Morning All,

Dull again today and quite cold. Grey skies with just a little blue showing through now and then between.

Frank how's the cold this morning? Hope you feel a bit better today and Ros too.

I did'nt watch the child beggers. I watched a tiny bit and then turned over.

Oh has his flu jab at 10.15am and mines on Monday with my other bits!!

Had a job to get to the last pages again today. I try to read all the posts before posting myself.

Still can't get pooter to get into anywhere where I can send pics from. So annoying.

Morning All

Dry and cold this morning, OH left home about 5.45, am to get the taxi to go for the train , going to Crew but will be back later this evening,

I'm going out with daughter no 1& Sofia,
this afternoon
I promised I would go shopping with her for Sofia's winter boots and I want to get her wellies , we have a huge area of grass near us and it's good for playing ball on but it's soggy at the moment and you need wellies on to play.
Daughter was concerned that when I go in for my operation , it might be a few weeks before I can go out shopping again, so we better go now while I still feel well enough,

Off to wash my hair,
BBL

Have a nice day shopping Fiona. Hope you get some pretty welies for Sophia. They make some lovely ones now for children.

Morning all,

Lovely sunny day ,quite warm coming through the conservatory window ,not so warm when you step outside !!

How are you doing today with your Man Flu then Frank ? hope your feeling a bit better today .

Fiona, there's some lovely little Wellies for the little ones ,Katie has a pair of Pep*a Pig ones , is Sofia a little better ? Katie seems to be getting better.

Should have had the family coming for tea today but its been changed for tomorrow now , son has been off work with a cold and he thought it would be better for him to keep away for another day to make sure he didn't give it to us .

Mel, those photo's, when i went to the camera to take them the battery needed charging !!! so i'll take them later , the camera's on charge now .

Coffee time i think.

Finally got on here. Have not been able to get to the last page for hours, keep getting the error message.

Hello everyone, been another lovely day here. The snakes are on the move already - two dogs were bitten by red bellie black snakes last week. They came across from the reserve and into the yard. Boths dogs are fine after a visit to the vet. I don't want them coming into our yard and settling themselves into a sunny spot :-S We have had centipedes, spiders and all manner of crawlies in the house recently. Not nice!!!!!!!!!

Frank hope you are feeling better and your snizzle has stopped running. Too much dancing at midnight under the full moon????? That young fellow had a lucky escape - what a terrible accident!!!

Her Majesty touched down yesterday in Canberra, marvellous woman for her age, puts me to shame. Julia and her First Bloke were there to meet the plane. Isn't that a terrible title, coming from our media of course (as bad as the baby bump, a saying I can't stand)!!!!!!! The queen won't be visiting Sydney this time. She is still as popular as ever, but I thought it so rude that our Prime Minister did not even curtsey to her.

Someone asked me if my daughter is still living here and the answer is yes and she is attending her usual school and started Year 12 work. I think she got worried she might be required to help out if she lived at the other house.

Enjoy your day shopping Fiona.

I was such a screamer, they were always pushing me around the neighbourhood in my pram to get me to sleep, in any weather. My mother used to sit on the front verandah and fold my nappies while I slept all day in my pram. I was a terrible baby, lol ;-)

Hope you all have a good day, getting pretty tired so I will say tata everyone.

10.12 pm EST

Afternoon all,

Not much better this morning, head still swimming, nose running and sore throat.

Was in bed by 10 last night, read for a while, took my sleeper, but was still awake snorting and sneezing till 2.30am Woke this morning at 6.30. with a mouth like the bottom of a bird cage. After a couple of cups of tea and my tablets, my head feels a bit better.

All showered and shaved, clean dressing gown, and another lazy day, on the cards.

I think these travellers are no more than thugs. The way they treated the police yesterday, and they were only doing their job. They are there ililegally after all said and done. You, nor I would have been allowed to stay there for TEN YEARS. Im sorry if they don't like it go back to where they came from.

As for the child beggers, I would round the whole lot up and put them on the first boat back. I could not believe the conditions (VILLAS) they lived in, We worked all our lives, and haven't got a quater of what they have, and all though working our system.!!! I would love to run this Country for 12 moths, THERE WOULD BE CHANGES. Now I have had my say, I will move on.

Clear blue sky's againb this morning, haven't been out so don't know what the temp. is like.

