Mandy I didn't do it James did.Even he didn't find it straight forward .Something to do with not finding a file.(Don't ask me lolol).I don't think I will be changing that pic anytime soon.I'll have to wait until he comes home again
I must have been about 2 then Mandy.I don't think you an see it but just in the bottom corner of the photo is my Golly 's leg.

Well I still haven't had that shower.I've made meatballs instead lol.Now I will go .

I wonder what photo Frank will choose ! ;-)

Hope yours has a BONE in it Mandy ;-) ;-) ;-) I wouldn't touch CRAB at this time of year. They carry loads of bugs. :P :P :P. Also very windy here, so you might get blown of the sea freont. I would stay at home if I were you. MUCH SAFER !!!!

:D :D :D :D :D I've got my beady eyes on you.!!!

I haven't got any photo'sme in shots of Will have to look through and see what I've got , I don't think Ros would take one., so don't get too excited.!!!! IGoing to pop in a see the new baby this morning, Hope I don't scare him to death, with my wonderful looks

You only have to look at the posting numbers, to see who does all the rabbiting !!!! our one and ONLY HELEN.

Dinner all prepared. Roast beef,home made yorkshires, parsnips, brussels, runner beans Jersey Royals. Cauli, and cheese SAUCE just for Jane. We don't eat a sweet. So I will just load up the dishwasher (NO NOT ROS.) and let it take over.

The big one this afternoon. Man united V Chelsea. Get dinner over before I listen in on 5 live. Won't go to the pub, I will stay at home instead.

Oh !! David didn't you know that SALOONS don't have RWW. It must be your age :P :P :

Jane what time is James off, ??? Hope he gets on well for his finals.

Our Mel, will be making her way back to base now, hope she enjoyed herself and feels relaxed., and ready to tackle all those weeds,that would have grown while she was away.

Hi All
Was tidying out a cupboard and came across a Tiny book called
A LITTLE BOOK OF FRIENDSHIP. was given to me by one of the mums during my time in the nursery. it is a collection of quotations , so because we are all friends I HOPE :-) I have decided to share these quotations with you, will give you one every time I come on to post. here comes no 1


How rare and wonderful is that flash of a moment when we realise we have discovered a friend. <3 <3

Frank I got a shock when I saw my number of posts lolol.Me rabbit? Never.

I bet Mandy will enjoy that fish supper.Hopefully it will be a lovely afternoon at the coast.

Frank James will be off this evening about 8.He says he prefers to drive in the evening as there isn't so much traffic about.He hasn't even started getting all his things together yet.I bet it will all be chucked in the car.I have all his bedding and towels ready and have done all the washing and ironing that needs doing.He has a big bag of food to go,and will no doubt have a raid of the cupboards later.Have given him a load of money to fill the car up with petrol.Long gone are the days of £30 to fill it.He doesn't use the car much at all when he is at Uni .Just to go to the supermarket for a big shop,and to football practice and matches.Plus he can't afford to just use it as a run around.
He says thankyou for your good wishes for his finals.He will do his best.

No big roast today.He fancied my olive and lemon meatballs with Tagliatelle as his last meal at home.That sits me fine lol

Frank you should get that photo of you in your red uniform that you wore when you had the re enactment of the opening of the tunnel.You were a real smart boy ;-)
Have some lovely fresh speciallity bread for lunch with cheeses and Pate.

Was going to have a go at putting a photo on but haven't got any on the computer of me when little must have lost some when I got this new computer, will have to get up in the loft and dig them out again sometime. You probably don't know how you did it Jane, but your photo came up about ten or more posts back when you were saying you were waiting for your son to put it on, it was already there.

I'm having one of those 'getting nothing done' days, it's nearly 3.00 and I've got sidetracked and not done anything I meant to do today.

