Sorry, we couldn't make a snowman, nor a snow woman, as the snow was very powdery. They tried (I was busy taking pictures). MARGED --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.225 / Virus Database: 107 - Release Date: 22/12/00

Hello Marged, Anne Here, could you please send me a copy of Tweety. I was so disappointed earlier this week when the Snow White item appeared in my In box, it would be good to have an attachment that I can open safely, maybe my kitten "Charlie" will appreciate it too.

Maybe we should change Bryan's name to Sylvester. Bryan is obviously more successful than the original. What will Granny say! Jean in Nova Scotia > Take those feathers out of your mouth, Bryan !

You have my sympathy, Brian. I have just spent some time on the phone persuading the bank we did return our leased car in time and do not owe them $390. Each call resulted in another call to make. It has taken two days to reach someone who knows what they are doing and what can be done. Then I made three phone calls to arrange the installation of the new dishwasher our daughters gave us for Christmas. again each call lead to someone else who passed me on to someone else. It turns out we have to go see the salesman at the store and arrange it through him. Very aggravating. Jean in Nova Scotia 'A word of warning. I just got my phone bill - £250.86.'

I know that feeling. Fortunately our snow is not that high! It is just enough so the skiers can go skiing.

I wonder how you would say Sylvester in Welsh ??? Yep, Sylvester ! Yet...Bryan...was successful whereas... No wonder he is called The Wild Celt ! He killed Tweetie !!! :( >Maybe we should change Bryan's name to Sylvester. Bryan is obviously more >successful than the original.

Thanks for saying that, Marged. I was beginning to think I should not have sent Tweetie around because every one is so concerned about viri right now. Listers, please accept my apologies for any alarm I have caused.

I loved my Tweetie and I am thankful you sent it to me :) Glenda

Brian I am very sorry - it was me sending a picture from the new camera, and I didn't do it right, even though it was sent as a jpeg Will send this via the list as I also owe the same apology to Dave, having sent him the same picture. Won't do it again, honest. Can you not delete it as it is trying to enter? MARGED --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

ooooooooooo Bryan, he is so cute too....lol Maggie

Hi Bryan, Yes thanks, I did have both and I hope you had a good Christmas too. The thing with Tweety was that both Marged's and Jean's were next to each other in my inbox which made me even more suspicious. I hope you have a wonderful Flwyddyn Newydd too, Maggie

OOOh Bryan - wish I was nearer I come and give you a push. If my son hadn't set such a cracking pace that my poor old Sally couldn't keep up with, I might have been able to have a go on Thomas's. It's been a long time since I have been on one. Our lane goes down through a ford, so I would have to be very careful where I got on it, especially with my youngest son ..........lol Still I might have been safe if no-one had a camera or video out. Maggie

I've just walked Sally across the fields as the lane is packed snow and very slippery....only been about 4 cars down there today but the 'main' road isn't much better. It's been just on freezing most of the day and no sign of gritter. Essex probably only has one and I expect it is on the M25!!!! Maggie

A word of warning. I just got my phone bill - £250.86. One call in particular on Sunday 10th Dec lasted 4.48 minutes and cost £1.22 during my "freetime" period. Then [on page 31 of my bill] they have had the cheek to charge £10.20 for LineOne Surftime and £15.29 for BT Surftime. After a phone call to BT where it was admitted there had been a "mistake" I was told it would be "sorted out". As always, check and double check. My heart will never be the same again!

Hi, If any of you are needing or wanting any snow, we have plenty over here across the pond and I will glady share it with you. Glenda
