No.....I'm here !

Waiting on an answer to my question.............

What are you lot up to ?

Got a wedding photo....will need to find someone to scan it.

You've all gone and left me haven't you?

Dermot, have you managed to get us all an invite to the wedding then?



Yvonne, how did you manage to get your name back?

Rita, I can't believe that woman, what exactly does she do for her wages?

Stephen, that was a strange conversation between you and Marilyn yesterday (the Niagara thing). Still haven't figured out if any of you were taking the tablets or not.............lol

Linda, loved the invite..........when do we go? I'm up for it!!

Mo you can have the room with the round bed, I'll have the one with the striped bedding. Pity Marilyn will still be away, she'll miss out.

Oh Linda, you've just reminded me, I must sort out my cards for Canada and France.

Stephen have you sorted a photo out yet? We want one of your wedding and one of you in your kilt.

Maddie, all the photos of my first wedding were in black and white, colour was too expensive in those days...........God I must be old.

What about you Shelly, do you have any photos of your wedding?

I remember you decided to get married and booked it all up before you bothered to tell him...........LOL

Rita,

Wish I lived a lot closer to you. Help would be at hand anytime.
What a pain in the rear end that woman must be.

Come on you lot....what are you up to ?

I've been in the loft and now have all the Christmas decorations down.

Mrs Stephen will do her usual great job of decorating the tree and house.

I'm always on hand to shout encouragement. ROFL

I dont think it would make any difference Male or Female. people dont want to help the elderly in this company they like MONEY and the elderly come way down the list. we pay their wages their rents on flats there holidays and stamp NI. next we will be paying for their petrol and road Tax and insurance money.
you can see I have no time for them now. I am going to have a word with age concern and see what they come up with.?

William and Kate came up with their wedding date making it Friday 29th April as they wanted the people to have a public holiday so there will be holidays close together. the 25th April being Easter . 29th The Royal Wedding and 2nd May early bank holiday.which I think is called Mayday ?

Rita

Shelly, knowing our Rita,she would charm a man into changing her light bulb. She's such a smoothie is our Rita,she'd make him feel at home with a nice cuppa tea and a scone.Then he would do anything for her. LOL

evening all

its very cold out side and im frezying


rita why do i get the feeling that if your estate manager was a man
you would of had no truble in geting your light bulb changeing

Linda, I loved the holiday destination,and the quality of the transport and venue is fantastic. When are we off.

Dermot, my refusal will be in the post. Sorry got more pressing appointments to keep. ( The ironing board will be out that day )

Keep the 29th April free. Invitation to follow.

I have a new bulb in the center light in my front-room. Ted the man in the flat above me came and did it he is 88 years old and his sight is bad.he asked me why my light had nor been on last night and I told him. he said he would do it , I said no, I dont think that is safe but he insistered.

When the Estate Manager came out of her door I asked her if I pull the "anchor cor" who do I ask to come and fit a light bulb in for me.?
her reply they dont . they do electrics but not fitting bulbs in. what do I do then.? her reply ask a neighbourough to do it for you . I said the neighbours are all as old as myself or older. and what about the health and safety you keep going on about.? I said in that case will you put the next light bulb in for me when it goes. ? no I am not allowed
then what am I supose to do. ? get your daughter to do it. (she is nursing her husband who has cancer and lives near London)
The other son lives in London and is a paramedic on shift work. my other sun is a computer consultant for BT on call out standby he lives about three miles away.
I would not advise anyone who is thinking of going into a retirment flat or house and hope to have help.from people . because you are wasting your time.
the managememnt meetings are held once a month on a morning in the time they are suppose to be on duty incase you need advise and you pay for that.
They run the retirment flats for them not for you. all the benfits go to them.
so you can see how bitter I am about it all.


Rita

Had a nice walk to see the nurse at the Dr.
Well guess what my weight is about the same
I must be eating a maintenance diet LOL
Trouble is I am supposed to be trying to loose some to ward off the diabetes.

She had now given me a new portion control diet which is no more than 1200 calories a day !!!
I have to go and see her again after Christmas so that a little bit longer than before. Wonder how I will do.

Have a good afternoon everyone

Linda :o) XxX

Ladies check your e-mails as I have sent you something special.

The guys would really be jealous if we can pull this off.

Remember invading Marilyn's house in the summmer?

Linda :O) XxX

morning all.
It is dismal this morning but I suppose it could be worse. ? so must be graeful I am still around.

I need to pop across to the chemist this morning that will be a far as I go today unless ?

My ceiling light in the front room has gone so I have only the small standard lamp one to see by and it was so dismal last night. I kept dropping off to sleep. cat naps as you might call them.
Now I have to try and get someone to put the new bulb in for me.
Our Estate manager said she is not allowed to health and safety.
I think they would rather I fell from the ladder than try and help.

so I am looking for a man to do it for me.. the first one I see come on this estate I will lasoo him. otherwise I will have to use the pull call for help. and they send someone from a couple of miles away to put a bulb in for me. that is what they call progress.
so dont get old and have to rely on help. it does not help either moving into a retirement flat.

Have a good day all.

Rita

Dame Shelly,

You're an early bird eh !

Thanks for the breakfast. Needed a cuppa And the bun was just great.

I've been out since 5.30am doing a couple of urgent wee jobs. Now I can relax for half an hour before the next round of work I've got to do today.

Also looks like a trip up the loft at some point to get the Christmas decorations down. She, who must be obeyed, has ordered it.

Hey Ho off I go !

Have a good day ya all !

Morning Shelly and all other later risers
Fresh here this morning

My wife and I were in New York, Central Park, when a Wedding group arrived to have photographs taken.

All the guests were wearing black.

I asked them the reason for this and was told it was to highlight the attire of the bride and groom, both in white, and also the colours of the best man and bridesmaids, they were wearing bright red.

Got me thinking !!!!!! And boy is that hard to do.
