Glad you're okay Jonesey, but don't forget those little jobs that make all the difference :

Put clothes in washing machine and turn it ON.

Plump up cushions on sofa

Wipe the front door down

Shift those newspapers

and, fer heaven's sake......make sure the toilet is clean!!!! ;-)

Ann,

You keep coming on here and I have to say that you are most welcome but I just HAVE to ask - Why do you never say anything ???

We just get that lovely smile and never anything else ! :-S

Please feel free to communicate and join in !

Gosh Jonesey - the time 'has' passed quickly, I didn't realise they were due back so soon.

You will be having a very busy day today and will be quite exhausted by the time they arrive ;-) :-D

I am sure you will be very pleased to see them though !

Good morning all,

Cyn,

I'm still here but very late coming on to the computer today. Got up a bit later than usual and decided to start the day with a long soak in a hot bath, I always have 2 baths a year whether I need them or not. ;-)

Today is my last day of freedom as the family are due to return home tomorrow, in fact if their plane is on time they may get here before I rise from my slumbers. This means that to be on the safe side I shall have to do a few jobs before today is out. Tidy up, put out the rubbish, wash 2 weeks worth of dirty crocks, pick up and wash my dirty clothes ect. I don't want them to think that I am incapable of looking after myself even though I am. ;-)

The 2 weeks has gone by quite quickly and very very quietly. Looking back, the telephone has rung on only 4 occasions and 2 of those were silent calls. I have only talked to 5 people, the assistant in my local shop (Twice), my ex-son in law (Twice), my No2 granddaughter, the milkman and the Chinese restaurant delivery driver (Twice). Even the postman has walked by on more occasions than days when he had mail to deliver to us.

Fortunately there has been a lot of sport on the television so that has kept me fully occupied for most of the time. Although cricket is not my favourite sport, the shorter, 20 or 50 over games, can be entertaining so I have been watching the current one day international cricket tournament. England's chances of progressing to the next stage appear to be diminishing. There is little doubt that the influx of foreign players into our normal team sports (Cricket and football) is having a detrimental effect on home grown talent being given the opportunity to realise their full potential. Rather sad really. :-(

All should return to normal tomorrow, lots of noise, hussle and bussle, dogs barking, wife moaning ect. I wonder if they have planned their next holiday yet. ;-)

Good morning...........I'll make some more toast and start some bacon frying Dea.....we do love our bacon don't we ? :-D


Grace, I have now got into the habit of clicking on post date most times I come on this thread :-S


I was looking forward to a thunderstorm "like wot you had", Dea, but I was disappointed 'cos I love thunder and lightening. :-(


That sounds like an extremely good bargain for carpet cleaning Sylvs.....I have cleaned mine myself most years since we moved here, but if an offer like that came along, I would certainly go for it :-D


I've taken the bull by the horns and ordered a new gas cooker and hob. I've had the present one for about 7 years and it is unreliable because it can cut out without warning. I never leave it on when I am going out. Then, last week, the ignition on my hob packed up so.......................my lovely OH said I can get have another one. That may have been before he saw the balance on the account though......... :-D


Off to browse~~~~~


By the by, where are you Jonesey? I do hope you are taking care of yourself...... <3

Here - have a bit of toast to take with you Ginns >>>>>>> <3

I will go and put some bacon and things on for the rest of us - looks like Sylvs has gone off to bed :-)

Dea Xxx

P.S. - Good morning all <3 <3 :-D

Oops.....forgot to say

Hello

Bye~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cynthia my dear, you should be more careful. Falling off chairs at your age can be fatal :-P

Hi Sylvia,

Glad the carpets came up well, it is always such a big job to move out furniture etc isn't it!

Hi Sylvia,

Glad the carpets came up well, it is always such a big job to move out furniture etc isn't it!

My computer of course is in the family room ............


.......... so I had to read, or do other things until I could get back into this room

I wasn't around until now ........................

we made a sudden decision on Wednesday to have some carpets cleaned, largely because we got a phone offer form the company who cleaned our furnace and chimneys last year.

We had these carpets that badly needed a professional clean ................. so OH suggested we took up the offer

3 rooms for $147 (ca £60-65) plus a 4th area free

so .................... they said "we can do it tomorrow afternoon" (that was today, Thursday) :-0


That meant yesterday evening and this morning was move valuables, plants, ornaments, lamps, books, coffee tables, etc etc

we had them do lounge and dining room and the upstairs family room, with the hall as the freebie

Our bedroom and the study are filled with all the easily movable furniture

OH has gone to church choir rehearsal ................ I hope he will be back before the rain comes so he can bring in the stuff we had to put on the sun deck


and then move stuff out of the bedroom so we can get into bed :-)


They use citrus-based materials .................. the house smells lovely, and the carpets look great. Plus ................... they only took 1-2 hours to dry

Hi all

lovely sunny day (Thursday)

Morning all,

Cold and wet here in Melboune today. Not that it seems to slow the drivers down any!

Now that GR seems to have rearranged itself, is there a way I can always get the most recent post at the top of the thread rather than having to click on the post date?

Not sure I like all the site changes it doesn't seem as intuitive to use anymore...and everytime I try to post or access a thread I get an error... :(

Gins I ask myself that all the time although I am not of retirement age just a lady of leisure I don't know how I managed everything when I worked full time.

Then again I was younger ;-)

Cynthia glad all went well today.

Dea I love storms as long as I am not out in them. I remember one time we were on holiday in Spain and there was a flash of lightning followed by a downpour it was over very quickly but you could tell the Brits - they were the ones still walking about in the rain ;-)

edited cos the emoticons went into overdrive

Thanks Dea............ <3
