Rita

maddie i carnt remember the last time i want oxford street

It is pouring of rain now , The electrician came to do the hall lights and safety lights this morning , as our estate Manager is off to Poland for two weeks. she left for her second job earlier than usual before the guy finished, he cleared off two hours after her and has left all the lights on. it is like the fourth of July. no idea how to trun them off ?

Glad you managed a quick shop in Oxford Street Maddie I expect it will be packed from tomorrow onwards.

Rita

just a quick dash in before I go off to work.

Well I set the alarm earlier than usual, and got out as dawn broke [yeh right]

However, Oxford Street was quite empty. I knew exactly where I was going, and got in, got it, got home.

So now that is all the pressies done. I know, I am not organised. There dont seem to be enough hours in the day.

So now it is just the veg, dairy and bread that I need to pick up.

I will probably get veg and bread on Wednesday, and get Kevin to pick up some milk on Friday.

Then batton down the hatches, and not move for two days, apart from taking the dog for a wee wee. lol

Pauline, I feel very sorry for you. Have you dried off yet. Dont stand still you will get a scarf draped around your neck and a pipe stuck in your mouth.

Pleased you are feeling a bit better Rita. Just keep warm and stay indoors.

The snow is heading south, so our trip on Saturday may have to be postponed.

Ah well. Better get myself changed.

Maybe see you all later.

Morning all.
I feel better than I did yesterday . didnt have the whisky had hot lemon with honey and two tablets. my cold is in my head now and I have given it to my son this awful flu virus what a thing to pass onto him ?
The man in the flat above went to the chemist this mornin, to collect my tablets, he was going there to collect his wifes. when he came back and gave me the packet with my tablet. I had a little note from my doctor and also a blood test form for 4 weeks time.
so I dont have to go out today.

Stephen sorry to hear about your briefcase being stolen people are so light fingered these days,they dont stop at stealing anything.
If you had nothing of value in it they might dump it in a waste bin so you could get it back.? My children brought me briefcases in the past as presents but they always got them embossed with my initials RGD incase it was stolen .they thought it could be reconised easily.

Pauline so you have snow again .? I thought you might watching the forcast last night on TV. parts of Scotland were badly hit as well.
we have mild weather at the moment but expect a big freeze soon.

Morning Catherine hope you have a good day? and thanks for your concern about our health and hope you dont get it.. so many people are getting this cold virus .perhaps it is only the oldies like me ?
no I forgot Shelly had it ?

1964 I had been married 14 years then and had three children Lol

Morning everyone.

Our snow's back!!!

Most of the ice had gone from the roads, but now it's covered in snow again. We have a white lawn.

Not too deep at the moment but it's been coming down since about 7am.

I'm going out today for my Christmas lunch with the people from the college .............even if I have to walk there in my wellies and woolly hat.

On second thoughts I'll drive, it only takes about 15 minutes in the car.

I went out to put cards in the doors of my neighbours and came back looking like a snowman.


Edit: Mo, my niece seems to be OK, she's been told she can start back at work in January.

Glad the photo came out OK Rita.

I'm as young as my tongue but a little older than some of my teeth.

morning all

just woundering what i should do with my self today

cath your younger than me only just lol

Morning all
Maddie I was in the year above you at school. It was also the year my youngest brother was born. Oh I remeber it well. Stockings with suspender belts, no tights yet they were too expensive. I think I was still wearing socks for school too. Pinafore dress or a 6-gored skirt, definately no trousers. The year before when I started at the grammar school there were several boys who started in short trousers !!!! their poor mothers had to go out and buy long trousers very quickly.
Today is busy, lunch at a friends house to exchange Christmas presents. Home to cook a meal for my brother in law and his wife before going to a concert in Farnham with Steve Hackett who used to be in Genesis.

Well have a good day everyone

Hope you are a bit better today Rita

Linda :o) XxX

Morning All.

Black and raining, but will i let that hold me down, NO.

Gotta get out and get the last of the Chrissy presents before work today.

Lor, that was a miserable posting from me last night, I apologise.

Hope Linda's parents are more comfortable, and Rita is feeling a little better this morning.

Keep well and warm everyone.

Morning All

Steals the cups from Jean.....(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?\_/?\_/?\_/?\_/?

Tea or Coffee

Porridge or Cereals. Eggs, Bacon, Tomatoes, Sausage, Hash Browns

Get tore in !

I have GREEN GRASS in my gardens. This is the first I've seen it since 28th November when the snow started.

Temperature is well up just now at 6C. Had some rain this morning. Still loads of hard packed Ice and snow lying on roads and pavements. Also great mounds of snow where folks have shovelled their way out and also where the Council Snow Ploughs dumped it.

The Councils say they are ready for the next onslaught of Snow. And the band played believe it if you will. We'll wait and see if they are.

Trouble comes in trees.....I've had them. Two you know about. The third happened yesterday.

My briefcase got stolen........from inside a Church Hall.

Loads of notes and paperwork that I rely on. Nothing of any monetary value. But what a nuisance.

Hey Ho ! Off I go.

Have a good day ya all !

Good night everyone, hope you sleep well.
Mo, thank you for getting the cups ready for breakfast,
a big help that.
Have had a lovely day, had Scarlett from 8.30 this morning till 8 tonight, am knackered now, ooops sorry for language.
Rita, I do hope you will soon be feeling better, if not maybe a call to your Doctor would be a good idea.
Maddy, hope you are feeling better.
Please take care and stay safe everyone.
Jean xx

Goodnight from me as well,

Cath xx

I will say goodnight one and all.

I will also get the cups ready for our Jean for in the morning.
