Hi Mo,

Yes I have read about Bruce in the mail today, just wondering who that Elizabeth was on that piece of paper ........not his first wife......she was Penny Calvert, Hmmm just wondering if its his sister I'll have to wait and see the WDYTYA.

It made me laugh ,Bruce said he was a bit upset about his Grandfather being a ladies man and divorcing his first two wives. !!

Bruce had a lovely record of also divorcing his two wives then having an affair with another Miss World Ann Sidney. then Pop star Cathy Kirby...... Well why was he really upset about his grandfather ?? LOL

Still dont know WHY that piece of paper was put in my dads door !

Afternoon everyone.
Jean, just you take it easy,and sit and watch the t.v or read a book, or you could do some knitting for me if you like.
The bedding can wait for another day, I am sure it's not that dirty.
But you are probably like me,a creature of habit,and like to do the bed every week.
I always think of the dead skin laying in my sheets yuk nasty.
And why shouldn't you scream why me, I certainly would do. Life is not fair at times,when you think of all the nasty people out there,who get nothing wrong with them,and yet the good seem to suffer. I'm sorry perhaps I should not say that, but thats how I feel at times.
We are all behind you love, keep strong.

Liz your load never seems to get any easier does it. They all appear to be self centered,even the future D.I.L. Just make sure it doesn't cost you anything when the NY son arrives.
Have they invited your son to the wedding. If they have I bet he is not much interested in going. But somehow I get the feeling they would not have invited him. The mean beggars. At least you would have had his company,had he had been there.

My goodness Linda, I bet a night in for the two of you is a luxury. Whats it like to be popular eh. I am giving up on the knitting front for a while. The baby has got six cardigans so far.
They asked at the twelve week scan, wether they could tell yet what the sex is. They were told it looks like a girl, but who knows, it seems a bit to early to me to be able to see what sex it is.
So I have done three boys and three girls cardigans, just to be on the safe side.

Marilyn, I read in todays paper, that Bruce Forsyth,discovered his fathers
grave,and has erected a head stone for him.
Apparantly his father Joseph Forsyth Jonson, had two families either side of the atlantic. He had a career as a landscape gardener,and died in Brooklyn New York, with just £250.00 to his name. Mmmmm interesting eh.
It was in the Daily Mirror if thats any help.
Right Shelly get your thinking cap on again, Marilyn might need you.

I see Sue's missing again.

Jean ..Thanks for the coffee & Biccey's

Pop into Shelly's house, you will be well occupied ....I promise LOL

Now just sit and read a lovely book and relax ....pity Liz hasn't added a few more Chapters to her book !!

You can find my missing James Albert Mack b 1867 Shoreditch if you like ?
he's in a recluse or he is a conman....... not even registered in UK.
that's the tree I want to chop down ...LOL

Pete's out cutting the grass before it rains . going to make him a coffee to keep him going.....with whip in hand ..

Morning ladies, hope you are all ok.
I got up with such good intentions this morning, strip my bed and wash bedding, put out to dry. but have had to rethink, it is very damp and dull here, so bedding will have to go in dryer.
My plans for the garden have also had to be put on hold so am trying to think of something to keep me occupied.
Any suggestions please???

(_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)?
\_/? \_/? \_/? \_/? \_/? \_/? tea or coffee anyone
############## biscuits.
help yourselves.

Have a good weekend.
Jean xx

Thanks Marilyn

Off out in the garden in a minute

Linda :o) XxX

Morning All,

LIZ,
That Gravy Train that passes your door has to go on strike !!!

You can see realistically the marriage........ unfortunately is doomed before it starts, then you will be able to tell OH ,..........* I told you so *.

Think I would book a well deserved holiday from OH bank (FOR YOU )
It looks like you are holding this lot together and you falling apart !!
That cant be right Liz,........ anyway Its a good book , cant wait for the next chapter ...LOL

Its going to be sunny today ,I got the kids sleeping over as my son & wife are going to a Summer Ball at the golf club.

Hi Linda......Where's the tea ?????

Here it is (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? {_}? ...............just a few buns left. @@@@@

Morning Everyone
Liz I think all of your OH's family are in for some difficult times. They will also end up blaming each other when things don't work in the way they want. I do hope their special day isn't spoiled by the lead up to it. Such a shame that the expected baby will be coming into such a difficult situation. I am all for marriage but think they might have been better to wait until the baby is born and they have lived together as a small family unit before taking this big step too. I really do wish them well and hope it does work out for them all, but I do think they would have been better keeping some of the details to themselves and private.
I hope your counselling session on Monday is beneficial and you can get more things sorted Liz. I wish you could get back to your own home as I think you would be better there where you wouldn't have to worry so much about OH and all his family too.

Marilyn and Shelly hope you sort this tree out soon. I will try to work on mine in the mornings this weekend, but I have other paper work that needs attention so have to balance it out as once I start research I can't let go.

