Mel, you are getting more like me with meals!! lol

And here am I sweating over the Saute potatoes lol,and the spanish chicken thing in the oven.Hannah had Cheese on toast lol.......I quite fancied that.

Chris is just picking our first baby carrots! for dinner

The photograph is of children Annx,but it was rather prophetic.
He grew up to become a leader of men.

Well I have sat here at the pooter and watched programs on bbc Iplayer!! Now off to feed the chickens and then dig down the freezer.

Family all gone and I've tidy and hoovered up the mess Sofia drops on the floor luckily I have a big plastic table cloth under her chair otherwise my carpet would be a right mess.

LOL No Jane chicken for us tonight :D

Beef cooked , just had a hot Beef Sandwich with horseradish , hope i don't suffer for it later !!

Frank , hope you'll soon be feeling better, and back with us soon <3

I think the wind has dropped now , but there's some black clouds about ,looks more like rain .

Fiona, it takes me ages to clear up after the little ones have gone , but i do like to see them eat well ,Chelsea's the one that always wants seconds !!!
Jake is like a bean pole ,tall and skinny ,he has days when he hardly eats anything .

Lol Mandy .You say the wind has dropped.It may pick up again after that hot beef and Horseradish !!!!
I am stuffed now,no room for pudding.That will do for tomorrow.I know it's our anniversary,but we are going out for a meal on Wednesday.So I am doing Roast Beef and all the trimmings.I have a funny feeling I will have to go and buy some spuds.The ones I have look a bit past it.(just like me ) lol :-(

Jane, it won't be me with the wind ..... it will be hubby !!! LOL

He can go up and down the scale LOLOL

Know what you mean about tidying up after the little ones have gone. Took me ages to find my car key last time Finley was here. It was under the sofa.

Have had a mixed weekend. Started off really good. Had lots of fun with daughter that's getting married, she looked beautiful in the wedding dresses, got to the point where I couldn't say which one I liked best, still more shops to go to though, which will make it even harder to choose. Stayed at their flat last night and we were all going off today to see daughter with baby Harry, on the way the car started playing up so had to just come straight home, didn't want to risk a 60 mile round trip, MORE EXPENSE as Frank would say. Can't even get it sorted until Tuesday.

Anne, did you get my last e.mail I sent earlier?

If your'e sending Frank a get well card,please add my name.

What's he done,or had done?

Why can't we get these photos a bit clearer, yours looks really interesting David but I can't make it out very well.

Just a quick message to say hubby home safe and well.
Maureen Yes I have got your messages today thanks

Frank Do take care and REST please.Hope its nothing serious and if you are no better do not be afraid to call the DR out!!!

I'm off to bed, I know it's early but I didn't sleep too well last night, never do when not in my own bed. It's not the bed, it's the pillows, I meant to take mine with me to daughters but was rushing and forgot them.
So night night all, hope you have a restful night Frank and are feeling better tomorrow. We do worry about you.

Maureen ,I am glad I'm not the only one who takes her pillows with her where ever she goes.
I wish I could take my Mem*ry foam Mattress to, my pillow is Mem*ry foam aswell . I don't sleep at all well in other beds as my back really plays up.

Frank , I second everyone's thoughts, Hope you are soon feeling better,

Night night
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Anne, nice to hear your hubby's home safe and sound , how long before he's off again on the next trip ?

You carn't beat your own bed , i know when we've been away ,to get back in your own bed is just heaven !!!

Frank, thinking of you ,hope you have a better night .

Night Night everyone xx

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :-( Just lost another post. Will start again!!!!!!

Hello everyone, yes I did enjoy my time out yesterday and it was very funny looking back. Keith is definitely better at driving a car than pushing me around. I ended up using hand signals for L and R - comedy capers, haha.

Frank my thoughts are with you and Ros. I hope the doctor gives you a thorough check and the all clear. Until then, get lots of rest. I will stop the emails until you are feeling more chipper; don't won't to overload the inbox. Take good care.

