Rita, we did have more snow, I've just been outside clearing it away, wish the council would clear the road.

So that's why Mo got up early, she's looking to see what Marilyn's brought back.

I know she's brought some nice diamonds back, but they aren't for us.

Due to a misspelling, a certain store was selling 'mice pies' recently.

Dermot,

A tall 'tail' ?

Great weather !

Clear sky, sunshine, -6C on the thermometer.

Had a wee ski outing for a bit of shopping. Magic.

Ready for a coffee and a snack now.

The icicles on the north side of my house are about 3ft long. Going to knock them off before they brain someone......probably be me.

Catch you all later.

YO HOO !!

I'm home ............Pete has plugged me in, but I have soooooo much mail to sort out.

Thank you Mo for your lovely Christmas Card...I will only have my Cards as Decorations as I'm off again next week,.
Awwwhh I got my log fire on, and its smelling lovey. It will take a few hours to heat my place, but we are getting there.
All unpacked.....I'm so pleased with my effort to get it all away.
I did unpack the Sun for you all as your pressies ......at least it sprang out of my suit case at Heathrow this morning....did you all see it ???

Linda where was my Red Carpet, and all the laid on trimmings ???? no excuse for hubby not being there ,he could have organized it better everyone knows I like attention ..LOL

Blimey Dermot did you swallow a dictionary I've never seen you post such a long sentence in a few pages back !! LOL

Jean I 'm so glad to hear your good news its about time someone gave news to make us all happy ..xx

I have just skipped through friendly but I'm going for my lovely hot stupendous Bath that I have missed .....don't like showers much .

I'll be back soon.......

OK !

Who's for an Icicle Sword fight ?

Piles of them.....could supply an army if need be.

A couple as thick as my arm and 4ft long.

They could be used as spears...or HUGE DARTS.....wonder which one of us plays darts LOL

Marilyn,

'Fluffy Paws' is on stand-by. as soon as you're out of the bath ROFL

Welcome Home !.

Dermot they didnt make a mistake they were mince pies for the mice.

Pauline you can keep your snow or send it to Russia.

I had to go to the foot clinic this morning it was bitterly cold out , the bus stop usually have a timetable working letting you know where the bus was . and when due. but it was not working. I waited 15 minutes.it was empty when it came and cold I swear there was no heating on.
The bus had not been cleaned either there were old chips on the floor and papers and someone had dropped a bottle of drink.,
I got there on time to the clinic . When I came out, I walked to the bus stop which is on a hill and it was bitterly cold , I stood there 29 minutes nothing passed me. then a bus on the otherside of the road pulled up and the driver leaned out and said sweetheart it is too cold you standing there you have to go around to the Garage as nothing is coming up that side of the road due to a barrier failure.
There was no ice explaining anything. so walked , it took me 20 minutes. I was freezing when the bus came. at the stop as I got off was a sheet of ice. it was like an ice rink so I walked in the road till I had passed the ice.
I was so glad to get back home and in the warm

Rita

My oh my, I leave you lot for a few hours,and what happens, I miss all the gossip.
Hi ya Marilyn, good to see you home again for a week. Glad you got the card o.k, I posted all of them at the same time, but some are taking a time to arrive.
Watch out when you get out of your bath, Stephen is on the prowl, he says "Fluffy Paws" is on stand by, but it's him in disguise, he's waiting to whip your towel away,and see your sun tan.

Stephen, my darts are huge enough. They used to belong to the Assagai
tribe, they used them as spears, with poison tips on them. No one gets in my way when it is my shot, just in case they get more piercings than they want.

I have been back to the dentists again this afternoon. I have yet another lot of inflamation in my gum.
She may have to refer me to the dental surgeon at the hospital. A crown I had done,some years ago, seems have got an infection in the roots,causing the problems.
She cant do the root canal treatment I will need,as I have to have the crown removed, and the treatment done, and then the crown replaced.
The root canal treatment was done before I had the crown fitted, so I have no idea how this infection has occured.
I hope she does refer me,as I seem to be spending more time at the dentists than I need to,and I want this sorted out. I am losing faith in her now.
Going to start dinner in a bit, bangers +mash and beans tonight. It will be like the windy city here tonight. See ya's later.