Mo I haven't finished this cardigan yet Too much entertaining. Out tonight again to eldests for a family get together Hope it is dry and not as windy as last night.
Sue are you checking in?
Yvonne and Rita are both away.
Have I missed anyone if so sorry?

Have a good weekend everyone

Linda :o) XxX

Well saga of the wedding continued.... hope you can follow all this....

a couple of Mondays ago, when o.h. was on late shift, the fiancee in England called to talk with him. i said I would contact him at work and get him to call, asked her what was happening and she said she was so fed up of all the dithering about whether son or son and wife were being paid for to come over, that she was going to sort it once and for all. O.h. had spoken to his son in NY on the Friday and asked what he thought about just coming alone and he seemed to take that on board but when o.h called back to see what son had decided he said he was out on his f.i.l's boat for independence weekend visit and just wanted to chill, didn't want to discuss it then and would tell his dad during the week what the decision was. O.h. wasn't very happy when future d.i.l. took over but left it with her. Next thing was, the fiance had booked one flight from NY for son to come on 24th Aug and go back on 30th Aug which happens to be Grandfather's bday but she probably didn't think of that or that it was going to be family day as usual. O.h. got an email asking for over £300 as half share, when he thought it was going to be divided by three and son paying some, as he had asked his bro to be best man and had said he wouldn't bother with one if his bro didn't come over. O.h. wasn't very happy about that amount but paid up and said that was it, no spending money for son in NY - who has apparently just taken a job a shelf filler in a supermarket at nights - and he would leave everything up to the couple to sort out. Then he got a call from the son in NY saying his wife isn't happy cos she doesn't think people here care about her or want to meet her because they haven't coughed up another £600+ for her fare. Seems they had already been arguing about their money problems before all the wedding stuff as the son hadn't been able to get work and things have been difficult. Now she is sulking because she can't come over and he has to take time off work to come. O.h. started shouting and saying if the marriage in NY breaks up over this he will blame future d.i.l. and won't speak to her again! He then speaks to his ex and finds out that when the son in England proposed in early Feb after he had been away working for 6 weeks and realised how much the girl meant to him, she immediately pushed him to start trying for a baby - I still think this has something to do with the fact her friend had got pregnant with her second child, with a very new boyfriend! To their surprise, altho I had warned her it happened like that with me and my son's dad, she got pregnant almost straight away and it was then she decided they must get married before the baby arrived in November. Because they told us they were getting married soon and then told us the wedding date and waited till the 12 week scan to tell everyone they were pregnant, we didn't realise the order of things. Seems the son has been rather railroaded into things all in a rush despite him having previously had a 5 year plan for their future which the girl mentioned over Christmas. No wonder she told me he said recently he wasn't sure about trying for a baby but is now excited! I am seeing her in a different light now and not sure things will work out well in the end as he is not going to take kindly to being out of the limelight when the baby is here!

I am relieved with son only coming - hope things stay that way and no one suddenly sends the wife money to visit too

Hi all, what a lot to catch up on.

Firstly, must send big hugs and postive thoughts to our Jean and hope the radiotherapy does the trick and isn't too horrible to bear. You will be tired going back and forth for the treatment, do you have anyone to take you or go with you? Will be thinking about you.

Missed Rita gadding off on holiday again, I do hope the weather stays fine as possible for her and the rain only happens overnight so she can get out and about.

Love to you all and apologies if I owe replies to you.

I haven't been doing much lately, so weary all the while with various problems weighing heavy and o.h. has all his shifts altered due to holidays of his colleagues so he has to cover their time off, nothing booked for us yet, as all he has concentrated on is this blasted wedding etc even when I have tried to suggest holiday venues, he hasn't renewed his passport either but has said he isn't happy abot flying anywhere! Trouble is, if we go anywhere in England he isn't keen to eat out so much and I end up cooking every evening same as at home, and stuck with him for company, whereas last year at least there were others we got to know in the bar and complex as it was small and it was friendly. We ate out most evenings and we were more sure of good weather, even tho the days weren't very long. I so wanted to go away during June with the longer days, but it was all about his sons and nothing else entered his head, I should have tried a mallet shouldn't I and knocked the info in!

He is really stressed about doing the course next week as his memory isn't good and he doesn't mix well with new people so will be nervous. Means he will be home every day around 5.15pm and I will have to cook altho not a big meal, he said, as he is getting a cooked lunch there apparently. Never mind that I will need proper meals at that time! Selfish git!

Oh well not long till things settle down again I hope and maybe I can persuade him to take me away somewhere we can eat out most days so it' s more of a holiday for me as well.

Had to miss my counselling last week, it had been a tiring week with the heat and then the weekend was stressful with fitting in the funeral/interment before my lad's birthday meeting so I was too tired to drive there on Monday and called to cancel. I feel ready for it this week tho so no harm done by missing one session.
