Fankoo for all your best wishes 

I shall see you all soon 

Bye for now   

Moooooonie!!!!!!
Lovely to see you pop in, we're all willing you to get better. I hope you're alright

Lovely to hear from you

Moonie!!!!! So pleased to see you. Take good care of yourself and hope you feel well enough to come back to us soon.

evening

The painting is all finished and many things are back in, but I'm going to wait until tomorrow to put up my new mirror & towel holder etc, because I don't want to get drill dust on the gloss before it's fully dried

I hope you all had a lovely weekend, I should be around more often now

Leaving hugs for yogi, and I hope you sleep well tonight

Good night all

Well done on getting the painting finished, Summer. What colour did you decide on?

Love the owl.

Sweet dreams, goodnight.

 

Good morning everyone

 

Blue sky here at present though not warm outside. Showers forecast this afternoon.

 

I have an early morning routine annual checkup at the doctors, blood tests and blood pressure etc so I'll be back later.

 

Good morning everyone. Weather is awful - heavy rain and wind. 

I hope all goes well at your check up, El.

Look what I found when I was looking at photograph albums.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning
A bright, sunny but very cold autumnal morning here- there's leaves all over the ground! It has been a very windy weekend. 

Oh no yogi, does that mean you'll try to stay in today? That's perfect movie weather
Love the owl album! It's adorable
I painted the bathroom a very light pink, it's called "sweet sundae 6" by dulux. I had it mixed in a kitchen, Matt base. Mr summer us going to put up my mirror & towel holder etc later, I'll take some photos after to show you
How did you sleep?

El, good luck, I hope it's all good

Squiggle I hope you had a lovely weekend

Good morning everyone, really windy here and heavy downpours every now and then.

 

Lovely to see you moonie, as Summer says we are all willing you to get well

 

So glad you got the bathroom done Summer, mine is light pink too, looking forward to the pictures.

 

What a great photo album Yogi

Hope all goes well with the medical tests EL.

I'm back from the doctors. The blood pressure test was fine The doctor will ring me in a couple of weeks with the results of the blood tests but I expect they will be satisfactory.

 

Yogi, great album

 

Yogi and squiggle, I hope you don't have to go out in that rain. It's still sunny here though a bit more cloud now.

 

Summer, well done on your bathroom painting

 

That's a great result El well done!

I've got a headache today, I think I'm a bit dehydrated so I'm attempting to drink plenty of water today

There's a weather report been posted online, about snow in October! I'll go read it and come back to tell you..

That's a great result El well done!

I've got a headache today, I think I'm a bit dehydrated so I'm attempting to drink plenty of water today

Yep, just the usual "could be the worst winter in years" predictions

I'm glad your check seemed to go well, El.

I did have to go out to the bank and the shops but managed to go during a dry spell. Atm, the sun is shining but still very blustery. It looks like it will be heavy showers and blustery wind, with the odd dry spell thrown in.

Summer, I hope that weather prediction about snow in October proves to be incorrect!

Pale pink sounds nice for the bathroom - you and Squiggle have good taste.

 

 

 

 

 

Summer, I rhink you may find that the snow in October report which has been circulating today relates to a Daily Mail report 2 years ago which has been regurgitated in error.

I think you are sensible to drink plenty of water and hope your headache eases

That's not to say there won't be snow on the Scottish mountains, that wouldn't be unusual.

 

That might explain why I couldn't find the story on their webpage then, I don't usually even read links on fb but it was posted by a family member. I think I'll find a nice way to tell them

Yogi I'm please you didn't get rained on how's the beans?!

Oh my goodness-
I just found out that when they filmed Pride & Prejudice, Susannah Harker who played Jane, was pregnant! Her costumes hide her bump.
I've seen it probably a hundred times, I can't believe I didn't know

Summer, this is the September 2011 article in the Daily Mail about snow in October which has been circulating today:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...n-early-October.html

 

There's been an 0800 number (0800 235 6323) which has been ringing me twice a day every day (apart from weekends) for the last week or so. It's a silent call which after a bit I hear a recorded "good bye" before the phone goes dead. Ringing the number back produces a steady tone at the end rather than a ringing tone.

Done a Google search on the number and that produces no results.

I've reported the number to OFCOM though they won't reply to me and would only investigate if others make complaints.

