Oh David that sounds great Senecot with Aloe Vera I will let my brother know and try it. Poor man was on the phone this afternoon.He was in pain.

I simply sat on the computor mouse Jane having to stay in bed. Had the doctor not come I would have removed it.

I am busy typing a story about my witch relation my brother said she was harmless but all those potions it would make a great story.

I hope Mel is ok ,I found a message from her she is very sweet .

I loved West Riding last night but what a sad ending that poor horse and the hero died .But was thrilled that lovely girl with the curly hair did well and became a beautiful teacher. BBC dramas seem to end very quickly.
Sitting in bed got on my nerves I got a pain in my side so got up washed the kitchen floor and took the dogs out. If I am going to pop my clogs I will die happy at least.


FIONA I am glad your computor screen arrived.
Jane I hope your eyes are ok nothing serious I hope.
The butcher who gives me the scrag end for the dogs made me giggle
he left two lamb chops behind the billboard and put a note on them for Sheila and the dogs. They are so small me and the dogs would be fighting over them .
So it was SHIRLS BIRTHDAY HOPE YOU HAD A LOVELY DAY.

Yes Shirl, I don't think he'd mess you about or get into mischief!!!! lol, lol Your lunch out sounds good...........I would have enjoyed all of it!!! Nice to hear you are relaxed with a nice glow.

Sheila, I am thinking you are not resting like your doctor wanted you to? Don't do too much too soon will you.

Does anyone have voice recognition software so you can speak to your PC and it types rather than using the key board?

No David I don't think so , well none of us regulars anyway.

Morning to all Playmates,

Another frosty cold start but it is still dry and bright here.

Sheila you do as the doc says and rest PLLEEAAASSSSSSE.

Tell us who this witch was and can we look up anything for you? Was it back in time or recent?

Slept like a log last night and did'nt even have to get up for a wee. Woke to bright sunshine coming through the windows.

Morning Everyone
What a lovely morning it is too.A heavy frost first thing and I think it was -6 when Chris got up at 5.30.
I hope the computer doesn't misbehave like yesterday.It was a real pain.
I need to whizz into town in a while so am just going to have a quick coffee and then off.

See you all a little later.Fingers crossed

I saw a used version for sale on ebay, at a very reasonable price.
Wonder if you'd feel daft talking to your computer?

Morning my little Pansies.

How are we all today.????

The Holiday home in France sleeps six. So put your requests in writting and I will give you all due consideration !!!! Don't all rush at once. My heart couldn't stand it lol lol I am trying to get a break from one, now all these offers !!!!

Smashing, lovely and all the other expressions, to discribe the day. I see we won't be having any frosts this week, Is that a good sign to do the lawns ???? I've decided not to go digging today. Back and shoulders ache a bit.

Madam is off out with a friend, won't see them till about 5pm. nice day on my own. Do what I like, when I like.

David, Is that computer like the one these paralyised people use ???? As you say it would be strange taking to a computer, But I talk to myself all the TIME. that way I don't get any silly answers!!!!

Trust all you sickies are progressing well, and doing as you are told.

Jane

Jane Report 8 Mar 2011 11:26

I think I would only use something like that if I had problems with actually typing.Are you thinking of buying it David?

Look I am still here and haven't gone out yet lol..........I'm off now.

Morning all
David at the moment if I could talk to my computer and it would listen it would certainly pack in all together , as I woudn't have a nice word to say to it, poor old thing is getting on in years, I all ready have told it that it's going to be partially retired hopefully in a week or so and a new model is coming to stay.
We have decided to keep the old computer for the future so the grandkids (if there's anymore) can play on it, also it's all ways handy just incase any of the family need to use it, while I am on my new one.
Dull today and windy(the weather outside not me thank you)
just staying in and doing a few odd jobs around the house

Lovely day here weatherwise. Really nice long walk with Millie this am, had a bit of a clear up. Feel much more positive housewise. You're right Frank, the bills will far less severe, which will be wonderful, and we shall soon get used to a smaller place. I talk to myself too, well, you have to talk to someone!!!! particularly when you are rabitting, and your OH is bored with what you're going on about!!!! Sickies in this house are progressing really well, just the usual problem which is showing signs of improvement! my back is much better, just a bit achy now and again. Your holiday home sounds tempting Frank! all that sun and sea - If I were you I'd go for it!!

Haven't been out in the garden today. The wind is realy cold. I must look after this body of mine. Nobody will want it otherwise LOL LOL.

Have had the Cencus turn up today. All filled in and signed, just Ros to sign. Then it can sit in the Envelope till the end of the month. Has anybody noticed the number of Languages they can be printed in. Must cost us a fortune. !!!! Good job the answers are mostly ticks in boxs. Or you would need an army of people to read the answers.

Have got my CD on in the conseratory. Nice to play music you like and not have the B####y TV on.

Have put the dinner on a low gas, it can simmer away for 3 hours or so. and will be just great. I have made the Pancake mix, and put it in the fridge. Lemon and sugar is our coverings, I heard on the radio this afternoon that one school had melted Mars Bars and Iceing sugar. on theirs I bet that was sweet !!!!

Afternoon buddies

Frank I haven't seen anything in the paper about that accident that you saw.I will have another look in tomorrows.
It will be lemon and sugar on our pancakes too.I think I will cook them this afternoon and then just heat them in the microwave,Hannah isn't in until late this evening and I don't fancy cooking pancakes then.
I got my letter from the Woodlands Hosp about my appointment.That was quick ,I only made it yesterday afternoon.

Although the sun is shining brightly it is blooming chilly with that wind.Not half as warm as yesterday.I will warm up in a minute with some ironing lol
But first a nice cuppa.

Mandy are you still Bug Free?I hope your son and family soon get over theirs.

Mandy, that reminds me about our little poodle we had, she loved a cup of tea, also a glass of beer !!! If you put your glass on the floor, beside your chair, she was there and would drink down the glass ,till her tounge could reach no further. She also would go down the back stairs, into the shop and get herself a bag of Cheese and onion crisps. She would only ever bring the same flavour, whether the shop was in darkness or not. !!! And that is totally true. She would also sit in front of the fridge for a piece of cheese. I swear that dog was human.

I've never tried cooking pancakes and then warming them later. Always straight from the pan onto the plate.

Just poped out to the garage, and that wind is enough to "cut you in half" going to put the heating on now.

Dinner smells great.!!!!

Hi All

Hubby just walked thro door complaining of temperature. It is bright and sunny and has dried the jeans but very cold. I have managed to do some more holiday washing but now have the ironing to consider.
Have had my hair cut today. I thought I would try something different and hairdresser gave me a Hel*n Mirr*n look. At the moment it looks good but just wait until tomorrow.
We are also having pancakes for tea but will have golden syrup and Nutella on them as well as lemon.
Jane I can just remember the holiday as so much happening since and tan fading fast.
Sheila I laughed at your computer mouse story but please take care and do as you are told by the doc. Bed rest is boring but you will feel sooo much better afterwards.
Still no baby and no messages today but have done the chores and am ready to go again whenever
Meeting finished at 10pm so not too bad. Hotel where we meet gone into administration so we may have to look elsewhere in the near future.
Off to make the pancakes
