and welcome to the newcomers to this amazing slice of life

What a lovely thing to sat GrannySomerset! So true too.

A late good morning from a still soggy Glasgow.

A warm welcome to newbies.

Silly pair just setting up camp in an unknown area Mommawolf. Under Scottish law if someone crosses your land and are injured by any livestock it is at their own risk and you are not liable. Only dog attacks are the owner’s responsibility. Hope the same law applies for you?

DH ordered a new mattress which arrived yesterday. It’s one on those folded up in a box ones?. (Super king size)?
Who orders a huge jack-in-the-box mattress??

Any chance of those adorable GCs helping you with a clean up gilly??. On second thoughts, from experience, that only creates more work so, past caring is the way to go just now.
Everything still crossed for you both?

I was caught up in a traffic jam for over an hour yesterday, police and ambulance shooting about, blues and sirens. Fortunately I reached my slip road eventually and didn’t witness the accident. Torrential rain but still a lot of idiots speeding and others without sidelights on! Beggars belief.

Best wishes to those of you with struggles today, thinking of Lucky especially.

Hope all is ok with you Baggs and the pain has subsided enough to let you get on a bit better.

Morning Mick et al....just.

Hello to the newbies (not long a newbie myself), and flowers to all those in need of a cheer up.

Urmston, same here...I bought a large bag of onions to go with it grin. Anyway, I’ve made some changes and also on statins, so that helps a lot.

Marydoll you’ve set me off and I’m baking hot cross buns!

Have a good day one and all xx

Urmstongran Thu 20-Feb-20 12:07:08

Oh god WillyNilly I’m so dim! I read your post about ‘onions to go with it’ and thought ‘what? With porridge?’ Then thought are onions helpful to eat to reduce the fat? FINALLY the penny dropped!!

Liver & onions ??

I’m so slow sometimes ....

Willynilly Thu 20-Feb-20 12:09:10

Haha oh well, at least my attempt at humour wasn’t in vain Urmston smile

Good news Urmstongran - now get those flights booked........grin

Beechnut Thu 20-Feb-20 12:39:52

I’ve got FL too Urmston and glad you worked out about the onions as I didn’t get it either. When all was revealed I did it funny Willynilly.

Beechnut Thu 20-Feb-20 13:13:42

Rufus is back. He’s been in hospital.

Urmstongran Thu 20-Feb-20 13:33:06

We are Pantglas! Spain ... here we come (soon). Woohoo!
Beechnut so glad I’m not on my own there re the joke.
It was a good ‘un!

Auntieflo Thu 20-Feb-20 13:48:18

I am another who had to have the joke explained. ?
Oh well, I have been sat up in my sewing room. DH has just made a lovely sandwich for lunch, and I will have a couple of cups of tea, then return to my isolation, where I am making a lot of mess!
It has been absolutely chucking the rain down for an hour or so no going out later, and the washing will have to dry indoors.

Glad to hear that Rufus2 is back Beechnut. Been missing his posts.

Good news gillybobs?

Must admit I was a trifle worried when I read that you had snow in the NE.

But I'm sure you would have commandeered a snow plough, to give the surgeon a lift to work.

Wishing you both better times ahead x
