      I admit I do love Judy. I don't want to see Caroline in the bottom two again though so won't be voting for Judy again .. probably :D Let Kate go now Steve!! No wonder there's no news on the DVD release!

      It's certainly an odd phenomenon! I bought The Gallery of Vanished Husbands by Natasha Solomons and Pies and Prejudice by Stuart Maconie. :)

      I am trying to channel you Janet .. but nope .. I still feel wibbly about it. I need to get myself a Christmas jumper .. that'd sort me out :D

  14. good luck to my daughter and everyone else getting their GCSE results today. Pity the media have to scaremonger hours before some of them are allowed to collect them - my daughter is a nervous wreck.

  16. Snow day today for my kids (one from work, one from school!)

    1. chaliepud

      chaliepud

      No snow here yet so older two have gone on the bus to school, just hope they let them out early as the bus has to negotiate a steep dangerous road and has failed before meaning the kids have to walk across the country park to get home!!

      I've asked the Angels to keep an eye on them, Chalie. Think positive, and you'll help them.

      They were fine, we've spent an exhausting 2 hrs sledging, now home for bangers and mash!

  17. I hope everyone (and especially our Kylie) in NSW is safe.

      Sorry, Devi - I didn't realise you were there too. Glad you're okay as well. :)

      the post has slowed right down Janet it is just the time of year. Some amazon parcels I was waiting for were a week late.

      I do feel sorry for the Ukrainian team.

      Tbh, I felt kind of sorry for the Japanese guy in the first place - he was trying to do his routine when all the cheering was going on - must've been very distracting.
