What are you all up to today? - part 3

Lunch/dinner soup in the oven (Curried Lentil & Veg).
I'm now looking at my Christmas card list and working out how to trim it down to fit the few cards I have left from last year. Yes, I know I'm a Mean Scrooge.
Anyone I will be seeing is crossed off (why give a card saying "Happy Christmas" when I can do it in person?). And anyone I only send as a matter of duty is Off The List. Getting there!

Just up in Berwick doing my bit for Queen and country. Its cold up here. Just had a look around the club site here (well from the roads around it) An interesting site as I've never seen a club site right in the middle of a housing estate, it does have good views though.
.Great for train spotting.as well
.Yes, I saw that from one road - you could watch people putting up their awnings and watch the trains go by at the same time. Two hobbies for the price of one.

Really grey day here not inviting at all. Bit of frost overnight but gone early this morning. OH now writting out his xmas cards, finally. Not sure what I'm going to get up to today other than a bit of shopping its kind of too early to pack the bags, although
most things are ready and waiting. Just kind of hanging around filling time.0 -

One of our favourites too, nice 3 hr run down, arrive at 13.00 and still have time for a walk/cycle out, fish and chips on the way back for tea and then enjoy the views. What's not to like

It's been a quiet afternoon. No orders so far. I've been sitting in the relaxer in the awning with a cup of tea and I just wiped the condensation off the awning windows so that I can see out. It looks rather grey and murky though. No sun and a bit of mist in the distance. However, the village of Findon on the hill in the background is still visible from the awning front window.
There's no need to go shopping today as we did a big shop yesterday at the Tesco Extra in Durrington and bought a half price joint of beef for our next roast dinner. We also got some frozen Yorkshire Puddings, gravy granules and horseradish sauce to go with it plus some fresh as well as frozen vegetables.

It's been long day here, no hint of sunshine. OH has been all over Dorset searching for a car part (the first one didn't work.) Mission accomplished, family member looking less fraught.
Back to to Dorset tomorrow, meeting friends for lunch in Shaftesbury.
Hope all the winter holidays go well, bon voyage to the travellers!

Thanks to Brue and BB for the good wishes.
Just got back from shopping, decided to top up the freezer for our return, lots of lovely joints of meat at very good prices
all now in the
freezer. I prepared and froze lots of veg the other day, soup pot now on, when that's made I'll freeze some of that as well. Will only have to pick up fresh bread, milk and potatoes on our return. Christmas cards all done and in the post just the village ones
to deliver, present for Mum ready to wrap, I'm done.

Tammygirl when are you off? Where are you going? I may have missed that .
Grey day here, done a lot of nothing . Two parcels arrived today of things ordered online on Sunday, wow didn't pay extra for fast delivery! Very misty so tumble dried what washing I could took homemade shepherds pie from the freezer together with a packet
of home cooked and frozen roast veg, dinner without effort . Took ourselves out to stretch our legs, made a circular walk. As we passed a house I remarked to OH we hadn't seen the occupants for awhile, and lo they came out of the front door. So a quick catch
up, made us realise it felt cool, seemed worse than the cold and bright days. Thermometer says 6c so much warmer than last few days.0 -
To clarify an earlier point......the basic state pension might be £119 per week (can't remember the figures just now) but people get an amount based on their NI contributions......so can get more or less than this.
The minimum guarantee amount for someone of state pension age for a woman is £155.......so if you get less than this, it will be topped up by Pension Credit. However, any other income will be taken into account, so you may not get the full top up.
Incidently, if you do get Pension Credi (the Guarantee part, not the Savings part - which you can only get at 65) you will be eligible for full Housing Benefit and full Council Tax Reduction.
Don't you just love all tbes benefits rules?
I do wonder how people who haven't been trained in the benefits system are supposed to know
what they are entitled to.IanH it was a big learning curve when we had to start dealing with Mum's stuff, she was entitled to all sorts that we were not aware of. I'm pretty sure there must be lots of people out there in the same boat. The work CAB and yourself do is amazing long
may it continue.Thank you, Tammygirl that's very kind of you.
The bizarre thing is that the DWP now recommend claimants contact us......it appears that we know their systems better than they do!

Wow this booking day is a nusicance. Just wanted to check out sites and CLs recently reviewed. Really attractive page telling me 'we're getting ready for 2017'. Can't check out site or review. This goes to show the importance of the handbook and map. What's
the use if a website thgthgats out iuf action for hours for a routine task like booking or site surfing???For the life if me I cannot see the sense in not allowing bookings to be continuous without a cut off and frenzy day.

I absolutely agree Bakers.I would be very annoyed if I was still at work with young children faced with the probablity of having to take the day off work on booking day so that I could make sure that we got a site that we wanted in the school holidays.
As you say just make the booking continuous throughout the year.hence the siggestions in the past that the club move this antiquated ritual to a day (sat/sun) where more working folk would be able to take part on an equal footing with the clubs 'core demograpic'.
8 am on a week day morning is about as worker unfriendly as it could get....
still, if im bored tomorrow, i might get stuck into some serious honeypot bookings....i can always cancel them just before if we dont want to go....
Naughty BB!

Just got our first order today and had to drive through congested traffic along Warren Road on the approach to Grove Lodge Roundabout. We're now awaiting collection of a Macdonalds order on Liverpool Terrace.

We're in Broadwater KFC awaiting collection. It's a slow business doing KFC and Macdonalds orders because of the huge queues at this time of year. Town centre deliveries seem hardly worth doing because of difficulty parking, traffic wardens and the very low £3 delivery fee that barely covers the cost of the fuel used. Also in the darkness it's harder to see the traffic wardens until they tap on your window and ask you to move!

Just completed the kfc delivery. It's stop start all the way with the very heavy traffic congestion at this time of day.

Tammygirl when are you off? Where are you going? I may have missed that .

Well we've played on here all day! What will tomorrow bring? Shan't be partaking in frenzy day booking - craziest idea I know of . No one queues for sales anymore do they? Remember those that queued in Oxford Street years ago? They made the news .
No one these days has a cut off point for booking for anything and then a mad dash for what you'd like twelve months hence, oh yes they do CC .0 -

Are you going to Lanzarote again next year?
