Liz my thoughts are let them come and dont do anything about your home if they dont like it hard boiled eggs to them.
Just forget it. I know it is hard but she is not the queen coming to tea.
tell them you cannot put them up. and they will have to make their own arrangments. dont set yourself back to square one. that will not help you. and it is not what you have done it is what you have had to do with your life. so cheer up put it all behind you.

things will sort themselves out.

so big hugs to you.

Hi All,

Never mind coming to me.....we got a task to do more important !!

LIZ just do not worry about anything .....let him or whoever do the tidying up I would rather have grief from OH than put all my strength into trying to please EVERYONE .......
Stop...... and think about yourself for a change tell them all to bugger off !! Maybe that's what they all need .....no softly softly touch anymore.

Liz you need US all there at that wedding.....we'll sort it.
Shelly will start organizing who's in charge in the Church and not to go and trample on the graves stones ...
I'll tell em all to shut up !!!
Rita can organize the food ...
Pauline can tell what shirt goes with what tie and be done with it !!
As for Mo She'll throw a few darts at who ever you wish to get rid off ...LOL
Linda will do name places and sit where she says , and no arguing ..
Yvonne will tell ALL guests that they have to respect YOU above all people .
Elizabeth will take gentle care of you through out the day .
Jean plays no part in this saga as we have to let her rest ....most important !!

All in all Job done ...LIZ xx

Hi all,

got to tell someone, I feel sick, just found a message on the ansaphone from the son in NY, the one there has been so much stress over, saying 'the family' felt strongly about his wife not being able to afford to come over for the wedding so they have got the money together and she got the last seat on the flight to come for the wedding. Not sure if he means her family or his mother, no doubt he has been whining to her. He has only just started working after over a year living off this woman and people here sending him money, their home was on the line, she has two daughters and yet coming here to upstage the bride is more important to them, what selfish people. There will now be pressure for the brother and his fiancee to put both of them up and all sorts of other knock on things like hotel bills for o.h. to pay no doubt.

O.h. will be stressing as he is working all hours up to the last couple of days before the wedding and this house is a tip, he hasn't done anything to the bathroom to finish it off, there is no way he will want her to see the house and the pressure will be all on me to sort things out and make it as tidy as poss. It just won't be possible to make an impression on it, there are things he should have done a year ago and didn't and I don't have magic wand. I have masses to do in other areas and just cannot take this last minute pressure. As always the spoilt brat of a son has got his way and my life will be hell, by the time of the wedding I will be exhausted from trying to sort every thing out and if I don't do it, I will; still get frief from o.h.

I must have been so bad in a past life to get this life I have now

Pauline your on I will need help with my packing, we can go minto Marilyns and have tea and cake. anyone else want to give me a hand just say so.
I spent the morning shopping and visiting a friend in her flat to admire her new bathroom she had done. then came back and made a bacon salad for lunch.I have spent the afternoon doing my "Take a Break " have you done your Mo and Liz yet ?
I am just going to make a cup of tea and look at Septembers History book see what they have in that.
It was quiet chilly when I went out this morning I suppose the hot weather has spolit t us now
I wonder how Jean has got on. been thinking of you Jean,

some useful information .
12th August saw the LAUNCH OF ECHO 1 NASA FIRST COMMUNICATION SATELETTIE
A Large metallised balloon it was use to reflect telephone radio and Television signals and at night it was visable to the naked eye.
see if you had not stopped to read this thread you would not have learned about that.


Lol
Rita.

Morning everyone.

It's very dark here, looks like we're in for a downpour.

Rita, do you need a hand with your packing? We'll all help you with the move..............as long as we get invited to the housewarming party and get to stay overnight. Half of us will stay at your house and the other half will pop next door and stay at Marilyn's house.

There you go Marilyn, after we get Rita settled in - we'll help you with your lappy, you'll know more than Pete by the time we leave.

Jean, you were on here at 3.33, were you still up or had you been to bed? One more day after today and another week is over for you. Just keep thinking of your 2 days off.

My son is a little better today thank you, it only hurts if he moves his shoulder or neck quickly.

Enjoy your cuppa and chat this morning Linda...............I still think your days are longer than mine..........lol

No one else here yet so I'll just ~~~~~~~~~~~ to you all ...

