Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark, and raining at the moment here in brackley on top of the cold air .
Today will depend on the weather as to doing what i usually do, if it remains like at present may go out , otherwise grounded if it turns to the worse .
Take Care,
Mick

Downsizing my tree in proportion to our new flat

I’m sorry LauraNorderr but I can’t stop laughing, are you quite sure that isn’t a bottlebrush in disguise?
Do I now after leave GN in disgrace?

By the way I love your jugs.
I collect them myself.

Morning from a wet Co Durham.
Spent so long reading your post I’ve hardly time to post myself.

So many mentions of writing Christmas cards, I must do mine.
RosiesMaw, that happens a lot in our small town. Always requests for doorbell footage.
Fab tree, Baubles.
Marydoll, I still think your an inspiration.
Hope the poorlies improve.
Safe travels to those on the move.
Might wield a duster ( or not).

Good morning, Earthlings!

It's 6C. here in little Appleby at 11:09am, and the snow is melting and VERY icy! I was going around to the Co-Op but there's a big dent over the bridge and one outside the pizza place so I won't risk sliding on it and breaking my hip! Will go to Spar instead for my Snickers fix!

I had a good day off yesterday, didn't crash out of bed until 9:50! Went to Spar in the morning, then at home the rest of the day guzzling mugs of PG Tips...which reminds me to get another box today... and building a clock and creating a plastic flower bouquet!

Absolutely crying with laughter here!

Good morning all from a rainy Algarve. Actually for the last week the weather has had spells of being rain free ,even a glimmer of sun then just as you think it will definitely be fine, down comes the rain again.
I hope it will improve by next weekend when both daughters are visiting.

I haven’t read any posts yet but couldn’t help seeing Urms lovely Christmas card to us all, it made me laugh out loud. I hope the day is not too hard on you Urms.

Things are moving with DH. Tomorrow he has to have a chest X-ray, an ECG and then in the afternoon go back to see the anaesthesia secretary. That’s if we got the messages right. Daughters may still be around if we get any more news.

LauraNorderr Mon 04-Dec-23 11:57:51

You got me Ann.
Saved a few bob in Poundland

I was mortified after I pressed post in case I had offended you.
Honestly it was the last thing on my mind😰

LauraNorderr Mon 04-Dec-23 14:00:05

No offence taken Ann, was a funny observation.
Is this better?

'Can I just point out to any newbies that BlueSapphire is not a shoplifter 😂'

Thanks LauraN for the laugh. Reminded me of making the rookie mistake, when I moved to Liverpool, of pushing a shopping trolley around a shop with my backpack in it. Was trailed by a security guy who suspected I would fill the backpack with things I'd 'slipped off the hanger'.

annsixty Mon 04-Dec-23 14:35:26

What an improvement Laura
Worthy of any Christmas display 😉

One year, I decided on a one-stop House of Fraser Christmas. In the end, I got so fed up being followed around by the store security, I told him he might as well make himself useful and carry my goods until I’d finished shopping!

LauraN - snap!

LauraNorderr Mon 04-Dec-23 19:01:23

Impeccable taste in toilet brushes Grannyme

LauraNorderr, thanks for posting & sharing your tree, &, of course, your other ornaments. ann's lovely comment has cheered me up on this dark & wet Monday. smile

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
