Off to bed with my book sleeping in the spare bed tonight as OH is out with some people from work one of the men is retiring tomorrow so they all decided to go out for dinner , OH won't be back in till after midnight and when he's been out and had a few drinks, he comes back in and starts snoring which drives me up the wall and I end up going to the other bed anyway. better change beds now for it's always cold in the middle of the night for trapsing about.

Morning All,

It started to blow a gale last night as I went to bed and it's the same this morning.

Fiona sent me an email to pass on but I am afraid I don't do that. Sorry Fiona. Not aloud to by OH.

Put a colour on my hair last night and have felt awful ever since. It stinks!!!!! and it is a well known make too. I shall now have to go and wash it again to get rid of the smell. My tongue is stinging, I could get to sleep and my eyes are stinging and thats not good today of all days. Wish I had'nt done it now!!

My kitchen has'nt been this clear for years, it's like being in someone elses house and it looks even bigger too.

So glad I have all your support for today. Thanks all.

Have just looked out the window and seen two little eyes looking back in. I put two small pork pies in one of those square hanging feeders for the fat blocks. It is hanging on a lantern hook which is placed in the umbrella hole of a garden table and looks just like it is looking back at me as much as to say "Iv'e got my beady eys on you"

Morning All,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID, hope you have a nice day.

Hope all goes well today too Mel, will be thinking of you. Sounds like an allergic reaction you have had to that hair stuff.

I went shopping with my sister yesterday. We sat in my car chatting for about 10 mins before we set off and her 2 pussycats must have heard us talking!! Before we knew it they were trying to find a way to get in the car with us. lol Have sent a few pics of them.

Will catch up with the thread posts later as I'm off out with OH next..

Frank Report 29 Oct 2010 11:16

Mel, Put plenty of hair spray on it, That will improve the smell. !!!! My thoughts are with you for today, hope all goes well.


I was just getting the sheets and pillow cases in yesterday, when she walked in. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING" was all I got. "I WILL DO IT" so I sat down out of the way. We had Chinese last night for Lewis. Loads of stuff including Chrispy Duck. He loves that.

Rang the doctor at 8 AM yes me up and about at that time. Got an appointment for 10.50am. She is down there now. I told her don't leave there till you get a referal. We will wait and see.

Best wishes to David. 21 again I suppose !!!! Had a good one mate.

Lewis goes home this afternoon, his Mum will be up about 4.30. It will seem quite without him.

Heard a joke on the Radio this morning. READ WITH AN ITAILIA ACCENT."An italian girl got married, and her mother said go to bed Maria. Your husband is waiting and he will look after you. Up to bed Maria goes. Her hushband takes of his shirt. and shows a big hairy chest. She runs down to her mother saying Carlo has a big hairy chest. Her Mother said Don't worry. go back to bed,and carlo will look after you. Back up she goes. Then carlo takes of his trousers, and shows big hairy legs, down she goes again to tell her mother, don't be silly Maria, of you go and Carlo will look after you. This time CARLO takes of his socks, He has three toes missing on one foot. She runs down to her mother and screams. HES ONLY GOT ONE AND A HALF FOOT. Her mother says you stay here I will go to him.
Have a titter on me.

We've got it right this time !!!!

Can you not be referred to any hospital Frank, that way you might get an appointment sooner. Poor Ros having to put up with that pain for another 2 months or more.

At least the weather is dry for Mel today, hope it is going okay.

I am going in the garden now, cut the grass for the last time this year, it should suck up all the leaves too, so two jobs in one. BBL
