Frank you have to go to Ann Hessel now and delete her or just cross out all her info and save. Horace is coming up as her child and he is not.

Off for my shower now as I have the docs in the morning.

Hi Everyone,

A bit late but HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Mandy's hubby. :-D I bet you enjoyed your meal out with the family.

What a shame about poor Fiona. She must have really thought they would get to the bottom of the problem with the latest tests......so disappointing for her. I hope the next appointment comes quickly for her. :-D

David........I think they may be called 'chicken fillets' nowadays lol......not that I would know, ahem, having no need of them meself. ;-)

Well it looks like you have Christopher in the 'right' place on your tree now Frank! I see Auntie Mel has more 'homework' for you! lol.

I nipped out and bought another little shrub today, evergreen and grows only a foot high it says, called Red Candy and covered in pretty red berries.

Caught up with all the washing today........ :-D

Off to bed now, bead class tomorrow.....

Morning All and Evening Kim,

Nearly ready for the docs so thought I would pop in.

Frank you seem to have just made copies of the family on your tree. It looks like you have just put in Horaces father again and not changed the name in the appropreate box. Is it possible to delete everything past Horace ??? If not you may have to get in touch with GR and get them to do it for you.

Been raining here all night I think and is dull now and very wet. O the sun just popped out as I am typing.

Must go let the chickens out.

Morning/Evening All
Good luck at the Docs Mel....Lots of rain here in the night.It poured.Now it is dry but very dull.
I am going to have fun this morning having a look at some DVDs that we had converted from Videos.They arrived just now.I can't remember what they all are so it will be interesting.I know there may be a couple of the kids when they were in primary in their Xmas Plays etc,One is of the Cruise Janice Me and Mum went on back in 2000.Poor Mum had dementia and really had no idea where we were .She enjoyed the cruise at the time but the moment we were home she had forgotten that she had been :-(I have watched the video we took at the time and some of it is hillarious :-D :-D

I think I will put the kettle on and spend a hour just having a peek through them all.

Morning all/Evening Kim.

Mel, are you saying I should get rid of Christopher and Betsey. ??? Let me know before I contact GR.

Home alone again nice and quite NO T.V. Ros has gone to get her roots done, so I can do as I please. !!!

Damp misserable morning here, raining when I got up at 7.30 am Won't be straying far today.

Just had a big slice of Ham off the bone with two eggs, two slices of B & B and a pot of tea. I'm set up for the day. Got Sirlon steaks out for tonight. with Chips, mushrooms, onions, tomato's and pepper sauce.

Waiting for the post, I have ordered Madam another EIGHT lots of Gem stones, most are RED for Christmas Jewellery.

The "CROSS" was a joint effort of three/four of the group. Ros finished off with the sun rays and fitted the centre, so it's all done now, and ready to be hung at the window in the chapel. The Wedding Kneeler is work in progress.

Back now and when we got in one of the bantams was under the big ash tree and she was dead................................. I think it is Hoppy who was very old but can't be sure untill all the other come out of hiding under the box hedge.

Frank Report 5 Oct 2012 11:40

Oh poor thing Mel. Was it old age or had she been attacked by something.??

Mel Fairy Godmother Report 5 Oct 2012 11:41

Frank I just need you to get rid of everything past Horace for now and then we can put Christopher back in in the proper place. At the moment if you go to your tree you have Christopher on there twice because he is connected to two lots of rellies and they are all wrong and in the wrong places.

What's the current rate for a domestic cleaner?

Mel Fairy Godmother

Mel Fairy Godmother Report 5 Oct 2012 12:00

Think it was just old age Frank. She was stiff when I found her but still warm!!

Mel Fairy Godmother

Mel Fairy Godmother Report 5 Oct 2012 12:01

David I have no idea.

Maureen

Maureen Report 5 Oct 2012 14:35

I don't know either David but they are not cheap !!!!

I was looking forward to Celia Imrie on WDYTYA maybe she will be on next week.

