Ooh mind your spurtle! They’re nice things. Unlike frozen gate latches. Just pour a kettle of hot water over it? Mind you it would be better if it just didn’t freeze up again. Fingers crossed for a thaw soon.
I don’t really know enough about politics to indulge in a worthwhile discussion - but I do know what I don’t like, so I just read and move on. Take a spurtle to the lot of them I would, haha!
There’s some horrible rows in there, especially to us Scots. Just wait until Indy ref2 gets going.

Ladies…I use my spurtle every morning…love porridge
I will Mags, thanks. BTW, I don’t envy you that wee job.
I hate porridge, I think it’s because my mother made awful stuff when I was wee, and I was made to eat it…shudder.
I make porridge for Mr P every morning. Adding lots of berries and banana makes it tasty, otherwise its just nasty stuff like gruel. boke
It’s supposed to be very healthy but it does indeed make me boke (great to see I’m not the only one to use that word!)
Good morning ladies. Yes Roxy it is great to see many new people posting with us. I just hope that May is ok. I make porridge but its in the microwave. Raining here this morning and feels a lot warmer thank goodness. Housework and then see what is on television later.
Morning, Feeling a bit under the weather today. Had a bad night with very little sleep, have staggered round the woods with the dog and now I’m heading back to bed for a while.
catch ya’s later.
Roxy ,hope you’re feeling better after a wee rest, I got my jab yesterday, felt a bit tired a couple of hours after, but this morning I woke up dizzy, nauseous
and freezing cold, feeling a bit fluey now…so it’s a lazy day for me…
Happy Valentines day girls…( I didny get any)…
Aww Roxy, yes, go and finish napping. There are other little bugs and stuff going round, mind you not just that one. Hoping its not anything more than needing a good sleep though. See you later 
Uber stressful morning unexpectedly. Tried to log in to my bank account but it wouldn’t let me no matter what I tried. I had to get some money to my son in an emergency. No choice but to get in car and deliver it to him. Trouble is I’m a scared driver, car hadn’t started for several weeks as under snow. No choice though. Guess what, car started on the turn, roads well cleared, I got the traffic lights almost every time on arrival at them, got the money to son and drove home feeling like I’d accomplished something.
After a nice shower I checked my PC again as I’d become terrified my account had been compromised. Naturally, logged in immediately. No problem. argh!
Still. it was good for my soul, the car had a run which the battery needed and I probably burnt off calories due to stress.
Aaaaaand relax!
Jane these things are sent to try us , you were meant to take that journey
Roxy hope the wee nap did you good. Paula I think that’s one of the sympton’s of the jag. Pixie I love a wee nap even its just closing my eyes for ten minutes. Jane I hated driving at night or in the snow. I don’t do online banking either my money goes in the bills are paid that’s all I’m worried about. Still raining here and its taken all the snow away.
Just plain having to drive was good for me. It really boosted my confidence. Its not easy to get to a bank as they’re all closed round here. Online banking has always been ideal for me. It was because I check my account on line very regularly I noticed charges that I hadn’t made. I phoned the fraud line at once and discovered that my card had been cloned at an ATM. The old card was cancelled, a new one issued and all the money taken was refunded. If I’d waited for a monthly statement I would have been cleaned out!
After that I only ever used an ATM actually inside a bank!
Yes I had a sleep and am a bit more with it. Really down though I’m upset as hell that our May won’t be back. 
I hope I don’t get any weird side effects when I get my jag on Tuesday, I have enough problems with this Sciatica pain.
Jane, I stopped using ATMs a long while back. I always get £50 cash back from Tesco checkouts when I get my messages, it doesn’t matter if I need it or not, I get it and keep it at home.
I don’t use ATM either…our banks have closed the nearest one is 15 miles away so like you Roxy I get cashback when I shop at Tesco or asda
A lot safer that way IMO. It’s raining like mad here and washing away a lot of the snow. Will be so glad to see the back of it.