Have decided to have decking instead of the patio slabs so a lot of preparation to do before son gets started on it. Not in the mood today though, I shall probably be "busy doing nothing, nothing the whole day through, trying to find lots of things not to do" :-) :-) ;-)

Jane Report 8 May 2011 15:05

Maureen .I think the photo has just been added to every post I have ever made.I went back a long way to have a look at old posts and the pic is on them all lol.I think the same for everyone.I just wish I knew how James did it for me as I would like to change it to a different one.I will see if he has time before he leaves tonight to help me,but his head is buried in work right now.
Something to do with Eugenics .( not quite sure what that is) .All I know it is a very complicated subject. :S

Frank Report 8 May 2011 15:12

Have been trying to get a photo of me in Postmans Uniform posted,but with no luck.

If anyone REALLY KNOWS how to do it, Please spell it out for me, and I will try again.

Smashing day here now, very windy but warm. All water barrels are full to overflowing. so will use that instead of the hose.

Maureen

Maureen Report 8 May 2011 15:39

Right, been in the loft got a photo, let's see if I can put it on. Ann will tell us how to do it Frank, she's really good at explaining, although I did read a post from Sally that said how so I'll go back and see if I can find her post first.

Hi Everyone :D

Here's how I put a picture on.

Click mouse on MY ACCOUNT at the top left of the screen.
Put your password in and click on 'submit'.
Scroll right down until you see 'My Profile' at the left.
Click on 'Change' to the right of the blank box.
Click on 'Find Files' and your computer's files come up in the box.
By clicking on the files pathway in the box you can search for your photos just like you would when you attach one to an e-mail.
When you have found the photo you want click on it and it will appear in the box like an attachment would (writing, not the actual photo)
Then click on 'Send Files'
NO PHOTO will appear in the box, but when you go back into genes you will see your photo on your past posts and it will appear in your new ones.

Good luck!! :-) :-)

See Maureen's managed it......well done!! :D

Hi yes I agree good and bad people everywhere my friend Beryl is not very happy covered in a bad rash after downing one huge jar of pickled cumcumber also she had a phone call from her husband saying he was in the pub eyeballing the local crumpet.

I phoned April and she left some message saying I am not at home at the moment please phone after the Bleat .I think she meant bleep and my ho answered Ba Ba Ba.We have not had a phone call yet.I think Jessica let April answer .Jess will be having her baby soon. .

Uncle Brin is in Scotland and Ryan is in New York visiting his mum and dad. That leaves Jessica and April so will have to go and see her shortly.

Magnifying glass out for Maureen lol.At least you managed it Maureen.
Ann I just love your hat.It reminds me of that rhyme Cockle Shells and Mussel shells ,all in a row.( I can't think of the beginning of it) but in my mind is a little girl watering the rows in a bonnet like yours lol.You look a little like Lucy Atwells children.

As for me saying I had no more things to get ready for James .I just found a basket of dried washing.So the ironing board has been out,yet again.

I have a bit of a dilema!!!!!! HELP!
I put the Meatballs in the slow cooker thinking they had to cook for 3 to 4 hours.Just realised it is 6 to 8 hours.Won't be ready until the earliest at 8 pm.James needs to be gone by then.Can I take them out of the slow cooker and pop them in the oven?.If I can ,how long would I need to do it for??? :-( :-( :S

Happy Mother's Day Shirl!! :D :D

I would love to be off to the sea today like Mandy. I love it when the sun shines and sparkles on the seawater.

We had a chat with a man on a narrowboat on the Ashby Canal yesterday.........why is it always the women that get the job of opening and closing the lock gates!!!! lol He had travelled from Market Harborough and was on a 6 week trip to Wales and back. The immaculate and new looking boat, called Ruby, had cost £40000 and was a present to his wife for their Ruby Wedding........some Ruby Wedding present!!!!!! lol

I slept really badly last night. I could hear the bass beat of a party going on somewhere along the main road and it was lashing it down with rain so they must have had a marquee I think. Today we both feel stuffed up and tired, so I think it might be the pollen. Doing the same as you Maureen, a bit of this and a bit of that but nothing much. lol

Frank, don't you go scaring that poor baby!! He'll get his own back when he's older. lol