 Get thee to Specsavers!

In your defence, I'm sure the wardrobe people were very good at disguising it.

 

El, I checked out that number on Whocallsme but it doesn't seem to have been reported as a nuisance number (yet!). 

Yogi, I had already checked to see if any reports had been made about that number and found none. That's why I reported it to OFCOM. The fact that the number has been ringing me repeatedly over the past week shows that this is not a random caller but is targeting me.

 

Aren't they an awful nuisance those silent calls?  If you can, block the number EL.

 

I didn't notice Susannah Harker was pregnant either.  Thinking back were they wearing empire line dresses?  Those would easily mask a pregnancy.  How silly those out of date weather reports, could easily have people panicking.

Squiggle, Virgin Media don't have a call blocker facility. Customers have moaned about that for ages so maybe one day Virgin will do something about it.

Yogi, I've now made a report on WhoCallsMe.

 

 

 

I also wish Virgin would introduce a Call Blocking facility.

I had another sleepless night last night, so I am signing out early tonight.

Sweet dreams everyone. Big hug for Summer.

I hope you sleep better tonight   

*night owls* goodness me!
I've had a friend over for tea, and she's not long left. She doesn't sleep much, and I don't think she realises we go to bed by 10pm. I couldn't be rude and shoo her out though!

Squiggle, yes the dresses were empire lines it must have made the costume dept's job of hiding her pregnancy much easier.
I love the dresses of that era

El, what a nuisance! I hope they stop calling very soon I myself have been ignoring a daily missed call from an 0845 number, they'll get the hint eventually

Yogi, I hope you sleep better tonight if I could loan you my gift of good sleeping, I would

Moonie lovely to see you back, if only briefly. I hope you are soon back with us again, we miss your cheery nature

Night night everyone
Leaving hugs for absent friends

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here at present. Akthough dry now rain is forecast throughout the afternoon.

 

Yogi, I hope you were able to catch up on your sleep last night

 

I have an exciting tax course this afternoon so will be out.

Good morning
Cloudy and cool, and windy here today.

El, good luck on the course, I hope it's a good one

Here's a part of my bathroom...

I'm in love with the rustic little mirror lol


Of course it'll look even better once my bits & bobs are on it.
We couldn't put the towel ring & loo roll holder up because we don't have the right sized screws in the house. They're cream, and the towels are pink with white spots on. Hopefully I'll have that pic for you soon!

Good morning everyone. It's still raining and windy up here.

Good to see you here again, Moonie. Come back soon!

I'm pleased to say that I did manage to get some sleep last night, and feel better this morning. I hope everyone else slept well.

Summer, it can be difficult when you have guests who stay really late, not realising that you want to go to bed. You should have told Mr Summer to go put some PJs on, to pass the hint.

El, I hope your course is interesting and the time passes quickly.

 

 

The bathroom pics are lovely, Summer. Where did you find the mirror, it's very unusual and has an antique feel to it?

Good morning everyone, I am so glad you managed to get some sleep last night Yogi

 

Summer that colour is so similar to mine, and you have the same taps as me.  Do you remember I just bought new taps?  Well I must have copied you.  I love the idea of pink towels with white spots on.  I love the idea of Mr Summer strolling in in his pyjamas as a gentle hint.

 

Good luck on your tax course EL, I hope you don't

Nice bathroom, Summer

(and the same toothbrush as mine )

 

Thank you all
I'm having a little chuckle to myself about our matching bathrooms & toothbrushes, we must all have good taste
There's an old set of 4 wicker drawers that I'm going to give a makeover too, I can get started on that tomorrow. I'm just in the mood to get my sewing machine out.

Yogi, the mirror is from a website called Dibor, they do all French/country style products. It's a top secret of my sister in law's (shes very much into shopping & interiors) and apparently I'm quite privelidged that she told me about it she knew that one good mirror would set the tone for the whole makeover though, so I treated myself.

Yogi, I'm glad you slept better last night doesn't it make a huge difference to how you feel the next day?

Summer, my dentist recommended that I get an Oral-B electric toothbrush and the one I've got is a Professional Care 3000 one.

 

I'm off to that course - see you later

Mr summer bought our toothbrushes after his dentist recommended them, I love mine

One if my SIL's is sending me pics of mr summer as a child, I've never seen them before
