Good Grief !

Is that the time already..............I must have been asleep or something !

Two Breakfasts.........I can see my 'six pack' beginning to look more like a big melon. LOL

Morning you lovely ladies.........been out using the Morning Dew.?

Where has all my snow gone ? Just big heaps left now where I shovelled it to. And it's beginning to look all black and horrible. Think I'll paint it white.

Maddie....do you have insomnia....or are you just getting in from a party.

Jean..........trust you are well......certainly the breakfast is.

Mommy........What's shopping ? Is it sore to do that ?

Catch you later one and all.

Your wee, extremely handsome, very, very modest, Scotsman. ROFL.

Morning everyone.

So much food to choose from, what lovely people we have on here, making this delicious breakfast for us. Think I'll have sausage, bacon and egg with a cup of coffee.

We've still got ice on the road but most of the snow has gone. But like Stephen, we've still got piles of dirty snow and ice on the sides of the path.

Hopefully, the road will clear by the end of the day.

Pauline,

I put some of my 'dirty snow' in the washing machine to clean it.

Someone must have opened the door of the machine and taken it out....it's not there any more.....strange.

My God Maddie, 16ft high ceilings!! I thought mine were high at about 11ft. Our windows are ceiling to floor as well, but at least they're double glazed, so we don't lose too much heat. It must cost a fortune trying to heat your house in the winter.

Not much point me trying that then Stephen ............if it doesn't work.

Looks horrible doesn't it?

Morning everyone from a newcomer.!
Thought I'd be brave and dip into your thread, hope you don't mind.

P.S if I'd known you served breakfast on here I might have popped in earlier, lol.

Pauline,

The entrance hall in my daughters house is around 35ft high in the stairwell......I have a grand job to do when I paint that...........and it's hell to heat. It finishes in a large glazed copula.....so guess where all the heat escapes.

Because it's a listed building we can't double glaze the sash windows and they are huge. Good curtains and shutters keep the heat in.

Well, I feel very lucky that this house is lovely and warm, mind you, I panic if the heating doesn't come on straight away.

Do you get danger money Stephen when you decorate that entrance hall?

I know Shelly, I'm waiting for hubby to come back from work so he can dig a big hole.

Hello Catherine, welcome to the thread, help yourself to breakfast, we've got loads.

Morning eveyone it is not so cold this morning. my sister phoned to say her daughter was coming down from Hertfordhire with the children today my sister will look after then while my neice goes into Town to do her Christmas shopping. I said I hope she stay well back from the marchers. they threaten to go back there today..
Maddie my sister as you know lives in Hampstead Garden Suburb she is not allowed to change her window she is in a consavation area.and any work she has done on her house(which is part of the original Hampstead Village )she has to get permission to have done. and it get very cold in there at times other times it is far too hot. she has high ceiling I am not sure how high they are? but there is a window high in the stairwell that you cannot even get too,.
Stephen I had an email from my cousin in Edinburgh this morning. he said thank goodness the snow is now begining to melt. he it appears has had it really bad. I told him you had , had your fair share of it as well.
I am going to have a cuppa now dont feel like breakfast, MY cold is better than it was but I am having trouble breathing I must smell like a chemist shop with Vic on my chest and obis oil on my hankie.

Trufflina.......are you all 'white' now ?

Rita......Edinburgh was a nightmare.....I had to go in to the City a couple of times on business.
Please keep your cold away from the Cyber Hatch....don't want to catch it.

Catherine.....Welcome to our nuthouse.

Forgot to tell you we have an entrance initiation.

You must use a broomstick and have a quick fly round the country to visit us all. You will be offered loads of drink and most probably finish up going home just ever so slightly intoxicated.
I'll have my Special Reserve Malt Whisky ready for your arrival.

Heading out soon....going to a scrapyard to get a bit for Mrs Stephens car.
I'm into recycling........and saving a few bob too.

PATRICIA................DERMOT..............Where are you ?

Stephen2009 Report 11 Dec 2010 09:48

A Christmas Wish before I go.

That I could send 'Cyber' Christmeas Greeting Cards just like the lovely ones I have received ffrom you lovely ladies.

Modern Technology only confuses simpletons like me. I'm much better at rebuilding Cars, Boats or Houses or fixing a broken body or two.

Yvonne.....what a lovely horse.......I'm jealous.........wish I had four legs in this weather.

Stephen if you're good a fixing things I've got some guttering that needs fixing/replacing, snow and ice have buckled it a bit.

Rita, you need to eat something - even if you don't feel like it. I think that's right ...........feed a cold, starve a fever!
