Lol. Was he ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) Jane!! The price does add up if you include a few of the extras. What disappointed me when I started to wear them was knowing I'd probably have to buy more after 2 years!! :-0

Six hundred pounds??

He could have laser surgery for that.

Anyone remember when some one would start the day coughing over his / her first cigarette the some one else would join in then another :-S

The dawn chorus they called it.

Ralph used to have a serious morning cough until his cancer scare,
He doesn't smoke now nor does he cough.
He's 64 on Wednesday All Saints Day

That's a nuisance your eye flaring up again Jane. I hope the cream does the trick again.

I was wondering how Ralph was these days David. Good he got rid of his smoker's cough along with the fags! Does he use his computer at all now? How did you get on with your online course people........I think you said last that you had emailed them?

Off to the land of NOD now....well I hope it is. :-S

Ooooooo The Paradise is getting good!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the pumpkin pics Frank and what a smashing lad Lewis is.

Hedgie has been out tonight. When he had eaten his food tonight I tried it on dried cat food. Oh saw him out again and the dried food had gone so I put mealworms out as I could hear him russleing in the leaves up the edge of the garden in the dark bit that the light dos'nt reach.

Shirl I do hope your back gets better soon. There is nothing worse than back ache and not know what to do with yourself.

I forgot to tell you about that loose tooth I HAD. It did come out the other day all on it's own and with no pain at all. What is worrying me now is there was nothing much wrong with the actual tooth. It had never been filled so I think it is now time for me to buck up the courage to go and have my teeth seen to.

Jane I would love to see Hannah's scans please?

So Chris has new glasses and I think it is about time I too had new ones. I seem to have bent mind somewhat and one side (the right) is much lower than the other side. I may have taken off a jumper without removing them first. It is quite annoying as I can see the top of the lens on the right hand sideand keep pushing them up!! :-S

Turned very cold indoors tonight but it dos'nt feel that cold outside. Strange..........................

Mandy your son is doing really well. It dos'nt seem three weeks since you told us he had given up. I am afraid i am smoking again as the electric ciggy gave me a sore tongue. I do still use it but not all the time.

I also don't smoke as much as I used to. Only about twelve a day now and it used to be at least 20 to 25. Don't smoke indoors either so if I or oh wants one we have to go outside.

Off now so see you all in the morning.

Night night............

Yes Ralph uses his computer still Ann.
Likes to keep abreast of the news especially football.Likes astronomy as well.
It's his anniversary again tomorrow.There's been a huge improvement in his health over the last couple of years.
He likes to rock n roll.Always been a fan of the Rolling Stones,went to see them at St Jame's Park one time You could hear that stadium rocking miles away.I remember on another occasion he went to see Tina Turner in concert at Gateshead Stadium.

Morning David and All and evening Kim,

David I love Tina Turner, what a wonderful energetic woman.

Dullish here today.

Last night I was looking at videos of hedgehogs. They were so cute. They had one with it's babies. Must find the link again and you can have a look for yourselves. Mandy the nippers would love some of them. Most are from America and are special breeds of hog.

Morning/Evening All

I always regret not getting to see the R Stones and also the Who.Two of my all time favourites.

Don't know what haqppened there, but lost the lot again.

Hi gals and guys. Sorry I haven't been around, lots on here at the moment.

Just wanted to thank Frank for all his humourous emails, keeps me smiling. Espeically liked the Chinese school girls orchestra playing Sing Sing Sing. Man, they rocked! It was great to see swing cross all cultures and the reaction would have been the same anywhere in the world. The looks on their faces when they finished the number was a great. Cracking stuff, Gromit.

Right I will try again.

Ros and Le.is have been and come back from the cinema.

Laura had arrived at 1.15 pm while they were our. I rang Ros and got an earfull for interrupting the film. She said people were looking at her while the phone rang. But it went straight to answer phone. So don't know what happend.


Have sent a couple of Photo's, If I missed anyone let me know.

Started off nice this morning, then came the rain. Lights and heating on.

Nice casserole of beef in the oven,, ticking over slowly. Carrot and swede mash, Cabbage and Mashed potato's Smells great. Should be well ready by 6.00 pm

Glad you liked the eMail Will, I haven't sent you Baby photo !!!


Do hope you feel better Shirl/Fiona.

Can't consentrate on this, as the girls are rabbiting away in the background.

Get back later.

The baby has arrived, 12.45 pm today, a little girl, daughter is over the moon, she really wanted a girl as they only planned on having two children, now they have one of each, perfect, don't know the weight as daughter phoned me before they had weighed her, they are calling her Chloe Eve.

Thanks for the photos Frank and Pat, Lewis is turning into a handsome young man, and your grandchildren are lovely Pat, the one on the end is it Molly looks like you.

Good to hear Ralph is doing well David, it has taken a while but sounds like he is really on the mend.

Are you off to Lanzerote soon Pat, a friend has just come back she said it had been raining for the last couple of days so hopefully by the time you get there it will be nice and sunny again :-D I'd love to be back in Tenerife. Have a wedding next year too, my son, their colour scheme is purple. Have a look in Coast they have some really nice dresses. Try them on and if there's one you like see if you can get it on E.Bay. That's what I did, brand new with labels on at half the price.

Congratulations Maureen on the safe and happy arrival of your new G Daughter Chloe Eve.Another very pretty name :-D :-D

Just quickly now as I am in the middle of sorting some things out......The work will begin on getting back to normal on Monday.Hopefully to be complete by next Friday :-D :-D.He originally said it would take 11 days so I'm not sure how it has gone down to 5 :-S.I will be without my cooker probably for most of that time so will have to do a bit of pre planning I think.A couple of meals I can microwave ,and a couple of takeaways.
Must go BBL

Congrats from me too.. Sounds a lovely name, Hope mum and baby are fine, also DAD.

Lara has gone home now, CAN SHE TALK. These modern kids. !!!!

A little peace and quite now, Ros has gone off to Tesc# and taken Lewis with her.

Chelsea are playing tonight, so I HAVE TO GO TO THE PUB. so he can see it. Poor old me, and the weather like this. !!!

Dinner smells great, the meat will be so tender when it's done. I think I might put a rice pudding on the bottom shelf. It will have two hours to cook.

Congrates on the new baby grandaughter Maureen and as Jane said another pretty name. Can I please be Fairy Godmother????

Been dry most of the day but a bit cloudy. Sun tried to break through this morning but did'nt succeed and now it is siling down here.

What I want to know is who is left handed on this thread???? :-)

CONGRATS MAUREEN ON ARRIVAL NEW G-DAUGHTER IS CHLOE NAMED AFTER SOMEONE?--ITS OUR FIRST HALLOWEEN BABY ON HERE YES?

NICE PICS FRANK DID YOU PUT SOPHIE TO SLEEP ;-)

I'm a bit of both Mel as my mum was totally left handed she would lay the table left handed so I automatically picked up the knife with the left hand she always left the tea towels and hankies for me to iron that was set up left handed too and I still iron left handed. One of my girls and one of my brothers girls are left handed too, must run in the family.

Thank you for your good wishes, little Chloe Eve will be lucky to have a fairy godmother, that will be quite a few you have now Mel, another due around Christmas, Fiona's daughter.

Enjoy the footie Frank, the things we do for our grandchildren ;-)
