It's getting tough out there. Feeling the pinch?

Don't forget that you can watch Channel 4 (More4) & ITVHub  on the computer- but I'm sure you already know that!

I ordered 600 gms each of pink and blue wool from Sirdar at half price on 25th November. Evri apparently have it in their possession, I wish theywould deliver it, as I am wanting to make a start on a couple of big blankets

Oh lord I do hope my beautiful wool isn't amongst it. I have emailed Sirdar, and I am awaiting a reply as its over £32.00 worth of double knitting wool !!!. Fingers crossed Aylsford is only about 5 miles from me in Rainham

I do indeed but, somehow, it's just not the same as a TV screen!  Thanks anyway for the suggestion.  I've often wondered why ITV and the Beeb don't have a dedicated sports channel each instead of disrupting their main channel(s).  Not that we watch a great deal on either of them so it hasn't been as bad for us as perhaps it's been for others.  In fact, we've probably watched (and enjoyed) some programmes on the other channels that we wouldn't normally watch.  And I can always get lost in a book if need be.  

Oh dear Jackie, it isn't looking good for your wool, is it?  Fingers crossed indeed.

You can also get them via Freeview on your tv. Free are the ITV, 4, My5, UKtvplay, CBS catchup. and STV - well they are the ones I bother with 

Rarely watch "proper tv"

I have my laptop connected to the TV so I watch on that (HDMI lead).

Re Evri - I had 5 parcels 'go missing' in November when I had the misfortune to use them for Eeebay sales and I suspect this is not an isolated incident. Their complaints procedure is an unfunny joke.

Strangely enough I had a good experience with them last week, I got the seemingly rare courier that follows written instructions on the door! I think I am lucky locally, was more than a little surprised to find out that Evri is a rebranding of Hermes which I found consistently dreadful.

Weather here in the south is cold but nowhere near as cold as it is elsewhere. The frost has stuck since Thursday so it's been quite pleasant to walk in the patches melted by the sun yesterday. It's  now raining heavily so no more frost for a while I suspect.

Personally I am sticking to Royal Mail despite the strikes for my ebay sales.

I am rather Ill right now. It’s laying me off work,indeed I am in hospital. As a result of the illness,my job will have to end,and our incomes- wife and me- will decline drastically. Reading on the Old Style MoneySaving will be a great help in the coming time . Thanks.
