I've got a sweater on today Agatha, it's a bit nippy here as well.

Rita, I cut my own hair, cut my husband's and son's as well. I cut mine this morning before I went out.

Looks like you're up to Marilyn's tricks............. getting your hair done and buying new clothes, should have gone the whole hog and had your nails done as well Rita.

George, I wish I could lie in bed till 10am, I have to get up at 5am every day. Don't work too hard with your cleaning.

:-) :-) :-) <3 <3 <3 :-) :-) :-)

Pauline....lol..I would love to get up at 5am and be able to go back to work.
Afraid my days of building houses and extensions are over...boo hoo.....lol

Hope you have had a great day, even if you've had an early start :-) :-) :-)

George :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

iv got a nice fat chicken in the oven
carnt what for dinner time

I got locked out of the thread.............. had to change to the nz site to get back on.


I'm cooking pork in curry sauce, we need the curry to warm us up.

George, if you hadn't had your accident would you be near retirement age yet?

I'm getting a pizza from pizza hut....lol
After the episode of the burnt trout yesterday, not going to cook today....LOL. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D


George

Hi Pauline, yep I would, but I expect I would have wanted to carry on, still thats life....lol.

George

Your the same age as my Dad George, I remember you saying, he still does three days a week.
We must be saving loads of money Pauline not going to the hairdresser :-D

Hi everyone,
Half way through my chicken curry.
I couldn't got on the site via my normal route :-0
Jean, you're on the homeward stretch now with you treatment. Hope the remaining treatment goes ok. <3
Stephen I intend to be gentle with myself. No over doing it :-D
Dermot,I'll be whizzing past Seb Coe-in my dreams!
I haven't got the endorphin rush yet- at least not like the buzz when I got a load of books from the library!
Lewis is on tonight so i'll be watching that.
Glad that you had a nice day Rita!

George, you're few years older than me and Agatha's a little bit older than my son.

Agatha, we probably do a better job than the hairdresser anyway, at least we get it the way we want it and not the way they want it.

Pat, I was a member of a gym for about 10 years and I still never got that rush you're supposed to get.............. I gave up on it about 2 years ago.

Maddie, I bought 6 toothbrushes today because they were less than half price, my husband just rolled his eyes when he saw them.

Hi all
I use to cut my husbands hair he didnt have much as he got older. I also Cut the boys hair. my daughter does her husbands and her grandchildrens my son cuts his own with a razor lol

George my Dad was a master builder he was born in 1908 when he died my sister and I found a book he had started to write on building and his life growning up. it was more or less in three parts growing up during the first world war and his life as a builder also about his working at Dehavaillans during the second world war and being in the home guard. we got it published , and the family were all given one of the books each, we gave some to the Willesden History Society to sell and the Willesden Records office he went to an ordinary school and left when he was 12 years old. My sister had a letter from the British writing Muaeum in London where all the books are kept, and they asked for one and opne for each of the universities.for oxford university., Cambridge along with London university and the Irish and Scottish universities because he had described all the tools and material they had used in his early life as a builder.a lot of the work was in London some of the well known ones.


Rita

At least she wont get those annoying call centres ringing her Rita, I keep getting someone asking me what make my TV is, I've been putting the phone down on him.
My grandad was in the home guard Rita, he had a wooden gun

Evening All !

I've just arrived in time to say 'Goodnight'.

Been looking at property for my lovely daughter......more for her 'Portfolio'.

Is that what they call it ?

I call it more work for dear old Dad ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Night all ! Off for my shower then bed.

Lewis was quite good.

One of the lads in my office has his hair cut by his Mum. She makes a good job of it.

Stephen I think you like being busy anyway :-)

Pauline, I don't expect to get any rush either. i had to laugh about your toothbrushes. Once I got 60 pencils because they were cheap.I haven't been to the shop that sells things for a 100pence for ages. I think I threw those pencils out after about 5 years or so!