I've just said 'goodbye' to Jay - my guinea pig who died today aged 7 yrs.

Hello, hope you have all had a good day.
Thank you for all the lovely messages, I dont think it has quite sunk in what they told me yesterday.
Have had a great day, not done very much, took my Grandaughter to see Father Christmas, dont think she was very impressed, tried to pull his beard.
Are you all ready for Christmas? I am going to make a start tomorrow,
shopping for presents, normally I have finished by now, but couldn't seem to get going this year.
Going to do tea now,
Take care and stay safe.
Jean xx

Hi Again,

Stephen you missed me getting out of the bath ...LOL

It was simply the best bath I have had for 5 weeks .....well the only bath !! LOL

I am now feeling really really Jet Lagged......my eyes are closing all the time that I type. I missed a night sleep over the Atlantic.
I have put my electric Blanket on and will be in there as soon as it hot !!

I will be on top form tomorrow.....wait and see ,so its good night from me xxxx

Jean, you can now relax,and enjoy the season of good will.
Children either like or dislike father christmas don't they. Two of our lot screamed the place down when they were taken to see him, but the rest of them were so excited, they thought he was the pucker thing.
Don't buy all the shops up tomorrow,and wear yourself out.

Night night Marilyn, have a good rest.

It's out folks......

Marilyn hasn't had a bath for 5 weeks..........POOOOOOONNNNNGGG

Yep ! Saw you getting out of the bath......I was all wrapped in toilet tissue.

YUR BUM IS WHITE.

Home!
It's freezing out there!
Marilyn, in the olden days people only used to have a bath once a year!
Sorry about your guinea pig, Dermot..
I got another Christmas present today! My list is going down.
Mommy I hpe you get your teeth sorted out soon
Catch you all later x

Have yourself a nice hot drink Pat, you'll soon warm up. Marilyn is our water baby, she has her bath every morning,and does not like a shower.
Now me, I like my bath of a night time, all nice and refreshed ready for my bed.
See you later love. Mo

Dermot....Sorry about your loss....is 7 old for a Guinea Pig ?

Patricia....swop you places.....we're at -12C just now......will go down to around -16C at dawn tomorrow....that's freezing.

Wrap up well and it's fine outside.

Saying that though there is still nothing to beat a cosy night in with a good book and a nice wee fire burning to toast the feet at.

Managed to get Mrs Stephens car to the Garage for MOT. The garage was snowed in but a farmer cleared it for Craig the owner. Won't know anything for a few days....the MOT tester is snowed in at home. LOL

It has been glorious here today and I enjoyed my ski trip to the village shop for a couple of things. All the hills turned pink again as the sun set.

Catch you later !

I have forgotten to ask for addresses, for me to send christmas cards to
some of our friendlies. If you would rather not confide your addresses, I will understand.

Oooh Stephen, you are soooooo brave, heading out into the wild blue yonder, to take Mrs Stephen's car for it's medical. LOL
Seriously, I am envious of you braving the cold and snow, I am like Pat, and would like to stay indoors till the sun starts to shine again.
By the way, your christian name was my maiden name, and when I write it, I am transported back in time, oh so many moons ago, when I was but a child.

Mo I could not open you email to me I tired three times why does this happen to me I canmot understand. it.

Stephen I saw the news on TV tonight and they showed Scotland and the lines of traffic and people had to sleep in their cars all night some left their cars and started walking they were all so cold they were all having ago at the Scottish Transport minster for not getting the gritters out on the road till it was to late, he said he didnt get them out , as he had no idea the roads and weather would be so bad.
a lot of main roads which are always busy had no traffic on it at all the w eather reporter walked up and down it to show you.

Marilyn is that true your bum is white ?because you didnt expose it to the sun ?
