Mo

I was in the Land Army in 1946 on a market Garden one in Weybrige Surrey .I pulled up weeds weeds weeds and more weeds on my knees in the fields trying to spot what were the weeds and what were veg growing
blooming hard work that was and I didnt like getting up so early in the morning about 5 .as we had to wash. have breakfast collect our sandwiches and wait for the truck to pick us up and take us to the farms some of us were on Fruit and veg farms other on animals.

Rita

That doesn't sound nice Mo, out picking veg in the frost. I suppose you got a nice tan in the summer though.

Rita, that's where you got your arthritis from ........... kneeling down in the fields pulling up weeds ... lol Maybe you should claim compensation from the government.

Marilyn, I know you'll be making the most of it and having a laugh with all the other stranded people, you've got a good outlook on life. Hope you get away OK in the morning, you'll be getting up at the same time as me and Lady, bet you've never seen 5am before.

Linda, I hope they get you sorted out before March, my God, they can't mess you around for much longer. I hope when they find out what's wrong, they don't hang around.

Are you still up Shelly? Think I might be on my own here.

Did Sue fight her way back through the snow?

Going to read my emails now .............. that means you'll be getting a load of emails in the morning!!!!!!!

GOOD MORNING ALL

Hi Girls
I had to cancel my blood test this morning the second one . (my INR Warfarin one ) as it is a sheet of ice I told her I was so sorry but there is no way I can get out of my flat the road at the back is thick snow and ice in front of my flat the car park which I have to cross to get out onto the main road is thick slush and icey patches.she said dont worry I will try and get the district nurse to call and do it.
so I hope she can I have pills to collect at the chemist been there since Monday I think I will have to ask them if they will deleiver I hate putting people out but there is nothing I can do about.
my left foot is improving but my right one is still painful. what an old wreck I am.

Rita

Morning Rita
I was going to suggest you ask if they could come to you to do the blood test. I'm sure that you can't even try to get there and it does need doing. Also I am sure your regular chemists will bring the medicines to you. They know you and if they can they will want to help and make sure you keep your medication going.

Please don't go out unless you have somebody with you.

The baby's Mum said the roads were more slippery today even with some snow melting.

Take care everyone

Linda :o) XxX

rita its not putting people out its there job so let them come to you
look at it this way if it was your job you wouldent think twice about it so just sit back and let every one eals do all the runing around.

i think all how snow has gone we have had a lot of rain in the nite and it is still raining and looking out of the window no snow

locally peeps wiv 4x4 are helping nurses & carers to get to patients!

yard drive was horrendous this morn! 3 cars got stuck & hit the fence,
me an the other 4x4 only jus managed to get down....lol
main rds are ok, but im still delivering in 4x4 coz estates are bad
ice rinks

Linda I think they will come to me but they only do them Mon/Tues?Wednesday and Thursday as you will know.
A firend phoned to say she was going to the paper-shop and Waitrose was there anything I needed. she got my perscription for my "gout "and also brought me some Cider Vineigar at the Honey. then she kindly went into the paper -shop and got me a TV Times and "Take A Break "and "Chat "puzzel books which I have everyweek.
she told me it is quiet bad going over the car park as it has started to thaw and it so slippery she neary slipped over she said dont get any food out of your freezeer tomorrow I will go and get Fish and Chips. we have that every two weeks you can only get there by car
The Dustman came in there big Cart and could not get onto our car park they said it was too dangerous their wheels kept sliding so they got out of the cart and walked in pairs and pushed the metal commercial bins out to the Dust-cart

I had a lovely Air-mail letter from one of the Soldiers I write to who is in Afganistan he is in the 4th Rifles and I send mail to some of them to try and cheer them up and let them know they are always in our thought.
I was so pleased to receive it. he told me all about serving out there. I must reply as soon as I can. God Bless them all.

Rita

Thank you Mo
I hope she does come to do my blood if it is still like this ? I will be too scared to try and walk on this slush.
, A friend who got my shopping has just brought me over "The Family Tree Magazine " she buys it every month and lets me read it. she is very kind would do anything for anyone she is the one who lived in Cyprus for 11 years in Papos. I wonder if that is where Marilyn has gone ?.

