Hi both xxx
Emptybox
you did well managing to get a bit of work done today.
Hope you can sort your bargain thermals out before the cold weather they say is due, hits us.
Hicky
hope your OH blood test is ok. How is her diabetes now? I think you said she just takes meds, but doesn't have to inject insulin?
Your new devices sound interesting. Hope you are pleased with them. Did you buy them from amazon?
Oh dear at the usual fun and games with HMRC! Aboslutely useless they are. Sounds like you will have need again for the plug in phone, with the amount of time they keep you hanging on. 
No my friend didn't know we were going to give any food to the dog. She thought she had got her appetitie back, but didn't realise until she started to eat, that she hadn't. The chef gave her a normal portion of meat, and she didn't take much veg, but only managed a couple of mouh fulls. I couldn't believe how little she ate. But this was the first time she had been out for 3 weeks, as she had felt so rotten. She obviously thought she fancied a cooked meal but is not ready for it yet. My daughter has taken 2 weeks to get her appetite back with this nasty cold. Still coughing too. That is the worst thing about winter, all these horrible bugs around!
I didn't realise your OH was so tall and size 8's are big for a lady. No wonder she walks fast, but it is so good that she is still able to do this, so soon after such a big op on her knee .
Too true our damn greedy MP's have no trouble agreeing to give themselves continual large pay rises.
Been busy sorting OH's contract insurance out and accomodation for next week when he has to work away.
Then went to Cardiff in the afternoon as had a few things to get and had to take back some PJ's that I got son for Christmas that didn't fit.
Neighbour bought us some lovely gifts back from India for looking after the doggie. A nice embridered top for me, 2 T shirts for daughter, paper weight and Indian wall hangings/cushion covers for the family to share. 
Goodnight both xxx
