It's good to have a garage/mechanic you can trust.

The weather's brightened up here, a mix of cloud and some blue sky so hopefully it won't be raining when my brother arrives later this afternoon. He generally walks from the railway station and because of major roadworks in the area it's unlikely that the bus, which he might have taken, goes anywhere near where I live.

Has there been a problem with the site over the last hour or so? I couldn't get in!

 

Have a lovely weekend with your brother, El. 

I've been having problems myself, I guess it's their servers playing up again.

 

Thanks, I hope everyone here has a nice weekend as well

My brother's arrived complete with cakes:

and their caramel version

Enjoy your brother's visit, and the cakes!

They look delicious Enjoy your weekend EL.

Squiggle, I hope you have your car back by now and the final bill wasn't too expensive.

wow! Those cakes actually made my mouth water

I'm pleased your cakes, I mean.. Er.. Brother! Arrived safely El I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Squiggle, I too hope your car is fixed now

Yogi, I hope the server issues are resolved now how was your day?
I'm all ready for bed and having a lazy snuggle with Bramble the rain hasn't stopped all day, and is getting heavier! The river is already swollen too.

Yogi! It could be my fault- I requested something in the thread about the app being phased out, and Lori thinks she's found a bug! Maybe they're investigating the issue

The site seems okay now, Summer.

I also have my PJs on and am ready for the CBB double eviction. I don't have a favourite HM, which seems rather strange. I do have a hate figure though, as I really can't stand Carol!

The rain started here about an hour ago and it's quite heavy.

How was your day?

 I'm sure it wasn't your fault but I hope they manage to sort it out.

Maybe I could call myself Sweet Sherlock, or Sweet Marple, or Agatha Summer...

Are you watching CBB tonight yogi?

Sweet Sherlock sounds good. Yes, I'm watching the eviction.

Elementary my dear yogi-son

 

How was work today, was it a bit quieter?

Much much quieter yogi! I think the rain had a lot more to do with that though, Friday is usually busy regardless of time of year.
I did get lots of jobs done that I haven't had time to do lately

Are you tired? Did you squeeze a nap in?

Aaaaaaaaaw

Cute owls.

 

I'm glad you had a quieter day, after the back-to-school rush.

I did have an hour's nap on the couch this afternoon, hopefully I will still sleep tonight.

You must have needed it I hope you sleep better tonight, and feel bright in the morning

Speaking of... I'm nodding off. Sweet dreams yogi

Leaving for any night owls/absent friends

Goodnight Summer, I'm going to sign out too.

Sweet dreams.

Good morning everyone

 

A sunny morning here but quite cool outside.

 

Summer, we'll have to call you Dame Agatha Summer

 

A health warning about those Thornton chocolate cakes - they are extremely nice and you may find that you cannot stop eating them

 

Have a nice day

Good morning everyone. The rain has stopped for the moment but some big black clouds are heading my way.

 

I managed to get some sleep last night - seven hours.

 

The Thornton cakes sound delicious, El - were you very restrained or did you eat more than one?

 

Going to B&Q today and hope to persuade hubby that a little trip to the garden centre is a good idea.

 

Have a good day everyone.

 

 

 

Yes thank you, it was back shortly after lunch.  I won't get the bill for a few days or so.

 

I can't stand Carol either, I've never liked her but she is getting on my last nerve now.  I did like it when she was saying to Dustin a while ago 'no-one can be that nice' and he said to her 'I know what you're seeing it's a reflection of your horribleness' He said it so nicely too, no malice at all.

 

I hope you slept better Yogi.  Do they put a health warning on those cakes EL?

 

Have a good day everyone

Good morning

Yogi glad you slept better last night!

Be back when I can x

Squiggle, how's the car?

El- I'd eat more than 1

Good morning

Yogi glad you slept better last night!

Squiggle, how's the car?

El- I'd eat more than 1

I am so glad you slept well Yogi.

 

Summer the car seems fine.  I oiled and cleaned all the window tracks yesterday, with a car this old the dirt can stop the windows working well so I got this Ballistol oil and oil soaked cloths and ran the cloths round the tracks to get rid of the dirt and then sprayed the oil in, worked the windows several times and now they all seem to be running well.

I ate 2

The health warning reads "Danger of spontaneous explosion if more than 20 eaten at one go"

Squiggle, I'm glad the car is back in pristine condition

Yogi, I'm pleased you were able to get a decent night's sleep

Squiggle I really am impressed with your ability to do handy work on your own car! I'm useless, I can just about put air in my tyres & fill the water bottle

hello all 

please forgive for butting In ..this Is for El Loro 

 

I use a valid e-mail address why can't I update at the end It says coupon number

what does this mean ,I have full permission using all the right codes ,where AM I going wrong thanks x

 

ps Halifax Visa ..does that work ? 

That's about the extent of my ability Summer, I can't even put air in my tyres - well not without sticking my bottom in the air at a petrol station - not my best look - so my darling grandsons do it for me.  I do fill the washer bottle on the car though, although having said that I once filled it up with what I thought was diluted but it must have been concentrate because it came out green for ages

By the way I read your thread often and love It 

 

see you

I'm glad you like it frodo, you are always welcome

 thankyou

Frodo, I'm guessing that you are referring to wanting to become a VIP and pay for premium membership. I've passed your question on to Lori who may be able to help you. I've suggested that she sends you a PM/dialog so have a look out for one. It is the weekend so she mayn't reply until Monday evening.

 

Evening all. 

Went to B&Q and then out for lunch.

Hope you've all had a good day. Off to watch the Strictly pairings.

Thank you El Loro 

this thread Is soothing and uncomplicated ,a nice place to be ..kind of watching but not bitchy which I love

Hi Frodo. I don't like Carol either.

Hi Frodo you're welcome in here anytime, it's a friendly thread
