I'll have a look in there.

 

I've been clearing out our small bedroom which houses PB's toys, books, dvds etc

I was bending over the big toy chest for ages and I think that's why my back is aching.

lol No!  Remember the way she whanged the dolls into the hospital/tent?!

It might help manipulate your back in a good way or, have a nice soak in the bath and rub some cream in to it.
Did you get everything done that you were aiming for?

I've had a nice bath and hubby has promised to rub on some Voltarol after IAC is finished. 

Yes, we got it finished, thank goodness. PB has taken over both of my spare rooms!

Lol spare rooms, and everyone's hearts
I bet Christmas will help fill up the rooms again
What are you doing this weekend?

Absolutely, she has stolen everyone's hearts.

Son and DiL say they have no idea where they are going to put the gifts she'll get for Christmas as their house is already bursting at the seams!

I think we're going out for tea with middle son and DiL tomorrow, then hubby and eldest are going out to a market on Sunday, and I'll have PB for a few hours. DiL has got something else planned.

Do you have any plans?

 

Aw lovely Xmas market or regular one?

Quite relaxed, probably involving some festive crafting. I'm meeting friends for tea on Monday and Wednesday next week

I'm going to Churchill yogi so had better say goodnight sweet dreams

Festive crafting sounds perfect.

Goodnight Summer, sleep well and sweet dreams.

Goodnight all, sweet dreams.

Good morning everyone

 

Suuny with a northerly wind making it cold here. No snow here, not that any was expected. Coldest day of the season so far and Summer will be wearing doubled Christmas jumpers.

 

Summer, good luck with your festive crafting

 

Yogi, well done on the sorting out of the toys rooms

 

Good morning everyone, like you it's sunny here but extremely cold, you can tell the wind is blowing straight down from the Arctic.

 

Well done Yogi on getting the toys all sorted and have a great day today with PB and family.

 

How's all the crafting going Summer?  I bet your Christmas jumpers put all your customers in a festive mood.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone.

 

Looks like we had a very light flurry of snow overnight.

 

My back feels a bit better this morning.

 

Squiggle, have you had a visit from the baby and his big sister recently?

 

Have a good day everyone.

No I haven't Yogi and I am hoping for one soon.  I woke up at 5 with an aching back and I have my memory foam cushion behind my back at the moment which is helping a lot.  I have an assortment of cushions of varying thickness depending on how my back is feeling, what a palaver

Fingers crossed you get a visit very soon.

I can totally understand the cushion thing and I sympathise. I use varying number of cushions and even pillows (and/or hot water bottle) depending on how much my back aches.

Yogi, I'm glad your back is feeling a bit better today

 

Squiggle, I hope your back pain eases and that you get a visit from the baby

 

Just had a lengthy phone call from the person I deal with at the huge client about dividends.

 

Turned my computer on this morning and found that I had no sound from the speakers. Checked leads to make sure that they weren't loose. I set up the old speakers (which are of poor quality) and they worked so I realised it was the new speakers rather than the computer. I use a Belkin 6 socket surge protector so I tried a different socket and the sound came back. I put the plug back in the previosu socket and it still worked. Don't know why this sorted out the problem but the sound is back

Good afternoon we had some snow last night, yay!!!!!!



El- I do indeed have a thicker Christmas jumper on today my customers are loving it

Yogi I'm pleased your back pain is easing, I hope both yourself and squiggle can keep warm & comfy in this cold weather

Summer, I thought you might get some snow and have a thicker Christmas jumper on. Bramble's saying I want more

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ain't she sweet  bless 

I remember when my nephew and niece where young. She used to take loads of so called "unwanted" toys to school for the school  "jumble sale." 

My nephew used to go and buy all his back  

Right a "proper" good afternoon Buddies, now   

Cold and very windy today. Weekend and Monday shopping done, so just a matter of keeping warm now

Have a good weekend and stay warm everyone   

Moonie, I hope you have a good weekend and stay warm yourself

I shall endeavour so to do fankoo El 

 

Good morning everyone

 

A fairly bright morning here, the wind has dies down so it won't feel quite as cold outside as today.

 

This advert has been banned by the advertising agency from the major cinema chains in this country as it may upset and offend people. It's a U certificate.

Good morning everyone, like you EL we have a much brighter morning with even some blue sky, cold though.

 

I fail to see why that advert could offend anyone

 

I hope you are managing to stay nice and warm moonie

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone.

 

Weather is dry, bright and cold.

 

Re the link, this country has lost the plot! The next thing you know we'll be banning adverts for meat, in case it offends vegetarians!

Chilly morning Buddies   

Brass monkeys here  

I may not venture out today 

I have managed to stay on the warm side of cold fankoo peeps  

Have a great day. Stay warm everyone  

Re the ad...I wonder if they realise they have offended the "many" so they won't offend the few?

May be they'll ban all advertisments on the chance that they might offend or upset someone

Good afternoon bright with showery intervals here, the cold snap continues but feels delightfully festive.

I had a bit of a nightmare last night; I got home from work and as I attempted to top up my gas meter, the meter died! I had no idea that pre pay meters have batteries in that can die in cold weather.
My Sherlock impression led me to discover that the national grid owns the meter, they came to fix it within 2 hours! I had been quoted 4 hours, so I was pleased. With snow on the ground and no heating & hot water, I wrapped myself up like a ridiculous Eskimo and lit about 100 candles to generate some heat. After that I didn't even feel like watching strictly, so I went to bed early.

This morning I've been out for a lovely walk and popped to the shops for some craft supplies

How are we all?

El, I think I could easily wrack up some walking bit currency

What a nasty shock Summer I am glad they came quicker than you thought but it still must have been a horrible time

That was a nasty surprise, Summer but I'm glad if got sorted out reasonably quickly

Thanks you guys I'm just glad it happened when it did, I didn't have to take time off work to get it sorted out, and I wasn't supposed to be going out anywhere at the time.

Hi Sweet  

Bad luck and good luck there 

 

Bad luck it happened at all but good luck you got it fixed promptly  

Thanks moonie how's your weekend been?
I fell asleep this afternoon

Welcome Sweet 

My weekend has been okay fankoo. I hope yours has too 

I woke up at six o'clock so looks like we both had a good nap 

Well, they do call it the day of rest don't they I didn't even know I was tired, it just happened lol

How's your team doing in the football?

Well you must have needed sleep then Sweet 

My team actually won yesterday for a change   

Evening nappers!

 

Summer, I had no idea that some gas meters have batteries. Good job they answered your callout quickly, as nobody wants to be without heat and hot water in this weather.

 

I've had a PB day. She's just gone home after tea.

She wanted to stay on a sleepover.

Who said that? Oh! Hiya Yogi  

Yeeey! A PB day 

was she on good form today Yogi?

Awwwww bless 

 Hi sleepy Moonie.

As ever, PB was on great form.

She was watching Happy Feet and copied the dancing. She said, "I'm good at penguin dancing!"
