Looks like the others forgot to make breakfast!

Lovely sunrise this morning, looks like it's going to be another cracking day. Temperature was well down this morning though...not far of frost level.

I'm ready for another 'hard day' at work. Lol.

Have a good day ya all.


Stephen

Morning Liz
I guess you will be in bed by now. Hope the wedding went off OK.The weather is forecast for good today Liz. We had several showers yesterday(everytime I put the washing out actually)

Hi to everyone else when you get up.

Hubby has gone to work, his last day for a while as it is court tomorrow for Jury service.
I am up as the dustbin men have just been!! Always early on a Bank Holiday,but they came as hubby left. Guess who can't get back to sleep. I have to rescue the green bags for garden rubbish when that gets picked up too as they will likely blow down the street.

Yesterday I gave the garage a good spring clean, it was so dusty on the floor underneath the covering of various mats placed out there. It looks like josephs coat of many colours. Well several of those went out with the dustmen earlier and sorted some of the stuff stored as no car can fit in there now.

Oh well hope you all enjoy today

Catch up later

Linda :o) XxX

Thanks Shelly, kind of you to remember me in the frivolity and more going on (did see a few mentions earlier lol)

I added to the end of my thank you thread but will tell the whole sorry tale later today if o.h. goes out to his father's as planned, personally I saw enough of the old goat (79 today) to last me for weeks, and don't want to go for a day at the coast just cos the old beggar commands it, he speaks his son obeys! Pathetic the lot of them! As if they didn't spend enough on petrol on Saturday and us over the weekend they now think a 'family day for Father's bday' whcih usually happens every year and this year happens to fall on Bank Hol monday, should take place regardless of weather at a remote camping and caravan site near the coast. Nowhere nice to get food or anything, why they had to pick that venue I don't know and if o.h. doesn't feel well enough to drive there and back, tough, he will have to stay there, I rarely go to these command days as they are too early for me, and too boring, I had enough of the family on Saturday. I will have a nice lazy day to myself.
Am hoping my lad doesn't have too muddy an end to his weekend at Reading, so he can pack his tent etc up easily and it doesn't end up stinking and damp when he gets home, he only has a little balcony to dry it out on and the forecast is for showers here.

Back later, behave yourself you naughty girls
take care
love
Lizxxxx

i wounder how liz is feeling today hope she had a good time at the wedding

Liz look see im the only one thay cares about you cos im the only one that is asking how you are and how the wedding went


lol

Hi Everyone,

Am I on the right thread ????

Bloomers... G-strings.... Nickers !!

G-strings ....now come on you are all joking ..Me in G's ? your having a laugh.!! .

If I had my way I would wear thermals ....long johns ones ..Couldn't please a man any more ,I must go for comfort.

As you all know I have to have me electric blankly , now the winter 's upon us.
Stephen.... just chuck those undies over board ...

I have just got home ,it took 6hrs ,better than last time traffic was good all the way..
Back in the morning .....

Mo that happened to me in 1947 I was crossing the road in Oxford street coming from my office to go to HMV the otherside of the road,. and my button came off my knickers I just stepped out of them shoved them in my pocket and went to HMV

all those years ago.

sorry Stephen hope I have not embarassed you ?

Rita

mine are the belly warmers thank you lol

been a bite bizzy

stephen do you have eny ancester up my end of the laned

ooops got to go baby is home and i have not seen him all week

Ooooh Rita, you are awful, but I like you. Saucy minx offering Stephen your kilt pins, what will YOU do if your knicker elastic goes. ( sniggers to herself )
The elastic in my petticoat gave out on me many years ago. I was using the zebra crossing at the time, I just nonchalantly(sp) stepped out of it, and carried on walking, leaving it behind. Had I done that these days, I would have ended up with a heavy fine for littering the highway.

well I can assure you the black knickers were not mine I own one pair and I have them on now. lol I have never worn a G-string but I am sure it is our Marilyns. she does things like that goes off shopping and comes back with really weired things..

Pauline and Mo
My daughter said if we ddnt laugh at times mum we would not be able to go on. I think she is right I am sure Jean will agree with me.she said it was a.like "carry on film"

l Stephen for goodness sake dont go out with that kilt if there is a wind about because someone will see them and they might have a little white flower on the leg.and that would not do.

by the way Stephen I have four kilt pins if that will help take them in to fit you.

Rita

Stretch them!

I had to take tucks in with a couple of pins.

( what a fibber)

They don't really match anything....but then... who'll see them?

The wee black ones must be Shelly's then Stephen. She will kill you for wearing them. lol especially if you have stretched them.

NOT THE BIG BLOOMERS

The Wee Black ones

Stephen, get my Bridget Jones big knickers of now, you are very naughty.
It's a good job they were clean ones.
Yes Pauline the G-String is Marilyns. Didn't you see her btm wobbling when she was dancing with the trawler men. Oh she's a little minx so she is.

