Had a girls night in with my daughters, lots of wine, a Chinese takeaway, silly games and lots of laughter................ Brilliant.
Have some ironing to do this morning and then a lazy afternoon, well that's the plan anyway.
Maddie hope you are feeling better and everyone else is well,
Enjoy your day.

Morning all
Slept late this morning after going to bed around 1:00, finishing off some knitting !!!
Dull here this morning, but I have the washing on, hoping it will dry outside.
I need to cut at least one lawn while hubby is at work , til 3:30 if we are lucky. He was really late yesterday. Bad accident on the M25, air ambulance - top cut off the car - masses of jams. Then when he got onto the road that leads to ours another bash in sight of our house...... but had heard nothing !!!!! Then we went to our daughters to return something yesterday evening and there was a crash at the traffic lights down the road from hers, neither car looked too good in that either, but looked OK for the people, thank goodness. So enough accidents or I won't leave home.

Have a good day everyone

Linda :-) <3

Morning Friendly Threaders, Thankyou for the email Pauline, I loved it, it was so funny.
Hope you are feeling better Maddie, my eyeballs hurt when I had chicken pox,
so I know how that feels.
We went to see the renovation yesterday, it was a big bungalow that backed onto the sea front, structurly it was good, but it needs gutting and a new kitchen, bathroom, windows, and a good decorate, and the garden needs slashing down as everything is over grown, but we really liked it, so mum and dad hope to get our home on the market next monday, as there are a few things that need touching up this week, I was speaking to one of the neighbours and she said they have been waiting for the right people to come along as its been empty for some time.
Have a nice Sunday everybody.

Icelanders don't have surnames. Their second name is the first name of their parent - Magnus Magnusson or Gudrun Magnussdottir are examples.

Women don't change their names on marriage.

My surname has my Dads first name in it Dermot.

Hello Lovely People,

this is the first time I have had chance to get onto here to day.

Couldn't get on earlier, kept on getting the Error Message.

What is happening?

Thank you for your enquiries about my health. I have been out for a few hours, just to get a blow of fresh air.

I will be back at work tomorrow. I get very restless when I am doing nothing. How I will cope with retirement - when it comes - I dont know.

Went for a nose around the shops today, still got money burning hole in my pocket. Even the Sales couldn't prise it out, nothing caught my eye.

Have a good evening everyone. Hope you are all well.

<3

Evening all. Nice to see ya, to see ya nice.

Pat did you have to go on a muscle building course, to hold that book you are reading. lol

Maddie, good to hear you are bearing up. I suppose it's better than bearing down.
Don't work to hard tomorrow.

Hello Cheeky Girl.

Mo, I can assure you that if there was ANY chance that I would be bearing down, it would be a gas oven job.
