Morning all.

Maddie, you're very organized and you do a lot of walking - you would have done well in the army.

Rita and Linda, we haven't got your rain yet but it's windy and bitter cold, it's the type of wind that just cuts right through you.......I hate the cold, I'm a wimp.

Can you send us a bit of your lovely warm sunshine Marilyn?

I like spotty dick Yvonne, but I prefer a home made one, my mam used to make them in a cloth.............clouty pudding.

Mo, that's great timing for the meet, you'll all be able to sing to Jean for her birthday. Don't forget to take photos.................preferably before you all get legless. Oh, I forgot, you don't drink - that means you're in charge of the camera. It's a shame that Shelly can't go.........but rules are rules.

And where are our 2 fine men this morning? No sign of them, what did you lot do to them last night while I wasn't here to keep you all under control?

If I could ? I would blow a big raspberry at the weather it is like the rain forest. dark windy and dam wet..

Jean they are making a new series of Downton Abbey for next year.
Last nights one was a bit of a rush to get it finshed I wish they would not do that as everything happened at once and it is hard to take it all in.

so they have left us with a big cliff hanger now.

Must admit I am not a" Get me out of here fan. " I watched it a few times when it first started and hated it. I didnt like the way people acted trying to show off for the camera and make a name for themselves.

I am sorting my washing out now so I can get than done and out of the way.

Morning Mo and Yvvone nice to hear from you you do sound very busy. I got your email Marilyn thank you.
morning Linda have a nice day.

Rita

Morning everyone
It is dark, squally and very wet here this morning.

I guess we will be staying home today and not going out as I had hoped.

Little is here again later, not the early starts this week thank goodness.

Hope you all have a good week. Thinking of you Jean as your treatment continues. How many more weeks do you have?

Linda :o) XxX

Mo ...& ...Rita,

Thank you for the Strictly News .....Jimi did let himself down last week or was it the week before ?

Ann is a joke .....knocking real dancers off, but I must admit the viewers must like the entertainment , I do like Anton.....only as a dancer and of course he is cheeky..LOL

Mo you are so right I love all these reality shows ......just for nosiness I suppose.
Wonder who they got going in the jungle, I suppose I can look it up on internet, but you'll have to tell me Mo all about it as you see it , like who's being two faced and all that nitty gritty stuff..LOL
The internet wont let me play anything over here in USA it blocks any video's from UK.
I went to play some of Strictly and up came not available ....BOO HOOOOO ..

Off for my meal.... x

Oooh yes I'm a celebrity starts next sunday, I forgot that, thanks for the reminder about it Jean. Huh Marilyn will be well cheesed orft, as she likes it as well. I know it's not everyones cup of tea, but I enjoy watching idiots making fools of themselves. Myself included in that as well.

hello everyone

you lot have been gabbing, I've had to read loads of posts to catch up.

I've been at work today, finished at 4 then I went to stables to put the horse to bed and give her dinner, got home just after 5, OH had started dinner, chicken cassarole with spotty dick and custard for pud, (cheated with the spotty dick, it was a tiined one)

Linda I'm pleased your do went off ok and you all had a good time

x

Hi yet again, I will definately be at the meet, that will make my birthday special.
Rita, I am waiting for Downton Abbeym pity it is the last one.
Next Sunday is the start of another 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here'
Bye for now.
Jean xx

Thanks for Jean's birthdate Rita. The meet is going to be on the 19th of March, the day before Jeans birthday, how great is that.

Maddie, we went into Wethersp**ns the last time we came up to London. We went to see the show Wicked just along the road from it. It was not to bad at that time, but as we all know, places can quickly go down hill.
You take it easy with your back now, and don't over do it. No jumping of the wardobes in the bedroom. Lol

Mo i did the same gave the reslts to Marilyn you beat me too it Lol
Jean's birthday 20th March
Mo I thought that was bad they kept Ann and Anton in It is bad when they do that. she may be a laugh but then someone who can dance goes out

It is the last of Downton Abbey tonight. I bet they put a lot of rubbish on in its place.

Jean I am going to do some more of my tree tomorrow have had enough for today I am going crossed eyed.

Rita

Rita, I agree with you about Ann Widdy, but she is being kept in for entertainment value only, and not for her dancing,as she is absolutely hopeless at it.

Marilyn
incase I forget it was Jimi and Flavia who went off tonight it was between brendon and Michelle and Jimi and Flavia.
Ann and Anton got through
I cannot believe

Rita

Breaking news for Marilyn......... Jimmi and Flavia are out of the dancing.
Could not post last night as the dance results were not till tonight.
It was between him and Michelle and Brendan Cole

'The peasants are still beating the pheasants out of the bushes for the shooting gentry'. (John McGahern).

Jean it would be a lovely treat to meet you. I am lucky in as much as I am only between, 45-60 minutes away from Victoria by train.
What date in March is your birthday, you never know it may be the same date as the meet.

Hi again, Mo, I will be 74 in March so maybe I should make a visit to London my birthday treat to myself, though I haven't been there since I was 17, not sure I could find my way around now, but it would be absolutely great to meet you.
Rita, I suppose I have all that to come, my Grandson is 22 so its a long time since I had babies around, except for the ones I fostered, but they were never here for very long.
I am going to do some more work on my tree now,
Take care.
Jean xx

Hello Mo Jean and Dermot

we were told on the radio Surrey there was bad weather ahead gale force winds and heavy rain coming our way. they said Snow in Scotland and the west coast is going to have the same as us/ it is very cold here tonight I will put my heating on in a moment.
I am getting ready to have an early tea so I can sit and watch some television tonight. I have worked hard today on files and adding to my tree. so I stopped and thought thats it for now.

Jean I have a great grandson Charlie he came here two weeks ago and has started walking he was into everything even my computer had sticky hands on it and the DVDs were taken out the book shelf and stacked on the floor then he wanted to make a phone call. I dont know how his parents can keep rushing around after him it tired me out.
I was thinking Jean if the weather is that bad I will be able to start writing Chrstmas cards out and do more on the family tree,.
I have added 6 more this last couple of days.

see you later

Rita

Well Dermot, there was me thinking that all the people travelling down towards the coast, with boats on their roof racks were daft, but it looks like it could be me left with egg on my face now.

Well, are we going to get this stormy weather tonight or what? Our neighbours across the Irish Sea have been forecasting gales & floods for several days now.

The authorities there have been filling sandbags and the like for distribution to ease the expected water surge coupled with high tides.

I’ve been so worried that I dug out the building plans Noah used to build the Arc. Unfortunately, Aramaic is not a language I’m fluent in at the moment. So, I suspect nails are being hammered in where they may not be needed. Multiple language instructions are a relatively recent innovation. Anyway, I was never very good at assembling flat packs.

I have no intention of inviting the animals, two by two, to come along. Look what happened to Noah’s Arc as a result of those pesky woodpeckers.

Anyone got some spare seasick tablets please?

Oooooh Jean, I am so sorry, I forgot to mention you when I finished my last post. Stupid stupid me, please forgive me.
Yes there is to be a meet up in Victoria, in March next year. Maddie is doing all the arrangments,and so far there is three of us from this thread going. Even Stephen has threatened to honour us with a visit. Please say you can make the meet, it would be so lovely to meet you.
I bet you have thoroughly enjoyed having the baby there this weekend. They grow up so quickly dont they, bless them, but we can't keep them babies all their lives, mores the pity.
