19.24pm.

Dinner nearly ready as I have just put the doughboys in. It's Irish stew with sprouts. Carrots leeks onion and potatoes and barley in the pot with the doughboys.

We have just finished eating.............Just thinking back to when I was little .We had our roast at lunch time and then for tea it might have been scones ,jam and cream,or drop scones that Dad made.....or boiled eggs and soldiers.That was probably my favourite.I used to do boiled eggs for tea when my two were little.But James has never eaten eggs since I gave him his first boiled one.He was nearly sick,and to this day he will not eat eggs.He is 24 lolol
Just off to watch Franks favourite programme(not) the XF

Sounds like you escaped from Pudsey Sheila lol.I love these European Markets.Haven't had a German one here,but have had French and Italian.I went to a lovely German one in Covent Garden one year.Was it a Xmas German Market you went to?

20.03pm
Mel, I know what you mean, but when I click on 293. it comes back to 294. Just tried it again, and the same thing happens.

Regarding that notice you say is on the left hand side, is it because you are the founder of the thread ???? because I still haven't seen anything, other than adverts.

You been pinching SHEEP out of the field Jane, Lamb steaks indeed. Whats tomorrow leg of lamb. (One of my favourites) but a bit expenceive Have to make do with shoulder. !!!

Nice to see you around SHIRL, how are you keeping ??? is OG still playing you up?? Hows your Son getting on now ???

Robson Green
Derek Jacobi
All about a Tyneside Ship Builder who is to old to enlist for WW11 and joins the home guard, It's not often I get three of my favourite actors all in one programe.

Did you mention snow Frank , I hope not here. I googled the weather and it said we were having sunny and cloudy days all week, but tempretures would drop to -2 during the night, need to put on my Jimmies as OH is away from tomorrow till wednesday in Germany so I won't have anyone to warm my cold feet on.!!!!

I'll say goodnight now
BB tomorrow
xxxx

No sheep in our fields here Frank just Cows lol.I don't normally eat a lot of Lamb but just recently it has taken my fancy.
Chris wants to watch something at 9 o'clock.I think it is..Any Human Heart.No sure what it is about.
I will say Night Night now.Not that I'm going to bed ,but just need to turn this pooter off for the night .
See you all tomorrow xx

I'll say night night too, off to have a shower before the jungle starts .

20.56pm

Just managed to see previous page, and read whats been going on.

Maureen, No trouble. I will watch the last two tomorrow or tuesday, then they will be winging to 2nd hand Mo. Hope you enjoy them, a bit different.

Night Night All sleep tight.

See you in the morning.

Evening All,

Couldn't get on here earlier due to GR 'maintenance' and now I'm here most of you have gone. lol

OH has gone to bed with a migraine, so I think I'll be off soon. It's been a horrid dull damp day here. Saw MIL and FIL earlier. FIL's scans he had done are fine but they want to do another blood test in 6 weeks to check his kidney function. The specialist told him he is a very well man. He went bounding upstairs without even holding the rail this afternoon, not bad for nearly 90.......wish I could!! lol

Shirl, it's always the same when you clear your drawers.......looks twice as big in a pile on the bed than in the drawer. lol

Your dad will look nice for his party in his new jumper and tie Fiona. Keep him nice and warm too. I never realised Dobies were in Scotland as well. We have one about 15 miles away. They always do nice xmas displays, some of the best.

Was just thinking, when I was little, the xmas stocking was always one of mum's nylons, not like the fancy socks you see nowadays. Is that what other people had too?

Well, off to bed now......jobs to do with OH in the morning, like mending the bathroom door handle and re-fixing the kitchen towel rail. The air could be blue !!! lol

Night all xx

9.01am.

Morning All,

Not bright today but it is dry here and the sun is trying to shine a bit.

We are off to Barnstaple soon so just caught up with posts.

Don't even know yet what we are going for!! I have to change a matress cover I bought for a bigger one as we are going to order a king size bed and I bought a double.

Ann hope the air is not to blue when you get those jobs done.

Had a funny dream about having my hair coloured last night. Whoever did it did'nt cover the new grey growth!!

