Morning Belle and Von :-D <3 <3

Grey again, but not cold. Just back from Wrose. It was empty, and not a lot of traffic on the roads either. Has something happened I dont know about? :-S

I think I said earlier this week England were playing tonight. I dont know where I got that from. Maybe I was looking at next week. :-0

Need to lie down in a darkened room I think.

Have a good day Everyone <3 <3

Afternoon Belle, Von, Maddie and Fly. :-D <3 :-D <3 :-D <3

Been singing this morning - always good.

Bleddy Beko integrated washier dryer not working properly and I have only had it a month! I wouldn't care but it had a good write-up which is why I chose it.

I have hung the few clothes that I had to wash out on the line wet - grrrrr!

The first couple of washes were fine but for some reason it has now taken the hump and the 1400 spin seems to have gone kaput as has the 1200 -although it is telling me it is 1200 spinning but it does not look like it to me when I look at the drum and certainly not when the cycle is over.

Can't seem to email Beko but there is an 03 tel number that I may have to try.

Windy here but sunny.

To all :-D <3

Afternoon everyone :-) <3

It's so cold :-0 :-|

The sun is finally making an appearance, but too late to be warming.

Joy, that's no time at all :-0

Is it because there is an uneven load perhaps?
My machine doesn't like washing just a couple of items. It sometimes doesn't then spin at the end of the cycle, but will do so if just set to spin, afterwards.

You'll have to get the old washboard out again.... or did that go to a skiffle group ;-)

Evening everyone :-) <3 :-) <3 :-) <3

I've been on my travels today. Son had to go to pick something up from Holmfirth in Yorkshire today so I went along for the ride :-D

The weather was warm and sunny for most of the day but with a couple of really heavy showers. Went to a lovely car themed cafe (The Carding Shed) just outside Holmforth which was a lovely place to spend a few hours. Meals and cakes were amazing, the whole place decorated with cars, bits of cars, bikes, car signs, old stuff from garages etc. etc. They also have a showroom with a collection of clasic cars to look round. The place used to be an old mill (hence the name). I really enjoyed it although not so much the motorway journey. It's the furthest I've travelled in many a year.

Joy - I could lend you an old poss stick ;-)
