What are you all up to

Morning all.  I thought I would post something other than a gripe about the new CT forum.  We are off this morning to see our youngest grand-daughter in her school Christmas play.  She is an angel apparently - but then she always is to us.

Morning to you Millie. We need to get back to enjoying the new CT. I think I've got the hang of it now and I'm sure the CC will be working to improve the site each day.

Hope you enjoy the school play.

I'm off to try out our new local Lidl this morning...how exciting is that!? 

I too thought I would post something other than criticise the new forum, umh! ahh! ooh this is hard, uh I'll return later when I think of something

 New bathroom will be finished today, one whole week of being stinky will come to an end

Really, we had to go for a few swims at the local sports hall to shower

Hi, I'am finally back. 

Returned form a wonderful Christmas break at Castleton  to find a great new forum,  well it would have been, was able to log on but unable to post,  don't think my tablet and the new website were compatible, very frustrating! Got it sussed eventually, was able to check out the new website while I worked out a fix. haven't decided whether I'am impressed or not. 

Have been extra busy at work, and at home with loads of washing which I am trying to get dry., The engineers are coming tomorrow to fit the new part to the tumble dryer - yipee!! 

Caravan is filthy, don't suppose there is much point in washing it as it will have to be returned to storage at the weekend. No more breaks until next year now. 

Hope you enjoy the school play Millie, and Brue hope you find a bargain in Lidl.

Is  that the Yeovil one?  We have friends there and they were saying a new one was about to open.

Our store is old and fairly small, but we visited one of the new style ones when we were on holiday in September......huge range of products compared to ours.  Unfortunately no space where ours is to build a new one.

We love both Aldi and Lidl. Great bargains to be had.  I have just returned from Aldi and they have some wonderful Christmas food. 

The school play was wonderful.  The children were all great - 5 and 6 year olds and all word perfect and some had great acting skills.  Our little angel was wonderful.  The teacher stood on a table at the back of the hall directing them all the way through.  Everyone must have worked so hard. Not a dry eye in the house.

Glad you had a wonderful time in Castleton Helen.

Really pleased the play went well Millie, I love watching children perform too,  

Must admit I like Aldi, great bargains.

Our son has just sent me the pictures he took in and around Castleton while we were there, got to sort mine, may even be able to post one on here now!

Just done my new Lidl trip, spent more than intended of course! It is indeed the new Yeovil shop Kj, I think your friends will be suitably impressed. It has been very well designed, pleasant lighting and colours,  lovely wide isles, no overhead pricing banners, good layout and even has unisex loos. 

Hmm I'm all Lidl-ed out must recover now and start some serious pre-Christmas house tidying.

Yes, very easy to spend more than one intends!

OH was just out for odds and ends, including stamps for our cards, stamps cost 4 times as much as the cards, she is still in shock!
