Good morning everyone 
At present it's sunny here with a slight breeze but it will become very windy with gusts over 40pmh by the end of the day.
Yogi, I hope you have a goiod time withe the tiddlers 
I hope everyone has a good day 
Good morning everyone, I was pleased to see that the wind had dropped when I opened the window this morning and it was feeling quite balmy. Disappointing to find out it will become gale force again later today.
Good news about Keira 
Enjoy your day everyone
Met Office has named tonight's and tomorrow morning's weather as Storm Aileen. Most of England and Wales affected, mainly yellow warning though there is an amber warning for wind covering much of North Wales and eastwards right across England. Not a day for putting washing on the line.
Good afternoon 
sunny and bright but already windy here today. I'm hoping to get home in time to quickly cut the grass before it rains, but I think that's unlikely.
I hope youre all warm, dry and storm ready
Summer, I've just been doing some local shopping so don't need to go out again until tomorrow afternoon when the wind should have died down a bit.
Tonight's named storm is the earliest one, in the previous two years the first one didn't occur until November. I hope the farmers have been getting on with their harvesting else their crops could be destroyed.
At the local Co-op spotted a pack of Muller yoghurts with a use by date of the 9th - they were underneath some which weren't out of date - so I passed it over to an assisstant. Bought next week's Radio Times. When I got home I found that it was living up to its title - virtually all the TV listing pages were missing (51-114). Took it back to get it replaced - looks as if it was a one off as the other copies seemed OK.
Good morning everyone
Sunny and breezy here, showers forecast for later. No obvious storm damage here but it wasn't as windy here as elsewhere. I hope no-one here has been affected by that storm.
I am collecting the boxes of records of my annual big client this morning. It's about 3 weeks earlier than last year which is just as well. It will keep me busy over the next couple of months. I want to get the accounts to the larger firm of accountants to process the final accounts before the end of November as they will have to do them in the new FRS 102 format rather than the FRSSE format we've been using for some years so I don't want them doing the accounts in a mad rush to get them done before the Christmas break.
Visit to the dentist after lunch for the double filling I mentioned.
I hope everyone has a good day

Your shopping trip sounds like a scene from a sitcom 
open all hours springs to mind
im glad no storm damage has occurred, I hope you had a nice evening
Good morning everyone
i did manage to speed cut my grass and it started to rain just as I was putting my mower away in the shed.
I then did a workout DVD and I'm certainly feeling it this morning lol
what have you all got planned today?
Mum hoping to renegotiate some utility bills 
Good morning all.
Yesterday was busy but good fun with the tiddlers
Keira is eating but not full meals. I discovered she will eat most things if the children give her them, so I gave BB stuff to "drop" from his highchair for her, and PB hand fed her with tinned meat (for humans). Left to her own devices, ATM Keira would only eat tinned ham, toast and Quavers I'm just glad she is eating something.
Hope all goes well at the dentist, El.
Good luck with the utility bills, Summer. We've just swapped our supplier and should make a saving.
Squiggle, I hope it's not too windy where you are.
Hubby and I are off on a short break tomorrow, and I still have packing to do. Middle son and DiL are dog sitting Keira in our house as we felt it might be a bit much for my dad because she isn't fully recovered yet. So, I now have a spare bed to change after the tiddlers sleepover
Have a good day, everyone.
Good morning (just) I've been busy trying to sort out broadband problems this morning. Still quite blustery.
Enjoy your day everyone
Summer, it was a bit Open all Hours at the co-op yesterday, not like that usually A white van parked on the large pavement at the corner of the road decided to sound the alarm every few minutes just as I was going to bed. So I put in some wax plugs. That stopped me hearing the alarm but also meant that I didn't notice if there were howling gales during the night.
I hope your mum succeeds with her negotiations
Yogi, I'm glad you had a good time with the tiddlers yesterday and hope your break goes well. I hope Keira's appetite improves but at least she's eating somethings
Wow yogi you are a busy bee indeed!!!!! I'm glad keira is on the up and I love your plan on getting the children to feed her I hope you have a fabulous trip away, you deserve the break
ive just saved a whopping ÂĢ39 per month by switching my broadband & phone line rental to sky, from BT. BT couldn't offer me anything close to sky's great offer, and their customer service team weren't even half as helpful either
Thanks Velvet re the Big One
I use Virgin Media. I'm happy to stay with them as the problems I had before when I was using a BT line were such that I don't have a lot of choice. I believe that the BT line from the telegraph pole to the house is corroded to the point that although a phone signal gets through, broadband doesn't. There's also the point that strong winds won't affect connection.
Afternoon all
Thanks everyone, my girly finally ate some dog food - mixed with tinned ham
I've been running about like a headless chicken, getting ready for going away. How come, MrY's only input to going away, seems to be getting the case down from the loft? I'm shattered.
Well done on your broadband saving, Summer, and I hope Squiggle gets her broadband sorted out too.
Thanks everyone I've saved ÂĢ15 per month by swapping life insurance companies too, and renewed my car tax 
lol
yogi, put him to work! Lol are you excited for your trip?
Lol thanks El I'm going to use the money I'm saving to make overpayments on my mortgage- every little helps

You are on a money saving roll, well done
I'm too shattered to be excited. Joking apart, I am looking forward to it.

Good morning everyone
Cloudy here and showers likely today. At least the wind has died down.
Yogi, I hope all has gone smoothly with your plane journey

Good morning everyone, we still have that very strong wind. The roads round here were chaos yesterday, fallen trees everywhere blocking all the roads, getting around was a nightmare.
I hope you have a safe flight and a lovely break Yogi.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning sunshine and showers here, with a chilly wind. I got my lightweight gloves out this morning!
Squiggle, I hope that strong wind dies down soon in your area - it's not that strong here. Summer, the wind direction has changed so that it's coming from the north west rather than the south west which presumably is why it's feeling chilly.
The rain has started here as I post
Salisbury Plain is famous for Stonehenge etc. Archeologists on the plain have recently uncovered another ancient object

night summer-sorry to miss you-
Good morning everyone, tipping it down here and the forecast not good for the rest of the day. I wonder what exotic destination Yogi and her hubby are at? I'm sure they're having a great time.
Enjoy your day everyone
