    The £55 million a day we send to the EEC would go a long way here for starters, and that is without the benefits given to EU  migrants who are "looking for work" but cant find any.

    I like the HD telly, but 3D at the cinema gave me a headache, so thats as far as I will go. The 4D or is it 4G?look good in the shop, but expensive and no one is broadcasting in it, and you would need new DVD player etc.

    We bought the last two tellys from John Lewis, excellent service.

    Morning all.

    Cold and foggy, but we are promised sun, so a few more coffees, then out there.

    I am afraid I am a chav, love my big tele for the sport and movies.

    Agree with you Hosta about savings though. How can you save £50, when you don't have enough money to get to the end of the month.

    They plan on reducing disability support in the budget as well. The rich get richer, and the poor, well who cares about them.

    I hate this government.

    Sorry political rant over.

    Have a nice day.

    We have a 42" HD TV bought 6 years ago. The room is quite big so we don't sit very close. Daughter has a TV that you can watch DVDs in 3D, I watched a bit  with special glasses on and it made my eyes ache.

    The horse dentist has just been. Daughter's horse wasn't chewing properly, teeth had worn unevenly making sharp bits on the edges which hurt her cheeks. Had them filed down, but she was afraid of the drill so he sedated her. I must keep an eye on her and not put her back with the others until she's perkier.

    Bootiful day here, have to run a few errands and then planning on getting into the garden.  Have some plants to pot up and will prune hydrangea limelight (now that Verd and others have given me some advice). 

    Really aching from the last two days but have enjoyed being in the garden so much. 

    Had to get up at about 1.00am this morning as I suddenly realised I hadn't closed up the greenhouse and the cold frame.  I thought we might get a frost as we had had such a clear day. Really annoying as I was just dropping off to sleep when the thought entered my head.

    When we bought our new TV last year we could have bought 3D for about the same money. I think it's fine if you watch telly alone, or with just one other person, and you all sit directly in front of it.

    Not needed in our house.

    BTW am I the only person who still can't see the difference when folk switch their telly between HD and not HD?

    Local news on the Beeb is not HD. I can see the difference.

    HD takes up a lot more room on the recorder box.

    The blue badge scheme is certainly abused. I watched the disabled parking spaces outside M&S, the Range rover I could have got out of, but the Mercedes convertible, I  would have struggled to get out of, and my mother certainly wouldn't have made it. Neither of us are registered as disabled. Odd how the people who get out of cars with blue badges seem to walk better than I do with my arthritic hips.

    When mother in law was still moving, albeit slowly, hubby got a wheelchair to be able to move her around quicker when they went out. He got told off for using a disabled bay without a blue badge, despite having someone in a wheelchair with him.
