Goodmorning Everyone, Had to get up early this morning with my eldest daughter Nicki shes 14 and she starts her first day in her Saturday job today in a friends hairdressers, she is so excited and has a long day ahead of her, she doesnt normally rise till lunch time at the weekend so its a bit of a shock to her system today getting up at six! Hope you all have a lovely day whatever your doing! Marie

morning marie....feels a bit chilly this morning .....hope your daughter enjoys her first day at work ann xx

Morning Annie and Marie and a very good morning from Manchester. Davex

Morning Marie. Hope your daughter enjoys her first day at work. Germaine x

Morning Annie, yes its a bit chilly here in Stoke on Trent too, and I am sure my daughter will have a lovely day, she has been looking forward to it for ages, she is doing a two year course whilst she is at the hairdressers so that she will have the first two years of qualifications by the time she leaves school, so she will have a head start on most people her age that want to do hairdressing. Marie

Goodmorning Germaine and Dave, Whats the weather like where you are? is it chilly like here? Marie

Dave where abouts are you in Manchester, my mum and dad live near to there in Chadderton Oldham where I was brought up. Marie

marie wish one of mine went into hair dressing could get a freebie.....still we get our joinery done free off son ann xx

Yes I have been told I will get freebies when she qualifies, I already get discount off my friend though at the moment, but you wouldnt think it looking at the state of my hair this morning! Marie

It is dry here but cold I think Derek was up before me and has a lovely coal fire going. At least the rain has stopped for a while. That is good getting her qualifications before your daughter leaves school Marie, bet you will be really proud of her. Morning Dave Germaine x

Hi Marie I live in Walkden now but originally I was from Longsight very near where Belle Vue was. Davexx

Hi Dave, My mum and dad were brought up in Harpurhay near Bernard Mannings Club, but I remember them telling me they used to go dancing at Belle Vue years ago in the sixties.........Happy Days as my dad describes them. Marie

Yes love my coal fire sometimes think should we change but then when it is cold and raining it is so cosey. Doesn't take long to clean and get going. i have my heaters running off it too. We have no gas as when we moved in it wasn't switched on and I had had a bad experience with the gas in the old house so didn't fancy it. Although coal can be costly it is so much less worry only the chimney sweep in to clean the chimney once or twice a year. Trouble is when anyone comes they will stand in fornt of it. If they don't fall asleep staring at it LOL Germaine x

you never know I probally danced with your Mum at the top ten club at Belle Vue on a Sunday night brilliant Jimmy Saville was the DJ Davex
