Mornin all~~~~~~~

Kettle is on, toasted teacakes this morning - before the fitters get here!

JB is working from the office upstairs and I think I might pop into the college and do some marking in the staff room........get's me out of the way

Good morning all :-)

Buddy site !!!! - Just typed a whole long message and then lost it !!! :-0 :-| :-|

I will start again !

Ginns - thank you for the toasted teacakes, they are delicious but it is a good job I am not dressed yet 'coz all that lovely butter keeps running down my front ;-) :-D :-D

Sylvs - I see you got the 48,800 - well done and I hope all goes well tomorrow <3

Cynths, the teachers at my grandchildrens' school have decided 'not to strike on this occasion' so they are unaffected today :-D

It is a lovely school. Grandaughter went on a school trip to the Theatre last week to see a performance of 'Taming of the Shrew' and she loved it !

It was in the evening and they were not expected to be back until around 10.30pm (She is only 9...) :-0. Mummy said she could go as it was on a Friday and there was no school the next morning and Teacher had told them that they could go to sleep on the coach on the way home ;-) :-D :-D

I expect the Teachers had a very quiet journey back :-D :-D

It is probably a good idea to go into work Ginns, at least you will be warmer there.

Hope everyone has a lovely day,

See you all later,

Dea Xxx

P.S. - I hope you manage to get that cake done today Linds with all those extra little hands to help you ;-) :-D <3

Good morning all... :-D


Oh Dea! You are SUCH a messy eater....just look at the state of you.......dear oh dear. :-S ;-) :-D


Thank you Gins - I will be extra careful because I don't want to get butter on my black top. I am taking son for his pre-op thingey and would like to look fairly decent!!! :-D


Not sure what I have planned for later but I will presumably be doing something.......hopefully putting some more info on my tree. I have a tree on here, one on Ancestry and one on FTM - I just don't keep them all up to date. Maybe it's time to do that!!


Have a good day - ~~~

Nudge up Fred !!! - Your fans will be home soon! ;-) :-D :-D

Did the pre op thingy go OK?


Today was a MASSIVE job on the bay window and the bi folds at the back. It took eight men (some luscious!) to carry it through to the back

Barry, said he had never fitted so many units into a bay before...'It's huge'

At one point (for about four hours) we had no front or back, all propped and gaping to the elements

They have done a fantastic job......almost all (except for the supporting bits) of the back of the sitting room opens up, to the garden

Money well spent.............


If you live up norf...........Just Trade Windows Ltd

Just got caught up on here.

OH has kindly shared his cold with me :-(

Cynthia hope all went well for your son today.

Gins glad you are pleased with your windows hope they finish tomorrow.

Dea we didn't bake today as I felt so bad promised we would tomorrow but wont have to do a birthday cake as his partner got him one of those photo cakes.

Have to do the food shop tomorrow might just send OH :-D

Sylvia hope all went ok at the Notary's today.

Evening all..................

Pre op seems to have gone okay and the op is on Friday. They were running late which delayed us getting back, so it was a good job I had the foresight to take some bacon and some barm cakes with me to son's house. OH had stayed with grandson whilst I was son sitting!!! I soon had them all fed and watered.. :-D

Lots of family tree work this afternoon and had my dripping tap sorted this evening. What you might call a mixed day!!!


Glad you have got your windows sorted Gins....sounds good!

Still no Jonesey...... :-(


Bed soon....night night......

Mornin all~~~~~~~~~~

Kettle is on, muffins to ready to go

Good morning all :-)

Good morning.... :-D


Thank you for the muffins Gins.....much enjoyed.



It's lovely not to hear that constant drip, drip, drip...... :-D


A bit of housework, a bit of shopping, a haircut and not sure what else........it's all go.... ;-)


Be good.......~~~~

Ey Up~~~~~~~~~~~

Poor Fred had disappeared from site :-(

Hope you all had a good day. Cyns, your son for tomorrow <3

Hi all


another wet day here :-(

................ and of course, that also means wet at the site of the mudslide in Washington State. They're really having major problems working there .................. it's like being in quicksand



I'm looking forward to going to my physio on Tuesday ............ he rarely hurts me now, and I usually feel much better after he's worked on my back. I'm hoping he'll work the same magic on my knee .............. which is slowly getting better :-)



The Notary phoned this afternoon .................. the down payment for the property is now in our bank account. Then he phoned back later to say he had forgotten to deduct his expenses, so we have to pay him next week :-)



We had a recall on our car the other week ....................... the dealer fixed that, but said they had spotted a leak in the oil system and the gasket needed replacing ................. a 4 day job, so they said.

OH took the car to our own mechanic on Tuesday for them to do the work ........... they said 2 days, possibly even by lunchtime on Wednesday.

They still have it! They hope it will be ready by lunchtime tomorrow (Friday)

...................... it seems one of the mechanics was carrying the gasket over to the car to put it in when he dropped it, then proceeded to step on it o:O

so they had to order in another one :-)




take care everyone

Sylvs.......sorry to hear you've blown a gasket ;-)

Thank you for lovely breakfast, especially the little tarts :-)

Good morning all :-)

Hello Sylvia - How lovely to see you and I am SO excited to see that you managed to prepare us one of your lovely breakfasts this morning. It has been SO long since we have enjoyed such a treat <3

I am going to start with a cheese and onion tart with some bacon, sausage patties, grilled mushrooms and baked tomatoes.

Then I will have a couple of those Caribbean Banana Fritters drizzled with syrup.

I don't think I will have room for any more but if you keep the warmers on I will be back later for a little portion of Huevos Rancheros and a Portobello Mushroom Cap with cheese and spinach for my brunch ;-) :-D :-D

I hope they fix your car soon - I bet that mechanic was in trouble :-0 :-(

Hope all goes well with your son today Cynthia.

See you all later,

Dea Xxx

Ooo yeah

Best wishes, hope the op goes well :-)

Morning all.... :-D


My word, spoilt for choice but those pancakes do look particularly tempting...thanks Sylvs and yes, it's good to have you back... :-D


Dea!! What a little gannet you are to be sure..........you're going to make yourself sick if you have all that......... ;-)


Won't hear about son until much later guess........just hoping and praying that it all goes well. Just think, when they were babies, we were SO excited when they took their first steps.......sheeeeeeesh....... :-D

Dea, has Jonesey opened your message yet? :-(


Quick browse and off I toddle...

Oh yes.......Sylvs car probs. I wonder which is worse? Her blowing a gasket or her big end going???? :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

No Cynths - Jonesey hasn't opened the message. - I fear something is VERY wrong :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Dea Xxx

Cynthia hope all goes ok for your son today <3

Gins it was a week ago that I did the food shop. Didn't get it done yesterday as we had the girls till tea time and didn't have the energy when they left ;-)

Also it was sons birthday. L got him one of those photo cakes it was so funny!

None of us felt like going out (we all have the cold now) so L was ordering a Chinese takeaway.

She uses the number stored in her mobile gives them the address and they ask "don't know that address where is it?"

So she says "you don't know the address, you deliver here all the time"

They both start to give directions (cheekily cos we use them all the time) they give them the name of the road that the takeaway is on say come out the door turn left then left at mini roundabout then right and you are in the street.

The lady says "never heard of that road (the one they are on)

Then the penny drops L had phoned the Chinese takeaway that she uses at her Mums! It isn't remotely near us!!

She apologised but it made our night couldn't stop laughing.

She did then place the order at our local one! :-D :-D :-D :-D


Sylvia glad all has gone to plan re the cabin <3
