Today I've mostly bin...

No it's not.

Vodafone voicemail is 121 and O2 is 1571 usually. Three should be 123 as well.

[giraffe]

o2 is 901 apparently and I have now found the message. I was googling Samsung voicemail, not O2. I assumed it was stored on the phone somewhere.

[LAT]

Sorted now then!
Have you added the voicemail number to your contacts in case you can't remember it next time?

Engineer has been and done a temporary fix so the house is gradually warming up. I can feel my fingers now and the toes feel as though they are thawing too. I was thinking of doing some gardening as it couldn't have been much colder outside than in.

[giraffe]

I could just ask a passing purple rabbit to remind me of the number!

I've just been trying to sort out my poor daughter, who is really ill with tonsillitis (swollen so much that she couldn't swallow! )
Ended up at the urgent care centre in the hospital, and I have to say I was really impressed. She was seen very promptly by a lovely and helpful doctor and now has some antibiotics. Then I took her home and made her some soup (which she eventually managed to get down) and made her lie down. Her kitchen looked like a bomb had hit it because she has been so ill that standing up for longer than 10 minutes made her feel wobbly, and her husband has been working all the hours (including today and possibly tonight) whilst having a heavy cold himself. So I had a wonderful afternoon cleaning her kitchen so that she didn't catch something even worse from there!

My only proviso was that if I have now caught said tonsillitis, it'll be down to her to look after me!

[LAT]

Oh poor K. Hope she is feeling better soon

[Bunnylump]

...to stay with LAT and meet Chazzie and Looby. Went to see the stage version of The Full Monty which was great fun.

Thank you for a lovely weekend, ladies, I needed that!

... to stay with LAT and meet with Bunnylump and Looby

The show last night was really good - and had a lovely Sunday - walk followed by lovely lunch. Thanks All.

Had good trip back to Gatwick.... train broke down at Guildford so ended up in a taxi from there to Gatwick - paid for by train company - and shared this with a lovely couple - who are just off for two months travelling around Thailand (not that I'm jealous). As we started talking they said that only a couple of weeks ago they were having a drink in my nearest bar in Gibraltar!! They were down there as they are looking to get married down there.... Really interesting chat!

[LAT]

... having Bunnylump and Chazzie to stay and seeing Looby too.

It was lovely to see you all and thanks for making the trip here.

That sounds an interesting trip to Gatwick Chazzie!

[Looby]

Of course you only get a taxi provided to the airport if you aren't in a hurry and could actually wait for the next train!
Pleased to hear that you got to Gatwick OK Chazzie. Hope that your flight was uneventful.

[chazzie]

Well seeing as you asked........boy pilot chickened out twice trying to land in Gibraltar this morning so ended up in Malaga! .....so a little eventful

[Bunnylump]

Sounds terrifying!

[Looby]

I suppose they all have to learn! Next time he'll be even more stressed about it so plan not to aboard!

[SparkOut]

I've looked down from the hillside above that runway, overlooking the queue of cars waiting to cross while the plane came in. It does look like, er, a significant test for a new pilot.

[chazzie]

Yep - it is a challenging land.........and they have to have a certain amount of experience before they are allowed the Gib route - so he probably wasnt as much a "boy pilot" as he looked ..... (to me!! :lol)

[Bunnylump]

Just bought my son a Raspberry Pi for his birthday. I don't know what it is, or what it does, or why he wants it, but all I can say is that it doesn't look very tasty.

[SparkOut]

Can I have one too? On the same day.

[Bunnylump]

I might manage an ACTUAL pie for you.

[chazzie]

..........sneezing

So do these raspberry things help with vitamin c levels?
