General Chat

Linda is still knitting for England in-between baby minding and going out for meals.

Yvonne is making loads of extra money with all the extra work she's doing.

Shelly is the only person on the planet who's isn't pleased that the kids are back at school.

Marilyn is on her way to twisting Stephen round her little finger ............just like she does with Pete.

Mo is on her way to Rita's house to deck her for saying she has a bum like a blue whale.

Jean only has another couple of weeks of treatment left and then we'll all be crossing everything for good results from the scans.

Rita is trying to get some photos to us, can't wait to see them.

Stephen is working out how much it's going to cost him for letting us down.

Can't see Liz, she must have gone on another thread and got lost.

Morning all.

It's horrible here, gales and torrential rain, I've got to go out in it later - meeting a friend.

Yesterday I didn't get the chance to switch the lappy on, spent all day looking for a junior school uniform to fit my 10 year old niece (great niece) who's taller than a 14 year old and takes a size 8 shoe. Nobody sells junior uniforms in that size.

By the time I caught up on things and made the dinner last night - I was shattered and fell asleep.

I'm going to have a read of the thread now to see what I missed.

Morning everyone
Very wet overnight but dry at the moment.
Have Little again today. Hope to get out for a walk at least this morning.
Hubby is still in court, case not finished yet.

Have a good day everyone

Linda :o) XxX

evening every one

pauline has not check in today now i wounder whats more impolant than us lol

marilyn what you moaning for ill be 50 by the time all mine have left school

Hi Mo
Those holes could be months Lol I have had them since 1946/7you know I cannot send attachments I am not good at that. but I found a couple of phots (small ones )in my box this morning three acttually one in my Land-Army uniform with those socks on so I have put them in an envelope to send to Marilyn as she is the only one who's address I have. so I dont know if she will be able to email them to you girls but you will get a big belly laugh if she can.
I will post them tomorrow to her
.Jean Mo skinny dipping would have given you a good laugh. her butt was blue with the cold water.
I thought she had a whale following her a small one. that is Lol.

Love Rita

Jean glad to hear that lets hope you scan goes OK it is such a worry. I phoned the hospital and made my scan appiontment they gave me the same day I have the doctors for my second lot of blood test done 14th September the blood is done at 10.10 in the morning and the scan
results are at 3.20 st St Lukes Guildford. the only trouble is now I am having trouble booking the care car no one is available but she said a couple of the drivers are on holiday so she will aske them when they get back. I thanked her and said if you get no one by next Thursday would she let me know as I will have to asked the Doctor for transport to the hospital.

so I am on tender hooks now ?


Thanks for the Tea Jean they went down a treat.

Love Rita

Hello Jean, It's good to hear from you.
I hope your back is not to sore after your injection today. I have everything crossed for your scan. I bet you will be glad when the chemo is over though.
The weekend away was a bit of a dissapointment, with Stephen being absent, we did not manage to see a lot of the sights he had planned for us
But it could have been a blessing in disguise, we might have ended up
absolutely shattered, with all the climbing he had planned for us.
Don't believe what Rita said about me skinny dipping, just because I ended up looking like a shrivelled up prune, I did have my swimming costume on.
Well we do know that our Rita had a lovely time, with our driver,talking to him, so she tells us. lol
And I want to know how she ended up with holes in her land army socks, when she was sat down for so long, drinking cups of hot choclate.
I have to admit that Marilyns tent was lovely, but our caravan was super, with all mod cons included.
You will have to come on our next outing, as Stephen has promised to take us all out for a meal, and Marilyn is trying to get a show out of him.
Oh and thanks for the cuppa, just what the doctor ordered.

Hello everyone, have just been reading about your weekend away, would love to have seen you in the caravan and tents, hope it wasn't too cold at night.
bet you wont be camping again this year, the weather seems to be changing quickly, has been more like winter here today. quite cold and very strong winds, and now it is raining.
Had my last injection in my back today, scan next week, and 2 more weeks of radio therapy then scan for that.
Hope you are all ok,

(_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? tea anyone?

Take care,
Jean xx

Hi Everyone,

What a day today.....my grandkids have just about driven me up the wall and around it millions of times over ....

Just had to have a soak in the bath to regain my sanity ...LOL

I think the kids needs to go back to school, they are bored out of their tiny minds .

Dont think I could ever go backwards .....I love my quiet time on my lappy and please myself when to put my telly on instead of the kids stuff !!

Now am I a moaning Minnie ??????? LOL

Going to make dinner now .....

i hate the kids being back to school
carnt stay up as late and have to get up early in the morning

weather is going to change quick now and i dont like the cold
pluss its time for those big dragon flys

will get dark very early and will be dark when you get up in the morning
exsep for marilyn cos she dont get up till 10am

well going to start the dinner now see you later

Stephen

your forgiven we dont hold grudges. I bet that air was blue around you when you had the conversation with the supplier.?

