Hello all - have been away doing stuff in the "real world".

Sylvia - you're making great progress, but do "gan canny" as we say here.

Jonesey - congrats, the bairn is lovely

Tooty - you'll be a big miss, but know what you mean.

SO beautiful Jonesey - the baby I mean ..... not you dear one. You must be very proud.



Hi MC.......what do you mean the "real world"..?? This IS the real world.........




isn't it? :-S :-D ;-)

Hi Jonesy


she's beautiful!

Thank you all for your best wishes, I will be on facebook or the dark side as Dea likes to call it

Jax yes that was the post I meant and bit my tongue rather than ask for an explanation. There are just to many issues with the site.

To be honest I only nip in and out now for the chat on Fred and with the exception of a few, whom I will miss, I can do over on t'other side. I feel like a rat leaving a sinking ship :-(

Congratulations Jonesey on becoming a Great Grandpa, does this mean you where on medioca before :-S

I have to point out that 'it were not me y'r honour what called it 'the dark side', However, it certainly feels like that whenever I go on there - I do not like it !!! "

I am sure though that those who do go on there will pass your messages on from time to time so we can keep up with you' !!!

Much love,

Dea Xxx <3

Toots....~~~~~~~~~~
Will see you over on fb still so I shan't miss you on here... :-P

Still busy busy busy and the Royal weekend visit starts in an hour or so by Mr Hurricane and Daddy and Mr Hurricanes Goddaddy so Im off to rest before they arrive...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Guilty as charged on the "dark side" I beg mercy of the court

Toot, Toot, Tootsie goodbye,

I probably talk to you more on FB.. anyway.

Lovely little pic of Lexie... I copied it so I could enlarge and have a better look... She is a sweetie.

Cyns a lateral thinker... puts on different hats.... and pops up outside the box... I can relate to that!!

Gins ... why have you put a zip about half way down the previous page? Are you about to form a tear away group?

Back shortly with Breakfast....

Sylvia is not grumpy, Sylvia is not grumpy and she will poke anyone in the eye that says so... when she can get her finger to move up that far.

Pers re the last page. I posted a too long sentence and it took us off the page to edited and it cocked it up

Just a little portion of feta and zuchinni tart with tomato chilli marmalade as I am a VIP today at the Sheffield Utd match and unfortunatley will be forced to eat a three course lunch, champers and suffer a meet with the players after the game

............best bib and tucker, it could be my chance to become a WAG :-D

OOhhh Goody !!! - A 'proper' breakfast this morning and BOY do I need it ! :-D :-D

I can't see a single thing on there today which I don't like !

I will miss out the cereals as they take up too much space for little reward and I will then have room for some of everything ! ;-)

Thank you SO much Persie <3 <3 <3

WHITE RABBITS!

Don't ask me why but ever since I was a lad (Queen Victoria was in her pomp at the time) I and other members of my family have been in the habit of saying those words as the first words we speak out loud on the first day of every month. The belief is that by doing so we will somehow be in the receipt of good fortune during the month. Infantile, probably. Crazy, almost certainly.

Today being the first of October I performed the ritual as usual and then began to wonder whether others have similar customs or traditions that they perform or carry out without actually knowing why or the origin of what they do. Any takers?

Good morning one and all. Thank you for breakfast Persie. However, unlike Dea, I cannot say I like every single thing on there as I actually don't know what some of them are..... :-S I will play safe and go for citrus muffins and lime marmalate - that should put some 'zest' in my day!



Jonesey, there are lots of old wives tales about white rabbits etc. Don't think we have any customs like that in our house to be honest.

However, when I hear of a white rabbit, I think of Harvey from the old James Stewart film! (showing my age now - Gins won't know what I am on about!)

Thinking about 'old wives' tales though, I tend to shake my head in despair when I read of any 'extensive study, costing thousands of pounds' which has been carried out on something which those of us of a certain age, knew already!! I often reprimand the tv and tell the announcer ....."my grandmother could have told you that - so why has so much money been spent on it!"



Dear oh dear.....talking to the tv again :-S

I am a massive Jimmy Stewart fan Cyns and the best film ever 'It's a Wonderful Life' made around the time you were born I think!

Pinch punch first of the month....and you should say white rabbits three time Jonesey

One that many people seem to use Jonesey is when they remark on something good which is happening and they don't want it to suddenly change is 'touch wood' and they look around quickly for some wood to touch!

I don't know where it comes from but I still do it sometimes and so do many other people.

Ohh - I just looked back and realised I had missed Ginny's post!

I didn't realise that today was your VIP day Ginns - DO have a lovely time and don't leave any of that Champagne!!!

Enjoy........... <3

Sorry Cyns....just checked, you were born way before they made the film
