It's really hot now.Just picked more beans and am just cooking them up with garlic/onion and chopped tomatoes.Once they are done I am going to pull my bed out and give everything a big hoover as I just found another huge spider on my pillow(exactly the same place as that last one)...What if there is a nest!!!!!!!!!!

At least with this new bed of ours I don't have to shift it to hoover underneath, I just have to flatten the hoover out and it goes under the bed so no build up of dust there.

I shall try and send the pic I took of the owl in oh's hands.

Ah Mel ! He is gorgeous.A little bedraggled looking after his night out.Hopefully it is all dried out and happy again now.Bet he won't go near the pond again in a hurry lol.

Goodness Kim .Brave daughter.Well done to her.I hope she is rewarded for her bravery :-D.It is the kind of thing I would do without thinking really.But at the time you don't think they might have a knife or gun.Did he run off or was he caught?
Nice to hear Joy is still getting around even if she is only using one stick.I expect she enjoys coming to you for a bit of company.
Also nice that Miranda has a lovely boyfriend and that you approve :-D :-D.I know Hannah had a couple of wasters in the past and it was a worry but at last she seems to have found Mr Right :-D :-D

Mel I know I have asked about this Lady before.It is Mums Mother.I just can't seem to find where she was born or anything about her parents.

it is LOTTIE MANEY..Born in 1891 and died in 1925 in Bideford aged 34.Married to
? Cole in Winchester.I just can't seem to find where she was born or even in the 1901 or 1911 Census .Any chance you or someone could help me out here please.It's driving me potty :-S

I have just picked another load of beans :-D There are some woody looking ones now that I have left but still a number of small ones which hopefully will grow properly.Chris has got rid of a lot of the tomato plants on the patio as the tomatoes were just rotting :-S

Mandy .Thanks.I have the marriage.I am just stuck on finding out where she was born and anything about her parents /siblings etc.it is a mystery.Lottie died when my Mum was about 5 and Mum knew nothing about her at all.

If you get the marriage cert it will tell you her fathers name ,will be a little more to go on .

Not seeing her on any census , could she have been a Charlotte ?

If you sleep on your back and snore chances are you'll swallow one a week ;-)

Jane Report 15 Sep 2012 17:20

No Mandy ,she was definitely a Lottie.Yes I think I will have to get the marriage cert.Strange she is nowhere on the census.

Oh thanks David !!! I will really sleep well (NOT) tonight lol.apparently I do sleep and snore on my back sometimes :-S.Maybe I should sleep with my feet at the head and head at the foot of the bed tonight.I have done that many a time when I had the hot sweats at night.Touch wood I seem to have stopped getting them.

No Frank yet today??? Where is he I wonder.I bet he is up to no good ;-)

What are we all eating tonight then? We are having Country French Chicken (courtesy of Chicken Tonig**) Rice ,baby carrots and more runner beans :-D,They will be coming out of our ears soon lol
Banoffee Pie for Pud just for Jess as it is her favourite and she is going home tomorrow.Her Step Dad is coming to pick her up as she has so many extra clothes from Hannah's chuck outs she couldn't possibly take everything on the train.
James will be getting himself ready to start his new job on Monday.It will be shirt and tie now rather than the works teeshirt he was wearing for nights.He has had a hair cut and a big shave so looks pretty decent now.It will do him good to be working days and with a team .I think he is looking forward to it.

I was thinking earlier about the days when we started having Curry,Pizza,Cock(sp) au Vin and people saying they wouldn't eat any of that foreign muck lol.Look at it now we have the choice of world wide foods :-D How times have changed :-D
My Nanna always put 2 Rennie Tablets on the dinner table when Mum dished up something 'different' lol.I think it was her way of showing her disapproval :-| :-|

Yes not like our Frank to miss a day posting .

Mel, what a dear little Owl ,he does look a bit wet , bet you check in the morning to see if he's done it again !!

Good luck to James in his new job on Monday ,did he ever get his new shoes ?? i remember you said he wanted to buy new shoes when he started work .

Poor BIL doesn't know if he will be able to have his knee op on Tuesday now, he had tooth ache yesterday and had to have a tooth out today , so that means he now has an
open wound !!
They will have to ring on Monday to see what they say, when he had his assessment last week they told him to be careful,no cuts or spots or open wounds !!
I hope it doesn't mean he has to wait weeks now for the op.

David I don't need that anymore :-D :-D.I think I have outgrown the worst of the sweats now .About time too lol
Now I think i will go up to bed with my book and do a big spider check :-S.Woe betide any creature that decides to share my pillow again :-| :-|

See you all in the morning xx

What's all this fuss about poor Kate trying to have a private life and being spread all over the gutter press of foreign newspapers?. Lady Godiva rode naked through the streets of Coventry long long ago, it's time the press parasites got a life!

Morning All and Evening Kim,

We had a bit of rain in the night but it is dry and dull at the moment.

Have just seen oh pick some figs off the tree so he must be taking them to Mary at ringing.

Hav'nt caught up with your posts yet or your emails so will go and do that now.

Morning/Evening All
What a dull morning.Not like yesterday at all.One good thing is that it is dry for the Cransley Run.It is a yearly event for the local Hospice.It gets bigger every year with more and more people running.

Jess has just gone .She starts back at Uni next week.I will now and go and find all the towels than seem to have gone missing over the last couple of weeks lol.There must be at least half a dozen somewhere.
Coffee time I think and then I'm off to Asd*.We are just about out of wine and they do a good selection and good prices there.

Here I am.
I didn't lealise that yesterday when I posted I caught the internet button that turns it off. I did it once before and had to get neighbour in to sort it. It was while I was watching T.V. that i thought what it might be. "SILLY OLD DUFFER"

The post didn't go through yesterday. I comented on old school memories, regarding teachers, with hindsight it's a good job it didn't go through Naughty Boy !!!

That little owl looks a bit bedraggled Mel, I bet it took him a while to get back to normal. Good job your OH was ariound or he might have died from fright. !!!
William and all, I agree LEAVE THEM ALONE. I see in the paper this morning the this Bast### was a MILE away from where they were staying.. Don't tell me it was a chance Photo. He must have been stalking them. I would stuff his lens so far up his Ar## that he would be taking photo's out of his mouth. And jhust typical the other Bast### are folloiwing suit. I just hope no paper over here prints them. I also see that that magazine is fetching £30.00 on eBay. They shpould ban the adverts.
:-0 :-0 :-0

Ros didn't do too well yesterday, only sold £40.00 worth. It was mainly TAT on the stalls. Most of the public were young Mums with children, and couldn't afford the stuff she was selling. There was no where you could get a tea/coffee. The toilet was about a mile away in the village hall. Not a HAPPY BUNNY when she got home.

There's no way we could get under our bed. IKt's one that lifts from the bottom, with strorage under. Full of Ros's old handbags, shoes, excess blankets, pillows etc. Therre could be anything living under there. If I tell her she might throw everythng out. That would be one way to sort IT !!

Dull sort of morning here.

Dinner all prepared, Yorkshie pudding made. We will have it later tonight.

Might go off and have a look round Asd# A new one opened a few weeks ago. I also need to order some flowers for Ros's Birthday for Wednesday, while i'm out.

We live in a commercial world

If people want to see that young woman's boobs they will buy a news paper that profits from selling photographs.
Same with Harry's Rs.

Were all the same,got the same bits and pieces.
If some one wants to pay for photos of me that would by a laugh wouldn't it?
