Have planted some more plants and a big pot with petunias.. More seedllings to go in . Then just keep sweeping up all the petals from the Montana clematis and rhodos. Cut the grass about wed hopefully so it is neat but not cropped.

Have a good afternoon all


Linda :o) XXx

Morning Pauline
l know our song was not that good but noway was it the worse one in that contest.
I think Linda was going a way for the bank holiday wasnt she ? l will take alook at the back threads and see.later on.
I hate cold tea the only time l have used tea cold was during the war when we dabbed it onto our legs to make it look like we were wearing stockings you got your friend to draw a line down the back of your leg to made it look like a seam.mind you it wasnt much good when it rained.

Marilyn
you got that cold chasing that guy about in the car park that was why Pete didnt want you sleeping in the bed with him he he. l didnt tell him what you had done honest. what is wrong with the English throat sprays ?
since I got up at 6.30 this morning. I had my shower first then breakfast I have since got my dinner sorted for today and for tomorrow. also changed the bed linen.
I have cleaned the bathroom out so I have been very active.
I shall need a sleep this afternoon.
Rita

Morning all (all the names that Rita has already said)

I'll make the tea Rita, if they don't turn up, we'll make them drink it cold so it won't be wasted.

I didn't watch the song contest, not worth it really, it only makes us realize how hated we are by the rest of countries.

Mo, I think we did used to have a vote on what song was chosen, well, I think we did.

Yvonne, that sounds as if it was really bad. Has there been a lot of damage to your bedrooms? Can you claim on the insurance?

How are you today Marilyn, is the throat any better?

Hello Elizabeth, welcome to the thread.

Shelly have you finished all the photos you need for the wedding album?

Where's Linda today? Liz hasn't been on for a while either, and I don't know if Sue is with us or not.

Don't know if Lady is with us but I've done a coke, just in case.

(_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? [_] {_}?

And a TCP gargle for Marilyn \_/

Morning All,

Rita I agree with you about the Eurovision song contest, it is political that's for sure. They all vote for their neighbours .
But I never saw all of it ,only from when BGT finished, saw never heard UK song.
But I sure did not like the German song it was just a rap song.

I am still feeling a little ruff , but got to slog on ,hoping the day will make me feel better a little later on.....
Taking plenty of meds . but had a better sleep last night, slept in the other room as I kept coughing and Pete said he had a lovely sleep without ME !!!
Do you think he's trying to tell me something ..LOL

Hi to Yvonne ,thanks for the tip ! but I have a throat spray from USA and its brilliant ......it just gives an anesthetic relief to sore throats.

Going for my bath ............

Well I have let off steam . Now l will say morning to all you lovely ladies hope you have a good sunday. the weather is not what I had hoped for today maybe it will improve later on.
I didnt bother making you all tea this morning as I was not sure how many would be here to drink it.?( I dont like waste )

I hope Marilyn is feeing better this morning as she was not well yesterday.
so i will say good morning to
Mo.- Elizabeth-. Linda.-Pauline-, Sue (who comes and goes like the weather. )
Shelly.- Liz. -Yvonne- and our Marilyn.

MORNING

Rita

Morning all

Of course you didnt expect to win or come wihin the top ten . it is so political I have said for years we should not bother to enter. We have to be honest the Europe countrires do not ike us .
They like us , for buying their goods and solving their money problems for all the hand outs they get but sadly not for us as people, It shows in contests like this. not just this year but many years. sad isnt it. we came where did and some of those who beat us had appauling songs.
I am not saying we should have come top but we should not have come at the bottom. I feel sorry for Josh at the moment how must he feel.

Rita

Dear Ladies

Hello

Thank you for the warm welcome.

Yep, we sat throught Eurovision in our house with provisions!

I preferred it when the contestants sang in the languages of the countries they represented.

I can't believe our song came last.

On my list, I picked out the entries from Belgium, Ireland and Norway. No one here picked Germany as the winner.

I remember in 1992, Linda Martin from Ireland sang "Why me" and just beat Michael Ball, by one point and the following year, Niamh Kavangh scored a second win for Ireland with "In your eyes".

These were very classy songs. Since then its been downhill all the way.

Take gentle care all
Very best wishes
xx

Right I am off to my bed,well dissapointed. Germany won,a catchy song but nothing special.
Poor Josh got 10 points,but was last in the competition.
Don't know why we bother to enter,it's so dregrading for anyone we enter.
Did we have a choice years ago,as to what song was entered. ie Sandie Shaw,Cliff Richards, Bucks Fizz etc.
I don't remember us voting for what song we wanted. But since we have done this we have got absolutely no where.
Nite nite all.sleep tight. luv mo xxx

Hello Elizabeth nice to see you appear on this thread.you will get a lot of laugh from it at times they are all sitting on feather dusters.

I dont expect us to win tonight we could have the greatest song in the whole world and the best singer but it is political and thats what wins.
they all vote fo each other.

I am going to have a cup of horlicks now and then go to bed .and read.

Love to all

Rita

Hi again.
Just popped on quickly. Elizabeth if you are looking in,what do you think off the competition this year.
I was so surprised how many off the countries,actually sang in English.
At the moment I like Ireland,and Denmarks songs.
Mind you do you think that Denmarks rendition,have an Abba sound to them.
Off to wait for the results,and wait for poor Josh to get nil points.

evening yvonne

think we will have to barr sue from facebook

Where is everyone?

are you all watching Eurovision!

Pauline those photos were great, think I will have a look at that site

Bedrooms are drying out slowly and I've got a plumber coming Thursday to have a look at the tank. Don't want it to happen again 'specialy when we go on holiday in July

Hello to Elizabeth nice to see you
and hello to Sue, she's been hiding on facebook

just been going through my hot matches

Marilyn, have a gargle with TCP that will get rid of your sore throat

Hi Elizabeth.
I remember when this country were winners,and also Ireland. But I believe the voting is very politcal these days. It's a shame because we have had some goods songs over the years.
I never did like the song ,I believe it was called "flying the flag,all over the world"
29 years ago since Bucks Fizz won. My word how time has flown.

Shelly I will watch Britains got Talent tommorrow.

Oh Hello Elizabethofseasons.

Lovely to see you on Thread,

Just as I was about to go to bed as I'm poorly....Sore throat !!
And I got to be top notch for tomorrow as I have visiters.

Come back again the others will look after you and make you welcome .

Bye for now xxxxxxx...... hot lemon about to be had ..

Dear All

Hello

Hope you are keeping well.

Dear MoinKent.......I am going to watch!

I can't resist the daftness of it all.

When I was little, it was very good, the winning song always stood out.

I thought I had lost my keys yesterday. Panic in the household.
You know how it is, looking in places just in case.

In fact, they turned a couple of hours later in the small pocket of my handbag!

Take care
Very best wishes
xx

O.k so who's going to watch the eurovision song contest,and watch us get nil points again.
I dont know why we bother to enter it.do you.

Rita do you remember the old saying " red hat no dr**s ".
Thermal knickers were what was needed. lol

she should have put her woolie drawers on then and not worn her silk ones.

Rita

Hello Sue
I wondered how you were have you still got your horse.> I was thinking of asking last time you were on and forgot.?
have you been to any of the show jumping comptitions recently.

Mo I did use to think I was the bees knee when I went dancing but I am sure i never danced and watched my feet all the time like they did on top of the pops I saw this afternoon they were nearly bent double.. I saw more knickers than feet they were bent t that far over. Lol.
and Cilla Black was so different of course she s ang "anyone got a heart " dont think she sings anything else.

Meooooo.

Rita
