Carrying their sandwiches in a carrier bag I hope. Bet it was them

Looks like this could become a new feature of the thread. Now that woof has gone AWOL we will all need to be on Wolf Watch and report back accordingly although I would have thought that ice would have some intel from all her sources in her bunker. Actually I spotted something similar near me a few weeks ago although in this case it was dogs on a fleece. Eyes peeled ladies (a friend of mine loves that expression and always thinks of oranges!) remember that MI5 thinks it ought to be recruiting from amongst our ranks !

As an aside their website has a test you can take to see if you are suited to working in MI5 - I did it and it said I would be suitable - problem is it's not difficult to guess how to answer Hmm

PS I was going to add the link but then thought better of it as I'd probably put myself on the GCHQ radar a bit like the time I posted a message 15 times which mentioned both special forces and Syria Blush

MaddieMoo82 · 09/01/2017 21:42

Hope it was them going for lunch! Maybe we will all be wearing fox fleeces in a few years thanks to BA!!

rhu you made me laugh with the GCHQ/Syria thing! God knows what they think if they are looking on here!

Miserable rainy day here today. Managed to get out late in the day with the dog and ds for walk and not get soaked. Ds has a new found confidence/independence and it took us about an hour to walk ten paces whilst he explored every puddle and picked up every stick. Poor dog just stood looking forlorn with her ball!

Rhubarb01 · 09/01/2017 21:47

mads I'm sure they'll think it's all some sort of obscure code for something and start looking worldwide for references to 'Wolf' Fleeces' Grin

MaddieMoo82 · 09/01/2017 21:51

This is all they will find rhu and will probably be a tad confused Smile

I always think of one of the first series of The Apprentice when I see those as it reminds me of Saira Khan and James somebody having to sell them on a TV shopping channel and trying really hard not to laugh about it.

I'm thinking we need a new thread uniform 🤔

ooh Yes! Warm and comfy and ample coverage - put me down for one!

MaddieMoo82 · 09/01/2017 22:18

Ooh those are pretty special pix

Ilovelblue · 09/01/2017 22:40

There's a couple I sometimes see in the vet's who wear those - they always remind me of Howard and Hilda if you remember those two from Ever Decreasing Circles?

MaddieMoo82 · 09/01/2017 22:44

There does always seem to be pairs of coats ilove, I'm not sure why that is!

Richtea19 · 10/01/2017 07:33

pix how funny, I'm going to believe it was woof and orph. They were probably on an outing trying to accost some poor sole for naked wrestling.

They do look quite cosy for the cold weather we are promised!

icemistOBE · 10/01/2017 11:01

Hi everyone.

Thankfully it's finally back to school day!
These holidays seem to have lasted forever!

I don't think I could have coped with the kids off until now ice. Back asap here.

Ilovelblue · 11/01/2017 08:07

Morning all. How are we all coping? Any January blues? I have nodded off in the chair nearly every night since going back to work.

Really windy here today but not as cold as has been forecast. Not yet anyway.

Richtea19 · 11/01/2017 10:16

Struggling with winter blues. I'm desperately trying to be healthy and eat well and up my exercise but it's so hard. I just want to comfort eat!! When I'm at work there are so many boxes of chocs and biscuits my will power is being pushed to the max!

We have snow forecast for tomorrow evening... I better go to the shops and buy four loaves of bread, milk etc in case we are snowed in!!!!

Ilovelblue · 11/01/2017 21:21

Very windy here tonight. Where is everyone?

I don't really suffer with winter blues particularly but I'm on comfort food too Rich. Risotto and a sponge pud I found in the freezer. It must have been there a while as it has my own rhubarb in it so I guess it must go back to June or possibly July!

I've been quite good at work with salads or jacket potatoes and as I'm diabetic, I am usually not bad at avoiding chocolate (in fact I only had two on Christmas Day, that was my lot). However, cakes are my weakness and I've just made one to take to work tomorrow to use up some jam and cream. It's amazing how many friends you find you have when you produce cake! It's a lot better than eating it all yourself of course.

MaddieMoo82 · 11/01/2017 21:38

Evening! It doesn't really snow down this way... usually just lots of rain!!! Hoping everyone is all wrapped up warm ready for the big artic chill Hmm

Hope your alright richtea January/February are always a rubbish months. I'll leave this lovely photo here for you Grin

Nightmare day yesterday. Ds was wide awake in the early hours 2-4.30am and after finally getting back to sleep we slept through both our alarms and he slept in so woke up 15 minutes before we would normally leave for work so was rather late in. Then just as I got back to my car in the evening they shut the main road home due to finding some unexposed World War One hand grenades so a 50 minute round trip to pick up ds and get home took 2.5 hrs ShockShock. My poor bladder suffered massively!!

ilove can you bring in tomorrow to my work please!

MaddieMoo82 · 11/01/2017 21:40

Oops forgot the cake bit Blush

Ilovelblue · 11/01/2017 21:53

Lovely photo Maddie. Do you think he knows how good looking he is? I work with a guy who is incredibly tall, very good looking and a lovely personality to boot. He's so lovely because he really doesn't realise how good looking he is - or if he does realise it, he keeps it very well hidden. Some of them strut around as if they're God's gift, but this guy doesn't. We joke that if we were doing a calendar for work, he would feature on at least six months of the year! Sadly, there aren't really enough hunky guys to have a different one for each month.

I can send a virtual cake through tomorrow if you like?

YorksOAP
In Lakeland sale all ready for next year a bargain at £5 but wouldn't have paid the full price!!
I am sure there will be some very negative comments from my lot but I can smile to myself.

Great photos of BA in rehearsals for his new play brightening up a very windy and wet day. Luckily no snow yet Goodnight everyone

Braced for snow here. It's dry and not very cold right now but I'll keep a watch on things. Town grinds to a halt at the first flurry of snow and I could end up on a slow bus ride out like Mads if it comes.

Son is very excited at the prospect of snow, I keep on telling him that it might not get to us. He's going to be disappointed if we don't get something.

Lovely photos of BA from the rehearsals. Curls and stubble are a favourite 😍
