General Chat

LOL I see we should all carry some kind of pot ,jug,tub pickled onion jar,lunch box in our cars .
Frank I did think after you left that I hadn't asked if you both needed to use the loo.Poor Ros.Not easy for us gals to go in awkward situations.You boys have it easy.
My niece just missed flooding by the seat of her pants.The water was just inches from the doors.Her next door neighbours weren't so lucky.

I am fading fast tonight,so am away to bed.See you all in the morning xx

No E Card :-S :-S

Have rechecked the Cards, and it's down to your supplier if you receive them. I will try and try again to send them PROMISE.

This back light is playing havoc with my eyes.

David when we went Sea Fishing, 50 of us on a coach drinking all the way there. Some of the lads had 5 litre bottles for you know what. Jim was doing his business when the coach braked hard. The contents spilled out all over his trousers. When we had a stop he was first in the toilet with the hand dryer blowing onto his trousers. Noone got near him all day long.

I once had to attend the Doctors and had been told to bring a sample.

I took a Lucasade bottle full.

She only wated a couple of tea spoon full,but our spoons are not for that purpose.

Morning All..


Just off to Kent to see my youngest son and family..Was going to my daughters this weekend but the plans changed..So next weekend we will be visiting her..Christmas will be apon (sp ) us then.
Hope you are all well.I decline the mulled wine on that occasion Jane.
.
I must write my cards soon.. getting quite a few alreaady..At least I have the stamps lol..

Frank no ecard..I usually get them ok :-(

Its alot easier for men to use bottles in cars ;-)

I agree Pat

You can buy those plastic bottles male or female online

Hello all,

William thanks for all your email of your models. I enjoyed them very much.

Frank so sorry to read of the loss of that young baby, terribly sad for the family, poor wee bub. :-(

I had two school friends call in to have afternoon tea with me yesterday. There were lots of laughs as well as catching up on their news. Really brightened my day.

It has been hot and windy here with bushfires in 3 states. Hate to think what the rest of the summer will be like.

Dreadful news about that nurse. We have some real d***heads on radio here. The station is in trouble and sponsors are pulling ads. by the dozens. I hope something is done - it could and should turn into a legal matter. Glad Kate is out of hospital and I hope she is much better now.

More cards today, but the tree is still not up. Tomorrow will be the day. Hope you are all well. 7.40 pm DST

Morning all, looks dull and cold outside. Think maybe we might venture out for some shopping today. If the weathers is to get worse, we want to be prepared.

I have to join in all your remarks about the terrible death of the nurse that took the hoax phone call. What an awful tragedy over a stupid prank. We have not only lost a valuable nurse, two children have lost their mother, not to mention the effect on the rest of her family. Also, what a blot on the wonderful news that Kate & William were to start a family. I hate hoaxes and hoaxers, nothing ever good comes from it.
I think if the two responsible were over here they would be living in fear of their lives.

I hear Carmel about, must be time for some brekky.

Thanks for asking after her Ann, she is still not so well and she looked like a sheet of paper yesterday. A shame, because she so loves Christmas.

C Y A L - sorry if I've been over the top with my model pics. I can send out a few of my den and cabinets later if you'd like.

Take care, stay warm

Morning All and Evening Kim,

Sun here at the moment.

Kim it must have been nice to have a good laugh with yor friends. I hope you are feeling a bit better after the visit. Nothing better to cheer you up than a good old chin wag.

Ann I cna just imagine your face when G came and waved his hands about. I bet he got an earfull when you got in!!
:-S

Still no ecard here Frank. I wonder why we hav'nt received it?

Forgot to say thanks to Shirl for her card which arrived yesterday. What a pretty envelope and I love the victorian cards.

Lots to do like cleaning out the chickens and Hogwart and I have to go up the shop for the paper and beg some more newspapers to use for Hogwart so I shall be back later.

Forgot to say Jane you should buy Janice a shewee for Christmas. Have you girls seen them???

Well, I just wrote a long post and whoooooooooosh!!!! it went...... :-| :-|

Mel, those shewees look good for ladies queuing for the January sales!! :-D Yes, I did tell OH off but he just sniggers. I'm sure he does these things on purpose sometimes........he's just like a naughty boy at times!! :-| He's full of cough and cold now, but has managed to crawl off to footie like I expected. At least the house will be free of his bugs for a few hours......I used wipes on everything after he left! :-)

Kim, I bet you really enjoyed seeing your friends.....it's always good to have a chat like that. It must be very worrying for any people living nearby when those bushfires take hold. How are your pusscats these days and has the snake been back?

I hope Carmel picks up a bit soon William so she can enjoy Christmas. I love to see any pics people send and see what they do or make. :-)

I bet Mandy and the little ones are having a good time with the Dinosaurs and seeing Santa.

Just picturing David lugging his Luc*zade bottle to the surgery!! lol :-D

I got my blood test and full results back today in connection with the study I joined. My cholesterol and BP and have dropped a little each time over the 3 years of tests and are 5.1 and 119/88. They said the cholesterol was fine because of the ratios being good and my BP is always lower when I take it at home.. I'm sure losing a bit of weight would help even more though! The glucose tests, which I was concerned about, seem to swing about a bit, year to year but are still well within the normal range. Now I have to wait for the body scan and seeing my fat overcoat again!.

