Hi and bye Sweet and Yogi. Sleep well and have sweet dreams both  

Hi moonie
I'm in the darnie thread if you're still up

Hi Sweet, I am in the Crib 

Hope they have giraffes!

Not yet  

I guess you have churchilled Sweet, so nite nite, sleep well and have sweet dreams  

Good morning everyone

Another cloudy day here.

Good morning everyone.

Sky is grey and threatening to rain.

Need to nip out to the shops - hopefully between showers!

El, don't let Baz see that giraffe pic!

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning EL and everyone, a lovely picture to start the morning EL.

Dry and cloudy here and a quiet day planned, what's everyone else up to today?

Enjoy your day everyone

You will probably hear that the main hospitals in my area have declared a major incident. It's due to a flood of patients at the A&E departments. The result is a huge backlog of dealing with the non-urgent cases. They reckon that 30% of incoming patients have non-urgent ailments and those people should be using the NHS 111 phone number rather than going to A&E.

Lubs him 

Baz will never forgive me

 She'll put you on the naughty step.

Morning Moonie.

Poor Baz was she frightened by a giraffe when she was little?  The situation at your local hospital sounds a bit worrying EL, backlog from Christmas or something else?

Squiggle, the local hospital announcment was as a result of the number of patients over the weekend at A&E so it doesn't seem to be related to Christmas or the New Year. I think the announcment may have been made to be able to get more emergency cover and also to try to encourage those with non-urgent ailments not to just go to A&E.

Hi Yogi and Buddies 

Yogi, the norty step has under-step heating so it's not to bad now  

 That's good, we won't get chilblains now.

What a plonker.

Hi Velvet and Summer, I hope you are both bearing up?

Or anything else   

 Indeed!

 Have a nice time when you get there.

That made me laugh, there are one or two people i could welcome here for a bath and quietly drop an electric fire in..... 
Anyway, hi and thanks for your good wishes, still a bit under the weather, its been a bad one, but on the mend, still sneezing my head off tho...
Had some soup today and swallowing every Vitamin known to man. Hope you all well. 
Take care and have a nice evening 

I'm sure you wouldn't really but I am glad you're feeling a bit better.  There's some bad bugs around this year

Glad you are on the mend, Skylark. I hope you are taking good care of yourself.

Got to sign out early tonight, got some paperwork to catch up with before Broadchurch starts. Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone.

Hugs for the night owls.

 Velvet, and a very Happy New year to you too x
Oh well squiggle, i can dream 
Enjoy Broadchurch , Yogi, not my thing. I adore David Tenant, cant be doing with that Olivia person, and cant stomach the storyline . Each to their own , 
School tomorrow, yipee, all sorted   xx

Good morning everyone

Fairly cloudy here at present but forecast is sunnier later today.

Yogi, I hope you have a good day with PB and your visitors

Skylark, I hope your explosive cold eases fast

Summer, I'm back to working and trying to get those clients who leave things to the last moment to let me have their records so that I can do their return by the 31st. I don't have a huge amount of work to do but the later they leave it the less time I have left to get it done.

Interesting article today about the common cold:

Keep your nose warm and avoid cold air whilst infected.
