Moonie, it's too wet and windy to go tarpaulin chasing 
I'm glad to be back home again without getting too wet. Nothing terribly exciting, M&S spaghetti carbonara I stocked up on. I have one a week and freeze them so I don't have to go back too often. I did get some of their lemon muffins which are gorgeous and I tried their Gastro Pub luxury fish pie which looks good. I always stock up on their gold teabags which I know EL likes too, they make a lovely cup of tea. Some bananas and a pint of whole milk just in case my 2 pinta for the week runs out too soon. I was just going to top up the petrol tank and go through the car wash, they have a promotion and I am due a free wash after paying for 5 before but the car wash was closed so I didn't bother and just came home.
I hope that tarp stays in place EL, we're a bit like Moonie and it's really blowing a hooley - lovely Irish expression, not sure if that's how you spell it. Moonie I hope you are able to stay in the warm and dry now, like me. Summer I hope your mum's instinct is wrong but mum's instincts are often spot on. Never mind your sister has you both watching her back so I am sure it will all be fine.
Call me a coward but I can't watch the news, that beautiful baby boy. Every time I see anything about it I think don't phone the flipping phone line get to A&E pronto and kick up a fuss if need be 
Hi Squiggle 
Glad you made it back back without getting wet 
I just found this online Squiggle...
According to A Way with Words, to blow a hoolie means â(of weather) to storm; to forcefully gust, blow, and rain.â It is perhaps connected to hooley, which is defined by Cassellâs Dictionary of Slang as âa rip-roaring partyâ and comes from Ireland.
Also on the same site....
The OED suggests that hoolie /hu(: )li/ comes from the Orkney Scots word hoolan (strong gale), from an unattested Norn form of the Old Icelandic Ã―lun (howling, wailing).
Its amazing what Google throws up 
Squiggle, I'm glad you got what you needed from M&S. As you say I like those gold teabags.
Your spelling of hooley is correct. It's also a word for a rowdy party.

It is indeed El
Thank you EL and Moonie. I am so glad I'm not out in it now, it's awful out there.
Afternoon all.
Such a tragic story about that little boy.
Moonie, it does become rather boring and predictable when they same people win all the time.
Summer, I hope your sister has been in touch by now.
Well done El on getting those returns in.
I correctly guessed the author of the story.
I like your food choices, Squiggle. Spaghetti carbonara and lemon muffins are yummy.
Kingfisher on a shopping trip

The weather is vile here too and tomorrow's not looking any better for my area.
Yogi, well done on guessing the writer of that story
Thanks El.
Squiggle, the kingfisher pic is great.
Goodnight and sweet dreams Moonie, Velvet, Ros and Summer if she pops in.

i keep wondering what delights squiggle is coming home with, I love food
So you're a live to eat person rather than a eat to live person
I'm very torn on that one El, right down the middle I would say!
Right, I'm all caught up! Enjoyable reading back

Have a good day, everyone.

Good morning Yogi

Cleaned one of our kitchen cupboards out several years ago. Found stuff in there more than ten years old 
Take care out there in the bad weather

A wet windy morning here but the rain is forecast to end by afternoon.
Yogi, I hope your hospital appointment goes well
Summer, I hope you are able to make contact with your sister very soon
Morning El
Very wet and windy here this morning 
I have to venture out at sometime today. But will wait until there is a lull in the weather, should that happen
Have a good day's accounting

Hi Sweet
All is well here bar the weather 
I hope you and Bramble have a good day and you hear from your sister
It's looking like I will have to look out my wet weather gear
Good morning everyone, it's been atrocious but I think the rain is going to come to an end soon, still very windy though. Take care Moonie when you're out and about, I hope you get that lull and can get out and back in the dry.
Good luck with the hospital appointment and the cupboard cleaning. Moonie I get told off by my daughter if she finds any out of date items, but 10 years! I think you hold the record.
EL do you think you get that team of mechanics when you need new tyres with the Formula 1 cars?
Enjoy your day everyone

I think the rain should stop in your area fairly soon so you should be able to go out on your venture.
It has got a little lighter since I have been online so gonna get me body into gear and away out
Toodles for now

I've just had a phone call from the mother of the client whose accounts are in a state of collapse. I wouldn't want to be the son tonight when he gets home as he will get a roasting. I couldn't say much to his mother though she has access to his accounts so know what state they are in. I told her that I was standing down as his client and I'm sending him a letter of disengagement and advising him to get things sorted out urgently.

Hi Squiggle
Managed to shop and bank in the dry fankoo
My mum would buy stuff occasionally, put it in the cupboard and it got shuffled to the rear of the cupboard

When accountants take on new clients they are supposed to send them engagament letters. It's considered a good idea to do disengagement letters if they cease acting for a client particularly in a case like this client. Soliciors do much the same.
Afternoon all.
Thanks everyone, the hospital appointment went well. The new drug appears to be working well for me.
My cupboards are done and no out of date food. TBF, it isn't very long since I last did them.
El, I almost feel sorry for that client, if his mum is going to give him an ear bashing.
