Morning all.

My God, we didn't frighten him off!

Stephen, congratulations on your wedding anniversary. Slàinte mhòr agus a h-uile beannachd duibh.
Marilyn's right, we're very nosy, so next time you drop in - tell us a bit about yourself.

Marilyn, I'm not sure if we can claim him as ours yet............lol

Rita, I don't like the sound of marmalade on kippers, did you ever try it?

Hope it goes OK today Jean, we'll all be thinking of you. When you get back put your feet up and rest.

Oooh Linda, you'll be pampered today - I should think so as well. You worked really hard to make that wedding perfect. Sit back and enjoy it.

LOL at Liz, I know it's a horrible situation Liz but you really make me laugh, it's the way you tell it. I especially liked the line about winning the lottery...........lol

Elizabeth, you definitely got the mature bit wrong....lol

Shelly, the only names I know, out of those you mentioned, were Sooty and Sweep. I used to watch Andy Pandy, The Wooden Tops, The Flowerpot Men and Rag, Tag and Bobtail.

Mo, did you watch The Magic Roundabout? I've seen it but it wasn't on when I was a kid.

Yvonne, I can't remember how old you are, what did you watch when you were a kid?

Hi Pauline I did not try dunking doughnuts in coffee but they made me try the marmalade and I have to admit it was quiet nice. you dont use a lot only a little.
Marilyn you frighten him a way last time now your doing it again asking him about himself.. .
you have one man anyway why do you want another. i think I will email pete and tell him what your up too. ?
i use to put those shows on for the children to watch they loved those more sense that the rubbish they put on for the children today .I cannot beleive poeple let their children watch some of it. throwing things at the wall and acting like a fool.

dont forget tonight BBC 1 WDYTYA Monty Don is on.
Marilyn Spiders not a nice word for me. I hope they dont come to life.

Rita

Well good afternoon everyone, especially Stephen. Many congratulations on your wedding anniversary. May we ask how many years you were celebrating.
We will be celebrating our 47th next February, my lord I could have committed two murders and be our by now. LOL He's a good old stick really, and I wouldn't be without him.
Oh by the way, before Marilyn says anything, I was a child bride.

Linda, no more BBQ's on the horizon, but hey anything could happen.
But we may be having one of our grandaughters to stay, when her parents go on holiday.
At the time of booking, she was living with her boyfriend, and decided she did not want to go.
But now she is back at home, and it's to late to get her booked in.
So our peace will be shattered for 10 to 14 days. Thats if she wants to come here. But she is not a child she is nearly 18 for goodness sake, and should be able to look after herself. I think my daughter is afraid she may get into mischief with her boyfriend when they are away. But the way I look at it, is they lived together, at his mums house, they are still together,
even though she is now back at home, and no matter what, if they are going to get into mischief they will do it anyway.

Pauline the Magic Roundabout,was screened when my children were little
so I had no choice, I had to watch it.
Mind you, I think the programmes they show for children now,are rubbish.
I used to like Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men, and little Weeeeeeed.
I could never get to grips with the saying " Flobbalot weeed" never did find out what it meant. LOL

Rita , kippers and marmalade, thats nearly as bad as the Americans having peanut butter and jam together. I know it's only jelly jam, but the sound of it makes me feel sick. yuk.
Hows you feeling today. What are the 9 tablets you have got to take for.
Hows your son in law now.

Liz, I am surprised at you, not knowing how to tie a windsor knot. Tut Tut,
you slipped up there girlfriend. You could have pulled it a bit tight.. oops
must not say that, unless you have increased the insurance policy.

Afternoon everyone

Nice and sunny today

Son and mate have gone to the pictures so I'm on my tod

When I was little I liked the Woodentops, Spottydog made me laugh, wasn't keen on Andy Pandy, does anyone remember Sarah and Hoppity?

You must have missed us ...???

Have you still got your Dogs ?

Oh so many questions ...LOL

Evening everyone, thank you for all your kind thoughts, I do appreciate your kindness.
Hope you have all had a good day, the weather has been quite good here, and been warm.
I enjoyed having my Grandaughter yesterday, she has reached the interesting stage now, and has discovered that she can make a lot of noise.
I remember most of the childrens tv programmes you have been talking about,
my daughter loved Andy Pandy, Muffin the Mule and The Wooden Tops.

