Hi everybody.

Sue, I have cider vinegar and honey in hot water on a morning.

LOL Mo, Lady milks cows, can't put them in a briefcase and take them home to do.

I bet that gave you a laugh Lady.

Rita, you can get one of those trays with folding legs to put your lappy on, when you get it.

Mo, how old is you granddaughter? And how old is your nephew?

Mo, they are really young, life just isn't fair sometimes is it? All the family must be so worried about them. Keep us in the loop about their progress.

I wonder if Marilyn got away.

Mo I am pleased they have come through their operations thats a start let pray they will be oK now and be able to get on with their young lives.Bless them.

(I thought Marilyn said she was flying out on monday last monday )

The snow is still laying about here no melt-down at the moment. when a lorry went by it left a pile of snow about 6 inches deep.on the road.

Hi Ladies
Yes Marilyn came up to London Monday and was due to fly Wednesday. I hope she got away. Nothing worse than airport delays.

I've put to one side any thoughts of flying at the moment until I find out what is wrong with me. We usually go away early March. So hopefully I see somebody soon.

HELP...!!!!!!!

I'm still here....in England.

We have been at Gatwick since 6am this morning, and we watched the snow being cleared off the runways.....ALL DAY..

When it was clear they never had a fresh crew to fly the ruddy aircraft, at 5pm they decided to transport us to a hotel in Croydon ....So this is where I am ..LOL

Just had an evening meal because we have to be up and ready by 5am for a morning flight !!

Mind you we have a good crowd with us so its been quite a laugh all round.
I came up on Monday to stay with friends then on Tuesday night we stayed at the Travel Lodge at Gatwick.

Hope you all are missing me ......I'm for the record a professional traveller and not retired ..LOL

All take care .....would love to have you all with me
Marilyn xxxxxxxxxxxx
