Jean take it easy,and get some rest. It must be uncomfortable for you, with the drain in. I do hope you can get some sleep tonight though.
God willing all will be well. Take care love, we are all here should you need to yell and shout at someone.

Rita, the paint or wallpaper has not been bought yet. But no doubt it will be my job to pay for it,as it was my idea.
I don't mind really, because it will be done the way I want it to be.
It's surprising how much we women can do,if we put our minds to it,isn't it.
My little buddha,sits in his chair and enjoys watching me. LOL
But if I get really stuck, I will get the whip out,and get my own way,one way or another.

Hello Linda. Hows the knitting going,have you finished any of the cardigans yet. They don't take long to do , do they. I keep forgetting the buttons for the garments I have finished.
I am on my sixth one at the moment. I guess I will have to start making the next size up soon.

I wonder where Pauline and Shelly are tonight.
And what has happened to Elizabeth,there is no more football on,so she must be hibernating.
I hope Liz is o.k, and has not done Im Indoors in.
I forgot Yvonne is on holiday isn't she.
And of course Sueeee, our invisable friend. Perhaps she is busy with the horse.

Morning Linda
and everyone else who tunes in to this thread.
It rained heavy last night the garden is lovely and fresh the plant all smiling at the rain. during the evening we had a terrible wind outside my flat is a little alcove with plants in pots in belong to the old guy above my flat. he has two long troughts with lovely masses of flowers in the wind lifted one up and threw it in the air
it landed on its side it is on the ground now it was too windy to stand it back up just shows you how strong that wind was.

Did you see Bruce last night my god I never realised how senile he is it got me down after a while he was directing his self all the way through it and his wife did nothing but dress up to the nines and sway back and forth.

Morning All,

Rita I have gone off Brucie, I never knew he was such a self centered old man.
He got on my nerves just telling the camera crew what not to film.
He said my wonderful wife so many times..... as though she was a trophy !!

one wonders if he won her at golf, instead of a beauty contest ..LOL

Hope I'm not related to him now......anyway my Dad has not got a
pointed chin .!!!

Its pouring with rain here today ,not nice at all.
not much you can do on a day like today.

Jean......you poor dear , just do nothing today and relax are you on your
own ?

bath time ......before grand daughter gets here .

Marilyn
He was a doggy old so and so wasnt he. he is a bit of a playing to the camera type person.
she is a funny person too I wonder why they married big difference in age as well as looks LOl
Just becuase yout father has not got a chin like that does not make a differnce to the parents you Dad could have a different mother and he could hav taken ofter her side onf the family.does he have any of Bruceies way ? Lol

My children have always been told you have different fathers because my first one a girl has black hair like me the second a boy bright red hair my third a son blond hair I use to get asked did you change milkman then.
but as they have grown up you can see my daughter is like me. my eldest son is like my father and my youngest son like his father

I hope Jean is OK.

Love Rita

OK Rita, we believe you - but I did hear that your coalman had black hair, your milkman had red hair and your window cleaner had blonde hair......lol

I didn't see the Brucie thing but it sounds like he didn't come across very well.

It doesn't really matter Marilyn because your dad wasn't the biological son of Johnson anyway. I'm sure his real dad was much nicer, well.........he didn't marry your grandmother - so maybe he wasn't........lol

Linda, I hope the weather holds out for you tonight.

Mo will be out looking for paint and paper today, we women don't half give ourselves some work don't we? Well, apart from Marilyn...........she gives Pete some work....lol

Was Shelly not here yesterday?

Jean you must be so worried waiting for the results. I hope it's negative, but like Linda said - you've been quick to take action, so you've got a head start.

That's 2 lots of scan results we're waiting for now..........Jean's and Marilyn's.



Edit: Got to go out now, be back later.

Hi Pauline
The milkman did have red hair but the coalman was bald.
My sister has red hair or did they take after the scotish side of the family. My gran came from Shopshire and they all had black hair like mine with fair skin and blue eyes so I am like my gran everyone who knew Gran said I am like her double
My youngest son is also like me but has his father hair poor son being like me.
Jean and Marilyn maybe worried about their results but hopefully they will be OK it is the waitng that is the worse you imagine all sorts of things.

Marilyn I have been plagues with aircraft this morning it got quiet frightening as they came in low and everything rattled here. they have the big Farnbourogh Airshow on the 19th I think it is for a few days so they pratice
I saw the red arrows once in formation and they looked so good I cried at the sight just shows you what an old fool I have become.
I have been a fan of there.s forever. I even have a CD full of them in pratice and at Air shows.

Hello all.
I have just emerged from under all the wallpaper stripping. Thank goodness I clear up as I go,or it would take me forever to get the sticky paper off the carpet.

Pauline I have still not decided whether paper or paint the wall. I will let you know when I go shopping for whatever I choose.
The next thing on my agenda, is to emulsion the ceiling,then do the glossing.
Oooh a womans work is never done.
I have just started to prepare dinner. Flash fried peppered steak, chips and peas, yummy I am starving.

Guess what happened today. I was busy upstairs stripping the wall, when Roly came running up shouting, " What have you done now," I asked him what the heck he was on about,he said you have tripped the electric out, uhmmm what, I said to him am I that clever that I have set of all the burglar alarms in the street then, we have got a power cut, it's nothing to do with me. What a narner he felt. LOL

I hope Jean is o.k,she has not been back to see us today.

Dear All

Hello

Hope you are well.

Is there something wrong with the GR site?

I send my messages ans they don't seem to get through.
The return arrow has disappeared and the screen keeps wobbling!

No, I have not been on the sauce!

Take care
Very best wishes

Elizabeth, I have had problems with this site today as well. I lost it completely earlier, after my last posting. It's a blessed nuisance.

Marilyn, get the emergency services on stand by,coz I am going to do the ceiling myself. I can reach it by standing on my small kitchen stool, it's not a very high ceiling at all.
My son is working now, so I can't really call on his services. He has gone back into retail work,instead of pub work,thank goodness.
I used to worry no end when he was in the pub trade. You could never guarantee that trouble would not kick off. I used to dread getting a knock on the door,to find the police there telling me that he had had his head kicked in.

Hi Shelly, don't spend to much time up that tree. I have seen a dog sniffing round the tree trunk, and cocking his leg, so make sure you wash your hands when you get down. LOL

Are you off on holiday tommorrow or saturday Rita.

Linda did you get your doctors appointment sorted.

Ooops sorry Marilyn I forgot to answer your question, yes I do still watch BB. I wish Keeeeeeeeva would lose when it comes to doing the eviction task. She seems to get away with blue murder.
I am not sure who I like or dislike.
