Hi Everyone.
Iv'e been on the computer to this afternoon, doing some research on my Steven ancestors who were born here in the same town where I live. One of them a young girl of 20 marries a fellow then has twin girls who die with in the next 2 years and then she and her family emigrate to canada where her husband become a gold prospector , unfortunatly my ancestor has another 2 babies and dies shortly after the second one is born, her husband re-marries and I find one of his decendants has written his story about his gold prospecting days and I found it on the webb really interesting to read.

Frank ,I never get drunk lol ,just maybe a little tipsy ;-)I did get drunk when I was in my teens!!!.Not sure how I survived really when I think back.But I am here to tell the tale (as they say)..
I think I will pack my wellies!!!!.Sunday looks pretty grim.I just want at least one good day to see the Puffins on Farne Islands.(Must pack sea sick tabs) :-S :-S
I think I have just about done my packing .Lots of interruptions this afternoon.Fitz returning the hair drier and staying for 1and a half hours ,then my Sister ringing.I'm all over the place lol.I do get very stressed when getting ready to go away,and I know I drive everyone nuts.
I will chill once we are in the car and are on the way.

Fiona that is just such a sad story about your ancestors.But fascinating at the same time.
Must get on (again) :-(,and I have to think about dinner too!!!!.

Ellen's been telling me some thing rather sad.
A young couple with 2 children bought a bungalow we looked at.

Seems the husband (I'm told) had a flu vaccination recently.
Somehow or another he has become paralysed.

Oh David
that is sad, what a shock for his wife & Kids,

I'm off to bed, hope the weather is better tomorrow it has poured most of the day but felt quite close.

night night everybody
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

David ,that is awful for the poor man and his family.Seems a strange time to have a flu jab though.
Well I have driven Chris away to bed,as he got fed up with me cleaning things lol.I know I am an absolute pain before going away.It's like something comes over me and I have to start a spring clean !( well not quite)
It is so strange without Chester here.No-one needs to stay up to let him out for a wee .
I will pop in quickly in the morning before we go.

Jane

Hello all,

Half sunny, half cloudy and much cooler. Just got the sheets out while the breeze is blowing.

Pat thank you for those photos. I love your new kitchen and the red panels. It has all come up beautifully. You must be so happy because it was a real mess beforehand. Cupboards and the long handles look great and the gray tiles complement everything. Well done girl!!!!

Mandy such a pretty photo with the butterfly perched right in the middle and all the lovely colours. You have a really nice garden.

Jane enjoy your break with Chris. I must Google to see where you are going. OO ROO means goodbye or farewell. Poor Chester is going to miss his mummy. Hope you got all the packing done eventually. Safe travelling!!

David that is sad for the young man and his family. I have heard of that happening before and I know a few out here it has happened to. Long recovery and hospitalisation sometimes. Poor fellow!!!

OH washing windows at the moment so they are clean for next Saturday's party. Glenda's birthday tomorrow. Keith popped out and bought her a card and some flowers. I hope she can enjoy her day, first birthday without Rod. She has really gone into a shell, isolating herself completely from all of us. I miss her!!!

Frank would love some of your energy. Must go and fold some washing. I get the guilts a bit when I spend too much time on here.

Have a good day - Ann must be due back soon??? 3.16 pm EST

Morning,

Well I got up this morning and was sure it was Sunday :-S

Not raining but sull with grey skies.

Just about ready for the off now.It is very muggy here !really sticky.The car is nearly packed ,I just need to get the few last bits now.
So I will say Bye Bye xxxx
Be good now while I am away. ;-) ;-)

Mandy you clever girl taking a smashing pic of that butterfly.

Worked up the tunnel yesterday and put a load more stuff out on my table. It is so full now I can't get anymore on it.

Hope all aches and pains are better for you lot today than they were for me last night!! My poor little feet ached likke anything.

Hope Jane has a nice rest away in Northumberland and the weather is kind to them. Safe journey.

Think Ann is back today.

Kim don't overdo it.

Morning/Afternoon,

Funny sort of day here. Very windy and clouds rolling passed. Quite warm outside.
We have got a line of washing out, so have to keep an eye on it.

Ros feeling very sicky this morning, she can't understand why. Nothing she has eaten different to me.

Pat, Sorry about my JOKE. the kitchen looks wonderful, and bright and airy.

