Oh Yvonne
I read that as piddled !!!

Snow fallen and settled not much but very cold.

Called off going to friends tonight huibby looking in the freezer for dinner now. Our friend has taken an hour and a half to get from Heathrow to his home nearly twice as long as usual. He also said his estate was very icy and he had slid on a roundabout. So we have decided to stay put.

Take care if any of you have to go out

Hope Stephen is OK maybe his internet is down with more snow?

Linda :o) XxX

Marilyn thank goodness that got sorted , good job it happened before Christmas day otherwise he might have had a long wait at A & E. I take it you went to" The Norfolk and Norwich Hospital "?

we have thick snow here now it started after dinner time and just kept falling down it is laying thick on the ground now

I have good news my son in Law's operation went well last June they said they are thrilled to bits with his progress they have got rid of the cancer but they cannot give him the all clear but no more treatment is needed only a blood test every 9 weeks for a blood count then in a years time a scan Brett drove them to London to the hospital coming back my d aughter said it was snowing so hard they could not see a hand in front of them.
Heathrow was so icy and lots of traffic.
My nephew flew into Heathrow this morning from Washing DC he had been at the airport for 12 hours before they found him a flight from Washington to Heathrow my sister said he had a cooked breakfast and fell into bed exhausted.
It is her birthday tomorrow so I am pleased Martin made it to England.

My throat is still sore and I feel like sh,t at the moment still I have not got to go out ..
I had some more cards from people I didnt send any too. one pair I thought they were dead. so have had no contact for two years, they still live in Heron Kent. so that came out of the blue..
I am off now have a cup of tea and feel sorry for myself.

Love Rita

omg marilyn
i think its now your turn to put on that nures uniform and take care of the poor old man
how can you of let him get all trest out and in a paneck
you tell pete that you will see to all his needs
do you here me

SORRY !

Been missing from the 'action' for a wee while !

All ok with us here......been giving a friend a bit of assistance....thankfully his troubles are easing now.

NO SNOW.....great news so far. It's the North of Scotland that's getting hammered just now.

Gonna catch you all later.

Marilyn, sorry to hear about Hubby. It's always seemingly a lot worse if you have never had any illness. Pete will need to ease up a bit possibly..
HBP....doesn't mean HUGE BUM PAIN through sitting on it too long......better to do a bit than sit on your bum becoming morose.
I'm sure you'll get your Whip out if needed Marilyn. Be good to Pete.

Hi,
The Christmas dinner was very nice.
What do you mean Stephen No snow!
Marilyn I hope Pete is ok.

Rita that is such good news about your son in law. You can all now relax and enjoy Christmas.
As both you Jean and Marilyn all know, they don't give you the all clear for years after treatment has finished, but god willing for all of you, the end outcome will be good.

Hi Pat, glad you enjoyed your Christmas dinner. Did you get a secret santa gift.

Stephen, thank goodness you are both o.k.
Who's a lucky boy then getting away without any snow. I think we got your share here in Kent. No it's not to bad at the moment actually, but we have been warned it COULD be worse tomorrow.
Thank the lord I did my big shop yesterday, wev'e got enough bread and milk to last us through till at least Wednesday. So we wont go hungry or thirsty.

I wonder if Maddie and Cath have survived their day at work. I don't suppose Maddie will worry to much once she gets a couple of cups of tea down her throat. LOL

Hi Yvonne,Jean, Rita, Linda, Shelly, Pauline,Marilyn, Lady, Sue, Dermot, I hope I have not forgotten anyone.
I believe there are 15 of us now.
Stephen, Maddie, Pat, Cath and of course Moi.

We haven't had any snow today either, plenty of ice though, it's bitter cold.

Marilyn, that must have been a shock for you all, pleased it was nothing serious though. You need to pamper him a bit now .............but not too much, he might get to like it ;o)

Rita, that's good news about your son-in-law, things are looking up for your family, you'll all be able to enjoy your Christmas now.

Linda, that's so sad about that young man who you looked after, tragic for something like to happen to someone so young. His parents must be in a right state, and very sad for you as well.

