Ann, had ham and cheese toastie in M & S for breakfast this morning. Was out by 8.40. By the time I shopped there were queues at each till. :-(

Bought two Xmas jumpers ready for next Friday so I can join in the fun when we get together for Xmas Jumper Day. :-D :-D. I look the part in mine but OH is refusing to wear his :-( :-P. Never mind, I'll return it and pick something else for myself :-D. That'll larn him :-D

Are you all in keeping warm this afternoon? We had ice on the windscreen this morning so I was wondering if anyone else had it.

Broadband and landline went down again this morning now everything is up and running and BT inform me that I should have no more problems. I wonder how long for.

Off to the shops now.

GP

Hiya JL :-) <3 :-D You jumped in there like a Japanese sniper. :-D :-D :-D ;-) Hope you can stand the cold up here at the moment.

GP

Hi GP. Not feeling the cold. Wrapped up when I go out and the house is always warm. How about you?

The winds blowing today though. It was 2 C outside just before 7 this morning and it feels as though there is snow in the air now, but none yet.

II hope the problems you have had connecting stay well and truly fixed. :-D

Barb SG, love the Xmas pud. :-D <3

I am back from the mad house which is our local retail park...got a few more pressies for OH cos I ain't really got him much...popped into M & S food again for some ham and coleslaw for me tea....Tesco was heaving so I bypassed there didn't even pick up me paper :-(

Got home and The post office had tried to deliver me parcels....so am just going to give them a call to re deliver cos can't be bothered going to the mail office :-D :-D :-D

'Muhaydin Mire & knife crime; local flooding; Government Ministers holding-up rescue attempts while they visit the sites of misery; Katie Hopkins backing Donald Trump.

Relax, we are told. Everything will be ok. We will give you some money for repairs. Things do not always go from bad to worse.

Meanwhile; feed the hungry; shelter the destitute homeless & asylum-seekers; say 'no' to Sharia law in the UK; keep hope alive'. :-S

You sound as if you're in a right quandary, Dermot.

Wassup? :-D

Afternoon everybody :-D :-D :-D :-D <3 <3 <3 <3

Phew! With much cursing, a few breakages and a kaput candle arch - I've got me decorations up! :-D :-D :-D

The new tree is a bit bigger so that gives me an excuse to buy a few more baubles. Every one of mine is different and have been collected over time, and in a few countries, so I'm on a mission for more tomorrow, plus a new candle arch. :-D ;-)

Hi Lyn, Our tree sound as though it's decorated like yours, with baubles from all over the globe. Ours is only three years old and I call it my default tree because it was the only tall one left in the store when Tesco told me that the one I ordered had been mysteriously cancelled the week before Christmas. Their fault and I was livid and refused to have a different one from them so went to Homebase near us where the choice was between three or four two-or-so feet high ones and one 8-feet high one. As the grandkids were coming over the next day to decorate it I had no time to go elsewhere. It looks good though and this year hubby and I decorated it ourselves - the first time for years.

We also have a wonderful pull-up tree, ready lit and baubled that I bought one year when some building work was finishing around 22 December and I could not be bothered with anything more. Hubby has it in the family room and he has draped coloured lights there too.

Daughter thinks 'his' room is like Santa's grotto and mine with warm white lights is more swish :-D :-D. That's daughters for you, they speak their minds while sons keep their traps shut :-D

I don't know about you but every year now, I wonder whether I should bother with anything other than the pull-up ready decorated tree but when I do, I'm always glad I did so. I just love Christmas. :-D
