Wishing you all a peaceful night, sweet dreams, may your God keep you safe in his care.
Good night.

Hi Pauline like the Teddy for Olly.

I just had a two page email from my Granddaughter Georgia who is getting married on saturday, she said her husband to be went to collect the wedding rings and his was two sizes too small the man who made it was on holiday but he phoned and they are sending the right ring to him..

then one of the bridesmaids dress had to go back to the dressmaker as the stitching came away next she went to the florist to make sure she had the right flowers ? and arrangements to fine they had move five shops along and had not told her..
Then her husband to went to get his suit and they had laid out a blue suit with blue accessories it would have been a black morning suit with blue accessories but they sorted that, she said everything is going wrong Nan even the weather is suppose to be against us.
Poor Girl she is so worried.

Hi all, I've been busy and didn't have time to pop in. Haven't read all the posts because I haven't been on for 3 days.

Shelly, I'm sorry I missed Olly's birthday, hope he had a lovely time, bet he got loads of presents.

George, Agatha and Rita, hope you all have lovely holidays and come back refreshed.

Nice to see you posting Jean, you'll soon be finished the treatment and you'll be able to get your strength back.

Hi Sue, are you back with us or is it just a flying visit? Hope you're keeping well.



FOR OLLY

Hello everyone, hope you are all keeping warm, I think winter has arrived early, I put my heating on when I got back from Christies.
Only 2 more treatments, hooray!! [ just realised that looks very ungrateful]
I seem to have a lot of catching up to do with this thread, will try to get up to date after tea,
Hope anyone who is on holiday is having better weather than we are at the moment, cold, damp and very windy here today.
Was planning to go on the roads this weekend but the forecast isn't very promising, just hope I can get a few more journeys in before the really bad weather sets in.
Off to make tea now then I can settle down and read all the posts and catch up with all your news.
Jean xx

Edit, thank you all for your kind thoughts and wishes, :-) :-) :-)

Yvonne I had hoped someone would point that out. I did it on purpose.
I am in that mood today.
my friend was here she got my shopping from Morrisons and while she was here someone tapped on the window (they do that when they want me for something,) ? she asked if I had finished my laundry ? as she wanted to do some. I said yes I had finished a hour ago.but John is booked in to do his laundry about 2 oclock .?
she said thats OK then only Les has booked for a tumble at 1. o'clock that started me off,I said your lucky . she realised what she had said and so three of us were really laughing by then.(Les has a washing machine but uses the dryer in the laundry room.)

I managed to get out and post my 6 letters this morning (another job done).and arranged a pick-up for my visit to St Lukes hospital on 20th of the month.

I am using a key board where a lot of numbers have vanished I no longer have E R.T.A.S.and F is starting to vanish as well.
It is the latest model of Microsoft.
It is harder now to make sure I am using the right Letter.
ROL the R is missing but I got that one right.

Hello Sue how you doing >>>>

Jean hope you chemo goes OK today.

Rita

:-D hello peeps!!

im still here! xxxx

Afternoon all

Have a good week Agatha

Very quiet at home today son has gone back to college

Rita when I read your post I thought you meant YOU only washed once a week, I had to read it again lol :-D

I'm off to the shops later, need some thing to pack a horse rug in to go in the post so I can put it on ebay, something like the bags you get from catalogues when you buy clothes

<3

morning every one

im up nice and early as son is back to school today

Morning all you lovely friendlies

Nice and bright and warm so far so I hope you are all gettingthe same weather.as I am.
Wash day today,not me my clothes .I only wash once a week,. lol

In my sisters district and some others places they start the new comers off first so they go to school and can get around and see what is what ? and get to know each other then the next day the other students start. which is a good idea, as those going to the new school for the first time
dont get caught out with where to go in the school.
My neice Susannah is so looking forward to going to her new school today. she has been on about it for days her brother who is two years older than her goes to the same school.

I was watching some TV yesterday and thought what sort of a world do we live in ? when we keep getting people telling us what we should eat or drink or do ? .we know bread and take away food have more salt in but if people want to have food with more salt in why should they keep being told it is bad for you ?and things like smoking, drinking if people want to do this it is their life and if they drink and smoke they know what can happen. we are after all adults.

thats my soap box for the day .
have a good day.
Rita

Morning everyone, I'm off down the caravan for a week, thought I better make the most of it before season ends.
Have a great week
AGATHA <3

Morning all
Brighter here this morning but looks a bit breezy.
I have put a load of books out for the British Heart Foundation, they happened to have put a sack through and they actually take the things to the shops. So that saves me trying to get hubby to drive me to a charity shop with them. Somebody else might enjoy them and I need to sort out loads more.

