They've just come back Mel, so peace is at an end!!!! Cas has been really good and did her first pick up on her own!!!!! She's very tired so not much playing from her tonight!!
Getting very dull here and cold. I have the first part of my annual review with the practice nurse at 8.30 tomorrow! Next week I see the Dr and will hopefully be given a clean bill of health for another year! fingers crossed.
Chicken for supper tonight, so easy, and not too much clearing up!

Back from the film.It was ok but I wouldn't rave about it..The name of it was Joy.
For the first time I actually felt chilly in a cinema and was glad to get home and put a wram jumper on.The weather is grey and really dreary here but at least the fog lifted.

I would love to have some rotten apples in my family tree.But sadly everyone seems t o be just run of the mill .
Anne you asked where my BIL works on the flooded reserve.It is Tewkesbury .I think he is project Manager (or something).

So Frank clean and ironed shorts all ready for you :-D.Just think in a couple of days you will be enjoying some lovely sunshine and heat.
Hannah says it is about 36/37 where she is right now.At least they have air con in the beach bungalow for night time.

Mel I am glad your teeth are gradually getting better.It is such a pity you have had all this bother.Fingers crossed the new ones in March will fit perfectly.

Talking of spell check ..I don't know if I said (I may well have done so sorry if I am repeating)..I sent a text message to Hannah the other day to say we were going to Fitz's on Sunday for a Drinkie Poo.........I hadn't realised but the message actually sent as ...going for a Stinky Poo!!!!!!! :-D

Time for a cuppa .Chris is bent over the coffee table desperately trying to finish off this puzzle.I bet he won't be able to stand up properly.I can hear huffing and puffing going on so `i think he is getting a bit exasperated now :-S

What do you mean Liz/Mel. How you get on when oh are out. I'm sure that they like me, don't stop you getting on. Ros works around me. !!!

Would you believe it. It's drizzling with rain and my silly neighbour has just hung out a line of washing. :-( :-( :-( I'm sure she is getting dementia . When she walks down the road. Her head is right down and her arms are streached out by her side. I have asked Tony about her, and he says "SHE'S FINE" Everyone around us know otherwise. She should go to the Doctors with him, so he can explain how she is. As yet I don't think he has bothered.

Did you manage to get to the cinema Jane. I thought it might be iffy going in your state. :-D :-D :-D :-D ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Our neighbour across the road was 85 yesterday, Ros took her some flowers and a card. She has just had a HIP replacement, but is finding it hard to get around. Her daughters are coming morning and night to get her up and put her to bed. I know one is on her own and lives in a bungalow. Why does she not take her Mother to live with her for a few weeks. SOME PEOPLE :-( :-( :-(

Carolyn has SKYPED to say she is doing a BBQ on Sunday and inviting some other
friends who live out there. So I can see a boozy afternoon ;-) ;-) ;-)

I still haven't got SPELL CHECK so excuse any mistakes !!!

The sun has gone now and we have grey skies.

Its still ssh here and I have been out inthe shed having a clear up of all the green stuff I brought in there and never used. The needles were falling off the fir and I had to sweep up two dustpan loads and a few more after taking the branches out to the bonfire.

Have brought the flowers I did'nt use back in to pack away till next year.

Liz it does seem strange to me how we can get on when our oh's are out.

Frank, my Kindle automatically spell checks. If you spell something incorrectly and you want to stay with that spelling you have to overide the correction. Mind you, you have to be a bit careful that you don't get American spelling!! My laptop underlines an incorrect spelling, so you can correct it by clicking on to it or leaving it, it's up to the individual. I would have thought yours would have done the same! I've never heard of losing spell check, but perhaps Ann can help you.
Nice day here. OH and Cas are out beating all day!!! I've even cleaned some windows!! This afternoon I shall go up to the raspberry canes and see what's what.

It's started to rain here now. What's it doing in Devon Mel ??

Ros is off to have her nails done this morning, and hairdressers tomorrow, so she will be all primed for her holiday.

J & C will meet us at the airport about 6.00 pm. We are going to a Pasta/piza restaurant on the way back to their house. Both Ros and I are not too keen on piza, so we can have A SPAG BOL. or something else.

Conrad has bought my old laptop, as he has a girl starting in the office in Spain. He would insist on paying me 100 euros. We had already got our money sorted for our holiday. So no doubt Ros will find something to spend it on while shopping with Carolyn ;-) ;-) ;-)

Ros is doing a stir fry tonight, so only one more meal left for me to cook on Thursday. Then a week off :-D :-D :-D

How are you getting on with the machine Gill. ?? What have you made.??

Ann, I seemed to have lost my SPELL CHECK. How do I get it back PLEASE !!!

O Frank thats good you had another nice sleep and it sounds like you are quite refreshed for it today. Just two more sleeps before the off then. I hope you have a nice relaxing time in Tenariff (sp).

Morning all, Evening Kim,

Another GREAT nights sleep, and I got back in for an hour after a toilet trim.

Sorry to hear you are not up to the mark Jane. Are you sure Chris didn't dose you up, so you couldn't go to M K lol

Yes Mandy I sprinkle nutmeg on top, I also put a few drops of vanilla in the milk. To add a bit more flavour. I don't eat sweet things very often but Ros enjoys them.

I have printed off my tickets and Boarding Pass's. But not sure when I can print my return tickets. I might have to get John to do that while we are there.

