Just spoke to Fiona.She says if she is not back tonight she will be in touch as soon as she can after her op.She is all ready now ,just needs to pack the toothbrush.
It will be fine Fiona.Just a good job to get rid of that G B of yours that is causing you all these problems.
I have decided to sleep down here.I just need to get a sheet to put on the settee.I can't be sleeping right on top of leather as it will make me sweat all night :-S :-S.

Well I'm off to bed, All ready for the morning , the alarms on for 5.30 am , as we need to be up and leaving about 1/2 hour later, want to be there for 10 to seven, it takes just over 1/2 hour to get there by motorway usually but we might even be a bit earlier as I don't expect there will be much traffic on the road at that time of the morning,

As Jane say's I will be back on as soon as I am able to get back to the computer, Hope Chester recovers soon Jane. hope you sleep ok tonight,

Love to all <3 <3 <3


Night night

Love to you too Fiona. <3 <3 <3 After tomorrow is out of the way, you can start to look forward to feeling better......soon be done now. We'll be looking forward to hearing from you as soon as you are well enough.

Oh Jane, will you be slipping about on there? I hope you manage to sleep ok. I suppose you wouldn't sleep well upstairs anyway, wondering how he is and he is probably a bit whiney anyway with the anaesthetic after effects. Hope his snoring doesn't keep you awake as well!!

I'm off now too......OH is still at the match, a big one tonight!! Night, night xxx

Morning Kim and all

I hope Fiona went down early and that her op is over now and she is sleeping it off.At least she will have a private room so it will be nice and peaceful.

Well I had quite a good night down here.Except the blooming radio came on again in the kitchen at 3.30 so I got up to shut that off and let Chester out then it was back to sleep until Chris came down at 5.30.
I can't really take Chester out for a little exercise down the lane because the smoke is all down there at the moment.So we will stick to the garden.

Hello Pat, surviving thanks. I do like your new photo too. Hope the two ladies are hired; sounds like you need extra hands on deck and quick.

Jane glad you had some sleep and Chester is a little better today. Can't believe you are still getting smoke - how toxic is it all?

Off to watch tv. Have a good day. 9.30 pm EST

Morning All,

Thoughts for our Fiona and hope it is now all over. Would'nt it be nice if her hubby told us how she was getting on....
We all worry about our friends on here. It is so nice to have so many friends even though we don't see each other , much!

I must tell you all this before I forget once again. Last week I was out in the garden and came in the back door and oh faced me and put his hand up to my ear. Took his hand away and released a sparrow from behind my ear. Said to me "You did'nt know I could do magic like that?" apparently it had flown in the kitchen and he caught it and was going to put it out the back door when I walked in. He is very quick at times!!!!

:-0

Weather not too good here today but it is dry so I thinkj I may load up the washing machine as the bin is full again. It is never ending this washing lark :-|

My, you have been busy nattering. Nothing exciting happens in my life.
Glad Chester is A OK He will start to feel better when he gets the stiches out, and the hair starts to grow.
I'm sure Fiona will be done by now, and in her bed sleeping like a BABY!!

Bumped into the lad that got run down by that drunk driver. He has to be at the hospital this morning for move X rays. It seens his muscles have been ripped from his upper arm/chest The driver was releasted on bail and has returned to Leeds.Has to appear when the case comes to court.

Ros, has run out of wool again, the supplier is out of stock, and waiting for a delivery from SPAIN. I contacted her yesterday, told her what Ros was doing all the knitting for, and she has offered another 50 pence a ball discount to help. How kind is that. :-) :-)

I must go and get showered and dressed. I think it's a Tesc# run this morning. Ros has deep root canal work on her tooth this afternoon. Makes mt toes curl. :-0 :-0 :-0 Not for ME. thank god.

Have a good day all, see you later.

Hope all has gone well for Fiona have been thinking about her this morning.

Tut tut, Mandy, are you replenishing your stash of chocolate, saw one of those health programmes a while ago, according to them a small bar of chocolate has more calories than half a dozen burgers, or something like that .

I used to have one of those magnet things Mel when we had fish, they work really well at keeping the glass clean. Did you ask OH if he could magic some twenty pounds notes from behind your ear ....Lol

Like the new photo Pat, I must sort some more photos out. it's fun seeing you all as babies/toddlers then school photos, growing up before our eyes........

Hope you are taking it easy Kim.

Well Frank, there are some decent people in the world what a kind gesture from the lady in Spain. Don't remind me of the dentist, think my check up is due.

Forgot to mention poor Chester, bet he's playing on all the sympathy now looking at you with those doe eyes Jane, did you share a bed with him last night, I can just picture you waking up face to face with him ...lol

It should give out warnings for POOR HUSBANDS who are sent out to walk the dog !!!! Bit late in the day for this warning JANE. I see in today's Cron and Echo there has been another stabbing in Kettering. Some poor bloke outside a GYM. four stab wounds.. Lock them up and throw away the keys.

Maureen, the woman suppling the wool is from the U.K. The wool comes from Spain. Come on open your eyes :-D :-D :-D :-D

We went to town and I got a haircut. My lovely ISHA (hairdresser) had a good laugh when she asked where the hair was in my ears. I told her what happened with the waxing. and what else she did. NO WAY WOULD YOU GET ME DOING THAT she said. We then got onto talking about hot/ spicy food, I said I suppose you like your men the same way. She said When are you going to find out.??? Ros laughed like mad, and said You are Welcome.. I said if your father heard you talking like this He would lock you up. She is Asian. but what a good laugh. It always brightens my day when I go there.

After doing a shop at Morriso#s, we were driving home, and there were a group of FIVE council workers on a corner. ONE had a broom, ONE had a shovel, ONE had a sack. and TWO stood watching. they were suppose to be clearing leaves. :-D :-D :-D :-D That's where our Council Tax's GO !!!

Has Fiona got to stay in hospital tonight ???

Poor old Ros is now sitting in the dentists chair having her tooth worked on. Don't know if she will fancy dinner tonight. Might just want soup. I have done a large chicken, for roasting with roast pots, parsnips, and veg. If she dosen't want it, I will leave it till tomorrow.

Wind has got up here and blowing quite stong, plenty of cloud, might get some rain.

Have bought two chysantemums (large Yellow blooms) must get them in the garden. Instant colour.!!
