Gins.....!! You weren't using your mobile whilst driving surely? That is SO bad


No, you eejit........sighs and recalls a driver in the states a couple of years ago


.........on the interstate, travelling at about 80mph, she overtakes me....plucking her eyebrows :-0

Well, that is bad enough Ginns but I think I can beat it ;-) :-0 :-(

Many years ago I worked as a Tour Manager taking groups of tourists over to Spain and taking them around, translating for them and generally looking after them for the week.

At first, I used to travel over with them in a British coach, with driver on the Ferry and on the Ferry we all used to have use of the 'Driver's lounge' at the top of the ship for eating, drinking, relaxing and watching TV etc. - along with all the lorry and commercial drivers.

Many of the lorry drivers had 'bedrooms' on their lorries, some of which were quite well appointed - I had many offers to go and view them and would have liked to have a look but thought it might be 'asking for trouble' to do so ;-)

I was once in conversation with a group of them - one had a video screen in his cab and was accustomed to watching 'blue movies' on it - and another had obviously been driving alongside him at some stage so he could also watch the video - It was obvious that this was a common occurrance between the group whenever they saw each other along the road.

OOOOOeerrrrr - Scarey or what ??? :-0

Dea x

Oooer..........bit dangerous me thinks :-0

Also in the states, pulls up at the lights and the bloke in the next car was eating his dinner, plate on lap..........looked like a big Sunday lunch!

Scary stories indeed........You do hear some of these horror stories sometimes.


Sorry I am late - have been side tracked by another thread on summat I am interested in - don't suppose you can guess what :-D :-D :-D ;-)


The fair went very well. Good crowds and my stall doubled it's takings from last year. To cap it all, there is a prize for the most attractive stall and yes, we won it! My granddaughter was over the moon - she has been waiting for three years to win the 'trophy'! It seems that over £3,500 has been made which is excellent given the financial problems surrounding most people.


Naturally, I am now ker-knackered so it's a take-away - take daughter home and feet up night ahead of me...... :-D

Well done Cynths !!! - It is no wonder you are 'kerknackered' !!!

Glad your grand-daughter is pleased - take her home (and your daughter) and have a good rest !!!

Dea Xxx

Son and family are struggling !

He is still unemployed and Christmas is coming up !!

I fear they are 'getting into debt' - That really frightens me as I have never been in debt (thankfully) !!

Will have to have a serious talk to them very soon to see what I can do !!

I DO so wish there were some jobs out there !

Nite nite all you loverly people !! <3 <3 <3

Hi all

Could not resist posting ................. the bullying and harassment was incredible .............. from certain people who only went on the thread to do precisely that.

It was a beautiful day today ......... sunny and quite clear over to the mountains ........... which have snow on the tops.

It was not very warm though :-)


I went downtown to buy my Christmas present from OH (leather gloves), my present to him, and have a general look.

I had 4 cards from the store I usually use, each for $25 savings if I spent more than $100

.............. I managed to pick up enough things to spend more than $100 in 3 separate departments to use those cards ...............

and still spend over $100 .....................

............ so I got a new savings card from each of them to use during the next 4 weeks

so I still have 4 $25 savings cards!



and at that, I got most items on sale!



:-D

and that the "market" made so much money. That is indeed good for these times.

In just knew that Gins would be too sensible to use her mobile while driving ........... even though it sounded as though that was what she had done :-D

Dea


sorry to hear about your son ..........

................ it must be very worrying for you

I do hope that they have not had to go into debt. He must also be very worried about the situation.

Good morning everyone - although it's a very wet and windy morning here :-D

Thank you for breakfast Sylvs.......I have to admit to scrolling right down the page to see if creme brulee was on today's menu............yup......smacks lips. :-D


Dea, I am so sorry about your son situation and I can well understand how worried you must be. I hope you get the opportunity to have a chat and, perhaps, give him some advice.


I don't like seeing the TV adverts for the firms who offer to solve everyone's debt problems. People can be very gullible when desperate and I think they can very easily be led up the proverbial swanee :-(


Much better to talk to the 'official' debt agencies or the CAB and get things on a proper footing that way. Sending you much love <3 <3 <3



Got a busy morning this morning as we are having a Confirmation service and it will be manic.......better get a grip on meself now!!


See you later.....and Gins....don't you DARE eat all that creme brulee....or.....or....I will sulk......BIG time ;-)

Good morning all :-)

Lovely breakfast - thank you Sylvs <3 and I am really looking forward to that delicious lunch !! :-D

I really don't think that my son's situation is any different from that of the majority of families at the moment but you do SO want things to run smoothly for your children - don't you?

There are many young people a lot worse off :-(

The trouble is that there are so few jobs available and so many people out of work that once you become unemployed there is little chance of getting back into the workplace.

This time of year makes things especially difficult for them as you cannot let the children miss out on Christmas can you?

Let's hope things start to change soon and more people can get back into work.

Dea x

Gins....don't you DARE eat all that creme brulee


.....charming :-P I might not be able to eat it, has it got ground bones in it :-0



Morning all~~~~~~~~

Ground bones in creme brulee??? One assumes you are talking about gelatin etc? Not a clue and couldn't care.....it's just deee - li-- cious.



I think you realise why I ain't on here a lot at the mo......am slightly side-tracked elsewhere. Nice to come back somewhere normal though.......did I say normal?? :-S :-S


Just going for a browse on the other side - my light may be on but there is no-one home...... ;-) ;-) ;-)
