Yes I've become an expert at that lol I have vanish spray for instant use, then wash them straight away with a bit of vanish powder thrown in. Sometimes it may take a couple of washes, but the stain does eventually fade.. I should just stop putting clean clothes on when I eat curry, I never learn Hope your tea turns up soon, you must be hungry!

Mr Yogi is a nightmare for spilling food on his clothes. We have threatened to buy him a big bib to wear while he eats.

 

I am starving, so I hope they hurry up.

I want to get into my PJs but I have a horrible feeling that I'm going to get one of those, "Is there any chance you could come and pick us up?" calls.

Lol oh not one of those calls!!!! I have a solution to that too- put your pj's on, and when you have to pop out, throw your walking trousers & coat on over the top I have driven to pick up mr summer several times like that lol

They blooming know I won't be in bed because I'm waiting on my curry, but I am tempted to put on my PJs anyway.

Lol I dare you! I'm about 2 mins away from falling asleep so I had better turn in yogi Hope they don't stay out too much longer, enjoy your curry and sleep soundly

I'm going to call them and try to hurry them up.

Goodnight Summer, sweet dreams.

Good morning everyone

 

Fairly cloudy here but after some rain overnight, now dry.

 

Yogi, I hope you liked your curry if and when it eventually came home . What did you have?

 

Good morning everyone. Weather is rainy and dismal. I did enjoy my curry, thanks El. I have no idea what it was because Mr Yogi couldn't remember what he had ordered It was very tasty though. Got some Christmas shopping to do today - I have a list! Have a good day, whatever you are doing

Lovely reading back, Vanish is my friend too and I am always dropping food down my front too, I decorate my bazoooom with a teatowel when I eat now well it cuts down on the stain removing I have to do.

 

A perfectly balanced meal Summer instead of your sadly missing paella, weetos for starter, onion rings main and Ferrero Rocher for pud - perfect

 

And I also do the raincoat over night things if I have to do any late lifts for the boys, in fact we were on our way out last night running them down to a friend when another of their friends turned up so they all stayed here for a while and then went off together on one bike (don't ask me how they managed that I don't have a clue)

 

Good luck with the Christmas shopping Yogi, not too many crowds I hope and you manage to spot perfect presents.

 

Have a good day everyone, off to the hairdressers soon, my hair has been a bit unmanageable this time so I hope to persuade her to cut the layers a little shorter.

 

Good morning bright and a little milder here today Yogi I'm pleased you got your curry hope you manage to figure out what it was so that you can order it again sometime This is for you.. Good luck with the shopping! I just picked up a few parcels this morning; wire rings for wreaths, red fleece fabric for crafts and a beautiful flask for mr summer- it's shaped like a big gun cartridge. He can take it when he goes clay pigeon shooting It's a surprise gift so i hope he likes it Lol at squiggle, I like your stain prevention plan I really should start doing that, I could make a festive bib!

Also, hope you like your hair today

Talking of Christmas, I've identified the music for the current Debenhams Christmas ad. It's called Illuminelle by Jo Blankenburg from his (& that's not a typo) album Elysium. His music is being used for adverts for films and other things.

Audio only:

Thanks El, I like it I can't stop humming christmas tunes

Hi all, at last i can sit down for a bit! Been a bit hectic here. got daughter staying for a bit so its all go!
Been doing a bit of Christmas shopping today, just the small stuff, lots of smellies and a few selection boxes.and tins biscuits & chocs.  My feet are sore  
I like the new Debenhams ad, and the music too  

I feel like a curry tonight 

Getting this for granddaughter, but in pink (cant see it now!), its like a mini ipad, with lots of games. think she will like it. I keep asking what she wants, but all she says is play-do and sweets! 

 

That looks like a good toy, I'm sure she'll love it, Skylark.

If you buy the Play Doh, don't let her near the carpets.

Hope you had a good shopping day Yogi  x

My head buzzing around sites for Christmas gifts  

Wont be on tomorrow, family day. Sleep well and take care  

For all who have loved and lost. Never forgotten 

Skylark

 

Hi yogi

Hi Buddies  Hope everyone is well. Anyway, I just dropped in to tell Yogi that I ordered Jaimie's book for my son.... £12 from Asda

Bazzle

Have you started photocopying yet?

Hi Summer, have you had a good day?

Yes thank you yogi, very busy! I'm looking forward to a lay in tomorrow How was your day?

It was fine, thanks. Eldest and middle sons visited, and we did some shopping, too.

Did you buy anything festive?

No, because sons were with us - and it was their stocking fillers I had intended buying.

Middle son did buy some more tree decorations, because his fiancée says you can never have enough decs.

Hehe that's very true, he's marrying a sensible girl I bought some tree decs today too, I'm making over my white tree with silver decs. It's usually decorated with red, gold & green

You'll need to post a pic when your tree is done.

My tree decs are red, gold and green - Mrs Traditional, I am.

It's not arrived yet Yogi ... But I will when it does

Do you think I'd get away with buying Jamie's book for youngest son, and Gordon's book for hubby?

Go for it Yogi ...I'm thinking of buying it for my DIL

Struggling to keep my eyes open, so I'll say goodnight Baz and Summer. See you both tomorrow.

We are soooooooooo on the same wavelength.

Goodnight Baz.

Will do yogi I'm usually a total traditionalist but fancy a little change this year, I could very well change my mind and go back to red, green & gold though! Sweet dreams, sleep well and I'll see you tomorrow

good morning I'm attempting to lay in but I really want to get up and start making my elf night costume! Hope everyone slept well For those we'll never forget..

Good morning everyone

 

A poem by Eric Chilman, a soldier in the East Yorkshire Regiment, written in 1917.

“After Days”

When the last gun has long withheld
Its thunder, and its mouth is sealed.
Strong men shall drive the furrow straight
On some remembered battlefield.

Untroubled they shall hear the loud
And gusty driving of the rains.
And birds with immemorial voice
Sing as of old in leafy lanes

The Stricken, tainted soil shall be
Again a flowery paradise-
Pure with memory of the dead
And purer for their sacrifice

         

Good morning everyone.

Summer, I can't wait to see your elf costume.

 

Very poignant poem, El.

 

"They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old,

 Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn,

 At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

 We shall remember them"

Good morning everyone, hi Baz

 

Have a good day with your family Skylark, I like the look of that toy I am sure she will love it.

 

Yogi your son's fiancee sounds like she has the right attitude, he has chosen well.

 

Off to church soon, where we will remember those who gave their lives so that we may live
