S'mae pawb~~~

Shaun ~~~Touch type is typing whilst looking at the screen...not the keys , I have to look at the keyboard all the time,fortunately this PC will spell-check GR, but the one on the laptop doesn't .
I don't know how you alter it and don't want to mess about with the laptop , it not being mine !
You seem to have had such different weather from us, hubby's been in the garden most days ,and was changing some patio blocks he thought were badly cut. It showed up over the bad weather.
Small brick like, they looked fine when they where put down but after a while you notice the imperfections of the cuttings...he had spare bricks and has made a much better job..main area is fine..
Sorry wifey hasn't been able to get out into the garden ,hubby catches the sun tho is fair skinned and his his face and arms are quite tanned.
Glad you are keeping up with the Dr's orders.!!

Beth ~~ I hope you are feeling better ,we all have colds or something or other ,dau has found some liquid medication..Lemsip as she can't take tablets (childhood thing from getting a sweet stuck in her throat her nan gave her ! )

Jude ~~Will reply to your PM in full soon I did a screed and someone ( son) GRRR wanted to print out on her and it all went down the shute :(
Couldn't get the house link from the message so typed it in ,then had to put in the number afterwards.
Looks very nice ,we've had a bungalow since 1977, but had upstairs dormer I guess in 1987 when second child came along.
The big bedroom downstairs would have suited 2 same sex children for a while ,but dau has the upstairs one...which either looks as if has been been burgled or is clean as a pin ?!! I refuse to tidy it as I don't know where things go.....plus I'd have to step over all the clothing on the floor to get at anything.
Clean in piles or used in heaps ! Plus her clothes bin.
The new bungalow looks good ,it's not far from where you are now.
Doesn't show the garden much...would you prefer a smaller garden ?
Your other looked quite a medium size ( I'm used to big gardens and that would definitely be a consideration) if we ever moved.
Hope Vic gets over his chest probs soon.

My left ear is blocked :(Hope that doesn't mean a trip to the Dr on Mon :(
After working in the Gov dept for over 30 yrs ,being right handed ,you tend to answer the phone with your left hand as you have to write with your right hand, most peeps do it but you don't do it day in day out. So my best 'hearing ' ear is my left
Hubby and the children pick the phone up with their right hand..which do you do ?

Think it's time for beddie byes
Nite to all~~~~~~
Luv
Sandie,xx

Shaun...did you say G Granddaughter to Sue...she'll thump you if you ever meet up.....LOL ;-) :-D

Pleased to hear you doing as the Doc ordered, l've been telling everyone about your rotten weather, they sympathise (sp)

Bethan...l hope we have'nt passed on all our germs, our neighbour has had the BUG, we may have passed it onto him from last week at sons, they had just about everything going and now the other nanny has it:((...SO TAKE CARE OF YOU as Shaun says, you have had alot going on and you can only do so much...OK????

Von...hey that sounds exciting, hope the exhibition goes well:)
l will send you the link re house:)...l'm all for it but we still need to ask questions, Vics not feeling 100% so wants to wait until his head is clear before he goes any further.

Sandie...did you get hold of your son?? Sandie phoned my mobile be mistake, was trying to call her son and pressed the wrong button....dohh...my son is always doing that to me, he puts phone in pocket and often as he does it rings me...oooo er..lol

AnnC...all l can say is "have a good weekend".....LOL ;-) ;-)...say no more...lol;-) ;-)

Sylvia...is it still snowing? Hows the foot and are you feeling better now?? Take care:)


Did a pm session at charity shop, so frustrating cause nothing matches up anymore...all the photo's and garments should be in a kind of order....BUT ITS NOT and the guy who takes photo's has'nt been in for ages so l'm doing that as well....its so frustrating cause l can't get stuff online and when l do l have rushed the photos...grrr and the site is so slow....grrrrrr....do you know what....l'm going in on Sunday to try and sort it, must be mad.

Saw Phil yesterday, he's ok:))

Doing a skype with daughter tomorrow am, sister coming too, then we can all see the new baby and her sister:)
Sister is abit better, SOMUCH SO THAT THE STAFF AT SHOP HAVE MENTIONED IT for the past 2 weeks!!!! and atlas taking her tabs, so to me she does not have dementia....myself and the doc had a right old talk to her a couple of weeks ago and it worked!!!!...she still has a memory prob though, but l think she's got into the habit of saying the same thing...:(( unless she see's fit to do different especially when someone else is about!!!! l must sound awful, but my mind keeps flitting from dementia to not dementia...and l think right now NOT DEMENTIA....
Ok thats it, l'm off to bed to read me kindle on touchpad:))...shusssssssh l'm the one who said they not get a kindle....lol

Not hiding Shaun although this weather is enough to make anyone hide under the duvet :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0
Pleased to hear that you are doing as the Dr ordered.

I've been busy doing art stuff as I've got an exhibition coming up and had to get stuff ready. Met with a framer yesterday to get stuff properly framed.

