Hi everyone I tried getting onto this site it has driven me carzy
why this site keeps getting this trouble makes me wonder if the gremlins are at work? Shelly loved the picture of you son camping in your front room. I thought it was wonderful.
George I love to watch the sailing from Portland Bill I saw the racing there last year they had the childrens race with all different coloured sails
the adults sailed later on.
It was such a hot day as well.
Hope you had a good day George.

See you all tomorrow
Night

Morning
Hope you all slept well. I bet Shelly is still sleeping !!
Bit dull at the moment but it is supposed to brighten up later.

Off to the shops with my youngest this morning she is shopping for her holiday so I need to put the reins on her spending, if necessary.

We have the youngest , her husband and his Mum and Grandma coming to dinner tomorrow, so I just need some fresh veg.
Out to friends tonight, so no cooking today.

Have a good day everyone

Linda :-) <3

I got up early to get stuck into a massive pile of ironing :-( I'll be back later if I don't get lost in the pile :-D
Hope all are well,

Morning all.
Feeling pretty shattered at the moment, we were babysitting baby Lilly last night. She was a little angel, and went straight to sleep this time after her last bottle. Phew that was a blessing,after the last escapade with her..

We are off to a silver wedding anniversary celebration today. Confusion reigns though, as we have to be at our local R.C church for 3p.m,but we are not sure if they are having a blessing done, or just a celebration in the church hall.
Sounds exciting (NOT) the invite is from 3p.m till 8p.m.
Surely if it's just a party to celebrate, they would have held it in the evening.
The invitation was not very explicit.
Well I will let you know tomorrow how it goes, you never know of it's that
good, I may be back here by 3.45. ;-)

Enjoy your day everyone. <3

Morning All,

Not a very nice day here...YET ..!!

Mo...I would have thought that invitation involved a blessing in the church first, some RC do have a have a short Mass said sometimes...this I only know as my Mother & Father had a mass said on all her main anniversary's.

Enjoy your day ....anyway . :-D

I'm a busy bee today ....got family for Dinner tomorrow and need to prepare some food , I need to relax tomorrow ,dont want to be in the kitchen all day :-S

Maddie hows K knees now ? you should;nt put the poor chap under pressure of painting with poorly knee's :-S

Morning everyone, its lovely and sunny here in Cambridgeshire, I went to Essex yesterday to view properties but none were what we wanted, we did like a couple of seaside places though, so we will keep looking at what properties come up.
Off to the caravan today, Oscar is sitting near the back door waiting to go, he wont move until we do.
The venison farm is up the road to me Maddie, Its lovely when they have young ones there, they are so lovely.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

WEll Dermot better men talked about Women than Wars.

I go cold when people tell me they are cooking Venison. it is bad enough cooking full grown animals but when it comes down to Veal and things like that it is a definate no no to me, but then I am not a big meat eater.

A place I use to eat out with 6 of my friends (we went out every four weeks ) they had an Ostrict farm. you went into the restaurant seeing these things running about in a wired encloser I think the Place was called" The Prior" on the way to Lowerstoft. four of my friends ordered this for their meal all said they had enjoyed it one said it was a bit strong. they asked me to try it no way could I do that.

Mo that does sound like the church blessing followed by food.not all these hold parties in the evening. many reasons they dont. people coming from far away long drive back. people working. maybe the church hall was booked for something else for the evening. later on.
anyway hope it all goes well.

enjoy the Caravan Agatha.

Back home
Well I enjoyed the shopping. I got some things for myself too !!! A new gypsy skirt, half price, been watching out for one for a few summers and they went out of fashion. So I had it, couldn't pass it over. Some toiletries and bits for my next holiday and oh a lovely leather weekend bag. 60% off so a bargain.
I hope hubby thinks so too.
My daughter got all her things and spent a bit but not tooo much. So she is happy.

Only disappointment was I did the washing before we went out and hung it out. Well it tpped. Huge thunder clouds and puddles so big on our way home. Well needless to say the washing is dripping on the line though the sun is shinning now !!!

Enjoy the weekend away Agatha.
Have a good afternoon everyone

Once again trying to get on this site has been a nightmare. I dont know what else to do. I have emailed and they have not even replied which is unusually.

This afternoon I sat down to watch a couple of TV films why do they film these in the dark, you see outlines but who the hell they are you have no idea.?
the other film was dark but you did get light now and again. I wondered if
when they were making these films they had a blackout LOL

I was reading about the women who is coming into East Enders. Polly Perkins is coming in as Dot Cottons sister Rose she was in Eldorado which was axed 18 years ago.
I wonder how long she will last.?

No George today I bet he is off on one of is jaunts.
