Morning All...

Stephen.... interesting Yacht that Moosk, I have probably seen it many times as I walked on the Hoe and around all the Marinna's in Plymouth.Mount batten is the place to be when Sailing Races are on and there are many.I don't know if you are aware , but Mount Batten has been opened to the public as the old RAF station has been knocked down sadly many memories of that !!, and it looks fantastic it has grass spots layed out and a new Pub & Hotel , you can get a ferry to the Barbican and even walk on the pier and have a grand view of all yacht races...
My Son took a coarse in sailing with his marine friend ,but never got around to sail very much his babies came along ..LOL

Shelly.....what is the name of the bible that daughters reading ? could it be Gideons ?
or has the Mormons been knocking and left her some reading to do .
Does she want to read my Rhyming Slang book after ...LOL

Well I'm out all day today ,my Daddy's not well so going to pay a visit he went to a hotel over the Christmas in Torquay and felt unwell mind you his wife of 97yrs had to look after him ,so I will get it in both ears !!.

Morning everyone now is the time to do all the things you have made your mind up not to do in the new year.

My day is going to be busy.

Rita

Morning everyone!
Coffee please Stephen.
I've only just got up. I read to the early hours!

Good Morning Everyone.

Got in late from work last night, and am off soon.

Still coughing, but now it is dry. So maybe be shot of it soon.

So sorry about the little colt. Very sad.

Right, a Wally is a pickled gherkin. We had three big jars on top of our chippy counter. Lovely Italian people, who could serve us chips, and flash their eyes at the same time. lol

The jars were arranged so. Picked onions, gherkins, then pickled eggs. Looking back now, it seems a little suggestive. But being kids, we didnt get it. Our chips were dry, but had salt and vinegar [with chillies floating in it] splashed all over them. In Sunderland this year, we walked pash a chippy that served them with gravy, I am sure Pauline will bear this out.

Pie and mash shops. MMMMMM. Hot Pie and Mash with liquor. Hot Eels and Mash, or Jellied Eels. Lovely.

Also Tubby Isaacs for cockles, whelks, eels and other shellfish such as shrimps and prawns.

I dont need for rhyming slang book Marilyn, I can hold my own again anyone. Proper slang, not the nonsense made up for Only Fools and Horses. that was just tosh.

If I dont get back on this tonight,

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.

Much Love to Everyone
Maddie

Morning everyone
Sorry I have been missing, but I caught the cyber-bug that has been doing the rounds so thought I'd stay away to try and kill it off.
Hubby has gone back to work this morning. Miserable 3 days off for him. Went to my brothers onTues but hardly able to eat, horrendous head aches and starting to cough. Wed laying down most of the morning, hubby prepared a meal for his sister and BIL. Not much change in me, ate a tiny dinner. Yesterday more sleeping,rattling from all the pills and sloshing from the cough mixture....................... do any work????? Small meal again. No treats chocolates and cake and biscuits all untouched by me. Must be ill !!!
I didn't go to my parents, they are unwell anyway, think Mumhas some virus, and I definately didn't want to take them this, it might killthem off.
Hope everyone else is getting better.
Jean so sorry to read of the colt, it must be hard loosing one so young, even if he was poorly when born.
No New Years celebrations here tonight as Hubby has to get up again tomorrow at 5:00am, have to keep those planes flying !!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
Hope we will all be healthier.

Hi Maddie,

I thought that you never popped in yesterday......so went back a few threads to check !!
But Hay Ho here you are.glad you are feeling a little better.

Think I'll shred that lovely Book of mine and accuse the author of a being a fake cockney !!

I bet he was born and bred in Tim Buck Two ..LOL

Shelly I loves ya really ....x

Now I have had my bath and now having Coffee although I don't drink It only Tea ..

(_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? Rita Linda & Pat ..I see you are up take a cup .....


EDIT.... LINDA sorry about your adventures over the Christmas its awful feeling like that at this time of the year ...Did you have the flu shot ?

Hi Marilyn
Yes I did get the mixed flu jab, due to underlying asthma.
Glad I did it might have been even worse if I hadn't.
Has Pete been to the DR yet?
Hope he gets things sorted he doesn't need another crisis situation.My father has spent time in hospital in Malta and in Limassol Cyprus and although the treatment was good,never the same as at home and Mum was really left alone to cope too. He was probably unaware of how she managed.

