Posted on 14/12/2018 15:48 by WherenextGlad you've settled in, Nellie.
Went around the village delivering cards this morning, both ours and a few elderly neighbours who can't get about very well. Quite a nasty wind even in the sun.
Then took the ladies to a Garden Centre for bauble hunting whilst I stocked up on bird food.
Made an appointment to see a doctor, or should I say, will receive a phone call from one on New Years Eve for a telephone consultation, which ironically will be a fortnight quicker than seeing someone. Goodness knows how she is going to examine the area affected!

Just came on for a few mins especially to see if I could log in and I find some grey person has pinched my very own piccy space -- wouldn't mind normally but He / She / It ain't got a beard nor wearing specs -- Have I been expelled from the Funny Farm AGAIN ??

Yes a few tweaks again. Couldn't type on my tablet yesterday, no text box, but it was there on my phone! Both Samsung. Back today.
Another grey day again today, Wednesday and Thursday were cold and bright. Very cold but no wind yesterday today the breeze is icy.. no worries I'm going to cake nake today and we'll finish putting up the decs. A job I loathe but like it when it's done. It's also early for us a they usually go up the weekend before Christmas Day but don't come down until 12th night. Of course the house had to be thoroughly cleaned, don't do much once the decs are up 😉. Sorted some decs and took to the charity shop yesterday and stocked up on the last if the non perishable items.
What do folks do to display cards? We used to hang across the walls on strings but as we've had our walls plastered it's not allowed now! We have more than our surfaces and once curtains are closed, for long hours at the no, they're unseen. Answers on the thread please, too late for postcards.
Hope you folks are staying warm and occupied? Weather not looking good for travelling in some areas so take care if you have to be out and about.

B2, Christmas cards, I slot them into our books as we have a couple of tall bookcases, when that runs out I Sellotape them to the doors in the hall.
By the way I copied the avatar, edited it to 500 and then used paint to "improve it," anyone else up for a go?

We are away in the van at the moment just for a couple of nights. We arrived on site yesterday at anout half 2 it was very cold setting up but we had to go to Morrisons so left the heating on when we were out and by the time we got back the van was nice and cosey. It feels very festive here SWMBO brought a small table top Christmas tree and some lights to put round the van we havent even put the decorations up at home yet. We met up on site with relatives who have a MHome so we were entertaining last night in our van its an annual christmas meet we all have. Vry cold again today we are hoping the roads aren't too bad for the journey home tomorrow.

Brue, must have felt telepathic thoughts from you as you typed. We have a solid bannister so have blutacked our cards in there. Very attractive they look too.
Like the Christmas avatar, are you brave enough to change yours?😂🤣.
Two cakes made and left over ??? Mixture popped into individual cake cases and cooking in top oven, maybe ok as cakes or pudding with custard 😂😂. Didn't check the amount of mixed spice in the container, not enough so quick dash to Tesco's - freezing 😯❄🌬, cuppa finished off to clear up the kitchen. How do I make such as mess? No idea, dont usually 😱
Francis sounds lovely.
