Just found your postings for this morning, also Emoticons are back. WHO'S playing with my comnputer ???? :-D :-D :-D

Oh Frank what an EXPENCE!!! :-( :-( :-(

Cut oh's hair and then hoovered through. He is off to ring for a funeral so I did and early lunch. He is now in the shower.

The wind is so high here today the heavy garden table just blew over on it's top. It is safer that way up.

New pond now clearing nicely and I can now see the bottom just, again. Hav'nt seen any of the little fish for two days now, I hope they are alright. A couple of the eggs in the fish tank have hatched but some have died as I can see little bodies floating on the surface of the water.

I must take some more pics of the finished pond and decking as I don't seem to have taken any yet with all the company we had down. Only just getting back to normal.

Hope Chris gets that router done today so Jane is up and running again.

Must go and see to the tunnel when oh has gone out.

Hello everyone popping in quickly. Haven't caught up with your posts yet, apart from Frank's black and blue a**e.

Maureen won't be back, but wishing her girl a wonderful wedding day with beautiful weather and everything going off perfectly.

Some sun here today, but more rain tomorrow.

Hoping to catch up with Keith's cousin over the weekend. She has just flown back from Alaska and will be in the area before returning to Darwin on Monday. I have never met her, but we found one another via Genes. She is also related to my mother - this world gets smaller all the time.

Jane congratulations to Hannah and the proud parents too. Did they take any lumps off Chester, poor fella. I hope the weight loss is just age and nothing else.

Will read through your posts tomorrow. Off to watch the old box, night all. 10.04 pm EST

Hi All
Still not got the new router working :-S.So have got the old one on again.James is going to have another go now so I will be off again.

Mel your ponds are looking amazing :-D :-D

No storm yet here Mandy but it ain't have windy.I went to get some tops of mine out of the machine to hang out and thought there must be something wrong as it is still going .I put it on a fast wash(or so I thought).I only went and put it on the 90deg cycle :-S :-S :-S.I reckon they will all be going in the bin when I eventually get them.They are new tops too :-(

Must go James is heading downstairs to the Router so farewell for now.
I think Frank said he is doing the Traffic Survey now.That should keep him out of mischief for a little while ;-) :-D

Oh just found a dead goldfish in my new pond!!!!! Can't see a thing wrong with it.

It's me.

Thanks Mel for the photo's I have replied.

Mandy, The plumber phoned back this morning to say, he will be over tomorrow morning to fit the new part. Good service.

Jane, I was so shakey and tottering around after the attic affair, that Ros wouldn't let me do my stints this afternoon. She rang the organiser to let her know. Still got the shakes. :-0 :-0 :-0

The wind is very strong here also, but the sun is out, and it's very warm.
I just went down the garden and nearly took off.!!!

Hi Kim, glad to see you around, How nice it will be to meet your relative after all these years, hope you get on allright.

Ros, has just started the HOLIDAY ironing, It's about 3 ft high. all folded on the chair. She will do a bit, sit a bit, and do a bit moore. And there is tomorrow !!!!

I'm still here.James has decided not to start fiddling with things now as he needs everything working when he is working tonight.Fingers crossed we dont get that storm and then a power cut.Not sure what he would do then.

Mandy I went to the Rang* today and finally got that Cafe Net.It's not quite long enough but will be ok if Chris justs lowers the hooks for the pole a little.
I was talking to the assistant and saying how I used to know the chap who own Rang*.She said he was at the store a fortnight ago .Arrived in his helicopter no less :-D.She was telling me there are more stores opening soon around the country soon.I cannot believe what an amazing entrepreneur he has become.A right Del Boy type though I think lol

Chris popped home a few hours ago .His trouser fly had broken and was gaping :-0 :-0.Good job he works close to home.He could have frightened some of his patients to death lol

Well I thought the storm was coming a few moments ago but now I can see some blue sky.
No luck looking for wallpaper for the kitchen today so it will definitely be a trip to either Wellingborough or Northampton tomorrow afternoon after Chris finishes work.I fancy something bold ,but I know Chris will not really agree.I will just say seeing it is me who spends the time in the kitchen I will decide :-D :-DHe can just do the work lol.I will supervise

Kim I hope you have a great weekend .How strange that she is related to your Mum.As you say it is a very small world :-D

Thanks Frank for those couple of emails ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-).I think there were about 15 or more lol.I thought the Olympic ones were hilarious and the Bill Gate one.

Insured my new car yesterday.
Took delivery of it this afternoon.
Blue Ford Focus Zetac 1.6 5 dr hatch.

Thats a lot of money Frank.Id get a second opinion.
Someone might get it working for you at a fraction of that figure.

David you must be a happy chappy now with your new wheels :-D How long is it that you have been without?
How is your Brother Ralph doing these days?

Oh dear Frank.Not the best time to be forking out more dosh just after your hols :-S But you can't be without your boiler.

Jane what kind of router are you trying to fit and is it for wireless?

More BAD NEWS. The plumber rang to say he could call in on his way home. been here about 10 minutes. He has found the reason for the Circuit board packing up is that the PUMP has been leaking onto it. The new pump is £200.00. I've known him many years, so I know he's not a rip off merchant. He's up in the loft fitting all the new parts now. It never rains but it pours.

Going to Hibinate now, so nothing else can go wrong. !!!!

:-D How long have I been without LOL does it show?

Haven't got a clue Mel :-S.....oh! just asked James and he says wireless.I am completely in the dark when it comes to technology :-S :-S.James is just about to go off to the Summerhouse to start work until 7am.At least he doesn't have to take a packed lunch when he works from home.He just comes in and ferrets through the fridge and bread bin lol.I have to say he is very quiet.I never hear a thing (considering the kitchen is right under our bedroom)

Total Blue Skies here.Not sure where the clouds have gone.The wind must have blown them away .It's very strange weather :-S
Chris is late tonight.He is still not home.

Hate this lap top..different buttons just lost my typing.

Did you all get the photos I sent the second time...Can someone send me Mels photo of her pond please..

I put my washing on the line about an hour ago it is nearly dry..It was raining this morning..Very windy now and the sun has been out

Frank all that money you are having to pay out again after your hols..

Jane I hope you get the router sorted soon.


Mel a dead goldfish..was that one very old..
l
David I bet you are pleased you are more mobile.

Mandy....
we have so many baby fish in there now..Itsnice to see them getting their colours..

Oh no Jane !! your poor tops going through a boil wash ,they'll only fit a midget when they come out LOL :-D
So you finally got the nets ,i'am pleased with mine they look nice in the kitchen.
Did you have a look in the Ran*e for wall paper ? lots of bold designs in there .

Goodness Frank, all that money to pay out !! :-S good job he found the leak , imagine if it had really leaked while you were away !! could have had a nasty flood .

Wind has really got up here the last hour , the garden swing is going up on two legs and crashing back down again !! my fault because i put the canopy on the other day so the wind is catching in it .

Very relaxing watching the fish Pat, when son had his tank he had a little frog in there , i didn't like that much :-S
Have sent you Mel's photo's.

Mandy ,we have the same nets.It's the only one they do lol.Not a lot of choice for Kitchen Wallpaper.I want the cushioned stuff(if you know what I mean)
My tops have come out from the machine looking the same size,but I won't know until I try them on.I have them drying on the clothes horse at the moment.
Fingers crossed they will still fit.I haven't told Chris one of his new shirts was in that wash :-S :-S

Oh said you have to connect the router to the computer with a lead first.
