Morning everyone!
Busy day yesterday ,putting up decorations at my dad's and giving his house a blitz clean....so he is full of sparkle now

Spruced him up as well with a new haircut....so he's ready and waiting for Christmas

Older sister hep!ed with it all as well so that was good.....but I've just heard that she fell down the stairs last night and is in pain. Luckily her daughter was there so she was not alone. Will check on her later as hubs is doing a job for her and I am cutting her hair.....if she is up to it Finger's crossed!

We have older son and girlfriend down tonight for a long weekend....looking forward to that

Gosh @Logan !!!.....you certainly love mince pies....they do look very yummy I must say Sadly I'm like @alp and find them too sweet, although I tried many recipes....it then comes down to trying to please everyone's differing taste buds!
Have a Terrific Thursday everyone...and keep safe in this storm/gale that's about to land on us

I have finally made a Responsive web page design for a mobile phone.. My gawd.. I'm so stupid -- took me years to finally crack this.. This man said a space could ruin your day. You literally checked and checked until all the words blurred into one big heaving mass and you were none the wiser - all because you removed the space between and ( or forget to close this bad boy}. Not to mention I have the wonderful knack of spelling narbar instead of navbar! I literally passed out after a day's sitting on the laptop and the bum was flat sore.

@Upsy Daisy Hope your sis gets over the shock. You must tell her NO MORE FALL as it can really impact the quality of her life. I am dreading that myself. You can ask Logan for proof! Thank heavens she is OK now! Is that right, Logan?!

Zenji Newcastle is far better than Scotland .. Just think about the bridges and the river.. and the wind and snow are just like Colin's Blackie and Gale .. and Scotland has Floncy as well.

Wonder if there is a better for snow in Scotland, another term of endearment ..

 

[Logan]

Yes @Upsy Daisy I'm glad that she's ok.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Gosh you are clever @alp to master such techie stuff ...I have absolutely no idea now to do anything on the computer, only switch in on..... can't even do links

Oh sadly I too know all about falls,. I have had 3 in the past 4 yrs...the second one 2 years ago I managed to crack a couple of ribs and the one 18 mths ago I think was the start of my current shoulder problem as I know I fell deliberately onto my side trying to be clever ( or so I thought) in protecting my poor old ribs . Yes a fall definitely has an impact on your lifestyle afterwards

 

[alp]

@Upsy Daisy Certainly NOT clever. Could have learned this years ago. Too stupid for words.

3 in 4 years. Oh, dear! Be careful and make sure shoe soles has grips.. Now whenever we buy shoes, we look at the grip. It's so important.

I have another letter for the airbag recall for my Nissan. I am so annoyed, as always! We had booked an important in February and my son had to drive the car back from Kent to our local dealer just for the appointment. That same morning, some operative called asking if we wanted to sell our car. No, we didn't. An hour later, some other bloke called, saying that we didn't need to take the car there as there WAS NO PARTS. No point for us to go. I am going to make a formal complaint as this letter actually had a graphic showing the metals which could fly everywhere inside the car!

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Oh my word ..sounds lethal ! @alp. It definitely needs to be sorted......and the sooner the better

 

[Upsy Daisy]

P S......I think you are clever..... if you think you're stupid then I'd dread to think what you would think I am

 

[Logan]

Yes i agree with @Upsy Daisy the sooner the better.

See the photo from the Nissan Recall letter - (sorry for the light, but you can see how horrible and damaging this can be!)

Made a mistake. The attached photos can be seen in full image here!

@alp that's very worrying. You should go to your dealer and stand outside,if anybody comes to look at the cars,start shouting that the Nissan cars are rubbish and don't buy them. Tell them what happens to the air bag.

If I were that courageous, I wouldn't be breathing this foul air in silence. I have emailed the CEO..

I didn't know it was so serious. But when you see the arrowS, showing the possible trajectories the debris can fly, it is no laughing matter.

Morning all

 

[alp]

Good morning, 3c.. As usual, dark. The snow is reportedly heading to London, all the way from Scotland.

 

[Logan]

Just had about an inch of snow.

That's from the window.

 

[alp]

We don't even have frost here! Last night I was hot!
