Good afternoon All.

Just caught up with all the posts today.

Well who said weekends were for leisure.

Up early and went to get the shopping, and dragged it back in a shopping trolley. :-(

Went for a very slow walk with K. and the dog, got a few things posted.

Lunch. Then stood ironing for a couple of hours, washed my hair ready for work tomorrow. All that faffing about blow drying it. I am having it trimmed up again on Wednesday.

Done a few more bit and bobs, then looking forward to cooking dinner. :-P

We have a very good system K. and I. I dont ask him to cook, and he dont ask me to clean the cooker, shoes, or stick my hand down the loo to clean it. It seems to work. :-)

Hope everyone is well. See ya all later.

I thought arms forces day was yesterday they had alot going on for that.

Have your posts gone down. mine havd I only have 3003 on before today I had 3028, I wonder why.

Stephen thats not me.

my Estate Manager goes out and forgets to take her flat keys she must have asked me 10 times in the last year for help. I let her in to the lobby by safety phone and she calls the Anchor call for the code to open the cupboard that holds her key.
If she has a small window open she uses my window key to open her big window, and gets in that way. we are geared into safety here.

she is young I am old and up till now have not left my key in doors. maybe it is because I have a little notice i put on the inside of my flat door which has two words.
Keys and Windows. so I remember to make sure I have the keys and that all windows are closed.
lets hope now I have told you I dont lock myself out.

Thinking of you Jean.

Love Rita

A wee chuckle for the day !

I'm a Senior Citizen

I'm very good at telling stories......over and over again.

I'm the life and soul of the party.....even when it lasts as long as 8pm

I'm the first one to find the toilet wherever I go

I'm awake at least three hours before my body allows me to get up

I'm usually interested in getting home before I get to where I'm going

I'm anti everything, anti-smoking, anti-noise, anti-inflammatory

I'm wrinkled saggy and lumpy- and that's just my left leg

I keep in touch with my friends- through the Obituary Column

I'm smiling all the time-because I can't hear what you're saying

I'm a walking storeroom of knowledge- I've just lost the key to open it.


:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Marilyn I dont go on holiday till 9th July. I have a lot on before then. dentist monday. Scan on Wednesday. the my warfarin blood test, and blood preesure. then a trip out in a car which is run by The Rotary Club.a drive around Surrey Countryside and tea out.

Mike my son just emailed me to say the surgeon who did his major operation in January died he was only 50. Mike was shocked he said he was such a nice man as well.
Mike has a problem with his blood at the moment and has a job walking upstairs he is having blood test done next week. to see if they can find what is causing it ?
have a Charles Dance in my family tree. he is a great uncle by marriage on my motherside of the family.

My son is upset as he has to take blood pressure tablets he's only 45yr !!
He has just paid me a visit , and I told him not to worry loads of people are are blood pressure tablets , but he said I'm not over weight I eat good food nothing that would make me a prime suspect for Blood pressure tablets.oh dear you dont like to see your kids unhappy do you /
