Yawn ... wakey, wakey ...

Have a great holiday shiney:yho:

I'm sick of this wet weather I can tell you! I've had family and friends on the phone asking if we are safe and dry because of the heavy downpour. Mrs Pal left for Cheltenham but just called to say the roads are bad and she's heading back.
We were going to put up the decorations last evening but didn't bother in case we're flooded out for Xmas.....Might just be another cancelled one again!
:flag:

 

All safely gathered in:gnthb:...There were several road accidents ,one very serious one in particular which made her mind up to turn back.
The rain is down to a drizzle,let's hope it stops soon!
I see what you mean about the frozen ground...the water is lying on my garden where it would have soaked in by now.
Roll on the next drought:D

 

Good morning everyone,we have thick fog today which makes a change from strong winds and heavy rain.My back lawn is like a quagmire so I have to be careful when I go down to the shed to feed the Guneia Pigs.

Shiney hopefully by now you will be whinging your way to your holiday destination so won't see this message:hehe:

Pal sorry to hear about down your wayglad though to hear that Mrs Pal got back safely.I have just been watching it on the news about Down in Devon and there have been a couple of elderly people that have lost their lives becuase of flooding.

Well I hope that everyone has a good day and all stays well for you all

 

Morning Marley,hope you had a lovely day yesterday waxing your roses and putting up your tree.You sound talented like my eldest sister.She makes all her own Christmas and Birthday cards plus Easter and used to make all the clothes for her to daughters so saved a fortune with it all.Did you take any piccys of the waxed roses when you had finished them,they would have been nice to see:gnthb:

Talking of flooding we went past the gravel pits where I used to live and looking down to the river a lot of the fields were flooded.I can well remember when the town I was brought up in was flooded and a lot of the residents hadn't got insurance I can't belive just how much rain we have had of late:flag:

Hope you have a good day in all that you do

 

Morning everyone, hope everything is going well with your Chrstmas preps. Certainly not Mr 02's year this year. Last Thursday he fell off a ladder, trying to be helpful while I was at work, putting up my curtains in the livingroom. (Of which I hadn't even ironed yet!!) :( After a 4 and half hour wait at A&E it was found he has chipped a bone in his wrist so is now in a splint for the next 6-8weeks.:dh: He was very lucky in the fact that he fell on our glass coffee table which didnt break. I believe in counting your blessings, it could have been a whole lot worse. So now I have no chauffeur as he cant drive and I dont. So Ive decided its driving lessons for me next year. Bit late in life to start, but as they say, better late than never. Hope you all have a good day.:thumb: 02

 

sorry to read Mr.O2 has been in the wars. He was very very lucky, it could have been much worse if the glass had broken on the coffee table.

Hopefully Shiney has made it to his destination by now.

I have not even ventured out into the garden to see how it is faring, I'm afraid I'll just be squelching in water and mud if I was to go to the bottom of the garden. the bird feeders need filling up so I'm going to ahve to brave it soon.

We has a most enjoyabel Christmas party at Coseners' House Hotel in Abingdon. Very nice indeed and would be happy to go back there next year. lovely room facing the Thames and I can assure you, there was plenty of water in that river and it was moving rather rapidly too.

I have still not got the Christmas decorations up but I think I might be getting the Christmas feeling xmastreeand will get Wazzakins to get the decoration out of the loft this evening.

 

Morning everyone,02 sorry to hear of your other halfs accident,he was very very lucky he didn't do himself a nasty injury Definetley learn to drive so you won't have to rely on your hubby all the time.Hope he starts to feel better soon:thumb:

Marley I guessed right on Pals thread about who made the wreath.It could only be you as you are such a talented lady:gnthb: I had a nice couple of roses in bud and flower in the front garden but after the frosts of last week they have gone brown now so don't look as good.:p Hope the chrismassy stuff went ok:thmb:

Shobhna,glad that the Christmas party went off ok and that you all got home safely.I know what you mean about trying to fill up the bird feeders etc when the ground is slippery.I managed to slip over twice trying to get over to feed the guneia pigs in bad weather:(

Anyway hope everyone reading this has a good day

 

Morning Kandy and All. Getting to the shops nice and early this morning to hopefully avoid the crowds.:skp: Ive spent a small fortune on close family member Christmas cards and put them somewhere safe. Can I find them, can I heck!! :dh:Hope you all have a pleasant day. 02
