Morning Everyone,

Dull & wet here. OH just come back from collecting the hired car a GOLF, big difference to our JAG, our car will be collected and taken to the garage to get the scratch fixed that happened at Edinburgh airport at the beginning of this week, probably will take a couple of days,

Plan to do some housework this morning, waiting for a parcel to arrive in the post then, OH says he will take me down to town to get a berevement card & flowers for my next door neighbour her father passed away yesterday morning, he would have been 90 next month.

time to put the kettle on.

I got caught in the rain after taking the grandchildren and
Mocha to the park this afternoon..It looks like we have a storm heading this way now..Has come over very dark ...Did have some snow flurries earlier..It is very tiring keeping an eye on the dog as well*..Jack is only 17 months old and Mocha keeps jumping up on him and licking his face lol..

SNOW Pat?Nothing like that here.It come over very dark just as I set off to the Hairdressers and i thought we were in for a deluge ,but no nothing.Chris did say he heard a few rumbles of thunder though.Now it's blue sky again.

LOL Chester just got his head stuck under a table trying to get to a bit of food .He looked so funny :-D :-D

How nice to see that cousin Pat.Will you see her again ?
Now it nearly 6 and I will have 2 hungry men asking when dinner is soon.Easy one tonight .Baked Potatoes for Chris and Pizzas for James and me.Perfect after such a hectic day with coffee and natters this morning and chilling at the hairdressers this afternoon :-D ;-) :-D

Family all gone home , it's nice and quiet again ,it gets a bit hectic when it time for them to go home , all trying to find their shoes and coats !!

Poor Toby's worn out , he just goes round and round when the little ones come , he doesn't want to miss out on any thing ,now he's sleeping like a top!!

We had some hail this afternoon then it turned to rain, but its all dried up now .

Oh dear Shirl...I sense an ear bashing on it's way for your Daughter :-S It's no joke though when you are all ready for something and you just sit and wait like Billy No Mates :-S

Bless Toby.Chester is just the same when we have people here .On the go all the time and then collapses in a heap when they have all gone.Snoring for England.
I had the reminder for his Boosters this week ,and do you know what Chris said??????.........Is it worth it ,he may not last another year :-S :-S :-S.I won't tell you my reply :-|.I will book an appointment for Chester ,and he gets a health check at the same time.He has a few more warty things that have appeared and has lost a lot of muscle.I can feel all his vertebrae in his spine now.I just hope it is old age and nothing else.

James and Chris have had their Dinner but I'm not that hungry yet ,so will put my Pizza in shortly .

Going back to when I was a child, we all ate the same meal .None of this separate meals milarky .Tea was on the table at a certain time ,and that was it.It is too easy these days to do several different meals .Sometimes I think I am a bit of a mug .But it is my own fault :-| Hey Ho ! that's life :-D

Me too Mandy.It reminds me of when I met my Birth Brothers just 3 years ago.
It was the most weirdest thing that has ever happened to me.I never got to meet my Birth Mother.This might sound harsh ,but I wasn't bothered about that.She had so many children by so many Fathers,and all the others had quite a shitt* life growing up.I was just darned lucky to be adopted by 2 wonderful people who really wanted children.

I do remember the moment one of my BB's saw me and the first words out his his mouth were "OH "F" it's my Mother".I look very much like her :-S :-S
Right I've blown my nose and stopped the sniffles after the programme ,and am now of to bed.
Night Night everyone x
