Nite nite all - It is Friday tomorrow !! :-( :-S

Love you all!

Dea xxx

Sounds like you had a good time....except for turkey 'training'!

Ive been busy chasing car insurance as the new car arrives on Tuesday, quotes dont half differ

:-0

Sylvia hope you feel better soon <3

Also hope there were more highs than lows on your trip :-)

Cynthia I hope your OH feels better soon <3

After GD went home we took the tree etc down doesn't the place look bare without all the decorations?

I must say thought that I was glad to get lthings back to normal :-)

Had spotty GD today to give her Mum a break.

All went well UNTIL it was time to go home. My friend had left a gift for the new baby so trying to bribe GD I said lets go home and give F her gift.

At this point she had had her coat and wellies on and off like a yo yo and was crying her eyes out.

The pressie had disappeared after much searching we had to go wihtout it :-(

In the car I said "silly Gran has lost F's present" and the little voice in the back of the car says "under the table Gran"

When we got home it was under the coffee table

Somehow I get the impression she didn't want to go home ;-)

We had great fun ...... especially on the trains, and especially on the last train of the whole trip.

The food was as good as it always is, and there was great conversation with people on all legs of the journey.

The home stay had its highlights, and also some major low points.

Christmas Day was good, as it always is when there is a child there, and J cooked a turkey to perfection.

It began to break apart after dinner when M asked OH to strip the carcass ........... OH began to cut off thin slices of meat to get down to the bones, as he has done for at least 45 years (and possibly as long as 60 years). That was wrong! ............... M pulls the meat off in strips, using his hands, and that is the "only" way to do it.

He instructed OH what to do, and then pushed him out of the way and took over doing the job ............ leaving the washing up waiting to be done.


Oh Hum!


Boxing Day was more than a little straught!


I have no idea what is going to happen next, whether we will even go there to stay in future. :-(

I have an awful cold :-( :-(

J and MJ had a funny cough only "cold" the whole time we were with them ......... I held out against that, and then started with this on Monday, on the train.

Interestingly, it is too long after leaving J and M's, but too short to have caught it on the train ...... that's if you believe the 3 day rule

BUT I have a very dry cough and a runny nose ............. and couldn't sleep last night


I'm miserable :-( :-( :-( :-D

Hi everyone
xxx


cold but sunny here

Quiet day round here :-S


I spect everyone is busy - I don't seem to have stopped for more than 10 minutes.


OH has a cough so I thought I would just phone the doc to see if there was any possibility of an appointment maybe tomorrow. They are now running a new procedure where the doc phones you back and decides if he needs to see you or not.

So, the doc phoned and decided he wanted to listen to OH 's chest.....and he could see him in an hour :-0

Well, that 'speeded' me up I can tell you!! Anyway, it seems as though his chest was fine but he's got some antibiotics to help shift the cough.

This afternoon I seem to have walked miles with my daughter as she shopped with her Christmas vouchers............me likle legs is worn out... :-(

Thanks Dea, for breakfast :-D

Welcome back to the mad house Syl, Im sure we will catch up with your happenings later

Thank you Dea dearest...........just what I'm in the mood for.........something light but tasty. <3


Hi Sylvs ~~~~~~~ nice to see you back. Off you go and stock your shelves.... :-D


Brought both shoes AND daughter back Dea......she soon scarpered when she knew we were having a visitor......she's not keen on visitors. When she was little, nine times out of ten, she would hide in her bedroom until they had gone. It's part of the AS. :-(


Linds, that would be great in theor y (meeting up with my cousin), but he lives 'darn sarf' and I lives 'oop norf' . I can't travel much these days because of OH and my cousin is working full time . However, they do try and visit about once a year so I will try and remind him next time I know he is coming up.


Got a nice tidy house now! Decorations put away and dusting and hoovering done...... :-D


OH woke me just after 6am to tell me that there was something wrong with the boiler. I blearily went to peer at it and pressed the 'reset' button. Hope that has sorted it. I am only just 'unblearing' 3 hours later.... :-D :-D :-D


Better get my shower now........~~~~

Continental only today folks, but there is PLENTY of it !!! :-D ;-) :-D

Do help yourselves......................

Dea Xxx

P.S. - Meant to say - Welcome back Sylvia ! <3 <3 <3

Dea Xxx

Hi

I'm home ........... had fun, much of the time anyway.


Not had time to go shopping yet, and there's no food anywhere ......... none that's edible, at any rate.


Please, pretty please, can you guys fend for yourself for another couple of days?




Happy New Year to you all
xxxxxx

Cynthia

Why don't you have a little visit with your cousin and sort through the photos together :-)

Theres a name for someone who has a lot of 'visitors' ;-)


Its been a funny old day, everyone gorn and back to work

Did you swap the new pair of shoes for the 'daughter' or did you bring them both home ??? ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Dea Xxx

You are always having visitors Cynths !!! ;-)

Dea Xxx

Not sure Dea but it can't be long now.


Went shopping with daughter this afternoon and came home with a new pair of shoes.... :-D :-D


Got a visitor soon so am here and there and everywhere...... :-D

Just wondering - when does our Sylvia come home ???

Dea Xxx

You know what, you know who, enjoyed the you know what :-D


Fank yoo

Morning Dea and thank you..............the porridge is lovely. I'll leave the pan of you know what for you know who ;-)



I know exactly what you mean Linds.......I'm happily engrossed in looking through dates when, to my dismay, I realise I should have been cooking a meal or somesuch. :-(

My cousin has, apparently, a large box of photos of one particular branch of the family but, although he has promised to let me have them to sort through, they haven't materialised as yet. Mind you, he does live 300 miles away...... :-D


Back later ~~~~~
