Morning all

Liz lots of men wear pale blue shirts these days for weddings . as for your son he should say he cannot go paintballing as he cannot afford it. the guy who suggested it must have money and not really thought of those who have not and are struggling.to make ends meet it is shame when that accurs but there are lots like him unfortunately..

LInda your becomming a little knitter Lol it is good for your fingers and wrists. I cannot do it much now I do now and again.
I use to always be knitting when I was younger.

We have had rain as well and it fell like a fountain but it has done the world of good to the gardens . the ground was borwn with need of water.
I bet people who have allotments are pleased

My Grandson who is in the army has been given a posting overseas but thank god not in Afganistan he goes for 6 months he has already been to Afganistan and did his tours.

well time for me to pull myself together and start doing housework. I had a shower this morning and it took me ages as I felt so tired when I got up.

have a good day.

Morning all,

Just got up !!!!

I rolled over at 7-30 and that's what happens...LOL

Nice though....

I'm off for my bath... xx

Elizabeth
if you look in I wanted to tell you that article I wrote about the Public Toilets in our shopping centre was published in the local magazine I got my copy this morning. I wonder if the council will take notice of it.

Rita

Whats that about the toilets Rita ?

Have I missed something again.....!!

I'm going on Plymouth Hoe this after noon ,they have a lot of old fashion boats in the harbour and it looks interesting with stalls and a lot of peeps dressed up in period costumes,
Hope it don't rain ...

I have just had a reply from a member about a hot match in February ..!!
I had to go back and see what he was talking about ...LOL

Off for some house work .....ugggghhhh

Marilyn I hope you enjoy the show and that it does not rain they had something like that when I was on holiday it was really lovely.

The toilets was something Elziabeth and I spoke about on an email. she was having things in her aera closed down
I told her we had a large shopping aera and no toilets available we have many elderly people who shop on the square. They have a big Waitrose. a Post office. Cleaners.. Chemist . Estate Agents .Hair dressers. News agents but no toilets.
They have a place called strollers that opens a few hours in the mroning for elderly peop-le who can get tea and cakes. and use ther toilet. the church opens as well for tea and coffee a few hours. so it is a problem for people with children or are not of retirement age. we did have a Public toilete when I first moved here 8 years ago they shut it because of vandles and it never opened again. so I wrote and article about it and sent it to our local Magazine and today they publised it . so I am hoping that one of the councillors will read it and take heed and maybe do something about it. I am ok as I live nearby but others come by car and buses.and I am often stopped and asked where the public Toilets are. so I wrote a long letter about it.

Rita

hi everyone

hope you are all well, OH has got over his manflu but he says he hasn't got time to do decorating cos he goes back to work Monday, mind you he did sort out the loft insulation so I must be thankful for small mercys lol

I've just done the GR survey, didn't have much to say I don't use the search things anymore, I mostly go on the boards and I 've got a tree on here, I use Ancestry aswell

Liz have you got a Bon Marche near you, they do nice clothes (not mens)
Tesco do nice mens shirts and ties, my son has bought a couple of shirts in there for college and job interviews

Afternoon All.

Hello Yvonne.......nice to see you pop in again be grateful for small mercy's ...LOL

Rita ,that is very bad not having any loo's near your shops , I always go to Mc D's or sneak in anywhere that has a toilet. I'm good in finding all the toilets in Pubs , I just walk in .....haven't been challenged yet !!

Well the boats were very interesting ,they had Francis Chichesters yacht there on show ..
Oh why do they always want to Charge a fee, when its advertised as a spectacular display for the family .You could view the boats from the harbour ,but if you went on the pontoon there was a charge !!
We made it known it was a rip off ...in no uncertain terms ..LOL
Anyway we had a great walk and met loads of people we knew from my childhood days .....AND IT NEVER RAINED ..great.
home now to get tea .....curry ...hmmmm.

Hello all.
Yvonne don't mention Bon Marche to Liz, she has already bought an outfit from there, and taken it back. She has now got a lovely dress to wear. It's the buying of a shirt for Mr Cheerful thats causing her headaches now.
He's such a pain the bum, theres no pleasing him is there Liz.

Rita, we are having problems locally to us with toilets in the Pentagon Center. The council sold the franchise on, and now the people who bought it, want to charge for use of the loo's.
Local people are up in arms over it. It has always been a free facility, up till now.
They are talking of charging for use of the invalid toilets as well.

