MBE, MBE, MBE, and a Knighthood.

You were not alone ladies.

Tom and I gave Bobby and Andy a quick training in Security and Surveilance Techniques then we all went on to various locations around Buck House.

After the hoax this morning we were not taking any chances. We had to protect our precious ladies and of course HM the Queen.

Well done everyone. You deserve those Gold Gongs.

Dame Shelly.....hope you continue to use your Title on the Threads.

Whats next on our agenda? Any suggestions?

Catch you later. Time to hang up the Kilt and Sporran for another wee while.

Its Me . I have been showing my medals around everyone is amazed at how well I did at my age.If my writing is a bit off. it is because I am having a hot drink of Olveltine and my glasses are all steamed up. also my A on my keyboard is still there .but it has no A on the key itself. good job I
Know where it is Lol

I saw the Queen get her rock from the Chile PM and David Cameron get his it was on TV but they didnt show me getting mine , I wonder why that was ?????

I am getting my brief case sorted for the meeting tomorrow .otherwise I might go without it. I feel really tiddly with all that drink we had to day at the Palace,

How is Jean tonight ? hope your OK love. ?

Rita, I was taken to Weston Supermare as a child, but I can't remember what it was like,and it's bound to have changed after all these years,sorry love i'm not much help.
Are you thinking of having a holiday there sometime soon.
Pass the ovaltine round,I could do with it right now.
Good luck at the meeting tommorrow.

Sorry Rita, I've never been to Weston-Super-Mare, I googled it though and it looks nice.

Are you sure it's Ovaltine you're drinking? Your writing's gone a bit funny.

Mo

I have my Annual General Meeting tomorrow for our reirement homes and flats.The will tell us whether they are putting up the charge for the Ground Rents. it was £127 a month when I came here 7 years ago it is £187 now they do as they like these estates.

My sister and I are trying to find where to go for our holidays next year. we want to go in June or July and thought we would go to Weston Supermare as it is in Somerset where our Mothers Fathers family came from Mells and Frome.we thought we could taker a trip there to see where they lived.and base ourselves in Weston Supermare. so I am trying to find out as much as I can about it.? last year I put a thread out about Weymouth and got a lot of feedback and it was so helpful.

In September next year we are booking a week in Christchurch in Dorset as one of my Granddaughters is getting married and they live in Christchurch so we are booking the Hotel early for this as the hotels are not very big and it is going to be a big wedding. so my holiday will, be two in different places.

Pauline it is Olvatine unless you have sneaked something stronger in it.
I do feel a little hot. but as I put the heating on for an hour maybe it is that.

Well I did spill a little bit of brandy in your cup Rita, thought it would make you sleep better.

I've just googled Christchurch as well, it looks quaint, have you been before?

Has the Dame gone to bed?

I've got some emails, I'm going to have a read of them and then go to bed.

Night everyone.

Night night ladies.

You will probably read this in the morning.

As you know I got caught up in the hoax. Was I awarded anything. I know Shelly is a Dame, gawd bless her.

If I did get anything, did someone pick it up for me. Look forward to your replies in the morning.

Night all.

Tom and Stephen in their cammo gear stealthly approach Maddies house.

A slick and quick pick of the lock and they enter the house.

Using their Night Vision goggles they manage to avoid the furniture and other stuff lying around.

Crikey! I think she likes the wine....loads of empty bottles.

They finally find Maddies room and approach the bed.

Tom gently lifts Maddies head and Stephen slips her MBE under her pillow.

'Is that you Johnnie?' Maddie mumbles in her sleep.

Must be that Depp guy she's dreaming about.

They leave a note for Maddie from HM the Queen on her bedside table.

The door lock is secured as they leave the house.

Then they slip like ghosts away from the house and vanish into the night.

These 'old' guys still remember their training.

Stephen has a hard time explaining to his wife where he has been.....especially as a THONG has got wrapped around his boot.

That could only have come from one place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my, oh my.

I HAD THE STRANGEST DREAM.

I dreamed two wonderful young men had entered my house and left my medal. I know that they must be fit, as it is a four storey house, and my bedroom is on the top floor.

I do hope they didnt fall over all the recycling I had left in the passage to be put out today. A months worth of bottles, and two weeks worth of papers. I did want to sort out the papers that had our endeavours in them, but felt that would be pretentious.

My OH said I was nattering in my sleep last night, something about 'rocking a boat' but I pretended I didnt know what he was talking about.

Big stretch, and .............................. Oh, How Wonderful. Someone has managed to get my MBE to me. I have a suspicion, but no, really. HOW WONDERFUL. THANK YOU.

Strange that the dog didnt bark, these people must be SAS trained to get past her.

Daughter has just got up, says one of her undies are missing, not surprised, it is so small, size 8 [grrrrrrh] maybe someone is using it for an elastic band.

So Good Morning to everyone. Hope we are all well.
Speak to you later, when in from the daily grind. Or as I laughingly call it

ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE.

Speak soon.

AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR MY MBE.
[sits staring at it, with a smile on my face]
