Patricia,

Will you not cause yourself eyestrain watching that ?

Rita,
Don't say that! i'm expecting to be better by Monday!
The one good thing about me cancelling my eye tet for tomorrow. I can now watch Leeds v Arsenal in the Cup!. i hope I feel ok to watch it.

I forgot to ask has anyone heard how our Jean is today ? I hope her daughter lets us know.

Rita

Pat I hope your be feeling better by tomorrow I know how you must be feeling I was ill for THREE weks and the doctor came in twice to see me. he said plenty of fluids and tea was on the top of the list.

Stephen thanks for the funny we need cheering up on here every now and again.
Pauline did you guess that shirt was blue ? I didnt think it showed on the photo I only noticed the buttons and realised it was St Mary Uniform not The Girls school I went to.

I see that they are going to close the baby swap on East Enders quickly as the BBC have been getting so many calls about it, it was suppose to drag out, but everyone had had a go at them.

Rita

To brighten your night........

A woman went to the Police to report her husband missing.

'He's 51 years old, six feet three inches tall, dark eyes, dark hair, athletic build, weighs 11st 7lbs, smartly dressed and softly spoken' she said.

Her friend protested....' He's 67 years old, five feet two inches, bald, overweight and a loud mouth scruff'.

'I know that' said the wife 'but who wants HIM back?'

Or we are cooking dinner Stephen, that causes a mass exodus from the thread. I know we women can multi-task but we are not that clever. lol

Pat get back into that bed and keep warm.

I wonder how Maddie is feeling today.

Patricia,

An empty thread usually means there's something on the telly.

Hope you're feeling better.

Evening everyone,
I hope Jean gets better soon.
I've come downstairs to get a cuppasoup then it'sback to bed x

Hmm, we've had insanity in this country for a long time now.

We got snow today, it's stopped now but it's still freezing.

I've been in all day and I haven't started the dinner yet, been messing about with a photo of our Rita when she was a school girl, I'll send it on later............I'm needed at the moment.

That was a surprising bit of news this evening - an MP being jailed for forgery.

Hard to imagine what would have happened to him if he did something really bad - like start a war resulting in loss of lives on all sides.

Vote for insanity.

Now you can see why I didnt pop in to see all you all. it was so strange I did this big write up and then it would not go and a noticed pop up to say it could not connect. yet I had 17 emailed this morning two from America no trouble at all.
Linda you are far better to have fresh lemon and honey in hot water it will do you the world of good. I hope you get over this flu quickly.some hang on for days and weeks.,
Mo you can see why you didnt hear from me.
Pauline I hope Brent gets over his operation soon I know he will miss his day centre. give him a hug from me
It isnt cold here I dont have the heating on yet. I did this morning but it went off at 10 and I have not had it on since.
I have been answering emails f rom family. my sister is sorting out a holiday for us for July (that is if when I get my next scan done things will be alright ?) we thought after all the humming and Ariring we would try a coach tour this time on the Isle of Wight, she has never been there I use to go in the late 1940 with a Wembley Football club and Tennis club a whole coach load of us went once there were two coaches.
so if we go by coach we wont have all the lugging of our cases,.
see you soon

Rita

Oh good heres our Rita, hi there my friend I was getting quite worried that we had not heard from you yet today.
Of to get my dinner now. See you later.

I tried to get on this morning and the site went down so I am going to do two lots incase they dont get through. First Susan I am sorry to hear about Jean I do hope she will be alright quickly she may have caught a cold. and it gone to her chest. she spent that night in the stable with the the horses while the two little ones where born. please give her my love.

Mo some parts of Cyprus have no internet connections my friends sister Ceila teaches scubba diving out there and has to go into Papos to get her emails from her sister who live near me.Celia lives just outside Papos..

we have had a monsoon to day well it seemed like it I have never seen such rain in one go.infact it was a miserable day grey skies

I am pleased you all are getting better. They did say if we had freezing weather it would kill all the bugs infact they seem to thrive on tt./

Rita

Linda I have never heard of that medication before, and I finished working in the pharmacy two years ago.
It's the same as Gee's cough linctus, that is very hard to get hold of now as well.

Dermot if our cricketers are as good at singing as our footballers, we wouldn't stand a chance in the Eurovision, not that we do any way.

Hi Stephen, it's the weekend again, so no work tomorrow.

Maddie enjoy your week of, and get yourself well again.

Still no Rita yet.

ABRACADABRA !

The magic word.........My wish is for you all to begin to feel better.

Now that we have won the Ashes in Australia after such a long time, perhaps this happy event will give our Eurovision entry a bit of encouragement.

Are the cricket lads any good at singing?

Hi Mo
It is just covonia for chesty cough that I have, it worked OK in the past relieving if not curing.
The one hubby saw iin the paper was Pulmo Bailey. I remeber it from when I was a dispenser for Boots in my youth. Goodness I left them 33years ago. I had worked for them for 9 years so it has been around for a long time.

I haven't been out it's too wet out there but at least it isn't cold enough for snow, which was a threat.

Sending healing wishes for Jean

Linda :o) XxX

I wonder where Rita is today, she has not popped in to see us yet.
I hope she is o.k.

((((((((((((((HUGS FOR JEAN)))))))))))))

Oh Pauline, I am so sorry, I forgot Brent was due to go into hospital yesterday. No wonder you wern't on here. I was geting ready to send out the search parties again.
Plenty of soft treats for Brent, like ice creams and jellies,etc.
I think that when my children were small, I was a worst child then all of them put together, I loved Blanchmange(sp) jellies, and trifles. And when we had birthday parties, I made sure I saved myself a bowl full of what ever was going.

Linda, dont worry about the tidying around, before your friends arrive, if you are still not feeling on top form.
I always tell my friends, that I am going to visit them, not on a house inspection.
What medicine is being advertised on the t.v. Is it the Covonia night medicine that you are taking, or just the normal Covonia?
There are just so many things that they advise you to take for chesty coughs,but if you are diabetic, there are limitations on what you can take.
I hope you get rid of it soon though love.

We don't have the rain Shelly, but everything is covered in frost and ice, it's very cold.
Another couple of days at home will give your son a chance to get his strength back.

Linda, Brent isn't well enough to go to the centre yet, the hospital said he has to stay in for another couple of days because he'll be prone to infection. Maybe you should stay in for another couple of days as well, but if you have to go out get well wrapped up.

Pat, try honey and lemon drinks for your throat.