Take care everyone and have a good day.

Hope you feel much better soon Maddie

Linda :o) XxX

I am back on. as you are all awake..
so many of us have this blessed flu virus. it take a lot to get over it.. it is over three weeks since I caught it. I wish now I had had the flu and swine flu jab, I told my doctor that when he called to see me. he said dont worry about it you have enough problems.
.
I am going to my sons for dinner tomorrow he is calling for me in the morning so I shall see the grandchildren and my sons mother in law. who will also be there.

I want to wish you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR.for 2011. I hope you all have a healthy one that is top of my list for you all.



Rita

Bruce Forsyth & I have something in common. Nither of us appeared on the New Year Honours list.

"Blessed are we who have no expectations, for we shall not be disappointed".

Hello everyone and thank you for your very kind words about my little colt.
sorry it has taken me so long to answer.

Hope you all have a Very Happy, Healthy and Peaceful 2011, and thank you for making me feel so welcome on this thread.

I do hope all of you with this awful Flu bug will soon be feeling much better.

Enjoy your celebrations tonight if you are partying.
and anyone going away enjoy your break.
Take care and stay safe.
Jean xx

Good afternoon everyone, as I will be out tonight, I would like to say.
*******************************************************************************
A HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR, TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU.
*******************************************************************************
Enjoy your evening wether you be in or out celebrating.
Love and best wishes everyone. Mo xxx

dermot i think marilyn has more in common with Bruce Forsyth
than you
some were alomg the line she is related to him we just have not fant out were yet but some mistry person nowa all
long story thow

I thought MARILYN said she had not found a connnection with Brucie baby ?
and here I have been waiting for new of it all.

Marliyn did Pete see the doctor about his operatiton ?or will he have to wait till the New year. ?to find things out. ?

Dermot I dont go much on the people they chose for the New years Honours lists the people who deserve it dont get a look in. its a case of
the old boys club.



Rita

Hi I'm back....

Rita, no nothing was ever found on Brucie , but I still think something will turn up why would someone go to all that trouble to post that note ???

Maybe the New Year will bring some News ....Not That I'm desperate...LOL

I for got to tell you all about Pete's News .....

Well he is waiting to see the Consultant at Plymouth Hospital for an Opp ,but the GP said yesterday that he saw no reason why he couldn't go on holiday to Cyprus next week as it probably wont happen again for a while ...so we are still going,and it looks like an 18week wait for this removal of stones operation on NHS, Pete has inquired at the Private Hospital for waiting time, and they said anytime you wish to have it after 29th Jan so it was a matter of cant do it anyway , so might as well go on Holiday !!
We have plenty of Antibiotics as that was what they gave him last week anyway .and the pain subsided .....so I now its a gamble but Pete feels that the doctor seems to say OK its alright.
My Dad picked up a bug in the hotel and poor man had the runs....but he's back to normal now...thank God.

I am having a lazy evening tonight just sitting watching the TV and maybe sneaking a few nuts along the way ..LOL

Glad you're having a quiet time Marilyn after your entertaining. I'm listening to a Blondie CD now. I don't know what's on TV.
Presmuably as long as Pete doesn't go overboard and eat stupid. Something to look forward to!
When I go back to work it's the Tax return rush! I work for a firm of Accountants and all tax returns have got to be done by the end of January. Accounts form part of tthe tax return and that's my job!

Hi all.

Is Stephen the only one going out tonight? New Years Eve isn't what it used to be, or maybe it's just because I'm getting old - it might still be a party night for young people.

We'll just be having a quiet night, apart from when my niece and her partner pops round to see us.

Marilyn, I'm sure everything will be OK for Pete while you're away, just make sure he's careful what he eats. Did your dad complain about picking up a tummy bug in the hotel?

We had Brent to the hospital this morning for a pre-surgery assessment. He goes in next Thursday for dental work. Spent the afternoon at my friend's house and forgot that I had bedding to wash, got the washer on now.

Rita, I still haven't received those photos yet, probably take a while for the post to get back to normal.
