Good morning everyone

The snow which was expected this morning in Gloucester has not come. But it is raining heavily, though I suspect that it is worse in squiggleland. Can anybody say if blue sky still exists because I haven't seen any this year?

Good morning El Loro.  You are about early.  I don't think we are ever going to see any blue sky again; at least that's how it feels at the moment. 

Got to go to the shops this morning and it's pouring with rain!!  Squiggle I hope you escape the snow which looks as though it could be coming your way.

Hope to get back later. 

Morning  Waiting for someone to come and fix my alarm, we had another powercut last night, dont know whats causing it and cant find any news about it.  I hope those of you expecting snow dont get it too bad   Its very cold and frosty here, but no snow, thank goodness

Good morning everyone.  We had a lot of rain in the night but its not too bad now.  On my way down to the post office I saw two trees with blossom on them .  Now admittedly they might be the winter blossoming type but its still very cheering, I am sure we are in for an early spring so here's a little piccie to think about, on its way to you very soon I am sure



         

Good morning everyone on a very cold and frosty morning.
Skylark, I hope you get your alarm fixed - it cracked me up when I read you'd hit it with a hammer.

squiggle, there seems to be a bit of a quirk with your picture in that at present I can't see it
I can see it if I play around

But I think if you click on this link you will be able to see it. If the image doesn't appear that move your pointer to the address bar to the right end of the address shown and press return.

Hi Yogi, glad it gave you a laugh , it just seemed the best way to sort it

Thaks EL all fixed now, there is actually some blue sky overhead now, not much but enough to cheer me up.

My hubby also subscribes to the "if in doubt, gie it a clout" method of fixing things.

Off to do some housework, be back later.

Yes i agree Yogi     Nice pic squiggle x

Which reminded me of this:

Good evening to all my lovely buddies.   Hubby is due home soon!!  Don't know how my weekend will turn out but will catch up with you as and when I can.  Have a good weekend whatever you are doing.  Speak to you all soon. 

Hope I'm not intruding folks.
I was a "ben's buddy", but after the series I allowed my membership to lapse.
I just wanted to say - although I rarely post - that I like your thread.
It is warm and friendly and a nice place.
Warm wishes to you all.

Thanks for that El , great song!     Hi Joyron, hope you have a good weekend with Mr Grumpy, if not i have a hammer if its any good to you   
Hi brisket, of course you are not intruding its an open forum, dont know the last time we mentioned Ben!  Wonder how he is doing? Warm wishes to you too brisket

Very appropriate song, El - Skylark could have it as her theme tune.
Joyron, if Mr grumpy plays up over the weekend, accept Skylark's offer of the hammer.
Brisket, everyone is welcome to join us in here - but you are especially welcome. Come back soon.

Hi Brisket, as others have already said you are more than welcome any time

But just to remind us all

Aww, lovely pic, Squiggle.

Lovely Ben

Goodnight,

Good morning everyone

A bit late this morning for me as I've been reading our PM and a thread.

Good morning El Loro and good morning everyone.Hope you are all well.
There is snow on the ground but it's only a couple of inches.
We are having a new boiler and radiators installed this weekend. Something tells me we ought to have done it in the summer.

Good morning El Loro.  I too have read through and posted a message in our PM.

Lovely to see you Brisket.  You are most welcome here.  We do our best to keep this a happy thread.  Lovely picture of Ben.  Wonder what he's doing this weekend??

Hubby has gone to the boat show so I hope to be around a bit today.  Have a great weekend whatever you are doing. 

Good morning Yogi.    You posted while I was typing.  Hope the radiator and bolier work goes smoothly.  Do you have any of those invaluable halogen heaters to keep you warm while the work is going on?  I wouldn't be without mine now. 

Good morning Joyron. We don't have any halogen heaters but we do a few little fan heaters, so we aren't freezing ATM.
Off to make hubby some breakfast, be back later.

Good morning everyone, oh Yogi what's your timing like? Make sure you snuggle up warm, wear lots of layers and get plenty of these

Hope everyone is well this morning, our PM is proving a lovely haven isn't it? I would really miss it if we didn't have it, anyway hope to catch up later, take care now

I've never been in this thread before, but I clicked the first page because I genuinely cannot remember who Ben was.  

  I googled!  I am more in shock that I forgot him, I loved the Ben and his bumbling faux pas.

Oh Cinds how could you have forgotten the lovely (and yes bumbling ) Ben, look there's a picture ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

ALERT !!!!!!!!!!

Only another 9 posts to go after this one and we will have reached 5,000 posts,

who's going to be the lucky poster??

I bet it will be El Loro!!

I am so ashamed of myself *self-flagellates* 

Is it cheating if I just post 6 smilies in order to get the 5000th post?

Everyone is hovering waiting for the 4999th post to appear!!

Squiggle, please excuse my manners.  I forgot to say hello to you this morning after you posted.    I agree totally about our little haven.  Bet there are lots who would love to know what's said in there

Yes Cinds it would be and I am sure you would never cheat

Oh Joyron you tease

Hubby has just returned home in a really grumpy mood so I probably won't be about anymore today.  It won't be me making the 5000th post that's for sure. 

Good afternoon everyone

squiggle, the picture you posted yesterday morning has been deleted by Photobucket for some strange reason, but I think if anyone wants to look at it, the link I posted after your post presumably still works. I would guess it's something to do with copyright issues.

Joyron, I sympathise with you re Mr Grumpy

I hadn't even realised that we were so close to post number 5000 .

Come on you lot, who is going to go for post No 5000?

Skylark, I think you should lend your hammer to Joyron. It sounds like she is in need of something to help reprogramme Mr Grumpy.

Well, someone has to do it, I was waiting for a couple of hours to let someone else, but here goes





I will remove the autoplay function sometime tomorrow as the above will play everytime you load this page, but as this is a special post I thought I would do something a bit different.

Congratulations EL. I've been waiting for someone else to do it.