Rita

Hi all.

Rita, Shelly's right, the district nurses always go out to people who can't get to the clinic. They come to our house to give my son his flu jab every year. I usually go to the chemist to collect his medication but we were snowed in for 3 weeks so I just rang them and they brought it out to us.

No one will expect you to risk going out in dangerous conditions. I'm pleased you have such a good friend who got some shopping for you. Get started on your honey and cider vinegar straight away, it'll take a few weeks before you feel any better.

Thats good to know they will do that but being as your son has a disability they should come to him anyway..
I have to take my hat off to you Pauline with all your problems you still come up smiling I bet there are times when you dont feel like smiling..

perhaps someone on here can give me some advice on looking in Newspapers for information in Late 1800s. and 1915 I have put out a thread on Records and have been given some information but still dont know where to start do I google it or is ANCESTRY the place to look.

I told you I am a bit dense but you seem to find your way around easy enough..

rita

I forgot to tell you I had my hot matches this morning and was merrily deleting and I deleted one that I realised had a few of my Horwood names. another I noticed my fathers name.
what a b Idiot I am.

Rita

Had to watch Emmerdale, then it was grub time, then I had to watch Witless Silence..lol

Mo you need not rub it in I am really angry with myaelf HOW COULD I BE SO SILLY.I was day dreaming at the time and saw Horwoods Mells go saling bye and was still deleteing when I saw my fathers name go bye and everything was correct his full name birth year and where born

Anyway if I got them on Hot Matches they might get mine unless they took them off my tree some how.
well we live and learn.

I watched East Enders last night and even they are doing cliff hangers 3 million and other bits of his estate and the Vic goes to ???????



ROXY she was his darling. thank god it is not going to Peggy with her terribbe daughter and to Phil her drunken sonwho forgets he has a son.

rita

Morning All
Rita do you not have any idea who you deleted as it goes into like a rubbish bin and you can bring it back up ...................... if you remember their name.

Friends came to dinner yesterday evening. My lovely hubby did the shopping, while I still had the baby. Then prepared all the food and served it too. He then loaded the dishwasher. Bless him I just had no energy and am still getting a tightness across my chest.

Still I did some research for the husband of my friend. He is from Southern Ireland and knows little of his ancestors. Well the 1911 census is free online for a lot of Ireland now and I found his father with 2 brothers and 2 sisters. Then surprise his parents not with them but he working as a servant and the wife a visitor in the house. They had been married 33yrs and had 11 children with 10 living. He knew none of this. It also shows that the family had a pigsty and chicken coop. He was quite pleased with this found in 10 minutes. At first it looked like his sister being head of house and single???? But looking I then saw they were all brothers and sisters.So I shouldn't jump to conclusions should I. There was 16 years between them, so not unreasonable. The eldest sister was 31 and the youngest brother only 9. That poor mother must have spent her life being pregnant !!! Another thing that jumped out was that a neighbours house had NO roof, but was still occupied by a family. Classed as 3rd level housing !!!

Have a good day everyone Snow is melting here at last, but still looks a bit icy.

Linda :o) XxX

morning all

rita all is not lost go in to search tree and put in the names that was in hot match and you should then be abel to pick the other person out cos there name will come up on the people you no thay had a match with.

i dont watch East Enders sorry i think it is a lowed of crap

lappy playing up think ill shut down and log back on see if that is eny better

heair hunters is on at 9.15 bbc1 iv mist most of the new ones

have you all been watching it

Rita, I hope you manage to find the hot match you deleted, by putting your dad's name in the 'Search Trees'. Linda, what is the other way to do it?

Linda, your find was a good one, your friend's husband must be over the moon with you. Where is the Irish 1911 free?

Mo, my son's bus is back on the run and they can get to us (thank God), he started back on Wednesday. The road is still icy and not easy to drive on but the main roads are clear. I was really nervous driving on the ice but managed to stay on the road.

I don't watch that programme Shelly but I do like 'Silent Witness'. Lady, I forgot about it last night and missed it.

Looks like Marilyn got away then.

Seen as Sue didn't make us a cuppa this morning I'll do it.
