Morning

Some light powdery snow here - the kind that looks pretty 😄
Very cold though.

Daughter OH and Grandson have set off to drive here and say the roads are fine and pretty empty 🙂

[****merlin*****]

an ipad is all singing all dancing latest offering from apple

cept its not:-(

i think for people on the go, it would be brilliant

for me? not so much

serves me right i supose

i was too lazy to look for a lappy

[chickengrandma-2008]

Morning ladies. (No smilies today?)

How come hippy hasn't got any of this then, I'm only down the road from her.  You can come and get it if you like hippy...........................please!

????  Seems there's no piccies either!!

[chickengrandma-2008]

AH!  piccies now!  And smilies! 😄

[*hippyfairy*]

CG - thought of you - I've seen pics from your part of the county with loads of snow - just frost & ice here.

Think its our coastal strip thats snow free - though Felixstowe has some 😞

Not fair - I wanted some today. But not tomorrow as I've got a hospital appointment 😞

😞 @ Merlins dead lappy. Not tried an ipad but I have posted on here via my ipod touch and its ok.

[*hippyfairy*]

Wants to play in CG's garden!

[chickengrandma-2008]

Is your appointment at Ipswich hospital hippy?  Bring some containers with you and you can take some home.  We're about two miles from there.:^O

[ilove2patch]

It's gone quite dark here. Might mean rain or snow on the way.

[**towery**]

morning, we had no further snow
did anyone see the  ipswich foot match last night on the news -  very white, they had to stop to clear the lines a couple of times  lol

Merlin  hope you can sort something with the app for here, hopefully there is a fix for it
lots of people use twitter on the ipad

Good morning 😄

All candles extinguished 😉

Is your lappy repairable Merlin, I was going to say its not a good time for it to breakdown, but its xmas and you could always ask Mr Merlin if he thinks santa would be happy to provide a new one 😉

I did wonder if the ipad was any good, but i wont bother looking at it now 🙂

Hippy are the Gloves quick & easy to knit, daughter mentioned she would like some, so thought i would give it a go, just some plain ones, i looked on favecrafts site but couldn't get my head around the pattern 😞  can you point me in the right direction please 🙂

Maggie how are your bits this morning, I Hope your taking it easy 🙂

[ilove2patch]

A bit battered here but feeling ok. Damson want's to go out but I am not chancing it. She will have to make do with the garden again.

I bought some lovely PJ's in Yeovil. Washed them before wearing & they are too small! 😞 Not sure if they shrunk as I tumbled them & it says to not tumble. Really disappointed.:-(

[****merlin*****]

Mr Merlin paid £500 for the ipad

coz i'm an upto the minute techno chick:|

[hiddengems2010]

I would just open the door and let her roam in the garden for a while maggie, it wont hurt to miss a day or two, just till you feel safer on your feet.

Re jimjams, take them back saying you dried them on the radiaters, and hope to get away with it 😉 failing that pass them onto someone you think they will fit with a clear warning not to tumble dry 😉

I cant say take it as a lesson learned, as i chuck everything in the dryer, on a lower setting if i'm unsure, unless its pure wool or angora mix 🙂

[hiddengems2010]

Merlin you can take it back saying its not suitable, i think you have 7-14 days to do so, they may throw a wobbly but if its not right or what it says in the advert, you have your rights, which i'm sure you know 🙂  if you got it off the internet phone them first to let them know, i think the cooling off times are longer with internet, not 100% sure, but i would certainly try, £ 500 would go a good way towards a nice lappy 🙂

[borzoi369]

Get a good lappie with spare change from £500 😄

[ilove2patch]

If I can get into town I will try taking them back Gems. 🙂 Of course I dried them on the radiator! 😉

[hiddengems2010]

Needs must, i have to finish mums headscalfs & colour me hair 🙂 not sure if i'm going red or chocolate brown with red or blonde streaks, Ive decided i'm going back short n spikey tomorrow, so i think it will be chocolate and red we will see 🙂

Have a nice afternoon 😄

[ilove2patch]

Sounds very festive Gems whichever you choose.:-)

[cat-knitter]

Wave's to whoever's around 🙂
its not stopped snowing here since yesterday evening .... I've got to go out soon 😞

Gems I knit a pair of Hippy's gloves last night ...... I'll try &  take a one handed pic :^O
took longer than it normally would ..... but then again I was watching a bottle of something evaporate at the same time 😉
