Afternoon All,

Hi to Bridget , Its good to have some one new with new stories,

Just got back from the Chemist , went to collect my prescription, Victoria dropped me off and I walked home, it's all down hill, going home, and all up hill going to the chemist, kills my legs,

Had Matteo this morning while Victoria was at her exercise class, he arrived in a rotten mood and took quite a while to calm down, seemingly was like this on the way from Victoria's house, she said if he carry's on she'll have a headache, it was better that she went ,don't know what!s worse her moaning on and getting annoyed with him or Matteo having a paddy, anyway I sorted him out , put my boots on and my hat and coat and took him for a walk up the street, and within 10mins we were laughing and splashing in puddles,
he then was fine then and we started to played with the farm animals, he probably will drop of to sleep on the way home, and will be nice and happy when he wakes up.

Afternoon Mel and all.

Home alone again, she's gone to the cinema with Carolyn and then I suppose it will be Tesc# and Town.

We have one of those beds that lift from the bottom. The storage space is great. But it's full of handbags, shoes, and all her stuff. Oh and a bit of spare bedding.

The plumber chap has been back this morning. There was a load of old copper pipe laying around up in the loft. So it was agreed if he took down the old water tank and the frame it sat on, he could have the copper pipe. He was here for two hours, so I think I got the best part of that deal. I have now got a load of sawn 3" x 2" timber to find a place for. He said the loft is a lot colder now the pipes are all lagged .

Thanks for your card MEL and our KIM from Australia. They arrived today.

It's been miserly here this morning and very overcast. The forecast said it would be SUNSHINE WRONG AGAIN !!!!

Fillet steak for madam tonight, with a nice pepper sauce, onions, mushrooms in a garlic sauce, baby potatoes with some peas. I'm having a lamb steak, with veg. and potatoes. Still a load of rice pudding to finish of as well. So we won't go hungry.

My HOG is still around feeding like a HORSE. When should he go to sleep MEL ???

"HOG HOSTEL" HOG HOTEL" "PRICKLES PARLOUR" "HOGS HALFWAY HOUSE" "HUNGRY HOGS REST" I will try to think of a few more Mel.

Where is everyone. OUT SHOPPING ???
I just POSTED THIS And up came the error page, I went back with the arrow, and ended up with the wide page and my posting in a little box, so hope it goes through.
WHAT IS GOING ON ???

Morning Fiona, Didn't see you had posted. Blow me the page has gone small again !!!

Hav'nt cought up yet with your posts.

Love your decs Fiona. They look really good and different.

Dentist said it was her fault and she should have seen that they did'nt meet up. I now have three more appointments to have more impressions taken starting Jan 2nd. What a blimmin nuisance :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Well I don't know where today went.I did a bit of shopping at Tes**,came home,Chris went out for lunch with a friend ,Fitz came here for a while .I had a couple of pasties in the fridge so we had them .Then I sorted out a bit of washing ,nipped to a neighbour who had one of my parcels delivered to her and that is about it.So not a lot done today.

It has been so cold though.This morning when we had that horrible heavy drizzly stuff it was almost like there was ice in it.
Oh Mel that is bad of your Dentist not to have checked properly that your teeth were all fitting together properly.,and now you have to go through it all again :-S :-S

Frank I think if I had one of those lift up beds mine would be full of handbags etc too LOL.I have to work out now where all my things (not clothes) are going to go .That will take some time :-S

Oh Mel, How on earth didn't she see that. I thought it would stand OUT a mile. Well at least it will only be impressions, and a new set of teeth. NO MORE to be extracted. :-D :-D :-D :-D KEEP YOUR CHIN UP ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Ros is back from the cinema, she said she slept through most of the film. It was more for children "Paddington" but Carolyn wanted to see it.

We bought a Birthday cake for Carolyn's birthday, but was so full up we didn't cut it on Wednesday. She bought some round today which we just had with a cuppa. THREE CHOCHOLATE CAKE. You wouldn't want much of that in one sitting, Well I wouldn't !!!!

