Hello to all my friends in this new year

i shall look forward to that!! cant believe so many things are going wrong!
best advise ive seen today is ~ go out and buy a bunch of daffodils!!!

Nice to hear from you again - hope all gets sorted for you - it is cold here - but dry and the days are around 15 mins longer a week - so getting better

Hope you get it all sorted soon WL, and return to normality, and the SPRING.

Oh no! Light sprinkling of snow! Don't think we've seen the last of it!! xx

Happy 2011 to you and yours, Whistonlass...
hoping you can sort out all the electric gremlins :o((( ! xxx

we had a little bit of sun through the clouds today! electric gremlins TT ~ they would be scarily sparky!

Sorry to hear of the electrical problems ... looking forward to seeing your new patio ... Spring on the way for you to start planting! : o )

All those things going wrong, and you still sound cheerful! Look forward to seeing your patio pics, and yes, roll on Spring. :)

Oh dear Whiston that is a case of mega gremlins,hope you get things sorted asap. Brynner knocked my laptop flying in Nov so I bought a new one, one week later hubby realised he payed insurance for the old one, he contacted PC World and they fetched it and fixed it for me, no charge, only took two weeks..Pays to check insurance...
Looking forward to seeing your patio and yes !!! yearning for springtime......

Happy new year :o)
I hope all your problem appliances are sorted soon. It must have been very annoying. Why do things always break down at the worst possible time
:o( lol

happy newyear jacquie and hope all gets fixed soon, look forward to seeing your new patio pics :o)) x

Really looking forward to seeing your patio, that will be exciting WL. We have just replaced our washing machine too and the dishwasher is making strange sounds, oooh heck, its all pay out! Take care now.

So glad the patio is finished Jacquie!! hope you get all your appliances sorted soon! X

Happy New Year W.Lass, pleased to hear your patio is finished and looking forward to seeing some pictures, do hope you get your laptop sorted out soon, its so frustrating when it packs up. I got up with the intention of doing some tidying in the garden this mornig but Hey its covered in snow again, what a Nightmare!!

Looks like you may ahve to go back to basics, wash dishes in the sink with some fairy liquid, cook food over an open fire without the microwave overn or hob.

You could try hibernating.

I did actually think about hibernating, Alex! lol We've got an engineer coming on Friday to look at the dishwasher, been on to Dell and they've suggested removing Firefox and reinstalling it to see if that helps with the speed problems. I've done that and it does seem to have improved things considerably. Ever the pessimist...will it be the answer? Sure hope so!

We had a skiff of snow overnight but it's nowhere to be seen now. :) Yeah!

Hope to get pictures dowloaded so I can share our new patio with you all :) Thanks so much for all your positive good wishes everyone.

Happy New Year from me too, lets see these pics then......all the best for 2011.

Happy New Year, how are you getting on getting rid of the dreaded brambles?

The brambles are history (I say that guardedly...we'll see if any rear their heads in the spring but I am hopeful they have been uprooted finally!); thanks for asking Nana.

The Christmas tree is coming down today (1 day earlier than tradition dictates but it just "feels" like it's time!).

And I'm off outside to see if I can get a couple of photos of the new paved patio....DD you'll be pleased to hear..lol.

It's glorious sun here today and it makes me hopeful for spring and all the excitement of planting up :)

Happy New year to you....hope you get everything sorted soon....

Happy New Year, looking forward to seeing that new patio of yours.
Best wishes
Linda

Honestly....I am jinxed! Now I am having real problems again with this computer! Very slow again...ugh! And it seems to behave worse on GoY :( I also am waiting advice from my son-in-law (he's the family help with all things techi...) to find out way my Picasa will not load my photos from my camera!

I'll be back...I've got the photos on my camera...just need to get them onto my puter and then I can publish a new blog. Apologies....it can only get better!

Thanks for your encouraging comments all :) x
