Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here at present but afternoon should be sunny.

 

Yogi, I hope you were able to catch up on your sleep

 

A get well for Moonie

 

I have one of those exciting accountancy courses to go to this afternoon It will be one of those where much will be things I already know or don't need to know but there may be some usful bits.

Good morning everyone.

Weather is very overcast, and there have been a few spots of rain.

El, I did sleep better last night, thank you. I hope your course is more exciting than you anticipate, and you don't .

 

I'm off to the nurse for bloods etc and my flu jab. It seems no time at all since I had the last one, this year seems to have flown past.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Yogi good luck with your jab I hope it comes with a treat

Tonight's bake off is pastry apparently, so I've bought myself a chocolate eclair

Thanks Summer. I don't mind needles, so no I'll be nice and relaxed today.

I like a nice chocolate eclair. I might buy a couple on the way home from the Health Centre - one for Mr Yogi and one for me.

A chocolate eclair sounds like a plan Summer.  I hope the judges aren't horrible to anyone tonight.

I think I might eat your share of cream cakes, El.

I won't tell anyone

 You're a good friend.

Hope El's had a good kip       .

 

Regards to moonie      and I hope squiggs and Sweet are having a good day   

Afternoon Velvet.

 

I found some soda scones in a nearby Asda. You need to get in early in the morning though, as they disappear fast.

I'm back from the course. It was done in the form of a series of questions on various accounting technical queries where we had a moment or so to think how we might answer before the lecturer told us the answers. So it was done in a way which made us have to think reducing the risk of nodding off.

 

It wouldn't surprise ne if the polls are way out, and it's quite possible that people have been thinking they would vote one way in the days and weeks before tomorrow and then at the last moment change their minds.

Do you think the teaching style was tactical, to keep you awake?

So long as those who reconsider, vote no on the day, I'll be a happy bunny.

Meanwhile, very nice day off work; mr summer helped me do a good chunk of housework, I baked a cake, popped to my accountants, walked bramble in a beautiful place, sewed christmas stockings, skyped my mum, made a few Xmas cards and scoffed my eclair whilst watching the bake off!

El I hope your course went well, is there anything new?

Squiggle, I bought the chrustmas cookie club today, it's coming up to that time of year so thought I'd get on it

Velvet, good luck for tomorrow too, I hope all's well in your life

Leaving goodnight and get well hugs for absent friends
~Sparkling Summer~

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here, generally dry but may rain later.

 

A get well for Moonie..

 

Summer, yesterday's course was based on technical queries on accounting matters which accountants had been asking about.

Question 6 was the only one which might amuse you - A director of a company has a 3 year old son who has lent the company ÂĢ1,000. Are there any disclosure requirements in the accounts?

 

Yogi, I hope you have a nice day with PB and that you are able to sleep tonight unless you decide to be glued to the television screen

My inclination would be either to make a decision to watch the proceedings throoughout the night or to decide not to start watching at all and go to bed as normal knowing that the overall result will probably not be announced until 6.30 tomorrow morning at the earliest.

 

If I started watching and then went to bed then it would be more on my mind and keep me awake.

On the radio news this morning they said that there's no exit poll so the media will just be speculating until the actual results start being announced which will be quite some hours after voting stops. It's not like the general election when results start trickling in fairly quickly as it's being done by the 32 local authority areas rather than by the individual councils so will take longer for the results to emerge.

Good advice, El.

I know I'll never get to sleep, so I might as well prepare to stay awake until I know the result.

Good morning everyone.  I hope you have a great day with PB Yogi, it will take your mind off things

 

I would have thought they wouldn't have a result until later in the day with so many Scottish islands, to get all those votes in will surely take some time?

 

Summer I have my stock of Christmas books ready, I hope you enjoy yours.

 

That was an interesting question EL, tries to imagine the size of that little boy's piggy bank
