The boring thread.....

[Scrumpy]

What's a DG day Alex? Forgive me if you've already said, or if it's obvious.

Alex probably won't get up until around 4... 

DG is dressing gown....

I'm similar every day. I get up and pull on my scruffs. Eventually I'll get a shower and dress in a slightly less scruffy set of scruffs.

        Well I'm up early today, just sitting here waiting to be picked up to go to Chester for lunch. It looks posh too !

Of course, ta Scrumpy!  One step up from a DD (duvet day) 😄.

Hope you enjoyed lunch in Chester Alex.

This is not boring so maybe I shouldn't tell you ? okay I will then  WELL!  we got to this hotel called Rowton Hall it was lovely and we sat in these plush sofas reading the menu and chatting as ya do, when the bloody lights went out and nothing worked.  The beer pumps wouldn't pump, nothing in the kitchen worked so we all sat in the gloom while the staff scuttled around for some lamps.  After a half hour the manager went round telling people they had no idea how long they'd be without power and all they could offer was sandwiches, not their fault of course.
A member of the group started ringing other restaurants to see if they could fit in 8 of us and we finally got a nice place not too far from the Hall.  Alls well that ends well as they say......and the birthday girl was happy which was the main thing.

Oh dear, Alex.   That's a pity about the power off.
Still, as you said -   'all's well that ends well' I suppose and glad it worked out in the end.

[GrannyMac]

Should have paid their bill 😬 Seriously, must have been embarrassing for the hotel.  Great you had a good time anyway!

[Alex]

Foggy here today and cold so the heating is on for an hour or two.

[Scrumpy]

Alex... A Birthday party to remember.. 

Heating is on for a couple of hours here also.. Very grey out there...

[Mups]

Morning all.
Yet another grey, damp day  -  and Yes,  I am bloomin' cold,  so my heating is on, too.

Started costing money too and they say the rate will be going up a lot when the cap is set next. 

Glad you took the fix Miups? I am.

Yes, I certainly am.    But I can't remember how long it's 'fixed'  for,   can you?

I have heard talk about it all going up by 25%  in January!!

Thanks Klondy.   I can't remember exactly when I did it though,  but I suppose it should all be in my Octopus account,  so I will have a look there.

[klondike]

I think you said you had a few days after I did. I got mine from my Octopus account which I don't find all that easy to navigate.
