Quite often a case of who you know , lucky you.lol

Tho you sound as if you could charm the birds off the trees:))

I worked in the cream room making all the fresh cream cakes .only worked there a couple of yrs .was slimmer then .didnt eat cakes as saw them every day .lol Night folks Take care Barbra x

lol Sandy.

When I was doing Port Health work in Grimsby I got to know the Hygiene people at Ross Foods. They arranged for an ID card to be issued to me so that I could use the Ross Shop which was only for employees. The savings were significant!

Allan

Son is only a ' seasonal worker ' in As*a, it was his job when he was in Uni, cos he travelled to Uni daily he could do late shifts ,and any times on his days off.
He has graduated now and is looking for a job in IT, no luck yet, but he still has this job ,of course he can do more shifts , often does 5am to 12, he gets all the anti social shifts that others don't like,4pm to 10 on Fridays and Saturdays.. but it's money to him :))
If and when he gets a full time job in his chosen career, he says he'll still stay on with As*a just for the 10%discount.lol .. We'll wait and see.

Allan~~~~ Hi...Sadly we only have a small freezer :(

It was 2 packs of Granary rolls ( 4 in a pack) and a pack of 4 Granary baguettes son brought home tonight.
Hubby's tucking into to one of the rolls as I type and plans for him and dau to take the other rolls to work tomorrow .
Blast, that just leaves the baguettes for son and I tomorrow.lol.. unless he scoffs them before !

I used to be a Tes*o shopper but now son and I have a discount card 10% on purchases I shop there, it is actually closer.. just a 20min walk,3 in the car.

Behave Mr Allan ..;0))

Hello Sandie

Hello Barbra and Sandie,

Barbra sorry to read about your fall. Does that mean that you are now a fallen woman? :0))

Seriously, though, falls can be nasty particularly if you have hit your head on something.

Sandie, that's one way of stocking up for Christmas and there is no hanging about at overcrowded check-outs.

Allan

Hi folks~~

Barbra ,sorry about your fall, hope you're OK .

Hope it wasn't our previous chat about home made brewing of wines and beer that 'went to your head' and made you fall.lol

Son's just home from work, As*a, must go and see what last minute goodies he's brought home. They reduce perishables to a silly price at 9.30 and if not sold the staff can had them for pennies or they get thrown out.
Back in a bit. x

Hello Ethics .anybody about ??? Barbra
I have had a fall in the bedroom & banged my head on the cupboard door / stupid woman . dont drink so thats no excuse . i am alright . ;0)) Barbra x

Night & G,Day xx

Barbra, very informal affair except for the mayor who was wearing a suit and his chain of office...he looked a bit flushed.

Yep OH drove home :0))

Sandie, when we lived in the UK I always brewed my own beer and made my own wine.

I've continued the beer brewing over here but just recently started with kits rather thab mixing all the ingredients myself.

I recently did do a couple of wines, a parsley and a rose petal. I'm not sure whether the Parsley is going to be ok as the fermentation went haywire. The rose petal is looking OK and I have made this before in the UK

Allan

Hello Sandie
snows gone . should be going on the 18th for 4days looking forward to seeing family . Thanks Barbra xx
Allan Did you have best suit on .. or was it informal dress with your warm climate . [ halter neck ] ;0)) bet your oh was driving bless her .

Do you make your own wine Allan..?

We used to, BC ( before children), I'm not a red wine lover but our plum, damson and elderberry were excellent, tho I say it myself.
Hubby used to do most of those, I only did the preparation.
Mayflower was a beautiful one, took ages to pick,ages to prepare but was worth the wait.lol
Tea wine was a cracker, so easy to make, my neighbour was drinking it with us one night ..we thought he'd gone home, but found him next morning behind the settee , worse for wear but OK.lol
Oh for the old days .! lol

Hello Barbra and Sandie,

Computer is fine now but still having problems with the printer. It prints but won't scan. I have tried downloading a driver for it but it still won't open.

I suppose that a new printer/scanner will now have to be purchased. The current one is only four years old.

Barbra, I'm fine thanks. Went to the Mayor's Garden Party yesterday as a representative of an organisation that I'm a member of.

Plenty of free red wine Sandy!

I'm glad that the snow is clearing for you at last. Just the opposite her. Yesterday was pleasnt at 27c with a nice breeze in the afternoon for the Mayor's do, but 31c forecast for us today.

Still no rain in sight for us!

I just hope that Christmas is relatively cool


Allan

Red wine drinker then eh, Allan :)
I prefer the white, just opened a bottle of white for me and red for hubby..Mmm

Glad puter is better for Xmas:)..what would we do without them ..?

Most of the snow has gone here, thankfully, just the pileups peeps shovelled to clear their driveways, and what hasn't caught any sunshine we have had...our back garden, for one cos of next door's Leylandi trees..much too high and wide, they shade our garden dreadfully.:((

Has the snow cleared with you Barbra, to enable to visit your family.? I hope so:)

Sandie.x.... ~~~~~~to Colin and Tony, hi guys:)
