h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Im still here.
Its been one of those weeks. You do something different and it throws you completely
And next week isnt going to be any better

Luckily I live high up, so I dont get affected by any water, but 3 miles away is the Ironbridge gorge which is always flooding around now. Its quite spectacular to go and see the force behind the water

hi helen

just back from town, i got a new coat, simulate leather in a medium brown, this pockets top and bottom both sides, a small one on the sleeve.and a fixed hood, (i like to keep the rain and snow away.) i take lots of things with me when i go out lol.
-
cost £20, then on the way home a mate gave me a real red leather one. but only one button, not for winter wear.

I got my leather jacket from the QVC shop in Shrewsbury. It was marked at £28ish and was then 75% off. So I got a brand new leather jacket for £7ish.

Ive had some other bargains from there, but not as good.

Bargain hunters ???????????????,,,I gotta bargain,,,,,,,,,25 packets of nuts,just found em in the local pub

real exciting stuff then..

helen,,,,,O f course I'm "exciting",,,,,,,hot stuff I am !!!!!!,,,lol.....

-
and on the way back i thought ide treat myself to something i havent had for ages, i got a 4 pack of custards for £1.
-

-
in about an hour im hoping, the rain stopped off, im going to see a freind, helen in a town a few miles from me, buttershaw.
-
im leaving the next trip to the cyber or library till torrow, or even saturday. jimbob xx

We went to Llandudno yesterday. Talk about rain

We went via Horseshoe Pass and the clouds were so low, it was like driving in a really thick white fog. So spooky

hi helen
-
im hoping to get to london in the next few weeks, to see a few riends, before im no longer able to travel distances.
-
its 6 hrs but i will be hopefully breaking the journey at nottigham
-
they are sorting a b and b near them, money is no problem. ive had some luck as such, £250 weatherpayment, and £100 back from the lecy, so im payed up, and yesterday i won a total of £150+ on the scratches.
-
the only drawback at the moment, excuse the pun, is my back, with the cold weather, as been aching for a few days now.
-
i think this is right, yakida, probably wrong and spelt wrong lol. jimbob xx

Dont tell everyone what money you have or you might get mugged

Why do a stopover? Why not go straight through? Have you no online friends you could bunk up with?

hi helen
-
im only stopping over at nottingham, for half hour or so, to take a break in the journey.then get the next nat express as it comes through, i think there is also an half hour stop on the way to london.
-
i dont know anyone in london/middlesex area. except denise and tony, and they have a full house with 4 kids lol.
-
if i did have someone in the middlsex area, i would have paid them something, it will probably cost for three nights stay, in the £70 to £75,or £100, but ive the lecy rebate and the weather payment still in my second account. jimbob xx

I thought you meant a total night stopover.

hi helen
-
just a short stop to stretch my legs, probably have a cuppa and somethimg to eat.not sure till denise rings me, whats happening
-

We have got our usual Christmas plans being changed this year. Im not sure how many Im cooking for, not that it matters. I always cook too much

Things are happening and I just have to go along with it all as it involves so many others and their plans and no one is sure about anything yet

Maybe I might get an extra bag of sprouts

hi helen
-
my xmas day will probably the same as evry year.lol
-
get up at say 9am, i would have left the chichen or turkey leg out to defrost.
-
