Shelly why don't you invest in one of those hot air machines that blow nice and hot wherever you go in the house you can get them quite reasonable, under £20 I use one sometimes in the kitchen when first start to cook.

If you have an extension cable you could even put it in the loo !!

Put it on your Christmas list .....see I know what you want for Christmas .

Now that's two things so far .

Hot air machine.
All in one blanket .

Now put the list on the table for all the family to see .....easy !!

Shelly, I think they're waiting until all your family have been married and moved out, so they can give you a smaller house.

Marilyn, will you put new wellies on my list please?

And maybe a sledge.

Dame Shelly,

If there are empty house next to you, up or down or through the walls, you will have a problem keeping your house warm.
If you have curtains that can pull shut make sure you close them. But dont shut out the sunlight that comes through any window.....that will help heat the room.
Hard to advise when I don't know your property.

A friend has been on the phone.....the snow has been blown into drifts 10Ft deep outside his house.

My 4ft is bad enough....pity him though at that depth

Very low temps expected tonight. Better sleep with the wooly hat on.
in case the brain freezes.

Pauline.....one of my mates has a proper Sleigh that is pulled by a horse....it's great to see it in action. I just use a poly bag to slide on. LOL

Guess who's new dishwasher didn't arrive today ? Wonder why ?
My hands are getting all red and sore looking.....never out of a basin.

Marilyn.............I loved the white sands of the Florida beaches.....and also the warm water of the Gulf.
Didn't like the sharks that were around when i was snorkelling though.
Thankfully they must have known I was a bit of old, tough Scottish Beef that would probably have damaged their teeth if they had bitten me.

Well I'm going for Coffee now. Will be back later.

We need some 'Hot off the Press' gossip. Someone must know something worth spreading about.

'Hot off the Press' Gossip.

Cliff Richards is having an affair with Boy George.

Camilla is said to be angry that Cliff is two timing her.

A Palace Spokesperson has said that Prince Charles will make a full statement tomorrow.

Charles is said, by an insider, to be furious. He thought he was the only one in Cliffs life

Wagner has denied supplying drugs to the Palace and has returned his
'By Appointment to HM The Queen' Licence

Shelly,

Do you have Hot Water Radiators in each of your rooms run from a Gas Boiler ?
Does your front door open straight to the outside or into a stairway or close.? Do you have a back door ?

Is your Electric for lighting, telly, etc only or do use it for an Immersion Heater for Hot bathwater or shower.

No I meant perhaps you could put plastic over your wndows for the time being to stop the cold getting into your rooms.

I use to love the old coal fire's we had them when we first got married.the heat use to circulate alot better than the heat from the radiators.

Thank you for the wedding photos Yvonne they are lovely I liked your dress. very beautiful.

I am off to bed now.
