Morning DET. Yg has a full sized Boa there so I hope he did not get to snuggled up to her LOL.

They worked hard all night, once I had got all the soot off them!! I need to keep them for a while LG, but will return them in good condition >>>>>>
I think!!

DET, I have a 'min' carbon monoxide detector just in case, although I would like to get the proper kit when funds allow. A colleague that I worked with at my previous job lost her husband to carbon monoxide poisoning and she only escaped by the skin of her teeth. They had just come back off holiday abroad during a very cold February and fell asleep in the lounge. It was only her dad, who was concerned that they weren't answering the phone, that raised the alarm, but it was too late to save her husband.

Morning LG. Just hoping that Cuddles(?) didn't decide he needed a snack during the night.
Kitty RIP - lol

Hope you have recovered from your fall. Do the family need sunglasses to inspect your multicoloured bruises??????

LOl DET. Bruises are very pretty but my pride is more hurt than me. How are you and yours?

Oooo nearly missed you ther YG LOL. Bit dozy this morning. NO COMMENTS !!!! I have a detector combined with smoke detector that speaks . The smoke alarm'lady' has a very boring voice LOL

Hi LG - fine, although OH is still bored ridged, with not wanting to go in the garage. He dresses up like Michelin Man before he puts a step outdorrs. Woose! Had to supervise him yesterday while he made some bread...a bit like find things for children to do - lol

morning all ,it is thawing slightly here and i have turned the heating down , good sign but not for long I fear there is more due ,church is cancelled and I have cancelled the youth just in case this week so i can just start again next week weather permitting ,
son is going to try moving his car its due MOT this week , so i am hopeful we will be at work in the morning

The offspring used to come running indoors when the smoke alarm went off....it meant dinner was ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Maz - they reckon the weather will warm up from Wednesday - fingers crossed.

Morning LG amd Maz!! You sneaked in while I wasn't looking!!

My smoke alarm is connected to central control so I have to make sure I don't make 'burnt offerings' too often!!

We seem to have a very slow thaw here too Maz. More snow showers, then sleet, but temperatures staying at just above freezing, with 4 degs on Wednesday!! Time to get out the swimming cossies!!

Byeeeee folks!! I'm packing my case and off to Oz for a few weeks. They are on red alert for fires so I'm off to help Aunty dish out the coffee and biscuits!!

Air/sea rescue is too quiet!

lol YG i will get some more knicker elastic for the catapult lol 4 degrees sounds luxurious ,I wish they would make their minds up though with the forcast ,well i might get into work then monday ,

just looked on the met office its supposed to be bad again tonite for us according to them so what will be will be no doubt

Our predicted temps are to be hovering just above freezing - but that's down by the Thames and we are at a higher altitude. At least our main road is on the County gritting route and fairly easy to get to. So with a bit of luck, I shan't have to walk to school tomorrow. OH says he will knock up a sledge if I like - lol

I have our german sledge in the shed just remembered used to tug the kids all over on the thing and the shopping

It must be a little bit warmer here because the icicles are melting and we haven't had a snow storm today, well, not yet anyway.

I've just had a text from Sweetpea, says he'll be home soon. Who let him out?

I just knew he could do it!!!! Good 'un Sweet Pea!! Have you let all the CPs out of the jail??

Hi Pauline, it has been thawing here all day. Still lots of snow around, but the paths are starting to clear and I can see the tops of the plants again!! It is raining now, so I hope it doesn't freeze overnight.

hi there yes it looks as if we have a break but if it freezes then we are in bother though it must be sweet pea changing the thermostat

Although it has been snowing, its been thawing at the same time. All the snow slid off the bonnet of my car (which hasn't been moved since Christmas) with a plop. Hurray!

As you've said, hope it doesn't freeze over night.
