General Chat

They have stopped now. Probably some youths that have been letting them off early like they do near Bonfire Night. At least the cats haven't noticed tonight.

I don't think there have been any here YET!!!!. I have a black cat sitting right next to my ear purring very Loudly :-D

My fur has settled down now, until I make a move for bed!! Then mayhem will start!!

I'm just finishing a cuppa then I'm off. It's late for me, but I had a lay in this morning!!

Sleep well LG. I might catch you tomorrow if you're not out celebrating! ;-) <3

Nite nite YG sleepwell <3

Nite nite YG sleepwell <3

I can't believe I am on here first! Where is everyone?? It isn't even early!! :-D

Is everyone busy preparing for the party >>>>>>> Yeah :-D :-D :-D

Morning YG. I am preparing to get my brain and old bones working :-D

morning all well i am here just getting a shopping list together A is playing footy so it will be a late shop when everyone else is out lol

Morning Maz. I am still trying to get myself up and running :-D

Morning LG & Maz. I nipped off to do a couple of jobs!

I'm glad someone else needs to get their brain in gear apart from me. Mine feels totally dormant at the moment and the joints too :-D

Don't really have much to do today apart from some ironing (which I hate!) I need to put some holiday pics on a cd and post off to Australia, so I might occupy myself with that for a while later on.

So it's not just us, having a slow start to the day? OH is still in bed, as we both went there later than normal. We got stuck watching re-runs of CSI - lol And I've been emailing my BFFE. We've known each other since we were 7, and OH has known her OH since they were 11/12. Do the math - lol.

By my reckoning, it out to be 2012 in Aunty's home city at about 1330 our time, so Happy New Year to you!!

Hope you have managed to sort out the new electronic stuff YG - you are certainly taking advantage of the sales and bring yourself into the 21st Century! And why not, as there is only you to please :-D

We went to the shopping center yesterday for our coffee, and to look round the sales. OH picked up a half priced wand blender, and I a pair of trousers and a skirt. I'd stood on the scales, and the scales screamed :-0 This year there is going to be a concentrated effort to shift those pounds, just so I can fit into my clothes, if nothing else.

We might pop out to the farm shop for eggs and a lettuce, but other than that. we'll stay in. The major post Christmas food shop is scheduled for Tuesday, when hopefully, things will return to normal.

Hi everyone, just called in to wish you all a Happy Healthy New Year......... and may all of your troubles be little ones.

I've just heard some fireworks going off......... someone must be keen to get the party started............. it's only 4.39!!!

Love the avatar Pauline!! You don't half find some good ones!!

Well, I've finally got the radio to auto tune but messing around with the aerial wires is driving me mad and I still can't get one of the stations that I want. I have made arrangements for an aerial fitter to call next week and quote for supplying a DAB aerial and possible a new tv aerial. My existing one is in the loft and gives a good picture, but I'm not sure whether it will be any good when I buy a new tv. If I need a new one I might as well have it all done together, otherwise I will just have a radio aerial installed :-( :-(

A quiet evening for me. Not sure yet whether I will stay up. The tv programme isn't great, so it depends whether I can stay awake!!

evening all we are trying to stay awake here lol
All the best everyone

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL. <3.

Change of Avitar for me tomorrow methinks.

Morning all. Sleepless night here last night. Temperature hovered in the high twenties into the thirties for the whole night. Some time around midnight there must have been celebrations going on for some obscure reason. The noise from fireworks was unbl**dybelievable!! I had to sit and hold Spot's paw until the worst of it was over.

The programs on TV were cr*p, and repeated cr*p at that.

Welcome to the new year. Not making any resolutions, that way I won't have to keep any. OH is in his festive mood!! Elastic up the catapult, I'm coming over!!

Rant over.

It would be the best year ever if you were really coming over Aunty!! :-D :-D

Watched the New Year celebrations from Sydney on the news. Very impressive ;-)

Ours are supposed to be good tonight, to welcome in the year of the Olympic Games in London. I'll make judgement later!!

Tv here is pretty cr*p as well. Thought it was just in the UK that we had so many repeats that had only been on the previous night or week!! :-D

Sounds much the same as over here (apart from the high temperatures).

TV is rubbish, so has been turned off, various bangs going on outside, but that may be people not bothering to close their car doors quietly. And we've still over 2 hours to go. The televised pyrotechnics from the London Eye will probably be a let down compared to everyone else's - Boris Johnson (Mayor of London ) is trying to whip up enthusiasm for the 'magnificent year' London will have with the Olympics coming in 2012.

If your OH's festive mood is of the Bah Humbug variety, send him over so you can have peace at home...........or pack him off on another fishing trip.

Aunty's OH can come over to me as I am feeling Bah Humbug tonight :-P

Don't think I will be staying up. I'm struggling now to keep my eyes open.

If you take your self off, put ear plugs in case people decide to let of fireworks. Sleep well if you can, and awake refreshed at the start of a brand new year.

OH is now trying to find something half decent to watch, and has settled on a repeat of Poirot - lol

LG sounds as if she is the only person with bounce!
