More chance of wining the lottery than getting snow round here. Oh, I forgot, I did. Well a free lucky dip anyway. Better cancel the Bentley.

There's always online shopping. That sort of money who cares about viewing or road testing.

I do the Post Code Lottery, been doing it for about 3 years now. You don't get big jackpots like 20m but you are supposed to have more chances to win something. Total prize money so far........nuffink.

Turning to sleet and later rain. The log burner gets set up every day ready for the evening burn. You can’t beat it.

Indeed not ... we are also using smokeless coal this year and that is great apart from the amount of ash it deposits as compared to the logs.

I haven’t used coal on the burner yet, preferring to stick to logs. But I am surprised by the amount of ash produced by them. Normally I put the ash round the rose bushes as it has good nutrients for them, but there is only so much ash I can spread about.

Re: The Children's Off Topic Thread
Probably because it just an automated sales pitch they send out. Just phone them up (good luck) and tell them to stop sending the info.