Have a good day out Fiona, Our little step grand daughter, was bought a new pair of wellies the other weekend when we were in Rutland. She put them on in the shop and wouldn't take them off. and it was a nice sunny day :-D :-D :-D

Ann I didn't know they were cutting the heating allowance. Our heating costs are quite high anyway, as we are both home all day, and one thing I won't be is cold.

Ros has bought me a new pillow, It's so large, she will have to get some new pillowslips as none we have got will fit it

Is Chris. still wanted for service Jane, or is that the end of it. ??

Going to make a LEMSI# and take another couple of headache tablets.

See you later.

Well just typed a long thread and accidently deleted it. Anyway it was a bit too long.

I took Jasper to the vet this morning .I was charged another thirty pound and the vet gave me some steroid tablets for an itching problem and his cream for the scabby lower funiture. Michelle said she is thinking of taking them to the small claims court. But how do you prove they did Jaspers injury only my word against theres. They say they did not.

My mum did me cheese and beetroot sandwiches but I used to take off the top piece of bread and remove the beetroot and liked the taste of where it had been on the cheese. what a waste of beetroot.
Oh the very mention of prams and being put outside. My mum always told the story of me strangling the kitty that jumped into my pram from the small wall where I had been placed. I was three years old and I choked the poor kitten. I felt like a cat murderer. Big brother threw leaves in my face also.

Alice in Wonderland Shirl cannot see me falling down a small hole in a tree. More like the Mad Hatter. Me. I would love to be the Cheshire Cat.

We have a spider roams the lounge at night and flys get squibbed and do not die right away and my ho moans that I am cruel I sould finish them
off properly .Instead of flicking them down the plug hole. I do try to get them out the window first.

Well at lloclock I went into the shop to serve for one hour .I had been in 10 minutes and a man came in with a huge tray of sausages .He tried to sell me some but none of us eat it now. He bought some cans and crisps and stuff and put in his card and I could not read his signiture so asked him what his name was it was Abdul Kookabanger. I tried not to laugh but did
and he said it s a K not a C. I said ok my ho was laughing behind him and I had a job to put the card through the machine

Kim I am so glad your blood test was ok and do hope you are not in pain today also Ros and Frank how is the cold.

Our one and only plant is still flowering a huge bush very fine with bright pinky purple daisy like flowers. Its lovely but goes on forever.

Fiona it is nice to get a bit off your hair.
Maureen it sounds interesting what you and your son are doing.

Jane hope your doggie will be ok having those lumps removed. The vet said Jasper had some sores on his ears and it was fleas so just got some stuff to spray the furniture and carpets. I managed to get a lotion also Aloe Vera to put on the lug holes.

My neighbour the rude women came in the shop and said Sheila can you look after my granson for an hour I said no I am too busy connecting with my husband she went very red and said give me some polo mints .She then slammed down the money and stormed out of the shop.

Our vet told me today that the Posh Pets grooming man owed such a lot of money he would not pay they told him not to come again .He said he was not happy with their treatment of his sick doberman doggie. That would explain his comments to me that they gave the wrong diagnosis when I phoned when he had damaged Jasper. But I can amagine if I refused to pay my bills they would sue

Jessica phoned and said Mum I want Christmas in England one last time would it be ok to stay with you with the kids until the end of January. I said yes it would ber unfair to refuse when I have such a short time with them .
April said gee gramps thats great . I hate the American brogue. I said April can we have less of the American grammer and more of the english language while your here. It went silent then she said. Wee ma petite.I said is it not mon petite and she said thats a boy silly. Does anyone know French could not argue with her. Did not have the energy.

The sun is shining so going to walk Jasper and chill out with a book when I get back. I have a novel about a women who is a ghost and how she manages to change the estate she was born into many moons ago. Her uncle Cedric is the owner . The manor house that should have gone to her and now is being run by four very old nasty sisters.

Book sounds good Sheila!

OH up the church trying to sort out what needs doing to the boiler for the central heating. It has to have a pipe welded and he wants chris the welder to clean the cabinet up too. It is uder floor hot air heating.

I feel a bit down today as this time last year was the day mum died.......................................................

Frank make sure you can take lemsip with the tabs you are on and also you should'nt take pain killers with lemsip as they have them in it anyway.

I can't have any of the cold remedies now I am on tablets.

