If MC can go for a walk in adverse weather conditions so can you Toots.. I especially like the beach when it is raining... probably the best time for me to go there as I am not one to go swimming, hate all the showering and cleaning ritual afterwards.

P xx :-)

Enjoy your pamper day Renes cos you're worth it. :-D

It's chucking it down with rain here :-( I hope it clears up so I can take Carlo out. Not much fun in the rain.

Sounds like our Renes is spoiling herself good and proper!! I think I've had a pedicure once and a manicure maybe 3 times.......otherwise, I do it meself..... :-S


Don't do tans either......I prefer to stay......pale and interesting ;-)


Am really jealous of MC though.........a walk by the sea......bliss..... now, that IS something I would love..... :-)


Just having my morning coffee before lunch before picking up daughter before going to coffee shop before going to little supermarket before coming home before getting takeaway before eating said takeaway before taking daughter back home before going to bed. There....that's my day done and dusted..... :-D :-D

Gins ...

Actually £ 17.00 a tub more - than pale duck egg ( which is £22 a tub ) .....

. They don't make pale blue anymore ...... I am told ... Actually they do ... But as you say ..they don't write it on the tub ...........

Will dress before I go ..... But return in a baggy sundress !!! .. coz of the tan and flip flops ... Coz of the nails .......

.oh how we suffers ................

Luckily I is not having me waxing done .... Coz I would be kn***er less too

Very draughty around ones lower aspects ......

The difference between cornflower white and light blue.....£10!

A real pamper day for you Renes but please get dressed before you go out

Just to prove I am up .... Not dressed but up ...
Was very late last night as I had to sort out sitting room after the painters went....
Bye the bye ....
I am now cornflower white so the tin says .... ( most will say it is light blue). of course I will correct them - the rear lobby - hall, bathroom and toilet area , are now pale duck egg ( most will say it is light blue) ........ and if course I will correct them - :-D

I am off to the salon at 1.00am. - for "mini manicure"and "mini pedicure "
( this is not coz I am little ... This is what others would call .. ---- a re polish - having had my monthly pedicures two weeks ago )
Then hair and

Spraytan ....... all ready for my trip to France in the morning ....whoop whoop

Jonesey ...... Bet you is soooooo glad we is all 'ere !!!!!!!

:-D :-D :-D

Ginns - I think it is when the rain comes down in 'big blobs', very heavy and bounces back up from the pavement???

Dea Xxx ;-)

Cynthia :-P

MC, what the heck is: stotting rain :-S

Nothing quite like a a walk in the wind etc .. my mother would tell me that that will blow my cobwebs out.

Gotta fly. late for work. byeeeee.

I absolutely HATE banks, we constantly have to transfer money between accounts at work as part of being the exchequer services function, I can't stand the "computer says no" mentality.

Anyhows, good morning everyone - hope it's better weather where you are than it is here, black skies, stotting rain, howly wind so am going to walk down the prom later and look at the sea.

Good morning................................oooooooooooh.....sausage patties and grilled tomatoes please Sylvs. Thank you very much for that lovely breakfast. I now have to consider something from the brunch menu........ decisions, decisions..... :-D


Glad you had a good meal out with your friends.


Take your time dear Jonesey, take your time. Wouldn't want to rush you at your age.............please, just finish that ciggie and then take time to consider your options.


MEN!



Gins.....you is a plank messing up yer password. Dear oh dear. :-D


Never mind, going into the bank will be good exercise for you.


Dea, I've had to write two cheques this week and I'd almost forgotten how to do it - we rarely use the cheque book these days. Mind you, OH was in banking and still prefers to use cash and cheques rather than cards..........he'd probably use a quill pen if he had the option :-S


He's a funny old thing at times. We have a separate small account in a different bank and I use it purely for any internet transactions for safety. When it needs topping up a bit, he still can't get his head around the fact that we can go into that bank, withdraw money from the other bank account and then pay it into this one. He is getting used to being frogmarched in though..............bless....... :-D


Off for a browse.......it's a bit chilly up North today.........brrrrr.

It's not that simple Dea, it's a business account and the tax man doesnt like stuff like that! If transactions are not transparent they get a bit twitchy

Going in to NW this morning

Good morning all :-D

I will just have a quick bacon buttie before the others get here, although it doesn't look as if we will run out of food today, you have provided a feast for later Sylvs - thank you <3 <3 <3

Do you not have another bank account Ginns, with one of them old fashioned 'cheque book thingies' ? Or one you could use? (JB's or son's ?) then you could just do one 'huge' CHAPS transfer into it and pay everything out of there?

Dea x

Ooops........missed you there J

Soz

Mornin all........

Yeahhh............breakfast is back, good un proper <3

MC, no Friday gang, just me and JB, nattering away at the talking/thinking door

I see Jonesey stirred up the pot and buggered orf!

Going to the bank this morning to pay bills. I put the wrong password into the online banking the other day and it locked me out. Got sent a new activation code, that went t#ts up and have to wait for another one to be sent - 5 days before I get it

Bit of a tricky sittuation, how do I pay any bills/wages when I cant access my account :-0

When I went to the NW yesterday, they couldnt do ANYTHING to help, except CHAPS payments......£28 per transaction :-| Strange that isnt it, account blocked but they can do CHAPS

Buddy banks, what a rip off, its my money and I want it...............

good morning Jonesey!