Marilyn, Linda, Rita, Jean, Shelly, Mo, Yvonne, Elizabeth, Liz, Lady, Sue, Stephen - hope I didn't miss any names off.

Morning ALL

Marilyn I will have to tell you this I dont think your like it but I have written out a cheque for the house next door to you I had a job getting all the noughts on the end but I managed. so Hi Neighbour

Lol

Jean hope things go OK for you today. look forward to getting home and wandering around your garden.

Funny no one seems to want a big spider. ? I womnder why ? what I cannot understand is why I am getting these biggies this year I get small ones which I can put up with but not these biggies. I must have a nest of them somewhere.
Linda are you going swimming then ?
It is overcast hre this morning. I want to pop over to the paper shop and get my Chat and Take a Break. books.
Mo I posed last weeks competitions off might win then I might not.
This GR site is very slow this morning.

Love
Rita

Morning Jean, another day will soon be over of your treatment. Hope it is nice for you to get in the garden this afternoon.
Not looking too promising here at the moment. Still overcast and looking rather damp. Hopefully it will brighten up.
Yes we did get out yesterday and also popped in at a friends with some vouchers for half price swimming at a local pool. She is pleased as she has 3 young children and they went last week for £10 and spent over 2 hours in the water !!! They will come to play next week too. I did look after the little boy for a few months while Mum worked in the pre-school.
A friend is coming for a cup of tea and a chat this morning.
So the glue etc will have to stay away til this afternoon.

