I used it earlier today Gins....no probs.


I'm being very good and not eating much choccy at all......it's hard work though :-(


It's been a nice day here today - sorry Dea.


We have an annual charity bike ride which passes through our area on this Sunday in the year.

I have absolutely no problem with this sort of thing........except....

When these amateur cyclists stray all over the main road (which is still open) and causing dangerous situations.

When they ride 4 or 5 abreast

When the so-called 'Wardens' are busy doing other things

and, worst of all......

When some cyclists use a graveyard and a school playground

as a toilet!!!


Shame on them!





:-| :-|

Have any of yoos had trouble with 'free' bmd/reg


....as in, you cant back button and you have to start all over with a search?

Ooooher Dea Dea!

Shame for Murray indeed - BUT, he can lick some of my choccy anytime !!! :-P

Dea Xxx

Dea


You are a real choccy freak


Shame for Murray...he won a lot of hearts today

I was just about to nibble on some of Sylvia's delicious Chicken Karage but realised that I had just eaten half a bar of Cadbury'r Caremel, half a bar of Peppermint aero bubbles and a third of a bar of Fry's chocolate crunchie !!!!!!!!!!!!! :-( :-(

Think I had better wait half an hour or so before I delve in !! ;-)

Dea Xxx

Dea Xxx

Watching tennis..........

I was going to have Huevos Rancheros but I note that you are serving lunch earlier today at 12.30pm so I had better just have a 'small' Ulster Fry-up so I can leave room for all those yummy treats at lunchtime. ;-) :-D

See you later,

Dea Xxx
