Hello Dolly
I used to find Bach Rescue Remedy (the Night time one) really good for the over active mind thing. I don’t know how on Earth it works, but it really did.

Same question please

I've just made some warm milk, in the hope it will help me to drop off to sleep again. Woke at 3am and mind started whirring.

What do others do to get back to sleep?

Antiquated gas central heating.
Our boiler is a miracle of engineering. How it’s still going is beyond me.
We’ve been meaning to replace it since we moved here 23 years ago.
It hasn’t been done as I hate upheaval. Its the reason why we have never moved.
It’s my own fault
Sorry -getting very self pitying in the wee small hours!

Will the next poster be Ken, I wonder? 🤔
What exactly are you up to at the moment?

Yes we did. Like yours, it was the only heat in the house. How did we cope back then?
What heating do you have now?

No because I have mobility issues.

Did you have a coal fire in your parents house?

We used to huddle around it in cold weather. It was the only heated room.

Month !!

That should read 18 moth not 28 month.

Not much but I do like the weeks just before and after Christmas and the day itself. Otherwise I look forward to the spring and Summer.

A walk that normally would take around ten minutes took over half an hour this afternoon as I had 28 month old DGS in tow. I had plenty of time and very much enjoyed his joy in every stick, leaf, cobweb and puddle .
Would /do you enjoy this sort of walk ?

I haven’t been on a coach holiday abroad, but I take regular coach day trips (next one on Monday) as although I drive, I don’t enjoy it. Have also had 2 or 3 night breaks by coach, very good.

What do you like about winter?

Same question

MrsK - What’s “dire” about a coach holiday? Do you mean going to a European destination by coach? Yes, that would be very tedious for me, but I wouldn’t mind a coach holiday in the UK.
I haven’t been on a Turkey and Tinsel holiday, although I have heard of it. Some people enjoy it.

No we don’t have a dog and only once had one years ago.

Do you go on coach holidays.? . Friend of mine go on ‘Turkey and Tinsel’ breaks. Sounds dire to me. What are your thoughts ?

I am absolutely hopeless at decorating, I get more on myself than the walls. I’ve found a young lady decorator, who has just painted all the way through.
Have you a dog and breed what is it?

Sorry x post. I would like to re-carpet everywhere but it will have to wait.

Do you do your own decorating?

Yes I do have some roof space. I intended to have it boarded out and a loft ladder installed but it's still on the long to do list.

Do you do your own decorating?

I have an attic, but it needs the strength of ten men to open the hatch, so I never use it.

If there was one improvement which you'd magically like to appear at your house, what would it be? Sadly, I have a list.

No, I don't really. I used to have an office here but changed it into a spare bedroom, after buying a laptop instead of a desktop pc.

Do you have an attic or roof space? Do you use it? My last house had a huge attic which was boarded out for storage. But it's very small here.

Id employ a cleaner (which I do) and get ready meals delivered. I hate both cooking and cleaning.

Do you have a special room/place in you house for your hobby/work or pastime?

I have an office downstairs and one of the bedroom is stock room/packing station for my business so I claim for both from the taxman.

No never and I’m sure I never will! (Unlike the late Queen, who apparently always had a jigsaw on the go)
Answer to HowVeryDareYou upthread: I let my hair dry naturally then use straighteners for a little shape.

If you had to either cook or clean all day, which would you choose?

Yes, I eat more soups & casseroles. I like a bit of comfort food in the cold damp weather.

Do you do ever do jigsaws in the winter?

I have a walk in shower.

Do you change diet a little in the cold weather. Maybe soup instead of salad?

Since we are in Wales too, very wet and windy. So watching tv by the fire

What do you hate most? Sun, wind, snow, rain ?

No, not yet. Actually I haven’t seen them around.

Miserable day here in Wales. So, not going far. Will probably catch up with long-overdue clearing the toy box and taking (tomorrow) the outgrown toys to the charity shop. What’s the weather like where you are and what are your plans for the afternoon?

I bought some very nice shampoo bars from The Body Shop, and I find the lather good and my hair was soft afterwards.

Do you use straighteners/curling tongs/anything similar? My hair is extremely curly (like a perm) but I leave it.

I have a shower screen.

Have you used shampoo bars yet?
