Say hello if you're online

[brynteg11]

the number of views compared to posts shows that lots of people pop in to look ( I know I do!), so here's your chance to say hello if you're lurking/browsing.

Hello!

[bitsnknots]

Afternoon all.  Sorry Maggie I haven't seen the fabric you've lost.  It must be somewher around here.

Took mum for a blood test at 11.15 after which, we went into town.  We had our lunch at one of the Wetherspoons pubs in town.  As we are having a cooked tea, we only wanted something light.  We had a bacon toastie each, mum had a cup of tea and I had a coffee and it only cost us £2.98 for both of us.  Mum thought I meant £2.98 each until I showed her the receipt.  After lunch, we had a mooch around town.  I bought a couple of knitting patterns from a charity shop.  They were both for ladies jumpers.  I will get some wool when we go to Bury market next Wednesday.  I'm shattered now and so is mum.

That has to be a mistake surely Chris? I think I would have queried it. Found the fabric in a place I had already looked in! lol

[bitsnknots]

I did query it and it was correct.   We even checked the receipt.  The bacon toasties were part of the breakfast menu which is cheaper.   A friend of mine went to the same place with his wife last week and they a burger each with chips and salad with a coffee each and that came to round about £5 for all that.  

Glad that you found your material Maggie.

Meant to add that I'll be going to the other Wetherspoons next week.  I will having a bacon toastie again and two cups of coffee and that will come to about £3.

Yep that's about what our local wetherspoons costs and sadly because they are a uk wide chain and can do all their food so cheap a lot of local pubs and cafe's can't compete and go belly up.

Wet and windy here today but hopefully will brighten up soon

We don't have rain yet but according to the met office website, we will have thunder at around 8pm.  I don't mind thunder during the day when I don't have to go out anywhere but I do feel sorry for young children and animals.  They can't understand all the bangs and flashes of light can they?

Good morning ,

  im here this morning then have to take my car back to the garage, after they changed the catalytic bit of the exhaust  the engine keeps cutting out 😞

[ed_blackadder_1]

Ooops.

 Today I am mostly  especially to rose

Afternoon all.  Hope that you've got your car sorted Von.  

Weatherwise, it's been quite nice here today up to about an hour or so back.  It's now clouded over and it's on the cool side.  We've managed to get some washing dried outside though so that can't be bad.

The weather has been lovely here, and the passion flower in the garden is covered in open flowers.

Have been at hospital - have been well and truly squished and you have never seen such a palaver. Glad it was nice weather, because it is almost impossible to get to the the breast unit from the main hospital, so you have a long trek round the outside, then you have to take your life in your hands with a wheelchair lift.

Have been to Asda  - that's twice in one week!

Am now shattered - why having boobies squished should make my hip  and back hurt I don't know - possibly it is from trying to twist into strange poses. Shall take pain killers and doze

Have a nice nap Stroppy

[bitsnknots]

Enjoy your nap Stroppy.

I've seen everything now.  The family who live opposite have just had a new porch built.  The inside of the porch hasn't even been plastered yet and they have got a Christmas decoration in the said unfinished porch.   It takes all sorts.  When they take their dog for a walk they carry it.

[ed_blackadder_1]

I take it its not a great dane then.

[bitsnknots]

No ed, it's a St Bernard actually.    In all honesty, it's a Westy pup which is soon beginning to wonder what its legs are actually for.

[ed_blackadder_1]

Frustrating when you see that. They were given 4 legs to walk on aaarrrggghhh

Morning all.  I'm in my normal Saturday rush as I want to miss the kiddies swimming lesson which start at 9.  It's not so much the kiddies but the idiotic parents of some of them.  On a Friday, toddlers have what they call swim time which is just to get them used to going into the water.  In the ladies changing room.  One of the mothers was saying that all of the family had had a sickness bug over the last few days so why take your child into a swimming pool at a private health club?  It's not just the fact that members could get it as well but other children could get it to.    Common sense just went and lost itself somewhere along the line.  I could go on but won't.
