£6 Million - That's a Lot of Creme Eggs

Darroch @Darroch (245) • United Kingdom 12 Jan 16

Well, perhaps Cadbury may now realise that 'secretly' changing the traditional Creme Egg recipe was their smartest move. I have just read that the change has lost Cadbury over £6million in Creme Egg sales. For those who don't...

Kitchen Surfaces Tidy - Just Waiting on Tesco

Darroch @Darroch (245) • United Kingdom 12 Jan 16

Do you prefer to order groceries online or visit a store to buy? Personally, I definitely now prefer to have the majority of my groceries delivered, though quite like popping to local shops for a few items in between larger...

It's snowing!

Darroch @Darroch (245) • United Kingdom 9 Jan 16

Ok, so it's only snowing lightly just now, but nevertheless it is definitely snow and not more rain. It looks so peaceful. Small flakes are falling softly and lying on the ground. This light snow is definitely the type that my...

School Closing, Thanks to the Weather.

Darroch @Darroch (245) • United Kingdom 7 Jan 16

It's only 11.30am and I've just been to collect my daughter from school. We got a text informing us that the school was being closed and to collect children. I can't honestly remember the school ever closing during the day before,...

YAY! First Ebay Sale of the Year.

Darroch @Darroch (245) • United Kingdom 6 Jan 16

I'm happy that I've just sold an item on Ebay - my first Ebay sale of this year. It's not huge, but at least it's a little money and something else gone from the house. One day I will have succeeded in decluttering! Or at least,...

Think My Daughter May Be Upset Tomorrow

Darroch @Darroch (245) • United Kingdom 5 Jan 16

Right now it's just gone 10.20am and my daughter is still fast asleep in bed. That is despite us having got her to go to bed a bit earlier than she'd got into the habit of. Then again, I'm not sure she actually went to sleep when...

Yay! I Got It Working.

Darroch @Darroch (245) • United Kingdom 4 Jan 16

At last! It took me long enough. Or rather it took me much longer than I'd have ever intended. But at least now I can say I have it working. Hurrah! So, what is it? It is a Wifi Wireless Music Receiver. Mum had...

What Percentage of People in the UK Earn Over £35k?

Darroch @Darroch (245) • United Kingdom 2 Jan 16

I was just reading of five new laws for 2016 . Four of them seemed fair enough, but the first one I read seemed quite ridiculous. Basically from April 2016 if you are from outside the EU and have been living in the UK, then you...

Tree is Down - Time to Start the Year

Darroch @Darroch (245) • United Kingdom 2 Jan 16

Well, that is our Christmas tree and decorations down. I think I'd had enough of it for this year anyway. Usually we'd be around the 5th or 6th of January when I take it down, but I really just wanted it gone. With the tree down,...

New Year Resolutions?

Darroch @Darroch (245) • United Kingdom 31 Dec 15

Well, here in the UK there is only 1 1/2 hours of 2015 left, so my mind wanders on to what I would like to achieve in 2016. So, what would I like in 2016? Well, goes without saying that I don't want to see more flooding, but...

Frankly, It's Been Awful

Darroch @Darroch (245) • United Kingdom 30 Dec 15

Hopefully that's Storm Frank moving off. And not before time too. The village where we live has sadly been badly hit by this storm. I have never personally seen flooding quite to this extent. Sure I've seen awful scenes on...

Did Storm Frank Cut Our Power?

Darroch @Darroch (245) • United Kingdom 29 Dec 15

Well, I'm guessing we have Storm Frank to thank for turning out the lights in our street. Thankfully though, as I'm sure you can guess (as I'm obviously able to type here), our electric power has been restored. The power wasn't...

Darroch @Darroch (245) • United Kingdom 29 Dec 15

Just watching a television program on the bbc iplayer - All Aboard! The Sleigh Ride. Whilst not what you could class as exciting, it is very relaxing and enjoyable to view. It follows the path of an ancient postal route across the...
