BC, you did remember to cut eye holes in that pancake didn't you?

WMSL..... Ann... you are on top form today, lolol

Lol at BC's face mask....... preferred the net curtain veil, myself, BC..... Do we mean panstick, not pancake, lol..... not that I could remember it, of course, far too young for that.... I googled it

*uncrosses fingers*

BC... that actually sounds nice, lol... sort of studenty!!



Mau, sounds like you had a brilliant weekend... I love it when we all get together, too.

I'd forgotten about those hop pillows, too, Jean... let us know how they work.

Love

Daff xxxx

Daff Lol Lol!!!! Could just imagine it. BC's fault for talking about eggs. (*whispers, actually I think she knew what she was saying!!)

*whispers back* me too, lolol ;¬))

Love

Daff xxxx

WAKEY WAKEY!!!

There.... that'll get 'em all kick started this morning!!

A little overcast, but trying to brighten.... I slept well with no Nytol or anything.... hubby off to work... am having my favourite tea tonight (Fish medley-made up thingy.... having it as a fish pie tonight, not a lasagne)

Son has drafted out his personal thingy's for his Phd applications.... including a research project for the one at Cardiff, which had me confused from the first sentence, lol.... basically looking at the effect of pollution, and the environment on tidal flow and how it affects a specific seaweed, which would lead to an accurate prognosis on the purity of the seawater in that area and the effects on other marine and coastal life... it has taken me an hour to decode it, cos it was all written in very posh language...... he has sent off all his applications for a new degree (Environmental Studies/Ecology..... to Hull, Cardiff and Sheffiels.... and has applied for Glasgow, a degree in parasytology (sp) ...........he has a degree in Marine Biology, specialising in cold water areas) Now doesn't all that sound High Falluting???

So my day is looking good... he is relaxed and cheerful........ in spite of all the circumstances surrounding his split, and in spite of the fact that he misses Littlie so much... so that is good for me, lol

I don't know what to do with my day... I need to do a T***o shop.... but as it is for the heavy stuff, that will be online. My trainee tigers are running out of food, with the help of the delightful Peggy - her real name is Jessie, but she was called Peggy by us when we didn't know her name.... she only has 3 legs.... and is an almost permanent feature in the house now-

I might get out my scrapping stuff, but I am a bit restless to do that... it will calm and relax me, though.... so maybe....

Right.... off for a shower before I decide whether today will be a glitter and glue day or not, lol

Have a wonderful Tuesday, everyone

Love

Daff xxxx

Goodness you are a live wire this morning. You did wake me up earlier but I stopped to have breakfast as we are meeting friends for coffee at 10.30.

Well done B for applying to all the unis, hope he gets what he wants, all seems very technical to me, never did have that sort of brain.

Go on, do some sticking, once you get started it will be very relaxing, all that glitter and all those ribbons!!!!

Morning Daff and All

LOL ..Put 'pancake' as that's what my girl friends and I used to call panstick when we wore it as teenagers (didn't need it but thought we were soo with it) lolol .....so hadn't even realised you wouldn't know what I meant :O)

Dull and cloudless here,but I'm going up my tree today so I'll be nice and snug indoors,albeit dusty.. breaking down more walls!!

I give OH a big smackaroonie from you BC........he said *in deep Elvis voice..."thankyouverymuch " O))

Good luck to your son Daff hope he's lucky!

Mau XX

It's ok, Mau... we did realise, lol.... just wondered if poor BC did, what with the trauma of her poor scabby face and all, lolol!! ;¬)))

I don't know whether to cut and stick... or play in my tree... think I might keep playing in my tree until I get my new specs... it makes me a bit giddy at the moment, reading all those lists.

We are supposed to be having a heatwave this week....... bring it on!!

Love

Daff xxxx

I think heatwave might be a bit of an exaggeration Daff, warmer than usual maybe, mind a heatwave would be very welcome!

Daff or Jude, can you tell me how to find the Chepstow Garden centre, in a couple of weeks we are meeting friends there and she says it is on the road to the Three Rivers hotel (which I don't think is actually called the Three Rivers any more) but T says it can't be on that road. She is useless with directions so I said I would ask. If all else fails he'll go on line.

It's OK, I have found it, on the A48 Wales side of Chepstow.

