My mum is a nightmare to buy for too, Renton. One year she suggested my dad buy a goat in her name (for one of the charities), my dad was like "I'm not buying you a goat for Christmas!". Anyway, he did get her a nice present and the charity got a donation, too.

LOL Goat Crimbo
I wud get a "You did wot with my money - you bloody idiot??"

Charity is one thing - but as a present - nope!

Are you all set YOGI ?

Afternoon to all my lovely Freddie friends.   I hope you are all doing okay today.  We didn't get anymore snow overnight but none of what we have had has melted yet.

The pictures are getting better and better.  It makes me feel very festive.  Will catch up again later (hopefully).  At least this weekend will be a little quieter, thank goodness. 

Nope. I was sooooooooo late in starting this year.  I have done the majority though, so I think I will be okay. * fingers crossed *

Hi Joyron, glad you are feeling Christmassy. No sign of snow here but we are supposed to get some tonight.

Evening everyone.  Hope your day has gone well.  Probably won't be back today, so I will catch up with you all again tomorrow.  Sleep tight. 

Oh dear page 2!  Night night everyone

All by myself, don't wanna be all by myself any more!

Good morning Squiggle.  I hope you are well.  Have you had any snow in your area?

Will speak again later.  XXX

Morning Joyron, I was beginning to think that everyone else in this 'ere Freddie Fan Club had gone on a charabanc to the North Pole to see Santa and had left me behind . No, no snow, thank goodness, as I would rather not slip on my way to church. How about round your way?

Morning Fredsters, sorry I didn't manage to get here last night because I had visitors.
There is a little bit of snow lying on the ground here and it's really cold. I wouldn't be surprised if we get more snow today.

Hi there Squiggs Jo jo ,Justa and rest of the Fredsters! Mighty cold again to day, lots of snow   which is very crunchie under foot! Brrrr  
  Twee we are still looking!
Sorry I am not with you in the evenings, it's freezing in the room where the pute is... even with a little convector heater the temp does not rise above 9c!
Mind you the rest of the house is no better! I go to bed early and watch tele' or read to keep from freezing! BTW not looking for sympo it's just a fact!

<- some thermals for Figtree.

Morning Yogi and Figtree.  Hope you are both okay, and not too cold.  We have not had anymore snow since Thursday night/Friday morning but because it is so cold there seems to be no chance of what we've got melting any time soon.


Mind you, did you here on the news that they have had 16 inches of snow in parts of the USA.  My penfriend lives near Boston so I'm sure she will have some tales to tell when I hear from her today!!


Hope to catch up with you all again later. 

Hi Joyron   My word, 16 inches of snow!   Your friend could build an igloo in that.

morning everyone its bitter out there and we had about another 3 inches of snow over night, i was up about 2 watching the snow and the cars trying to get up the hill we live on, have been good and me and mum checked on the lady next door whos 94. we just cant get to nan but she says shes fine. hope you all keeping warm. ive sent you some log johns fig hehe.

A nice warm fire to warm everyone up!

That looks nice and warm, Squiggle.

Freddie Fisher is very excited about gig tomorrow and meeting BOY GEORGE!!!


Just saw this on FB.


Hi everyone, wish this snow would go away...

When I was a kid me and my brother used to like to look into the flames and we were told when the sparks flew upwards it was a soldier going off to war!  We used to toast bread with a toasting fork too, nicer than a toaster somehow,

I remember toasting bread on the fire with my nana, aww happy memories, Squiggle.

Came in to say night, night before signing out.  Had an email from my penfirend in Colchester, Connecticut.  They have "officially" had 17 inches of snow overnight.  We think we get a lot of snow at times but I cannot remember ever seeing that much snow for once snowfall. 


Will catch up with you all again tomorrow.  Keep warm and sleep tight. 

hope everyones keeping warm the fires great squiggs. we had a little more snow tonight.

Hi Justa, we've had some more snow tonight. It looks pretty but it feels bitterly cold. Hubby isn't at home tonight so I'm taking a hot water bottle to bed with me.

yogi, its nasty outside here very icy, i will be on my way to bed soon to cuddle my spare pillow as always

Cuddles are good Justa, even if it's a pillow.

  
hi FredstersTa muchly for the thermals and long johns, bet I look attractive!
Have doubled the amount of wood shavings and straw in the chicken house but their water was still frozen  so I have put a big bowl inside a bigger bowl with wood shavings in between and hope that ,that works! I wonder do they make hotty botties for chickens?

Hi Fredsters, I decided to brave the snow after all and went to do some Christmas shopping with my youngest son. We did quite well, although I still have a couple of things to pick up.

Joyron, I hope you get on okay at the doctor's tomorrow and (just in case we aren't here at the same time) I wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas and a peaceful and happy New Year.

Figtree, I got you some skis 'cos it sounds like you might need them.
