Dear Ladies

Hello

Just popped by head round the door to say
hope you are all keeping well and doing okay.

I am not too fond of this humidity but the sunshine is lovely.

Remember that we all thought about the terrible cold and snow!

Take gentle care
Very best wishes

Oh my goodness Linda. How frightening that would have been for little ones mum, if she had been on her own, and not had you there to advise her what to do.
Lets face it panic sets in,and brains go out the window in circumstances
like that.
Well done to you all for getting it sorted. I bet the mum will make sure she keeps the keys in her hand from now on.

Gosh Linda that must have been a worry the child locked in the car they use to have adverts about tha once on TV. I would have had a heart attack if that had been me worrying incase a fire broke out. I would have called the police then the firebrigade they rescure people they might have known what to do.? still good job she got it sorted. and the babe was strapped.in.

so you had a right old day then

Rita

Hi jean

I brought a box of 9 midium eggs yesterday Free Range I only buy free range and they cost me £1 34
I have lots of my old bills about here somewhere I was looking for my coal bill but have not found it I know it is here somewhere.?
I have a bill for
Powdered egg cost 6d I also have a bill for an egg poacher 2 s from Woolworths.
an L p record cost me £1.19.7d
I brought that for my husbands birthday.I think it was Gene Crouper a drummer. he collected his records. his only luxvury.

how times have changed have you notice how when the hot weather is here all the salad stuff goes up an goes down during the winter
Looking at my shopping bills I find that happens a lot. still we have to eat.
It is rather hot here at the moment. that was because I put my cool fan away.
Like you Shelly I am not too keen on some of the unknown brands I have tried them from time to time and found them not so good I tend to stick by Heniz and Crossand Blackwell cheap is not always good but if you cannot afford to buy the named brand then you have to settle for what you can afford. some of the unknown brands I have found are OK.
It is like cornflakes I buy Kelloges if I buy the cheaper brands they are not so good. yet people tell me that some of the well known manufacters sell to these unknown brands. .

Hi Ladies
Well just had the most traumatic half hour or so !!
Little M was going home, she clicks the car keys when she has them, so Mum took them away and put them safely on the front seat. Strapped her in her car seat and gave her some toys and books in the back. Closed her door .................... realised the car was locked !!!
No spare key, car orhouse. Dad is in Singapore with the spare.
Phoned the police, they can do nothing, unbelievable. Have to phone your own breakdown company. She phoned RAC, they aren't her insurers. So then got the AA. Yes she is with them. They will send somebody asap. We did try a local garage, but they advised waiting, if nobody came quickly get back to them.

We put a blanket over the back to stop some of the sun.

They came in less than half an hour, efficient. Then got a hook in the front to open the handle............... but it was dead locked or double locked. Luckily they have winders on the back windows. After a lot of bulging the door frame he was able to hook the window winder and after several goes drop it enough to get the hooked wire onto the keys on the front seat.
Our hero.
Little was hot and damp but OK not crying or upset and the nice man gave her a book and CD.
We cooled her down with a damp towel and offered plenty to drink.

They have gone home now and I am promised a spare key for the car and their house.

I need a cold drink now, too.

Have a peaceful evening all of you.

Linda :o) XxX

Afternoon ladies, quite warm here now, but no sun, just a few clouds.

Marilyn I hope you enjoy your weekend, have a rest and relax a little.

Rita, I agree with you, would be nice to still shop at the old prices, your list shows how much the cost of living has risen. I bought a dozen medium eggs yesterday, £1. 46p and New Zealand butter 500g, £1.25p

Pauline, I dont have to inject yet for my diabetes, I take Metformin slow release tablets, 1 at night and Gliclazide 1 each morning my GP says injections will be the next stage, not looking forward to that.

Hope you all have a nice evening.
Jean xx

Good afternoon everyone.
I cant believe it, I have been locked out of this site three times. The whole laptop froze on me. I have rebooted it so keep your fingers crossed for me.

