Personally, I have never bothered with it, I just look through the active list to see what catches my eye.

It get deleted after a glance here too. I only read it for the competitions and there haven't been any for ages.
I have a shortcut to the forums and rarely look at the front page or other articles any more.

Morning Mick, morning All from a sunny corner of Somerset. Early rain has passed through.

Little sleep so a grumpy cornerland today. I plan to shut myself away with the computer and deal with some admin. Boring though it will be it will save Mr C from listening to me grump.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning,
It’s brightening up here in South Yorkshire though feels cooler.

Today I’m off to help arrange some flowers in church then when I get back, I’ve got some ironing to do and a few other little jobs around the house.

? grandMattie. Sorry to read that you are having a difficult day today and that your DH is not feeling well.

Take care everyone.

Good morning all from a wet and blowy W Kent. Stillearning my eldest DD's in laws are in Dunoon and we have enjoyed a few visits. Off shopping a bit later and youngest GS and mum will be popping by later as it is his birthday today.
Good wishes to all

Beauregard what were the odds!
Ashcombe I hope your hospital tests go well today.
Grandmadinosaur - never mind ‘Strictly’ - enjoy MANCHESTER tomorrow!
GG13 hope your toddler ‘imp’ lets you get on with your shopping. Distractions all the way I expect!
Gingster lovely family news. You’ll be a reassured mum today!
Stilllearning goodness I hope your ferry crossing to Dunoon isn’t a choppy one! Enjoy your visit it’ll be lovely to spend time with family and have a proper catch up.

Good morning Mick and all from sunny but blowy Anglesey.
Sorry to hear you are not in a good place grandMattie, you and your family have been through so much, you have been keeping busy and being all things to all people. Maybe now is the time to sit back with your feet up and let it all wash over you. Cry and laugh and cry some more. Let it all come out. We are all so very fond of you and are here for you. Big hug ?
A day of nothing much for us.
Wishing everyone ????????

Good Morning All x.
A bit blowy and rather cool today so hoping any threatened snow passes us by----that's all I want ! Hilly and no grit.

I don't intend doing very much this morning ( nothing new there ) as the opening ceremony for the Winter Olympics will be on in just over an hour.

Usual fish and chips later though I was going to have some scallops but I do like spinach and scalloped potatoes with them, but no spinach and too much messing today. I have some lovely Patagonian scallops in the freezer but they'll keep. How the other half live, eh ? .

Hope things improve for you grandMattie it's so difficult when there are all sorts of things going on. Look after yourself

Also hope appointments/ results aren't as worrying as once thought----easier said than done, I know.
Let's hope things go well.

Will ring brother later on his birthday. I doubt he and his partner will be doing anything special, but you never know.

I laughed at Matt this morning Urms simply because it looked like a corner of my living room with the standard lamp in the corner and me perched on the settee.

Because I forgot to take the crumpets out of the freezer I had porridge this morning with syrup squiggled on top, so I'll be back to normal tomorrow. It's that " hit " of melted Lurpak that I missed .

Anyway, special thoughts to those of you who are worrying, struggling or not so grand,
Stay safe and warm everyone. xx

Good morning Mick and everybody. Sunny intervals in my corner of Lancashire this morning, currently 6°C

Mr. B took me to Morrisons so I could stock up on supplies for my new eating plan, plenty of fibre, very little fat and sugar. It’s my version of 5:2 incorporating a ‘porridge and soup’ plan . They have a special offer on Schweppes tonic so I took advantage of that, Mr. B enjoys a G&T of an evening. I didn’t go mad though, I’m not a stockpiler

I don’t need to go for a walk later, I think I have done several thousand steps already.

Wishing you all the best possible day. May all those with worries find some comfort and all who are under the weather find some relief. ?

You are such lovely people, my heartfelt thanks to you all for your kindness and support! It is much appreciated.
Ido know that I will have bad days and better days for some time to come, but life seems a bit dark ATM, but with your kind wishes, there is light - and, no, it isn’t a mirror! ?

What a wonderful gent -Captain Tom was.
Tomorrow will be a good day.
However today I feel that I won the lottery, as purchased from a well known discount supermarket 48 cans of Tuna at 24p a can.
2yr best before date too! How many ways can you use tuna
Starting to decorate our bedroom tomorrow-what a mammoth task- sorting out the excess prior to starting- needing to get it done before the garden calls.

Good morning everyone. I'm sitting in my car on Teignmouth sea front in South Devon. It's sunny and bright .
I went for a walk , the wind is cold and there was a sudden shower and a huge rainbow ?.
