Hi Velvet 

Hope you have a good weekend too 

I see your delivery did take all day to arrive then Yogi?  

It arrived an hour ago, Moonie. The delivery people were absolutely lovely though, so I forgave them.

Methinks they had to be nice so you didn't throttle them

Well, I have had all my Christmas cards for several weeks now. So that's my start to Christmas shopping. Just need a mortgage to post em now 

hello

yep ta same back

 I've made a start on PB's but haven't even started thinking about the adults.

I have bought my Christmas cards.

 

Snap, I've bought my cards. You aren't kidding about the cost of stamps!

Hi Pirate, how are things with you?

It's a good job it's only once a year  

Only joking 

Sorry Moonie, my stupid iPad keeps crashing.

 

lol I can't afford it more than once a year.

S'ok Yogi was chatting to me sister 

Talk for England she can 

Bazzy's iPad keeps crashing too 

Well it did last week...

How's your chatty sister - well, I hope?

I think the IOS9 update kicked off the problems with the iPad. Or maybe it's just overworked.

My sister as always is well when moaning. Enough said 

Bless her 

I had that update too and it seems that everything is a little slower especially on messenger 

 

It's driving me nuts. However, it hasn't been so bad since I closed it down and opened it up again.

Tempts fate...mine hasn't crashed as yet, just seems a little slower. 

 give it a thump!

I'm off to bed now, Moonie. Goodnight and sweet dreams.

Hugs for the night owls.

Don't tempt me Yogi 

Nite nite, sleep well and have sweet dreams Yogi  

night yogi and moons and summer if you pop in

Thanks for the night owl hugs sweet dreams my sleeping friends

I've really enjoyed catching up on the thread tonight, you lot are funny

(Yogi, that cushion was asda)

Good morning everyone

 

Fair weather here today.

 

I hope Skylark's computer and others' ipads slow mo issues are sorted out soon.

 

Good morning everyone, I hope everyone's computers and iPads behave themselves today.  We had a brief power cut yesterday afternoon - mucked up a film I was taping, hope it's OK - and that seemed to make my router play up for about an hour, or maybe someone had hit a cable but it's very frustrating so I can certainly sympathise.

 

I think I will have to dig out my Christmas card box and get writing a few in the next few days, I am already thinking about gifts for the little ones.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

By the way everyone, thinking about posting Christmas cards, don't bother with first class stamps for December, certainly not for cards.  My hubby used to work in the Post Office and the word was all post tends to go second class during the Christmas rush.  Might be worth knowing, I only use second class stamps then anyway although I use first class for the rest of the year.  If it helps to keep the cost down it all helps - as Tesco says

Good morning

Squiggle, that's very helpful, thank you! I've finished making my cards so will write them out and send them early- I will stock up on 2nd class stamps

Good morning everyone.

 

Pouring rain!

 

Getting my bathroom done this weekend but I'll pop in when I can.

 

Squiggle, thanks for the hint about Christmas mail.

 

Have a good day everyone.

Squiggle, thanks for that tip about Christmas cards

I hope the film you were trying to record didn't get wrecked by the power cut.

 

Yogi, I hope your bathroom work gets done on time and is satisfactory

Got a letter from HMRC this morning concerning a client. They are challenging the figures on his tax return for salary and pension. Looking at the figures they put I think I can see what has happened. I got in touch with my client and sent him an email. Assuming HMRC are right and I think they are it's going to cost him and it's not the type of news anyone wants whilst they are on holiday (he's in Tenerife and back next weekend).

 

The errors relate to the year to 5 April 2014 and I wasn't his agent then - he did the return himself. If I had made the mistakes he seems to have made I could get reported by HMRC to my institute for incompetence.

A strange coincidence:

A piece of old style American music I've just heard on the radio:

Husband and wife banjo duo.

 

Oh dear. What a pity he didn't come to you last year.

 They look like they were separated at birth.

Pops back to say goodnight and sweet dreams. Night owl hugs.

yes - thought that was strangely weird but interesting

night yogi and summer if you pop in

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is dry and bright.

 

Flying visit before the bathroom fitters arrive, to say have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone

 

Foggy conditions here. Looks as if it will be slow to clear and the forecasters do say that in some places it will stay like that all day.

 

Yogi, I hope the bathroom fitting today goes smoothly

I see that at present the time appearing as the posted time of replies is appearing as one hour later than the true UK time. I think it's because the clocks changed in the States early today and it hasn't caught up. I think this has happened before and got sorted out automatically.

 

Good morning it's a beautiful sunny day here sorry I didn't get on here yesterday, my day was busy from start to finish and I fell asleep on the sofa as soon as I sat down.

Happy November everyone!
Christmas24 the movie channel starts today

Yogi, good luck today, I hope all goes smoothly and looks beautiful when they're finished

El, thank goodness the error has been spotted now, and that he has you prepare the return for him these days.
I think I could probably do my return myself, but I prefer to let my accountant do it just in case I do make any mistakes