Wonder if Maddie is enjoying a nice cup of tea.

I went shopping this afternoon, it was heaving.

Hello everyone, trust you are all inside and keeping warm.
am having a very early night as it hasn't been a very good day.

(_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)?
hot chocolate,
or a hot toddy for anyone who prefers it.

Sweet dreams,
Jean xx

The snow laid all around deep and crisp and even.
that is the scene here at the moment. it looks a picture .

Looks like I will be here on my own over Christmas. after all. ?there is no way my family can drive here in this . they have to come past Heathrow and that road is murder at this minute.If the snow is better nearer Christmas day I will be alright but no way will I let them drive in this.

I have sent all my cards off two birthday cards I have to post off for Chrstmas day,
every year I put my little christmas tree up and decorate it. this year I didnt feel well enough to do that but I will try and do it in the next few days..

Pat I am pleased you enjoyed the dinner.

Stephen I saw the snow on the news in Aberdeen they certainly have it bed there.. I hope they mange to get home they will be freezing stuck out in their cars and lorries in the open and freezing weather .

Yvonne I hope your horses are well potected . poot animals in the open in this weather I feel really sorry for all those wild ponies on Dartmoor.

Rita

Its chilly round the willy

and

nippy on the nipples

Hello !

Am I on the right Thread ?

'Willy'.....'Nipples'

Dame Shelly.......tut, tut.

Are you all speaking French or Italian yet ?

Why is it that nearly all adverts just now are foisted on us with terrible accents.......and those guys with 'designer stubble' need a good shave.

My wife cracks up when I have my 'designer stubble'

It's well below freezing here......that's fine.....as long as the dreaded snow stays away.

Well it's time for supper, gonna have a bit of toast and cheese..

Catch you later.

Rita,

The family might still manage to get to you. Things can change overnight.

Anyway if you don't get out I'll be grabbing the Broomstick and heading your way.

We'll have a right old 'Highland Fling'.

Keep well.

I dont talk with an accent
i talk the same all the time

ant that right mo we talk normal

Stephen do you mean to tell me your broomstick is not iced to the ground ? mine is.
I have been watching the Heros on Tv and cried right through it. i have about four wet hankies. those men and wome are so brave god bless everyone of them. I dont know where they get their strength from to carry on the way they are. it amazes me .

I am off to bed now I had my Horlicks the had hot lemon and honey and two paracetmols so I hope I get a good nights sleep.

Good Night everyone
God Bless

Rita

Time to cuddle down for the night !

Nice cosy bed.....a good book......PEACE !

Temperature down at -9C just now.

Night all !

It's 4.00am....

.thought I'd pop in and make sure you were all behaving !!!!!!!!!!

Morning everyone, looks like we have had a lot of snow during the night, so going out today may be difficult.
Suppose I could do some more work on my tree.
If you have to go out take care.
Rita, I do hope you are feeling better today. keep warm.
Hope you all have a peaceful weekend.
Take care and stay safe.

YUMMY !

A good hearty breakfast.......Thanks Jean.

Very cold out just now............but a blessing as well.............NO SNOW HERE.

Today we are having a Family Day out......were going to the Falkirk Wheel on the canal then a boat trip with Santa on a Canal Barge and a visit to his Grotto.

But......guess what....The Wheel is frozen and the Canal is iced over. So no Wheel and no Boat trip.....just a visit to Santas Grotto. Ah well, you can't have everything can you. The Grandchildren will have fun come what may.
Grandad will make sure of that.

A few wee jobs to do as usual before heading out. An early start as soon as daylight comes.

I should have been fitting daughters Log Burning Stove this weekend but the Chimmney guys couldn't go on the roof to fit the Chimmney liner. The way things are just now I can't see them doing the work for a wee while yet.

I received an email last night with a photo of my newly acquired half sister.
She looks like my dad. Still undecided on my course of action on this one.

Wrap up warm.....stay safe.

Marilyn.....you may need to do a 'Fluffy Paws' on Pete.

Have a good day ya all.

Hey Ho.....off I go.
