Oh dear, sorry your shopping trip ended up not even supplying you with your staples, after all your efforts just to get there and back.
Some people must be stockpiling or something like that for the shops to run out of  bread and milk like that. 
Hopefully you have enough food to see your through for a while though. Perhaps you could have a bash at bread making?

Sounds like a good idea to cancel your dentist appointment for a little while.
Has it snowed there again today?
No more snow here, but very icy and frosty.
Glad to hear you too have the thermals, it would be wise to wear them next time you venture out again.
Hope your postie turns up soon.

CBB time. Wonder if we will like the new HM? Hope so.

Hi Mollie, Darloboy & Emptybox.

I've heard that you can put a few litres of petrol with each tank of diesel to stop/slow down the gelling of the diesel when the temperature gets below -10 degrees.
Talking to a chap in the Landrover factory today, he said he'd put 8 litres of petrol in and filled the tank up with diesel.
He never noticed the difference.

Stacey being a big girl is bound to have fairly big feet otherwise she would probably fall over.
She is probably at least size 7 to 8.

Agree with you Emptybox, her long legs would be handy for you to get to the shops and that, considering the depth of snow.

Yeah, that's just what I was thinking Hicky.

Not sure i would put any petrol in with your diesel? I would have thought there was already some additives in it? Not sure?


I think I'd rather that girl you mentioned was going in to the house, rather than the Trump woman?
However I suppose Ivana is more likely to stir things up.

 Emptybox.. do you think this Ivana woman is likely to stir things up then? Seems strange to me how they dont select many Brits for CBB now, wonder why the fly so many in from abroad? Goodnight all
Actually, thinking about it, the ex of both Dane and Alex would probably have stirred things up more.
But i suppose Ivana Trump is more of a known name.

Night Mollie.

That sounds sensible Hicky.

By popular request, here is another couple of snow pics that I took yesterday before digging my car out.

This one is another 'road' one, but you can see the hills in the distance.

This is the front of ma hoose.
Can you spot the car and the van?

That's a sort of rustic trellis affair in front of the car.
emptybox
Emptybox..
as Darloboy says... Wow! What lovely pics. It is just so pretty where you are, and how lovely the stone cottage looks with all that snow surrounding it. Thanks for posting them.
Hope your cereal is ok with the choccy milk in it.

We are going to see Les Miserables in Cardiff Bay this afternoon. Luckily we bought the tickets ages ago, before OH lost his job, so at least it is like a free day out for us now.   It is very popular, they sold all the tickets some time ago.

Hicky
do you have the family coming over today? I hope you and the family are all well now.

Darloboy..
that is good news for Danni, I remember reading recently that she was worried if she didn't have a baby soon, she would be too old.

Hope you all have a good Saturday.

Just had Firefox update itself to v 3.5.7 but it didn't ask permission to go on the web so it can't.
Bit of a blow as it had about 20 windows, if I used tabs it took too much CPU up.

Now I have just got about 14 tabs on IE, but I don't run Flash on IE because it srews it up.

Firefox did the same at work last week as well.

I'll see if I can remove it again and reinstall.

Was watching CBB recordings but some of the gang came, will have to wait now.
Hicky
Afternoon.

Well that forecast site was right. It was down to -12 again here last night.
Not nearly so cold now though.
It's snowing heavily here at the mo. Not sure if there's enough to keep me from my appointment on Monday? I'll make a judgement about that on the day.

No postie again.  I might have to wait weeks for my post.
Wonder if there's somewhere I can go to collect it? Mind you, it's difficult enough for me to get out at the mo.
They've done away with the post office in the local village, otherwise I could have walked to that to collect.

The cottage does look pretty. I agree Mollie. But all this snow is begining to pee me off now.
I can't stand it being soo difficult for me to get out anywhere.

Haven't tried the choccy milk yet. I had muesli this morning, so I used some ordinary milk, but I'm down to my last bottle of that, so it'll have to be the choccy soya stuff tomorrow.

Have fun at Les Miserables Mollie.

Your Firefox problem sounds similar to the problem I had when I tried to install Google Chrome a while back. I just could not get it to connect to the internet. I tried making sure the exe file had permission in my firewall, but to no avail, so i abandoned it.

That sounds like good news for Danni darlo?

Love the Snowy pics, it looks so lovely in the winter.

still can't get Firefox to work, removed and reinstalled, but my Windows live OneCare seems to have a problem as well, and that controls the Firewall.
It could be connected aomehow.

Plwased for Dannii, I know she wanted to start a Family, she must have enough Dosh by now.

It says -4 outside on the snow.

Still watching my CBB live recording.
Think Ivana will be 3 weeks emptying her case
Hicky
I've lurked in this thread for a while now instead of posting.


Hope you're well Emptybox, it snowed here for a bit earlier. Chocolate milk tastes nice had some before, but Soya is yuckkk lol...


Brilliant news which means she'll probably not be back next year anyway I would love for Sharon Osbourne to come back or Charlotte Church to join the panel.
darloboy (Play The Game!)
Not sure who my favourite is darlo?

The only one I dislike at this stage really is Stephen Baldwin. And that's because he keeps pushing his fundementalist views.

Must admit I'm finding the Jonas/Katia thing a bit sickly as well, although I like them as individuals.

I just put another batch of Mollie's crumble in the oven.
This time I made it with raspberries, so I don't know how it'll turn out.
I only had 160g of raspberries, so made half the amount of the usual crumble mix.
Looking forward to having it with my supper.

I couldn't get any mince yesterday, so can't have my usual Spag Bol tonight.
I think I'll still have the spaghetti, but make it with tiger prawns instead?

Good Evening Everone.


Am going to reboot Puter to see if it helps sort the problem.
If it doesn't i'll put Avast on and get rid of Livecare and let Windows look after the Firewall.