Ros stood ironing for about FOUR HOURS last night. She also pressed all my shorts, and finished packing the main cases. Just toilet things and medicines to organise, and our little plastic bags.

Damp drab morning here.quite misty, so we have no plans to go out anywhere, apart from collection the scrips.

Morning all and evening Kim,

Anne I did laugh at the little rotten apples falling off! There would certainly be a lot falling off my tree. My gt grandfather was a blacksmith on my fathers side but also shoemakers, ag labs and many more occupations but the one occupation where many rotten apples woudl be is where I have a baby farmer on the tree.


The sky is cloudy in parts here but we also have sunshine so not a bad morning at present.

Trust everyone has their decs put away by now and is busy getting the house cleaned up.

Jane sorry to hear you had a dicky tum. I hope you feel much better today and perhaps ready for the pictures with Fitzy. What was the film?

Good Morning Everybody

Jane I hope your feeling up to going to the cinema. It's very foggy here as well which doesn't look good for the M3 and M4 motorways both very close to here.

We watched the Victorian Bakers last night and really enjoyed it, I don't have any bakers on my family tree, some fishermen, blacksmiths and shoemakers, a light house keeper, a few smugglers and one on my paternal grandmother's side who was the first official poliiceman in Eastbourne to name but a few. I also have a bigamist and a suicide in my direct line .Some one said to me once when you shake the tree there will be some rotten apples falling off :-| :-|

Morning All

Well we never did go to M K yesterday as I had been up and down all night with a tummy upset :-S.I don't know what caused that.It started about 3am.So i was feeling right wishy washy and basically spent the day lying down reading or watching tv.I dodn't even feel like turning on the pooter.
Now I am awake and feeling much better.Just had my first cuppa.I am suppsosed to be going to the cinema with Fitz at 12 here in Kettering.But I am not sure if I really fancy going .I will decide by 10 and then let him know one way or the other.

I must have a look through yesterdays posts and see what I missed.
I have just had a peek out he window and it is very thick fog !!!!

BBL

Evening all

All decorations are now stored back in the garage for another year, so have had a good tidy up today.

Mel I'm pleased to hear your gums are healing nicely, I saw you mentioned Honeywell in your post, their head office is located in Bracknell on the southern industrial estate.

I hated being 30 mainly I think because I had decided I didn't want anymore children after this age and I would have loved to have had a daughter but with Mark being such a handful, I didn't want to risk having another hyperactive child.

Frank it must be lovely for you being back home with your trip abroad to look forward to at the end of the week.

Jane your B.I.L nature reserve looks devastating with all that flood water, where is it?

No, Cas doesn't dig the garden, she just chases her dummy all over the
place and makes/gets into a dreadful mess in the flower/veg bed. She did bite the heads off our yellow daisies last summer, but hopefully this year she is a bit less destructive!!
Who knows Mel, that could be the reason, it is a bit of a pain through!!
Anyone going to watch the victorian bread baking program, we're quite looking forward to it!!

O forgot yto say the dentist said my gums are healing nicely and she adjusted my bottom set by taking a bit off one of the front ones so I can close my teeth together better now. she also took a bit off the outside at the back but they are still making my mouth at the side sore a bit. Next appointment is 11am 15th March and they are going to make me a new set of bottom teeth which I hope will fit around my existing teeth better than the set I have now.

Where's Gill today. Bet she's playing with her new machine. :-D :-) :-D :-) :-D

I wonder when they are going to take the baubles off the site. I bet they were the problem with having to sign in before Christmas. Perrhaps they are now taking them off Liz and thats why. :-S

Forgot to say before we went out the switch busted on the central heating so we had no hot water or heating. When oh went to Holsworthy I had rung a place to see if they had one of these Honeywell things and they had one left!! Were'nt we lucky as the first place oh tried had'nt got one at all. He fixed that first then the fencing. He is tired out now with all the running around he has done today.

Nice easy dinner tonight as he has a curry, nann bread, onion bargis and simosas and I have a roast beef dinner with a yorkshire pud.

Oh the little monkey ,has she chewed them or has she been digging them up !!

No Jane yet !! i hope there's been no words over choosing the new suite :-0

I keep having to sign it, wonder why, as it's getting a bit of a bore! Weather's been a lot better here today, so we've put a whole load of chain link round one of the flower beds to keep that little monkey off them, there are so many bare patches soon we won't have any flowers at all!! That should fox her!!!!
OH is watching the news, it's so awful I feel I can't bear to listen to it. These evil people God knows what anyone can do about it.

Evening all ,

A dreary day here with drizzle at times , hubby had a doctors appointment at 8-30 this morning so we had to set the alarm after that i did a little shopping ,just odd bits as we still have lots of things in the freezer .
Hubby also had a phone call about his knee, an appointment has been made for next Monday at Wymondham ,i think it's were i went with son when he had trouble with his back ,they are sending details in the post so we'll know more then , i suppose they will only have a look at the knee and then arrange another appointment for it to be cleaned out.

We have started another jigsaw as the other one had such a misty picture to go by ,this new one has much sharper pictures .

We had a hanging basket come down too Frank when we had those strong winds it was out the front of the house and the chains on the basket are broken.
I could just eat some nice creamy rice pudding , do you put nutmeg on the top ?

How did you get on at the dentists Mel ?
