Why can't I wear this to a wedding?
Strawberry plants- what is the problem with them, can anyone advise, please?

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark it doe not look as if it was as frosty as yesterday morning.
Quiet day today for me do some packing, as I am off on a short break tomorrow morning until Friday to Bournemouth , a festive break as opposed to a turkey and tinsel .
The TV situation as not changed , seems as though a part is needed so myself and others suffer another day without TV .
We have had electrocutions in rewiring , new lighting and smoke alarms plus new ceiling panels , which have covered over trap doors for TV cabling.
Hoping before I leave after 1030 tomorrow something has been done , but otherwise it will be when I get back will I have TV then .
Mick

Woken at 4.20 by a house rattling bang. Turns out it was a sonic boom caused by RAF planes rushing to a plane in trouble. Couldnt get back to sleep till about sixish. Now awake again but time clock all out. Sun trying to peek out
Marydoll you are priceless and every outing seems to involve a fiasco but so pleased you made NYC and things can only get better! Keep entertaining us with your adventures(I can feel a book coming on!) and enjoy your secret chocolate. We won't tell anyone!!! ??xxxx
Goodmorning Mick and all.
It's blue sky here in SE Essex, family have just left, I have just cleared up kitchen and dining room after a "full English" for eight!!!! Have to change four guest beds later!!
Mr.Gravy has got decorations out of the loft, I will start decorating house in a while, we have a real tree in the lounge that will not be brought in until 14 Dec, but I have realistic 3' artificial ones dotted round the other rooms.
Marydoll I hope your day in the big Apple is more "chilled" than your journey.
Hopefully out for a late Sunday lunch.
Be good, keep safe x
rufus, maybe mick doesn't read his pms and likes to only interact on an open forum.
marydoll and breathe!
Hello everyone
Today it is cold but dry and crisp here in Warminster which is pleasant weather.
Last night we enjoyed the turning on of the christmas lights here by Vicount and vicountess Weymouth(Of strictly come dancing fame and locally of Longleat)
Today we are turning on our own lights with a glass of good cheer and the odd mince pie or two. Yes it is a bit early to do this but after the sad year that we have had we decided that it would be good to do.
Hope that there is continuing good news from Gillybob and to all others who are unwell. 
Oh Roses no wonder you felt so proud of your granddaughter - that’s pretty amazing!
Good morning from a sunny but very frosty Glasgow which is actually a very scenic view......from my window?
Just taking things slowly getting the house ship shape again after decor etc. We keep putting off rehanging paintings etc. So I have been wandering around hoping to find tiny holes where picture hooks were previously ? ?
Hope everyone’s day goes well, especially for you gilly?
Hope all has settled down for you now Marydoll and you can relax and enjoy your trip after what was a nightmare of a journey. Why am I humming, ?Start spreading the news?.... Marydoll’s in town ?
Hi everyone, it’s now early afternoon, I just seem to get so busy with the dinner the morning just flies, it’s nice & sunny here on the east coast of Ireland but cold . Today I am cooking a nice ham in the oven with mushrooms, carmalised onions & Brussel sprouts . This will be the last Sunday dinner with DS & 2 grandchildren until way into January, oh I will miss these loves in my life but at least I will have FaceTime.
I hope everyone has a nice day .

Kitty; Thanks for your reply, but in fact the situation is quite the opposite. I only use PM if the topic is really personal such as medical chat, so I've never PM'd Mick and it shouldn't be necessary.
The problem lies elsewhere and that concerns me, because Mick doesn't seem to interact with anyone even in open forum, but all may be revealed in the fullness of time!
Thanks again.
Maybe Rufus2 Mick doesn’t want to interact with anyone else, it looks like it’s more your problem than his?
Good afternoon and hello to all from the Somerset/Dorset borderlands.
Wishing the gillybobs continued improvement ?
Took a hearty walk up to the top of Glastonbury Tor this morning. Perishing wind, but a fantastic sky made it worth while.

Nanny What on earth is that supposed to mean? If Mick doesn't want to "interact" with me, or anyone else it appears, I'm sure he has the good manners to tell me and I will completely understand.
Why should that be my problem?

Why should he Rufus2 ?
We are all different and perhaps he doesn’t feel the need to join in discussions.
No need for it to concern you.
Hello everyone from a sunny, but bitterly cold Durham.
Having an up and down sort of day today, not a happy bunny at the moment, so enjoying reading everyone elses news (particularly Marydoll atm), to take my mind off my own woes?
Hope things continue to improve for Gillybob.
Please be kind to each other?
Good afternoon all. Enjoying my first weekend as a 9 to 5er. I took a temporary job in retail to pay my bills, following 5 years at university (my mid life crisis consisted of successfully completing a biochemistry BSc hons, immediately followed by an MSc. New graduate me, was aged 54 and curiously no one wanted to employ me) so only got one weekend a month off.
Last Monday I finally started my first professional job (after over 80 applications in the last 2 years) following university. I am so grateful for the opportunity and the working hours and salary help tremendously too. I will finally be able to get some routine back rather than working shifts that included all Bank Holidays unsocial hours with no extra money and little flexibility for my caring duties.
EllaKeat,
for you] and hope things start to look better soon.
Also best wishes to Notagranyet1234 and well done you.
Hi to Rufus, don’t think Mick ever answers anyone so sure it's nothing personal, very odd though. Lots of others get involved in conversations/arguments as we know!!
After reading marydoll and her trip to New York I’m staying out next hear haha?? we need messages here that liven our day well done marydoll have a lovely time!
I don't know about " Fairy tale of New York " Marydoll's more Frank Spencer hahahaha.
notagrannyyet well done x
Rufus I think I have seen Mick pop back to the Good Morning thread, but only very early on. And I have occasionally seen him on another thread. But very rarely. Perhaps he only comes back on when he has nothing else to do. You may be in with a chance now the telly’s not working properly!
Rufus2 I wondered when the scottish mother would give you a serve again - she doesn't like you does she?
I have also wondered why Mick never respond after he posts. Seems a bit odd to me also.
Fat gran, Don’t think she likes anyone with an opinion!
