J9withdogs Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I put my heating on yesterday. I don't mind being cold and I don't mind being wet, but I HATE being cold AND wet!! Cancelled my weekend away at Cheltenham as the forecast is for more rain - much more and I can't see the point being holed up with two wet dogs. :-( But I have been shopping today and spent the money I saved by not going away on shoes (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm booked to go to Anglesey at the end of the month, do you think the Indian Summer will have materialised by then? Perhaps I should go south instead.

We had better take a pair of skis with us tomorrow when we head for Southdowns in Portsmouth just in case it decides to head towards us. We think we will move into the van for the winter, it will be cheaper than running the heating in the house. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howie Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Sad state of affairs when we hesitate to put the heating on due to the prohibative cost when the temperature drops, and rather than be cold and misirable we are looking to other things we can cut back on to help pay those utility bills. Fair to say that those of us who own motorhomes/caravans can hardly be classed as 'impoverished', but we will have all had to tighten our belts one way or the other to combat rising costs and our Sky package is now under review with the near £500 a year going a long way to keeping warm this coming winter. Makes you realise how easy it is to slip into a recession, with household, clothing and other non essential items now being put on hold, and I fear this downward spiral is only a foretaste of things to come Merry Christmas.

ohgrandma Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I agree Howie, It is a sad state of affairs, Paid nearly £ 500 for 900 litres of oil. for the last delivery. I hate to think how much it will cost this time, You really have cheered me up, Howie, with your forecast of worse to come, I keep telling myself it is going to be a lovely October and a mild winter to follow. Trying to be positive. about all the doom and gloom, there is always someone worse off than me, So I count my blessings. I wish you a very Happy Christmas, Howie. and may your little stocking be be full of goodies. He He, Ria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My little stockings always full of goodies Ria, but this neither is the time and place to discuss such matters. Looking back i,ve never seen you start a thread of your own. I get the impression that you are a rather shy lady so here's your chance to give it a go. Any subject that comes into your head and we all promise to contribute with our replies. Go on, lets see that little bit of devil you keep so well hidden. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohgrandma Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hi Howie, I only come out of my shell occasionally. and I really am very shy I put an Agony Aunt thread on sometime back, but had to ask for help, it all got too much for me.as some of the questions the men were firing at me were out of my range , if you get what I mean, Also, What are you giving up for Lent, and that didn't go down too well . no one wanted to give anything up, We Glam Gran's can always have a natter on there, though, and of course the men are welcome , if they behave themselves. How about you Howie, perhaps you can think of a good one. Like. What did you dream of last night? or something similar, Ria. (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Sorry for leaving you in the lurch there Ria but a series of powercuts left me incommunicably knackered. Now where were we. Ah yes, you were trying to wriggle out of starting a thread of your own. All you need is something topical, interesting and non controversial such as 'breast feeding in public' which has being doing the rounds lately. Over to you, and no more feeble excuses this time.

mco Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Just jesting about the snow Carol but have a pic of the snow last year if thats any good. Agree Howie that we can't claim to be poor and destitute if we have MH's plus the fact we have 10 bird feeders just outside our kitchen window.
