General Chat

Afternoon all
Just had lunch and OH back from Cycling so when he's showered and eaten we are off to the shops, Daughter no 2 & boyfriend not feeling so well both down with head colds achey etc, so I don't think we will see much of them .

BBL

I remember another bad winter .I was nursing in Plymouth and had New Years Eve off.My parents always had a big party and I was going to go .But because there was so much snow the were no buses or taxis running and I couldn't get home.I ended up going into work as I didn't fancy sitting in my cold flat all on my tod.I think New years day was 1979.My sister and her first OH almost got to Mum and Dads when their car got stuck in the snow.Janice was almost 9 months pregnant and was pushing the car!!!!.I think they had to abandon it and walk the rest of the way .
I'm just about to start the Ironing AGAIN.Chris has very kindly brought down a load of new shirts that have creased in the packaging,and I have just the last few bits of James's things before they get packed.

Glad you enjoyed your breakfast out Ann.Was it the Full English?

Hi Everyone,

It's beautiful here today. I took the girls to see some Morris Dancers earlier - they were fascinated with the costumes and banging of sticks. As soon as we were back home, they decorated their hair with ribbons and clips and were out in the garden dancing. Fortunately they haven't found any sticks lol.

Frank thanks for the emails today. I loved the 'guide dog' one - made my OH laugh too.

I had a nice surprise today.... A win on the premium bonds..... Only £25 though. Doesn't go far these days does it lol

Afternoon all,
Lovely and sunny here today

Ann, Happy Anniversary to you and OH ,enjoy your day xx

We have taken Chelsea her presents and she was so excited ,going back later for her birthday tea .

I haven't seen any Morris Dancers for ages ,they are usually dancing at the coast through the summer .
Catie that was a nice surprise winning some money , would have been even better with a few noughts after it lol

Just popped on to say I am having a lovely calm time in Stratford
just got Annie to bring me over to see my ho and tidy up for him
having to do the shop and run the house got into a bit of a mess
him and his mate Henry hope your all well popping back off now
and going back to Stratford luckily its only a hours ride away very chilly but some sun this morning I am feeling so much better but
had to get some diazpan from doctor he gave me 4 but its done the trick. Mel hope your mum is feeling better not had time to read threads a mounting of washing up to do .only had to do it for two
people all the week and me and Annie take it in turns.

Been to Holsworthy to take the new pressure washer back. They have lent us one while ours is being repaired under warranty. We've only had it two months and it won't go!!!!

Mum had a slice of hovis toast for breakfast and a cup of tea.

So glad your having a good time Sheila and your feeling better.

Happy Anniversary Ann to you & OH.

Catie, sounds as if you & the twins had a great time, I'd have loved to have seen the little ones all with ribbons in their hair dancing, It's nice to hear about them being happy.

Good news, It seems that Daughter no 1 may have got the travel job she wanted she went for an interview this morning and the woman said she thought it was 95% certain that daughter had the job she just had to sort out work shifts so that they were able to fit in with daughters times getting baby sitters (mum and hubby) for Sofia, It looks like I will be needed about twice a week from 4- 7 in the evening when SIL will pick up Sofia on his way home from work.

off to put washing on line sunny but cold.

Forgot to say

Thank you for your good wishes Mandy and Fiona.......thank you Mel, that is lovely.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHELSEA

() () What did you get her Mandy?
( '.' ) I bet she's full of chat and excitement when you go for tea. Hope the
(")_(") 2nd cake was ok.

Jane .....it was the 'part English' for me. lol I only have egg, beans, tomatoes and brown toast, no butter. I love the rest, but don't eat much fat......I know I will only wear it all around the waist if I do!! lol Sometimes I do nick a small bit of OH's bacon. lol

That's good news for your daughter Fiona especially as it is a job she wanted. I just fetched the washing in.....spitting with rain here.

Happy Anniversary Ann. Hope you have had a lovely day.


Happy Birthday to Chelsea. Hope she's had a lovely day too.


That's Good News for your daughter Fiona - well done to her.

Glad you are having a nice time with your friend Sheila.

I bet Chelseas party is in full swing now!!I can just imagine her excitement.

Lovely to hear from Sheila.Great she is enjoying herself and feeling better.

Frank you always loose your posts lol.It's happened to me a few times.One minute it is there and the next 'Poof' it's gone.

Fiona that sounds brilliant news for your daughter.When will she hear if she actually has the job?

Ann ,you are good.I would have had to have had the bacon lol

Well I think we have had to declare Summer over and turn the heating on !!
I will probably be stripping off in a minute.

Sorry Catie,I forgot to say how nice it was to hear the girls enjoyed the Morris Dancers.Did you take pictures of them doing their own dancing?? with their ribbons .

Happy anniversary Ann & OH

Jane, daughter was expecting the woman from the travel company to ring her back this afternoon and confirm arrangments about the job. but she didn't , so daughter says she'll have to wait till Monday morning now and then ring the woman, she will need to do it early as if it is all go ahead, then she will have to ring Sain*bur** and tell them she is no longer interested about their job.

Jane I have had the heating on to day as well. it was really chilly this morning when we got up and now the suns gone it's clouded over and it's cold again.
Did all my ironing today, and put away my summer clothes Tops, linen trousers etc. and my sandels, back to shoes but not boots yet , try and wait till it's really freezing before I put them on.
mind you I did get my furry slippers out of the cupboard,

Daughter no 1 just rang to say she has the travel job the woman had just phoned daughter starts next Tuesday from 5pm-9pm.
So we a really pleased SIL thinking of buying another car as there was talk that in the future daughter may have to start work at 5 am at the weekends and work a 12 hour shift, , but thats not for a while yet.

That's great Fiona.I bet she is really pleased.What will she have to do?
My daughter should be just about to leave Croatia now.Hopefully her flight will be on time.I always get a bit jittery in the old Tum when she flies as she is not really a good flier.She will be hopeless company for her friend as she will just try and sleep.She eats and drinks nothing.I remember when we went to Tokyo,she had nothing at all and I think it was an 11 hour flight !!

Hi David.How are things?

I'm hot now lol.I knew I would be .I am going to have to make sure the radiator in the bedroom is OFF when I go upstairs.There is no way I will have a good sleep if the bedroom is too warm.
Tomorrow we are going to London for an Engagement party.I may have already said,but it is the Brother of Rachel who got married in Dubai .It's about time lol.I think he has been with his girlfriend for 8 or 9 years now.I just wish his Mum was still alive to see how well he has done.He works in the Cabinet Office.
Phew I am going to go and take this top off and put something cooler on.I think my face is like a beetroot ,and I'm cooking lol

Night Night all
XXXX

Night Night from me too.xx
