Hello Everyone smile
New thread here.
Thank you all so very much for your company on the first thread.
I'm looking forward to our half asleep, woozy 2am chats moonbrew

Didn't know Limericks had closed down. Thought it was one of those that only appeared spasmodically like the quiz fun ones. Must watch out of interest.

FannyCornforth Sun 14-Feb-21 01:40:18

Hi Molly & Kim
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean about the Limerick thread. Is there a message when you click on it?
What is the title of it, there's quite a few of them

FannyCornforth Sun 14-Feb-21 01:43:01

Had it reached 1000 posts? There's a new Limerick thread in Active now that was started yesterday afternoon - is that a continuation of it?

Kim19 Sun 14-Feb-21 01:44:45

Hey Molly looks like someone was listening to you. One has just re-appeared.

FannyCornforth Sun 14-Feb-21 01:47:43

Had it just slipped out of Active then?

lemsip Sun 14-Feb-21 01:52:40

Limericks still going strong, it's under Games. just checked.

Can't sleep, body tired but mind wired.

Mollygo Sun 14-Feb-21 06:42:51

Thanks for your help Fanny, Kim and Lemsip I hope you finally got to sleep.
It’s the Limericks with strict rules thread.
I guess it had reached 1000 posts but I didn’t know about that rule, it just said, ‘this thread is closed’.

Good Evening / Morning to any Owls on the swoop ?moon
It's been very quiet around here of late, much like everywhere else really.
What a mild, even warm, day it's been today! I've had my back door open all day and turned off the heating.
More good, if slightly dull, news - my new Dyson vacuum has finally arrived! smile It was a second attempt, after Hermes 'lost' hmm the first one.
Anyway, it would be nice if you pop in and say hello and share any good, if slightly dull, news too!

Mollygo Tue 16-Feb-21 03:33:55

Wow! A new vacuum-cleaning will be much more fun for a while.
It’s curious where all the ‘lost’ things go. Hermes once left me a text saying they’d left my package by the back door. Not true. That would have involved climbing over our garage or going via next door and climbing over the wall.
I’m glad it was warm for you yesterday. It was still cold here, but sunny and slightly less wind.
Anyway I’m going to drink the tea DH has just made and hope to sleep again. Night all.

nadateturbe Tue 16-Feb-21 03:34:52

Morning FannyCornforth. New vac. Lovely. Have fun ?.
Still very tired, just popped on very quickly to say hello. Goodness, your weather sounds wonderful. Warm enough here to not wear a hat which is goood except that my hair is now better covered.
No news here really. Discovered a house further along is having an extension done so eagerly watching progress as we have considered doing this.
Back to sleep hopefully...?

nadateturbe Tue 16-Feb-21 03:43:21

Morning Mollygo. Our Hermes is not very dependable either. Last week I saw the lady coming. I opened the door to find her putting the parcel in my recycle bin. She hadn't even checked if I was in. Another time she lifted the doormat and "hid" the parcel under it. She is a pleasant lady though. And I've never had anything go missing. That would be annoying.
Hope you get back to sleep.

Good luck with the Dyson, Fanny. I must admit that my Dyson was the worst vacuum cleaner I have ever had in my life.I thought maybe I just got a lemon but my daughter said the same about hers. Overpriced, underperforming. Anyway, we bought a nice new Wertheim which actually does a proper job.

lemsip Tue 16-Feb-21 07:50:10

I love my Dyson cordless stick model, it is so easy to use and always at the ready. I got £50 off via Martin Lewis money expert site!

Lucca Tue 16-Feb-21 07:56:57

Fanny I tried to pm you but pm facility not working.

FannyCornforth Tue 16-Feb-21 08:53:07

Hi Lucca, oh, I thought that there might be a problem with it. I'll try pming you, see if anything happens...

FannyCornforth Tue 16-Feb-21 08:54:21

Nope. Looks like that doesn't work either.

Lucca Tue 16-Feb-21 12:03:39

I’ve got your messages but can’t reply. I have contacted GN.

lemsip Wed 17-Feb-21 03:39:36

everyone sleeping well except me then. just had cup of tea with rich tea biscuit o.r two. got radio 5 live on. Fortunately not in pain, just wake after couple of hours and can't drop back to sleep. off to try again now.

Rufus2 Wed 17-Feb-21 04:34:46

Hi! Just passing by looking for Kim 19' concerning a message she left for me on ""Good Evening Chewsday" yesterday!
It will keep so don't rouse her!
Hard luck Lemslip!
It's rotten when a guilty conscience won't let you sleep! grin
OoRoo

Rufus2 Wed 17-Feb-21 04:52:46

Sorry! Me again It was the "Sprecken die...." thread.
Blame it on the heat; it's 35C out there! hmm

Also sorry Lemsip; don't know how the 'ell that other "l" got in there.
Blame that on the heat too! confused

Kim19 Wed 17-Feb-21 04:56:15

Hi Rufus! Just thought you were being given a hard time yesterday and thought a bit of support wouldn't go amiss. Rain is chucking it down here right now. Can hear it on the window. A lot better than snow though. I suppose you're still enjoying a heatwave. We went from minus 9 to 8 within a couple of days. Can't ever remember such a dramatic switch before. Kinda feels like the tropics! So..... what's on the menu?

Kim19 Wed 17-Feb-21 05:02:55

Hello Lemsip. Hope your cup of tea did some sort of trick in getting you back to sleep. I've never tried Radio 5. Is it some kind of easy listening stuff? Glad you're not in any pain.

nadateturbe Wed 17-Feb-21 05:39:09

Good morning. Gosh Rufus2 that is hot. I don't think I could cope with that. I wonder why no one in Neighbours ever complains about the heat.
Just popped on to share some good news which will mean nothing to most of you. Have managed to order the last series of The Sullivans. I missed the last episode as my video recorder didn't work and in those days there was no catchup. Can't wait to get it.
I too have not tried Radio 5.
Back to sleep.

Kim19 Wed 17-Feb-21 05:46:30

Gosh...... The Sullivan's........ Vague recollections from years ago. Must revisit just out of curiosity.

nadateturbe Wed 17-Feb-21 05:55:50

I loved it Kim19. But I started work and wasn't home at lunchtime. I cried when I put the last episode on and the video was so blurred I couldn't watch. Amazon had some series but not the last.