I thought our Jane was going to be on the road by nine this morning ???
Behind like a puppy's tail.

Mel, I trust your poor little tootsies are feeling a bit better today. Give them a good soak, and cream them up. Wear some cotton socks, and try not to walk on them to much today.

Afternoon Everyone
Oh dear to late to say goodbye to Jane , hopes she has a nice break off to my part of the country. well almost!!!! I had ancestors who came from Northumberland.
Lunch time

BBL

I am waiting for youngest son to arrive with family..
My friend who broke her ankle husband has just popped around to bring me some plants to put in the garden..He say she is driving him mad but I think they are as bad as each other..

They didnt put a full cast on (walking one ) when she went back ..got to try again next week..so she cannot get about... She is like me likes to be active...

Fiona...if you would like to see photos of my finished kitchen message me your email address please...

Thank you for your comments on my kitchen ...I am very pleased with it now

Sunshine and showers today, at least it stayed dry this morning while I was wandering around the boot sale. I shall really miss them after next month as they stop until next March, don't like the indoor ones, too cramped.

Hope Jane got off alright, fingers crossed the weather will be kind, although an umbrella won't be much use if we get the winds the forecasters are promising.

Not worth starting anything now so I think I'll try and print a photo off of my grandaughter, have a shelf with photos of all the grandchildren on but Charlotte is very elusive, doesn't like her photo taken but I'm sure I've got one on this computer somewhere, bought a lovely frame this morning too.

I got a letter from my Doctor yesterday inviting me to allend a flu vaccination clinic next Thusrsday evening or Saturday morning.

Thank I will pass on it.

If it's been a bad batch of vaccine caused the mans problem,the Doctors who used it ought to advise those who received it?

Afternoon everyone,

Been out most of the day at sisters while hubby did some plastering for them ,its so muggy here , we're off out tonight with sister and BIL for a meal ,certainly won't need a jacket on.

Pat ,your kitchen looks smashing ,what a difference in the before and after photo's !!! you have every right to be pleased with it !!

Mel, i was pleased with the butterfly photo ,its not easy to get a close up like that they usually fly off , i don't know what sort it is , Frank thought it might be a moth , Anne would probably know.
I'd give your feet a good soak in some salt water , that will help them , SIL always swore by salt water , her hubby once asked her if she had shares in a salt mine !!!LOL

Hope everyone has a good evening , off to sort out what to wear for tonight, might be on later if we're not to late home .

HI ALL --BEEN IN A BIT OF A SLUMP((EASY FRANK) AND THIS COMP NOT MUCH HELP CANT HERE MY CALLERS ON SKYPE SOUND GOING,AND GR AGAIN SAYS WRONG PASSWORD ######

LUCKY DUCKS XX SORRY I'VE BEEN TO LATE BUT HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD TIME AND DO GET DRUNK AND DISORDERLY------

GOOD JOKES FRANK XXX WHATS THIS ROS NOT FEELING WELL AGAIN?

WE HAVE A VERY HOT DAY WILL BE IN THE 20'S ALL NEXT WEEK ,
BUT SOME LEAVES ARE NOW TURNING--- COULD BE INDIAN SUMMER.

MANDY WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PIC THANK YOU . WHAT KIND OF ''BF' IS THAT ?

GO MONDAY FOR SOME MORE BLOOD TEST'S ( DIABETES ) AND OTHER STUFFFFFFFFF

So you are getting as bad as Fiona, Mandy. Always out and about. Hope you enjoyed your meal. By now you will be tucking in !!

When we had a cold, mum would put our feet in a mustard bath. (BOWL) If it did any good I don't remember.

David, We are booked for our flu jabs first week of October. Have never missed it, so won't start now. Must have been unusual for someone to be affected by it. !!!

Weather forcast not good for Northern England and Scotland for the next few days. Jane will be blown back to Kettering if she not carefull :-D :-D :-D

Red and Black on TV followed by X factor. Good old Ebay will keep me company for a couple of hours.

Missed you Shirl, Hope everything goes well with Blood tests.

Ros Thinks these new PAIN PATCHES have something to do with her feeling sick. There are so many side effects from them, and sickness is one.
The strenght of them is 20 mg. which is about as high as you can have, and she put a new one on this afternoon.

I'm sure the risk of a vaccine is minimal Frank.

Ive only ever had 2 in my life and on both occasions I got the symptoms of a cold soon afrweward.
