Evening all,
its been a gorgeous day. Too hot for the beach so took little uns to the park instead where theres plenty of space to run wild among the trees and not get sunburned. I'm shattered now :-D
Going to Jersey for a day trip tomorrow so up early for the ferry :-( Musn't complain it's a freebie courtesy of my brother and his wife. The friends they were going with can't make it. The shops are better in Jersey, more choice and more uk stores than we have here so I must behave myself and not get carried away with OH's credit card.
Jean hope you feel a lot better very soon, thinking of you. <3
Agatha have a great time at the caravan.
Hope everyone has a good weekend,

Cath xx

Yes Marilyn, I got that...... pity they didn't find a place they could have rented for a longer period. Renting is very expensive, I hope it isn't eating away at the profit they made.

The plumber has just been, he couldn't fix the pipe, so the heating system will have to be drained down again so he can put a new bit on. It was only drained down yesterday..... but I hadn't told him about that little problem, he's not pleased with me.

He's coming back next week to do it, I'll be out most of the week, so it'll have to wait until Friday.

Don't think hubby's going to be pleased with me either, when he finds out. :-( :-( :-(

Hi Pauline.....Long story ..LOL

They sold one house banked the money as it was a good sell then rented in order to find a bigger better house, up until now they have seen a property that they want to buy but is haggling with the price with the vendor at the moment....... BUT the property they were renting came to an end last Friday as the owners were coming back from abroad . they then had to find another property to rent until this haggling ceases ......so on Monday they have the new rental :-S
But I wish they would find another property soon for the kids sake they don't know where they live half the time :-S

So that's why they took this holiday to fill the gap !!

Now did you understand all that ? LOL

Still washing sheets sheets sheets ........

Morning all, I'm sitting here waiting for the plumber again.......... got a bit of water coming from a joint in a pipe. I hate waiting for people to come when I don't know exactly what time they'll be here.

Marilyn, does your son rent his house while he's away or is he moving into a new one?

No good me doing your bedding for you Rita, looks like it's going to rain here.

Hope you have good weather at the caravan Agatha.

Stephen, you're right, as we get older we realize that the people around us are the people we want around us.

Pat, that's a good quality to have. I'm not self-contained, but I have a lot of patience, which I think is a God-given gift - that I need for my son............... stops me from strangling him. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Hope the weather is nice or you Agatha. I just logged on to check my emails, then thought I have to go to the GR site to see if anyone was about. and behold there were. the sky is still grey very dismal. I was just going across the road to post some birthday cards for early next week and the old gent up stairs said I will do it for you I am going shopping. so that was a good saving of my legs his are older than mine.
Then I was taking some books up to an elderly lady who cannot get out and someone said she would give them to Lily. so that was another job done for me. anyone want to change my bed linen your very welcome.

A hot brekky please Jean! :-D
Your saying is so true Stephen and our future is planned.
Like you said fate is meant to be and I'm sure that people are given gifts and personalities to cope with whatever situation.I remember back in 1992 when my husband and I split up I was told one of the good things was that I was a self-contained person.
Have a nice day everyone.

Morning everyone, hope you had a restful night.
A bit cloudy here, but still warm, hope the sun breaks through later.
Not feeling too good today, but hopefully will feel better as the day goes on.
Well the last of the schools in this area break up today for 6 weeks,
that means our road will be almost traffic free, it isn't a main road, just a quiet side road, but so many parents doing the school run use it we could do with a 'lollypop' lady. [or man]
Breakfast,
Cereal or fruit,
Eggs, bacon, pork and apple sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes.
Toast or hot rolls.
Tea, coffee or juice.
Hope you all have a great weekend,
Take care and stay safe.
Jean xx

I hope Jean your not feeling too bad after your treatment yesterday.

Morning All.

Cloudy one again, Bore, bore, bore.

Rita, Hip Hop is American. It is raw, it is bad, it is getting down with the kids. It is singers with lots of bling and scantily clad ladies. Do you have Freeview? Go onto Channels 18 or 21, and you will see that kind of music.

confused? Yep, me too. Lol.

00000000000000000000000000000000000 for Jean.

Hope everyone else is happy and well.

See ya later.

Morning all,
cloudy and dull down here at the moment but supposed to be a scorcher this afternoon :-D
Had a big problem with flying ants yesterday, they were everywhere, had to shut the windows and turn fans on to keep cool :-P :-P :-P
Jean, hope your treatment was alright yesterday <3
Pat, I'm a bookworm too. Ever since I was little I have always loved to read and get stuck into a good book.
Who wants a toy boy? Not me, :-S Takes long enough to knock a mature one into shape ;-)
Shopping this morning -sigh- and then taking the little uns to the beach this afternoon.