Morning all,
I've been having problems getting in again :-0 Some crazy things happening on here with error messages etc. I tried to change my research interests and it won't let me and also has changed to "I'm an experienced historian", lol. I'm definitely not.
Stephen welcome back from your travels, we missed you. ;-)
Went for a check up on Tuesday, my blood pressure is up a bit, I've gained 8lbs and lost half an inch in height :-( :-( :-( :-( Dear me I should have stayed at home. I wasn't surprised about the weight gain as my knee has been bad lately and I can't walk as far or as fast as I want to.
Diet for me when I get back off my hols next month.
Will catch up on all the news later, Jean thinking of you and hope you are coping with your treatment <3
Off to work soon,

Cath xx

For everyone else.

Have a good day ya all !

Keep safe, keep well, keep smiling :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Morning everyone.
did any of you look at WDYTYA last night Larry Lamb I found it was very interesting and for him to find his mother a brother and they didnt know they exsisted was a real tear jerker.
well to think to day is a pinch punch first of the month day. so hope we all have a good September.?

I am not sure if you know this ? but my friend who lives on this estate emailed me last night, to tell me that www.Ancestrry.com(US version ) had got a free viewing of immigration and shipping records for one week. only she found some of her ancestors on it yesterday.
well time for another cup of tea before my shower.

Rita

Morning all.

We don't have the sun, it's still dark and dull............. but dry.

I didn't see WDYTYA, Rita, haven't seen very many of them.

Cath, I'm still having problems with the site as well, keep having to use the nz instead of uk........ everything seems fine on there.

Don't think I've ever bought 60 of anything Pat, but I do get carried away when I see a bargain.

Had to laugh at Agatha's grandfather having a wooden gun. If we had a home guard now they'd probably be given wooden guns as well............ the country's got no money.

Maddie, the Art Deco cinema was the Paramount Theater, it used to be the Odeon but it closed down years ago. Don't know what's going on with it now though.
Most of Monkwearmouth has been pulled down and rebuilt but some of the old street names are still there so you might be able to find where the houses were.
The pub in the cave is called The Grotto (Marsden Grotto). I haven't been in there since I was 18. I remember it was hard work climbing up all those steps after having a bit too much to drink. Only the wimps used the lift.... :-)
At Seaburn and Roker you can always tell who are visitors to the area............. the ones wearing coats!

Stephen, you're a handy man - can you tell me the best thing to get to unblock a drain? I've blocked the kitchen sink up and the blockage must be in the drain now because the other sinks all seem to be blocked now as well.

I have had one of those mornings. plan to do things and none worked out.

first stop the doctors to make my warfarin appointment for 29th September ( you have to book early )
sorry Rita the pages only go up to 15th of this month. your have to try later in the week and see otherwise need to do it when you come back off your holidays. ?

I would like to make my appointment for my yearly check up which keep appearing on my Repeat perscription. for 19th September .
sorry cannot do that wait till you come back and phone and we will see what we can do. ?( Charmling )

Next stop Newagents ( last week I thought I would order my books to be deleivered each week instead of having to go out and collect them as sometimes when the weather is bad I dont get them )
They said they would start this week. well I didnt get my TV times and today I didnt get my "Chat " and Take a Break " so I called in and brought them over the counter.
. I asked why they had not been deleivered ? it was girl I had not seen before. she checked and said your names on here but there is no tick at the side she said I know what it is you have to have a newspaper as well. ? I told her I dont have them, if I want a special I buy it.
well they will not send it if I dont.
so I said I will have one sun newpaper on a Tuesday .(that was the cheapest one I could think of) but it has got me thinking thats blackmail the guy comes to all the flats in my block three everyday so what different does it make . he has to come here.
I am going to twll them not to bother tomorrow I will collect it.

I am so angry about it.

off my orange box now.

Rita

where have all my friends gone long time no see or hear
I seem to be the only one on here just shows you who has nothing to do all day ME me me .

My Neice Susannah is 12 years old today, and the family have gone to Frome in Somerset for three days. I told her I wanted her to take some photos while she was there. as my Great Great Great Grandparents on my Mothers side had a shop there ( for ever , they died in their 90's ) and not far from there is the ancestors nests where they were born grew up and married . so I am hoping she take some photos of WELLS as well., her and her brother love taking photos.

I keep scrolling through Shellys graves thread hoping someone has gone to the grave yard there as there are loads of Horwoods buried there loads of babies as well.which is very sad. I have a big list of those that died.
