Hi everyone, hope you are all ok and have enjoyed bonfire night without too much dsiturbance.
Got 2 days free now, am looking forward to the break.
Rita I know exactly what you mean about slowing down when we get older, and if I dont write myself notes I forget things a lot.
The joys of being a senior citizan LOL.
Hope you all have a good weekend.
Take care.

Cor Stephen white gold and Diamonds, nooooo thats not me, thats Marilyn. It would soon be ruined the amount of times my hands are in water, all that washing up. My curtain ring went green ages ago. If you do happen to pan for that gold, just remember who your friends are.

Hmm Maddie, auntie motie comes to mind,she who has the lady that does for her,and is a real prim and proper lady. No that can't be right, she would not deem to lower herself to come onto the friendlies thread.lol

Alan Sugar.....like him......Never!

I'm more like Humpty Dumpty.

Mo, White Gold. White Diamonds. Nice!

I would love to go Panning for Scottish Gold in the River Helmsdale in Sutherland and have a ring made for my wife.
Then a string of fresh water pearls from the River Tay .

But.......

She will just need to put up with the ring she has even if it does turn her finger green. Her 'pearls' are made from some old ball bearings I had in the garage.

Can't have folk thinking the Scots are an extravagant race, can I.

Hello, Hello, Hello,

Not up in the sky.....more down to earth !!!!

Home rather late from work. Had the sad task of having to dismiss someone this afternoon. Dosen't happen very often but it's never easy.

Welcome Dermot. I don't feel so alone now. Watch out for them planting Thongs on you. They have a terrible habit of doing that. Still to find the culprit.

Hey Ho ! Time for some food.

Marilyn, hope you've got plenty of room in your case for all those presents, you might have to buy a new case to put ours in.

Shelly is busy lighting fireworks for her family gathering, don't know where Mo went.

Yes Rita, I got a free wireless router as well but had to buy the splitter things that go into the phone sockets.

Dermot, our Marilyn lives in Devon but she lived in London for a long time as well. She's on holiday at the moment but she'll still be posting when she's got time.

Edit: Mo, I didn't see you because I changed the music over for son before I clicked on 'Submit'.

Wonder if everyone is out watching fireworks.

Stephen is in his kilt directing the firework display. waving a haggis as a weapon.
