I have an easy day planned. I shall take a snap of the Christmas tree. It's not a posh one like Geoff's (which we've already had a glimpse of).
To add to the the discussion about Broadband suppliers: I used to be with Orange, and found the service was occasiaonally unavailable, perhaps for half-an-hour, perhaps once a fortnight.
Then last Autumn, on a very windy day, a branch of a tree brought the wires down. BT (who look after the wires) were out within an hour. Reconnecting wasn't easy, as the cable had to be threaded through trees, but I was impressed. BT had always been sending me offers, inviting me to switch to them, so I decided to do that. Switchover was simple and painless. I haven't had any trouble at all with my service now, for over a year. My service is just Broadband, and uses overhead copper wire. Haven't got fibre optics, or TV from them.
Morning all , trust we are all well. Poor Dean, hope he's had a good sleep.
Well this time next week my hand will be up a turkey's unmentionable.
Can't believe the big day's only a week away. Have to brave the shops today. Not looking forward to it but need to check dates and things.Still haven't finished the snowflakes in the conservatory but I'll do a few a day. The boys love them and they do look nice and festive.
Enjoy bashing your balls Geoff,and Gary - I'm looking forward to seeing your tree adorned with V.H.S. tape.
Geoff, is that no. 5 or no. 19. I'll go with shepherd.
Inka, good plan, I am doing a similar thing with branches and holly in a very large vase. I bet it smells wonderful. Would you be able to shout a hello to my family in Campbell River, you are closer than me.
Christmas preps are all well on course, presents bought and to be wrapped, house decorated, but still got baking to do.
I like that idea Inka, my daughter brought me a lot of branches of bay, and I was given some holly, so along with some rosemary I will have a go at doing a decoration for the conservatory. Should smell lovely, might do some oranges studded with cloves as well.
We are at a Christmas party and panto at Mums residential home this afternoon.
On the subject of broadband, we are with Virgin Media, cable, for phone as well, no complaints.
Having put all the deoration boxes back up in the wardrobe, now have noticed this morning that daughter has only deorated the one side of the tree! Ok t'other side isnt visible as next to a radiator & patio curtains, but that's not the point! I didnt notice it last night though when I closed the curtains & when the lights came on.... BTW timer for lights brilliant!
Since postie rang bell with small parcel for daughter earlier- I was up, but definitely not 'with it' - methinks she owes me..... J.
Woke up to no electric this morning, as I had forgot to top up the card yesterday with rushing around, so mad dash to the shops (without coffee ) to do that!
Everything back up and running now. Not decided what jobs to tackle yet.

Awake too early again

Morning forkers,

Forgot again. A wise man for the choc.
