  • Good morning Glyn,

    I missed registration yesterday morning so didn't want another black mark.

    My had had an old landrover and I loved it. Could throw dogs, wood and anything in it. It was going to be too expensive to get through the MOT so she sold it to someone who did it up and sold it for a good profit. Looking forward to the next episode of Last Tango in Halifax.

    It's still quite dark but the sky has a wierd pinky tinge. We have an amber weather warning in force.

    ... waiting for OH to ask me what I'd like,..

    Not to worry. Welcome gifts for ladies are quite easy to find. Just look at an Argos catalogue. Loads of ideas there. Some simple suggestions for ladies' pressies:

    • Set of saucepans
    • New ironing board
    • Tin of oven cleaner
    • Hedge cutting shears
    • Set of golf balls

    If you want to splash out on something a bit special, what about a Karcher Powerwash Window Cleaner. I have seen something similar on the Argos Home Shopping channel. Ladies are just gagging for one of these this Christmas. Ideal for keeping your greenhouse windows clean too.

    Morning fork folk, hope it's not too wet and blustery where you are.

    Gary, thank you so much for helping me out with my list  :- D  You left off wheelbarrow which I have on mine. And also pet rats - my ex OH once bought me two for my birthday.

    Last Tango in Halifax  :- )

    Fruit leather and cheese wedding cakes!!!   Have I stumbled into Edward Lear country?

    Hola mos amigos

    Have sorted one pressie-son will get OH a Kindle-she keeps hinting-I have pooh-pooed the idea-so therefore as is the scheme of things she will get given that.

    It is windy and set to get windier

    Last Tango in Halifax has beem deemed a hitimage

    Had computer meltdown -and just tried system restore-don't like doing stuff like thatimage

    I bought my Mother a toast rack once when I was a child-very useful letter rackimage

    Morning all

    Am I going to be the only one to say something about your Christmas list Georg - No second thoughts I won't say anythingimage

    Flo I hav e a wheelbarrow on my list - I quite like the idea of a lilac one! 

    My OH was always complaining that I wouldn't let him mash potatoes in my teflon saucepans so I did the only thing I could. Bought him a stainless steel saucepan and a metal potato masher as a Christmas present.image

    I have been given permission to accompany OH to supermarket this morning. He has promised not to moan when I look at things! image

    The cheese wedding cakes are popular. When we first saw a picture (royal wedding time) we thought it was a joke.image

    OH just come back from walking the dog in the wood and he says   there is a sign up asking that dogs, footwear and clothes are cleaned of leaves mud etc when leaving it. Good idea but how do you rub down a large dog who only has to look at mud to get covered in it. His tail very long, waggy and hairy (the sort that can clear a coffee table with one wag!image) also is a magnet to leaves. Easy to clear them, not so easy on the mud clearance. Though we will of course try

  • Good morning all and thanks Gary for your present list suggestions.

    My daughter bought me a whwwlbarrow for my birthday and reaalyy appreciated it. I usually get garden themed presents.

    I bought my brother a poo picking up set last Christmas. He'll probably think of me every time he clears his horse's field. image But really he said it was one of his best presents, saves a lot of back ache.

    It's probably too late now, Bjay. to stop the spread of the tree diseases. We were asked to wash dogs and boots two years ago as the larches were infected and they've cut down thousands to try and stop the spread of the disease. Now we are told not to cut down infected trees in case some of them develope immunity.

    Morning lovelies!

    The sun is out! Jess was woke with a coughing fit last night, which woke her right up, about 1.30am. Didn't drop off again until 3.30am. Poor love.

    Geoff, she will love the kindle. I haven't got one, but have the kindle app on my iphone. It's great in bed. image

    Gary, I presume you're single.

    Not a lot going on today. Will move the PC desk over the other side of the room to make way for the Christmas Tree! image

  • Morning all. Sunny here at the moment but quite windy.

    Becks, hope Jess's cough is better this morning.

    If Gary isn't single, he soon will be if that's his shopping list.

    I've seen some lovely wheelbarrows - purple and pink ones. I already have pink hedge shears, perhaps Santa will bring me a wheelbarrow. image

    Not sure how you can clean a muddy dog out in the open!

    Morning all image Just a quick hello on way out to daughters with more boxes. I need to get my act together for Christmas seeing how they will all be coming to me - only got a few things. All I can think about is this blessed house move.

    Will probally do a trolley dash after the 10th.

    Georg - You left off sackcloth and ashes . image
