Oh dear, not like you Urmston. I hope there's some improvement. Is it a neuralgia pain or one that needs antibiotics ? A grumbling tooth anywhere ? No wonder you feel down. 
Urmstongran so sorry to hear you are still suffering, earache is such a horrible pain
Good Morning All x.
Wet and miserable after a lovely day yesterday---but you can't have everything especially at this time of the year. A bit breezy too, but again, not that cold.
It's taken me all of an hour to read the posts and I still won't be any the wiser as to who wrote what 
but I do get the gist, so much going on in my mind particularly after yesterdays fiasco when the chap came to read the water meter.
Over the years, the water company has been the bain/ bane of my life and each time I received my bill I've always rang them to query it, saying that the usage was wrong and always met with excuses about increases etc.
It was ten years when a meter was fitted outside to save any inconveniences and yesterday when the chap was here he'd said that it was fitted with the " wrong code " ! Great ! More duff workmanship----do these things only happen to me ?
Anyway, after half an hour of the chap feeding the information from my inside meter he said his IPad hadn't worked and he'd have to do it all over again. However after some cursing he suddenly said," oh it has gone through alright". On his way out I then told him not to expect the bill to be paid before Christmas and he then said " I wouldn't be paying anything at all ". So, will I get back ten years of overpayments ? I won't hold my breath !"
I'm not a heavy-user of water, having a shower only as opposed to a bath and the washing machine isn't used to excess. Besides that, there's only myself. What a load of plonkers at the water board.
Ah well, we'll see what today brings. I do think D may pop in today as it's her Birthday tomorrow, 57, good grief. This is what happens when you have your children in your early 20's, though I wouldn't have had it any other way----get it over and done with . D in Oz will be 60 next month !
One of her B/day presents is delayed ( in the post ) but I do have a bottle of champers for her here.
New potatoes to go with my fish dinner today instead of chips, by way of a change.
More wrapping to do today and last night I noticed a couple of stray cards which I hadn't posted---how did that happen ? Mind you, if you saw the clutter around me, you'd understand. A cat wouldn't find its kittens amongst it
I wish everyone a worry-free day and take care when out and about. Stay safe. Thoughts to our absent friends who are possibly feeling low, Gilly especially xx
Good morning everyone. It's wet and murky in the Gower. It hasn't got yet I think the forecasters are right with amber warning ?
My dental appointment yesterday keep to the inevitable, I had to have a molar extracted ?. I knew going bump in the night would one day catch up with me ?. Maybe I need a net to catch me rather than a mattress on the floor ?
Hope the hospital visitt goes well today harrigran and I hope the side effects of your medication ease Nortsat, methinks you may be doing too much Marydoll - please rest ?
Happy birthday to your DD NannyJan and your DS harrigran ?.
Love the Christmas decoration Lins, very special ☺️
Last parcel to post today and I really must write my WP's Christmas card! 
, then it's off round to post cards tin the letter boxes of some of our lovely neighbours.
Stay safe and cosy everybody ❤️
Good morning Mick, morning all, it’s mild but wet here in South Lanarkshire.
Enjoy your magazine Mick.
We actually went into a supermarket yesterday as DD has asked if I will make my usual Christmas ham for her even although we won’t be there to share it. I didn’t want to leave it to the supermarket picker to put one in my delivery so ran in, chose one and ran out again. We will take the glazed ham to her when we visit their garden on Christmas Eve as one of the children will be turning 5 on that day. It will back lovely memories of the Christmas Eve spent baking with her siblings whilst their mother was in labour. DD brought her home four hours after giving birth and the next day appeared downstairs in a black dress, red lipstick, with beautifully blow dried hair to have Christmas dinner with us, her brother and partner and her parents in law. DD’s motto has always been ‘Get up, get dressed, get going’!
Please don’t anyone feel the need to apologise for telling us about going out to restaurants, I enjoy hearing about life in lower tiers/levels, it reminds that there will be a more normal life in time.
What a precious decoration Lins and a very pretty little angel Norsat, lovely to have such things to keep.
Best wishes to your DD for her scan Ginny.
Marydoll we, well I say we but really it was himself, had a similar experience in the spring. He says to me ‘I’ve ordered a couple of shrubs from Dobies website’.......‘I didn’t know Dobbies had a website’ says I. Several weeks later I suggested he ring Dobbies as said shrubs hadn’t materialised, I looked up the number of Dobbies, a garden centre about 15 miles from us, he looked at his order and found he’d ordered from Dobies, a nursery several hundred miles away. It was just another of those farcical conversations!
Have a good Friday everyone.
Oh Marydoll you worry too much - nobody could accuse you of wallowing!!
Bellasnana and for all those feeling sad. On Monday, our wedding anniversary, the days start getting longer and spring is round the corner - with the vaccination hopefully!
Good morning from Malta where it is sunny and the sky is a delicate pale blue.
My weekly hairdo today, not that I feel much like it. As Ashcombe says, tears are not very far away. I wish I could stop thinking about it but I’m fretting most of the night as well, so just feel like a wet rag.
My DD2 has posted her latest Christmas cookie orders, too many for me to bore you with, but I will add a couple. Also my dog Buzz in his Christmas present which arrived yesterday. A cosy new bed.
I will read all your posts when I get back as there are quite a number to go through.
Taichinan, you asked yesterday about the driving in Malta. Well it’s worse than ever and there are too many cars on the road for such a small island, accidents are commonplace although mostly just ‘fender benders’ fortunately.
Hope you all have the best day you can.☀️
