Evening one and all, whoever they are.
Had a busy day today and not much time for me! Hope you all had a nice day whatever you were doing.
Rita sounds like you need a hot toddy, I'm sure Stephen could part with a drop of whiskey for it.
Did a little on my tree (about half an hour) and found a missing ancestor. Its funny how sometimes I can spend hours looking without success and other times a quick search leads to something valuable. Have all but given up on Irish side for now, concentrating on Guernsey family who turn out to be from Somerset. No wonder I like cider!! Mind you I'm partial to a Guinness as well, I blame the genes.
((hugs)) for Rita,

'Strong language' is the euphemism used by radio & TV when they want to treat us to a bout of swearing.

When it happens outside this remit, the same words are referred to as being 'obscenities'. Thankfully not seen on this thread.

Oh, the vagaries of the English language.

Phew, what all this pong, it's quite nice though. Ooops it's Rita's disinfectant.
I hope you feel better tomorrow Rita ((((((((HUGS ))))))))

Don't forget it's the results tonight on Strictly Rita, don't fall asleep before they come on. Two are to go tonight. Gavin should go, but not sure who else.

I thought I would have a guick look in and nobody is about. I am going to have a cup of tea now. sitting here coughing away (coffin ) I dont want to give it to any of you.. I feel real poorly.

so hope you all have a good evening, I have just sprayed some disinfectant on here so you do not fall for this cold..

I might pop in later if I am still awake.

Rita

Good evening one and all.

Dermot, fresh air is good for you.

I've been good Pat,all my cards are written and sent. All they've got to do now is arrive at there destinations.

Stephen, sit yoursen down, your back must be breaking now, with all that lifting.

Hi everyone,
I was writing my Christmas cards.I've just taken a break!

It's against my religious belief to 'work' on Sundays.

It appears that the Government does not want me work any other day of the week either. Never mind - I can live on fresh air.

I'm back froma hard days work........and what do I get........NOTHING

All alone on this 'Friendly Thread'.

WHERE IS EVERYONE ?

Well the slate is cut and now in place.......it will still be there in a 100 years.

What a weight........ must be nearly 4 cwt

Took Mrs Stephen all her time to carry it.. I made sure she didn't slip on the snow and ice and damage the slate. ROFL

Having a coffee and a wee relax now.

Catch you later............if anyone turns up.

Pauline I was thinking the same I have been reading back and forgot what this lot was on about. nothing rude turned up thank goodness. the mention of the T word.which someone left behind in that taxi didnt arise
I had to go to bed earlier last night I felt so bad. coughing sneezing I had a nose bleed as well I dont know how many Paracetmals I took but I finially went out for the count. woke at 7. and thought it was monday and it being wash day. was I releived to see it was Sunday instead.
I cannot recall who started this cold I think it was that Shelly.

You'll have seen it before, it's often on the telly.

I'm definitely going to write my cards out today (well, sometime today), so can I have PMs with addresses please?

I've only got 4 addresses so far.

Good Morning everyone.

Hope we are all well and warm.

I have been trying for 40 minutes to get onto this Site. Some gremlins are up early too it seems.

Work today, then finish putting up the Chrissy decorations. I do the stuff at ground level, and Kevin climbs ladders. Sounds ok to me. lol

See you all later.

Morning all, dry and dull here this morning but not too cold.
Stephen seems like you will be busy today but I'm sure your daughter will be keeping you supplied with tea/coffee and maybe a drop of 'Malt' while you work.
Linda my OH is always moaning about piles of books all over the house,but like you I find it hard to get rid of them.
I really must catch up with some housework before the tribe of children/grandchildren turn up expecting lunch.

Cath xx

Morning Stephen and all others as you join
Sounds like a lot of work today for you.
I have to refil the bureau today. Carried it down to the hall from upstairs, but I need to go through some of the papers, bet I put them all back !!!! and sort some books try to pass some on I hate getting rid of books but how many can you keep? Hubby doesn't read so he won't mind but he doesn't understand why I keep them either.

Have a good day

Linda :o) XxX

Morning All

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

Hash Browns, Black Pudding, Etc. Toast or Breakfast Rolls.

Heading off soon. Going to cut and fit a HUGE piece of slate for the hearth of the fireplace in daughters lounge. Why the 'H' did the Victorians need to have such big fireplaces. Santa certainy couldn't get stuck up this chimmney.

Get this job done today.....and that will let me fit a Woodburning stove next week.

Reminds me of a song......'And it all makes work for the working man to do'

Catch you later.........

Its only a T shirt nothing to fret about , its probably one of his old ones that he wore with his kilt all worn out !! ....Cath will surely send it back ....Soooon.

Too many baddies out there.

I'm off to beddy bye's now ......eyes are closing rapidly .
So Nite Nite everyone ....sweet dreams ....

The Boy stood on the burning deck,
when all around had fled,

What an Idiot !

Looks like it's time to turn my 5 Watt Christmas Light off.

It's been a funny old day but I'm really pleased to have been alive to enjoy it.

Night all.

See you for breakfast....God willing.

Hello Truffilina. How choccy sounding you are.

No not bored. A bit overtired I grant you.

Stephen was gonna give me the low down on my two pet fancies of the moment, but he went and bottled it.

I thought he was a bit brave Scot, wearing a kilt and tossing cabers etc. but no, he ducked out at the last moment.

anyway, hope my little poems were of a smileable quality.

I gonna take my bat and ball now, and going off for a sulk.

Night night All.

Sweet dreams.

'walks off sulking, trailing my bat, muttering 'why did Stephen send a t shirt to Cath and not me' sobs.

STEPHEN...

Got everything...........more than you can ever imagine ..LOL
things that Scotland has never even heard of ...!!!!!!!
Now I bet your gobbed smacked .......LOL

Maddie thanks my lovely for your Card and E-mails loved them.

HOOVER !

I hate that word........Stephen starts to shake and tremble...............

Trufflina,

Have you got Fishnet stockings and long black boots to go with the whip ?

We could finish the session off with 'lashings' of drink ROFL
