Evening.





Seems fun.

hiya Fredsters   Hope you have all had a great day.  It's been rather nippy here in the Midlands but I got my washing dry. 

DB, I watched the chefs in action haha.  What a lovely video.  Was that in Freddie's kitchen at the mansion?  Loved the blue Aga type cooker.

It seems like it's been cold all over today.  Fig, what are you getting up at 4.30am for?  I bet it was nippy around about that time this morning haha. Hiya to squiggs (the computer game queen and snazzy driver haha),  to Justa, Yogi, Joy (tis great to hear your lad is doing so well joy) and all the brill Freddie fans in this thread xx

Hi Joyron, lots of rain but no flooding where I live. It must be awful for the poor souls who have been flooded out.
Hello Twee, Darlo, Justa, Squiggle and Fig

Signing out for the night.  Hope all my lovely Freddie friends sleep well.  Speak again tomorrow.   XXXX

Goodnight Joyron, sweet dreams.

Hallo and goodnight to all you lovely Freddsters, I've got a scratchy throat, hope I'm not going down with the dreaded lurgy, loads of my friends have it
Speak to you all tomorrow

Goodnight Squiggle. Try some Glycerin, Honey and Lemon for your sore throat.

hello everyone.
hope its nothing serious squiggs, you just dont need to be ill right now.
well done on reversing your car

hiya justa LTNS   I hope Squiggs avoids this cold thing.  When I have a tickly throat and can't sleep, I get some of those little Tic Tac sweets (the mint ones) and pop it in my mouth when I lie down and that eases my throat and allows me to sleep.  They are so small that there is little fear of choking on them if you fall asleep before you actually finish it.  I wish I could have told Squiggs this before she went offline tonight.

Anyway Justa, I hope you are well.  Any news re RAF? 

I seem to have missed all the early-to-bed peeps tonight, and where is fig?  If she gets up at 4.30am, she must be well and truly tucked up for the night just now.

I am off now myself Justa.  Speak tomorrow.

Goodnite all Freddie fans

yep fig must be soundo by now  having lots of sweet dreams i guess (about chickens)
i hear from Mr Raf every other day by email,  he says hes fine.
anyway night night twee,

oooh Justa, he's keen .. good on ya! 

Like you say, fig is probably dreaming of chickens as we type haha.

I really am going offline now as I am really tired .. night night love xxx

Ref: Justafriend Han you would have had to laugh if you could have seen me though, stalling and everything!  Lucky we live down a quiet lane and there was no-one to see me.

 You might need some woolly socks too! Oh and DB you might like some long johns here you go!They are suitably decorated with footballs and pictures of Bon Jovi!

Good morning, Freddie fans.
* leaves packet of Strepsils for Squiggle*

Hello to all my lovely Freddie friends.  Squiggle I hope you are feeling better today, and that you have not developed the "lurgy" as feared.

Figtree I hope the shopping went well.  I've not ventured out of the house for several days as the weather is rotten but I wll have to go out tomorrow, so I hope we get a better day then.  Speak later.   XXX

I assume everyone is busy today but felt I had to rescue this thread before it went onto page two, which is a complete and utter "No No".  Hope you have all had a good day.  Speak later.   XXXX

Hi!Evening all! Popped in to give the old thread a little tweak!Shopping done and dusted! Ahhhhhh!

Doing shopping OH staggers up with this gi-normous load of loo rolls, me said'we don't need that many' him.... bbbbbbut they're only 2.99 ! I  and said 'don't think so sonny Jim,not for that many!' so I took them back from whence they came and discovered that far from being 2.99 for that lot he had only picked up the unsplit load and it would be 2.99 for 1/5th of the gi-normous packet that he was about to load onto the trolly!hehe!
He's dead good in the kitchen too [cough] The other day I asked him to make 2 holes in a tin of evap' milk! Easy peasy! got on with what I was doing then I heard this loud tap,turned round and caught him trying to make 2 holes with.......... a hammer and chistle!

He isn`t a Domestic God then?

