The Compers Inn (part 48)

:hello: Hi everyone

We had more severe gales throughout the night down my
way. :eek: Thankfully my gates once again survived. :j It's
such a beautiful sunny day now, the weather is so
changeable!


rose - hope your poorly wrist is feeling a bit better
today. :A Brilliant idea to stock up with provisions especially
if the weather is bad up your way.


Sorry to hear about your sister not being so well leanfun - but
pleased that she was feeling a little better yesterday evening.
Sending big ((hugs)). xx Unfortunately there are so many virus
related illnesses etc doing the rounds of late! I hope there's
also good news re the flu swab & also hope that she doesn't
have a long wait for a scan particularly if her breathing is
laboured. Thankfully though they are treating her for blood
clot and infection. xxx


Hope the dreaded cold clears up soon for you Sheils xx Must
admit - I've only ever lost my voice once (years ago & cold
related). Found it sooo frustrating - especially as I'm quite a
chatterbox!

Alfie, thanks for the info on the sugar swap :A very interesting. I like cashews and nuts so may swap for that. DD1 wants to do it too except when it's her monthlies as she said she needs her choc then!

I had a nice £50 win on a scratch card yesterday right after I decided to open my money saving tin! I had £212 in tin though which is more than I thought I had so that was a bonus

:T Very well done of your SC win wingo! :T :j And the joy
of finding out that you had more than you thought stashed
away! :j:j:j:j You lucky thing! :rotfl::rotfl:

Must admit - Sugar-free February is fast approaching now. :eek:
Thankfully it's only 28 day to get through. I know I can do it ....
just hope my willpower holds! :eek: Had quite a giggle on the
Betty thread this morning - this was me urging B*C to stay
strong ......

Winnie the Pooh Day



One of the cuddliest holidays around has to be Winnie the Pooh
Day, celebrated on the birthday of author A A Milne. It’s one
special anniversary fans just can’t bear to miss! Every year, the
occasion is marked with events such as teddy bears’ picnics,
featuring plenty of honey on the menu.

Winnie the Pooh first appeared on the printed page in 1926,
together with friends Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore. All of them were
based on toys owned by the author’s son, who also featured in the
famous stories as Christopher Robin. The character later starred in
a series of much-loved Disney films. One extra-special way to
mark the day is to visit Pooh Corner in Hartfield, East Sussex,
where the books were written. You can pick up a map to follow in
the characters’ footsteps, and even play a game of Poohsticks on
the original bridge.

Edit: We now have torrential rain here!

Morning folks. Very cold here again. More of the white stuff has fallen overnight. DS is only going in to work for a short time today but I am on standby in case he is held up with traffic to pick kids up from school. So may have to go out in the afternoon. It took him nearly four hours to get home on Tuesday when we first had snow. Traffic was ok on motorway but the minute he left it he was held up. Traffic here on Tuesday afternoon was horrendous it was nearly at a standstill when I was out in the afternoon. I actually thought there had been a serious accident further along the road because of the way it was crawling along. Got a bit of a sore throat and a cough this morning but apart from that feel ok. Going to run over to chemist later to get some lozenges. Shiels hope your cold is getting a bit better and not hindering you too much. I hope I find everyone else fit and healthy. Take care peeps and be lucky.

Just been outside for a short while. Retrieved snow shovel out of shed and cleared paths in courtyard and put down some salt. I am now cuddling a hot water bottle and sitting with back on radiator trying to warm myself up lol.

Morning all,

Had a fairly bad night from about 3am to 6am - just coughing and spluttering the whole time. DH gave up and slept downstairs especially as he isn't feeling too great either. Think it was actually DS3 who gave us this. I am feeling a little better now I am up and managed to eat half a bowl of porridge.
Glad your sister is feeling a bit better leanfun and hope your cough doesn't get worse rose.

Love the caterpillar Alfie!

Evening ff hope you are feeling a bit better after your shower and meal. Had a busy afternoon. Ds was crawling along at a snails pace on the motorway so went and picked up GK's from school. Settled them down with some warm soup when GS said his other gran was outside (he could see her through french doors) then he said his great gran was there as well. So toddled out to help great gran in. His gran was taking her home and could not see the road very well as snow was so heavy so they stopped here. They were settled down with some soup as well lol. 15 minutes later in came DS so he settled down with a plate of soup which turned into two. Took an apple tart out of the freezer and stuck it in the oven and we all had that with cream and ice cream. Once everyone had departed stuck dishes in D/Washer which is not used that often nowadays and sat down with a cuppa. Throat is getting sorer so hope I have not passed anything on. Cough is really annoying me. So just gonna play catch up on comps.
