You are up early twittering away. Shops not open here today, so everyone will be out in force tomorrow. It has been a really lazy one for me, feeling a bit yuk.

It has been a beautiful Good Friday with 26-27 degrees. Did some washing, but left the rest. :-S

Frank I did see that woman on television and whilst very attractive, I have seen more beautiful women inside and out. She certainly has herself up there on her own personalised pedestal. I did have a laugh though, well you have to. ;-)

Maureen is away and she will no doubt have an enjoyable time.

Dinner is almost ready so I must away. Have a wonderful day everyone. 6.51 pm DST

Jane glad Chester is fine, I thought it might have been his arthritis acting up.

Morning all,

Nothing planed for today, might put a couple of climbers that Ros bought to go round the tree.

Kim I will try again with the card, can't have you left out. can we ???

I posted a note on the Woodford Bridge site on Jacquie Lawson, and received a couple of replies about my brothers death. He lived in the "BRIDGE" for best part of 80 years, so was well known.

Back home now and I have an awful lot of planting to do. Oh sent me into the garden center and followed me with a big trolley and said you have £100 for perenniels for the border. Well I was like a child in a sweet shop given the run of the place!! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I spent £109 in all and then he bought me some canterbury bells after a good breakfast and some more mealworms when he got his fish food.

So you all know what I shall be doing for the rest of the day. If I don't get back on here you will know my back has given out.

Now where did I put my trowel and spade????????

Yes Jane got the hot cross buns, this is the second lot i've bought the first ones soon went .

Frank , i don't seem to have had the card either :-(

Wow Mel, i can see your going to be busy !! watch that back and your knees , you can always do some tomorrow you know !!
OH has treated you well, i wonder what he wants ;-) ;-) ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Hubby's going to scim a couple of little bits of the ceiling in the conservatory this afternoon ,then son is coming tomorrow to help him scim over all the rest of the ceiling .
At the moment we have just a light bulb dangling as hubby has taken the old light down ,looks lovely :-S :-S
We have a new light fitting to go up later when he's finished decorating ,the reminds me i must get some of those candle bulbs to go in it .

Finished the main part of the baby shawl last night ,just got the border to do now , i have decided to do the border from another pattern as the one on this pattern was so hard to do , i don't let much beat me but no way could i do that one!!!

Well Mel you are going to be a busy little bee.I can just picture you in the garden centre saying "I'll have these ,and these ,and these,and these" lol.Was it busy? I went to Tesc* and everyone and their Mother was there. :-S.The roads were heaving too.

Pat we aren't doing anything for Easter either.Never do.Chris is busy in the garage putting up boarding to cover in that nasty pipe that leaked all the poo and stuff.I shall be glad not to go in the garage and see it all exposed.The chap from Wick* delivered the boarding yesterday at 8.15am.I hope you manage to get out to the park with Mocha.It has clouded up here now and looks like it even might rain.
Frank that was nice to get those replies.Your Brother must have been well known there.

My 90 year old neighbour is home now after having her second Knee replacement and doing fine.I won't tell Janice :-S.There is obviously a big problem with hers :-S :-S :-S.

Just going to put some Bacon and Mushroom Tart things (THAT I MADE MYSELF) :-D :-D.in the oven to heat up for lunch.

Mandy .Chris said we should have Fish today,and said we could get fish and chips lol.That sounded good to me ,except the are some Chicken en croute things in the fridge that need to be eaten by today. if he really wants fish ,he can open up a tin of Tuna :-D
I am still looking at that Easter egg ;-) as children we never had an Easter egg before Easter Sunday.So I am going to stick to the right thing and not have mine until Sunday.(Golly I am so good :-D :-D ;-) ;-)).I might just have to hide it though ,because it is looking at me saying EAT ME :-S :-S :-S :-S
