Catherine hope you have a good journey,The first time I went to France I felt sick I wasnt. but nearly all my scouts were . one of the stablizers on the Ferry had broken and it was a bit naughty.the captain said he was sorry. but it didnt help my scouts.

Rita

Hi all...again !

Rita ...Shelly popped in just before your last posting ...

I hope our Pauline hasn't got the dreaded flu, there is so much of it about.
Shelly do you think your son has the flu ? or is he just having a well deserved lie in .?
I'm sure that Rita has spread it around this year ....dont send it down to Devon Rita now that you have finished with it ..LOL

The phone has not stopped ring here this morning....its like the old telephone
exchange.

Where's our Linda ....she usually popped in by now.

Rita,

I had some mail today ......

I'm all Male !

I had some post today. A Waterstones gift card from my nephew!
On Film4 is my favourite film. This Happy Breed.It was made in 1944.It 's about afamily between the 1918 and 1939. it's on 12.45pm. I've seen it so many times. I know most of the words!
Just going to get an early lunch.

Afternoon everyone

Phew took ages to go through the posts I had missed

We had a quiet Christmas Day, we went out for a meal, it was very nice and I was stuffed ( pardon the expression) OH took his dad home that afternoon cos he doesn't like to stay out for long. We went to Kent yesterday to see my brother and sisters

All the snow has gonr now but it's very foggy and damp

Jean lovely to hear about your foals, sad about the colt, hope he pulls through. Do you breed them to sell on? Are they thoroughbreds?

Stephen your jokes were very good lol
Marilyn I got the photos, ther're lovely, I lked the one with your children, the big hair-do was fantastic. When I was a kid one of my cousins who was a lot older then me had hair like that, this was in the 60's

x

I was a little worried there Marilyn when you said you got some mail ? I misread it. to we I got some male.

Pat I recall that film as well and This Happy Breed.
I hope Jeans colt is OK I keep thinking of him poor litle fellow.

we have still not seen a postman. in the old days .they use to knock for their christmas box as did the Paper Boy and the Dustmen
The old walk about Policeman use to come in and sit and have a drink ot a cup of tea. at Christmas.. he use to call in on his way though our road every day and knock to make sure Gran was alright.
Yvvone I wondered where you had got too. ? now I know.
Marilyn your hair style reminded me of the beehive ones

It has been raining here all day today. I sat and made four birthday cards up for some friends. they ike the home made ones.
I di hope Pauline is alright ?
I dont circulate my germs I dig a hole and bury them.


Rita

Hello folks.
Didn't Linda say she was going away for a couple of days with her OH, to visit family. Oooh I must go back on the thread and check in a minute.
But Pauline is still absent, I do hope everything is o.k in her house.

Yvonne, you chose the best time to come to come down to Kent. This morning the rain had cleared nearly all the snow away. But we have still got a pile on the drive, where we cleared a path for us to get the car in and out.

Rita we have still not had any mail either. I know Roly is expecting some birthday cards to arrive,and also we have not received two cards, that I know were sent in plenty of time from OZ.
Don't forget it was our Shelly who started the flu germs originally, so don't fret yourself love.

Jean, I do hope that the little colt will be o.k. It's had such a bad start to life hasn't it.

Just going to go and check about Linda.

Linda was saying yesterday,that they were supposed to be going to West London today, depending on how the family were health wise. Her OH is of work for three days as well.
Thank goodness, I thought I was going completely doo lally, and imagining things.

I wonder how poor Maddie is getting on back at work today. I still think she should have taken the rest of the week of sick, as she was not at all well over the xmas period.

Hi Mo
I was just going to log off and rechecked to see if Pauline had appeared. ?
Our snow had vanished we have had rain and it has been warmer today. well we still have little. two little piles on the car park.but that was because a car had parked over it.
It is getting misty outside. . I have just eaten about 6 little cherry brandy liqures I didnt mean too. my new year promise to myself is to watch what I eat/ and lose some weight. still. I have a few days to go before that starts.

Perhaps the postman will come tomorrow ? Out Chemist has been closed since Christmas Eve no idea why. ?unless they are all down with the flu bug. ?

I thinik I will make myself a cup of tea . I had one this morning at 10 and not drank since then.
I am losing more and more letters off this keyboard I will have to take a trip into town and buy a new keyboard.

Rita

Our Chemists was open today Rita, so I suppose thats a start to getting back to normality.
You naughty thing, fancy not having had a drink from 10 this morning.You will dehydrate yourself if your not careful. (Mo slaps Rita's wrist for her)

Got to go start to prepare dinner now, Roast Lamb, roast spuds, sprouts,carrots, peas and mint sauce, yummy. See ya tonight.

Hi Everyone,

Been out FOOD shopping, just about saw everyone that I had not seen over the Christmas and stood yapping for next Christmas ..LOL

Now I'm all behind with getting a descent dinner cooked for us, thought I'd do Chicken & Leek casserole.
I have already put a stew on for tomorrow in the slow cooker , as I have visitors coming for afternoon tea.....they CANT have my stew though ..LOL they might be able to smell it though !! ......I have got little pizza pies & mince Pies with Devon cream for them ....

Pete goes to see his GP tomorrow to see about a Gall bladder Op, and to see if he's allowed to travel as we are booked to go to Cyprus.next week. Gosh my friends will be devastated if we cant go .....oh well we will have to wait and see.

Jean I hope the little colt will survive too.... you will have to call her something that suits a poorly colt ......Lady Survivor !!

Rita , I really did have a massive Beehive at one time and thought I looked the Bizzo
I can remember that we bought Lacquer in those plastic bottles that made hair stick together for weeks !!! and a bugger to get out, my mother did buy me something that did wash it out ,but for the life of me I cant remember. what it was, some sort of shampoo....

Yvonne glad you had a great time at Christmas.......

Stephen you have gone very quiet , is the Mrs making a slave of you today ??

EDIT...

Hi Shelly, I wonder if Marilyn has got her phone number, if she has perhaps she could give her a ring, to make sure everything is well at her end.

You told the youngest not to lie in that long grass didn't you, no wonder he's got a stinking cold. Ahhhh bless him.