These things happen. I have in the past 7 years had Freedserve. they sold out to Wanado who in turned sold out to Orange. That drove me up the wall as nothing was working right when they kept changing over.

I hope you get yourself sorted out sooner than later.

Marilyn Hi we have now got an overcast sky not looking good at all. I did the washing this morning all dry as I stuck it in the dryer instead of on the line.incase it rained.

My friend phoned me from Morrisons to see if I wanted any food. so I gave her a list and she has just brought the food to me so I dont have to go out now today

I think I must have had a brain storm this morning. I had listed my visit to the doctor for tomorow. then went to check the time for next tuesday when I have the Doctors again for blood tests. I had failed to make a note of it in my desk diary or my wall one then I realised I had forgotten to phone the hospital in Guilford for my scan results appointment so I did that it is on the same day as my blood test 14th one is in the morning the other in the afternoon. then I remembered I had to phone Goldsworth Care to arrange for a car to take me . talk about a divi thats me this morning I need food and a drink maybe my mind will work afterwards.

Rita

Hi Stephen.

We are forgivers ......But as well as a scrumptious meal I think you could throw in a West End Show to accompaniment that meal ...........???????


I'm sure the girls would look forward to a evening of being spoil' t .


Its pouring with rain here, and I have two kids to entertain, they are already arguing...... got another 4hrs yet !! LOL

Stephen crawls out from under a boulder and grovels to all the lovely ladies he has let down.

Knew I should have stayed with my old Broadband supplier.

I will not be connected until the 13th of September....what a farce this has turned into.....no problems they said...we will do all the arranging....like heck they did....and would you believe it they asked me to EMAIL my complaints...LOL. I had to explain I couldn't do that as I had no Broadband as THEY hadn't connected me.
The sky turned blue as I uttered things like...my cosh! cripes! etc.

I'm only in my Office for a couple of hours today and won't be in again until next week.

I can see I'm gonna have to take you all out to dinner to make up for letting you down.

Keep on trucking!

Stephen

While I think of it. WDYTYA tonight dont forget BBC 1.
Hugh Quarshie the a Doctor the one who appears in Holby City
should be a good one to watch.

Rita

Morning
Sorry you didnt make the trip Yvonne but work must come first. with the costs of everything going up.
Maybe next time your be able to make it when we think of where we will go Lol.
One of my Grandaughters starts her course at College today she is trying for Uni as well wants to do social work with children. she loves them she is working at holiday times with children.she does nothing but talk about them when she gets home.

Shelly my sister Sheila was a History teacher she taught that and English and speaks French ,Italian and some German and Spainish. she retired from teaching about five years ago.she really loved History still reads a lot of History. i suppose that was where I got interested in History.


Linda you seem to have a busy day mapped out a head of you today. hope it all goes well. I notice your still knitting I bet sparks are flying f rom those needles. ?
to all those not yet up.
come on Lazy bones up and face another monday. I have my washing to do now.

Morning everyone
Well up and at em. Little here later as Mum is back to work. Daddy will be bringing her.and probably collecting her too.
The washing was brought in damp yesterday as it rained so the planned pub lunch in the garden migrated inside. It was very nice too. Then they all came back here to chat and we made a buffet tea , which all disappeared.

Not looking too promising here this morning but I only need to go to the post box so not too far.

Off to daughters this evening for dinner and to take the last 2 cardigans over.

Liz thanks for the hint about wool in Lidl I got some darker colours to make jumpers for Bulgaria.

Catch you alll later hopefully

Hi everyone
Sorry I missed our little trip to Scotland, I 've been at work this weekend to cover for people on holiday, phew I'm exausted, I haven't done this many hours for a long time.

Belated birthday wishes to Olly, hasn't the year flown by, It wasn't so long ago we were voting for him in the photo competition.

My son starts college tomorrow, he didn't want to stay on at school for 6th form cos they weren't doing any courses in what he wanted to do.

I will have you know that Driver went home with a smile on his face and was as happy as a sandboy. I must admit I did feel tired .

Mo I thought that was a bit much you skinny swimming I had to cover the drivers eyes they were popping out of his head. I made out you were not part of our party.

I know one thing I have big holes in my old Land=army socks they were not in them when I started out on that climb so I am going to send them to Mrilyn perhaps she will darn them for me for next time. ? but I am not going with Stephen he may be a good climber and no his way about but he should have turned up. I think he was in that little Inn we passed having a few drinks

I think we are in for a storm here it is very humid in fact I have a headche coming on .
I did do some of the typing but I have a way too go. tomorrow I have the washing to do the next day a blood test at the doctors.

so you GIRLS be good if you cannot be good them be careful.

Rita

Now that Caravan that Shelly sent you all , was a part exchange for my deluxe caravan that I didn't use . LOL


I have been out on the beach and walked on the lovely sand , came home and had a Chicken curry........did not feel like a roast.

Shelly can we have an update photo of our mascot Olly ! PLEASE.