While she was out I had a delivery of another little present for her. So was able after a fight with the BLOO## Selotape to get it wrapped and put away.

Our neighbour also called round to invite us to coffee next Tuesday, with some of our other neighbours. We will have to be late as I have my friend from BEN coming at 10.30 am.

Off to get dinner now, so see you later.

Thats three of you now that have given me names for down the garden where the hog boxes are. Keep them coming please?

No Gill for a couple of days. Hope everything is alright.

Had my first card from Kim today too Frank.

I should have said the parcel that was delivered to my neighbour by mistake contained 2 Bikini Bottoms(for Hannah).My neighbour just assumed it was a package for her son...He would have got a shock if he opened it :-D :-D :-D.So would his Mum LOL

Fiona I saw your lovely baubles over your mirror on FB .They look so pretty hanging there.
Fitz was in a funny mood today .A bit of a misery guts :-S.He saw my big pile of cards ready to post and said he can't bring himself to write all his as he finds it a chore and never knows what to write in them.I told him not be such a grump and just get on with it.The longer he puts it off the worse it will be.He was just a right old Moaning Minnie.
For once I was glad when he went home lol
Chris is waiting for James to get home (about 7) to help get the last parts of the final wardrobe upstairs.Then after James has had his dinner he is off down to Chislehurst
to see Jess for the weekend.

Looks like are off to Paris at the end of April .Chris says he fancies going back there.So I think we might just book the same Hotel as last time as we liked that and it was just in a perfect position for getting around.

Evening all,

I see we're all stretched out again :-D
I wonder if it's when we put a link up, like the one Ann put on for the bed ?

Been a funny old day, dull this morning and then a little sun late this afternoon ,but it's really cold out there .

What a nuisance having to have more impressions for more new teeth Mel, you would have thought the dentist would have checked on the bite , they must be most uncomfortable to wear .

Hubby is fitting our new front door tomorrow , so we will be getting all the cold in ,i'll have to make sure i close all the doors to keep any heat in .

Then Sunday we're all off to Thursford to see Santa ,also it's Katie's birthday she will be 5 ,she keeps asking DIL "how many more days to my birthday" :-D
So the weekend will be a busy one for us.

How about Tiggywinkles Terrace :-D

Posh Prickles Hotel

Mandy you better get your Woodburner going early tomorrow then if the door is going to be off for a while.I looks like its another cold day .

I find if I run my cursor over our pics at the side they go back to normal but then back to stretched out again...It's weird :-S

I was so pleased when next door got rid of all their chickens(as I didn't think they looked after them)...well today my heart sank when I saw 2 new hens in the horrible manky wooden thing :-(.It must be falling to bits and never cleaned .I feel very sorry for the two new inmates.

O dear Jane not more chickens in bedlam.

I don't want to think about the poor birds Mel.Trouble is when I look out of my bedroom window I will see them....My neighbours need their bumps feeling. :-S
I wonder if they might be feeding them up for Christmas!!!!!!

I just spoke to my sister and she told me that her S I L (Rachels OH) has won £28,000 on some horse betting thing.They will now be able to pay off what they owe on mortgage payments, credit cards etc.That is some win :-D Hopefully they will be straight again now.
James has just gone.So just us two old fogeys here now for the weekend :-D. :-S

Wow what a nice pre Christmas present for Rachael and her oh. I hope they spend it wisely.

Meant to say could Ann pllease delete that link which may help with the stretching of the page. I've not had the stretched page at all lately.

We had a bed with the four draws before we bought the new bedroom furniture. I could'nt use the top two drawers either because of the bedside cabinets. Oh burnt the bed but kept the drawers.

Morning all and evening Kim,

Suns out here and I am not complaining there's a few whitey grey clouds way off in the sky to the north.

Have to get the ring down the church today and go to the shop for my paper. Oh is playing with his new toys he bought, a router and his scroll saw in the caravan..... If he get cold he can turn the gas fire on in there and also with the scroll saw it must'nt get wet or damp from the drips off the garage roof when it's cold.

O there is chicken cleaning out today and I have to moss wreaths.

