Cripes

Do any of your mates, suck the life out of you?

I've had one on the phone, only contacts me, when she needs help...you're the best 'Gin'

Sorry to say, I listened loooooong and hard and asked her,' what do you think about my sis and brother', hearing about both of their deaths within the last couple of months?

She shut the.....up

Aw well.............I stopped the 'sucker', I cant afford to be 'sucked out' at the moment

My family need me.... <3

Jonesey,

You need a couple of air conditioners!!

I have two portable units - one upstairs and one downstairs. They keep the whole house cool!

They were not cheap and I don't use them very often BUT, when I do, they are worth their weight in gold !! ;-) :-D :-D

Gins

She is probably used to you being you - there when she needs you BUT if she is a true friend she should know it is her turn to be there for you!

((hugs))) cos you still need them

Gins.........I iron at the back of the house dear, NOT in the front garden!!! I am also in a little garden house which offers complete privacy......... :-D


As for your friend......as Linds says, she is probably so used to you being there that her own problems drove yours completely out of her head. Sounds as though she is a bit wrapped up in herself and she may now be feeling a bit guilty.

I know how you feel though.......and it ain't easy!


My OH has just sat and watched It's a Bug's Life.................sheeeeeeeesh.


Off to bed for me I think.........night all ~~~~

Hi all
xxx


Dea ................ glad to hear that the surgeon was able to help.

Hope the drugs begin to work soon, and you are more comfortable


Gins .................... not a true friend if she had forgotten about your sis and brother so soon. TBH ................ you're probably better off without her!


Jonesey .................. we have electric fans for almost every room of the house, but especially in the bedrooms. It makes life bearable.



Cyn and Linda ...................... IF I have to iron in hot weather, I move the ironing board into the bedroom, and place it in front of the fan :-D


Renes ..... have a super trip back to Spain.



take care everyone


we're still not quite back to "normal" :-)

Good morning all :-)

Not sure if Sylvs is going breakfast today so just to keep you going I have brought two lovely home-made Quiches........... One is Asparagus and the other is bacon and cheese. Mushrooms and tomatoes are also on the go !

I will put some extra bacon on to go with them and there are plenty of croissants and danish pastries for those who prefer.

See you all later,

Dea Xxx

Morning all.........Thanks Dea.......I'll have some bacon and croissants please......then I will hoover up after myself!!! :-D


Another love day........got some bits and bobs to do today - got our 'visitor' and his wife coming for an easy meal this evening, so I have better shape up - as they say round here.


Gins........good on yer. Can't you get the facility where you can see who is calling so that you can ignore those you can't face speaking to? I have to admit that I have done that on the odd occasion with my friend when she is in a 'phoning' mood and I am harrassed with something else. I get back to her later when I have more time.


Off I go........

Hello all,

Just sitting out in the garden having a cuppa.

Then I have to iron some clothes (only cos I want to wear them) ;-)

Going to see a FA this afternoon.

Another lovely day here. :-D

Hope everyone enjoys the sunshine :-)

Gawd - My hubby is going to poison himself when I have gone !!! - He is useless !!

When I used to work away from home I always used to have to empty the fridge of anything which might not last the week until I came back.

He believes that if you buy a cooked chicken and put it in the fridge that it will not go off - it will last however long until you have eaten it all !!

He has just asked me if I want any sausages - thankfully I said no! But then he said to me "these have the expiry date as 7th July - do you want me to freeze the rest or bin them ????? :-0

"BIN THEM" I said !! - It is my fault for having something in there which is out of date but I am not quite 'on top of things'. just at the moment ;-)

I told him not to eat them as I had more but he insists that they will be alright !!

The strange thing is though, he never seems to suffer any ill-effects from his actions ! :-0 :-D :-D

Ladies we went to see a Financial Advisor but I did have a giggle at your suggestions :-D

Dea My dear old Dad would agree with your OH he kept stuff in the fridge till it was all used up or walked to the bin on its own :-S

He never suffered any ill effects either :-)

I read a while ago that the "best before/use by " dates are going to be removed because of the amount of food that is wasted.

Going back to the way we used to do it by common sense :-)

One of my S-I-L's used to give Dad food that was out of date but she had frozen it when fresh :-S She wouldn't be told that it was fine to use on the day she defrosted it :-S

She gave him it to give to his dogs - don't think they saw much of it :-D

I don't know if any of you are familiar with a place in Spain called Sitges ??

It is not far from Barcelona, on the Coast, and it is known as the 'Gay Capital' of Europe !! ;-)

It is a pretty place but absolutely overflowing with Gay bars etc... all the shop windows are full of black leather basque type clothes with suspenders etc but in 'Man' sizes !! - Certainly something to see!!

All around you are 'couples' strolling hand in hand and dressed in the most wierd clothes ..........they are perfectly friendly though and I am very open minded :-D

Anyway - I have set the scene!.............

At the present time, my son and D-I-L are on holiday in Spain with grandchildren.

It is a sort of a family re-union for D.I.L.'s father who, as some of you might remember was 'on death's door' just over 12 months ago.

He has many brothers who are spread all over the world and they have all come together, with their families to a place in Spain.

D.I.L. is from the 'less rich' side of the family but at least 2 of his brothers are multi-millionaries and they have rented this huge place up in the mountains to accommodate all of this very large family !

The nearest place they can get to is Sitges !

At least one of the brothers took his Porsche with him when he travelled and on Monday thought he would take a drive down into Sitges - taking with him a young teenage boy from the house (Mansion) they have rented, to guide him around.

Can you imagine the reception they were given and the looks they got from those wandering about - an English man, 'knocking 60', driving an open top Porsche and accompanied by a very young local teenage boy, ?????

I am surprised he managed to make it back up the mountain !!!

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Financial Adviser!!! Never thought of that..... :-D



Have never been to Spain Dea, but the scenario was interesting!!



Visitors left about an hour ago.....as we were seeing them off, I stepped out of the front door, went over on my ankle, hit my head on the porch ledge and landed in a heap. What a twerp I felt........SO embarrassing :-(

Have got an 'egg' on the back of my head which is a bit tender but am okay.....sheesh..........

Off for a browse.

Like you Dea, I have an open mind about homosexuals and homosexuality. Until the Liberal party tries to make it compulsory that is. ;-)

Linda Report 9 Jul 2013 21:58

Dea,

Have visited Barcelona and have heard of Sitges. I bet he never thought how it might look to the locals gave me a laugh ;-)

Cynthia I think the embarrassment is worse than any injury when we "fall over" like that. Hope you are ok <3

I couldn't get on here had to come on via an email notification :-S

we are just home went to the local eatery for a meal it was 26c on the way home :-)

Got the GD's tomorrow so have an excuse to get the paddling pool out ;-)
