Hi All, I am back again, thank you all for thinking of me on this site. Also the mail I have received and the lovely cards. Jan & Rick, Now dears mom is ok, I do have off days but not to worry. I loved your card and yes I have saved that one on my computer. Jim, Glad Mary is going to have her eyes done will keep my fingers crossed that all goes well for her. The snow has all gone here in Wigston. Hi John, See you are still at it are you saving up your pennies for the big trip over the pond ? I hear Faith & Margaret have now started to make lists of all the jobs that want doing. You will have to buy your self a new tool box cant go for a visit with your old one. All for now take care. Luv June.

The wind is blowing, the snow is snowing, but I can weather the storm, What do I care how much it may storm I've got my love to keep me warm. They don't write songs like that any more Give me the popular classical music any day. June I am sorry to hear you have not been feeling too well. We've told you before not to go out on your broomstick without your thermals( or as John might say Passion Killers) Talking of snow we had a couple of flakes the other day but not enough to make a snow ball. to day it has been cloudy but dry. If you don't like snow you should consider moving to Warrington. In the 12 years we have lived here we have only had snow to settle on 2 occassions and that was gone the next day. It is the GOOD LIFE that we lead!!! A Scottish Lament. Here I sit Broken hearted Paid a penny and only f******* Ok Mary I'm coming, sorry don't have time to sort out the letter keys to finish that off, so put your own words to it!!!

Hiya - It's that man again! 'I Did It My Waaaaaaaaaaaayyy' Sorry Jan, the snow thawed before I could get my hands on it ;-(((((((} Hi Jim, who is Simon Cowel? Is he that silver haired Brummie who digs the sod and tells us who lived there in the Iron-Age? What's happened to June - do you reckon that she has strayed out into the snow and being short can't jump high enough to see her way home (here)? 8-))))))))))} You wouldn't hit a man in spec's - Would you! Or won't the broom take off in this weather? rotglol Jan didn't get back either - do you reckon she's out looking for her 'Mom' ;-)))))))} Tarrarabit - John xxxxxxxx

Here we are again, happy as can be, all good pals and jolly good company. Mary says thanks for all your good wishes, she now has to wait for her calling up papers to go for the laser treatment. The Specialist assured her that it is a completely painless proceedure and that she goes in has it done and then straight home. We wait with bated breath. Faith Don't you know that the best 10 years of a lady's life are those between 39 and 40. When Mary got to 44 I said I was going to trade her in for 2 at 22, she said I would be dead in a week, I said what a way to go!!! John So you are too young to know my songs!! Well I'm too old to know your modern stuff, they only seem to sing about three words Repeated over and over ,and who ever said they could sing-- well. I am on Simon Cowells side. Mind you when I sing they have to retune the organ!! Time and tide has caught up with me again, must get her indoors a cuppa before I get a thick ear. ( She still loves me though) LLOL from Underdog Jim and Bossy Boots Mary C. OUCH another love tap round the Head.

Hi - It's that man again! Good luck to Mary, Jim. Thanks for your tips Jan, unfortunately I'm with AOHell and if I save to the desktop I am almost certain the mail will still only open in AOHell 8-((((((} Snowed here tonight at 5p.m. by ten past it had stopped, the only snow left is on the roofs and the stationary cars, the road is absolutely clear! Faith, no, my new broadband server should be with me sometime next week, I can't wait, instead of a download taking 11 hours it should only take about 11 minutes :-)))} I had a shock on saturday, I received a brown envelope with a bit of clear tape accross the flap (National Health Service Trademark), it was to tell me that my annual check-up has been postponed, from November 2005 to January 2006 and asking me to notify them if I can't keep the appointment - I don't know what I'm doing t'morrer yet lol. Sorry Jim I aint old enough to know those two songs you mentioned 8-)))))))} How about - Kiss me, kiss me, take me in your arms and drive me slooooooowly outa my mind, ooh, ooh kiss me, kiss me.......................................I can't remember the rest, but it was a one hit wonder by an Ozzie, about the time I was courting. It was re-made a few years back by that woman who had a hit with the theme to the film 'Titanic' ???????????????????????? Tarrarabit - John xxxxxxxxxx

Good afternoon, Brenda if I'd known it was your birthday I would have sent you a cream cake, a card and some chocs, but it is too late now. Happy belated greetings. Now Mark don't be shy give us the low down on your history and we are pleased you made contact. We are a crazy bunch but we mean no harm. June would you like to borrow my Mrs Beatons Recipe book?? John how about that good old song My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean? or maybe Ten Green Bottles; empty of course. Glad to see more of you back on line have a full Parade soon. Mary has to go to hospital to-morrow to have a pre exam before having laser treatment on her eye. One cataract op has gone a bit squiffy but it is nothing serious. So I will not be able to come on line to-morrow, providing this gets thro!! LLOL from Your mate Jim and His Mate Mary C.

Hiya Mommy June Yesss we had a lovely meal - we went to an indian restaurant and it was very yummy but I really did eat too much lol - still the walk home done us good. John do you mean you want to save the stuff to your computer? If you do transfer your emails into a folder on your desk top you can save them like that. Your favourite sites should be stored in your browser unless you are using aol? - we changed providers not so long ago and didnt have to change anything like that. - hope that helps :-) anyway everyone - no snow here today :-( its a very sunny day - even had the back door open a while this morning it was lovely - Rick cooked breakfast this morning while I done some cleaning etc he then said I need to shut back door because breakfast will get cold as Im serving it out - I think it was an excuse he was a bit chilly - maybe he should of scrubbed the floors instead lol. Hope Brenda had a lovely birthday :-)))))))))))) take care everyone Love Jan xx p.s Hiya mark :-)))))))))))
