yes hope you are right and it does warm up from now on, it should though as it is the spring equinox tomorrow. Hopefully today the ice/snow started to clear for you. We had a cold wind today, but it has gone now.
Gosh only 3 episodes of the Voice left, yes about time you gave it a go now. 
Glad you managed to get your papers despite the sludge.
For the jewellery, I don't have the official valuation letter with the figures yet, I am just going on what the valuer told us at the time was approximate. The problem will be if brother wants the same items as me for SIL, as she loves jewellery, then it may have to go to auction. So I will just have to see how things go. I am not bothered about value as I just want to keep it to remember mum, and mum did want me to have her jewellery as a keepsake (brother doesn't have kids), but she didnt' put it in the will.

hopefully the wind has eased there too now, it was a real cold one today.
I am sure you are impatient for it to warm up now so you can get your garden jobs done now.
What a shame your chillies got broken during delivery. Hope your OH can get some now.
I hope the optician can sort your eye problem out tomorrow.
Don't think I would give samosas a go, it sounds so fiddly, I would be bound to mess it up. But I am sure you will soon work it out, especially as you are practising.
That was lucky you were able to move the stuff to your lads suitcase as it is so expensive if you go over the weight on planes.
There is certainly a lot of tomatoes in that video! How did your tomato/rice dish come out? Hope you enjoyed it.
A lovely sunny day here today so got lots of washing dry. The wind was very cold but the dog decided she wanted to sit out, so I sat out with her, but I had my coat on and a blanket over me and sat in a corner to try and get away from the wind. It did not seem to bother the dog, even though she is old now, but her breed does originate from Tibet, and we have let her fur grow a lot this winter. So it must of done its job. She has like 2 layers to her fur. A soft undercoat and a longer tougher haired over coat. She is a non shedder, so we are supposed to brush her, but she doesn't like it so we dont' do it much. 
We just cut the knots out when we see them. Her fur is more like wool than hairs.
Watched 24 hours In Police Custody, what an interesting show.
I see the audition application for BB closed today, so all 3 of us missed it again!
Let's hope they select some interesting HM's this year.
Goodnight both xxx