What a day it has been - so much rain and the pool yard flooded. OH was out there in the wet-weather gear trying to unblock the drain. Something is stuck in the pipe between the pavers and the roadway. It always happens now - time for the plumber to investigate I think!!!!

Mandy love roast beef and Yorkshire pud, I can't come at horseradish, no way. My dad always loved it.

Anne what work does your husband do that he has to travel so much? Does he have to go all over the world or around Europe and Britain?

Jane how was the Spanish/Italian? chicken and sauteed potatoes ummmmm, but I love toasted cheese sandwiches too with a bit of Paprika sprinkled on top.

Hubby has to go out tonight to see a client in Terrigal and Joel will be off to his guitar lesson when he gets back from TAFE. I don't like it when they are out on the roads in this weather. Another nice place for you all to Google - Terrigal. Lots of nice restaurants and accommodation, with brilliant ocean views.

Maureen loved the firemen joke - keep them coming.

Hi to Annx, Fiona, Mel, David and Shirl when she gets on here again.

Off to watch the news now. Have a good day 5.30 pm EST.

Morning Kim and everyone.
I hope you get that plumbing problem sorted !.It is one of my worst nightmares,blocked pipes,leaks ,floods.Chris doesn't do plumbing lol.He has had too many disasters in the past.

Frank I do hope you are feeling better this morning and that you are able to get that arm moving now.I bet Ros will be keeping her eye on you to make sure you don't get up to any mischief .

It is so dark this morning with some drizzle.I had a terrible nights sleep,keep waking up with the sweats.Poor Chris was getting really cheesed off with me.

Kim that Italian Chicken was delicious.I got it at a great Butchers and Deli.They make up some really tasty things.I think the chicken was stuffed with a pesto or herb butter and the outside was covered in all sorts of herbs.

Anne I bet you are pleased to have your OH back.I hope it was a successful trip.

Right I need to get movin' and groovin'.........BBL

Evening Kim
Morning Jane

It's dry at the moment here, we have had a small shower and it still windy but not as wild as before. need to do bed sheets, put keep putting them off because of the threatening rain.

Daughter no 2 has gone back to work this morning with 2 black eyes hidden under make up but you can still see the bruises, I said I hoped no one in the shop thinks she's been abused.
She lost her glasses in the accident , they must have knocked her eyes when the car somersaulted, Luckily she had an eye test 2 weeks ago and have had new glasses ordered, there due in sometime this week .

OH left this morning for the 12.30pm flight from Edinburgh to Germany. due back on Wednesday. great bed to myself again tonight.

coffee time
BBL

I am up and about this morning. Thanks for all the good wished.

Saturday evening i rang in the order to the Indian. Put the phone down and went into a body spasm, shook all over and couldn't keep a limb still. I just wanted to get out of the house into the freesh air. I pulled myseft to the front door and reached Ros's car to lean on. My youg neighbour came out to his bin and saw me. He came round and stood with me, and stopped me falling over. Bought me back in doors. Ros rang 999 thinking I had another stroke. They kept her on the phone for sometime, then said they would get NHS direst to call within the hour. TWO HOURS later they rang talked again for about half an hour. Told her to get me to bed,and leave me there with lots of liquid and make sure I only has loose cloths on. I stay inbed from 9.00pm till 5.00 pm yesterday. I have to go and see my own doctor tuesday morning. I must admit I don't fel on top of the world. What with the shakes and less use of my right hand and arm. I am also getting double vision.Apart from that I am as fit as the "BUTCHERS DOG" Ros has been very worried thinking I should have been taken to hospital, and not left all weekend.

Still in dressing gown, will get a shower and swtay as I am. I can soon pop back into bed if I feel like it.

See you all soon.

Phew! You are here Frank.I did wonder if it was another stroke you had had.
Could it be a T I A? Hopefully you will get some more use back in the arm and hand.Just Chill today and do nothing until you see your Dr tomorrow.
A big(((((((HUG))))) from me to you.

Fiona hopefully her bruises will fade soon.You are right.Someone will think she has been battered.Thank goodness for makeup!

Must get dressed now.I have just peeled the potatoes and got the veg ready.
