I am back took the perscription to the Doctors collect the tablets on Friday. I went into the chemist as I had to get a bottle sample needed next week for the hospital. went into the paper shop got my Chat and Take a Break and a file for some of Dads old papers. then took two bags of books into the Charity shop they said we missed you everyone was saying where is the BOOK LADY. that is because I take books into them nearly everyweek. while there I saw a great big cuddly King Charles Spaniel dog he is beautiful so I brought him for myself £3 he is sitting in a wicker dogs basket with a little friend a small terrier I made about 30 years ago,. so he has company now (I must be going mad or back to my childhood )
I could not resist him I love dogs alway had them but your not allowed anilmals here so I got stuffed one ho ho.

I am going to try and sort some of these files out this afternoon. but it is such a beautiful day out the sun is shining and I have all my windows open getting the fresh air and it is a day that makes you want to walk around with a smile on your face.

Hi girls.
I am sorry the lead was no good Rita. But you never know one off these days,he may pop out off the woodwork,and scare the daylights out off you.
Shelly is such a stubborn so and so Pauline,I said to her before to put some off her questions on here,and that we would help her if we could.
It would seem that most off the country,is enjoying a bit off sun shine today.
It is so pleasant here today,it makes me feel like getting out in the garden to do a bit off tidying up. But I dont think I will be doing that just yet,as it's still so muddy.

Hmm, we didn't get any sunshine today, but the rain stopped and it got a bit warmer.

Mo, I think Shelly thinks we'll give her the wrong answers, she doesn't trust us!

Rita, you could use that as a new board name.......The Book Lady. Your spaniel sounds cute, ahh.

Linda, you should be a lot lighter now with all the blood you've had taken out of you lately.

well all the photos and pages are in Dads book now all finished well my end is my sister had the worse job she has to sort out the photos for the pages and tell the printers where they go etc etc.so I hope it does not go over the original price or we might have to think twice. .
I can now do mine again in my spare time (if I get any )
I have written all my letters ready for posting so I have kept very busy I am tried now.

it is still rather warm here I do hope we get a good day tomorrow like today it cheers you up.

Pauline I reckon you could be right,that Shelly doesn't trust us. Mind you
rulings have changed since I did my fostering,but Linda should be well up to date.
Rita,do you gift aid your books to the charity shop. I do,that way they get to keep more off the donations.
My friend will be so jealous off you Rita,she loves miniature king charles spaniels. She had two for many years,and when they died she would not replace them,as she had got so fond of them,and dreaded losing any more. She has got lots of china dogs now,she says that they are cheaper to keep. lol

Mo I take a bag of books into the Hospice shop nearly ever week. a friend a few door up from me has Mills and Boon books deleivered every two weeks.she reads them and passes them onto me 12 at a time and I read them in bed at night as I dont sleep well then I take them to the charity shop sometimes I take them into our laundry room and put them in the books case so people can read them when I do that I take out the books that have been there a month or more and take them over to the charity shop I have always been a big book reader and had three hugh book shelves when I lived in Norfolk hard backed ones when I mved here I had not got room for them all so I took them across that was when i got nick named The BOOK LADY

Hi Sue, I thought you must have been ironing for England, it's been that long since I saw your name on here. Has all your snow gone now?

Rita, I won a free cut and blow-dry (from local hairdresser) in a charity raffle, if you lived a bit nearer to me you could have used it to get your hair done.

Linda, how are you feeling today?

Mo, Shelly is just ignoring our offer, I'm sure she would have been able to get an A* if we'd helped.

Marilyn, are you stuck up someone's tree?

Hi all.
Well done Shelly on finishing the bedroom. You are like speedy gonzales
when you get going. Do the kids like the room now that it's finished.
I hope you had a good day with the littlie Linda. Has she settled down now
Good to hear from you Sue. Thank god the snow has gone now.
Pauline,I could not win an argument,let alone a raffle prize. lol
Rita wait till the weather is a bit better,before going out to get your hair cut.
It's not worth getting soaked,and catching a cold. We dont mind if your hair is a bit untidy. Says the person who gets up each morning looking like a scarecrow.
It's nice to see you are having a relaxing time Marilyn. When are you due to come home.?
No news from Lady or Yvonne.

Mo
My hair is down to my shoulders now and the bit at the front stands up ready to take a salute. you know those Twins Edward and John well I have that quiff too. It is driving me up the wall.
I have so much to do now I am trying to do my Autobiogrphy as well as getting my trees up to date I also need to write some more up in the files of the family trees.
Next week I have hospital on 28th and again on 29th Hospital at Guildford my scan. then 9th I have to see my cosultant about the scan at Guildford.
so I am getting myself uptight on all this. I keep say keep calm but it is easy to say not good to do.
.
I suppose you have been having an easy day ?????? Shelly has stiff arms from that paint brush Marilyn is tan and we wont know her when she gets home Linda is busy as usual. Pauline is busy emailing all her funnies.I dont know what our Sue is up too or Yvonne or Lady

LOL Rita, I've got a mental image of you with Jedward quiff.

We'll all be thinking of you when you go for your scan, hope it's good news. You've been taking your medication so I'm sure there'll be some improvement.
