I quite like that Peppered Smoked Mackerel thats already cooked ,you can heat it, and if i do, i do it in the microwave .

Sheila, it all happens round your way doesn't it .
You carn't fool children can you, April knew it was a different sheep, fancy giving you another one and not saying anything about it !!!

Mel, we have to use that hand gel when we go in our dentists ,but they open the doors for you so we don't have to touch any door handles , i always keep a small bottle of hand gel in my hand bag ,when i go in any Loo's i wash my hands, then use the gel when i get the other side of the door , its also handy to use on the grandchildren when they've been ,as they touch allsorts !!!!

I know what you mean Mandy.

I am still not sure about this Alice Street Mandy. When I look at the census Alice Maud Street is a few doors away from Mary Ann Sadler who was John Sadler's 1871 Grandmother born Messing Essex. On the marriage of John Sadler to an Alice!!! there are two Alice's, one Alice Maud and the other just Alice. The other males name on the same day is Charles Francis Bartlett and when I look him up his wife is Alice Maud. The other Alice Looker also lives not far the daughter of Arthur Looker.

I am sorry to hear about Ros Frank; for her to have to wait up to another six weeks is quite uanacceptable as the delay is the hospital's fault, perhaps making a few waves might be in order if it turns out to be that long. Went to Barnstable this pm, OH wanted computer odds and ends, I went to 'Pet World' and bought Millie some 'ear wipes' and a toothbrush!! Tomorrow, must do some work on Tree! No, Mel, NOT J.R!!!!!

I think this will be a very late night for me.I was supposed to be picking `Hannah up from the station at 9.30.But she and a couple of friends are stuck at St Pancras.The trains out have been cancelled as someone has thrown themselves on the track somewhere.I think they are going to try and get to Luton and get another train from there.What a blooming nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I had better top myself up with some coffee.

I have never been successful using a toothbrush on Chester,even those that you sick on the end of your finger.He just won't keep his head still lol

Mel as you say it is terrible when someone does this .It won't be just the family of the person,but the poor Train Driver who will be traumatised,maybe never be able to work again.

Sorry you have been let down yet again David with someone not turning up to view.I suppose at least they cancelled first so you won't be hanging around waiting for them.

Sheila,poor little April and Sheep.I'm surprised the man thought she wouldn't notice that it was a different one.

I know what I would like to do to that Grandson of your Neighbours!!!.That was terrible of him to do that.I hope that leg of yours soon feels better.It must be frustrating having to rest it all the time.

I think I will have just one more cup of coffee.I don't want to be up and down to the loo all night.I haven't even had my drop of wine tonight !!!.Maybe I will have a glass when I eventually get in later.

Morning All,

We have sunshine for the first time for ages. Big fluffy white clouds and everything looks a lot brighter today.

Sheila thanks for the emails. I tried but could only get a house with a white front door.

Frank how's Ros today? Not in too much pain I hope.

I would have beat you to the first posting if I had'nt taken the time to read all my emails this morning.

Well I have togo down the shop for my first Saturday paper in weeks. I have missed my giant crossword in the Mail. I have Mondays paper for the answers which mum used to keep and I used to ask her if I had it right. It was a great help but OH won't do that for me.

Morning at last, taken me half an hour to get a web connection.

Jane, that is terrible, when I worken and lived in London, that was a regular thing. Throwing themselves under the electric train around the system. Must be very hurt people who do that. (in mind) You just don't know what tips them over the edge.

Ros, Was in a lot of pain last night after sitting around the Hospital all day and in the cars, she was pleased to get streached out on the sofa last night and relax. I got dinner, washed and dried up. I have made the bed this morning, will have a quick Dyso# round and flick a duster here and there. and thats me done.

I have had about 7 calls from these Johnies about surveys. I just had one from "the Accident Bureau" same type of Foreign voice I told him to P### OFF.

I going to contact BT again in a minute. They have already told me that these calls souldn't come to my number. BAH HUMBUG.!!!

Goodmorning or afternoon or Hello where ever you are in the world.

It's a beautiful sunny morning here very cold, and snowy we had about 3 inches last night, luckly we were all safe in sound in the house when it started.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts yesterday, the day was a very long one but once the limo arrived it was ok. the Chapel of rest was full and and a lot of people carried on to the crematoriuom (sp) , I have done my dad proud. it was a lovely service and many kind words were spoken from everyone. we had about 25 people that joined us back at the hotel for tea.
and SIL brought Sofia to join us and she kept busy toddling around the tables for kisses and hugs which kept every one smiling.
It was good to see mum relatives. but unfortunatly my cousins from England could not make it, but I have spoken to them on the phone this morning.
So I can now relax ,

Frank, hope Ros is more comfortable today.
OH took his mum home this morning and won't be back till later this afternoon, so I am tidying up and sorting out where every thing is , over the last 2 weeks odds & ends have not been put back in the normal places and the house was upside down.
lunch time