Was making some Brandy Snaps before, not too bad, but they must use a special oven not a normal one.

They have the temperature on the expanding toffee even, couldn't get that.
They aren't too bad though, but too much messing and too slow as you can only make a couple at a time.

Went out for a paper and a spin in the car, not a lot of fun, it's pretty well clear on the main road, it's thick ice on my road though.

Just watching the midday CBB live feed.
Watched the overnight one.
Not bad really.

Don't think much of Ivana, can't see wha she'll bring to the show.

Can't see anyone missing Heidi, all she does is sleep, she's dreadful.

Loving similar to Darloboy, Sov, Jonas, Sisqo, Katia,  but I like Nicola as well.

What happened to the lips, Heidi has the same trouble as that other feller the other year.
Hicky
Well, I got Firefox to work again, it was the Windows live OneCare that had froze, not a nice thing.
When I rebooted it came up and siad it was out of date.
Anyway it updated in a split sec and when I ran the new firefox version 3.5.7 it asked for permission as usual.


Doesn't Heidi look a mess walking round, I thought she was going to walk anyway?

Just made a nice soup, used a cottage pie veg mix, with a few flavour pills and added a bit of a left over chicken, it turned out very nice anyway.

Been watching, 'So you think you can Dance', amazing dancers as well.


And we have the DOI starting tomorrow.

Ivana gets mosquito net for bedroom

Day 7, 19:02 GMT

By Jen Grieves

Ivana gets mosquito net for bedroom

Channel 4

New arrival Ivana Trump has been given a mosquito net to go over her bed.

According to The Sun, Ivana demanded the net from Big Brother producers, claiming that it is to protect her from flies.

But the tabloid claims that the real reason is because she is afraid of appearing on television without her make-up on.

A source is reported as saying: "We told her this is Elstree in January, not the Caribbean.

"She wants some time in the mornings to put her make-up on before she faces the cameras."

------------------

The only problem is importing the Mosquito's from another country, she didn't say how many she wants to be protected from?

Hicky
Yeah I like Nicola and Stephanie at the mo.
And Vinnie can be quite funny.

My spaghetti was a success.
I fried a clove of garlic in olive oil, added some spring onions and tomatoes and some dried basil and a little chilli powder. then I added the tiger prawns and a couple of chopped up mushrooms. When it was nearly ready I added a bit of single cream and just brought it to the boil. Then I served it on top of the spaghetti which had been cooking at the same time. It was really nice.

The raspberry crumble was nice too, but a bit over-done.
I posted on here that I had put it in the oven, but then I forgot about it, so it got nearly an hour instead of half an hour.  
Wasn't too bad though.

Hope Mollie enjoyed her show.
emptybox
Good Morning Everyone.

Your Prawn Spaghetti sounds very nice Emptybox, bravo, and your Raspberry Crumble sounds great as well, all food that I love.

I don't think Stacey will have any trouble keeping up with Joe, bet the clubs would rather have Stacey singing anyway.

And he has probably changed his number because of the abuse you get these days when your number gets out

Will be going out to get the papers anyway.
Our road is like a skating rink, but good fun.

Looking at the 7 day forecast it has Light Snow down for every day next week.

PS.
The good news is, the temperature will be up to between 0 and +3 deg.
Hicky
Good afternoon all
Emptybox...
Glad to hear your Saturday dinner came out well, despite the fact you weren't able to buy your usual ingredients. Glad the crumble came out ok with raspberries. I bought some blueberries today, to make the crumble.
It sounds like the cold spell is over now, so hopefully you will be able to get out and about again soon.

The Les Miserables show was really good, thanks. Very elaborate, and professionally done,  with a big cast. The theatre was full too.

Hicky
hope you had fun on your ice run in the car.   It is above freezing here today, and was last night too, so it is thawing here now.
Your brandy snaps sound nice. Did you fill them with cream?

I like Nicola too.   She is friendly with everyone,and seems interested in knowing about them all. She is even patient with Stephen, and I love some of the funny things she comes out with. I thought it was so funny when they were admiring Sisqo in the mankinie ..."that;s a big one " she whispered to Sov.   I rewound to check what she had said.  
And I like Sisqo too, I think he has a nice sense of humour.
Not keen on seeing this "romance" stuff all the time though.

Darloyboy
Are you watching DOI tonight?
I like banana cake, but havent made it for a while. I must dig out my recipe for it, and make it again soon.

Hope you all have a good Sunday.
M
Hi.

I should think Katia might go out of those three darlo. Unless there is a backlash against Heidi for asking to leave?

It's been thawing here as well. There's still snow everywhere, but water dripping from the roof, and the snow has gone from the tree branches.

I got down to the village to get my papers, and also some milk. I even got a postal delivery.
Don't think I've ever had post on a Sunday before? Not for many many years anyway.
So it's looking good for me keeping my appointment tomorrow morning.  Not that I'm looking forward to a dental appointment, although it's just a check-up.

There seems to be a bit of snow forecast here for Tuesday and Wednesday, but I think tomorrow is clear.


Glad you enjoyed the miserable show Mollie.
emptybox
Well It's hi to Mollie, Darloboy and Emptybox.

It looks like it's still above freezing anyway.

Watched all my recordings, saw DOI, brill, have seen CBB, god the Dance recordings to watch yet.

Went out for a spin to get the paper with Chanelle centre pages again.

If Heidi, Katia & Sov are up for eviction then I hope Heidi goes, don't think she would be missed all she does is sleep.

I'm not working tomorrow.

I have got the cream for the Brandy Snaps, but haven't made one up yet.

Never heard of a mail delivery either Emptybox.

Well it says I will get snow every day next week.
Hicky
