I have some hand-knitted extra thick bed socks, soop. I think my electric under blanket that I bought for myself last autumn has helped too—no chilblains so far this year!
What a difference a day makes 😢😢

Here we are again...
happy as can be
all good friends and jolly good company.
Never mind the weather,
never mind the rain,
as long as we're together...Woops she goes again.
A big, warm welcome and please continue to enjoy the companionship.
and 
until I return tomorrow. x
Thanks Corner, soop and Charley I failed to implode but that was due to the fact that when I mentioned on my daily call to get feedback this morning I told her the receptionist I had the UK MDs number and he was my next call.
My car will not be ready Monday - in fact its not even built yet!! No surprise there then. It will I am assured be ready by the first week in December. Which will never happen and I will eat Sam's dinner if I prove to be wrong !!
The young lady in question did not apologise for her catalogue of errors but proceeded to apologise for all her colleagues who failed me so miserably 
!!
I do not believe a word of course. I tried to explain we could have avoided all this with a timely call 4 months ago . The truth was all I wanted . But she seemed compelled to try and either ignore me or tell me out and out lies.
Anyway enough of all that !!!
I couldn't resist sharing these pictures. One of the boys at the most expensive pumpkin farm in the world One of Jackson's new bedding. And finally - my favourite an underwater picture taken at swimming lessons !
I'm going to log off. My patience is about to disappear into the ether. I've used up my entire vocabulary of wicked swear words. MacSporran gives a polite cough whenever I let rip. He's such a gentleman. 
jollyg I haven't heard heederum hoderum word for years, so thanks for reminding me . As soon as I read it I could hear my auld wee grandma using it to describe some mish-mash or other that members of her church choir got themselves into, and that she sorted out for them 
I don't understand one iota about 4G or whatever Galen, (does my iPad even have a sim card, where?) but if you now have what you ought 'er have, that's good enough for me.
I have just seen that numberplease is back with a new name (callgirl ) 
so lovely to see you callgirl , have been thinking of you and yours.
The rest of GN is totally depressing me at the moment - so much anger, bitterness and nitpicking!! (Present company entirely excepted)
So I will wish you all a peaceful and a good night
Morning all !!
I am feeling chipper this morning. Now I know my cars not coming I don't feel on tenterhooks so might as well just get on with it.
Welcome back number erm Callgirl how confusing is a name change eh? But glad you made it back.
Gorgeous sunset Galen amazing how a little beauty soothes our souls eh?
Today is mine to fritter use productively until late afternoon. We are taking our granddaughter to Scout camp for the weekend as Mummy and Daddy are giving her bedroom a total makeover as a birthday surprise. It will be lovely to spend a few hours with her. I took her to karate last week and she just seems to have lost enthusiasm for it and I can see it slowly grinding to a halt which makes me sad.
But at nearly 10 I think we have to give her the opportunity to make choices ( even if I think they're bad ones).
We took the 2 little boys to soft play for a couple of hours yesterday and then as a treat to Burger King . As we sat down watching them eat I took a closer look at Cooper and don't ask me how but the boy was filthy ! Not dirty....filthy!! I have no idea how it happened and he was perfectly happy but in 2 perfectly clean places the boy had attracted every scrap of available grime !!
Is it a boy thing I wonder...or a Cooper thing??
Have a wonderful day one and all ( PS 58 days to Christmas !!)
It's a boy thing! .
Super sunset Galen - hope you are feeling calmer this morning. 
Hope JL work the magic with your TV too, Lona. I would like someone to come and talk me through all the things that our smart TV can do as I'm fairly sure we don't use half of its functions.
Welcome back to the kitchen number!! I will get used to it!
Rambling Rector as a name for a rose makes the mind boggle, doesn't it, Elegran.
Glad you can take the philosophical view nandg - far less stress that way. I won't be showing Bertie the photo of the bedding - we'd never hear the end of it. He is another one who attracts every speck of dirt in any environment. His sister's hair knots as we walk out of the door however beautiful it looks immediately before.
Hope you can read this Soop!!
The Kitchen is up and running nice and early this morning.
It must be the darker mornings, because I'm not!! I woke up, and judging by the amount of light I could see round the edges of the curtains, thought it must be about 7 - it was quarter to nine!!
Don't have to be anywhere so it doesn't matter, so I am enjoying a in bed and catching up on GN .
Good for the children Charleygirl! (And good for you)
