I hope so, too.

Believe me El Loro, it would need to be beyond simple for me to understand it.

And me

Me three!!!

Me four !!!
I've no idea what I'm doing much of the time

Shall we re-name the thread The Dafties do you think?

We could, but that could be inviting some silly comments from other users, but what do others think?

Not sure we should "go public" on this one, Squiggle.
We have our reputations to consider.

I was joking!  We may be daft, we may know we are daft but we must try to convince everyone else that we are grown up and sensible!!

I know - so was I.

But now I'm Nosmo King (yes, that ancient one )

squiggle, I was taking you extremely seriously as I take every post ever posted on this forum very seriously. I read them several times over, then ponder over them for a long time, and then if appropriate make a very serious reply. Then I take another tablet

Yes yes yes EL me too, at that point I lie down in a darkened room with a wet flannel on my forehead

I've seen the BBC news now so have seen what's happened in South Cornwall. Per the BBC: Bodmin, Luxulyan, Lostwithiel, Mevagissey, Par, St Austell, St Blazey and St Blazey Gate have been badly affected.

From what I've read, at least 250 properties around this area have been flooded. At present the main concern seems to be whether the rising tide will destroy a bridge at Lostwithiel.

At least, squiggle, you're not in the worst affected area. Of course for me, this brings back memories of July 2007 when after over 5 inches of rain in 16 hours over Gloucestershire and to the north, when the flood waters in the Severn and the Avon (the one that runs through Gloucestershire) met at Tewkesbury, the result was very serious. Gloucester is only a few miles south of Tewkesbury, and the combined rivers run through it. The water treatment works are at the river in Tewkesbury, and the flood waters swamped those works meaning that for a few weeks we were without tap water. And at Gloucester, the main electricity generating station is close to the river. I know that the flood water got within half an inch of knocking that station out. If that had happened, then that would have resulted in the biggest mass evacuation since the Blitz. And of course hundreds of homes were flooded - I personally know 20 people locally who were flooded. It took at least a year for people to be able to move back in their houses, and for some it was more like 2 years.

Hi all, oh get me all in colour and italics !   Its freezzzzing here and very windy. Just back from some Christmas shopping...have to make a start sometime! 

Oh no colour came out on that one, think its ok this time!  Hope you all well x

I'm very well, thank you, Skylark

Hi El, we need some colour in these cold bleak days

We do indeed

You are showing off now El

Have to get off now, hopefully be back later xx

Bye Skylark!


I have one word to say  FINISHED!!!!!

Well done, squiggle - you must be relieved - and you did it with a good couple of days to spare.

Thanks EL I am shattered.  3 days of solid hard work, I even forgot to drink my lunchtime cuppa, it went cold

Well done Squiggle.  NEVER had any doubts that you would complete your task.

Seems to have been lots going on in here today that I have not been party too.  Sorry I've missed out (story of my life really)!!!   Just carry on without me.

 Probably won't be back later but will, hopefully, catch up with you all tomorrow.

Well done squiggle, feel very proud! Joyron...you are entitled to your opinions like the rest of us      I am looking forward to "The Wedding"  getting my hat ready for my invite

Evening all.
Skylark, haven't seen you for a wee while.
Squiggle, congratulations on a job well done. I bet you are glad it's finished.

Hi Yogi, been busy! Nice to see you, have you got things sorted?

Hi Skylark, sorry I took so long to reply (my mum phoned).
Remind me please, have I got what sorted? My memory ain't what it used to be.

reminder for Yogi , sorry was reading back, keeping up myself

Ah I see. Yes thanks, the fusebox was fitted with no problems at all.
Last Christmas Eve, all of the downstairs ceiling lights went out and we discovered the fusebox was on it's last legs, so this was hubby finally getting round to having it replaced. I hasten to add, we had a qualified electrician do the work - hubby would have blown up the house, if he had tried.

I sigh

How are things with you, are your family okay?
What about your friends who'd been staying with you, have they got their house sorted out yet?

Yes thanks Yogi, they are back at home. Been painting my son,s room. He is a Hibee but wanted his room blue  My grandaughter banged her head and been in hospital overnight, but she is fine. I am off work this week, so catching up with stuff xx

Sorry your wee granddaughter has been in the wars but I'm glad she's alright.
My eldest needed a season ticket for A&E when he was young - if he wasn't falling downstairs and getting stitches in his head, he was getting whacked with a hockey stick (accidentally) and getting a broken nose, or breaking his arm when he fell awkwardly during a basketball game. Thankfully, he's no longer sporty.
Has your son been helping to decorate his room, or have you been doing it all yourself?

Aw i know how you feel Yogi. No, son has only gave orders! But he is good at cleaning when he has too!  I moved the computer and had to untangle all the wires. The wires dont move so why were they all twisted? Found 2 quid under his bed along with socks, a dog biscuit, and a dummy! Make of that as you will

Off for a bath before The Apprentice starts, bye for now.

How did he explain that one?

We shall see

Bye xxx

That is so funny, what an odd collection.

Off to my bed now, nice not to have any CD burning to do in the morning, speak to you all tomorrow.