Yes still got all the dogs, had a busy fortnight while my boss was away...lots happened...i was exhusted.

Oooooh I can't wait to see the piccies.
Hi Lady good to see you back. My son in law pays my account for me coz I don't have a credit card, and then I give him the money.
Have you seen that we have now got two new friendlies on here. Jean and Stephen.
The rest of us are still the same gas bags we have always been. LOL

Jean did you also listen to," Listen with Mother" on the radio. Well I think that was what it was called. I know our Rita will be able to confirm this.

just a quick run in and out cos im up marilyn tree LOL

welcome back lady

mo you dont need a credit card cos i ant got one nether
i use my debit card for payment

Shelly, I prefer my SIL to pay, that way, if I am short I can owe it to them, till I get my pension. LOL

Morning everyone, hope today will be a good one for you.
Mo, I did Listen with Mother, used to love it.

Anyone for breakfast?
Jean xx

Moning All welcome back lady.
Yvonne thank you for the photos of you and your husband it is very nice. my sister lived in new York for 11 years she married Tony who was born in Manhatten and when he came out of the froces they went back to new York. she also lived in New Jersey and Italy. so she has been about.

Thought this might give you all a laugh. it has been raining heavily all night long the car park is flooded and it is still raining. good I thought ? the garden is fresh now and more flowers will appear. it is nice and clear as the windows are all clean due to the rain.
15 minutes ago the window cleaners appeared. yes they are cleaning the windows with their hose in the rain. I cannot think why they chose now in the rain. ? why dont they go away and come back another day when it is not raining and the windows need doing ? need I ask.

Also on Frioday I saw two doctors looking for house numbers in these flats they run as follows 8 in first t block then there are five one bedroomed bunglaows.then another block of 8 flats. and then a block of 4 which I am in. to see these numbers you need to go into the entrance to read them on the bells. so if there is an emergency car or ambulance or fire engine called they have to run around looking for the flat.

Must be four years ago I asked for the numbers to be put on the side of the blocks so people did not have to do this. last year I was told after keep on at the trust it was in the pipeline. what pipe line it is still not done.

Our Estate Manager is still away on holiday in Poland where she was born(.10 days now. she has been there )so I have to wait till she comes home to do anything about it.

so girls you can see I am getting better up and ready for action LOL


Love Rita

Morning Jean....and All.


Just got up !!

Jean hope you get on OK today.wish I could go with you for a chat in that waiting area, it can be daunting waiting your turn cant it ? Never mind your nearly half way there. x

Nothing much on BB Mo is there haven't heard Shelly talk about it lately I think she must still be up my tree !! LOL

I haven't seen a pics of Elizabeth YET !! come on Elizabeth we are all waiting.....
Wonders whether Lady will send us one of herself ?

Rita hows you today?

Think I'll make the Tea & Coffee.

(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)? (_)? (_)? [_]/ [_]/ too early for bics as I have not been shopping yet.
EDIT...
Oh Rita you were typing as I was ..LOL

Morning everyone
I have been up a while but busy with the family tree, helping my sister add her info to FTM. She's had it ages, but only just started using it.

The spa day was lovely. Very relaxing. Massage helped a lot but I still have a stiff shoulder, think its tendonitis ???

Welcome back Lady.

Rita you only want those guys back when it's dry so they have to strip to the waist when the sun shines !!!

Hope today goes well Jean you are getting on well as Marilyn said.

Off now to do the ironing before hubby gets back. Can't do any washing as it is very wet here

Linda :O) XxX

Morning all, the weather's a bit iffy today, not sure what it's going to do.

Hi Lady, you seem to have got yourself sorted now, nice to have you back.

Rita, you must be feeling better, that sounds more like you - ready and waiting to tackle the manager when she comes back.

Hope it goes well today Jean, have they told you if it's working yet? It would give you a bit of encouragement if they let you know it was working.

Marilyn, have your grandchildren eaten all the biscuits?



Edit: my post disappeared again, had to type it all out twice - so I didn't see that Linda was here.

Glad you had a good day yesterday Linda, would you like to go again? I'm not offering by the way...........lol.
I was just wondering if it was something you'd do again.
