Marianne Faithfull Dies - Rest...
Music2 mins ago
Well I'm still in hotel after yesterdays all-day conference, followed by the evenings Gala dinner & awards ceremony. Was a long day, but made better by the utter shock of hearing my name called out for an award last night! Everyone on my table started cheering & I was like 'are you sure they mean me??' lol. Anyway, after making my way onto stage I found out I'd come 2nd place in the whole of the company for most increased retail sales in 2024, so I was thrilled! : )
Back to reality & this morning is freezing cold here - ice on cars & looks really nippy, but shud be fine driving home. Don't mind driving at all as long as it's not in torrential rain, then not quite so easy to see things.
Will prob nip down for some breakfast in an hour or so and see how many from lastnight are nursing hangovers - judging from the amount of alcohol being necked it could be quite a few!! ; ). Anyway, hope that you all have a great day everyone, whatever you end getting up to x

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Good Morning Smow, and congratulations on your achievement and award. Enjoy a good breakfast to fuel you for the journey home, take care, there may be icy patches (or will you be on major roads which will have been well salted presumably - that can mess up windscreens so make sure your washer reservoir is filled up before you leave). As for me, no established plans for today although I'm contemplating a trip to DIY store to do some decorating if I can summon up any enthusiasm.
Congratulations Smow. I am so glad you are alright after the driving.
Sorry I have not been about the last few days but my sleep pattern has gone all over the place, and not waking up after disturbed nights, until about 10.30am. I look in everyday but it seems pointless leaving a message about 12noon on a site for early birds!!!
Raining here the midlands, but at least it appears to be warmer. Ironing day and changing the bed, which looks as if a hurricane has passed over it. With regards to bed, I was so fed up of having cold feet I succumbed and bought some bedsocks ( which I always considered for old people). It is the best decision I have made in a long while. I now consider myself officially "old". But at 72 I can live with that.
Hope everyone has a good day.
A rather late Good Morning from me...and a big congratulations to you Smow. Be proud of your achievement 👏
We've had very high winds again...it was predicted as 70mph for mid morning. Oh, and the rain! Hammering down. I just want some calm, sunny weather. It's a laundry day for me, plus a bit of pottering in the kitchen.
Calda...get yourself an electric blanket...the kind that goes under the mattress topper. You'll be toasty warm all over.