Ann.... R and I were there a couple of weeks ago... bought sausages from the farm shop....... delicioso!! And we bought some lamb... equally scrummy.... and the cornish pasties.... my mouth is watering!!

Sorry I didn't look in time to help..... I was doing my T***o shop......... need another mortgage, now, lol

Love

Daff xxxxx

Wi8ll remember to look in the farm shop then Daff, sadly their sister centre over here doesn't have a farm shop.

Afternoon Daff, Mr Daff and Everyone:o)

Getting brighter here, but in few hrs it will be getting dark :o((((

Ann...in answer to your question the other about the Forest of Dean....Vic says yep it was very colourful, most of the walk was in the forest, also walking through villages like Clearwell which he says is gorgeous!! have'nt stopped there myself but used to go through to work...tis nice:o))

Chepstow garden centre....is brlliant, my sister uses the farm shop on a regular basis. All l know is when yo come off the bit of dual carriage from the bridge turn left at the chepstow roundabout and its along there about a mile or so on the right:o))

We just ordered the paint for front room, carpet was ordered last week and will be fitted in 2 wks, the suite should arrive anyday!!! and its bright green leather.... l mean BRIGHT GREEN...lol have you seen the DFS advert:o))...we are both so excited, never been that bold before.

Ok thats it, hope everyone is well, if not hope you feel better real soon.
Take care:o)

Thanks Jude. Yes know clearwell quite well. When we lived in Lydney we used to go about once a week to eat at the Wyndham arms, the food there used to be great. New people there now from those we knew. And daughters friend had her wedding reception at Clearwell Castle in the 80s, a lovely setting.

Sounds like you are going to be very bright. sounds nice and fresh actually.

I thought the Forest would be looking good. Thanks, Know where it is now, will probably be going there in a couple of weeks.

Morning Daff, how are you today, woke up with a very bad headache, so trying to rest a bit today, not easy in this house at the moment...I will have to wait to try the hop pillow, as it wont be here before we go away, still maybe a bit of sea air may do the trick... how is the scrapping getting on, we told you it is addictive...but a great hobby.... have a good day...

~~~~~~~ to everyone ~~~~~

love Jean xx

Good morning, good morning, goooood morrrrning to you! Sorry for the offkey singing but have been up for ages, first of all the electrician came to fix my security light and tell me off about some wiring...then the man to clear the drains..then a quick walk in the park...

*flopps down with cup of coffee....


BC XXX

Morning everyone.... a little muggy here today... Jean, I have woken with a headache today, too.... I had two glasses of wine last night, so it could be that, but I don't think so... I think it is the mugginess..... I put all the scrap stuff away from little fingers..... must get it all back out again, now that she is back with mummy.

Today, I need to clean and sort the freezers, as I have a large order coming this evening, and will need the space. I cleaned the fridge yesterday, and tomorrow I shall have a mammoth soup, stew, spagh bol and chilli making day.... once that is done, it means that I can fritter away my days, and not have to worry about food, lol

Jude.... that sounds wonderful... one of my sisters has bright green, too... not leather, though... and it looks wonderful... I tend to stick to creams and pale yellows.... I love to change the accent colours, though, so have lots of cushions and throws, lampshades etc in all the colours I love... reds, greens, oranges and bronzes... burgundy, raspberry, lipstick etc...... I just change them when I fancy a change. My lounge is quite dark, because of the conservatory, and I like light and a feel of space.

My hurty bits are a bit sore today..... back hips and hands, plus my feet and ankles..... so I have taken the medium duty artillery... they make me drowsy so shall go back to bed for an hour I think... the order doesn't arrive until 8pm ish this evening, so plenty of time to get it sorted.

Have a lovely day, everyone

Love

Daff xxxxx

lolol BC.... you have been busy.... how is your face? You havent been picking, have you??? It's hard not to do when they itch as they are healing, though, isn't it?

OOOH.... a patch of blue sky has just appeared above the conservatory!! I feel brighter already!

Love

Daff xxxxx

Good morning, off out to town. Never mind muggy daff, hangover pure and simple LOl!!!

Wmsl, Ann..... cruel, that's what you are, lol!!

Have a good forage around town.... you going into Cheltenham or Gloucester??

Love

Daff xxxx
