Well i don't know whats going on here ,it's posted twice , but missed some of the post out.!!

Thanks Mel
Barny is obviously concentrating on his meal in the first pic :-D

Maureen .Chester has never actually managed to hunt anything.I think he would scream like a girl if he was confronted by something lol.He is acting like he has dementia today :-SI do wonder sometimes if something happens in his brain when he gets this gormeless look and behaviour.He hasn't played at all today :-S.He bashed his head to right on the corner of the table earlier.That certainly didn't knock any sense into him :-D

I went to TEs** this morning and the alarms went off just as `i started shopping.Me and some others were told by staff to please go out through a door which led to the back of the store ,then once outside to keep walking right around the building until we got round to the carpark.I was walikng with this lady and when we got to the carpark I said "well where are all the people" expecting to see everyone who had come out through the front doors.........No-one !!! just people going in !!!!!!!!!!!
I assume as soon as I had been chucked out the back it was decided that there was no emergency after all .I was in stitches lol.and said to the lady at least that had given us a bit of excercise.She laughed and said I was obviously a person who sees the positive in things lolol.We found our abandoned trolleys and joined the rest of the shoppers who had been in there all the time :-D :-D

Mandy the dogs never do their poops where you want do they :-S.I can't find any of Chesters.Will just have to wait until the snow melts now lol

Maureen ,what a pushchair that is !Looks like a throne lol.Actually it reminds me of the commodes I used to have to wheel around to patients when I was nursing !!

Crumbs Mandy I'm just looking at the news and seeing the terrible conditions you have in Norfolk.We have had nothing like that

I forgot my password for GR today(well I thought it was right) I want to let GR know of my new email address.When I clicked on 'Forgot Password' and then put my new email in it says I need to put the email that I used when I registered.Now I can do that but it gives me no options of saying I have changed it.Any ideas what I have to do please????

ALL'O ALL'O---------
FRANK JUST YOU CONCENTRATE ON US--AND IF NEED BE WE WILL GIVE YOU A REFERENCE <3 <3----WHAT A LOVELY THING THE WEE BOY & DOG THANKS FRANK -
MANDY/JANE/MEL THANK YOU FOR PIC'S HOPE YOU DON'T GET SNOWED IN--OUR SNOW HAS ALL GONE BEEN A BIT MILDER THIS LAST WEEK --BUT SNOW ALL AROUND US SO NEVER SAY NEVER--
MAUREEN HOW DID ANN HELP YOU WITH PROFILE PIC?? AS I CANT SEEN TO CHANGE MINE :-S
THINK I'LL HAVE SOME EGGPLANT AS MY VEGGIE TO-NIGHT

Go into your ACCOUNT at the top Jane, then you will see in the list on the LH side where you can notify the change.

I'll forward the email I sent to Maureen Shirl.

Jane, I may have mentioned it earler,my Father use to drink in a pub called The Chester in Shield Street Newcastle,very long time ago.
He also used to drink in The Shieldfield in the same Street,and The Lambert Leap on Sandyford Road and The Barras Bridge.
Not to mention The Victoria Comet and The Long Bar,amomg others

Is that your house in the photo Ann?

Roast chicken for us tonight. I am only doing mash and veg not a full roast.

I wish David! No, it is the old Schoolmaster's House in our village, built of the granite quarried here. On the opposite side of the road is the Old School and opposite them both is the village church all built in the handy granite. When they built the road that runs at the side of the schoolmaster's house they had to bring the quarrymen in to do it as it was solid granite just below the surface.

I must admit I won't do any banking online as I don't trust it. I sound as bad as grandma not having electric put in her house!!

Fiona, it will do you good to pop out and get a change of scene while your OH is away. It breaks the week up a bit. I bet you were ready for your hot chocolate when you got back.

Frank, I'm just writing your reference so you'd better be extra nice to me! :-D ;-)

Mandy, it sounds pretty bad where you are, good job you got some shopping in when you could.

