General Chat

Thanks for that Pauline. I can be a bit of a scatter brain at times.
Did you have a good look at Marilyn's exercise video. Both of us have watched it twice now,and are wondering if it's really a woman or a man.
If it is a woman, she has got bulges in places where she shouldn't have.
Watch it again and see what you think. lol

LOL Mo, I looked twice at the 9 inches as well, wise minds think alike.

I think it's today that Jean gets her results, I'm sure she said the 6th of December.

Hello folks.
We still have thick fog here,and when we went shopping the snow started again, it has not laid thank goodness.

Stephen, I am glad you added the word "of snow,"after the nine inches, whew I nearly passed out, my mind went into overdrive. LOL
All this excercise will be building your biceps up, but doing your back in.
I hope you can sit down for a wee while this afternoon,and rest your weary bones.

Rita we were lucky on Saturday, when we went shopping, the supermarket had had their delivery arrive, and the staff were going ten to the dozen stacking the shelves. So we managed to get everything we needed. I got my take a break and chat, in case they ran out, I didn't want to be without them. Got to keep the mind active doing the crosswords and puzzles.

Linda, our postman has still not arrived today. The mail arrives at three-o-clock some days,and last week we had nothing from the Monday till the Saturday.

I am trying to remember, is it today, or tomorrow that Jean gets her results.
Ooooh I do hope and pray that it is good news.

Well our Marilyn should be on her way home by now, all being well. Make sure you look out of the window Linda, if there is a knock on your door. It could be Marilyn popping in for a cuppa. You might need to run the hoover round quickly, if little one has been a made a mess with the crafting bits.lol

Shelly, just to let you know, my runny nose has stopped,I have given it to somebody else. I don't know who they are,and I don't really care,as long as neither of us have got it .

I wonder if Maddie is on a late shift today, thats if she's managed to find her way there in the first place,in the fog. And then she has got the problems of finding her way back home again.

We seem to be going back in time, with our weather. Thick snow, fog that is starting to look like the smog of years ago. Remember when we could not see our hands in front of our faces,back in the 60's and 70's.
What we really want is the summers of years ago. Seasons that we could rely on as well.

Hi Pauline,Yvonne,Sue, Pat, Lady, Dermot and anyone I have forgotten to mention.

Afternoon Rita and Stephen
Well done on keeping your snow cleared Stephen I am so glad I live down south at the moment. It is just about at freezing here, but most of the snow has gone. Drove out to Reading to get more bits towards Christmas, managed a few. Then driving back down the M4 we ran into a couple of snow flurries just a few moments and hubby drove through it, thank goodness. It has been misty rather than foggy too. That keeps coming and going.
Early this morning the PO van came with a parcel, more of my Christmas gifts for the family, so glad they have come safely. His van was loaded even up to the front seat.
More cards came with the normal post and the rest was junk.
Little is sleeping now so I will have to get on

Linda :o) XxX

I forgo to say. I went into our local newsagents while out shopping . there was a queue. which went up one counter and down another till it reached the door. I went to put back the book I was going to buy then saw they had come frm the Post Office which is at the back of the shop no one was at the news agents counter. I told her I had been going to walk out without my book. . she told me it had been like that since 9 that morning. people were queuing for their pensions as well as posting mail abroad.

Rita

Stephen poor you with more snow. they showed the parts of Britian who would have more snow this morning on TV I didnt know where abouts you lived so hoped it was not your aera. are the postman still delievring to your part of Scotland ? I had mail deleivered this morning most was rubbish but I did have a letter and a Christmas card guess where the card came from ? Bervie in Scotland (near Montrose ) from my late mother in Laws sister Lizzie
I had to send some card up there on Saturday so wonder how long they would take to arrive. ?

I have been out and did some shopping I was surprised it was not as cold as I thought it would be ? . but there is still snow laying about and it had frozen over night so I walked with care didnt want to fall over. it took me half and hour for a 5 minute walk. I was shocked when I got into Waitrose the shelves were almost bare.six items I needed they didnt have.the manager said they were expecting the lorries today sometime.

Dont strain yourself with all the shoveling.

Rita.

Morning Folks,

Well still just morning.

