What are you all up to

Hope your son has good luck with the move Helen, a big area to choose from!

Finger crossed for the weather Millie and Mr H's cataract op. We're supposed to be going out tonight to a supper and social gathering. It's via very rural unlit lanes, I'm hoping the weather holds off and the OH feels up to going out, both of us coughing in unison now! 

JVB. It had crossed my mind to book into FM over the weekend so I could use their washing machine but as Mr H is having a cataract op tomorrow I don't think he would be up for it! I am already looking at John Lewis website so I am prepared.  We have an upper figure in mind that we will not go beyond for repair.

brue - I hope you and Mr brue feel better soon and that you have a nice evening out with no bad weather.

We were going to head down to The Ranch CC for the weekend but due to the weather we ate going to sray at home hopefully get away next weekend

Ooops guess you don't get a lot of frost down your way then 

I know the feeling brue, hope you are both feeling better soon. We are at the stage of still stuffy head but noses clear, cough but not keeping us awake, more irritating than anything.

Hope you do manage to get out tonight and the snow holds off. 

we have a lovely sunny day now, snow is still on the ground so it must be cold still, haven't ventured outdoors yet though may go for a short walk soon.

 'Rained off' today ,warm though .Pottering about today at the B/yd.Getting dark early too.

I did eventually find it through Google. It was a non ehu set up with a poor review. I've just had another look and google can't find it again! I put in Certified Location at Bishops Sutton. Never mind.

Managed to get out into Bath this morning. Rain came down about 11.00.  

Mrs.WN quite happy as she bagged a new pair of walking shoes from Cotswold Outdoors. Discount from CC still applies.

Good meal at an Indian restaurant for lunch. Back to cooking from tomorrow!

Woke up to snow on the ground this morning, not too bad here, but more on the south side of the city.  Sunny later then snow off and on, tomorrow will be bad if we do not get a thaw.

Picked up the new towcar today (VW Touareg), whole process took about 90 minutes with talk through of  controls, hand over of old car and hiccup in trying to pay for new one.

   Apparently there is some (top secret) arbitrary limit on debit card payment amounts with Halifax  which neither we, the salesman or the girl at the bank knew about, so several phone calls were needed to sort that out.  In the end they had put it through as 2 separate payments.

Went up the road to DD's house for lunch and to give her a very short test drive (only 3 times round the block).   Then had to drive home in the snow after stopping at Morissons to  fill  up the fuel tank.

Will take a wee while to get used to the car, brakes are very nippy and over enthusiastic use of the accelerator sends it into take off mode!  The Volvo was fast on acceleration, but this VW is much faster.

Lots of new toys in it  to get to grips with so will be spending the evening, and probably all of tomorrow studying the handbook!

The rain started just as it got dark.  It is absolutely teeming down. I just hope it doesn't turn to snow. I have just heard on the news that some Lincolnshire seaside residents have been advised to leave their homes and go to centres that have been set up further inland as a storm surge is expected tonight.  Jaywick in Essex is also on alert.  Keep safe everyone.

We are there with  some friends from next Thursday so if you are not sorted
