Rita,

Did you use a hand whisk ? that would get rid of lumps .

The wool looked like 3ply and had all colours pale as well as dark.

I feel sure that it could make baby cardies ...

while I am on I dont know if anyone can help but my friend did some shopping for me while I was ill and I asked her to get me bisto Granuals she brought me the old fashion powder instead I didnt like to tell. her .The thing is I have tried making gravy with it and I am not being very succeful it ends up in lumps. it works when I do roast in the oven with the hot fat in the pan but not when I do it without that cooked fat. It came out all lumpy. I should be use to making it with powder we had nothing else when I was growing up and when I got married in 1951. so where am I going wrong ?

Marilyn the wool you were telling Mo about was it baby Wool. ?

Rita

They aren't Marilyn, I've just checked..............LOL

Pauline don't forget your OXO cubes ... in your dinner tonight get rid of them as they are out of date ...LOL

Them big hairy spiders frighten me as well Marilyn.

Hi Pauline.


I live with daddy long legs they stay still hanging on walls.......funny I don't mind them its them big fat hairy ones with boots & shoes that Shelly & Rita gets that I panic over ...LOL


Now I bet tonight I GET ONE ....
You'll all hear me scream

Mo in Lidl they had wool 4balls for £2 -95p not bad ....

Linda, I don't know where you get the patience from, I could never do your job.

Shelly did you get your daughter's lappy sorted, or is she still nicking yours?

I can't see Mo today, bet she's running round the shops buying up all the wool for the new babies.

Hope it goes OK for you tomorrow Rita, I'll keep my fingers crossed that the results are good.

We haven't had any big spiders either Marilyn, but we've had a couple of those little jumpy spiders. I hate them, when I try to catch them they jump out of the way, and I can't see where they've gone.

Glad you enjoyed the wedding Yvonne, did you get drunk?

Now where has Stephen got to? He's supposed to be back today, he not still with that blonde with the short skirt is he?

Yvonne there are a lot fo them Spiders about at the moment. Marilyn thinks she is getting off scot free well she will be having them call I am sure of it. unless the dont like Devon for their holidays.? followed by the daddy long legs and field mice. she can hold a party for them. I will pass the word around up here and then tell them that spiders are going to have a rave up at Marilyns.

I really do not know where today had gone I keep looking at the clock to make sure i have read it correctly.

I did all my washing and it is all dried and put away. now I have to sort all my paperwork out for the Doctors and the Hospital for tomorrow I hate to leave things to the last minute as I might forget.

Rita

I can honestly say I have not had ANY SPIDERS for the very first time in years,
now wonder why that is..........Maybe they are getting together and spying on me out to ALL come at once .......then I'll scream for Shelly so she can scream with me ..LOL

Just come back from gardening centre went to see if they had reduced some clematis as I want 4 of them , but no ,so I'll wait a few weeks in hope that they will be reduced, I always buy my plants this time of the year ( reduced ), I'm not tight or anything but, I do begrudge paying for plants that are nearly at the end of season & nearly dead .

Cup of tea anyone......(_)? (_)? (_)? (_)?

About time Stephen appeared [_] scotch for him .....

Afternoon everyone

Had a lovely time at the wedding reception, haven't seen my freind for some time so lovely to catch up,

Rita have you been telling those spiders to come round to my house! I've found 2, one in the living room and one in the kitchen sink, he went for an early bath lol

oh no it's raining, i'll have to run out and get my washing in

I go to the Doctors on my own.
The hospital I have Goldsworth Care take me by car otherwise I would have two buses to get there or bus train and bus. They will also take me home.
I have got use to going on my own. I have no one who could go as my son is on call most of the time and my daughter cannot leave her husband he is really sick now he is so thin and has a job to walk.
My other son lives the other side of London and I dont see him that much.
It is one of those things if your on your own there is nothing you can about it.
so I have to wait and see what happens and face whatever comes..

we will see.
but I dont know if I will be on the board tomorrow till later.

Rita

Rita, Marilyn's right, you need to take someone with you tomorrow, have you got someone who could go?



Edit: I need to go and wash my hair now, be back later.

Hi all.

I logged on at about 7 this morning but didn't get the chance to post anything because my son needed me. After he went out I tried to post something but a friend phoned (for over an hour). Then I tried again and another friend phoned, I've only just put the phone down. Thought I was never going to get on here.

Oh my God Rita, you should take someone with you ......be comforting to have to share any news with another...

We are in the garden digging up my trellises as new ones are going up tomorrow. In for coffee right now and a peep at you lot ..LOL

Linda I often think if you stay in bed you feel worse as you lay there worrying about things. I do that when I am unable to stand without being giddy then I go to bed . when I had that virus a few weeks ago. there was no way I could get up except to use the loo and get a bottle of water.
I hope your get over this quickly.

Hi Marilyn got your email that was good I thought the photos of the animals was really sweet.

My sister went off to Malta this morning she has gone with a tour party she said she was going to go on her own but thought it might be better to go on a tour it would be easier for her.to see all the places of interest she is away for a week.

I am doing my washing I am waiting for the dryer to finish it off.

Tomorrow I have a busy and worrying day. I have the doctors for my Warfarin blood test in the morning will also get the water test and the blood test I had done last week four of them ?

Then in the afternoon I have to go to The Royal Surrey to hear the scan results about my cancer. and I have to tell them about my being ill at the last scan. Sister at the surgery has told me I must tell then as she thinks I had an agina attack.
so things are not looking too good.


I will know all tomorrow night good or bad.so will let you know.

Rita

Linda,

I did wonder if it was Davina at one time I must say I went to the loo and when I came back she was doing her bit so did not see her being introduced , I was a bit shocked and said to Pete do you think that's her ? but when she turned sideways she had Davina's nose ..LOL

Oh thanks for that.......I bet she was not pleased though !

Marilyn I think it wasn't really Davina, but a comedienne taking the p**s!!!!

Actually that part really put me off to be honest, I didn't like it at all.

Have a good day.

I have to go out tomorrow as Hubby is off and the next 2 days I have the littles again LOL. Hard to fit them all in the car, and then to get back for school pick up easier to stay home. Might do some bead threading for necklaces and bracelets for them to take home.

Linda :o) XxX

Morning All.

Linda its just as well you have not got the little ones while your not well ,that worked out well .....off gallivanting tomorrow will do you no good, stay home and recuperate a bit ....you naughty girl !!
Dont know how you do it , one day with my two and I'm 10years older ...LOL

Did anyone watch Heroes last night ? I thought it was great , but wondered what Devina was on ....she was not quite herself !!! over acted a bit .