Oh Shelly, your poor son, fancy threatening to Fa*t in his face. That reminds me of when we were first married, and Roly promised me a treat.
Being all innocent, I asked what it was, he said I will show you tonight.
My mind was working over time, thinking what treat I was in for.
That night, he said would you like your treat now, I asked him what it was, he said a Dutch Oven. Ooooh I thought, I like the sound of that. Till he passed wind, and shoved my head under the covers, and held them there so that I could not get out. I was green round the gills by the time I got out.
Dirty little swine that he is, was killing himself laughing. Never again did I trust him to surprise me. LOL

Marilyn, I hate to say it, lol, but I told you so. Yippeeee Ben is out,snidey little toad that he is, should have been out ages ago. pmsl.I know you liked him, sorry mate.
John James was only saved because the fans want to see waht happens between him and Josie.
Don't know if the newby will last very long though.

Ooh Linda I hope it keeps dry for your street party. I will keeep my fingers crossed for you.

Liz I hope you get Im indoors sorted out with his bloo*y shirt. Get one thats to tight and with any luck he might choke himself. Ooops sorry perhaps I should not say that.

Jean I hope your day is going o.k. Don't overdo it though.

Hi All,

I'm sitting here with my bottle of wine sipping away ...having had a Thai curry .watching the European Olympics ......LOVELY !!

Mo, Ben what a sad night......he'll do OK outside ..LOL

Now ......I'm relaxing after my long walk.....

Hello everyone, hope your day has been peaceful and relaxing.
I have had a lazy day, but as it has been very wet haven't been out. was hoping to put some bizzie lizzies in my tubs, but will have to wait for a dry day.
Take care and have a nice evening.
Jean xx

Dear Rita

Hello

Hope you are all doing okay.

Dear Rita......good for you, getting the article published.

Do you know here there is no local toilet?

The council/distrct authority have just closed down the playcentre, the main library and stopped funding groups for the disabled, parents and many others.

It was staggering to learn that the council just did this at their budget meeting.

Some of these groups have been going since before WWII.

What a disgrace.

Take gentle care
Very best wishes

Hi ...Elizabeth

Jean.... another day of rest tomorrow ....make the most of it .
Bizzie Lizzy's can wait a bit longer .

Mo & Shelly , if you are still around I think Fireworks are going to go off in BB now the geeks gone in.....he's trouble..BIG TIME !!

Night everyone x

Marilyn, I don't like the geek, he looks like a bully boy. I can imagine him picking on young Andrew,coz he is a gentle lad and the type that gets picked on in real life.

Night Night all, god bless. Speak to you when I get back from my day out with the family.

Morning all
dont feel too good this morning I ache all over wonder if it is Lady flu.? men get it so why not me. ?
truthfully my back and legs are killing me. and I am sneezing as well.
so I am not going to do too much today. dont want to be ill with my scan coming up.

Elizabeth you did tell me about your closures I did see somehting on TV about a palace where all those you listed were being closed.
you would thinik it would be a law that toliets should be installed in a large shopping aera. some of the big supermarkets do have them Sainsbury;s and Teseco's seem to have them in there stores unless they are small stores.

I dont think these people plan things right when they have these idea's of putting shops up in an aera with no toilet facilities.

It is very overcast here no blue sky only dark and light clouds floating above.

have a good day.
Rita

Morning everyone, hope you are all ok.
Rita, am sorry you are not feeling too well today,
take things easy today and relax if you can.
We actually have some sun here this morning,
dont know how long for though.
Wish you all a happy day.
Take care.
Jean xx

Morning all,

Sorry to hear your not well Rita, maybe you ought to stay in bed for the rest of the day , you'll feel better by tomorrow for it .
I'll make you a nice Hot cuppa (__)? so you don't have to get up !!

Its overcast here again and the rain has just started......so that's my walk sorted .

Nothing else to do now ........could read all the posts.

Back later..

This is a quickie I have just got up I went back to bed this morning felt giddy and was shivering so I have spent the best part of the day in bed. I cant eat anything either.
I took a couple of paractmol .I have got up tp make myself a cup of tea. to see if that helps
I am going back to bed in a moment.

Rita

That's right Rita, go back to bed, it's the only way to fight it off. You need to rest and drink plenty of fluids. Mind you, if you drink a lot of fluids - you'll be up and down all the time to the loo. Hope you feel a bit better tomorrow.

We've had rain as well Marilyn but it's stopped - so might go and hang the washing out again.

Jean, I hope you get plenty of rest today because you have to start back with you treatment tomorrow.

I've been messing about with hubby's lappy again, it won't do a Norton live update. I've contacted them and someone is coming on-line to find out what is wrong.

Dear All

Hello

Hope you are all okay and doing better.
