William, all this talk of you disappearing has reminded me of The Invisible Man series years ago. lol Do you remember....he used to wear bandages when he wanted to be seen.....!! lol.

Yes, meant to say Frank, OH gets regular clips around the ear too!! :-D Often I can't keep my face straight when I tell him off though!! :-D

I remember being threatened with 'a clip round the ear' ...don't think I ever had one though.I had a spanked bottom though over the knee (not hard ) just hard enough for a little sting ..A hiding I think was the expression .

Aren't you the lucky one Jane, I think I had more good hidings than I had HOT DINNERS. Just goes to show the difference in upbringings. !! Spare money for meals out, go go to the Pheasant without me will you ???

Still no luck then William. Never mind when they are ready, they will show up. !!

Haven't opened the Emails yet this evening, will have a look at the stoat shortly.

I didn't know you couldn't keep some freezers in the garage, We had one of those half and half ones, that didn't work well, that might have been why. The chest freezer works fine.

Maureen, You always seem to be away, you little minx you.

Ann, I liked the invisable man when I was young. Must have used a lot of bandages !!

No more snow here. (YET) a place called Woodford Halse, near Daventry, had three inches this morning, so it's around.

I'll skelp your Rs they'd say,and some times did

When we first saw the stoat this year in the summer it was all brown on top with a white underbelly. The tail was brown too with it's black end.

William please don't let the fairies take you!! :-0 We need you on the thread.

Just cooking sheep sh*t pie and extra teddies for bubble and squeak tomorrow.

HI ALL ---WELL I NEVER SAW A STROAT BEFORE--LOOKED LIKE A CAT TO ME
REMEMBER I'M THE ELDEST AND HAVE BAD EYE SIGHT :-S :-S ;-) <3 <3

I'D GET ON WITH YOUR OH ANN --THATS SOMETHING I'D HAVE SAID OR USE A HAMMER :-D ;-)--JUST KIDDING.

WILLIAM YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO PUT A TRACKING DEVICE ON THINGS :-D
SNOW IS ALMOST GONE A BIT CHILLY BUT SUNNY.

THINK I'LL HAVE SALMON TO-NIGHT WITH CHIPS & PEAS & SALAD

THE KIDS DO GROW UP SO FAST SEEMS IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE.

NOT MUCH --IN FACT NOTHING DOING HERE JUST CLEAN OUT SOME DRAWERS BUT FIRST MUST HAVE MY LUNCH LEFT IT A BIT LATE.

I'M STILL WATCHING THE OLD SILENT WITNESS -IS THERE NEW ACTORS IN IT????

Yes, ' a good hiding' or a 'stinger' if it was across your legs. That must be the northern version David! :-(

I heard someone say 'blimey o'riley the other day....another saying you don't often hear now.

Jane I'd not heard that about freezers either......I've always had one in the garage. The last one used to ice up, but the frostfree one in there now never has ice. I worry about the mice chewing the wires though. :-S

We have put 2 of those tv brackets on the bedroom walls and it is a bit of a game so I don't envy James! I remember there were templates for marking and a spirit level needed, all before you start drilling! :-S Once on the wall though, the tv is out of the way.

Are you getting Chris anything special for his 60th?..........any ideas welcome as OH's 60th is in March. He doesn't want any fuss and we'll eat out, before or after his birthday as it's on Mother's Day this year (would you believe it!) and everywhere will be packed!! I did think about taking him to Crufts this year as he often says he'd like to go. I've already got him a born in 1953 card, but am trying to think of small treats. He wants more money towards his new laptop as his main pressie.

I'm sure you would get on with him too Shirl, same kind of humour. :-D

No Ann ,I can't think of a pressie for his 60th.But he will 'retire' in March so may think of something for then.I think the family meal will be my present for his Birthday.He is being a right pain in the a*** trying to find out where we are going.He is even smooching up to me to try and find out....he has been given a flea in his ear :-D

SMOOCHING! LOL that was a 60/70's word

James asked for a spirit level yesterday Ann lol....I think it all set up now.What a performance :-S
Have had another performance with Chris putting up the splash back for my pots and pans....it looks a bit off centre :-S :-S (it is) but it' s fine :-D :-D :-D(I'll say no more ;-)

MG DAVID HAVE NOT HEARD THAT WORD 'SKELP'' SINCE I LEFT HOME
OTHER THAN WHEN I WOULD BE FOOLING WITH THE KIDS.

Now I see that word ....Skelp...yes I remember that one too .My Dad used to say that.It must be a Scottish or North England saying. Tan your Hide(sp) that's another

Well I have tried F & C tonight without the batter. Gone done well enough, will se if there is any reaction later !!!

Never heard that word David/Shirley, but there again I am a Southener.

Take me out is on till 9.45 so I will stay out of the way.

Hope you enjoyed todays jokes and there was nothing to offend anyone, if there ever is please say so. I WOULD NEVER OFFEND ANYONE. !!!

Going to play cards for a while, I can never get out on solitaire. Ros gets out every time. CLEVER DICK !!!

I am watching World Without End the follow on from Pillars of the Earth.

Anyone else watching it?

I have never heard of Skelp either but then again I am like Frank a southerner.

Well I am just waiting now for Mrs Browns Boys.I just love this even though there's a lot of Effing and Blinding and a bit near the knuckle .
I wait to see Frank if your F&C stay in your tum tonight :-D :-D..I am totally stuffed now after that Beef Casserole..There is still enough left to feed an army :-S :-S.

Mel ,that second pic of the Stoat is just great. :-D

Mrs Brown just about to start so I am off and will say Night Night xx

Have any of you noticed that the advert with Harvey and Rabbit, is the same dog that is Sykes in Midsomer Murders?

Yes Mel, I noticed that, but I couldn't remember the dog's name - I do now, thank you!! We are Watching 'World Without End' too and thought it was brilliant! can't wait for next weeks episode!
Enjoyed the jokes Frank, and no they certainly never offend me in the slightest!!
Lovely morning here, bright sunshine but cold, OH has breakfast ready so must away to my boiled egg.

Morning everyone,