Well ,look at the time.Nearly 5 o'clock and this is the first time I have been on the pooter today !!.
I decided not to turn it on until I had done all I needed to do.Rachel,Darren and Ethan will be here in the morning.I just need to dust the lounge ,but that wait until first thing.

Mel I can believe it is 12months since you lost your Mum.I was thinking it was neared Xmas. You are allowed to feel down today.Tomorrow will be better.

Sheila I think you might have lost your argument with April.I think she was correct with her French lol.She is a clever little girl.

In the paper to today it was saying some wicked b****** threw a pregnant cat in a bag out of a moving car .Luckily someone saw it happen and saw the bag moving.I can never understand people who can do that kind of thing.Also someone is dumping live rabbits at the recycling bins at Tes**.One was actually in one of the bins
:-0 :-0 :-0

James has gone to Northampton to collect Jess .They are going to Cambridge tomorrow as there are free talks at the Uni,a few that they are interested in.Good old Mum and Dad have paid for them to stay in a Hotel tomorrow eve.

Chicken Casserole in the oven cooking away nicely.I just need to do the mash later.
I will be doing Roast Beef for our friends tomorrow.I think I already said I have cooked the beef ,which is sliced in lovely thick gravy,so I just need to remember to take that out of the freezer tonight .
Chris had been signed off from Jury Service now ,so will be going to work as normal tomorrow.The rest of the staff are so relieved as 2 GPs are away on holiday and another off sick.
It is a lovely evening here.The fire across the A14 is still going :-S,but doesn't appear to be causing any bother.

I agree with you about the Travellers Frank,; If we decided to live in a caravan in our field, we would soon be told that we couldn't! Just because you own land doesn't mean that you can automatically set up home there. Like everyone else they must have planning permision AND a licence, if not, it's no go! You can't have one rule for travellers and another for the rest of us, it's just not right! Sorry, but that's how I feel. As for the child beggars; again, like you Frank, I would take a VERY firm hand with it. It just seems that the authorities are afraid to say Boo to ANYONE from abroad and allow behaviour that simply (and quite rightly) wouldn't be tolerated if it were being committed by 'Home Grown' residents - Social Services, the Police, and an yone else you can think of would be down on 'you' like a ton of bricks, and the children concerned, again quite rightly, put into care at the blink of an eye!! but not if you are from abroad!! wierd eh?!!!! Nice day here, went to the 'tip' and they were VERY helpful and nice, so won't worry about going again with all sorts od rubbish! and they didn't charge, which they had started to do in Somerset! Laura rang and was VERY chatty, coming over next week as it is half term. Brilliant!!! time to walk Millie, supper telly and bed!!!

Ah Liz! that will be lovely for you to see Laura and the Children.I hope she is happy with where you have moved too ;-) ;-)Doesn't the half term come around quickly.Is this the last break now before Christmas?
Have you any pics yet of your new place and Merlin ?
Just about to see the news..Is Gadaffi DEAD????.If so .Jolly Good.

Jane,what did he do to you ?

Oh Mel, i didn't realise it was a year ago you lost mum, you're bound to feel low today ,sending my love to you <3

Shiela, poor Jasper ,is he still poorly down below ?
How did you keep a straight face with Mr Kookabanger !! :-D i had to smile when i read it .

Jane, are Rachel,Darren and baby Ethan staying with you for a few days ,or just visiting for the day ? hope we get to see photo's of Ethan, i bet he's grown :-)

Feeling any better Frank ?

Really chilly outside now ,Toby shot out for a wee and shot back in quickly, he's now on his bed with his head buried under his toys :-D

Mel, have sent you an email. :-)

Mandy ,they are staying with us tomorrow night and then going to Oxford ,to see other family.Staying there Saturday night ,then off to London for Darrens Grandma's 80th birthday bash on the Sunday and then fly back to Dubai on Monday.They won't know whether they are coming or going lol
I will be getting plenty of pics :-D.I can't wait to see them now.
My neighbour has said if Chester is a problem (with the baby) he can go to them .He has been very curious with the travel cot lol.

David,what did who do to me??? :-S :-S

Gadaffi


I thought he would have done a runner weeks ago with all the gold reserves,but no,he stuck it out and many were on his side.

So its a flying visit then :-)

Do you think Chester is a bit jealous ? Toby is when the little ones come , he pushes in front of them to get my attention !!

Oh ,him David.Funny how he was found in a drainpipe,just like Saddam in a hole in the ground.
