I am as bad as you Rita,for putting things away and forgetting about them.
I went into my sewing box two days ago,and found a ring a friend had given me for christmas,about five years ago. Don't ask me how it got in there,as I have not got a clue. It was lying right at the bottom off the box.
It's a little ring with an opal in it,and is lovely. How could I not have missed it.

Rita, that wall hanging sounds nice, what a lovely idea for your hubby's family.

Shelly, were you sleeping again last night? It's not like you to go to bed early on a Friday night.

No wonder Marilyn goes on holiday a lot, it's the only way she gets a break from babysitting. Plus, she has to keep her nails intact.

Who ate all the buns that Mo left out? Unless she's put them in her sewing box and forgot about them.

Morning all
I have been upset this morning when I heard the fighting had started in Afganistan I keep thinking of the families of these men and women, my Grandson has not gone out there yet due to go this will be his second time.

Mariyln did you know that The Plymouth and West Devon Public Records office is facing an uncertain furture having been deemed and unsuitable Home for The National Archives the Histroical manuscripts stored since 1998 they have been given till 2013 to improve their storage conditions if not there is plans to remove it all to Cheshire salt mine for their self preservation, and the Brighton Centre is threatened with clousure in March
I wonder why they keep doing this when more and more people are doing family research soon we will only be able to get information on line.

Morning girls

It was good experience to go yesterday, just to get the feel of what is to come, looking in the court room etc. The barrister seems to be well experienced, but it will all be down to what the jury decide

Will i never get a bit of peace ?
I went out to shop this morning got back to find two letters from hospitals on my mat one from the Ashford Hospital who have made an appointment for me to have another CT scan done two weeks time at 9 in the morning.
so I have written and told them I will be away then for a week and that there must be a mistake as my last CT scan done two weeks go said no change and I was told by the consultant that I didnt have to have one done till two weeks before I go back to the hospital in May.
so I have to wait and see what happens that will mean I had two CT done in four weeks.
Then I got a letter from St Peters from the Rheumatoligist saying I need to have regular checks on my ESR whateveer that is ? I have Hyperuricameia.
do any of you want any of my complaints.
I have to wait now to see what happens. I told my sister book our holiday nothing is going to stop me having a holiday with all these appointments going on.

Rita,you go out and enjoy yourself. But don't look on the black side,we expect to see you posting for years yet.
We popped to one off our daughters today,so that Roly could change the
room thermostat for them. The one they had was completely K**c*ered,and their house was so cold,my poor grandchildren were walking round with quilts around them,to keep warm.
It's as warm as toast in their house now.
