it's flippin' RAIN



and going to be HEAVY rain

Dea didn't return did she??? :-S


Going to bed now Sylvs.........see you tomorrow! :-D

Hi everyone
I seem to be playing catch up all the time these days :-|

Got the gas problem fixed my son managed to cut into the sides of the unit so didnt need to cut the worktop (but it wouldnt have shown as he would have taked a bit out from underneath).

Had GD yesterday thats DIL finished work till baby born.

Had poiatry appointment today and then did food shop.

Got caught up with the rellies I had to phone and have started knitting for the bump and a hat for the GD.

Whew!! Not done a lot then

;-)

Gins hope your son is ok and you too <3

Dea Will keep fingers crossed that you get the parking permit. We can keep our specs on for passport pics. I am not looking forward to getting mine done next year :-( I am sure we look worse in thos pictures :-(

Hope everyone is ok

I'm exhausted just reading that Linds - you've certainly been busy! :-D


Good morning.........whoever is now about :-S


Am going to have to check to see if there are any delicious smells coming from the kitchen :-S


I will have my apron at the ready.......... :-D

Good morning all :-)

Wonder what has happened to Sylvs ?? I hope she is O.K. <3

Looks like you are going to need that apron Cynthis!

Can you make a starrt on the tea, coffee, juices, cereals and porridge please and I will throw on some eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms and tomatoes ?

I have brought some fresh danish pastries and croissants so I will set them out alongside the hot bread rolls, and platters of hams and cheeses!!!

That should feed the hungry ones when they arrive ;-)

We always make a great team <3

Thanks Cynths,

Dea Xxx

Oooher, its not like Sylv to go awol :-S


Glad the gas is sorted without having to damage your kitchen Linds.

The radio had a news story on the other day. An elderly couple had been hearing a 'beep' in their house for a couple of weeks. The 'beep' got more regular and they still couldnt find it......

They smashed the house up in frustration :-0 And when someone came around to help, he went straight to a box, which had an unopened smoke alarm in it...battery dead!

Heres some Friday :-S :-0

Those buddy beeps are enough to drive you mad Ginns !!

We have those smoke alarms all over the house and so when one starts to beep you are never quite sure which one it is.

At first they may beep only every other day so you can't just go to the one you think it is and wait for another beep to confirm it :-(

Then it gets more and more frequent and it can take several days to trace the culprit!

In the meantime, they wake you up in the night and generally have you chasing all around the house and getting VERY frustrated !!

My hubby says - 'they will save your life one day' !!! and I suppose he may be right!

Dea Xxx

Well, - just had 16 new windows put in (15 and a half really as one got broke so will have to have a new one next week :-D )

Hubby has decided to build a greenhouse so we have kept all the old glass panels and the greenhouse will hardly cost us anything at all ;-)

Have to go for an assessment on Tuesday for my Blue Badge Parking Permit (that was quick - I thought I would have to wait for ages), so fingers crossed please!

'IF' I get one, I am planning a trip to Dunholm Mill - I will be able to park on the double yellow lines right outside !!! - I am desperate for new sheets and towels.

Something to look forward to !!!

Dea Xxx

Happy new windows Dea!

On the radio yesterday, an MP was speaking in the HoC arguing for two elderly ladies who had gone for a reassessment for the blue badge; the assessment was done over the phone!

Anyway, long story short, they were both turned down and the only change to their circumstances is......they are older and frailer than when they were given the badge

Ridiculous

Yeeeh Ginns - that's why I need 'fingers crossed' !

At least I will be seeing a 'person' so I just hope she is not in a bad mood on that day !!! ;-)

Dea Xxx

Ooooer! Wonder where our Sylvs is? She didn't say she was off anywhere did she?



We only have 2 smoke alarms - one up and one down. Mind you, out house is so small we don't need any more to be honest. Am still waiting for OH to sort out the Carbon wotsit detector I bought a couple of weeks ago........sigh.



Got to see the reservoir today :-D Well, he was in the car and couldn't get out unless I stopped - so off we went! Yep...pretty full so I can't see a hosepipe ban any time soon.


Our sky thingey went funny this afternoon and OH was really not coping with it very well so I asked son to please call in on way home from work. And......he turned it off ....and on again. That seemed to cure the problem! :-S


I can't believe that people are assessed over the phone Gins......how ridiculous indeed! :-0

Cyns....Dea must live in a mansion, I only have two smoke alarms, one up, one down

I have a carbon alarm too, you never know when you might need one :-0


I hadnt read that Sylvs was away, its not like her, to miss our breakfast?

Hmmm....I see that doctors are going to be competency assessed every five years, about time

I'm assessed every four years and with six monthly reviews

Gin,

Should you happen to fail one of those assessments or reviews you may need to consider a new career. What do you think of this for a get rich quick idea?

Sell homing pigeons!!!

As soon as their new owner lets them out of their loft they should fly straight back to you and you can then sell them again. :-D

What do you reckon?

I cannot stand tyhe sound of pigeons Jonesey !!!

Any other bird makes a lovely sound but pigeons are just boring - du du der du der du, du du der du der du ................................. ad infinitum !!! :-( :-( :-(

My son attended a Public School for a while and used to stay from time to time with a 'classmate'.

This person lived on a stud farm and they also had many racing pigeons - some of which were worth millions each !!!!!

I can't imagine why anyone would find a pigeon worth SO much and I also can't imagine how they could cope with the noise that they all made !!! - I would have bought a gun and shot them !!! ;-)

Give me 'poverty' and 'peace and quiet' anytime !!!

Dea Xxx

Jonesey, if its easier and more rewarding, as in finance......bring it on

Do I have to steal them first!




Dea, public school and all those smoke alarms.......minted

NO Ginns - we sacrificed everything to send him to a good school as the one he was in originally was 'rubbish' !!

We were recommended to a local 'prep' school which was VERY expensive but we made a BIG effort and it was excellent so well worth it !!

This then led on to the 'Public School' which was also 'rubbish' and EXTREMELY expensive !! - c £20,000 per year !!!

He chose to change to the local college after a year or two where he was much happier !

I suppose, if it hadn't been for all that, we might have been 'almost' minted !!

We did work for it all though and saved every penny - came from a poor background and did the best that we could !
