I also send a mix of paper and e-cards as suits the person I am in touch with and none of my friends have so far been rude enough to refuse a message sent with love and chosen with care and the money saved in buying cards and stamps this year has bought school supplies for a year for three children ...

We have been working at craft fairs for about 14 years and we are finding that more of them should be called cr*p fairs now,we design and make silver jewellery as Dennis is a self trained silversmith and it is so sad to see people taking the time to come and being faced with rows of stalls of import...

We had our first snow today but it melted as it fell.............just as well as our birds are into their second 20 kilo bag of seed and I was thinking of asking them to bring their family allowance books with them.

No snow here but it is very,very ,very cold and sunny.

We always soaked the hough overnight and then boiled it in fresh water to take out the salt.

OJ we take 6 cans of coal dust add 2 cans of sawdust and 1/4 can of cement mix with water till just moist and using an old marg tub turn out to dry...........you multiply this to suit the amounts you have,they burn slowly but hot and are a good way to use up cement that has got a bit iffy and coal c...

Who's mums clever girl then.

I have no objections to change but can see a world of difference between seeing tubines on a hilltop and having a load a few hundred yard from my front door. There is an application for twenty a few miles from me and the landowner seems to live hundreds of miles away and most of those being put up l...

I have no objections to wind turbines as such and agree that they are needed and I don't mind them a mile or so from any house but around here they seem to be putting them too near other peoples houses while the people who are makeing the money from them seem to live nowhere near them. I think that ...

Sorry to tell you this but when I spoke to the planning dept a few months ago I was told that each application is judged on it's merits and that there is no set distance and to go by the amount going up here we will soon be taking off into the wide blue yonder when the wind is high. Farmers and land...

Get someone who loves you to mount a flatscreen on your ceiling but no watching funny programes you may laugh too much..........good luck and good healing. Jessica

I work for a living so I guess I must be working class....never gave it much thought....as we say up here "We're aw Jock Tamsons Bairns"we all come into the world the same way and go out the same way it's what we do in the middle part that matters.
