I'm here ...

But had an unexpected guest to look after.....my granddaughter !

Now I'll have to take her in the town with me..ughhh.

I can always run around faster on my own....must avoid going near toy shops !!

Thanks for the tea Linda,
I do give my One man band binman a bottle of wiskey as he's our village bin man .

Post men are changeable around here as they come by van, so I don't bother with them.

Shelly and Linda i have been up since 7 but have been busy doing things bout the flat. sorted my washing out as I have that to-do this morning got sasuages out of freezer for my dinner and peeled the potaot'es ready for the mash and peeled the onion. and cried why I did it Lol.

all my cards have gone off sorry all but one and I cannot find his new address. the local ones i am doing as I go along.

I could not give my postman a tip as we never have the same one we have a different one nearly everyday.
The binmen I don tip them either as we get different binmen and then men that come and collect the recycle stuff.
I used th tip all the above when we had the same people call but not any longer.
I do give a card into the charity shop to all the assistances one card they put up on there board. as I know them all well.

shelly if I told fibs I would have a long nose or pimples on my tounge and i have none of these things so there .

Our postman comes around 1 .30 to 3 oclock and we have ascruity doors so they have to ring someone to let them in to delevier and guess who they ring ME usually i am having my dinner or droped off for a nap. we have nice postmen they are all indian when I first came here I had one postman only and he was John and we got on well but since he left we have different ones. The Dustman take everything out of the communal bin so we dont really see them . but they are very pleasant.

Oh, think I got here too late, just missed Shelly.

Rita, we have different postmen every day and they all come at different times as well, and they mix everyone's mail up.

Linda, Our binmen drop things all over the place and then just leave it. The street always looks a mess after they've been. I do give a Christmas present to the binman who collects the medical waste (yellow sack) because we get the same man all the time.

Marilyn, have you only got one man to collect the rubbish? He must waste loads of time getting in and out of the van.

Mo, is your kitchen all done now?

Where's Sue?

Yvonne, I got my tree up yesterday as well.

Hi Everyone,

Yes Pauline my binman has all the little villages to collect and there are only a few houses in each hamlet.I don't think he would ever want anyone else helping him as he gets all the goodies at Christmas....I bet he's like father Christmas by the end of the day...!!

I have this granddaughter that's talking to me non stop while I message this and I'm going to scream !!!
Hubby is asking for HIS lunch.......going mad here LOL

Pauline I dont know where to look for wills either I am fiddling about trying to see if my Grandfather who died 14th Feb 1923 in Isleworth Fever hospital left anything he was living in lodging witha women who was a friend of the family but we dont lnow who she was . Gran said he was having an affair with her but my Dad and his brothers and sister said it was not true. and as his address was on the death certiciate I was looking to see if he left her his little bits he didnt have anything of value but my Aunty his only daughter ended up with his bore war medals which came to me through her when she died. so he must have left them to her. it is not gain I want to know but what happened to his things.
