General Chat

I'm listening to an interesting programme on Radio 4. It's 40 years since decimilisation. I hadn't realsied that the penny nearly was goinh to be called a cent!
I was still at school. My 4s pocket money became 20p!
The rate of interest Stephen. i googled it. I don't do stuff like that.
You must have been tired stephen otherwise you wouldn't have dozed off.

What a lazy Git !

I have actually done nothing today apart from checking the oil and water levels in our cars and topping up the sreen wash bottles.

Then I SLEPT on the settee this afternoon.

We are now in a flat calm, no wind at all. Temperature up at 6C.

Just for Patricia.........PRT/100

That little formula is imprinted on my mind from donkeys years ago.
I'm nuts.

I thought Accountants were into Catering and good at Cooking the Books.

Tomorrow I will plan to do nothing then maybe I'll get something done.

Catch you later.

Wow Marilyn that's nice!
I sometimes wish I'd gone into catering instead of accountancy.
Cooking's a lot more useful. i don't even like cooking but I'd have learnt!

Hi Pat,


Just pork chops & new potatoes onions & mushrooms & peas & gravy.

Tomorrow is the feast of dinner at my Sons house. he's a brilliant cook a meal to die for, he lived with a cook before he got married....he was a male one !! and he taught him so much, then they both got married and the friendship stayed now they go to each others house for competition meals !!

Its bloody raining here and feels like winter has come back.glad I'm going away again soon ..

Dermot, The time to start worrying is when someone offers to give up their seat on the bus for you!

I was taught to respect my elders. It's just getting harder to find them.

Marilyn,
Are you cooking Pete his favourite meal?
Just listenimg to Radio 4. Some man reckoned that libraries are a thing of the past. Rubbish!

Hello Everyone...

Maddie so glad your all in one piece....or we think so !! Now just take it easy troubles will come and go ........ well they do in my house......

Pete was very pleased with all your comments for his birthday.....he just wanted to know where his presents were ...LOL

Stephen......... NO TREATS TONIGHT....got no sweets left !! LOL

Rita glad to see some good news I bet you cant wait to see Mike ?

I have just been looking at curtains.....ready made ones , but I think I'll make them as all the curtains seem to have them Silver rings in for poles !!

Just thought I need to spruce up my spare bedroom....got so many visitors coming this summer that it needs something new ..

Making Dinner ....or making a start ...

Good to see you back Maddie. We missed you honey.
Not long till the meet, ooooh it's getting exciting now.

Yvonne,putting the hoover round, whats that then, is it a cleaning implement.
I've only got my witches broom>>>>>>>>>>>>thats it all nice and clean now.

Pauline, Stephens telling porkies. He's not 21 till November.

My mam used to eat them Pat, very sweet and sticky.

Pleased to see you back Maddie, hope you're getting things sorted.

Yvonne, can you just nip over here when you've finished and run the hoover over my carpets as well?

Stephen, you're over 21? I didn't know that!!! I didn't think there was anyone over 21 on here.

Stephen,
I've just finished eating My Turkish Delight. It was the proper stuff. The Turkish Delight was covered with icing sugar.I got in a right mess!

Afternoon everyone,

The wind has gone down a good bit. Rain has stopped. But it is really chilly. I find the damp cold worse than really hard frost. Must be my age, now that I'm over 21.

Did go out to do some work but got fed up very quickly, not like me, and I'm now gonna pig out and watch telly.

No doubt my lazy negligence will jump up and bite me on the bum at some point.

Will catch you later.

Marilyn,

Wish Pete a Happy Birthday from me.......is he in for a 'special' treat tonight? He He He He !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I usually get a 'special' treat on mine.....Turkish Delight......my favourite sweetie.

Hi Maddie
Welcome back.
Wow Mike's coming home Monday.That's amazing Rita.
Going to watch Muder She Wrote in a minute!

Afternoon all

Happy Birthday to Pete, enjoy your cake and don't forget to save us a piece. Marilyn can send it down the cybher hatch

Maddie pleased to see you back

Rita good news about Mike

Just going to have something to eat then put hoover round

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PETE. TRA LA.

HELLO TO EVERYONE. I AM BACK.

Now there is a threat. Hope everyone is warm and well. I am still coughing. lol

Very mild here, although rather grey and miserable. Been to Sainsbugs for a few bits, battled home through Camden Market with all the young gels and guys, tattooed, spiky haired and weird and wonderful.

I have visions of Stephen flinging himself around the floor in gay abandon [definitely no pun intended] doing the Funky Chicken, the Hitchhike and the Mashed Potato.

Thank you all for your kind wishes, it is nothing I really want to discuss on an open forum such as this, where any old waif and stray can read its contents.

See Mike is doing well, Pete has an op coming up soon, and Linda is having a party.

Hope to be back later.

Maddie

There you go, it took me that long to read the thread and type my post.......... that Mo came and went.

Afternoon everyone, the wind has died down, we can walk outside without being blown away.

Stephen, you little groover you!! Pleased you had a good night though.

Where's Shelly?

Hi to everybody else........... Dermot, Pat, Jean, Cath, Yvonne, Sue, Lady, Liz. Did I remember all the names? There are so many now!!

I've given up on Marilyn's little man, he just doesn't want to show his face on the thread!!

Oooh Rita that is good news about Mike. I have got everything crossed for him. And that was not very good for me, when I tried to rush upstairs to the loo.

Marilyn, I hope Pete has a lovely birthday. Is this a special one for him,age wise.

Linda, enjoy the party, don't get to tiddly.

Stephen, I bet they didn't do the highland fling at the disco, or did they.

Hi Pat,and Cath.

What's happened to Jean today then. I hope she's not still in bed asleep.

No Pauline yet either.

Hi toShelly, Yvonne, Lady, Sue,Dermot.

Marilyn give my love to Pete and wish him a happy birthday. buy one candle with a number on not enough candles to set fire to the house. lol dont forget the balloon with a number on.

It has brighten here there is still a strong wind.out there.

I have so far had breakfast. remade the bed. had a shower and answered four emails now I am getting my chicken ready to go in the oven later on.

My sister as I told you went to read some Land deeds for our Road where we were born and she found that the land had been owned in 1802 by
Marchioness of Carmaven so our area had a welsh connection and our road was named after St George Gervis Meyrick. hence the Meyrick road.just shows you what you can do in research.

Now the good news My son Mike has just told me he will be out of hospital on Monday if things go as they are. he will have to take things very carefully as he has a lot of problems which was kept from me after the operation. but good news home.Monday.

Rita