Think I will get back to my necklace now while I know there won't be any interruptions! It is so easy to go wrong with it. :-S :-0 :-|

HI ALL---
THANKS MANDY/FIONA MAUREEN FOR THE CARDS
FRANK I COULD TRY TO FORWARD YOUR ECARD TO MEL AND JANE SEE IF IT GETS THROUGH.

MAUREEN LOVE TAPPAS WISH WE HAD IT HERE <3

I thought I had posted this morning but see I didn't :-S.I have been busy doing this ,that and the other and pricing up new machines.If I can have all 3 then the claim will be about £1300.So not a massive claim.

Kim I bet you got a boost having your friends visit.A good laugh and giggle does you the world of good.Also I imagine now you are getting Summer Weather it will be better for your health.I do hope the bush fires don't spread and that all people and wildlife are safe.

Ann ,that's all good news then with those results.My BP is always around the 110/70 mark.I hope your OH keeps his nasty cold bug to himself.

Mel is Hogwart still being as messy and untidy???.What is his weight now?

Poor Carmel .She has has a rough time lately hasn't she.I expect it is just taking time to get over her tongue biopsy.Is she eating normally again now William?

Frank .Please don't worry about the e card.I don't know why it hasn't come through.I know the thought is there .Shirl I never get things through from you either so I doubt I will get the card lol.Thanks for yours which arrived today.

I hope Pat has a nice weekend with family.

I had to laugh this morning.I went down to Fitz with some washing.There was Fitz,Georgette and Tom all standing around the Xmas tree which was lying on the floor.Lots of bits of wood cluttering the floor too.They were trying to work out the best way of getting the tree up.Their faces were a picture.I think the word would be harassed :-D :-D.I didn't hang around long lol

Afternoon everyone,

Just home and have started to thaw out a bit now after a nice hot drink, when we first got there the sun was shining away, then down came the fog and the cold !! we had a wander round through the trees looking at the Dinosaurs then went in and the children played on the slides and in the ball pits,we had a bit of lunch and then took the children in to see Santa , he was the same chap as last year the one hubby knew and he remembered the children from last year so he talked to the them for a long time ,even though there was a long queue behind us .
By the time we came out the sun was shining again ,but it was really cold by then so we had a spend up in the shop!! they know how to charge in these shops don't they !!

Kim,that was nice that you are well enough to enjoy some time with your friends,we are lucky that we don't have those bush fires here, must be awful when they take hold like that.

William , sorry to hear Carmel is still feeling poorly bless her ,so your chief cook and bottle washer and still have time to do your lovely models ,would be nice to see more of your den and models.

Yes i've seen those Shewee's advertised Mel, handy to have in the car if your caught short i would think.

Still no Ecard Frank :-D :-D give it up as a bad job, !! funny saying that one !! :-S

Jane, thanks for your card that came this morning ,a nice glittery one :-D
Do you think you will have all the new white goods before christmas ?
So they were having fun and games with the tree then :-D how do they get the tree up i remember the photo you sent last year of their tree , it was a big one !!
Real christmas tree's make my hands and arms feel all itchy when i touch them so i wear gloves !!

Mandy I really really hope to have at least washing machine and freezer by Xmas.Especially a freezer.I have a fridge freezer but the freezer bit is so small.

Mel I was thinking of those Shewees when I was in bed last night.I think all us girls should have one :-D.I might just get one and try it to see how easy it is to use in an awkward situation.Chris always gets exasperated with me when we are on a long journey(especially on Motorways) as I always get him to stop at services stations .Just to squeeze one out lol.I have a dread of getting stuck in a jam .You see men getting out and disappearing up the banks behind little bushes or just standing behind the car contemplating their navals ;-)Even little girls can be held out by mum or dad.But us poor gals....it ain't easy .
Mandy where was the Dinosaur Park? I went to one in Suffolk(don't remember where) when the children were young.
I get very itchy hands too when handling real Xmas trees and also have to wear gloves.Which reminds me to look out a pair for tomorrow.Mind you if James is with me he can do all the hauling out of trees to choose which one we have.I just need to decide where to go to get one.I think Boswort** (Frank will know.in Burton Latimer)...........I don't feel very Christmasy at all yet.

Thanks Ann........For Frank's card :-D...It is lovely Frank.Thankyou <3

Shirl, thanks for sending Frank's ecard , Frank it was lovely thank you <3

Jane the park is at Lenwade near Norwich ,only takes us about twenty minutes to get there , don't know about the one in Suffolk.

Have sent Frank's card on to you as well now Mandy, now I know it works! Sounds as if you had a good day and yes, those shops sure know how to charge! That was nice it being the 'same' Santa. I bet the little ones were tired after. I get that itchiness and little red pin pricks on my wrists if I touch conifers. I had a big hedge of them at my previous house and was always having rashes when they were trimmed.

Ooops........sorry Mandy, didn't see your post........now you will have 2 cards like me!! :-D

YOUR WELCOME I ALSO SENT IT TO YOU JANE SAME TIME ??????
I'M STILL ONLY HALF DONE WITH THE TREE JUST CANT GET UP TO SPEED
BUT I'VE JUST MADE TWO BANANA CAKES SO CANT SAY I'M TO LAZY ;-)
IT'S A GOOD JOB I'VE MY PRESENTS ------ :-S--------IS IT JUST ME OR WHAT
BUT IT NO LONGER EVEN SMELLS LIKE CHRISTMAS WHEN I WAS YOUNG
