Good morning everyone.    No frost here this morning.  The sun is shining but it's very cold!!  Loved the pictures Sweet.  Unfortunately it's maade the page stretch for me!!

 

Hope everyone has a great day, whatever you are doing. 

Love it!!!   And I love those photos too, I am going to upload them to Photobucket because they are sooooo gorgeous.

Summer, lovely photos - very Christmassy.

 

My scraper is blue, so not to wild

 

Squiggle, the scraper is tax deductible - thanks for reminding me as I had thrown the receipt away and have now rescued it. I can only claim the proportion of business miles to total miles. I reckon it will save me 26p in tax

You know what they say, "Take care of the pennies and the pounds take care of themselves".

 

Got the family coming over for dinner, so won't be back till later tonight.

Have a good time Yogi

I hope you and your family have a nice dinner, Yogi

Apologies joyron for stretching the page, let's get us a snaffle ASAP to clear it for you El, blue is perfectly acceptable My scraper is black & red and I had to use it properly for the first time this morning. I then ran out of screen wash whilst driving on the motorway and had to pull over to refill (I keep a spare bottle ready in the boot) I've been..*gulp*.. Clothes shopping! Not a task I enjoy, it's a pain in the backside to be honest! I desperately needed a couple of new tops to wear next week, I've got several dinners out planned and everyone has literally seen everything I've got about 3 times lol It's done now though so no need to do it again for several months! I hope everyone has had a lovely Sunday

 

Thank you both, we did have a nice meal together. They've all gone home now, dishwasher  is on and I'm watching DOI.

Summer, I don't like going clothes shopping either, but it does have to be done. Hope you enjoy all your upcoming evenings out.

Glad you enjoyed your dinner Yogi, and pleased that with your new kitchen you have a lovely dishwasher to take care of the dishes

 

Signing out early tonight, sleep well everyone, speak to you all tomorrow.

Goodnight Squiggle, see you tomorrow.

Sweet dreams squiggle Yogi I'm glad you enjoyed your meal, how are your family?

Apart from two sons having the cold, everyone is fine, thanks Summer.

 

When I was out for a walk with Keira this morning, we met a lady with a labradoodle. She was very excited and bouncy, but also very cute (the dog, not the lady).

Haha the dog not the lady I love the chatty dog owners those labradoodles are much bigger than I expected Hope your sons colds clear up soon, and I hope you don't catch it

I told them I'd prefer them to be selfish and not share it with me.

 

Going for a quick bath before DOI results show, be back soon.

Lol too right, they should definitely not share that with you

I'm off to watch some vampire diaries, back after. Good timing yogi

Enjoy your Vampire Diaries, Summer.

I've made it back, just in time for DOI results.

It was good yogi, Damon's gone bad again, he was being so good for a while! I hope the DOI result was what you were hoping I'm off to dreamland, sweet dreams

The ones I like in DOI got through so I'm happy, Summer.

Hope you sleep well, see you tomorrow.

night yogi

Sorry Ros, I went off to empty the dishwasher.

Signing out now, speak to you tomorrow.

Good morning everyone

 

The coldest night of the winter so far for many of us but tonight is the last cold night.

 

I did see Call the Midwife last night and liked it. Although inevitably tragic in places it is also life-affirming. No sign of Miranda Hart in this first episode - she arrives next week. From what little I've read, she will ditch the persona that she has been known for and will be taking it seriously.

 

Good morning boy is it cold! I've got 5 layers on today, the heater up full and a hot drink! If it were possible to cut hair with gloves on I probably would lol El, what channel is call the midwife on? I saw an advert for it and it looks good, hoping I can catch it online..?

Good morning everyone. It's another frosty morning up here.

Poor Summer, it sounds freezing where you are.

El, I recorded Call The Midwife and will now look forward to watching it while I do the ironing, later this afternoon.

Good morning everyone.    Really sharp frost here today and it's very cold!!  Seems as though we all have the same weather today.

 

I recorded Call the Midwife too and will, hopefully find time to watch it today.  I had an email from my penfriend telling me that she had just bought the first series of Downton Abbey on DVD as part of her husband's birthday present.  They had a real treat in store with that, and the second series to follow plus the Christmas special.  We, unfortunately, will probably have to wait until nearer the end of the year before series 3 arrives on our screens!!

 

Have a good day whatever you are doing.  I intend staying in the warm. 

The good news is there is a lovely pale blue sky, the bad news is its flipping freezing heavy frost last night.  Like most other peeps I recorded Call The Midwife, I am looking forward to it (it was on BBC1 Summer by the way so should be on the iPlayer).  Like Joyron I am intending as far as possible to stay in the warm today.

 

Yogi I had such a lovely mental picture of the cute bouncy dog owner

Morning x
Very cold here.
Trying to get granddaughter ready for nursery and just cant get organised this morning !
Will be back later and catch up  

Summer, Call the Midwife is on BBC1 Sunday evenings starting at 8.00. It's on their iPlayer for 7 days - catch it here

 

I've just popped out to post a letter and it's cold out there. It's now just above freezing. I think squiggle may be the only one of us to avoid the worst of this cold weather

 

Re Call the Midwife. When I was young we lived in a terraced house in Gloucester near the park. For some years until we moved away, the family who lived next door was a Polish family who were good Roman Catholics. As a result the wife had about 18 children living in the house, not as many as one family in the programme but not far off. Also as I have mentioned before, my aunt is a nun. When her convent was thriving, they looked after elderly women as a care home.

Thank you there's an iPhone BBC iplayer app do I'll be able to watch it Our main computer is in our spare room with one uncomfy office chair and a lot of laundry, laying in bed watching the iPhone is much more suitable lol

Suiggle, she was very friendly - and not a wet nose in sight.

 

El, I've watched Call The Midwife and thought it was good. Summer, it's definitely worth a look.

My grandparents had an Irish neighbour who was the youngest of 17 children. I thought that was a lot but 24 beats it by a mile.

 

Skylark, hope you managed to get organised and get your granddaughter to nursery.

Joyron, I think staying in in the warm is the best idea today. Apart from walking the dog, I don't intend to stray far from home, it's freezing out there. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

It's very cold, I think people have wisely put off getting their hair cut- I've only done 3 so far today! I'm not going to complain though, it's been so long since I had a slow day do I'm enjoying it Yogi does Kiera mind the frost on her paws? My dad was one of 14 children, my poor grandma!

 A quick hello, rushing to go back to nursery 

Skylark Hope little lady has had a good day at nursery

No, she doesn't seem to mind the frost and she loves the snow.

She doesn't like the wind and rain very much - neither do I.

 

14 children must have kept your grandma busy!

 

Poor Skylark, you are being kept on the hop, today.

Yogi I think you and Keira are very well suited

I just watched Call The Midwife, what a wonderful new show.  It was so moving and, as usual because I'm extremely soppy, I was on the verge of tears.  I don't think even Miranda Hart could spoil it.

I'm glad you liked it, I thought you would like it.

We are, Summer.

 

I'm glad I wasn't the only one getting teary.

I'm looking forward to next week's episode.

That premature baby and that lovely family, you couldn't help welling up could you?  Well in fact for all those women managing in those circumstances it was very moving.

It was, Squiggle.
