Morning!

Here's a steaming hot smiley - cappuccino - just what you need on a freezing cold morning like this smiley - biggrin

The other half has taken our poor little smiley - dog out for her walk - she has no hat, no coat & no boots, but HE's completely wrapped up smiley - sadface - poor little mite will get frozen, but I'm ready to give her a rub down with a towel when she gets in (might even warm some milk for her) smiley - biggrin

I'm cold even indoors with the fire on - smiley - cool would be an understatement smiley - biggrin

Lovely. Very generous with the smiley - choc !!

Desperately cold here. Boiler's broken down and I'm typing in mittens.

Boys cycled to school, both wearing their Sherpa hats.

Your poor smiley - dog. Men can be thoughtless. on their way

smiley - yikes no heating! I'm glad I don't have central heating - heard too many tales of it breaking down & my mother had a terrible time with it a few years back. I rely on a couple of gas fires & an electric heater near the bathroom that turns on if the temp drops below a certain temperature. However, thank goodness for double glazing smiley - biggrin

Have you got a hot water bottle to hand? I find it's brilliant to warm up with (& comforting - aaah)

I take it you are at home? Or is this company policy to freeze the staff & expect them to work? smiley - laugh

I threw on the smiley - snowballsmiley - snowball

smiley - brr

No work today. Gas man's here ! He looks a bit smiley - skull, but his credentials are all ok. Honestly, they turn up in any old vehicle.

You are so wise not to have central heating. It can bring nothing but misery. smiley - wah

I hope mum's recovered from her experiences.smiley - ok

Saw your jokessmiley - laugh

smiley - teasmiley - cake soon

Everything smiley - ok now? Getting warm & gradually shedding all those thick jumpers & socks? smiley - biggrin

Or has it turned into a real nightmare? smiley - cheerup

Oh yes, it happened after my father went into a nursing home & mum knew nothing about the heating (or anything!). But after about 6 months, after a succession of different engineers smiley - sadface, the fault was discovered & fixed smiley - biggrin

Jokes? Me? - ah, on the word thread perchance - you picked it up!

Believe it or not I have just eaten smiley - porkpie + sausage + pickles, followed by a banananananananananana - can never work out how many ana's there are smiley - laugh

Aside: ahem, AHEM! (just waiting for a smiley - coffee - the other half is reading a book with the dog asleep on his lap. Sigh: suppose I'll have to put the kettle on - isn't life hard? smiley - winkeye)

Speak later - have you ever been to the Cross Purposes Pub? Go & have a look: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/A429310
Make sure you read at least a few of the previous pages though!

Two ns in banana. Joker. Yes, you.

smiley - ta for the flasks, etc., they'll definitely keep me going all evening!

When you get to it at the Cross Purposes Bar: I have a problem smiley - biggrin
I have no idea of how to get rid of the smiley - monsters, so if you have (but read what they've been made from!) either "chip" in & dispose of them in about a day - you'd be everyone's heroine I reckon - all their drink is disappearing smiley - biggrin (or let me know!) - just to keep you busy smiley - laugh

I've just been thinking (yes, I know it doesn't happen very often!), but they obviously wouldn't like smiley - coffee so they could be hosed down - like putting out a fire? I'd back you up!

Let me know. This site is crazy, but hey fun smiley - rofl

Hang fire on that idea - for now smiley - biggrin

Everything back to normal?

I've been ill today - tried some onions last night just to see if they still have the same result - they did smiley - sadface

Going to eat a little porridge now.

Hi smiley - sadface

Garlic & anything of the onion family I'm afraid - I used to have a cast iron stomach when I was younger smiley - wah

I managed most of the porridge, but no more thanks, am just having my 2nd normal smiley - coffee, but feeling really fragile. On top of that I've pulled a muscle in my hip & my sugar levels are all over the place smiley - sadface

It's my own fault for letting out those smiley - monsters smiley - biggrin

I'm keeping out of the way for now &,like you, lurking - just in case they solve it themselves smiley - winkeye Otherwise, when you're ready & if you want to, we'll do Plan A smiley - laugh

Thanks for being a smiley - nurse for me - really appreciate it. I'll just look around a bit & then go to bed again!
