yes very odd how LL has given you another call over something trivial when you have not seen her for an age.

I missed the Steph and Dom thing. What side was it on, and I will see if I can find it.
I agree longjohns are a better option than forking out for oil. I wear my teddy onesie and have a teddy blanket for when I get chilled sitting watching tv at night. We still have the heating on though, but not too high. They do say, that there is no such thing as bad weather, only incorrect clothing. As HIcky says, I wouldn't think of chopping trees though.

lucky the insurance was a lot cheaper this year. I had heard the USA insurance is expensive as medical care does not come cheap there! Did you have you list all your ops etc?
How nice of you to treat your OH to brekkie in bed.
Could you bung a few £ in your gardner's direction and ask him to take delivery, then plant them for you?
Your loaf looks delicious. I bet it smelt and tasted delicous too.
What a luxurious looking place that looks, what a treat for you and OH especially after putting up with our winter weather here!
Thanks for the Shipwrecked reminder as I hadn't realised it was on every night. It has been years since we last saw it, remember it used to be on Sunday mornings?
My son needed a girl's voice as he was adding sound to a Marvel film clip, (including voices), so needed a girl to do the girl hero voice. The tutor was well pleased with what he did though, which is good, as he put a lot of work in. Including us all going to the beach over Christmas hols and his dad shovelling sand/stones whilst he recorded it.
It was pouring here today, with snow I heard on the hills and valleys not far from here, but not here. Very cold though. Met son at lunchtime, we went to Gregs for takeaway, and ate it in the car. He got chicken bake and I got their delicous tomato soup. £2.50 for both, so a bargain.
OH went to pub for tea today, steak and ale pie, chips and peas. Not much fun eating it alone, but at least they had football on the tv for him.
Watched Secret life of 5 Year olds, so funny and very cute. 
Watching A and E now. And recording Shipwrecked, watched half of it from last night, looks really promising.
Goodnight both xxx
