Hi Penny and all, saved you some Bailys Penny hope you enjoyed it Just wondered where you have bought your new microwave from, I bought a new Panasonic Converter from Curry's the other week, it was faulty and so took it back, did get our money returned but we were still out of pocket by £10 for doing so and we had purchased a new washer too at the same time. Bit of a sore point, will think very carefully before using them again??? Hope you are enjoying your drawing class today Maggieh. Dolly says she is popping round to see you later Penny and sends a big Hug from us both, and take care all xxx

Hi, all. It's been a brilliant, sunny day here, too. Quite warm in the sunshine but the sun's so low in the sky it blinds you every time you change direction and walk towards it. I was out this morning, getting my hair cut and buying some bits at the deli and it felt good to be out and about, even fighting my way through the hordes of Xmas shoppers. What do they all buy??

It's a long time since I bought anything big from Currys; last thing I tried to buy was a tumble dryer some years ago. They said they could only deliver to my area on a Wednesday, which was my really busy day at work at the time. They were adamant they couldn't deliver any other time - we lived less than 5 miles from the store, in a road that was in the London A-Z. We weren't halfway up a Welsh mountain that needed a tracked vehicle to access it. In the end I told them where to shove their dryer and got one from the Co-op. I did get a big stockpot from Currys online last year. That was the best price I'd seen for the one I wanted and was delivered, free of charge, the following morning.

The sun's going down now: lovely golden sky outside my windows.

Hi Dita and all, just had the Physio and she was very pleased with my progress. Said she could not believe the change from a couple of weeks ago and finally discharged me. Just got the District nurse to visit now just to keep an eye on ankle swelling. Lovely and sunny start here but so cold, unbelievable. Hope my micro proves O>K> Dita, bought a Panasonic from Curry. Which model do you have, fingers crossed. Sounds like a good day for you Andere, hope you got enough food for puss to cover Xmas. Enjoyed the Baileys Dita, strange, picking up one of my books,out pops my recipe for home made Baileys, so once I am out and about might start to make it again. Take are all and keep warm. cheers Penny.

Oh! Heck Penny I have just checked what I had written about the Microwave---It was a Panasonic Inverter Slim line Combination, I actually wrote Converter ......instead of Inverter on my previous post hee hee Sorry. Since sending the new microwave back I have gone back to using the old one because it was working fine, thought I would replace it before they went up in price. It had originally been at Lewis's and brought to Curry's previously before being bought by us, this was on the receipt, we returned it to the shop and we were charged a tenner to send it back despite of it been faulty, Currys told us small items always have to be fetched or returned, they only deliver large ones and even though we had the washing machine delivered they wouldn't deliver the microwave with the washer too.
I also have the recipes for Baily's which you sent me Penny and I have been looking at them today

That's really good news, Penny; you've obviously made fantastic progress so well done you and don't let OH take advantage by behaving as if you're a new model and he's suddenly incapacitated!

The cat food, by the way, is on order from Waitrose Pet and a big bag should arrive tomorrow so everything's under control and Madame won't starve.

[Penny]

Micro just arrived, spot on time. cheers Penny

[dita]

Hi Penny and all, hope your microwave is ok and just the job, what make is it Penny? I have been watching show-jumping this afternoon and found it enjoyable. Did anyone watch Abba last night on Ch5, it was a documentary and quite enlightening about them. Trying to take it easy a bit but not having much luck its too near Christmas. Hugs from Dolly and me Penny, and take care all xxx

[Penny]

HI Dita, I think this micro is the same one you ordered. not the one I wanted but you know who ordered it. not my cup of tea. took OH ages to get it set up, thought we might have to return it like you, but eventually worked it out. It is smaller than my original but Iwill let you know when I use it. I hate change. do get some rest Dita, don't want you taking my place in bed.big hug for Dolly andsoft ones for pussies. Take care all. cheers Penny

Hi, all. Sounds like you're as good with kitchen technology as I am, Penny! Good luck with the microwave...

A very quiet day here. OH been to the leg clinic; I've made a vast pot of braised red cabbage while waiting in for a parcel to be delivered with LK's food supplies. I started out as no 108 on the list of drops to be done but 10 mins ago I was down to no. 16 so not long to wait now! I love those parcel-tracking services. OH says little things please little minds ... Probably true!

Have a good evening everyone.
