General Chat

Evening everyone.

Am just starting to cool off a little now. I think DET is going to suffer tomorrow, it's going to be hot, hot, hot in her neck of the woods!

Enjoy the shower, LG!! I can't wait to get mine in and for next summer so I can languish under the cool running water :-D :-D :-D

No, I haven't bought a parasol yet, CT!! It's not high on the list of my priorities at the moment, as the car is going for it's MOT in a couple of weeks time :-( :-( :-0

Too hot darn suff? As long as its not too humid, we'll cope. Locally the Met Office is predicting 29c :-D
As ours is a 'cool' house downstairs, we'll sit indoors if necessary. It's the bedroom we have problems with it getting too warm to sleep.

A few years ago when we were visiting eldest in CA, we spent a week in Las Vegas experiencing temps in excess of 100f. When we arrived at our daughter's in the San Fransico Bay area hinterland, we were complaining that at 86f we were cold!

You get used to most things....eventually ;-)

Evening all CT sorry i was on the early train as i was on a course this morning ,then back at the office this afternoon

It has been very warm here I am on early again in the morning but Darlington though it has to be warm again

where did you all go it was a hot and sticky night just getting my act together to go to work will do the shopping after work catch you all later

I'm here!! There was no one around last night, so I spaced out watching tv and playing games on the lappy, Maz!!

What a hot and sticky night, but another beautiful day today :-) :-)

Morning - I'm here now! I've been replying to a PM about some research :-)

It must be less humid down here than it is up there as we both slept well. We keep the bedroom curtains closed during the day with the windows cracked, and the back ones which never get the sun on them open. The front bedroom windows are thrown wide open in the early evening when the sun is off them That way we get a through draft.

Still haven't tackled the Tax Return which will again have to be put off until we/I've been to the village. :-|

Keep cool if you can <3

Morning,

Just had a panic about M.O.T. on our car as tax is due at the end of the month, but luckily it will still be valid (just). Someone has scratched all down the side from wheel arch to wheel arch. Phoned police but because I don't know where and when it happened they wouldn't record it and give me a reference number.

Admin today, but going to do paperwork outside. Credit card company have charged £12 late payment fee, but my bank said the Direct Debit wasn't even requested. Back to credit card company, they didn't know why they hadn't asked for the money, will refund £12 but I have to bear in mind that this is the one and only time they will let me off - even though it's their fault! Going to take my money, or debt rather, elsewhere

You have to watch them like a hawk, CT!! Crafty beggars :-0 :-0

I complained to my credit card company as the paper statement and online statement showed two different dates for payments to be received by. As I always pay online I used the online date which was one day later than the paper statement and they tried to charge me, but didn't get away with it. Needless to say, the statements still show two different dates!! :-D :-D

I am hot, hot, hot. Haven't done anything other than food shopping and hairdressers today, and am now off out in the garden to sit and read :-D :-D :-D

Tax return not done :-( :-( :-( Tsk DET!! :-D :-D :-D

am home

Evening Maz.

Time for you to chill out now. Get those feet up!! No chores tonight :-D :-D

Evening all, too bloomin hot here still. I feel so tired when it is like this and I nodded off for a short while after tea.

Evening LG. I fell asleep this afternoon. I'm off to bed now to see if I can get a good night.

Hope you have a good night <3

I have only just woke up after nodding off again. Nite nite sleep well YG <3

Good morning one and all <3 <3.

Morning all

Hope you all managed to get some sleep last night, and if you didn't, have the opportunity for 40 winks during the day.

BM's g/f is now a Fiancee; she said "Yes" :-D :-D
(the powers of Facebook ;-) )

Most strange I posted a reply and it never appeared on here.

Oh well try again. Congratulations to the lovely news DET. <3

It is good news, isn't it? For once we knew something before his sisters.:-D

I was concerned that she may have turned him down, or wanted to think about it. Apparently before they went away, she'd wanted to discuss 'Where are we going with this relationship'. He probably needed a nudge. ;-)

Now I can put the card in the post :-D

congratulations to BM DET so when is the event or is that it lol ?
we await here the news too i think november time ,
Its very muggy here and overcast am on the sleep shift doing some chores prior to going to work which is a sleep over

Morning everyone.

It was rather dull at 6am but the sun has burnt through. It looks a little hazy, so I'm hoping it won't be as hot as yesterday.

Congratulations to DET's BM and his fiancee. All he needed was a gentle reminder!!

And another possible one later in the year for Maz!! Oooh it's getting exciting on this thread. Number 3??????? :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
