Morning all!

ScarletRibbons

Good morning again. I haven't posted for a week or two, I had some kind of virus which knocked me flat. It's unusual for me, I rarely even have a cold. Anyway, it's gone now. I was more worried about dh, but he's ok.
There's a thin layer of snow here, hope Izzy isn't snowed in, it'll be worse where she is.
I've read back a little way, Dp1 I'm sorry to see that dgd is poorly, hope she soon picks up.
Hope everyone else is all right, take care folks.

Morning Scarlett and all to follow

Its nice to see you posting Scarlett we have been worried about you, I hope everything is ok ? X

Very cold here again this morning but no frost, it’s raining very hard though, the heating kicked on this morning so it was nice to get up to a warm house.

I am off to see Matt today, they found out yesterday that he got his funding for his residential place so a move in imminent, it will be a few weeks yet but I am very pleased for them all it’s what they all need. I have not been given notice yet but will find out more today, I think the notice will take me up till just before Christmas so I need to start looking for work for after that. I will miss the family as we have become good friends.

Dinner tonight will be pizza and salad nice and easy after being at work, I have a shopping delivery coming too, OH has the day off today and he will be going to see his dad and then pop in on his mum too, I’m afraid his sister will never step up which makes me so angry, I do more for her parents than she does 😡

I really need to get on and wrap some presents, it’s mums Birthday tomorrow and then three more family members before Christmas, it’s an expensive time of year.

DP1 I hope little one is ok xxx

Have good days all and take care xx

Morning everyone pleased you are back scarlet and feeling better yes we have snow but we can get about not as bad as we thought I don’t know if there will be any food left in the shops as you only have to have one snowflake and they panic buy but we are always well stocked up . I’m off out to doa cleaning job soon hubby is going to light the log burner while I’m out . DP1 I hope you have better news about little one today . My little dog is always tucked up warm but when she’s out she loves the snow and frosty mornings she’s been like a puppy this morning now back in and snuggling up to her furry blanket what a life . Thinking of all the poorlies hugs to those that need them have a good day everyone whatever you are doing

Morning all. Thanks for starting the thread @Gers x

Good to see you posting @ScarletRibbons and hope you and DH are over the worse x 

Off to work today - I start at 10am so no rushing about. I enjoyed Monday - I was using their database and learning the ropes. All good. 

We have a front door man coming later - hoping to get some ideas as our current one is awful ☹️ Carbonara for tea later. 

Sorry SIL is being rubbish @RedRuby1231 it just beggars belief. Hope you have a good day with Matt x

Hope DGD is improving @dp1 x

Still missing @nannywindow and @silver-oldie - hope you’re doing okay? 

For those in the frozen zone, please take care x
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning 
Thank you for the start @ScarletRibbons , pleased you're feeling better.

Temperature has plummeted, no frost and it's raining this morning.

Picked the last few tomatoes yesterday, mainly green so will probably make chutney.
Think I'll make some soup.

@dp1 sorry little one isn't well, hope she feels better soon.

Take care

Morning all - thanks for the start @Scarlet, good to have you back. I hope that you're fully recovered, just keep taking things easy.

It's blooming cold here, not quite in minus figures but close. The other day I brought out the winter duvet bit, I'm going to use it doubled up this year, not attached to the other one. I need more warmth over me rather on the half which isn't used. Let's see how I fare. No central heating here, so until I light the stove downstairs the place is baltic.

Yesterday I was fairly slothful, I only went out to get a TV magazine and a cauliflower. The rain just tipped down all day, sometimes heavy and sometimes less so - but persistent. Then, in the evening it dried up and we had a glorious sunset. Still no rain this morning and I'm watching fluffy pink clouds gently drift across the sky with the west wind. The stars were twinkling earlier this morning. It all almost makes up for the weather.

I've washed my hair and now having my first coffee. There's soup to make, I keep on planning to do this and then don't. 

I've a couple of orders arriving today, at least that's what I've been told, so will stay close by. I hope that all are doing well, keeping warm and getting better.
