Is it still snowing Syl?

The thing is that every country in the world is set up for snow....except the UK...everything stops!

My SIL in Switzerland has the ski chalet and to get to it.....is near death in good weather...but the Swiss have it sorted. The road is cleared three times a day and if it wasnt......you wouldnt get there

I have been known to sit up from crossed legs late into the night....but I woudnt try it after 10pm on Fridays ;-)

Hi Jules....nice to see you about <3

Hello all,

Just popped in to see how you are all doing!

Ginns - I can stand up from sitting crossed legged too but I still can't do sit-ups !!! ;-) :-D

Nice to see you Laines ! Xxx

Have been a bit 'not very well' for the past few days and also been busy with grandchildren before that so that's why I haven't been on very much.

Will be back to pester you all properly very soon :-D <3

I thought I would watch some TV tonight for about the 3rd time in the past 3 years - I rather fancied watching that new serial on BBC1 - Call the Midwife. It sounds quite interesting but is probably rubbish. Anyway, we will see. I think it is set around the early 1950's in London and is supposed to be an insight into social history of the time!!!.... Ooooerrrhhh !

It starts at 8.00 .

See you all later,

Hi Julie,

If a message has been read (or deleted presumably), then there is just a blank space for some reason :-S Must be confusing for new members.


Gins.....bet you can't get up cross legged from a sitting position on a Friday night :-P


So you're up and about now Sylvs :-D

Julie

Hi

just another little bug in the system!

Hi all
xxx


another 1-2 cm of snow overnight. Looked lovely in the early morning sun!

Sun is still shining ............. but I'm not going out!


More snow is in the forecast for every day through Wednesday ......... I have to go to the special physio on Tuesday, so am hoping that is not the day that we get "real" snow instead of just flurries

Hi all

I haven't been on for a bit & a shake so was now wondering if anyone knew how to tell if a message has been read, as i see the Purple enverlope has gone missing.

Hope all is well with you all :-)

Hey Laines


I can stand up from a crossed leg postition....still :-D

So, it was YOU who ate the left over soup...I was going back for that later today :-|

Cynthia - you are VERY naughty!!!!

Ginns - well done with the weight loss [I have to agree with Cyns though cos I havent been a size 10 since I was about 8 yrs!!!]

Sylvia - enjoy the time on your own - it wont last for long enough [when I get time on my own I am like a child in a sweet shop and spend SOOO much time thinking what I will or wont do - that before I know it the time has gone!!! lol]
ps/ you are a wonderful cook .... that butternut squash soup was to die for!!!

Dea - Ginns is correct - you should never try a sit-up with your legs straight - they should be bent at the knee with your feet on the floor!! [I have always had trouble doing them too!] + you should always pull your stomach in before you attempt the sit-up!!!

I am glad to hear that you are all well - I am still playing with my Kindle and waiting to see if I have won any more prizes!!! Notification of prizes is until the 20th!!!

I havent got my book yet [as it went back to the post office as no-one in when the postman delivered!!! if you dont have transport to get to the sorting office what are you supposed to do!!!] but my son is to pick it up tomorrow for me. xxx

I am just peeping at what you lot are up to !........ :-D

I dont like Christmas pud, or many other puds really.....now if you'd had cheese and biscuits....arghhhhhh

Where is everyone else today?

Just had some Christmas pudding with cream.........licks lips....yummy. Don't even own bathroom scales.....!


Sherlock later...........really enjoyed that series.

What a good day today has been!

Went and bought new office desk and chair....half price sale

Then ordered a nice comfy leather chair for the office, then orf to Sainsburys

Spag bol on the hob, come dine on the tv....bliss :-D


Lets hope things are just as good when I get weighed tomorrow :-0
