General Chat

Pauline,

Thanks for the 'touch up' on the photo.

But that Linford Christie 'box' looks a bit out of place on me.

ROFL

Catherine,

HANGOVER.......is that when you grip on to the edge of a cliff with just your fingernails?

Good Morning everyone.

What a morning. I think a bit more snow has fallen overnight. We are not used to it here. Shock to the old system.

Where I live is on the corner, then there is a main road where they is a division of Councils. One side of the road, Camden, the other Islington. Funny isnt it. Islington is not as wealthy as Camden, but Islington salt all their roads, while Camden just dont bother. I slipped and slid all the way to Camden Town yesterday. It was quite strange yesterday when I came out of Sainsbugs. It was swirling so much, I couldnt see more than a couple of feet in front of me. [Sorry I havent gone metric yet]

I can sympathis with your husband Linda. Mum's birthday was 20th Dec. people used to sidle up with a present, and say 'this is for both your birthday AND Christmas'. SO unfair. I used to have to buy her card in October, as there were none in the shops in December. Do they think babies are not born in December. We all know there are plenty born in September, 9 months after Christmas. lol

Can Pauline send me the re-touched photos. I do like a bit of colour. If you wanna colour me sitting on the chair, that would be great. I was blonde, I have green eyes, the outfit was grey check with yellow trimmings.

Hope everyone is well and warm.
Take care

see you later.

Morning everyone,
another cold one here, rained all night, and snow showers now but too wet to stick. Airport is closed until 1 p.m so no papers this morning.
I dont have a hangover after last nights Christmas party,(steered clear of red wine) had a lovely meal and home before midnight like a good girl, lol.
Going to light the woodburner and have a lazy day.
Hope you are all safe, warm and well

Morning all
Well it is very white outside. But no more during the night.
Hopefully it gets no worse today. The family are supposed to come to celebrate hubby's birthday. No wonder he has an intense dilike of Christmas and the winter months. He has missed out so many times over the years.
ie Extra big presents to cover both occaisions NOT
Meals out frequently Christmas fare
Cancellations
People doing other things (more important)
I am only just begining to see these things from his point of view.

Mind you my birthday is usually around Easter, so do I miss anything, no luckily I don't think so.

Glad I could help on the flowers Rita.
The photo's are good Pauline.

Well have to tidy the house and lay the pulled out table ready for the hungry hoards !!

Have a good day and stay safe and in the warm everyone

Linda :o) XxX

Didn't get back till the wee sma hours. But had a great night with friends.

Caught up un all the gossip....sorry....no real scandal to tell you.

Temperature well down here -8C but, Joy of Joy, still no snow.

Have a good day ya all.

Catch you later.

EDIT......Morning Rita and Linda must have been typing up as you were posting....... hadn't noticed your earlier one.

I had to finish the last item on here as I lost all the top icon so had to do my magic to get them back.

I agree also about gay couples being treated the same. the only thing I have to disagree on . and I have always said the same thing when people own Hotels surely they are entittled to accept whoever they want to into that hotel?. I am fed up hearing do gooders saying what someone else should do.. many Hotel will not take groups of young men. because of causing trouble drinking and making a party in their rooms which disturbe their regular guests. Many Hotels try to do the best they can for guest who go to the same Hotel every year. I have been to Hotels where we had young men in rooms above us and we have had no sleep. Some Hotel will not take young children so there are many Hotels you can look around for and book into.

sorry if I have offended but that is the way I feel. (I have lost my gold star now. )
Rita

Hi Linda they were Baby Breaths

Shelly when they have travelling Vickers they often cannot get to the church .so they dont open the doors( some of the little villiges have shared vickers they travel around from church to church. as there is a lot of pilffering going on they lock the church doors until the service takes place then lock it again_. I dont know what they do in London ?

There is a little Church in Perivale Ealing it is a small church( my daughter married in there.I have the booklet somehwere ?all about it.)

They use to have to get to it by boat and the vicker rowed to the church they had little cubby holes for the lepers to sit at the service.


Rita

Stephen I was about to grass on you to Mrs Stephen when I saw the 'beached whale' bit, but then I saw ... "She has stood the test of time. Looks as young as ever to me. And I could never love a substitute the way I do her." and I thought ...ahhhhh, that's lovely.

Linda, I've had an under-active thyroid for about 5 years now, well, 5 years that I've known of. I take thyroxine to keep it in check.

Mo is like the rest of us ....................thick skinned.

Dermot, I'm with Shelly on that one, nobody has the right to judge a person because they are gay. We are what we are, be it straight, gay, disabled, black, white ..............it's the way we're born, God made us that way.

maddie you could nether offend mo cos she dances around her hand bag and weres white shose probley did have blond hair but sadly gone gray now LOL

OPS >>>>>>>RUNS>>>>>>STILL>>>>>>RUNNING>>>>>>>>>>

Dermot you have just got your warst night mear
cos ill debate with you lol

now were do i start
dus it matter if thay are a gay cuple cos were all serpost to be gods children

I'm going to bed now.
The same hotel you were talking about Dermot only allows married couples as well.

Is there any room on this thread for a heated debate?

Possible topic - 'male couple turned away from a Cornish hotel by the Christian owners'. (DM 18.12.10).

evening everyone

had loads of snow this afternoon, the horses are all tucked up in their stables with lots of hay to eat

have you seen the programme on tv about Essex, thinks it's on itv2. OH sometimes watches it, it's one of those 'reality' shows

pleased about your son in law, Rita, very good news

x

Maddie no offence was taken love,just pulling your leg. lol

It was the anniversary of my mum's passing on the 12th of december,and it will be mum in laws on the 27th.
We tend not to go to the crem very often these days, just have flowers at home for them by their photo's, as they were always comfortable in our home.

Stay warm and safe everyone.

Oh dear, sorry Mommy, no offence meant.

I could have been an Essex gel meself, if my Mum had agreed to move to Basildon when I was a kid. But, she wouldnt go. lol

We now have a frost coming down to make the snow even more icy. What a joy.

We were going to the Crem. today, but the snow put paid to that. It would have been Mums' birthday on Monday. But will try and get there next week sometime. Just as long as it is before Christmas, it will be fine.

Gonna do precisely nothing tonight. I got frozen stiff this morning.

See ya later.

Stephen
you are a braver man than me !!!
Take that any way you like.

Linda who is staying put at home until I absolutely have to go out

:o) XxX

Going out visiting now......a wee village a few miles away.

Hope the roads are clear there.

A few old cronnies, a bit of good chat, loads of laughs. Grand.

Night all....catch you tomorrow.

Linda,

Send Pauline a photo...she can work wonders.

I now have 'bits' where I never had them before. ROFL