Morning All, Evening Kim.

Cold today and very wet,

Thanks to Kim & Mel for christmas cards <3 <3

We are waiting for a parcel from Virgin, it is suppose to come today, I haven't a clue what it is ( OH job ) I have been told it will make the broadband quicker and you can record 3 TV programs at once.
all I know is we will be throwing one black box away from under the TV and replacing it with the new one, :-S :-S

So I had to go into town to collect a order from m&s , post some christmas cards, and get some herbal tea for me, Hopefully the parcel from Virgin will come and we can go and do our weekly food shop.

Afternoon all,

I have been out walking this morning delivering Xmas cards to the locals, Ros has just gone off to do some more. The rest are on their MERRY WAY through the post.

Very cold frosty morning and the sun is so bright, you can hardly see where you are going !!!

I see on the weather report that Scotland and Northern Ireland have the rain, poor Fiona. Are you getting any yet Mel, because it's COMING. !!!

I bet you will be glad to get that last wardrobe upstairs and sorted Jane. It's not like Fitz be moody is it ??? I'm lucky Ros does most of the cards, and all the present wrapping. Just leaves me to do you lot and Ros's presents.

Off to the pub now for the lunchtime match. See you later.

Hi all

Thanks Mel for the Christmas card it arrived yesterday Sandra was pleased with the stickers, she makes Christmas cards and loves stickers so was made up with them.

Sandra's not been well for the last few days which is why I've not been online. I've been looking after her while trying to keep on top of everything I need to do for Christmas. Her dad and I had the same bug a few weeks ago, it's like flu but with a dry cough and sort throat, so she's not been sleeping very well. Hopefully it won't last long and she'll be feeling better soon.

I've just been catching up on your posts and noticed everyone talking about the beds with the draws in them and how you can't use the draws against the bedside cabinets. I had the same problem so took all the draws out which meant I could use the whole space underneath. I have a valance sheet so that covered the sides of the bed so nothing underneath could be seen. It saved us having to buy a new bed as they're not cheap, we then just changed the mattress and headboard and bought some new bedding.

I hope it's not to cold for you Mandy and your front door is quickly sorted.

Your bedroom should be finished soon Jane, I bet you can't wait for it all to be over with all the problems you've had. Hopefully not long now and then you'll be straight.

I'm off the make some veg soup for Sandra now she can't eat much with her throat being so sore, so hopefully this will fill her up and not hurt her throat to much.

BBL

That should slide down ok for Sandra, hope she feels better soon.

Gill did the card arrive witha sticker on the front? you could most probably take that one off the envelope too.

Afternoon All

I have just got in from having a mosey around a couple of he garden centres .Oh my there are so many excited children :-D.Some were queueing to see Father Christmas in the Grotto,and others haring around looking at all the lights and decorations.There was a cat in Bosworths looking all bemused lol.I think it actually lives there but it probably was wondering what on earth was going on.I bought a few new decorations for my tree.Nearly had a fit when i came to pay for them :-0.They soon add up don't they.The sun is so dangerous for driving today.I was nearly blinded several times :-S
The frost on the pavement outside our house and along the road is still white and I had to scrape my car windows at mid-day !!

Gill we are almost there now.We just need to wipe out all the insides of the wardrobes and drawers and then we can put our clothes in.Then hopefully on tuesday the curtains will be fitted and then that will be it :-D :-D
Oh poor Sandra.There is nothing worse than a nasty sore throat and not being able to swallow properly.You know what it is going to be like each time you have to make a swallow.I hope she will soon be feeling much better.Better to get it now though rather than at Christmas.I think there are a lot of bugs going around at the moment.

I posted most of my cards ,I still have a few left to do .But I ran out so need to buy 1 more pack.
Well I have got nothing done here today so better look willing and see if I can help out upstairs.
BBL

Sky has turned grey here and it is colder....................................

Done the advent ring and put the candles in it, went to turn the lights off in the church and looked over to the font to see 5 candles that had been put out for me to put in the ring. 4 red ones and a white one which had been used before so I left mine in it.
