Hi everybody, we've got sunshine and the icicles are starting to melt. If we can get another few days like this - some of the snow on the road might melt.

Rita, you've got loads going on with your tree now, sounds great - good luck. Shame about Absalom though, I was hoping you'd get a lead on him. Someone somewhere must know what happened to him.

Alot of snow/ice has melted here to today. Hopefully I will get to work much easier tomorrow. It will feel odd going back afer only working one day out of the last 5!!

Take care tommorrow Lady.
Pauline,I used to like a man in a kilt,but I am not so sure now. Some looked like skinned chickens LOL
Thanks for the e.mails,they made me laugh. Look out Rita, you could be in for a treat.

Hi Went for a short drive locally this lunchtime. Once off our estate not too bad the main roads have slushed. Hope it doesn't freeze again tonight, it will be like a skating rink.
Out near M&S saw a lorry with a plough and it was gritting too.
Then a lorry came round with 2 men spreading grit manually down the biggest road on the estate. Not the smaller ones unfortunately. Wonder if that is because it's refuse day tomorrow?

Finished that bit of knitting just need to sew it up this evening.

Be back later

Linda :o) XxX

Anyone want a headche ? I have had two phones calls from a brother in Law and from a sister in Law asking me when I am going to do their family tree;s I promised them. I joined that writing group but have told them to give ma a little time before I start on that as I have to do these two trees and finish a few other things then I will be free and have time to think what to write.
My son came and took me shopping to Waitrose he brought the car right up to the path as it is a sheet of ice on-top o the snow. The shop was not as full as I expected but the shelves were half empty people must have been buying and stocking up.but I got all I needed. so I am Ok now for a couple of weeks .
Marilyn I hope you have a lovely holiday and have a good journey to and from Cyprus

Love Rita

Oh MO,

What did you think ?
Adams was the better player.......but I wanted Chisnall to win, and his daddy was crying...Awwwwwhhhh.

Rita you should not make promises if you cant keep them ..LOL

I'll say goodbye to you all I don't know if I'll be able to get on in the next two weeks, thanks for all your good luck journeys .

Behave while I'm away....xxxxxx
PS.
Pauline will agree that I need a holiday as I have sent on all her emails to some of you because I thought they were from someone else ! LOL

Mo
I said they were all made of plastic all those little bits. they keep their dirks ready incase they get attacked. I was busy and answering two emails when these all started coming up I ended up with a good half of the page full of funnies.

I have just finished my sister in Law tree and boy have I worked a it I am shattered now. I will need a couple of pain killers when I go to bed.I will try and do my brother in Laws tomorrow that will be harder.

Hi everybody.

We've had the snow plough along our road today, now we just have to hope the ice melts. With a bit of luck we might be able to get out by Wednesday - unless it snows again!!

Linda, you don't have a lot of luck do you? Let's hope you get good results from your tests when they take them again.

Mo, it takes me ages to read my emails some days, I don't send them all on because some of them aren't very good, and some of them I've had 3 or 4 times before.

I hope Marilyn sends us some sun in the post. She really needs this holiday ............believe me!!

Shelly and Rita are both working too hard, take a break you two.

Hope Lady and Sue both got through the snow OK.

Hi All
Well hubby is going into work late tomorrow so he can take me to Drs. The last pick up they have now is by 1:00 in the afternoon while we have bad weather.
Yep checked the website & the refuse men are on gritting duties !!! So no collection this week at all. Then next week we'll see. Recycling will be garden green stuff....................... don't know anybody who has been able to dig their plot or prune their roses? But our cardboard/paper and plastic/ tins collection will be done in 2 weeks and was last done before christmas, about 5or 6 weeks ago by the time they collect. How much will go in ordinary rubbish and not recycling I wonder.

Well I spoke to the Dr and I have an inflammation in my lungs and am being refered to the specialist chest clinic. Do nothing by halves me. Just have to wait for the blood results now. And a clinic appointment.
Be back later

I for got to ask you all I have started using my Ancestry again and find I cannot access the census I did my old way last time and have forgotten how to get back to the old system can anyone tell me how Id o this. please

Rita

Rita, top right-hand side of the page on Ancestry.

At the very top it says 'Upgrade'.
Under that is says 'Quick Links'.
Under that is 'Add to Quick Links'.
Under that it says 'Old Search'.

Just click on Old Search and it goes back to the old way.

Got to work no probs, although I did only go at 30mph on the country road but when I came home the snow had virtually all turned to slush.

Thank you Pauline for that I have another link in my Grandfather family Samuel Bowditch in Dorset and I am trying to find out more about him and I got his details but could not get to the bit where it tells you where he work and what the other members of the family did. and his road etc. I got really annoyed about that.
so I can take a look tomorrw.

Thank you.

I am still chuckling over the Scot and his hanging decorations. as I have scotish people in my family including my Grandmother l dare not send it to any of her family.
Rita
