[A Small World]

Good morning everyone - its been snowing here :yay:

[torsie24]

Morning all! Snow here too!!!

[gemmybear83]

I've not had any snow :sad2: !

Are you flat hunting?

[A Small World]

Morning Torsie - Ive got a day off work today so am having a duvet morning :banana:

Unfortunately there isnt enough snow to make a snowman or play in it properly

[Ware Bears]

Morning all! :goodvibes
I've had NO sleep.... Roberts been ill all night and has kept me awake... :headache:

Oh no, two poorly people, hope both he and Diane are feeling better soon. :grouphug:

Good morning everyone - its been snowing here :yay:

Wow!! We hardly ever get snow down here these days, even if it does fall it doesn't settle. My youngest DD is 12 and the only time she has ever been able to play in the snow is when we went to DLRP that Christmas. Maybe this year will be different .......

[torsie24]

I've not had any snow :sad2: !

Are you flat hunting?
Yeah, last nights was the really cheap one, needless to say its cheap for a reason.

Very small and grotty.

As we're renting and wont be able to decorate or anything I'm going to have to go for a place thats decorated nicely (and clean!) so I think my original budget was right and I wont be able to go for anything cheaper and be happy..

Totally agree when your renting - you just want to live in something nice with no hassles!

Wish I had thought of that when we bought our house though as it needed a complete redecoration!

[Ware Bears]

Looks very nice from the outside. :goodvibes

[Dianetigger]

Good morning everyone - its been snowing here :yay:

Morning!
Just popped on before heading to work, very cold and frosty here but no snow! Not fair!!

Have a great morning everyone, I've got to take DS into college after work this morning to sort his funding out then Mum would like to nip to Iceland, gives me the excuse to go hunting in the craft shop near there! :cool1:

Thats the beauty of buying though. :) It'll be worth it for you guys.

[gemmybear83]

Thats the beauty of buying though. :) It'll be worth it for you guys.

Yes thats what we tell ourselves - and we couldnt have afforded the location/size if it was redecorated anyway. At least it will look like "ours" when its all finally finished!

[torsie24]

Looks very nice from the outside. :goodvibes

Oooh that looks lovely I like the setting!

Thanks :)

It's driving me mad not knowing at all what the inside's like though!

Although everyone at the estate agent is gushing about it, lol. I just hope if we do like it we can have it.

[Dianetigger]

Morning all! :goodvibes Oh no, two poorly people, hope both he and Diane are feeling better soon. :grouphug:


Hope Robert feels better soon Bob. My cough kept waking me up but I managed to sleep okayish til around 3am, then I tossed and turned til 6ish and then managed another couple of hours. Head feels alittle clearer this morning as well.

I really wouldn't leave it there. If she's said all this and you have it in emails, show them to her boss (Print them so they won't go 'missing') and lodge a formal complaint.

Morning Cap'n.

I jsut spent AGES scraping snow off my car that had frozen solid!!

My doors were frozen shut and my windsrceen wipers had frozen too!! Horrible way to strt the day :(

[Bolanette87]

I'm sat here trying to work out where to get £500 from.... I've just found a great deal for DLRP in Jan.... 3 nights plus flights- £502....

I could theoretically book it but nobody would get any Christmas presents!!

Visit your nearest pound shop and a buy a keychain torch thing... Mine came with a little metal prong that heats up just enough to melt the ice in door keyholes.... Very useful!!

I hate it when the water freezes in my washer line thingys.... I had to stand and hold them with gloved hands last year (In the snow!) until they thawed!! :headache:

Morning all. Just a flying visit.
Cap'n, I would challenge this as she is implying that you are unreliable and unprofessional. I would say that this response is churlish at best. Besides, you don't know what she is saying to her line manager about you. If she is saying the same sort of thing, it doesn't create a very positive profile of you, does it? Good luck!

