Flo, really glad to hear Harry is home in plenty time for Christmas. It must be such a relief for you all.

[greenishfing]

Good afternoon.

I didn't have a good night's sleep last night. Mr GF awoke early and felt ill. He fell back asleep and still felt ill when he awoke. Nothing specific....just "I'm really ill" groan, groan or "I'm dying" groan, groan. This happens every so often and used to scare me... but I suppose familiarity breeds contempt. After I'd ascertained he didn't have a temperature and could walk and talk I got him to take his tablets and gave him a cup of tea.

He is now belatedly munching on a croissant and jam and is back to his normal happy self. He obviously doesn't realise how close he was to being strangled. .......

I am trying to work out when to do my shopping this week as I don't want to go to the supermarket when it's busy (end of the week), but would also like to not have to go next week at all. I might manage this if I can buy milk and cream with a longish sell by date tomorrow.

^Fantastic news about Harry.

[Florence Fennel]

Good Morning All Not been up long, neck ache kept me awake until about four this morning. I'm convinced now that it's the angle of the headrest on the dentist's chair.

Harry is home. It will be a long road to recovery, but he is comfortable. Thanks for all your good wishes.

Hope the phone turns up tomorrow Nicos.

Have a good day All

Good morning all,late waking up this morning,got to make a shiffty on,meeting a friend late lunch for a catch up,hope all is going well still FF,Bramble is not nice when it strikes without warning,it makes you feel crippled,plus you get no notice of it's departure either,hope the phone does arrive Nicos,have a good day all

[bramble]

Good morning all. Dull, grey and wet, but its 10 degs.

Nicos, glad to hear your dsy is going well.

Flo, hope Harry gets home soon.

Not a lot happening here, I am going to take it easy as I had a flare up of pains in my bones which zi suspect is arthritis.

I might start wrapping my Christmas gifts.

Have a good day all.

[Snoop Puss]

Morning all.

Unbelievably, I'll pass on the ginger biscuits, Nicos. No, there's nothing wrong with me, but I've had too much toast for breakfast already and I don't want to frighten off the French fireman masseur at the Gardeners Rest by snerdling in sideways in a bid to get through the door.

Extremely cold last night. First thing I did was let the dog out and then immediately light the range to counter the blast of cold air that came pouring in when the door was open.

The list of jobs today is exactly the same as yesterday's. As you can tell, I wasn't as productive yesterday as I might have been...

Good news about Harry, Flo. Any idea when he might be discharged?

And good news about the phone and your friend, Nicos.

Have a great day, everyone.

[Nicos]

Well…the day is looking up!
OH got an email saying tomorrow between 10 and 12…( dare I say yipppeee?)

And our friend has arrived!

I think I’ll celebrate by making more gingerbread biscuits. The tin seems rather faulty this year…when I go to get a couple out, there seem to be less and less in there. Strange innit?

[Bren In Pots]

Morning

Not good at all is it Nicos, have you contacted the seller maybe they could help. I hate waiting in for deliveries especially when you don't have a time slot just a day.

enjoy your day

[Nicos]

Mornin n’alln’all
Still dark innit?

On the books for today…still waiting for our friend to arrive to help with making the last door and surround. He was supposed to come yesterday but couldn’t come at the last minute.
Fingers crossed today is the day. It’ll be nice not to have work boots trampling through the house leaving a trail of dust and mud

Today will also be spent waiting in…in anticipation- of OH’s phone…still had absolutely no info from the couriers…and what we are now thinking might well have ‘accidentally on purpose’ gone missing.
Lets keep positive, but it’s frustrating that the only info people we get through to say ‘ it’s at the depot ready to be sent out’ We could have walked there and back and collected it ourself since the one and only message we have received saying it’s due for delivery 12-2pm on Friday 13th. Ironic in that we’d payed extra for that next day delivery Maybe someone has snaffled it? Hope not

Right…so keeping positive …anyone fancy a homemade ginger biscuit or two for breakfast?

Enjoy your day folks!

[lottie dolly]

Afternoon

Bang goes that possibility, then. Sorry.

That was the first thing I did after the first time making the bread I went out and bought some more yeast. Maybe putting it away for a bit might teach it a lesson and start to work for me again when I bring it out lol

[Snoop Puss]

I bought new in

Bang goes that possibility, then. Sorry.

[cariann88]

Have you checked your yeast, Carrie, to make sure it's still viable? Might just be a question of buying new yeast.
