Hello CE & Everyone.

Glad you and Tash enjoyed the play Chris. I like James Corden too, he's very talented.

Very strong wind and rain here on the Wirral peninsula but not nearly as bad as for you lads and lasses in Scotland.

Scouse for dinner tonight!

My advent calendar guess-an ice skating duck wearing a hat and scarf.

Glad you enjoyed the theatre Chris. I always think it's good to see "tellybox people" doing live theatre - my fave to date has to be when I saw the utterly delicious Marc Warren in The Rise & Fall Of Littlevoice in London in 2009. He was spectacular, a proper revealation having only realyl seen him in Hustle. And Little Voice was played by Diana Vickers (she from the X Factor a few years back) and she too was fantastic.

Not so sure about the crumbs in the bed situation though Chris!

Well, it's been a long dark windy day here and I am now on countdown for my lovely man to come home, share the spag bol I've just knocked up and imbibe in a glass or two of warming red wine. It's what winter nights were made for.

Maddy - enjoy your Scouse.

AliB - have a lovely girlie evening.

I'll be back in a bit to do the Advent thingy.

So glad you enjoyed your evening. Crumbs in bed are not a good idea. Weather cold and windy in Worthing. We have got our boxes unpacked and settled in now looking forward to Christmas.

Glad you're settling in Captain!

Hope you've not all been blown away by the gales - tis very quiet in here this evening.

Right, time to switch this gizo orf ..... but before I go, well done girlracer ....

IT'S A SNOWFLAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have lovely warm safe evenings.

Yeay! Well done Lin xx

Tis indeed windy out there tonight.

Just you lot take care if you are out and about especially all of you up north. x x

Just dropped boy1 at a prom night fashion show! Don't worry, he isn't planning to go in drag - he's doing the musical accompaniment!

The evening is a fund-raiser for a trip the school runs to Namibia each year - pupils have to raise money towards the cost of their trip and some work they do on a school

Boy1 has helped at several of these fund-raisers over the last couple of years - it's only just occured to me we should have had him on a percentage - he'd have raised the cost of a whole trip now!

Deevs, hope that's the only snowflake we see tonight!

Evenik All!

Hope all of you up North are tucked up safe and warm, it's a nasty one!

Glad you enjoyed the theatre Chris - last thing I saw was the Danny Boyle production of Frankenstein, only I saw it streamed version to my local cinema!!
I saw Jonny Lee Miller as the monster and Benedict Cumberbatch as Frankenstein, but as they swapped roles for every performance I'd love to see it the other way round aswell!

Tree has been purchased, and decorated.....but only after completely re-organising living room furniture, all for a 3ft tree on a table! And I don't like it so it may be moved again before Christmas is over!!

Washing up is calling, back in a bit

Hellooooooo!

I won I won I won!

Woot woot, a Snowflake!

Thats probably the most excited I shall get this Christmas!

Decided to go late night shopping tonight to make a start on the pressies. What did we buy?
Well, apart from sausage and chips in Harry Ramsdens....................Zilch!
However, we have come back with a few ideas, so I shall venture in on monday to make some purchases and do the rest online.

Calendar guess for tomorrow, a partridge in a pear tree!

Morning all

Ali - I cannot believe you haven't watched those films - you have an open invitation to come to my house between Christmas and New Year and watch them all ( I have most) and understand what we are talking about - and that is an honest invitation!

Baggy

Good Morning all, from a slightly calmer West Somerset.

There have been some shocking scenes on news bulletins from further up the country, so hope that everyone is safe and well?

I've just been looking at the Chris Evans Breakfast show fb site. So far this morning, it has 636 'likes' and 132 'comments!' I wonder if there is anything that can be done, to encourage some of them to pop along and add a post or two on here.

It looks like my 'not totally bah humbug' approach to a Christmas tree has been scuppered. There will be a tree after all, but not me having to put it up all by myself this year. My Daughter has offered to take on the task, so I shall be looking for something of a reasonable size, while out and about at the weekend.

Happy Days.

MTF :)

my guess for the calendar - a red shiney apple

which also happens to be my breakfast

oh and in the spirirt of sharing good news, no matter how trivial or irrelevant - I recieved a letter stating I have been made a fellow of my accountancy board - which I basically get for being an accountant for 5 years and maintaining high standards - so now I'm super bagpuss BA (hons) FCCA

Morning

I'm not here and I'm on the phone (tiny keyboard). So I'll just put in the standard guess for today. A Robin.

Morning All,

Lovely sunny day down south....with apologies to my Scottish friends. I hope the wind has died down and you and your loved ones are all safe xx

Baggy, Many congrats on the BA (hons) FCCA, well done you xx Thanks for the offer to come over and see those films, unfortunately I am pretty busy between Christmas and New Year xx

Now I keep forgetting to register my guess for the advent calendar which today is a Christmas Pudding :)

Second and final Christmas lunch today at the local Mexican!

MTF, Lovely to read you xx

Over and out
AliB

lol Ali - well I can always send them to you???

Sorry if I misled with my letters - I was already BA (hons) ACCA - but now the first A is a F for fellow - its just an age thing I think :-)

Morning

SB well done on becoming a fellow.

Shropshire seems to have missed out on all the bad weather blue skies with fluffy white clouds todays but cold.

Sausage and Egg sarnie is ordered - promise it is a one off but I just felt this morning that I needed a sausage and egg sarnie with brown sauce.

Glad to hear all the bloggers up north and over the border are okay, sounds like you have been through it up there.

My guess is a bobble woollen hat still please Deev's.

Have a good weekend one and all.

Hi everyone:

I would love to see One Man, Two Guvnors - I have heard it's fabulous.

Thank you to all you lovely bloggers for your good wishes yesterday to us "up here"! What a day - but we were very lucky, no damage to property and both MrS and I made it home safely. I do know that conditions were very bad where Mary lives. I spoke to her last night, she is fine thank goodness, but I know some of her neighbours were having a terrible time.

Re: It's a Wonderful Life: oooh, try to see it sometime. As Annie says, it is indeed a feel-good movie and it shows how important we are in the lives of the people we know - we have no idea just how much.

Baggy: Congratulations! Very well done - I would be using those initials on all my correspondence if I were you!

Last, but not least, Happy Birthday Donny Osmond! Donny, I still love you!

Have a good day one and all.

Good morning all,

Morning Baggy ,well done on getting another feather to you cap always nice when that happenes .

Morning also to you MTF,so pleased to see that there will be a tree in the fairy household after all.

Well it's a beautiful sunny day here on the south coast and I have the day off ,but it will be very much a busy day cleaning windows and washing nets and just maybe getting the tree up..

Hope that the weather for the girlies up north has abated some for you and thing s will get better for you

Take care all and stay safe...Bids.xxx.

How very kind...................... I'll keep it for best.

Birkenhead Market ? Reminds me of the first time I met Mr PJ. The venue was very crowded and he uttered the immortal words 'It's just like Birken'ead Market in here' Having at that point never visited that particular Market ( I have many times since) I couldn't comment. Now whenever the PJ's want to say somewhere's crowded - you've guessed it. Still can't say it the way Mr PJ does. It's something like Beark'nead - apologies to the English language !

Regards PJ
