Hi everyone. you all seem to have had a good chat on here this evening.
Cath how did you manage to get that photo from Ancestry of your Great Grandfather. ?

The Time and Place.

How lucky you are to do what you want
To eat what you like, go where you want
you can stay in bed till 9 or 10
These words I heard from my married friends.

How Lucky say I as I rub my head.
Your lucky to have someone to share your bed.
To cuddle up close to on a cold wintery night
To hug and to kiss when things go just right.

My place I would gadly change with you.
be grateful for the things that you do
dont take for granted all that you have
Just understand and just be glad
for what you've got I once had.

I wrote this just after I lost my husband ,

Evening all,
like Pauline I am going up in my tree again. I have today found a photo of my GGgrandfather on Ancestry and I'm so excited :-D :-D :-D He Is in some kind of uniform but I haven't a clue what it is (he was born in Somerset, married in Guernsey and lived in Australia) so might need some help in identifying it, he was born in 1834 and died 1877. Also a photo of his son in law in a uniform wearing a kilt and a big hat ;-) might need Steveys help with that one :-)

Shelly you did well with your pressies, hope there is some cake coming my way :-D

Pauline.

Training starts very early in married life ..LOL

Its too late now, my whip worked overtime...

The only thing Pete will not do is make the bed ......why I don't know , mind he has no idea as to fold over sheets at the top of the bed,

Mind you he would be just as comfy in a sleeping bag on a mattress , in fact if any thing happened to me that's where he would sleep . as he hasn't a clue when I change the sheets .......

I really could do with a footstool.

Mrs Stephen has taken to wearing the Kneepads I use for tiling or carpeting the floors.

I have tried putting a layer of foam on her back but she says that is still not comfortable enough.

It is essential I keep my feet up and her back is just at the right level when she kneels down on all fours :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Oh, poor Jean, that's awful news.

Jean, you're in my prayers, stay strong.

I'm stuck up my tree again........... I've got loads of new info to put on.

Shelly, things are looking up, a couple of years ago you didn't even get a card. It's about time they showed you how important you are.

Marilyn, Pete needed someone to spend his money - that's why he picked you.
You needed some money to spend - that's why you picked him. :-D :-D :-D :-D

Maddie, I bet Mrs Stephen wouldn't bow down at Stephens feet, coooo pongy feet.
Behave Stevie, or we will have to have a word with her indoors.

Rita my glass in in the cyber hatch, for my share of the wine. It will go down a treat with the piece of cake from Shelly.

Have a lovely weekend Linda. Fingers crossed that the weather holds for you.

Darts tonight for me,so I will see you all tomorrow. byeee
