We were called eldest and youngest to other people and I was called all sorts of other names like, sparrow legs, Annie get your gun, corkscrew Annie. My sister got called woodentop or dolly daydream. lol

That's a good idea to rent David if it becomes necessary. A bit of hassle for a while, but better than losing your buyer. I lived in a bungalow with rooms upstairs before I moved here. They ended up just being spare rooms so it was a waste really. When all your rooms are on one level you can change the use of most rooms if you want to......more versatile.

You poor thing Mandy. I hope the antibiotics get to work quickly. You wouldn't be getting an ambulance at that time unless you were really poorly. I have had some bad chest infections in the past and you feel absolute rubbish. I do hope you soon feel a bit better. Plenty of rest till you are on the mend.

Hi every one , Not been on for a couple of days . been reading everyones posts. It seems that every one is either poorly , hope you are all feeling better very , very soon, Or you have all been busy , Funerals, cleaning chickens, going out for late night ride in Ambulances.( do hope all is well Mandy ).
Frank , please dont do anything in the hast of the moment , I know i don't know you , so please forgive me, but moving out is a massive step .
thinking of you all tonight , take care .

Frank, don't even think of doing anything while you are both upset and until you have calmed down and slept on things. You may have both said more than you meant to and are a bit shell shocked. You have both been under strain with Ros's health so it isn't surprising you've had a fall out.

I shall be worrying with Mel tonight too......

Night night everyone xx.

Morning All
Frank if you are looking in,I hope things have calmed down and that you have had second thoughts about moving out.Not something to do in the heat of the moment.Do you think you might let someone know that you are alright.You know what worriers we are.
Mandy I hope you have had a good nights sleep.No doubt you will be taking things very easy today.

It's good to hear that Sheila is improving now.Poor April and her Chicken pox.It is a miserable thing to have.I hope Jessica takes the right advice as to whether she should go or not.I think it all depends how far she is in the pregnancy.

It is another misty dark day.I bet Mags will have just the same over in Raunds.Chris is out with Chester.I have just come down and am in my dressing gown and Hannah has just appeared yawning her head off after getting in about 4am !! I remember those days lol

Off for a shower now.I will worrying about Frank and Ros now until we hear something.I do hope things have settled.Isn't Lewis arriving today for a week??
Back later 10.24

Hi

Only been up a little while. I could'nt get to sleep last night after all the upset.

Had a message from Anne again yesterday late. here it is.

Hi Mel,

Please pass on my best wishes for Sheila's swift recovery.
I thought it was Janes birthday in Feb but maybe it was yours. Please accept my apologies Ican only put my vagueness down to alcohol!!! Gosh I sound as though I drink a lot which I don.t but I am using thee computer after dinner and my share of a bottle of wine! Today the weather has been hotter than ever and all is well

Jane Report 20 Feb 2011 12:51

Oh Frank! I think I would have locked you in too lol.I'm glad all is calm now,especially with Lewis coming to stay.He will keep you busy for the next week and out of trouble !!!
We can all relax now.I had visions of you with your little bundle of clothes on a stick over your shoulder walking through the lanes.

It is good that you feel you can unload here we are all here to support one another.

Golly it is quiet today.What are we all up to?Here it is so peaceful.The fire is crackling away ,I have been reading my book in between filling the washing machine,Hannah has stirred and just taken Chester out and I think Chris is doing some paperwork.
I suppose I should be thinking of peeling potatoes and doing the veg for later.I think Frank,you have the right idea preparing things the night before.I only do that on Xmas Eve lol

I forgot to feed the birds today!! Two Robins are frequenting Merlin's stable,they're SO tame, one in particular comes right up to me when I'm sweeping out, hoping for tit bits!!! Miserable old day here weatherwise, damp and grey, Merlin completely cheesed off with his 'mud patch'!! he neighs at me everytime I go out of the back door, so I have to creep round the front to stop him seeing me!!! Breadmaker pounding away, and the Pork is sizzling, and starting to smell nice! Bit of a nothing sort of day, at least I got to Tesco'sand back yesterday without incident!!! Ian as ever, better night last night so less tired today. Watched Tony Hancock on Telly last night,such a sad ending to what was once a brilliant career.

Jane Report 20 Feb 2011 15:50

I still haven't put seed out for the birds today.But they have plenty of fat cakes to keep them going.
Some little horror has munched off all my parsley in the pot.It will be those blooming bunnies!!!!!!!

Hi All, Oh my, haven't been on for a few days and there's traumas. Don't know what happened to Mandy but hope you are feeling better now. No lectures from me Frank but hope you have sorted things out with Ros. Life's too short.
It's a dull old day here too, have been painting cards most of the day, I have a nice little selection all ready for birthdays. I might start on a landscape now the cards are done. Son said he would like some paintings for his house, so no pressure .......

Was the Tony Hancock programme good Liz, I meant to see it then forgot, Those talented comediens were often troubled souls.