Jude - Hope you and Vic are feeling better. Interesting that you were looking at properties as I had a look online the other day. Decided to stay put though for the time being at least. We live in a bungalow so everything is in place for my old age ;-) ;-) ;-)

Bethan - Hope you too are feeling better. Make sure you have plenty of vitamin C or cake as both will help you feel better :-) :-) :-)

Sue- congratulations on the new grand daughter. How's the recovery going? Well I hope.

Sylvia - make the most of the sunshine. It seems to be in short supply everywhere else.

Take care

Noswaith dda pawb // Good Evening Everyone :-))))
What a terrible week it's been weather wise, a right mixture of rain , sleet, snow and strong winds wrecking the garden plants and shrubs. OH as failed to get in the garden this week so very frustrated . We have got the poly-tunnel up to standard regarding getting some plants in but with these low temperatures during the night and day I will not be rushing, we live in a frost pocket so it would not pay to start to early rearing plants .

Hazel, hope all this extra worry regarding Atos will sort it's self out and they will see sense after hearing from your GP, thinking of you <3

Sandie,we are not to bad thank you , I'm doing as GP as ordered ie less sitting and more laying down, OH is fretting a bit because she would like to do some jobs in the garden and it's to wet to get out. You do :-S me , I thought typing was typing , you have got to touch the keys to type, and you say you cannot ``touch type`` . You can stop laughing you know me and the modern age, but could you explain in simple words what on earth are you on about:-)))))))) Looking forward to your email.

Jude, thank you for email will get round to replying shortly . How are you and Vic, got that cold sorted yet. Hope Phil is managing okay , thinking of you <3

Ann-C, I live on a mountain in a cave, dose it sound as if I'm mega rich.
Thank you for all that lovely information<3

Bethan, yes I will agree that with all that's goings on round you at the moment you are run down.
You need to find some ME-TIME so you can relax a little, take care<3

Sylvia, it's wet and windy here and we had snow the other day. We are having all sorts thrown at us just lately, Mother Nature is very confused at the moment. Hope the toe is still doing good.

Sallie, hope you and your family are all okay.

Sue, how's you coming on with the recovery , hope you are not in so much pain as your were in.
I bet you have been having loads of cwtche,s with new baby granddaughter, or is it Great<3

Tec, hope you and your good lady are managing the best you can, and also being good:-)))))

Von, your hiding again, where are you, hope all is okay with you and family.:-)))

Diane, hope you are managing okay and not have more hassle<3

Yvonne, are you busy busy again :-)))))

Ann-Glos, how about sending us some sun then:-))))

Well Friday night is mates night so going to have rest first.:-))))

You all take care and have a lovely weekend.

Hi Shaun ~~

Hope you and wifey are OK :-)

PC is fine ,the keyboard goes a bit iffy on times ,the letters run if I'm not watching the screen which I am usually not ,cos I cant touch type.

Hubby's decision to put son's old kit into mine...apparently better, but this is running much faster since I deleted files others had put on here and compressed mine.
We've looked locally for keyboards but I've seen nothing I fancy.
Picky old so and so .....mine is cordless silver with black almost flat keys keys ,must get hubby to give it good clean down or look on the net for something similar.

Catch you in a bit folks..and will reply your e.mail Shaun.....foody time !

Hello from a cooler Tenerife, sun over mt Teidi but not actually here at the moment, still warm enough to eat breakfast on the patio though. I have read back but too far behind to comment. I congratulated Sue on Facebook but again, Grandma Sue, congratulations nice name although I am unsure of the pronunciation of the second name.

Pleased the funeral went as well as it could Jude, I expect Phil is pleased that it is over, always an ordeal. I hope he is coping ok. I will sort out a donation when we return home.

Congratulations Grandma Sue :-D
Hope mum and baby are doing fine. That's a good weight ,perhaps that was why she was a bit late in arriving..but there's no telling son was 9.4 and midwife weighed him twice cos he looked so skinny..he was long tho !

Yes Shaun son's job is in IT ( same sort of thing )...I think I said it somewhere lesser salary ( under negotiation ) ,but lesser travelling which was costing a fortune tho his car is diesel it will be lesser time travelling too and hopefully more chance for promotion. His boss.. next step to him is in Holland on £100K !

Pleased it was a quite send off for our Jean and thank you for attending Jude,and relating the events tho nothing else would have been expected after all you've done for them both.

~~~to all friends mentioned or not

This bleeding keyboard's just done 'runner' again letter A this time , usually m n or e.....hubby's going to put sons kit on her..tho this is fine and search the net for new board for me ! Can't find one I like locally.

Hello everyone...

Got back a few hours ago from saying goodbye to Auntie Jean....a very quiet service with about 20 people, mostly neighbours and friends!!

Jeans g/niece read the eulogy and talked about GR and how Jean was involved, also how she loved her pc and kindle:)) she read out the message Susan NZ added to this thread:))
We met one of Jeans neighbours for the first time, lovely lady and of course neighbours who we had had contact with before.
We will see Phil in the morning with a few bits of shopping.

Take care all