[A Small World]

Oh dear - you obviously live too far north ;)

That's what I thought, I've never done that before so it just seemed a little odd to say that

[Bolanette87]

Medway is still below the Watford Gap!

According to a lot of Southerners I've met there is no life above the Watford Gap! :lmao:

When I went to see the Boosh in Sheffield, Noel Fielding informed the heckler who was yelling in a very Yorkshire accent that anything North of Watford 'just sounds like bubbles' to him!!

True - but, if I was to walk about 10 minutes south, I'd be swimming in the channel :lmao:

Yes we did, wasn't really feeling up to it to be honest, really bad stomach pains just before (and still now) we left. I have a feeling it could be down to the BP tablets, the registrar upped my dosage from 5mg to 10mg yesterday - I'm not sure whether to take the tablet again tomorrow and see if the same happens or just go back to the 5mg and ring next week when my regular doctor is in. I've been in bed for a couple of hours since we got back and now have a wheat bottle on my tum, had some dry toast to see if that helps calm it down.

[A Small World]

Oh dear you sound in a bad way :hug:

[Dianetigger]

Oh dear you sound in a bad way :hug:

I'm totally fed up to be honest, the pains are the same that I had when the antibiotics I was prescribed were too strong (but I had the sickness then as well). I've hardly eaten anything today so I know it's not that.

Yes I'm sure if you liked the first two you will like the new one. It's just sad that they have now graduated and are going their separate ways! I thought they had plans to make a fourth but presumably with new people.

[A Small World]

I liked the original the best but DD loves them both so Im sure she'll like this one equally as much.
Im sure Ive heard that number 4 is going to be with different people as well

So did you not like the one you looked at tonight?

[gemmybear83]

Evening everyone. I've still not had any snow :sad2:

[mummyal]

Has anyone seen HSM3 yet?

DD and I went to see it yesterday and I really enjoyed it (think I enjoyed it more than she did lol)! The atmosphere was great in the cinema as well, esp towards the end. Lots of cheering & clapping & yay-ing lol.. and a few kids were dancing at the front.

How was the one tonight? Was it as nice as it looks from the outside?

[mummyal]

I'm totally fed up to be honest, the pains are the same that I had when the antibiotics I was prescribed were too strong (but I had the sickness then as well). I've hardly eaten anything today so I know it's not that.

Hope you're feeling better very soon :hug:

[ukstitch]

Evening everyone. I've still not had any snow :sad2:

Join the club, though I'm surprised that you've not had any snow living where you do...

[A Small World]

DS1 was not impressed by our 'snow' this morning - he had to wait on the station 50mins this morning for the train to turn up

[BRobson]

Our snow quickly turned to rain - but it is still freezing out :confused3

[gemmybear83]

I live very central, so its a few degrees warmer than outlying areas - the pollution keeps me warm :rotfl:

Does DS1 take the trains regularly? That sounds like standard train service to me ;) :rotfl2:

Yes every day but they are usually quite good and regular.

[ukstitch]

Yes every day but they are usually quite good and regular.

Then that's not a train ;)

Either that, or your trains are not managed by company F, who are never on time as far as my experience can tell... I used to use company F every day and maybe 50% of the trains I took would be late :rolleyes1

Thats because we're up North you see. Everything is more reliable up here :rotfl:

Is anybody else doing anything for the breast cancer charity pink day on Friday?

Somebody in work managed to get it approved to let us all get away with wearing pink into work, plus we have no customers in that day, so can dress accordingly :rotfl:

Unfortunately for you Mrs Small World (and any others hoping for a picture) - I wish to keep my public dignity in tact, so will not be publishing a photo of me and my pink to the world (unless it's subtle, in which case it's not interesting enough to publish a photo anyway).

I've just started looking at a couple of pages of MSc notes and they've suddenly started talking about DLP :goodvibes

There is a great thread over on the UK community board they are reporting the bargains they are finding!!!

