OOOhh Sylvia - SO many sighs !!!

You are having a struggle at the moment aren't you ?

Do you not have a 'Laundrette' or 'Laundromat' or some such named thingy place near you where you could take all those washed clothes to dry in such an emergency like this ??

I didn't understand this one:

"I thought it might "go to Dr Geek's hospital" tme, but apparently not."

but hope you got it sorted!

And I REALLY didn't understand this one:

"Thank you Dea for pinch hitting for me " but think I must have done something good, to which you are very welcome! :-D :-D

Hope you get everything sorted and enjoy the time with your family !

Dea Xxx

Poor Sylvs......that's an awful lot of sighing you're doing but it's VERY understandable. Just watch you and OH don't tire yourselves out before the visitors arrive...... :-)


Am sending you some (((hugs))) so that you know I am thinking of you!



Dea - that's true about watching them later........hadn't thought of that! They are very repetitive programmes and you know exactly what is going to be said when but, you can pick up some interesting snippets.


OH's physio has finished with him for now. He is able to self-refer as and when his condition alters. We'll miss her because she was so nice and she said it had been a pleasure to meet us.........awwww ......


Gins.........we don't have a Mr Nobody.........we call him Icky the Firebobby (one of Ken Dodd's Diddymen!). :-D :-D :-D

Thank you Dea for pinch hitting for me :-D :-D


I should be fine for cooking tonight and tomorrow night


then I don't know what I will be able to do from Saturday through to Thursday next week.


Then the Friday through that weekend should be OK.

sorry I wasn't here last night


I lost internet connection after we came back from coffee.


It just would not work from about 4 pm (or midnight your time) until I went to bed.


Came on straight away this morning ............... after both tower and power being turned off for almost 12 hours!


I thought it might "go to Dr Geek's hospital" tme, but apparently not.



Huge sigh ........ of relief this time! :-D :-D

we're madly trying to get dry all the sheets and towels that we had to re-wash for daughter


she's allergic to fabric softener, and thinks she also is to detergent. So she only washes stuff in soap powders


Guess what we use for most of our washing?



I thought i had everything ready



sigh!



we don't have a dryer, never had one



bigger sigh



we dry on lines hung in the basement, not outside



big big sigh



the sheet and towel sets (4 of everything) were washed on Sunday and Monday .................. but there were so many of them that they haven't completely dried



huge sigh





s we've moved a small dryer rack onto the sun deck and are hoping we can make the beds by tonight.



why tonight when they don't arrive until tomorrow night??



OH has to go and have the tests for cataracts tomorrow morning. He's going to see the same specialist who did mine 11 years ago, and knowing what that specialist does, OH might not be seeing properly until late in the afternoon because of all the different drops and tests.




BIG sigh

Hi all

Linds

Gins
I thought "Mr Nobody" stayed in my house not seen him for a while now I know where he has gone ;-)

Sylvia
Hope the family arrive ok and you have a great time with them
:-)

Cynthia

Yes thats the best thing about being a Gran enjoying them for a day and then sending them home :-D

Glad you managed to get out to lunch with your friend.

I have managed to get two loads of washing out today cos the suns been out :-D

And.........why doesnt the money from unclaimed estates go to charity (my middle name)

Imagine, you worked hard all your life, saved a bob or two and the government get thier hands on the lot...........theyve already abou 60% of it in taxes :-P

Cynthia,

You can watch them all on the website later - that's what I did on the last series that you told me about.

I sat there one afternoon and got through tons of them one after the other.

And you can skip through the boring first bits.

Can't say I was overly impressed though but there were a few useful snippets.

Dea Xxx

Thank you for the porridge Dea; I nipped in earlier when you weren't looking. I was in a rush cos I have been busy, busy, busy.



Jonesey, isn't it typical? A new series and I haven't been able to watch a whole episode yet.... :-(

The little snippets I caught this morning made me think of what I have said earlier - a lot of the cases are about reclusive people who had few friends etc. I remain convinced that a majority of them were on the undiagnosed autistic spectrum. Hopefully, as diagnosis and support increases, there will be more help for these lonely people.


Our will definitely needs updating :-0 When we looked at it the other day, we have made provision for my disabled mother.

She died 11 years ago....... :-S


Waiting for the neuro physio to visit this afternoon. Such a nice young woman she is.... :-D

I aim to spend all mine before shufflin orf ;-)


I have got a will though although I think it might need updating




Can someone please tell me..........why would you turn the dishwasher off when its not finished its cycle grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

One of the 'men' in the house, although none will admit it!

Just a quick heads up. Heir Hunters is currently being shown on BBC1 at 9:15am daily.

I think that is a new series as I cannot recall previously seeing the stories told during the past couple of days. Although a bit repetitive in its format the programme does often include snippets of information helpful to those looking into their family history. Yesterday for example a case involved the Court Funds Office of which I was unaware. Another case highlighted the fact that the descendants of people adopted into families before 1927 had no inheritance rights in regard to the estates of other members of the adoptive family. This applies even when the adoption, although informal, had been overseen by the courts or through a solicitor.

Another case showed how two brothers effectively lost their families accumulated wealth when their step mother who had raised them from a young age died. The step mother had inherited from their father but as she died intestate her estate was distributed to her birth family relatives rather than her step sons.

Making a will is important if you want your estate to be distributed in accordance with your wishes.

Mornin all~~~~~~~


At last the garage door is being fitted :-D



Is there such a thing as 'eating too much fibre' :-0 :-0 :-0

OOOh - It must be a 'no Sylvia' day :-(

Just a small selection today then but it will keep us going. ;-)

I have made some porridge and there are various fruits and things to go with it.

Also plenty of cereals, yoghurts, croissants and danish pastries.

Lots of bacon, scrambled eggs, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms in the warmers - also a couple of poached eggs for Ginns.

Eggy bread and plain toasts and spreads.


Tea, Coffee and juices over there>>>>>>>>>

Hope that will be enough,

See you later,

Dea Xxx

So glad your friend enjoyed her birthday Cynthia,

Dea Xxx

Good morning Fred - what were you doing half way down page 2?

I nearly couldn't find you !!! :-(

Good morning everyone else too :-D :-D :-D

Dea Xxx

Night Dea, sleep well.


19 months is a lovely age when they go home at the end of a long day :-D



I see Gins is worrying about her tum again..........I'm sure that if we all muck in together, we will be fine.


Oh Sylvs........are you in for some fun and games......... :-D :-D :-D



Took my friend out to lunch to celebrate her birthday and her son and his young family were at hers for tea. She's had a really lovely day! :-D
