Morning. Indie sorry to hear your work was cancelled yesterday. Good luck with the comps.

Sheils hope you are enjoying Southport and dodge the rain. Strangely we didn’t have the very heavy continuous rain expected but lots of light rain.

Yesterday I was Trying to post on here but kept being interrupted with the phone. DD2 had some chest pains on Tuesday at the end of a long trip to the hospital doctors decided it was muscular not cardiovascular thank goodness. It was 2.15 Wednesday morning before she was home again. Yesterday her Six year old was sick, there’s something going around the school. It’s difficult being so far away. I had intended going to visit today but won’t be able to with sickness there. Still she’s feeling much better in herself just tired. Thinking about it she had moved things about try to de clutter.

Recently I’ve been wondering about continuing with Instagram comps. Then on Tuesday I had two wins. Some toiletries about £30 and then a win of an iPhone cover. It’s supposed to be the bees knees in iPhone covers and would be £79,99 to buy. DD1 has chosen a cover for her phone. She’s the most accident prone.

Hope everyone is well. Take care and good luck.

Morning,

Just popped in to report a nice little FB win. Have won a 3 ngt break at a caravan site we sometimes use near St Abbs. At least I think they are the details. Verdant leisure is sending me a voucher. Their t&cs look bit confusing but will be happy with a break at any of their sites as they are all handy for us. Had to comment on a memory from a stay with them on their FB page. So nice to get a win! Also won £1 on GfK media so maybe luck changing again.

Well done on your wins leanfun.

In Blackpool now so going to see the Illuminations and the World Firework
Finale tonight. Been loooking forward to the fireworks since I booked the hotel in the Village Hotel December sale! They were showing rooms for tonight at over £200 room only! We paid about £40 including breakfast and a drink each.
Must get on.

Well done on the wins, still waiting for my first instagram win. Sounds like your DD1 will get good use from the phone cover,lol. Glad DD2 is home and it's not cardiovascular. I hope her littlens over the sickness now.24 hour bug i expect.
Great win for you sheils, just the kind you like,lol. Enjoy the fireworks tonight.
Work was ok yesterday,off till sunday now, took DS for a Dr's visit this morning, then went food shopping. DS's GF has her friend down for the weekend so took them into town they are going for a bit of shopping then swimming. Hope you all have a good afternoon.

Sheils congratulations on your Facebook win. Sounds ideal for you. Hope you enjoyed last night’s illuminations. You had a bargain there.

Thanks re wins. FireFly’s fairy dust has worked wonders. Yesterday I had another win and was in shock for the rest of the day. WEM to say I’ve won a 2 night stay in London plus theatre tickets plus cocktails plus spar.
I didn’t quite believe the email then I had a second from the person who will organise it. From here

Indie, yes it was a 24 hour sickness. GS was sick for one whole day better next day. Yesterday was GD’s turn. She panicked when she was sick so it was very stressful. It’s a shame as she has just started school. Something going around school. Yesterday evening DD2 didn’t feel too good.
Indie hope you have a bit of rest on your days off.

Hope everyone has a good weekend and good luck.

wow..well done on your win leanfun. Great win. Hope your DD2 don't go down with the bug but it usually goes through the household like a wild fire. Well it does in this house,lol
It's dry here and suns out,don't know how long for but it's windy so have washing out and hopefully it should dry.Hope you all have a good day
