Exactly I think when they're your constant companion, then you do know each other very well. Sometimes people think I'm nuts because I'll predict what she wants or is about to do, but I always prove myself right

What are you doing tomorrow yogi? I'm not a Valentine's fan, but I'll get some food in for tea for us

hi all  never had the nerve to join you in this...because i didnt know if I was allowed without a pasword

just saying hello

 I know exactly what you mean.

 

We don't really 'do' Valentine's Day, and we might have middle son and DiL for tea, as well as PB.

 You're very welcome and no passwork required!

Come in and join us whenever you want.

thanks Yogi 

 Have the CDWM shows been on too early for you recently?

Hi amythist hehe- I entered in here like that one day, a few years ago and never left because they're so nice
Have you had a nice day?

yes thanks...its been an active one till now 

That's it Summer, don't let on we locked you in the cupboard and wouldn't let you leave.

 Ive been Mum's taxi at that time lately

 right thats it I'mleaving

You have my sympathy. I used to say I was going to get one of those big neon TAXI signs and put it on my car roof.

 You can't, you're locked in a cupboard!

 wish i could charge

The cupboard has cake inside

 I would have been a millionaire if I'd charged mine.

 

Nowadays they all drive and have their own cars - yipeee!

 And pancakes.

Calorie free too!

Well I've dipped my toe in and hopefully my cupboard door is open 

see you soon lubblies off to bed

Come back any time, you're always welcome.

Which is just as well for us.

Sweet dreams Amythist, pop in anytime

Yogi I've found the perfect night owl

I'm nodding fast so will wish you sweet dreams yogi, I can't wait to hear what PB is up to this week

I'm going to get off too, Summer. 

I need to go check what time PB is arriving tomorrow - hope it's not too early!

Goodnight and sweet dreams.

Hugs for the night owls.

awww so sorry to miss you

night yogi and summer

Nite nite, sleep well and sweet dreams lovely peeps  

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is dry and not too cold.

 

Preparing for PB's arrival.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone

 

Rain here during yesterday evening and throughout the night, seems to have stopped in the last few minutes.

 

Yogi, I hope you have a good day with PB

Good morning everyone, we had rain too EL but it seems to be dry for most of the weekend now.

 

How nice to see you in here Amythist please come back and natter to us - puts welcome mat down

Enjoy your day with PB Yogi and come back and tell us of all her latest sauciness, we are quite addicted now

 

Enjoy your day everyone, don't forget EL, no nipping off to the Matterhorn without us, we would be hurt. 

Good morning overcast but not too chilly here today

Have a great PB day yogi, you have ideal weather for it

that's not the owl I ordered!!

What about this then Summer, an owl pancake

 

Great owl pictures

 

Here's a photo of the Matterhorn I found on the web. It was taken at dawn, hence the colour.

Aw I love it squiggle

El, that's a beautiful picture

Did I tell you about the time my mum and me nearly climbed the Matterhorn in stiletto heels?   We soon realised our error when we saw climbers coming past in the opposite direction, we had turned the wrong way out of the cable car.

You and your mum could have broken a world record or something else.

 

Yogi, have a lovely day with PB 

Good afternoon Buddies  

Dull and overcast here but no rain as yet this afternoon 

Have a super Saturday everyone 

Staff numbers at HMRC 10 years ago 91,000

As of 30 September last year about 58,000

So a reduction of over a third.

 

That's a huge drop in staff
I got a notification letter yesterday about the changes to N.I. Contributions. It will be simpler to just be included on tax returns rather than both them and monthly payments.

Squiggle, I'm very glad you didn't go mountain climbing in stilettos
