Glad everything went off O.K. Mel, keep us informed of the result on Friday.
You certainly had a run around. Its the same here at the moment. Road works at the main road leading to Northampton General. queues for about 1/2 mile. In the paper yesterday the tempory lights had stuck. and it made it even worse.

Jane, I don't know where you could hang your NUTS, to keep the squirrel of them.!!!!! have you tried a straight side of a wall. That would be difficult for him to reach.???? or an upstairs window sill.

Very cold a frosty here today. Friday is going down to minus 7 degrees at night. !!!!

What a dull old day !! but at least its dry and no frost .

Glad it went ok yesterday for you Mel .

Hubby has been to the hospital today ,he had to see the Physio about the pain he's been having in his arm and shoulder ,she seems to think that its just general wear and tear ,or in other words he's getting worn out !!! she told him to go swimming !! Brrrrr .

Grandma Jane !!! thats lovely , cheeky squirrel ,pinching the birds nuts .

Well my dentist appointment has been changed twice ,should have gone today ,but it was changed to the 7th Dec ,then she rang to say that it was booked in error and they had doubled booked that date , so now i go on the 3rd Dec , i don't mind as i'll now see the lady dentist that did the check up, and she was very nice .

Just had a look to see what christmas paper i have, didn't realise i had so much !! i bought it last year when it was half price !! cards too.

I'm back Frank you poor lonely soul.Have been to town to exchange a couple of things and to the pet shop.They have some of the sweetest Rabbits and Guineapigs .I wanted to bring them home.

Yes Jane , i hope we don't get to much !!!!

I'm that cold I'm sitting with a hot water bottle on my feet. Hope the snow doesn't come this far south, I hate driving in the snow.

Still haven't made a start on Christmas, must get myself motivated, I usually get the tree in and decorated by the beginning of December.

Thank you Frank, will look forward to watching the DVD's and like with the books if anyone else would like them, I will forward them on. Have only read one of the books, got sidetracked with another book called Fingersmith, I can't put it down, so will include that one as well Ann when I've read the other EastEnd books.

Hi nice day here Shirl hope Wayne and og are ok.
Jessica is in Wales so it is difficult to keep a eye on her eating habits.No Mat to make her eat and so I am hoping now the doctor I saw will visit her.
The other daughter gets upset loosing her baby and says Jessica should eat but telling her is not easy she gets upset. I do not think she is ready for another baby. Thanks to you and Jane for the concern x

Mel glad your xray was fine and it is good news what is the problem.??

Jane that lizzard was cute what a shame I hope it was dead but poor little lizzard. The colours on his tum were interesting. We never get anything like that in our garden.

Enjoyed the jungle last night. I have my son staying with us at the moment
and enjoying his company.
I have been listening to Gilda O Neill on audio its great the print in the
book is so small. Our Street its called and described really well fantastic.

It's certainly cold out there!.I just realised all the radiators were cold.The boiler had gone off.It has been behaving itself for several weeks.Fingers crossed it will not pack up in these freezing temps.
I have been good and been writing my Cards,but have run out so I'll have to get some more tomorrow when I go to the hairdressers.
I think we will have a reasonably early dinner so better make a start.

Just seen on the news there's SNOW in Norwich !!!

Nothing here as yet !!

Oh Heck! Mandy.Have you got your shovel ready lol.It may be heading your way.
I just hope we get to this wedding on Sunday.I think it will be ok as it looks like no snow that day.

Evening All,

What a perishing day. We were looking at a garden centre near Nottingham today and they had a new pets section, so we had a mooch round. The animals all looked warm and cosy with their little houses full of hay and woolly stuff. They had some chickens outside too, fancy Bantam types, but different to Mels. One was light brown with white speckles. Then we called at a Wy*ale garden centre on the way back and I used my £8 in vouchers to get a nice Skimmia shrub, variegated leaf and deep pink flower buds. We had a bite to eat there, then It was nice to get home and be inside in the warm and in some comfy old clothes!!!.

Glad you didn't have to wait long for your xray Mel and at least you don't have to wait long for the results. Hope your next journey there is easier.

Thank you Maureen and Frank.......look forward to them all in good time when you have read them!

Mandy, sounds like you may get the white stuff first!! After all those years of no snow, now we're getting it 2 years on the trot.

9.36pm

I see there has been SNOW in Luton, Beds. could be heading ourway Jane, so look out. No.1 son predicted this weather over two weeks ago. Should keep it to himself.
Where have you got to go on Sunday Jane, SCOTLAND !!!! ??? I don't think anywhere south will get that bad. Just trying to get out of it. lol

I ordered something off Ebay yesterday lunchtime. and it arrived 10.am this morning. Service or what !!

Maureen you should get those DVDs tomorrow, posted yesterday.

9.43pm
Its taken forever to get on here ,its so slow ,no snow here ,just rain
will say night night now xx

21.47pm

Will it be WHITE in the morning....... I doubt it. I'm off to beddy-byes now too. The cold seems to make me tired. Night, night zzzzzzzzzz

Just caught up with your posts.

OH started on the study today so he moved his desk after putting up some coving round the ceiling one side and moved his desk over there. We have had the internet off all day so I have'nt been able to see your posts or write any.

Sheila I do hope the doc keeps his eye on Jessica well if she is not eating. Just remind her when you speak to her that it is part of Matt that she is carrying and he would want her to eat for the babies sake. I do hope evrything goes ok for her. My thoughts and prayers are with her.

I have managed to get a bit more stuff away in cupboards and got the cleaner to do me a bit of ironing today.

Her sister in law came this morning and measured the windows in our bedroom as she is shortening the curtains I bought and making me frills to go over both windows out of what she cuts off the bottom. I was hoping for a bit of fabric left to make a couple of cushion covers but not sure now if I will get any. Also forgot to ask about how much it was going to cost me!!

Ann it is so nice to come home and put on sloppy clothes. I do exactly the same thing! Otherwise I start the dinner and always get some oil on my jumper or tomato which is awful to get out if it has dried.

I have to make the advent ring for this Sunday for church so you won't see me much until it is done. I have managed to find my stubb wires and wire cutters and other bits needed and now I just have to find the stand I oput it on else I shall have to use one that is already in the church.

23.54pm.

Night night!! Sleep tight you lot. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Good morning ,
8.32pm

We have had a little flurry of snow over night and this morning ,i can see it on the cars ,but the roads ,paths and gardens are snow free, i think it is because they were wet from the rain we had in the evening .
It doesn't seem to be freezing out there .

Toby went out and had a wee, when he came in he had snow on his back which he then went on to shake over me !!

Off to do some shopping later so i hope we don't get any more snow .
Anyone else got snow ?

8.46am.

Morning Mandy and All,
We've had little balls of powdered snow on the frost this morning. They look like those peppermint pips without the pink ones!! Sun is shing too and I have just fed the wild birds as they did'nt have much out there.
