Sorry, I see MD has already made the suggestion earlier!

You’re better up starting a new thread Sadie5803.
Out of interest, where is RCT

Jaxjacky Mon 25-Nov-24 15:15:23

Afternoon Roses good to hear you are ok, it sounds horrendous.

Good afternoon everyone, better late than never I guess after 5 days with internet because ‘rodents chewed through multiple cables’ apparently, the whole locality has been without BT and broadband.
The horrendous weather over the weekend means that several local towns are completely flooded, there’s only one way out of my village that doesn’t involve negotiating deep flood water or fallen trees.
I had a hospital appointment this morning, luckily DH offered to drive because it took 3 attempts to find a route that wasn’t flooded or very heavy traffic.
Apart from that it’s been a quiet few days and I so kissed the internet!
Hope everyone is ok? 🌹

Apparently the jigsaw was very difficult as it was two-sided. She was so pleased that she framed it!

I saw a Sprout Bath bomb today, I thought of sending it to you!

Sadie, probably won't get a response on this thread, it is for people to say Good Morning.

LLFL 😁😁

Another here Grandmabatty who is pleased to hear you’re off to see the doctor this afternoon. Sensible woman.

Beechnut Mon 25-Nov-24 10:56:54

How long did it take your sister to do the jigsaw Llfl? 😂

A very late ‘Good morning everyone’ from sunny south Manchester. We didn’t wake up until 9am! Eleven hours of sleep. We’ve obviously gone into hibernation mode.

We have no plans. Just a day of pottering. Himself will nip into the larder later when we decide what to eat for us tea. I fancy anything as long as it’s with sprouts.

They’re not just for Christmas you know …. 🤣

Sprouts are the spawn of the devil. But my sister loves them. Every Christmas I buy her a sprout based present. This year it’s a pair of oven gloves with a sprouts pattern. Last year it was a sprouts jigsaw.

Morning all, lots to do this morning so a later post.
I sent a pm to Taichinan yesterday and thankfully nothing too serious is preventing her posting.
Having said that she has been really laid low with a dreadful and long lasting cold and as well as feeling totally exhausted, says she has had nothing of interest to post😊
Hopefully she’ll be back soon.

Take care Grandmabatty andGeorgesgran

Off to chair yoga now and a lovely lunch with some former colleagues, so fortunate to still be doing this 20 years after retirement

Good wishes for the day everyone, baubles I laughed out loud, I can just see that toddler!

Good morning everyone from Severnside. It’s sunny which will help the people who have clear up operations to do. Many homes flooded in a street I used to live in.

Wishing a Happy Birthday to the Ginster men 🎂🎉

Have the best day you can all.

POSTS, not post's! That is one of my pet hates. wink

Oh, me too, me too.
The other is pluralising collective nouns…. “The government ARE”, 😡🤬

Morning all from a beautiful blue-sky West Oxfordshire.

However… the road to my nearby town is closed due to flooding! I can still get to the nearby smaller town.

I have steamed the Christmas pudding so this morning I’ll wrap it in fresh papers and a cloth.

I may visit my friend who recently had a hip replacement. Otherwise, the cleaner is coming and I must start thinking about writing Christmas cards.

Have a good day.

Scapa1 Mon 25-Nov-24 09:27:01

I haven't read all of your posts yet but will return later. Grandmabatty please be sensible and tell your daughter how you feel I know you don't want to let anyone down but you are important too. Hope Babydoll recovers soon Marydoll for all your sakes. I have being doing nothing as although this is week3 I still am not completely over this virus. It has been a nasty one but I have been sensible although not much choice really! Another miserable looking day here in Dunblane.

Thank you Kalu

Good morning. Sunny and rainy all at the same time here in Yorkshire. Thankfully we haven’t been affected by Storm Bert - thinking of all those who have been. Got up very late today. Sitting in bed with a cuppa and a little cat on my lap - all you busy folk put me to shame! Have as good a day as you can. Take care.

Good morning from a dry, windy NE.
The weather here has not been as bad as other areas.
A day of housework, nothing major, just run the vacuum round and clean the kitchen.
Watched Joy on Netflix yesterday, James Norton as Robert Edwards was good and I liked Bill Nighy too.

Good morning Mick and everyone from brightish and breezy Carlisle.
I thought I heard the forecaster say there were 5 named storms due before Christmas...that would be about one a week, surely not?!
Yesterday turned out to be quite benign, we had blue skies and cloud in the morning so I went for a walk in the park. I'm concerned about the seemingly missing pair of resident swans which I didn't see last week either. Their cygnets are still about.

Today, the usual Monday morning chores then I must get round to the Australian Christmas cards which I mean to post tomorrow. There's also a condolence letter to write for a bereaved friend, so difficult....

I'm glad to see you're starting to get sorted Grandmabatty and hope you have a swift recovery.

And wishing you all the best possible day.
