Morning everyone. an extra good morning to all of you with flu and coughs.not nice are they ? I seem to have got rid of mine I AM SAYING THAT AND HOPE I AM RIGHT ?

I had a late christmas present yesterday £30 of John Lewis vouchers.my nephew left them for me before he went home to USA.
He had already brought me a large box of Turkish Delight, one of my favourite sweets,

my decorations are all down now and boxed I have to put them back in the top of the wardrobe later on today. all that trouble getting them out and putting them up and taking them down, still it was worth it. made the christmas seem it was really here. otherwise one day is like another.

see you later

Most of the decorations are down, just the tree to finish.

Will catch up with all the postings later, looks like you,ve all been busy!!
Hope everyone is well,

Cath xx

Well what a performance that was.

I posted, then GR crashed as far as I was concerned. It has taken me all this time to get back on. Tosh.

Bought ANOTHER bottle of cough linctus today. I think I should just swig the bottle and have done with it.

Going boe boes now. Gonna put me bed socks on and Vick me nose.

Where has all the passion gone. lol

Night all.

With so many people expected to live so long, with six times more women than men predicted to reach one hundred years and beyond, how can we fund and provide in the future a decent standard of living & support facilities.

Work longer, I suppose - especially all those women!

(Should I leave the house now?)

Hello again,

Tonight it is very dark, overcast and raining, temperature up at 5C.

That should see more of the hard packed snow and Ice away. Thank goodness.

Hope all your coughs , sneezes and sniffles are disappering from those that have been suffering from them recently. They are a real pain to have.
You get more sympathy if you have a broken leg than if you have a cold.

Still haven't managed to have a walk in the hills yet......perhaps this weekend........fingers crossed. Want it to be clear and crisp.

Had to make a detour on the way home tonight the road was blocked in both directions for several miles due to a crash. The length of time that it has been closed usually indicates a fatallity. Hope not.

Time for shower and then supper. Then unwind by watching some Telly before heading for kip.

Catch you tomorrow.

Night all.

Good Evening All.

Hope everyone is well and warm.

I hope all the coughs have gone before the Meet, cos we will sound like a load of day evacuees from the Sanatorium. lol

Islington Poly. All my family come from that Area. They all lived within a couple of streets of each other.

Rather posh now. All the professional people have moved into that area. Upper Street is now a continuation of bistros. All the ladies who lunch sit there, outside in the pavement, getting polluted by the cars and lorries. gal.

I do love a good Panto. We always took the kids either to Hackney Empire or Wimbledon Theatre. They really got animated, and jumped up and down. They usually got picked to go up on the stage, cos their were the gobbiest there.

Getting very cold again. Frost coming down, said we may have a light dusting of snow by the end of the week.

Oh Joy.

See your laters.

I have had a nice day with my sister who came for the day. we searched for a good hotel in Western Supermare on the internet. after we had dinner. we found one hotel thought this has a good write up ?we found photos of broken window ledges. toilet seat and basin in bad condition and carpet torn to bits we realised someone was getting their own back .I cannot recall the hotel now. but we had a good laugh.
Linda I found out the Twyford Lodge was a workhouse it closed about 1921 I had forgotten my sister had worked at Park Royal Hospital as a volenteer nurse while she attened The catholic school in Harlesden.
I typed in the information for that thread but he appears not to have looked it.I gave him the information and where he can find what he needs to know about it.

I use to take my children to Panto I took them to the Olymipia ones as well as the palladium. they loved it. we use to pay 2/6 each. My daughter now treats all her family that includes 7 grandchildren to one at the Beck theatre and her bill costs £300. she said it is part of their christmas treat.
but there are about 14 go.,

Rita

I'm home but I've got bit of a cough and I'm shattered. Going to bed!

Good evening everyone.
Where are you all tonight. This is a lonely place without you all, boo hoo.
I dare say some of you are on your ways home from work.

Did Cath say she was back from her break away today or tomorrow, I can't remember.

I hope Marilyn is settled in after her flight, and has started to enjoy herslf.
Lucky girl getting away from this nasty old weather here.

I think I will go and get a cuppa, and hope that one of you is home soon.

Pauline, you've never been to a Panto, my word girl you don't know what you've missed.
"Oh yes she does, oh no she doesn't". I love to go with my grandchildren, but would go on my own if I had to.

So Jean are you still coming to the meet up in Victoria, I do hope so, as Maddie and Yvonne will be there as well as myself.

Shelly, get the little monkey up at the crack of dawn,and out the door before the pavements are dry. lol What day do you start back to work.

I've never been to a Panto, never really fancied it.

Don't work to hard Pat, speak to you tonight.

Afternoon everyone,
back at work! I'd much rather be going to a Panto Stephen!
No more hols for me until Easter!

Hi everybody, it seems bright today but cold.

Please don't send that snow up here Jean, we've only just got rid of the first lot that fell. We don't even have the heaps now ...............so we're doing better than you Stephen.