When we went for our carvery today, they'd decided not to have one as they didn't think many people would come with the weather. We had a plated roast instead, but they did it at the carvery price. :-)

Couple of thanks to give out from me. Thanks for the Rocky Mountain vid Shirley emailed. I'd just been listening to Somewhere Over The Rainbow on the radio prior to seeing that, what a coincidence. A lovely version by Ella Fitzgerald, what a songstress.

The other thanks goes to Mel for the email photos of beautiful Barney. I do so love owls, especially barn owls. I know they are birds of prey, but they are so unique and so interesting to watch - and did I say beautiful?

Did anyone have another bash at watching Mr Selfridge on TV the other night? I'm still not sure if I like it or not, but I do love period pieces. I did think one thing was wrong in the script. When Mr S was with his 'bit-on-the-side' showgirl, she suggested "why don't we go back to yours' - they never used that expression back then, I don't even use it now!

Talking about words and such, does anyone recall terms your children, nieces or whatever used in the past? My daughter when she was little always said 'wardroad' instead of wardrobe. When my son was very young he would say 'parber' instead of pardon when he burped. If there were any villians on TV he would call them 'the nor-nor men'. If he wanted to go to the toilet for a No 1, he would say he wanted a 'wiss-wee'. Another one was when our grandson was small. Instead of saying he was upset, he would say 'I'm all set up'.

A couple of expressions that did the rounds when I was a teenager and my brothers mates would gather at our house were as follows. Something good = 'lovely tell yer Mum' - or 'Oh yes, very special margarine'.

LOL David ,your Dad liked his Pubs..good choice 'The Chester' :-D.

Frank I did have a giggle at your dream.Wishful thinking I think ;-).I bet Ros will keeping an eye on you with all this extra Testosterone :-D :-D.

Ann I still can't sort it out .I will have another go tomorrow.

Hi Shirl ,I bet you are pleased now your snow has gone.
I wonder how Kim is doing with all the dreadful hot weather!!!

Dinner is ready .Chris is looking at me ,as to say "Where is it then"

I was sure it was yours Ann,or I just assumed it.

Sheesh ! the temperature has dropped big time out there tonight.I just let Chester out and all I could hear was CRUNCH CRUNCH as he picked his way across the lawn to do a wee.
Am signing off now for the night So stay warm everyone :-D xx

Finally, good evening. What with 24 Emails and all your postings, it's taken me over an hour to post.

The stew was smelling so good, that I had a dishfull at 4.30 and another at 7.00 Ros has only had one but her bowl was bigger than mine.

What did you have then Jane ??

Mandy, I saw the news and all the bad weather. When you get it in Norfolk, you really get it. I know when I was up there in 1959/60 We had some terrible storms. At one time we had to put that chestnut fencing along the boundary fence of the camp at Old Catton, to stop the snow drifts. and when I was at West Raynham, we were snowed in for over a week.

David if you feel that there could be any viruses in my Emails let me know, and I will stop sending them But I must say I have never had any trouble in all the time I have received and sent them.

Ann, Don't forget to mention how HANDSOME I am. LOL LOL. Thanks for all your support. That goes for you all. <3 <3

Time for a beer and a bit of tele,

LUV YER ALL God bless.

I'm still here.
Frank it was Pork and Leek Sausages,with the usual tray baked potatoes,peppers,courgettes,red onions,mushrooms,and shredded cabbage,Leeks with bits of bacon. It was going to be Baked Potatoes ,but I decided because of the funeral tomorrow afternoon it will be easier just to do them tomorrow.
Night Night Handsome ;-)

Just let Toby out and i see we now have freezing fog !!
The little ones schools are closed tomorrow and i don't think hubby will be turning out either ,lets hope for a better day tomorrow .

If i'am not about by lunch time bring your shovels ....i might need digging out :-S :-D

Just read that a journey from Dereham to Norwich which is normally a twenty minute drive is taking five hours because of jackknifed lorries!! :-0 :-S

Night Night .
