............to create a quiet corner.

pompa *Bags may keep a crumb for me and a half chewed cherry, if I'm lucky!

The news of your friend's homecoming is special.

Great news pompa

It's a bit chilly, have we got a stove in here?

Very pleased to hear your news, pompa!

pompa good to hear that your friend is home.

This shed is beginning to sound like a very fattening place! Move up I'm coming in for a cuppa!

My wife is very pleased with herself, she has been nagging me to go to the Doc's with the cough and bad chest I have had for 3 weeks. I said "it will clear up on it's own" but, under duress, finally went to Doc's this morning, returned with anti-biotics for an infected chest .

Too bad, pomps! But you really should do what Mrs P tells you suggests sooner! Hope it clears up soon.

I've just opened a box of Guylian seashells. Anybody want one before they all vanish?

You haven't noshed the lot yet, have you*E*? Would love one

And me! I need one! I deserve one! Give!

Half of them are gone but if you pass them round QUICKLY so that they get back to me you can dip in. I can't open these without finishing the box.

MMmm I think there might be one left for you elegran

I was dipping with one hand while using the other to check whether anyone wanted the magazines I listed on Freeserve. They all have good homes to go to. The wildlife ones to a teacher with an easily distracted class on Friday afternoon doing predator-prey cut and paste, the New Scientists to a physics addict, the NTS and Scottish Heritage to his wife (presumably to keep her quiet while he reads the New Scientists)

For Freeserve read Freecycle.

elegran I am obsessed with Freecycle, but people do put some strange things on. Why would anyone want an Ikea pencil

I think some people just want to see their pseudonym in print.

I'm just back from ukelele band practice and feeling peckish. In real life I'm having 2 rice cakes for supper, so a couple of virtual chocolate shells will go down a treat.

I love freecycle too.

It's bloomin cold here, I've put my pyjamas over the bathroom radiator to warm up!

notso You will have to move fast to get one. I had to wrench the box out of glass's hand.

Strewth, I'm too late!

Glass has offered me the empty box to keep my rice crackers in. Nice.

Isn't it lovely how the Quiet Corner stays quiet in spite of all the chocolate box tugging

All busy munching those chocs.

Morning, Bags and Butter! Lovely day here..

Good morning! Looks as though we may have some blue sky today.

Good morning, everyone! Just starting to get some rain here in Manchester. If you can spare a little of your blue sky it would be appreciated

Good morning everyone, well its dull, damp and miserable this morning, hope it picks up as the school have a PTFA fundraiser bike/scooter ride in the woods this evening and as Mummy and Daddy are off for a weekend, Grandma and Grandad have to attend with the little ones, so hope its not wet.
Need some
