    We've got a curtain pole still in the loft! I found the replacement new curtains in the top of spare room wardrobe t'other week. Perhaps one day, never more likely.

    We dont plan to spend un-nec money on this house, because one day we'll move away. Daughter will get her own house once she knows where likely to be based. It'll be in NWest, because that's where she's happiest, but we've no ties to Manchester once my treatment all over so we can go anywhere. J.

    Even if you'd stayed at home you wouldn't have been able to do very much gardening, at least for the next 4 or 5 months. I'll be stuck inside most of that time. Come next April we start getting long nights, and we all know school teachers have a holiday from Easter till September.

    Just because a person has a full-time job it does not mean that they do not post frequently on here during the day. I will say no more.

    And 'Bupthalmum Speciosum' - I have a new avatar.

    Ah, is that what it does - a sort of shape changing spell - it changes your avatar.

    That makes sense, because when I last used it, without knowing what it did, my avatar changed shortly afterwards.

    Hi everyone - glad we're back to normal image I was afraid everyone would have changed to Bonfire Night themed names with Geoff as Guy Forks image  (Hope you don't mind that I've decided to be Caz from now on)

    Have loved all the Halloween pics - very quiet here only 2 little girls knocked the door.  Gave them some money so don't have lots of sweets/chocs left. 

    Good luck with the job Kate - my son is a teacher so I know what a tough job it really is.

    I used to be terrified of Jacky Jumpers (don't know if that was their proper name or just what we called them).  They were a sort of zig zag shape and had several "bangs" in them and moved all over the place and someone would always throw one at you!

    Forgot to say Geoff that the reason the central heating wasn't working was due to a faulty sensor (1 of 4 apparently) and the gasman actually had the right one in his van.  We couldn't believe our luck as we expected at the very least a part would have to be ordered.

    Has anybody sampled Becks' cake yet?

    Caz-heating now working properly?-I bet the first thing you did this morning was feel the radiator?

    It isn't even in the oven yet Geoff! Have just mixed everything up in the bowl. It's only a basic sponge cake, with jam in the middle. image

    Glad you've got your heating back Caz!

    It's lovely and warm here now (sorry Jo!) - we were afraid to switch it off last night in case it wouldn't come back on this morning.
