Oi Oi Saveloys, how are we all today then.

I'm back from our childminding night. I went all prepared with my laptop, and then I couldn't get a connection.
What a bummer,all three grandaghters sitting there typing away on theirs,and me not able to join them.
Not one of them had the password for me to connect.

It's still blowing a gale here, and it's very cold outside. Roll on summer.

I seem to be on here the most today. see I am not that busy. well not now my desk is clear and I can find things right away.

I was going thought the net looking for St Marys Church wanted to find some things out about the Bells and found one of my early relations in 1551 they were all born in Devon. one had been a vicar at Ottery St Marys where my Great Grandmother had been born.
so I printed out the sheets all four of them. I am flowing along with my research.
I stopped as my Great Grandson Ryan wanted to speak to me. he 9 today and was given money from some of us he brought hiself a X Box and he was telling me little Charlie kept trying to snatch it off him. Charlies was shouting at him while he was on the phone to me . till my Granddaughter told him off. they are having a party for him. my daughter and son in law were on their way round. I bet it will be a noisey party.lol
I am glad I am here and not there.

Waitrose had their fresh chickens on special this week Marilyn otherwise I would not have brought one. I am not paying around £5 30 for a chicken just for me. this one was £3.50 and there is enough for three days.

I am so careful now when i shop the prices have gone sky high over what they could be even with the added tax.

Rita I cooked a chicken yesterday. I wish I got a bigger chicken because ther's isn't a lot of meat on this but it's enough for me.

I have been busy I have cleared my computer desk out three waste paper baskets of paper thrown out. and it is all clear now of the rubbish. the desk has been polished so I feel posh .
I have some typing to do in a few minutes. then I will be able to toss the other papers out.
.

A good morning to you all,
Rita so glad that Mike will be home on monday and hope his recovery continues, he must be making good progress if they are sending him home.
Marilyn I hope Pete enjoyed his birthday and eats plenty of cake today.
Maddie great to have you back, hope things are going better for you now,
Liz hope your OH had a nice day anyway, despite not getting cards from sons.
Very mild and calm here today, will take dog for a long walk this afternoon (knee permitting) and then curl up on sofa with a good book.
I am going to clean out bird cage and wash kitchen floor this morning and thats it !!
Hope everyone I haven't mentioned is well, back later,

Cath xx

Wroxham Broads Liz I feel a bit home sick now you have mentioned Wroxham Broads. memories.
You want to forget OH sons birthday they might remember next time
.I buy my cards the last day of the month for birthdays that are the next month.that way if I have forgotten someone I can go and get the card.

Morning everyone and Stephen I write a little list out in the morning of job I would LIKE to get done that day. if they dont they go on the next days.
To day I intend sorting my computer desk as I have so many files and papers stored about. so that is my urgent job for the day
. I have a large file clip full of PC magazine "How to get on with your Computer " which I had when I first had a computer brought the magazine every month.. I will take that to the charity shop in the week. it is like new.

The weather here although I have not been out is fair not cold but the sky is grey. and there is no wind so hope that it will be a nice day for all the
Anglers sitting at the side of the rivers and streams hoping to catch a big fish.

off now to have another cup of tea.and take my tablets.
see you all later.

Rita

Morning All !

(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?

Tea or Coffee

Porridge or Cereals, Fresh Fruit Juice,
Eggs, Bacon, Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Sausage, Hash Browns,Etc.
Toast and Morning Rolls.

Help Yourselves. It's on the Hotplate.

What a grand morning compared to yesterday. Flat calm and fairly mild.

I'm not putting a plan in place for today. Maybe then I'll get something positive done. I felt that yesterday was totally wasted.
Falling asleep is ok if it's to recharge the battery. I do that sometimes but only for around 15mins or so. Totally refreshed afterwards.
Perhaps my, not so young body, is trying to tell me something. ROFL.

Shelly.......Cleaning during the night !!!!!!!!!!!!

Catch you later.

Have a good day. Keep Safe , Keep Happy , Keep Smiling.

Hi all,

was my o.h.'s 57th birthday yesterday, what a surprise, both his sons forgot to send cards and of course, no pressies either! He was quite upset and told the one locally about it too, admittedly the son did phone and say Happy Birthday and apologised. He said his wife had reminded him several times but he still didn't get a card, have to remind him about those online ones that send the card out for you! Surely he could have found 5 mins to do that!
First time for a lot of years o.h. had to work, he usually takes a day off but his boss needed him in for some overtime to do an urgent job so he worked till 2pm and then came home to read his cards and open his few pressies - one from his dad and some from me! We went out to Wroxham on the Norfolk Broads and had a look round the department store there for some new trousers - it's a great shop with lots of bargains and interesting things and then I suggested we check out a local bar/restaurant where we used to eat occasionally. We joined the Diamond club for over 50s so you get discounts on your meals and because it was just after 6pm they weren't very busy so we got great service from a lovely waitress and the food was great.. He had curry and afterwards marmalade bread and butter pud (all home made not those synthetic desserts some places dish up) and I had the most enormous piece of chocolate fudge cake with icecream after stuffing a huge plate of meat, veg and yorkies from the carvery!
Came home and just got in when his sister put a card through the door, I caught her before she drove off in her new car and so she and her partner came in for a cuppa and a chat for half an hour. After they went o.h. fell asleep in the chair lol

Decimal Day was 15th February,1971, the day I started working at the Hotel Nelson, a brand new state of the art (at the time) hotel and restaurant by Norwich Railway Station. I had not long recovered from a broken relationship and moved back to Norwich and my Mum's so needed a new job and wanted a change from office work. it began over a year of hard work and fun, and making new friends, some of whom I am still in touch with these 40 years on.

Take care everyone, not much time to reply so often now but think of you all often

love
Lizxx

Hello anyone out there in the ether?

I know Shelly is a night owl.

Be back later to see if anyone is still up.

See ya.

Rita, I'd forgotten how big the 50p was originally. i don't like the 5p. It's too small.
Going to watch some of Match Of the Day now.

I still have two blue cards with the complete new decimal coinage on them and also a large collection of crowns like Churchill.. Queens anniversary the coronation . Diana and Charles wedding about 12 in all. they are in thick plastic cases.and of course I have a large collection of coins from before they changed . victorian among them. lots of little silver threepenny piecse we use to put in the Christmas pudding.

Marilyn John from DFHS emailed me this evening to tell me at the last meeting they deceided they would no longer send out membership cards..we still keep the same numbers we will still get the DFHS magazine;s I told him I didnt mind as long as I was still a member and got the magazine .
so thats good I know where I am now.

Rita

Night All.

Hi Patricia,

Decimal Coinage...........My dad always converted to old money right up to his death in 1981. I'm not paying 10/- for that he would say, looking at a price of 50p.

The biggest con to hit our economy.....and our pocvkets.

Yep ! Interest Rate........and for some reason it has stayed in my mind.....like you I never use it.
It's like a lot of Maths Formulae I have in my head.......never ever use it but it's in my brain and now and again I find myself doodling with numbers..
Like I said I'm nuts.

Tired...........I think I had got very chilled in the damp cold wind.

Now about to have my supper.