9.14am.

Watched the last program of Pillars of the Earth last night. I really enjoyed it. I think they are bringing it out on a dvd today. Never did see the first episode!

I too want to see that Any Human Heart but it is not OH's thing so I what it on the BT Vision box thingy on Replay when he has gone to bed and I can see it without comments about how bad it is made etc. He likes X Factor so we see that. He can't stand Katie Wassel and as for Wagner well..................................

Morning All

Well I think Mary Whitehouse would have a fit if she had seen' Any Human Heart' last night .......My goodness, at it like Rabbits they were lol.I haven't seen a TV programme with as much s*x in it like that for a very long time.Did anyone watch it?

I have lots to get on with this morning ,so I had better not hang around.
Someone is going to upset this morning,There was a beautiful young Ginger and White cat with it's yellow collar on lying on the verge down in the village.It must have been hit by a car.I saw a little old lady standing looking at it!!
Good luck with your DIY Ann!!..............BBL now 9.57

Morning Mel,
Morning Jane

Been checking up on the internet for prices of christmas fire screens, saw tthem up at Dob*ies the other day, I don't want one for the fire all ready got one, but it would be just the thing for to put round the bottom of the chritmas tree, we get a real one. and it would keep Sofia from touching lights and decorations, the screens look really great with santa and sleighs on .

of to have a shower and I need to get on with my christmas cards.
BBL

Oh yes. DAVID
Did you see Joe Maddisons War last night. 9.00 on ITV 3 here
is it on in your area?, it was great really good and I was surprise to see how old Robson Green & Kevin whatley both look.

11.30am

I just came on limne and can't get beyong page 290 yes 290. No arrow to take me down the pages.

11.32.am It won't let me move along the page no.s now stuck on 295.
I'll leave it a while and try again.

11.39am

Ah I am up and going at last. It is a bugg## getting going.on the site

Raining first thing (8.30) stopped now but not very nice. Cold and damp.

Who's out and about today,?? apart from Mel, on the Donkey run. I think Ros might want to go to town as she has some 40% off vouchers for one of the dress shops. She won't let that go.!!!! So I will stay at home ALONE, get veg done for tonight, then read or watch DVD,

hi Jane would love to see the photo of you in Japan eating fish sticks.
Pudsey was funny whoever he was he gave me a hug but did point out to him Children in Need was the day before what was he doing and thats when he chased me it amused several people.

What a wet nigel was last night poor man a bit fed up I think. Did not fancy having a electric shock I must admit Celebs got weird with the jungle antics. I think Nigels ego might have been hurt had he been put in prison in a black and white suit.

Poor puss cat being hit by a car. i just had a dishy indian doctor call to see
me about Jessica and her not eating .I moaned about him coming but he was good looking and his wife he says is a fashion designer and his little boy was born on christmas day and it was in the paper. The first time I have enjoyed talking to one Jessicas doctors he was so nice.

Hi All-----OMG----WHAT A MESS---IN HERE JUST NOW--- ALL PACKED INTO HALL/LIVINGROOM-------MAY NOT GET BACK AGAIN TO-DAY
SO HAVE A GOOD DAY ALL ----RAIN AND DAMP-HERE

TIME ----9.25AM

WHO HAS DOUGH BOY RECIPE????

15.58pm
Where is everyone. ????

Shirl, I use suet, flour and water.and a pinch of salt. mix together ,then roll into balls,about the size of snooker balls and put on top of the stew for the last half hour. I'm sure Mel will be able to tell you what you can add to it. I have to be carefull because Ros has Lica Planis (Wrong spelling i'm sure) in her mouth, So any spices sends her up the wall. Nurse Jane will be able to explain it better than Assistant ward orderley FRANK. even thouth I have nursed people before.!!!!

Turned cold outside, just walked to the Post office to post a couple of letters. Feels like rain/snow in the air.

How di the donkey run go Mel, What you bought for the bedroom,??? not too much I hope, you don't have any room lol.

Ros didn't go out after all. She is going tomorrow instead.

Maureen I just finished watching my DVDs. Will find an envelope, and get them posted.

Afternoon all,
