Would you look at that, I've been struggling to get my post to submit and then it did it twice!!!

I was hoping the site would have settled down by now but ................. no it hasn't!!

Afternoon everyone................ well, if I'd left it a bit later - it would have been evening.

Maddie, hope you had a lovely day for your anniversary, do you buy each other prezzies? We don't, most of the time we don't even remember when it is.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 for Jean, hope the treatment does it's job and gets you fit and well again.

Mo, I'm so sorry to hear about your nephew, that poor lad has had a rough time. I'm shocked that his wife let him sleep so long, I'd have been calling an ambulance after 12 hours.

Linda, I'm sure it would help if you sat down and rested for a few hours instead of trying to do everything yourself. Sit down woman and put your feet up.

morning all been up a long time but only just put lappy on
the weather is not to great and im board board board

morning everyone I had my breakfast Cornflakes this morning. only I do love warm milk on them.
you all sound very busy with different projects and dinners. I dont get out that much now with so much illness in the family. we are all struggling to get well.or some just to recover.
That was why I was pleased to go away for a holiday.

My granddaughter emailed me last night a big email took the whole page up. bless her she is now getting excited about her wedding on 10th September The reception is being held in the Lord Bute Hotel it is right next door to Highcliffe Castle on the edge of the New Forest . the wedding is going to be at The Prior Christchurch in Dorset.
My sister and I are booked in at The Kings Hotel in Christchurch
we thought as we are going we might as well make a holiday out of it. so we will go Thursday and come back Tuesday. all I hope is that the weather will be kind to us.

Pat lovely Paris I have been about five times once only driving though and a short stop over, the first time we went I was surprsied at how small the rooms where we tried another place next time the room was nice but a bit noisey. we found we had to go on the edge of Paris to get the best accommadation I cannot recall the name of it now, but everytime we went we had good weather once it was so hot that all the parks were full of people trying to get cooler as some of those blocks of flats are so tall. and hot.

Think I will watch Heir Hunters now and enjoy my second cup of tea.

see you later
Rita

Morning all.

Good evening everyone, your holidays all sound exciting.
I,ve been polishing all day, the estate agent is coming on Friday, so I hope we sell quickly, if not the polishing will never end.
Hope you have a Romantic Anniversary Maddie, and sorry to hear about your nephew Mo, its so sad.
I love Christmas with the family, I just wish they were more inventive with my presents. I only get book voucher's, I must look like a book worm, infact I think with all my books I should open my own library.

Mo,
Why on earth, with the past medical history of your nephew,did his girlfriend wait so long?
Praying for his recovery.

Marilyn....it's certainly one way to get really moved :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Mrs Stephen has gone out on her voluntary work ......so I get to watch Time Team......for two hours :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I'll be feeling like a real couch potato after that :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Catch you tomorrow.......Night All <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Mo That is sad I am sorry to hear he is so ill again lets pray he comes through this quickly.

Marilyn my sister use to come over to see us on The Queen Mary when she lived in New York, she lived there for 11 years, and her children where born there. she was showing me some of the muenus she had kept when she travelled on that ship.

I also had a cousin Sue who married one of the "Arrival" the pop group singer they had a hit with the song " Friends " dont know if you recall that. one. Sadly Sue died a few years back. but my uncle and Aunt use to go to San Fransico four times a year and stay with Susan they loved it there.

chains links added for Jeniwren (Jean) ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Good night everyone sleep well.
God Bless.

Rita

Oh Mo .......... My god that does sound like a stroke how sad for his wife and baby.
I'll say a prayer for him Mo tonight when its all quiet in my bed.

Stevey ....you'll have to pray for me now ....don't want an earthquake on holiday do I ?

Linda....has your dizziness gone ? you seem to be taking chances plastering the walls !! , best not to do too much.

I'm preparing a dinner for tomorrow as my friends are coming at 12noon and I dont want to be cooking while they are here.

I'll be back later tomorrow night.. :-D

Good grief Linda, are you still decorating love. You never sit still for long do you honey.
Hows your daughters pregnancy going? is she well, or is she suffering from the dreaded morning sickness.

Maz, Christmas is not that far away, dontcha know, only five months to go.
I must have a look soon, to see what I have already bought for the grandchildren. The wardrobe is full with gifts, but I can't remeber what I have got so far.

You remeber my telling you about my nephew, the one who had the brain tumour.
Well he slept for 48 hours solid before his girlfriend started to worry, and phoned the doctor.
He was rushed into hospital, and they are not sure if he has got Meningitus, or if he has had a stroke.
He has lost the feeling down one side of his body, and his left arm is not responding at all.
The poor lad became a father a couple of months ago, and he has not worked since he had his major brain surgery.
Once again, the news came via my niece, and not my useless brother. Coo
I could smack him one, he makes me so cross, keeping me in the dark like this.

Enough of my problems, I hope you are all well.

Next week, is the start of Jeniwrens chemo treatment.
So could we all keep a chain of love and thoughts going for her.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Chain for Jeniwren.ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

San Fransico !!!!!

A trip down memory lane........

I was with a very good looking lady one night in San Fransico....we were getting on great.......so I told her I could make the earth move for her.....she slapped my face and walked off :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S

How was I to know she had just survived an earthquake ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Evening everyone
Well the weather is awful here. Dull, cool and keeps raining too. Summer came and went before the children even broke up here!! The grass looks OK though, but not much chance of getting it cut.
I am feeling a lot more steady, thank goodness and the fuzziness is less too.
Spent some time this morning fine plastering the bedroom walls so that I can paint them without too many lumps and bumps. Hubby rubbed down the gloss so need to undercoat tomorrow.
Spent this afternoon swapping the furniture around again. Hubby has bought a new CD player amp and speakers and we needed to swap some furniture to store it. Well I have done a lot of "spring" cleaning again and tried to get rid of some papers and unused items. So hard as I am a hoader and keep things just in case and because they are special to me. I do find it difficult to let go.
Hope you are all well and have a nice evening.

Linda :o) XxX