Off for coffee this afternoon at an old friends, seen her around the village but not got together for about 15 years.

Can't believe the children are back ti school this week. Where did that 6 weeks go?

Have a good day everyone

Linda :-) <3

linda im not going any were


thank you all for little legs birthday wishis xx

I have had a busy afternoon 6 letters to post tomorrow. I also did little bits about the flat. The television is not too good on a saturday and sunday these days. and I am fed up with these tV programmes giving high pitched whistling and the police cars making a hell of a noise in the dramas on TV it goes right thorugh my head. I know I am getting old but it must affect others as well who have ear problems.?

George I hope you have a great holiday and get good weather that is the main thing when you go on holiday. I think Marilyn must be in NY now she was going to fly off to San Franciso then.

Goerge what a lovely thing to say about us on this thread
Linda my daughter works for the Government and she goes to her office in Hook on a Monday there use to be a golf course there years ago is it still there ?

I am looking forward to the wedding as the family will be together I have not seen my Grandson who is in the RE regiment he has been all over the place twice in Afganistan, Iran then South Africa we phone and write but it must be five or six years since we have met up.he will be in his dress uniform for the wedding. I said I wonder if my other Grandsons will appear in their policemens uniforms lol they said no way they are in Top hats and tails.
Georgias father will be in top hat and tails but he has still not recovered from, his cancer so I hope he has a good day on the day and not feeling ill.

well I am away now I have been watching a drama on Chanel 4
Nelsons Navy back from the dead.about the 19th century life at sea. but it got a bit cruel and i had to leave it for a bit. but it is life as it was.

Love Rita

Evening Linda,

A better place than Stratfield saye is Vyne house, well sign posted, think its off the Basingstoke to Tadley road, its an Elizabethan house open to the public, well worth a visit.

If you had carried on the A33 towards Winchester or on the A303 towards Andover you would have been near Micheldever, thats where I live, so missed me by about 8 miles...lol.
Still hope you both had a good day

George :-)

The thread is going to be a bit bare with everyone going away.

George hubby and I went for a drive earlier we ended up at Stratfield Saye, trying to find the house. Well it was open for one week in April and from 23rd July til 8th August and that is it for 2011 !!! So we definately missed that.
Came back to Basingstoke then home through Hook so quite close to where you live George.

We had heavy rain this morning so the sheets I'd hung out early were still damp so now tumbling dry, shame.

Managed to paint inside the fitted wardrobe this morning so another job jobbed as they say. The furniture looks quite good and at least it is now the same colour and lighter too. I'm pleased with it. Will try to take a photo Pauline.

Happy Birthday Little legs hope you had a great day Shelly.

Sleep well everyone and George and Rita enjoy your time away

Linda :-) <3

Evening all,
What a funny old day today, first heavy rain, then nice warm sunshine.
Hope everyone has had a lovely day today and your all nice and relaxed.. :-)

I have been packing today for my holiday next week, done it early as Foggy said he will run me to London tomorrow to save my son having to come here to get me, what a diamond.
Told old Foggs he should come onto this thread seeing as your all a brilliant bunch of people.
Hope Rita and whoever else is also off on their holls will have a blinder of a time.

George :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Evening everyone,
I've had a lazy afternoon. I watched Midsomer Murders. I'll be watching Darling buds of May on ITV3 I loved that series when it was first shown in 1991. That's a long time ago :-S

Agatha I agree with you.

One in my opinion Dermot.
Hello Everyone, I've been busy with the tree, I have found loads of ancesters who come from Benwick, getting married in Stockton-on Tees, and both husband and wife come from Benwick, and when you look up their children, you find the odd one being born in Stockton, so for some reason in the 1800's they went from Benwick Cambs to Stockton, this seems to have happened once a year.
Happy Birthday Little Legs :-D
Happy Anniversay Rita's Daughter and Son-in- Law :-)
Theres a shop near me Linda that sells painted old bedroom furniture for a fortune.
Hope everythings going OK Jean
I liked the Lady bird fairytale books when I was young, I liked Cinderella best, when I was about five or six mum took me to see the Queen one christmas at sandringham, and I took my Cinderella book with me, when the Queen walked past mum bent down and said thats the Queen of England and I said, No she's not, she looks like my Nan Edie, everyone laughed, except the queen who heard me, I then showed the crowd Cinderella in my book.
Hope everyones had a good wekend
