Does anyone know if PayPal is down ?
I've ordered things on line today from two different sources and I usually get an email straight away to confirm my purchase but I've had nothing .
The transactions went through according to my account .

Aw sweet lil ole house.

[shaneystar2]

Yes that's very similar Jno.
It's turned very chilly .We're in for a cold snap according to the news .Cold winds from eastern europe and guess where they hit first.
Just remembered I've got a blood test in the morning and I've had a small drink.Oh well, that'll keep them on their toes looking for any alcohol running through my veins.
Night all.

Morning all. Very wintry here today and to think yesterday I was sunbathing!! Have done a hot wash and now expecting rain. D'oh!
Are you OK Robin with Ozzy gone? Horrid isn't it. Now all this fuss about holiday planes flying over Syria and Iraq. I wondered that when hija went but all was OK. Glad I'm not goingmy face is playing up like Billyho today think it may be a back tooth! !

[shaneystar2]

Brrr,it's chilly out there ,blowing a gale.
That was a wasted journey.I must be losing the plot ,my blood test isn't due until March so I escaped the needle but still had to have BP and general health assessment.
I don't understand why when I only have one issue of thyroid meds left and it says review due in October on it .I'll have to make an appt to see an actual doctor I suppose.What a palaver.
Hope you're all Ok .

Hi de hi, here I is...I've managed to cobble my big puta together well enough to get this far. I haven't reconnected the scanner or printer though, I don't need those in a hurry.

Yes neti, so sorry to see Ozzy leave, it breaks my heart but I pretend to be ok about it. He arrived home safe and sound at 1am their time today, 26 hours door to door :(.

Oh dear shaney, I hope you looked daggers at 'em. My blood has to be tested for Class OAP drugs :) And yes, I'm rolling about on my new carpet...cos I had to sell my furniture to pay for it. lol
Yes, it's very chilly here and breezy.

lol woofy, are you psychic? A few years ago some maintenance men had to lift my landing carpet to get under the floorboards. They relaid it all very nice and neat...so I thought...when I walked on it that night I discovered a mysterious lump which turned out to be a very large drill bit would you believe?

The things I do for wild life. Yesterday a starling had squeezed down inside the fat ball feeder (lid's broken off), obviously tried to turn around to get out and it was stuck, bent in half, poor terrified thing. The worst was it kept clamping it's feet around the wires to I couldn't move it any which way. My friend's OH half would have had some good wire cutters but they were out so I found some pliers (cheap ones so not particularly good) and had to cut it out, bit by bit. It took half an hour. My poor painful hand. To my surprise with one squawk it eventually wriggled free and flew off. I hope it was grateful.

waves to Jude Glad you're ok!

[woofgang]

ha ha Robi, yes thats me Mystic Woofgang. I must put my feeders out again, the birds have been sniffing around today, I don't keep them up all year because of the rats.

[netibiza]

One of the cats left me a dead rat outside yesterday. I had to spray it with perfumed disinfectant and then hurl to the waste ground at the bottom of the garden.

[shaneystar2]

Have you got this weeks winning Lottery numbers Mystic Woofy :)
Well done Robinia ,I hope he doesn't come back and poop on your washing,that would be most ungrateful of him ..lol.
I'll bet you were sad to see Ozzy go .It's such a long way away.Mind you some people never see their children and they only live round the corner .I have a great niece like that .She only gets in touch with her Dad (my nephew) if she wants something.
Anyway ..what's for tea ? Summat on tst for me probably as Mr S has been out wining and dining with some old colleagues for lunch today .Roughie toughie oilmen reunion..lol.He's the only one with a full head of hair :)
He's asleep now in the armchair .I won't get any more sense out of him today.

[Robinia]

What's for tea? :) Wild leek, chilli, lemongrass and coriander paste potato cakes with smoked trout and mange tout.

Not. :)

I've got some mashed taters in the fridge from yesterday, so I might add some cheese in and on those and bung em in the oven with a bit of fish out of the freezer.

[netibiza]

We are finishing off the curry from yesterday although it is a bit salty for my liking.

Hello again. 2 days on the run must be feeling better :-)
Good relaxing day today at Tai chi. Then off to the Marina for Lunch. £5 for what they call a mini lunch and you can have a mix of what's on the board. I had a brilliant bubble and squeak and a battered fish with tartar sauce, piccalilli and Branston pickle. Then we were offered a free pud. I thought about the sugar and just had vanilla ice cream. Friends had plum crumble and cream.
Poor little bird Robi it's good you managed to rescue it. A cat got a pigeon in my garden once and I chased it away the bird was bleeding and died within minutes. That's nature though isn't it.
Haven't done a deal since I got home. Just a load of washing. Not looking forward to ironing.
Going to change channels on the telly can't watch the news. Laters gaters! Have a good evening.

[netibiza]

I washed our king sized bedding even got it dry as it didn't rain although very overcast, and then ironed it all and out it away. Lovely feeling. I've asked sis to get me that new phoenix gold iron. My friends have them and it it supposedly easy to iron and only need to iron one side of shirts, jeans and hopefully duvet covers.

[netibiza]

Good morning. It's a grey,wet and windy day here. The howling wind woke me a not 5am, then some screeching cats so have been awake a while now.

[Robinia]

Hello, good morning and welcome to my little website...oh no, it isn't mine is it? I'm getting carried away by those who seem to think it's all theirs. They dun 'alf go on about 'no big deals' some of 'em.
It's very chilly, a real feel of Arctic I think but the sun's shining.
I think I'm going to have to consider a laptop (after Christmas), all this paraphernalia's ruining my new look minimal living. :)

[woofgang]

lol Robi....and to rejoin AB just to moan about how boring it is seems to me to be the height of stupidity. I think Shughy has bitten a wasp, he came running in from the garden and his face puffed up on one side as I watched it...idiot. Anyway he has gone to sleep and ate a huge lump of chicken with piriton in so I think he'll be ok. I hate taking him to the vet because he hates it so much.

[netibiza]

We've had storms and sun! Pool half empty now.
Sis is coming out this
saturday for a week, yippee and she's got my new iron!

I've booked my seat for The Nutcracket ballet for January, I was the first to buy as it went online, got the best seat right smack bang in the middle of the front row, my gbf has bought the one next to me.

My poor older sister apparently has degeneration of her jaw, wear and tear, so she is having numbing injections. Hope it sorts her out, there's nothing else they can do. They should have been flying to Dubai today! :-(
I have raging toothache but no idea what tooth it is and whether this has been the cause all along but doubt it, I can't have many more teeth out, haven't that many left!

Just made a chicken and mushroom and onion pie. Mr N like pies, I don't.

Hope you are all Ok and silly shugy is better!!
