indie

Morning, it's a damp start to the day here but not cold, we are having strange weather again up in double figures for a couple of days.DS had another email from mag daily PR company saying sorry we couldn't get hold of address before christmas to send christmas Poinsettia plant so sending a different one on wednesday. I also had my first instagram win, a bracelet and chocolates.I was begining to lose heart with instagram as not had a sniff of a win and 1 turns up,lol.Got to get some milk and bread later but other than that not up to much today.

Morning,


Well done to you and your DS indie.


Hope you got everything cleared up ok leanfun.



Having a lovely break, weather been a bit wet so been making use of the spa at hotel. Done quite a bit of walking too though, about 18,500 steps yesterday (got soaked on way back to hotel!)
Going to motor museum today and then on to Best Western hotel in Kendal.

Morning. Agree with you about the weather Indie. We were at DD1’s last night and on the way back it was 13 degrees at 10pm. She had to work late so we picked GS up from childminders.

Well done on your Son’s mag win. Agree once decorations are down everything looks bare. Hope they send a nice plant. It’s strange about Instagram because a lot of the comps don’t have vast number of entries. Well done on your win. I was trying both and twitter and Instagram not to enter comps from bloggers but somehow you get sucked in. Wins on both are scarce. We seem to have had more success with the mag dailies but you never know.

Sheils great you are having a good break and still managing to walk despite the weather.

Good luck everyone.

Afternoon
The plant turned up and it is lovely, indoor rose bush from M&S in a nice tin. I don't do instagram that needs lots of likes but i know what you mean about getting sucked in.Yes we always seem to win more on mag dailys but as they say "you have to be in it to win".It was great to see we had 2 radio winners on site yesterday,gives us all hope,lol.

Indie great the prize they sent your son was so nice. Brilliant for this time of year to cheer you all up.

Agree with you about Instagram comps with lots of likes. It’s like gleam with lots of entries I just couldn’t be asked. Also agree with you about having to be in it... when I started in here advice was to enter a range of different competitions that’s why I started Twitter when there were lots of comps from there. Have to say I do like most of the pictures on Instagram.
Let’s hope we have some luck this year but it’s a hobby.

We mega overslept again today. Don’t think I can remember being so tired and no energy.

Looks as though some parts if the country are in for bad weather but it’s still fairly mild here.

I expect your just recharging your batteries now leanfun after having a busy time with family last month. I always think you must need the sleep or you wouldn't do it. Last night was the first night i have slept through for nearly a week, and i feel better for it.
We had sunshine earlier but it's gone now, at least it's dry out at the moment, although very cold out there.I did pop to Tesco's earlier for a few bits but don't plan on going out again today. I am not working till sunday so still have a couple of days off.

We are back home now. Hotel in Kendal was very nice - food lovely and with a nice pool, spa and sauna .
Lovely sunny day here so got the washing hung out.
Had bad news, DS3 slipped on ice in Austria and has broken his ankle.
He arrived back yesterday and might need an operation and will be off work for at least 8 wks.

Oh no, sorry to hear that sheils.Let's hope he don't need an op.

Just had a little win on last months daily Arla Big Milk Gruffalo Competition a personlised notepad.I asked for one of my nephews name to be put on as he loves the Gruffalo.

Morning. Sheils sorry to hear about your DS3. It must be very painful. Hope he didn’t need operation. That’s so disappointing for them when they were settling in.
Pleased you enjoyed your break.

Indie well done on notebook win.

Take care everyone and good luck.
