She mentions real places and buildings, one was a single building my brother went to when it was a classroom. but the names were changed.
Edit it was called Blue coats when my brother was there 1950s and 1960s.

I really love holding a real book,nothing like it in my eyes :-D :-D. My hoard are mainly Non Fiction with loads of them being History and Maps. I usually pass on any fiction ones I read to friends or the charity shops.

My friend bought me a Kindle and I put all my books on it, so I have all my books together and loads go space on my book shelves.

He does not care where it comes from but he just could not find one he really liked :-D :-D :-D. We buy a lot from charity shops and donate a lot too. I took a large bag to one in town this morning and will no doubt sort some more out for them soon.I really have to thin out my book hoard though I really loathe parting with any

My hubby used to be like that but not any more even when he knows it came from a charity shop, we donate a lot to Sue Ryder and buy clothes and bedding there too.

Too right I was out shopping for just one jumper but could not refuse another at that price. We also bought 2 new duvet covers at a bargain price and a couple of t shirts for me. Poor OH didn't get anything today as he was looking for a jumper too,but being Mr picky he didn't find one he liked

Evening all, are you all keeping warm, it is bloomin freezing out. I have been hot all afternoon sorting the my craft stuff and getting some of it on the shelves and in the drawers. I have had enough now so sitting with my feet up :-D :-D :-D

Evening YG, I hope the draft strip helps. I have put up a thick curtain at the front door as it has a large glass panel beside it and you can feel the cold coming off of it even though it is double glazed.
Enjoy the outing to choose a wedding dress, how exciting :-D.
No I am not going to WW at the moment as there has been and is too much going on to stick to the programme.

Evening everyone :-)

Maz, are you finishing work? If so, I am very jealous!! :-D

I have been so cold this last couple of days that I have been out and bought some special draft strip that I saw advertised and I have fixed it on the back door. it seems to have worked well, but I will know for sure when I get up in the morning and find out how much warmer the kitchen is ....... or isn't!!

I need to do some unmentionables tomorrow, then am off out on Sunday with M & V to look at some wedding dresses!

Both R and I need to get some weight off before next year :-0 :-0

LG, are you still going to WW?

I am ok in quite a short while thank goodness. I usually don't feel the cold but since I had the nasty flu bug over Xmas I do.