Linda I have lost count on how many cardigans I have made, for the new baby. The last one I knitted, was in a fleck wool. Yes I managed to get some in the end.It's base colour is white, with Yellow, Blue, Green, Pink, Mauve flecks in it. That way I feel safer, just in case it is a boy rather than a girl as they were told at the twelve week scan. She has got her twenty week scan very soon, perhaps we may know for definate then.

Oh Rita, I bet it was a funny sight seing you all traipsing through the hospital, looking like the walking wounded.
What a shame Stacey had to cancel her op. It's always sods law isn't it, it's like waiting for a bus, you miss one and then two come along at the same time.

You're wearing the big bloomers??

If the G-string is lime green - it belongs to Marilyn.

PS.

Who do you think lost the 'G' String?

Pauline,

Those will be the ones I'm wearing just now!!!!!!!!!

I had run out of mine!

Couldn't find a bra to fit though!

You know what Sailors are like!!!!!!

Yes, these boards are definitely a lifeline for many people. I've read many posts that have brought tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat. But I've also cried with laughter at some of the posts. We have some lovely people on this site, always willing to help in any way they can.

It's sad that you've lost all of your family Stephen. Without your belief, it would have been much harder for you to cope with it. I also have a strong belief in a greater power and it helps me cope with the loss of loved ones. The lovely people on this thread have helped me get through a very bad time. We all try to help each other.

Rita, I couldn't help but laugh at the picture you painted of your family in the hospital. It's just as well they all have a sense of humour. This run of bad luck must end soon though.

By the way - Linda's telling fibs, those pink frilly nickers are hers. Mine are the very small black ones, don't know who those big bloomers belong to though.

Hi Stephen
I feel that as well I know i have friends on this friendly board and can PM them if I need help or speak to someone

like you I have lost my close family there is only my sister Sheila and myself I do have my children three of them all married and 11 Grandchildren but dont get to seem them that often. except for my sister.
I also have 11 Great Grandchildren. but the family seem to be having many troubles.
I had a year when I lost 6 members of the family all with cancer in 1968
I didnt think I would get through that but somehow I did.

It is weird as sometimes you wonder if someone is looking over your shoulder and telling you things .I often feel that someone is telling me what way to go. but then perhaps it is just me.?

You cannot change what fate has planned.I dont think I would want to know that.
My mother in Law use to say she could see things about her I use to joke with her and tell her to water the whisky.but I often wondered if she really could.?

So I count myself lucky that I have good friends I can speak too
and if you cannot laugh now and again you might as well give in.

Hope you have good weather it was sunny this morning now we have clouds and it is very windy the trees are bending nearly in half and I have not seen that for a longtime.

I think I will go and make myself a cup of tea.

Take care.

Rita

Rita,

I shouldn't really laugh but that must have look like something from a 'Carry On' film.

Yes! We often wonder when our troubles will end and also why we get so many at the same time.

I have lost all my family, 7 brothers, 4 sisters, Mum and Dad. They all went quickly, one after the other. I was numb with grief.

Even the family undertaker said he was getting to know me to well.

Dear close friends either died too young or have been killed in combat.

My belief in a Power greater than us helped see me through.

I have a real sense of humour and often call on that when things get tough.

And also I retreat to my own little space, both in reality and in my imagination.

It is always there for me, my place of solace and peace...
.my Tir-nan-Og.

I read these boards and realise how much pain some people have to endure.

I may not respond to the boards but my thoughts and prayers go out to them that post the notice.

GR is so much more than Family Research. For many it is a lifeline.

Stephen

Morning
Stephen I looked at it as well there is only one of me

Linda I have just posted a message on your Thoughts for the day.

I have to tell you this picture it as I write.
Megan is in St Thomases Hospital in London the family went to visit her yesterday.
My daughter RJ was on crutches she has achilles heel.her husband Steve was with his walking stick he has cancer as you know Megan's mother is on her crutches she has knee trouble and is an invalid. her brother Daniel injured his foot playing foorball so he had a limp and a stick.Megan wanted to show them the fish in the pond in the hospital so they put her in a wheelchair and Daniel managed to push her into the garden. they where halfway along when they saw a group of nurses and Doctor staring and they all broke out laughing my daughter said I stood there and explained what each person had.she said it was as if they had all been in the hospital as patients.The staff had a good laugh about it as well.
Just before Stacey left home to take Megan to the hospital she recieved a phone call telling her they had cancellation so she could have her a knee replacement done on Tuesday she has been on the list a long time she had to turn it down because of collecting Megan from the hospital and it would have left her husband looking after three children and he is not well they have given her another appointment to get it done next month meanwhile my daughter arrived home to get a phone call telling her her other Granddaughter Leah had fallen off the bunk bed and had been rushed into hospital she is home now. but how unlucky can a family get ?
we have had a laugh over it what else can you do. we are wndering what else is going to happen will this never end ?