Have a good day

Linda :o) XxX

Morning everyone, hope you all had a peaceful night.
It is still dark here, but at least it is dry. hope it stays dry and warm today, want to do some tidying up in garden when I get home.
Rita, I dont like spiders either but my cat loves to chase them, I think he thinks they are toys for him.
Pauline, I do hope your son is feeling better today, and painfree.
Linda, I bet your little love enjoys her time with you, did you go to feed the ducks yesterday?
~~~~~ Shelly, Marilyn, Lady,Yvonne, Liz and Steve, and anyone else who may look in.

Take care today.
Jean xx

Hi Everyone,

I have been busy making curtains for my hallway as my new front door didn't like the old ones !! LOL

Mo ,no new neighbours yet, as they cant sell their house mind you they want £800 thousand for it , or £2 thousand a month for rental. Now who on earth has that sort of money here in Devon , it has mainly retired folk living where I am.
So its going to be empty for a long time ....

Shelly, you will have to come down here to Devon and show me a few things on Lappy .Pete not got patience for me he has for everyone else ,I wonder why ????..... I think I cheek him back too much & frighten him ..lol
Think you'll need Pauline with you as you might get lost !!! LOL

Now look at the time I should be in bed ,I'm on my own ...

Nite speak tomorrow ...xx

Edit ..Hi Pauline didn't see you there !

Just popping in before I go to bed.

I'll get the cups out for in the morning.

And Liz, if you sneak in during the night and use the cups...........wash them up after you. And don't drink Lady's coke.

o and you all have been chatting for england today

you will not beleive this ? I got my foot stall out as my feet were aching I had a small doggie basket on the stall with two big furry dogs in it. as I moved the baskets a great big spider jumped out and ran like mad under the DVD cabinet. I dont know who got the biggest shock me or him. ? I think I will walk about with my slippers on now.
so now I am watching where I walk. anyone want a big spider. ?

It has been a lovely day today. it was cloudy after lunch and I thought rain we are in for that but it passed and the sun came out and still is at this time of night.

I wondered what tomorrow will bring. ?

have a good day dont forget if I get the lottery up tonight we will have a big party.

Rita

Nearly half way then Jean, I bet you will be glad when it's over and done with. And god willing, it will be good news.
What did you decide to have for your tea. We had spaghetti bolognese, and at the moment I am so full up, I feel like I would burst if someone stuck a pin in me. Not a nice feeling, but it serves me right for making such a pig of myself.

Rita, I had to chuckle, I had visions of you as a bag lady, taking all those clothes to the charity shop. There must have been loads of them, if you could not get them out of the trolley very easily.
You made my mouth water talking about the lemonade and ice cream.
I used to love doing that with coke. And as kids we called it a coke float, it was my dads treat to us.

Linda, are you stuck to the table after all the glueing, and painting. I bet little one enjoyed herslf.
Did it stay dry enough to go and feed the ducks.

Pauline, we will have to get in the queue, for Rita to come and clear our wardrobes out.
I bet between the lot of us, we could have held our own jumble sale. lol
I hope that B's neck is feeling easier now. It's so easy to put your neck out without realising it. Poor B I feel for him, extra cuddles I think don't you.

Marilyn, how sad about your neighbours. Had they been married very long.
You will miss them. Does that mean you will have new neighbours soon.

Wheres our Shelly got to today, she's not still up your tree is she Maz.
Hi Yvonne, Lady, Liz

Hello everyone, hope you have had a good day, sounds as though you have all been very busy.
Pauline, am sorry your son is in pain, hope he is soon feeling better.
Mo, am nearly at the end of my third week, it has gone quite fast. only another 4 weeks. [I hope]
Am just trying to decide what to have for my tea, although at the moment am not really hungry.
Wishing you all a peaceful evening.
Take care.
Jean xx

I am back I had a little sleep after my lunch as I felt tired. not use to all this shopping and rushing about
I fet better after my forty winks so much so I did the ironing and it is all put away now. BLISS.
I then did myself a cold drink. you will never guess what l did I pour some lemonade into a tall glass and drop a scoop of ice cream in it. I felt like a kid again. it was lovely.
I am going to read this month WDYTYA magazine well Septembers my friend brought it over to me yesterday.
Rita

Pauline,

I hope he's not in too much pain as I trapped a nerve in my shoulder 2yrs ago just moving some clothes into the dryer in the garage ,and I ended up having to stay in bed for a week ! Then every day at the practitioner having acupuncture every day........ The pain was terrible, I missed a wedding because of it !!
The dam clothes I did cursed them,no end ...LOL

I'm about to go out now,I need a walk somewhere its still lovely and sunny.

Just put another load of washing on the line as I may have visitors the weekend, so I have freshened up my spare room sheets.

Oh Rita, I could do with you sorting out my wardrobe, I take things out and then put them back again.

I think you do great on your computer, a lot of people your age wouldn't know how to turn it on.

Marilyn, the gedcom is easy, it's just download from here and upload to there. Your whole tree would be on there for you.

My micro does all kinds of things but I only use one setting all the time, never even used the grill on it. Same with the DVD recorder, it came with a thick instruction book but I only read the bit about recording to the hard drive. When the hard drive gets full I'll have to read how to move things onto discs. I only read it when I need to know it!

Don't know what he's done to his neck, it happened yesterday afternoon, one minute he was showing his care worker how to do a puzzle - the next minute he was shouting out in pain. I was only a few feet away from him but I had my back to him. Maybe he just turned his head quickly and trapped a nerve or muscle or something.

well Marilyn I can tell you I am thicker than you really takes me ages to do anything new on the computer. once I get the heng of it I am Ok but it takes a while.

I have been to the shops the chemist told me the bood tests would be affected by the idone injections which I have with my scan thats the warfarin as it is very s enstive but the Steriods one is Ok so I left it as that I will go on the day and have them done and explain about the Warfarin one.
life is never easy is it ?

I am busy preparing a salad for my lunch today..I did not feel like eating meat so I have done two boiled eggs to have with it.

I took my trolly loaded with items fom my wardrobe to the charity shop this morning we had a job getting it out of the shopping trolley it was packed tight but my wardrobe is lovely now I can move things along the racks..

Rita

Pauline........don't confuse me MORE ....LOL

Wouldn't know what a Gedcom was ...!!!

Now I only know simple tactic's like from left to right...anything else goes over and above my head

If you knew how long it took me to conquer this lappy for my genealogy you would never believe me.
I can be a good detective though in research...BIG HEAD ..LOL
Although I'm clever with my hands in crafts, hair dressing, and designing drapes etc etc. I'm NO good at knobs or anything that is mechanical.

Thats why I have plain Micro & Washing machine.

All in All I'm THICK .....LOL

Now how do you think Brent got that poorly neck ? Thats nasty ,have you got some Deep Heat Treatment Pauline ? maybe he slept awkwardly during the night.

I'm off .....back later...
