General Chat

You've all gone and left me talking to myself!!!

Rita, you've done well with Martha, I couldn't find her after her marriage either. I was wondering if they moved away because I couldn't find any of them after the marriage.

Sue, where've you been?

Mo, Maddie looks really good for her age doesn't she?

My God, is that our Sue back?

Oh my god, I must go and check my e.mails.
Just to make sure our old gal aint broken it. Weeell she is 92 dont ya know. LOL

Hi Mo
I thought Marilyn said she flys off Sunday so I would imagine she has gone up to London. I hope she remembers to alter her clock Lol. I cannot recall Shelly being on today.? but then I am at sixes and sevens. did you get Maddie photo's are'nt they good. I emailed Pauline and thanked her for sending them.
Sue last I heard you were going to sell your horse and get another one, ? sorry you have not got a lot of work. do you use one of your friends horse's for riding.
Rita

Sue
we keep getting them come and go. I think they go because we are a lot of nutty people Marilyn is off to American AGAIN. .
some of the old one have left ,but we have Yvvone , and Maddie, and Jean (Jenniwren ) also a MAN Stephen from Scotland he gets us doing daft things if you look back you can see just what but it is a big laugh.
I hope you are back for good.

Love Rita

Oh my god, look peeps, it's our Sue, she's back. Good to hear from you Sue, where have you been hiding all this time.
We have got two new nutters, Maddie and Stephen and the lovely Jean. You will like them, they are good fun.
Has Shelly been on today Rita. Is it today that Maz is going up to London for her flight tommorrow.

hi rita

Hello Sue

Love Rita

EVENING ALL

(_)?(_)?(_)?{_}?

dame shelly my arse!!!! lol

how many newbies have we!!

Pauline
I thought I would let you know I have traced back Gt Gt Uncle James wife Martha and her family ,she worked as a servant from 1861 for an accountant at one of the universities. she was still with that family in 1871 when she got married in the June of that year.

I traced back to her birth year and found her parents and her brothers and sister Martha was the eldest child her father worked on a farm .
(The people she worked for lived in Hampstead.)
)
The laugh I had was I found she was born quiet near to where I live now .. infact I get the bus when I go to Guildford and it passes where she lived.
My son lives five minutes away from where she lived as well.
what a small world.

The big dissappointment is I am unable to find them in any of the census 1881, 1891. 1901.
As James was in the Royal Navy I wondered if he stayed in it.? but if that was the case then I would have found her but I have nothing. of course he could have gone back to Ross and Comarty in Scotland.
so I will delve a little more if not I will put it on the trying to find board and see if anyone can help. it is a long shot but people are very good on there.

Rita

Pauline.
Thank you for that information about Great Great Uncle James wife. it appears she worked for an accountant who worked for St Pancas university.. that is what it looks like the census is so feint it is hard to read.
I am ging to try and get a bit further later today.
You can delete the infomation you gave me if you would please.?I will let you know anything I find out.
I think you are the one to receive the photos or Shelly to pass them on. but the people dont have to send any photos if they dont want to. we dont want to put people off. Lol Marilyn will be a way for awhile. not sure how long she never said.

I have been to post a birthday card off to a friend in Norfolk I called into the Chemist to get my eye drops perscription
There were five adults with their dogs and the dogs were all fighting it was really scary I have never seen so many dogs out together as there were today.
I brought myself a fresh chicken from Waitrose they were on special so I will cook that tomorrow and it will last me for four days. I will be flapping my wings after all that chicken..

Rita

Oops, never thought about that Rita.

Jean, Maddie, Stephen, don't worry about photos being displayed on the Internet.......they aren't!! We just email them to one person and that person emails them to the others. We'll send an email of all the ones we've already got so you can see who you're talking to.

We've got a good one of Rita in the Land Army when she was young, as well as one the way she is now.

Morning all
I sound like Jack Warner in The Blue Lamp.

Linda I hope your be able to have that party for your parents, this might with a little luck be a small set back I do hope so. ?

Pauline dont try and get Shelly into Marilyn suit case she wont fit she has a big box in the cargo hatch. for all the goods she will be bringing back with her. so Shelly can use that but I dont know how she will get back home.Just think Shelly all your family will be so upset at their Mum going away.

Pauline I managed to get rid of the heartburn being on Warfin I am not allowed to take anything from a chemist for it. so I try Milk first if that does not work I sip some Lemonade.

The sun is coming out now after all that rain last night I hope ot stays long enough to dry the pavememnt up. There was so much rain it could not go down the drains and it was like a water fall

Pauline you might put Stephen off if he thinks he has to display his photo on here. one email to someone and it can be passed a round.

Morning Jean Hope your Ok.have a good weekend..

Rita

Shelly, you haven't got long to lose weight if you want to get into Marilyn's case.

Marilyn, can you give Shelly a little bit more time?

Maddie, we all have photos of each other so we know what we look like when we chat on here. We haven't got one of you, Jean or Stephen............so we need them to put in the rogues gallery.

Did you hear that Jean and Stephen? Come on rake a photo out, and Stephen don't send us one of the 'Milk Tray' man, we'll know it's not you.

Mo wasn't on much last night, wonder if she was out practicing on her broomstick.

Did you manage to get rid of your heartburn Rita?

Haven't seen Yvonne for a while but it was good to see Liz back on the thread again.

Morning all.

Linda I'm so sorry to hear about your parents, it doesn't seem that long ago that your dad came out of hospital. Your poor mam must be in a right state with it all. You'll be so worried about it, especially as you don't live near them. You are all in my thoughts.

I saw your message come up last night but when I tried to type a reply to it.....nothing happened, then I realised my server had gone down and I couldn't get back on. The server has just come back up now.

Morning all
Drinks for anyone?

Thank you all for your comments on my parents health. When I hear more today I will addd anything I learn.
Just so sad that this has happened now as they celebrate their Diamond wedding on Wednesday. And we were having a family get together on Saturday(next week).

Hope you all have a good day today.

The meal last night was very nice. Our friends seem OK. He was somewhat quieter than usual, pensive I think you might call it.

Linda :o) XxX

marilyn i have no unopened mail think you need your eyes tested again lol

WHOOOOOHOOOO

evening every one

Hi Linda, sorry to hear about your Mum and Dad, must be very hard for you to cope with the news about them both. Please take care of yourself.

Rita, if there is nothing worth watching on tv I usually do some word search puzzles, keeps me occupied.

Hope you all have a good weekend.
Take care.
Jean xx
