Have you been there?
I've never been in Cahoots.
Apparently, you can't go alone; you have to be in Cahoots with someone.
I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.
I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work.
I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.
I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.
I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.
Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older.
One of my favourite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!
I may have been in Continent, and I don't remember what country I was in.
Life is too short for negative drama & petty things. So laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly!
No one can drive you cRazy unless you give them the keys.

Bakewell Tart
It took me an hour to get to my first job today a journey that takes 20 mins max and it had nothing to do with the snow.It was a set of temporary traffic lights they caused mayhem.
Apart from that work was fine.
When i got home DD and i decided to try and rearrange the furniture... One of my radiators is behind the couch its about 12 inches away from it but not an ideal position.So we wouldn't to see if we could free up the radiator. Now my front room is quite long 26 ft long...we moved the 3 seater couch and then moved it back to its original position.We could not move it anywhere without it looking odd .Would you believe a room that size and my couches have to stay in the same position..
Dinner tonight is fish pie , i also made my first bakewell tart,picture below OH came straight in and tried a small piece.
Hope everyone is ok and the weather isn't affecting anybody too much .
Until later

Snow ......
No doubt you will see lots of pictures of the snow but even so here are a few pics from my neck of the woods.
View from front door of house
View from DD's bedroom
View up back garden
view from my room up Lane
The orange glow to the sky is weired. OH also commented that when it snows its the only time at night you can see to the bottom of the garden.
Now it can melt.......

Trip to London
When i finished work today,i came home and picked the family up to drive to London.
DD and her boyfriend are finally going to stay at The Mayfair.
This break had to put off due to DD breaking her ankle.Still was not the ideal time to go as she is still on crutches.
We offered to drive them to the hotel for 3 reasons.
1. the car park the hotel use is at least a 10 min walk away and costs £30 for 24 hours.
2. train fair worked out at about £45 each
3. i didn't think she would manage hobbling on the train and tube.
The journey was easy it took 50 mins door to door.
My DD read up on the Mayfair after she booked it and was a bit shocked at some of the reviews this 5* hotel had. So she emailed them and said she was worried about the reviews as she had spent a lot of money, She had a nice reply back promising they would do there best to ensure a good stay.
So today when she checked in she was informed they had been given an upgraded room,which looks lovely( pictures were emailed to me)
We will go back tomorrow to pick them up.
Snow arrived (sprinkling).I don't like snow.

Long day at work...
Long hard day at work today and then to top it all i had to go and do a few errands.This added 1 &1/2 hours to my day.It was wonderful to get home even though it was cold in doors.DD had wrapped her self in a blanket as she had turned the heating off, bless her for being so thoughtful.
Dinner tonight was homemade burgers and chips.This worked out at 70p a head for everything and it was lovely
even if i do say so myself.
Would like to say a big thank you to Anne from marmalade and catmint for my seeds that arrived today.
Hope everyone is copping ok with this cold weather.

Im cold.....
I know it sounds like I'm being a bit of a woos but its cold here.My heating is set at 18 degrees so its ok indoors if you have a blanket over you.
My monthly direct debit has gone out for gas and electric and I'm in credit with my gas,this will only be short lived as new bill due end of the month for the last quarter.
Had to take dd into town today she had an appointment, she hobbled into a couple of shops but not many as i hate shopping.I must be one of the few women that dislike clothes shopping.
I earned my 1st £5 Amazon voucher yesterday through swagbucks,it takes a while to come through but it will be nice to save these up for gifts.
Also wanted to let you all know about and offer which is available to all in the UK , Picked up 10 snickers when i got petrol this morning.picked up 3 lots of meat for £10 from M&S A cucumber and £15 worth of petrol and paid £24.94 you do the maths i got a bargain.
Here's the link to print the vouchers hope it helps somebody

The plaster cast is off
DD had her hospital appointment this morning,all went very well. Xray showed her ankle is healing nicely, so much so her cast could be removed.
The ankle and surrounding area is still very swollen which surprised me as its 6 and half weeks now.Dr said this is normal and will go down. She has to learn to walk again now as its quite scary the thought of bearing weight on it.We have to wait for a physio appointment and she has to still use her crutches,but you can imagine her delight at being able to have a bath without her leg hanging over the edge and to do a bit of necessary maintenance..... 6 and half weeks of hair growth...... and very old fake tan...
After work i popped to bank and walked passed a charity shop.Ive been looking for a little teapot for ages and found a lovely little set which is Cath Kidston ish very pleased.
Hopefully my solar light charged today its not flashing now.Cant remember if i took a photo of it but it looks like a silk lampshade. it looks very yellow in the picture but its actually white.
Decided to sign up to Ad thing on here, every penny is going to help with my debt busting.