Have a nice weekend Marilyn, and good luck with your scan. We will all have our fingers and toes crossed for you.

As you can see Jean, our Linda is a little workaholic. She rushes round like a Blue Ar*ed fly,while the rest of us get giddy. She makes us all feel guilty,
with all this washing and ironing, and looking after a little one during the day.
I hope you have had a good day.

Shelly if you want the sunshine,come and get it from here. Whew it's been flippin hot. I have been sweating my socks off.
What I want to know is, how can you be bored with your lot.
When exactly do the kids break up from school. It's amazing when your kids leave home you lose track of when the young ones are on holiday from school.
Just think mate six whole weeks of them being under your feet. You wont get bored then, you might get a sore throat though from all the shouting at them. LOL

Well Pauline how wrong could I haveben about the results of the footie.
I honestly thought that Germany would win. They have so many young players,who run round that field like little whipper snappers. And really sexy BTM's whoaa.
How is your brother in law today. Has he recovered yet. It must have been a shock to him and the family. He must learn to take care of himself now.

Hello Rita. Why don't you try the sleeping tablet tonight,just having them once in a while wont hurt you love.
I hope the doctor can put your mind completely at rest when you see him.
Having no sleep and all the worry,is not helping your nerves,and is making you feel run down.
I will put a bucket full of oooomph down the cyber hatch for you.
((((((((((((BIG HUGS FOR YOU)))))))))))))

Where has that Sue got to again. She's like the Scarlet Pimpernel,we seek het here, we seek her there,we seek that Sueee everywhere.

I might not be back this afternoon I am so tired I need to have a sleep. I had trouble again last night sleeping I should have taken the tablets the GP gave me but didnt.
so I am paying for it now.

I had a call from my own GP this lunch time he said he wants to see me tomorrow and I was not to worry about things he has sorted it all .I can see him in future not worry about the hospital where I have had all this trouble., they were worried about me so he wants to talk to me.
I feel as if I am having a breakdown my nerves have really got to me so I am sure I will feel better after seeing my own GP.This is not like me at all.

I hope Marilyn get on alright she must be worried I know I get that way when I have to have a scan it is not the scan it is waiting for the results that is the problem.

Rita

yep me head ache is gone

im sitting here board

Shelly has your headache gone now? Were the kids extra noisy yesterday?

Mo, I thought it would be Holland v Germany as well, mind you, I don't know anything about football. I remember a few times thinking that Holland would win in previous years, but they never do, maybe this time will be different.

I've probably just put the kiss of death on Holland!!

Jean, do you have to take injections for you diabetes? Yesterday I googled diabetic hypo and watched some videos where police beat up drivers (who were having hypos) because they thought they were drunk, one man was beaten into a coma. It was frightening to watch.

Rita did those firemen not do a strip for you? I paid them to strip off their uniforms, not just sit in the cab watching you.

Linda if you fall asleep in front of the telly - it's because you need the sleep, well, that's what I always tell myself.

Marilyn, good luck for this afternoon, hope everything's OK.
It's forecast for good weather so you should have a good holiday...........make the most of it because you'll be back on babysitting duty when you get back.

Elizabeth I watched a little bit of the match...........about the last 10 minutes.

Hi Mo, yes I enjoyed my supper, shepherds pie followed by some strawberries, you would have been very welcome to share it. I like your idea of pills instead of eating specially the no washing up.

Sweet dreams.
Jean xx

Shelly would you like some pain killers for that head ache. I will send them down the cyber hatch for you.
I hope you feel better after a good nights sleep. Have you got work in the morning.

Jean I know what you mean about the cost of living going up. If only they could prescribe us pills instead of eating,it would be a darn sight cheaper.
And just think no washing up to be done as well.
I hope you enjoyed your supper. What did you have by the way, we might have wanted to share with you.
I think I will have a nice cup of tea and some biscuits. We had home made curry for dinner tonight,and I am feeling peckish now.