It's great watching some of the old videos Jane, I have some of the kids when they were little, mostly in Spain, they cringe when watching them saying ....that's so embarrassing .... have some of Christmases too with my mum and dad on them.

This has been going on for a long time now for Fiona, I still think it might be something to do with that fall she had when she hit her head. Hope it gets sorted out for her.

Sorry Frank, meant to say thank you for the photos, Ros and co- workers have done a fantastic job on that cross.

Going to have look on the long range forecast for Tenerife, last time I looked it was showing rain for the week we are going. :-0

Does eight pounds an hour seem reasonable ?

Maureen

Maureen Report 5 Oct 2012 15:58

That was the sum I was thinking David £7 or £8 per hour.

Mel Fairy Godmother

Mel Fairy Godmother Report 5 Oct 2012 16:13

That sound reasonable to me too David. I used to pay £6 an hour my one and that was two years ago.

Frank

Frank Report 5 Oct 2012 16:31

David, I don't think we could get it for that around here. Why not put an advert in the local shop. CLEANER REQUIRED. and see who applies and ask them their rate. That way you won't be paying over the odds.

Maureen thats SODS LAW. But the way the forcasts are, you can take it with a pinch of salt. Where are you going, North or South ?? North is always wetter and colder. I have been to both, and wouldn't go back to the north. Much more greener but coolewr.

Jane, I bet you looked a bit different in your Vidios !!

I feel bored out of my brain. I have been reading most of the day. Ros is back now looking different with the BLOND hair. Television is on , and she's fast asleep in the chair. I think the Tele sends her off. :-D :-D :-D

I might go and see the lads up the club or down the pub tonight. Just to get out will be nice.

I won't start dinner till later tonight. As when she came in 3.45 pm she haden't eaten and got herself a roll ham and salad. She will never eat at 6.00 pm !!!

So Frank I have been trying to get you to do some tree and you have been doing other things..........

Maureen

Maureen Report 5 Oct 2012 17:25

Tut tut Frank, playing truant are you !!!!!

I'm going to the south Las Americanas, I went there about 4 years ago shouldn't think it has changed much.

It's quite funny looking at those old videos, the flared trousers and poodle perms :-D

Frank

Frank Report 5 Oct 2012 17:51

Mel, I have tried HONEST. but they won't let me :-0 :-0 :-0 Oh how I wish you could do it for me. !!

Maureen, I stayed in Las Americas, and the one round the coast, I can't think of the name. OLD AGE.

Hows Kim has anyone heard ???

Jane

Jane Report 5 Oct 2012 17:56

So much for me spending an hour this morning going through those videos.I couldn't get them to work on both mine and Chris's computers and I had no idea which buttons to press on the TV controls lol.So Chris popped in at lunch time and got out one of his laptops and they worked fine on that one.The only problem is that a couple of the Dvds seem to have been duplicated and a couple I really wanted haven't been done :-S :-S
Frank you only get a glimpse of me and Chris in a couple of the School Nativity ones.We looked so young and slim :-0 :-0.
I laughed my socks of at James in white tights,black shoes with big silver buckles and a red Polo top.He was a coachman with the carriage(cardboard one) in Cinderella :-D :-D :-D.
Hannah is in one when she was about 6 or 7 when her class went on a couple of days stay to some farm place in Derbyshire.She looked so sweet mucking out and wheeling a barrow full of poo covered straw.The wheel barrow was almost bigger than her lolol.Another of her about 14 in the school choir in America.

I gave Chester a shower just now as his is malting and I think quite itchy.You should have heard his excited barking.I needed ear plugs :-S.He is now curled up in a ball on the settee shivering,so I have covered him up in a fleecy blanket to try and warm him up .

James came home early from work feeling like poo.He certainly looked rough.It is a shame that he couldn't put Jess off coming for the weekend as she is already on her way and he has to pick her up from Northampton at 8.I said I hope you don't pass on whatever it is you have,and he said she already isn't well with a bad cold.
What a thrilling weekend they will have lol
