Chatback #8 .....

[Hazel at the Hill]

Well played, Calum - I'm sure that chess is very good for the brain. I don't play particularly, but I'd give many a run for their money at Scrabble.

The Telegraph crossword is a must for us too - three of us in the pub poring over the clues this evening - our mate Pete with the plaudits for the final clue solved - curses!

Your hair looks lovely, Flo - so much better for a trim.

I'm glad that VC got her puppies all lined up for their jabs earlier - it's sad that they are grown up and leaving home. I'm sure that they'll give as much pleasure to their new mummies and daddies as they have to their aunties and uncles here.

Hope you get what you need from Bathstore, LD - if not, and you have the part numbers, you'll be able to source on ebay, I'm sure.

Right - time to get the cat to shake a leg and come up to bed. Getting supper will rouse him in short order!

Yep It's Thursday!

Good morning

Dark and grey here today. Snow aint that bad. Got to wait in for a delivery today, just hope it does not come to late. Have a good day.

Morning all, it snowed off and on last night yet it's not too bad although son was leaving for work this morning at 5.45 and had to scrape ice from the windows and sweep the snow from the roof and body. Lucky him! More snow forecast for today! Dogs off to the groomer this afternoon...why is it always on the worst days weather wise? They don't stay white for long that's for sure! Hope you are all well and managed to escape the worst of the snow wherever you are.

[Nannysally99]

No snow for us, off to Lids for the weekly shop with the mantra "I do not need seeds or potatoes" running through my head - just in case

[Florence Fennel]

Dashes in, shouts Good Morning All and dashes back out. Snow is bad here, can't get the car out, interviewing this morning! See you later, have a good day

[Bren In Pots]

Morning take care out there Flo we've got snow not much yet and the roads aren't effected we live on a priority gritting route so it has to be bad for us not to get out.

Shen pass on my congtrats to Calum well done that lad

[Nicos]

Morning all!
Rain.

Glad you are OK Shen....and congrats!...you must be chuffed to bits!!

Yeh- take care folks...enjoy, but be careful!

We seem to get dreadful black ice rather than heavy snow here..so I've treated us both to some of these to leave in the car



Snow & Ice Grips for Shoes - Size 6 - 11: Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors

....you never know when they may come in handy!!...
it's happened quite a few times that it may be OK at our house, but 20 mins away they have 1/2 cm black ice in the car park or pavement .
(And no- they don't salt here like they do/did in the UK.)

Once I couldn't get enough grip on my shoes to actually get out of the car!!!. Felt a right numpty!

[Hazel at the Hill]

Morning all! We have lovely sunshine, but it felt nippy when I fed the birds earlier.

Not much exciting going on here today - I'll come to Lid's with you, NS, if you want, or help with the dogs, Jay?

[Nannysally99]

Back from Lids and did not buy any seeds I'm proud of myself lol. The queues were halfway back up the store and nearly every trolley had the offer of the day, in triplicate! Grills, mixers, rice makers, you name it, they were buying it. No croissants at the bakery, asked where they were, reply was "I'm too busy" now I very expect that these croissants are among best sellers on bakery. Rarely can I get them. Never mind, Suns out

Good morning all,no snow here yet,but bloomin icy,the sloping foot paths were quit slippy in parts about 9.30am,made myself have a walk,Bathstore not got anything,they were very helpful,searched on the www for me,and come up with something on the bay,so i will check this out and see if the measurements tally,they thought they had some,untill i pointed out the wheels where closer together,when another piped up and said,it defo did matter,a lot to sort out for me,as am not into the bay,although i got an account,but not with the paypal thing,

[rustylady]

Morning everyone. No snow down here in East Anglia, but it's bluddy cold and we've got that lazy wind (the one that CBA to go round so goes straight through you )

[lottie dolly]
