morning all
nice and brisk this morning the weather I am speaking about Jack Frost came with a vengance last night while I was tucked up in my warm bed.

The photos are lovely Stephen. I pictured you like that in youir portrait. as my Grandmother would say a true good looking Scot.

I like the photo of your wedding.your wife is very lovely.and you of course.
The last time I played snow angels was 2003 the trouble was I needed help to get up again . my grandchildren and Great Grandchildren still do that play snow angels. we are all a lot of fools in my family. you would think the first thing to do would be build a snow man but that comes second on their list.

well ladies I hope you are all going to have a good day today. not get too cold if you have to go out.
I wonder how Linda is in Bath on her Christmas shopping spree.? I am looking forward to going there next year
if my sister and I go to Western Super Mare.for a week.
Pauline I am pleased you were having your bath before you ate. because it is not good swimming on a full tummy .

Rita

nanny ada use to make some of my dressis she to was a dress maker that seem to been past down from from her family and my mum use to knitt my jumpers and cardgans

Hi Girls

you are so much younger than I am so you are girls to me.

I hope you have all had a good day ?.it has suddenly got very cold here. I am having my Horlicks right now before I go to bed. I am not tired , just cold and there is nothing to keep me up.
Hurry up and send me that photo of our Stephen I might feel warmer. Lol
I thought the large hat was our Shelly what made me think that. ? I printed all the photo's out you have been sending me on good quality printing paper and have written little bits about you under your photo, so I know more about you and I am making it into a book. so I will be able to put Stephens in as well now.

I have told my daughter she must get help I am sure she will not leave it too long , as she has her husband to look after, as well and does not want to end up in a hospital.
My G Granddaughter has these funny ideas bless her little heart she is such a sensitive child, she reads a lot and sometimes seem not to realise the difference between fact and fiction.
like her Mum she has spent so much time in hospitals it is like having two homes for her. she is so brave though for a little girl.
I thought all Sailors knitted Stephen. my Uncle leanred to knit it use to amuse me when he came home and brought his knitting with him

Rita

nite nite sleep tight.

Maddie,

I've always been a knitter...........sorry..........that should read 'nutter'.

Wait for it........................

I have sent a couple of photos of what i USED TO look like.

Marilyn and Pauline will circulate them to those they have email addresses for.

Have a good laugh.

Hi All,

Been Shopping ...
Bought some glitzy earrings ...what for ?..... I don't know ..LOL.

Now back for a chilled beer.

Now where's our birthday boy ? suppose he's getting traumatized about being a year older .....never mind Stephen we all go through it !!

Maddie I loved your photo of you as a little one , you must have been rich to have a matching bonnet ......I only had a pom pom hat that my Granny knitted in all different colours, as she said it goes with anything that you wear...LOL
Also had socks knitted with 3 needle's remember those ? my grandma was very clever she would knit all day long for us and when I was 16yrs she knitted me a .............WAIT FOR IT ...........a LIME green jumper and my sister a shocking PINK one ..So now you know how the colour lime green stuck ..LOL

Hope you are all nice and warm back there.

Dermot, the grandchildren have a lot to answer to. When we are with them,we seem to adopt their way of talking, not good I know,as we being the elders should correct them.

As Shelly has said, back in the swinging sixties,and early seventies,we had our own way of speaking,and it was done to annoy and bewilder the parents at the time. We felt oh so cool, but sounded stupid at times.
When the word hip was used, my parents thought that friends had problems in that particular area.

LOL dermot its called street talk

now you must of had words that you use to say when you was a kid so you should do what me and hubby dus and use these word to confused the younger generashion

It must be my old age and/or senility because I hear youngsters speaking an alien language these days which I fail to understand.

Maddie, it seems that the chairs were a definate prop for photographers
years ago.
I loved the pic, but where was your doll. I had one in my photo, I must have been playing up that day. Norty norty me.

I have just watched Ann Widdy dancing to the music from titanic. Oh my god, why couldn't she have hit the iceberg and sunk. I bet she gets through yet again. booo booo get her out.

so what is the birthday boy up to this evening

pauline i would but there is to many to give them names and i dont think i would get eny one asking for them lol

Going for my bath now, then having dinner.

Keep warm everybody.

Put them on your gravestone thread Shelly.

O dear i just cremated the skinny chips LOL
daughter said there well dead

I love wine gums as well Mo, can't stop eating them once I start.

Shelly, there you are, where've you been?

Hic hic, Hi Pauline,I lurve wine gums, but they don't like my teeth, they keep pushing them out of my gums.

rita 9 yr old family should no be in truble for being off school for medical resion thay should ask hospital DR for a letter or their own DR and make a copy and send it in to the school and the schools welfear officer ether way a letter should cover them one of my sister in law use to have to do this for one of there children as thay was in and out of hospital

Rita, we've only got one photo of Yvonne so far but I'll sent it to you again.

The one with the big hat and long dress is Linda.

Rita, it sounds like Rita J's foot is really bad, if it doesn't get any better she'll have to call the doctor out. The only other thing would be to get a taxi to a walk-in centre.

I don't think Megan needs to worry about missing school, she won't get into trouble for being ill.

Maddie, that photo was great, you looked lovely - so sweet ............and posh, with your matching dress, coat and bonnet.

Yvonne, I hope your OH gets the chance to have Boxing Day off as well as Christmas Day.

And you know what Mo's like, a wine gum and a glass of water is enough to make her legless.

Where's Shelly and Marilyn today?

Hope the birthday boy is having a good day.