SNOW.......I've had NINE INCHES of snow since 7.30am.

Guess who's been busy with a snow shovel.

Stopped for a wee break and a coffee......then it's back to the shovel.

Got to keep on the top of it or I will be snowed in.

On the positive side.....I need the exercise. ROFL.

Keep warm.....keep well.

Back later.

what can I add to make you all feel warm today NOTHING shame that.. it is freezing here. the ground is white. I want to go and do some shopping but think I will wait till about 11 before I go, by then people walking over the frosty bits will have melted it Lol.

I feel tired I went to be tired but I didnt get to sleep till 5 oclock this morning I even took a sleeping tablet I found in the medicine cupboard and that didnt work either.
I think i need a strong drink. I must look like death this morning. although John from flat 4 brought me a book up he didnt say anything. so perhaps I am not too bad.
Jean I hope you get the best results today. I do feel for you. I know what you are going through. I go through the same every three months. it is a real worry.
evryone have a good day.

Rita

Morning All.

Thick fog here in London, and very frosty. Lets hope it does affect Marilyn, Heathrow is just up the road.

Pauline is due more snow I think. I have never been very interested in the forecast maps on BBC, but I scan them morning and night now. lol

Hope Jean gets good news today.

Stephen, Mo, Rita,Linda and Shelly. Keep WARM. Patricia and Dermot seems to have got away with the snow. It is positively balmy down there.

See you all later.

Morning
I guess Marilyn is on her long trek home now.
Good morning everyone else
Ready for little when she arrives, more crafting today, though I have a bag of things she has already made.................. gifts, cards and decorations.

Have a good day everyone

Hope the tets go well Jean and the results are uplifting for you.

Linda :o) XxX

Marilyn, I can't believe you still haven't got those wind chimes for Shelly...............and it's 4 years she's been waiting not 3.

Just been sitting watching the exercise routine you do every morning, no wonder you're fit enough to go globe trotting all the time.

It's bitterly cold today, haven't checked the temperature yet but I went to put the bins out and everything is covered in a sheet of thick ice.

Can't see breakfast anywhere, Stephen must still be in the kitchen.

Good luck to Jean today.............fingers crossed for good results.

Shelly .

Gonna wrap ...(WHEN I get them Wind Chimes )...around your sweet little head !!! LOL

They have been on order for about 3yrs now and If I got them I would have to guess what number and road you live in..!!!!

Now If you leave me a secret place I will get your Bleeding Wind Charms and hope they chime all day & night .......... for years & years .......LOL

Shelley,
honey is meant to be good for a cold!
lucky you having done all your shopping. I've made a list!

Mo
Ann is out of the show. she looked shocked. but how could they put Scott last and put Gavin above him. I saw the faces of the judges they were happy to see Ann Go.
I was annoyed with the X Factor because that Cher is always in tears when she is one of the two left to sing it out. how can she stand there like that with a sulky expression on her face,.
Dad wrote his book and I found all his writing in a box when I was staying with my sister. and looking for a photo that I thought she had.of myself and my Dad, , he took me to Brooklyn races with my uncle Frank .who use to test drive police cars. till he went onto the Thames police boats.I think he was an inspector I know he appeared in one of the books about the Thames Police .
I found the papers and asked my sister if they were Dads as he told me he was writting about his life ? .she said they were in the box. when she cleared the house out (I was still living in Norfolk then Dad died aged 92.)_ so I started to read them and said lets take half each and type them out. this we did.. then my sister said she would like to get it printed in memory of our dad. so she edited it .and then had it printed so my name is not on the book but Sheila's is..she paid for the printing as well and she gave me some for the family, as I am older than she is (she is the clever one)I recall things and know the family she is not close to.she wanted to put my name on the book as well but I said no. she did the editing and paid for the book to be printed. as I said it is now in all the main universities. which include Scotland. Wales and Ireland. Oxford Cambridge and London ,
Mainly because he goes into to great details of the work he did in the Aircraft factory during the war. and the building industry he was a master builder so he describes the old ways they did building. and of course his llfe as a boy growing up in a poor family.in 1908 onwards.

Mine is my own life story from 1931 onwards. I have about 500 pages written out ready to type and then edit.