If you go to www.hmv.co.uk you will find loads of Disney DVDs for £4.99

and Bailleys in Adsa at the moment £5 a bottle ;)

Yes... Just make sure you don't stray beyond the DLRP board, then maybe the you-know-what might visit some other people while they're here.

Ooo, were they good? My Mam loves Colin Fry..... She's got a signed book by him....

Bob xoxox

I was VERY impressed with him, seriously has made me wonder about things!!:scared1:
I can't express how brilliant TJ Hicks was, she is amazing also! I felt so drained after though because I was crying!:rotfl: (well to be honest I reckon you woulda have to have been a tough cookie not to have felt like that:sad1: )
There was NO way they were making up the stuff as they went along they were defo 'hearing' something!!!!! And the amount of things they both said that only that certain person would know was unbelievable ie TJ knew that a young lass kept a wee note her fiance had left before he died in the zip part of her bag in a little pocket. And Colin knew things that people had said to themselves out loud in their own house when they were talking to their loved ones (he knew WHEN they said it too and what rooms they were in when they were saying it). I came out of there feeling pretty truamatised! Thank goodness no one came to me because there was no way on earth I was going to be able to talk!

Oh and he was wearing a kilt (mmmm lovelyyyyy) and after the show he walked past me and he is smaller than me!!;) He was signing his books:)

I went there hoping it would have been good and it was better than that, I swear I can't believe they could make that up, its just not possible!

Sorry for going on and on about it but there was abit where Colin got upset, you could hear it in his voice, he was talking to a young boy that past over and he wanted to speak to his mum (he was only 10 years old) and his mum was there (with his wee sister and dad) and there was stuff his mum whispered to him while he was in hospital and Colin knew exactly what she said!!

Anyway I better go I've yapped too much:) !

Thanks. I will keep an eye on the refurb stuff here as I have a mac too. I quite like the idea of getting it laser etched for free from here.

I will be off to Asda to check out the £5 Baileys too!

You must have strong hands to carve a butternut squash. I can just about peel one. I admit I have no upper body strength - it's shameful!

That reminds me, we still have our pumpkin to do.

We stll want to see piccies :goodvibes

I will get a carving kit. I was thinking I'd manage with an icecream scoop and a vegetable knife.:rotfl: I bet they're all sold out tomorrow.

Bob, yours are great. I might try to do a little one like your huey.

I've just made her a Blue Sapphire Martini so she's feeling better already....! ;)

Bob xoxox

Awww bless, best way though to feel better!;)

:laughing: thats fab names, how long did it take you to make them? I might try next year:) We have a shortage of pumpkins and apples here!;)

I am sure Tesco will have one or two left ;)

I was looking for Disney pictures and found this: jls4.com/portfolio/images/disney_stencils_05.jpg

I am terrible at links,lol. You could carve a Mickey pumpkin! I have never carved a pumpkin. I have no confidence and I'm sure it would just end up as a pulpy mess.

Give it a go! I thought I'd be rubbish as well but just carving the usual 'jack-o-lantern' face is pretty easy. I attempted the 'castle' one this year and I kinda botched it up but it still looks ok from a distance. Then I did the usual face on the other side lol.

I thought they'd be a waste of time the carving kits... I really wish I'd got one now!!

I just love the little pumpkins.... They're cute!

Love the spooky face Alice! I can never do those jagged mouths- I always shred the pumpkin in half when I try! :sad2:

Wow ~ I'm impressed with all the pumpkins.

I rate the kit from Asda too. We got ours several years ago and its still going strong!

[mummyal]

Thanks. That was the template which came with the pumpkin lol.

I must get a kit for next year. I thought I cld manage with just my small knife (I did the past couple of years but then, I only did normal faces) but was quite tricky this year with the castle...which is why the sides of the roofs are a bit 'straight', without any 'dips' and 'sticky out bits' on them:rotfl:

[Bolanette87]

Night Night all!
