Linds.........Dea posted already, scroll down

Went to get some ice from the shop.......sold out. Came home with Ben & Jerry's peanut butter ice cream!

Just realised Linds, the ice cream has the same peanut butter cups (in it) you gave me in Liverpool

Sorry Gins...you're right, I should have posted the area....Dea has sussed it though. I did spot JJ Pendlebury but it was the fact of the 2 initials which made me doubt it but I reckon it will have to be him.....Thanks Dea - much appreciated... <3

Oops don't know how I missed that thanks Dea and Gins :-)

Good morning all :-)

Boled eggs and toast soldiers, bacon butties, eggy bread.

Help yourselves,

Dea Xxx

Yum....eggy bread :-)

Ey Up~~~~~

I'm enjoying a full week off work :-D

Omelette for dinner. I offered JB last night's left over pasta, he said yum, until he realised I was making an omelette for me!

Never got into a proper sleep last night.

Just as I did OH woke me up to say that O's nursery was having a graduation

ceremony for the year above her and when her Nan dropped her off they said

everyone was welcome.

So she phones to ask if we wanted to go.

I had 10 minutes to waken up and get ready. we made it in time.

Now we know what we are in for next year :-)

Cynthia would be proud of me finished a HUGE pile of ironing now all I have to do is put it all away ;-)

It got nicer and sunnier as the day went on turned into a lovely night.

Gins enjoy your week off <3

Graduation, at O's age?

Been to have my poorly finger x-rayed today.

When I got there the GP (not my usual lovely one) had sent in a request for them to x-ray my right index finger when in fact it is my LEFT one :-D :-D :-D - I had a job persuading them to alter the request even though it was obvious that the swollen, purple, excrutiatingly painful one was the one needing attention ;-) :-S :-S

Got to wait a week for the results...................

I do wonder about medics sometimes. When I had the once over at hospital the other week, a letter was sent to GP and I was copied in

Said something about me having pain in my left shoulder, it was my right knee!

Hope your finger settles down Dea, it must be distracting you, you've forgot breakfast :-0

Bacon and egg butties all round

OOops - so I did Ginns - thank you for the lovely breakfast <3 <3 <3

I thought I would try to make a start on the huge pile of ironing I have before it got too hot but I have given up now as it is hard work ironing with one finger stuck up in the air and I keep banging it :-( :-( :-(

See you all later,

Dea Xxx

Nowadays they graduate a few times :-)

It was the children who are die to start school in August who graduated.

They must have had a photographer in at some point as all their photo's were being shown on the big screen.

All done up in cap and gown holding their certificates !

Yesterday they brought in the 1st years from the primary school and they each took the hand of a nursery "graduate" they put their (home made graduating hats) on the child.

Then walked them along the stage to the teacher who placed a school tie around the wee ones neck and gave them a laminated certificate.

All the little ones (like O) who weren't graduating got a small gift (bubbles)

They graduate when leaving primary and going to secondary then graduate again!

The world has gone mad!!

I am off to tidy up and then going to pick up my lovely Lindt chocolates that my Mums cousin has brought back from NYC for me :-D :-D

Tomorrow we have the girls and my friend that is visiting from Australia is coming to visit us again :-D :-D :-D

It is a bit worrying that the medics don't know their right from their left. ;-)

Hope you both feel better soon <3

OOOerrr !

It has gorn all black out there and the breeze is swirling! - There is going to be a BIG storm in a minute! :-(

I have just spent 2 solid hours chopping (with one finger up in the air ;-) :-D ) to make a large batch of spaghetti bolognaise and am ready for a sit down now.....................

Might get back to the ironing in the morning :-(

Where are you Cynthia when I need you? ;-)

I think I will have to move closer to Wigan ;-) :-D :-D

Dea Xxx

Graduate, from primary school!!!!

No doubt there are cards, gifts and parties involved.......money money money

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I expect O loved every minute of it Linds but I do think that they sometimes go too far nowadays.

Grandson had a photo taken last year when he 'graduated' from Nursery - he looked gorgeous in his cap and gown and holding his scrolled up certificate. They didn't have a ceremony or anything though, just the photo.

It can get far too expensive for parents when they go 'over the top' and have all these ceremonies and Graduation Balls etc.

At grandchildren's primary school, year 6 who are about to leave have a 'leaving disco'. Towards the end of the final term they hold a 'toys and books sale' where everyone brings in their 'finished with' toys and books and tables are set out in the school hall after school. It is well advertised and very popular as things tend to be 20p, 50p or £1 and the year 6 children man the stalls.

All the money raised goes to fund their leaving disco and all have a great time.

Good morning all :-D

Cheesie toasties today - help yourselves please <3

Mornin~~~~~

Yum....thanks Dea

Well - what a Numpty I REALLY am !!!

My mobile phone battery has stopped holding it's charge so I decided to send for a new one and have been waiting several days for it to arrive...................

It arrived this morning and guess what> - I have ordered the battery for my old phone by mistake :-S :-D :-D

Now - my quandry is - do I start using my old one again (which at least I can send texts on :-D) or do I order another battery for this one?

Oh well, I have ordered another battery but I may just decide to go back to the old one anyway :-S I can then send lovely text messages with capital letters and full stops etc., just like I used to do in the olden days ;-) :-D :-D :-D

It is a good job these batteries are only around £3 now as the last time I bought one it was over £30 !!!

At least something has got cheaper over the years.............
