Yes Ginny my old work place

Where they did there last pitch was where i used to work

Nothing like a man with a tractor in these dire times! Bet Fans chatted him up a bit and he gave her a lift into town!




I think it's the way the media portray the Christmas spirit Gins. It's as though everyone is having a fantastic time partying away when, in fact, It's probably far more are sitting at home on their own or in hospital etc.etc. It's something I've come across time and time again.



Have been sitting on the carpark at Tesco for almost an hour due to the massive queues on and off. Hopefully won't have to go there again this week.


Really must get that Christmas tree out of the loft soon!! My excitement knows no bounds.

Cancelled the trip to Somerset until the weather breaks,not risking it just to deliver prezzies..So we will have a Sunday down there after Christmas and ask people to gather at the parents farm for the afternoon..

Last prezzie wrapped...Now to hope we can get to the pub next Saturday for our christmas dinner...Methinks me will get a nice leg of Lamb in,just in case we cant..
Got a tub (large )of Celebrations and someone gave us a big tin of Victoria choccy biccies..So we have everything we need for Christmas day...But of course we already have the most important thing of all...EACH OTHER...

And my thoughts go out to those who are alone or grieving this year,and also to those people missing from my Christmas prezzie list,but I will wave to you on Christmas Eve as always..

I see Gins has been sending scam messages on FB I did'nt get one but I got one from Fans HID's yesterday DONT OPEN well thats what the ex said

ja...x

There seems to be a lot going about on there at the mo

Its the one about check this girl out she is busted or something like that.
Was this place on TV in London Julie where you worked?

If it was I used to work in the city

Looking at the news today - I think a lot of people will be having delayed family celebrations this year

OH is 51 on the 22nd Dec so trying to make a happy day for him


Have presents here from family for him - but my gifts from Amazon are here in Spain ---- And delivery was attempted this morning - but we were out - so mot sure if I can get them to return tomorrow

So he may have to wait

Renes

Hope you get them in time Renes..I doubt mine will arrive in time for his birthday or indeed christmas though.....You know, that MAN thing I said I would send...;)

I got that message from someone on FB Jax and wouldnt know how to open it anyway,so I just deleted the post.
I delete all that sort of stuff straight away...Orf to have a word with HID about them for you..

Haven't see that one Jax lol

On the apprentice it was filmed at the Hurlingham Club in Fulham

I got one from FBG HID and Ginny - but never opened either as you have to agree to "them" using all your data even when not on line

What did she do anyway

Dont know renes, dont know what happens if you do open them perhaps puter self distructs??

Oh dont know that area jules although most of the London I knew has changed over the last 18 years no doubt, last time I worked there it got blown up

ja...x

Been in London nearly all my life Jax......Yes you are right i has changed loads

Got my Mums side of the family in Fulham since the 1841 census

Oh Fans thanks for that - I had forgotten - I will not tell him as I am sure he also has forgotten too

I managed to get the last four Venison today - so will think of you when we have it later this week - am saving two for new year

Renes

I worked in the City for almost 20 years - from 1965 to 1985 - in Mansion House and Upper Thames St -

had a two year gap when I worked in Boston USA - seconded by Wang Computers to help develop modems ( actually the transmission of Data via modems ) and Computerisef Accounting Packages -

I loved USA - still have my Lifetime Visas and Permits - will take me with me when I go - in case I need them at the Pearly Gates ! !!!

Oh no not Bambi's dad Renes

Mine are all East London started off Islington or Newington but all moved to Walthamstow which became a pain as that area is'nt covered for baptisms ect

ja...x

Jax

No definitely not his Dad


It's him !!

You orrid person Renes lol

I worked City road, Threadneedle Street, Fenchurch Street and Leadenhall Street from 1974 to 1992 then went into the pub trade

ja...x

I worked on the mainly Harrow rd,Ladbroke Grove,Kentish and Camden Town and also anywhere else I was needed all over London for a few yrs.
East Acton Estate and Kensal Rise I enjoyed working at the most though.

Jax

I expect we were likely in the same wine bars - did you walk down to Petticoat Lane lunchtime Fridays - most of the City girls did - to buy new shoes and dresses for the weekend

And chopped liver rolls and real Roll Mops

Of course I did Renes most of my wardrobe came from there, Mansion House that was near Cheapside was'nt it. I remember being into salt beef rolls at one time, was only saying to HID the otherday about the sandwhich bars in the city...not the same anymore all big chains