Glad to hear you had such a good day's shopping Figtree.  Signing out for the night.  Will speak to all my lovely Freddie Friends tomorrow.  XXXX

Not stopping cos' it's blooming cold in here so I am going to go and warm my tootsies!
So I will be communicating with you on the morrow at the first opportunity{how formal was that?}
Night petalpops take care now!

big hello and hugs for squiggs fig joy twee yogi and our darlo.

Good morning to all my wonderful Freddie friends.  The sun is shining this morning so hopefully it will be a much nicer day.  I'm off to the shops this morning and will speak to you all later.  XXX

Morning all!

Hows you Squiggywigs.Hope the old throat is a bit better! Are you getting use to your car gears yet? Must seem quite strange after using an automatic!!You'll be fine!

Hey Jo' don't spend too much! Idid yesterday!Hope you are well!

morning to all

Afternoon everyone.  Squiggle I do hope you are feeling better today.  How is the car going?  Figtree, I didn't spend very much.  Bad shopping day, couldn't find half of what I wanted.  Better luck next time, I hope.   XXX

You should have asked me to go shopping with you..... I would have spent it! On your behalf of course!

Hi fredsters!

Hi, especially to joyron and figgers who enquired about the new car.  I went for a little drive and I am already getting used to it.  Sore throat, so far, seems to have gone, so that's good.  I can't post a pic I don't think, silly system but there we go, anyway its really in good nick and I hope will keep going for a couple of years.  I don't think I have mentioned yet that the features this car has got for its age is amazing.  Power steering, electric windows and mirrors and a sun roof.  Its a Mazda 323 GLX which was evidently top of the range when it was new.  What a lucky find, its bright red and gleaming.

hiya Freddie fans   Sqiggs, your car sounds really lovely and you have been lucky to get it.  And red too   It's also good to hear you are not badly affected by your cold.  You can do without that!

hiya DB, fig (the spendthrift), justa, joyron (runner-up spendthrift) and Yogi.  Hope you are all well.  It's very cold here in the Midlands today but I am all toasty in my little nest.

Evening Twee, Justa, Fig, Joyron, Darlo and Squiggle
Finally, after three very stressful weeks, my decorating is coming to an end. The Shades Blinds man will be fitting my new vertical blinds tomorrow and (hopefully) my new suite will arrive in 10-12 days time (it will be five weeks late by then). Next time I say I`m going to decorate, somebody stop me!

hiya yogi.  It sounds like things are starting to come together for you.  You will have your new suite by Xmas I expect.  I bet your blinds will be worth waiting for.  Once you start decorating, you cannot stop.  One things leads to another.  I started in about May this year and I was still touching up with paint three months later.  I started one bedroom but ended up doing all three haha. 

Anyway, I hope you are pleased with your blinds tomorrow.  What sort of suite have you had?

We chose two and three seater sofas in burgundy leather. Hubby is sulking a little bit because he won`t have "his chair" any more.

aw, has he got a favourite chair yogi?  I have two separate settees, and no chairs.  But I still have my favourite spot.  He will get used to it haha.  Your suite sounds absolutely lovely and you can get lanolin wipes for leather now.  I done my cream suites at the weekend and they came up lovely.  Did you get a pouffe?

We didn`t buy a pouffe but now that you`ve metioned it, I might get one. I`m sure hubby would like to put his feet up.

Thanks for the tip about the lanolin wipes.

Ooh decorating that sounds fun Yogi. Evening everyone.

yogi, I bought my sofas off my son when he moved house and they are a lovely cream leather.  They came with a pouffe and it is one of those that opens up.  I keep my telephone directories in it and bits and pieces.  It's good for storing stuff but mine is hard to shift because there is so much in it haha.  They are great for putting your tray down on and also for putting your feet on.  My son paid a lot of money for them and he let me have them for a pittance.

Yours sound a far better idea - burgundy - so they won't need wiping so much but I would recommend those lanolin wipes - they have left my sofas and pouffe lovely and shiny.
