FOR SHELLY......?

Lady we are searching for Shelly,have you seen her on your way to work at all.
She wasn't in with the cows this morning was she. No off course she wasn't I am the only daft cow round here.
I looked in my shed,and in my rubbish bin,she aint in there.
Oh my god what we gonna do. lol

I'm still about, just not posted, as I had nothing to say

Right, it's official, Shelly's on the missing list!!

I've looked in the rockery Mo, but she's not there.

Has everyone else had a look for her?

Just sent SHELLY a PM,

Its not like her to be away for SOOOOOOOOO....LONG !!

I hope everyone in her family are OK.....I cant believe she has not popped in,its not like her

well your barn look lovely I quiet envy you that I dont blame you for wanting to stay there. I do miss my Bunglow in Norfolk

Shelly has gone on holiday she won the Lottery and did not tell any one but I bet we get a post card
I wonder what has happened to Sue she popped in and popped out again. I wondered how her horse was. ?
Lady seem to have gone missing as well. do you think we have frightened them all off.?
we had black clouds over head not nice.
think I have eaten too much today and I have pains in my back. right behind my shoulder blades as well.
guess what has happened my R A Hospital appointment has been altered once again this is the third time I have received a letter altering the date and time. he is the doctor I had a row with I think he is doing it on purpose.it isn't urgent l think he just likes to see me. Lol

Rita

Sending out an S.O.S, where has SHELLYYYYYYYYYY got to.
Marilyn are you sure she is not hiding in your barn somewhere.
Pauline is she hiding behind your rockery.
Rita get down to the laundry room,make sure she's not hiding in the tumble dryer.
Linda,did you spot her at the concert last night.
Perhaps she's gone down to visit Sue. They are both missing soooo
maybe they are out on the razzle. LOL

Hi I'm back....

Been Shopping then,visited my sister and had a laugh about the Step Mother saga...... LOL

When I asked SM why she did not have any children she said I did not have time for them ..!!!!!!!!.....and that is true as I once asked her cousin the very same question. She had a very good life style plenty of Dosh..LOL that has now made her miserable, she will not get Taxis anywhere dont believe in paying when she got us ..WE are her Taxis.

Forget her now ....Got all my washing done and Ironing,

Rita we had my Barn as a holiday home way before Pete retired 18 years ago.
So when we left London we came and lived here hoping to get another property, but liked the silence and wild life & country. So we stayed.
It was renovated by a local builder but we have added lots to it.

Going to find Shelly...........Sending out Signals..>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

WHERE ARE YOU SHELLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Mo, you came on while I was typing.

Hi all, looks like it's been quiet on here.

Linda, looks like you've had a busy day again. Can't wait to see photos of the bride, and don't forget we want to see your 'mother of the bride' outfit. Is it next Saturday?

I've just had a look down the page and Shelly wasn't here yesterday, she must be really busy. Shelly, you can't still be cleaning, you steamed everything the other day.

Mo, I forgot about daisies, my hubby likes to kill those as well. We have loads of dead patches in our lawns where the weeds were. I think it would look better with the weeds than the dead patches - he means well though!!

Marilyn can you just keep me a few garlic king prawns and a bit of bread & butter pudding with cream please. I won't take up any room, you can just shove it through the cyber hatch.

Rita, your nephew will be pleased to see your DVDs from the old reels you had. It'll be nice for him to see his brother with the rest of the family.

Linda, I am still here lol.
I hope the tortoise settles o.k with the rabbits. This sounds like a tale from Beatrix Potter doesn't it,or the hare and the tortoise,if you change the rabbits for a hare that is.
I know what you mean about the time passing so quickly for the wedding.
At first it seems like you have got ages to do all he planning,and then it is on top off you. I was just relieved when it was all over. Don't worry there is light at the end off the tunnel,and afterwards you will think why did I worry so much.

I bet it was lovely to view all those DVD's Rita. It must have bought back so many happy memories for you,seeing your children as youngsters.
And probably sad ones seeing your husband.
Do you think your sister would like to see Peter on the DVD,or would it be to upsetting for her,or is she not accompanying your nephew.
Oh dear I don't know if I have read your post correctly now. If I haven't please forgive me. I have got my stupid head on today.

well that good you have the tortoise sorted out it is nice to get someone to look after them,as they can get up to a lot of tricks not so slow at gettng about as some people think.
I hope the wedding goes off well for you Linda nice weather makes all the difference. everyone smiles.

I thought Marilyn pictures where lovely too have you lived there long Marilyn. ?
I am going to sort out what I am going to have for tea tonight. I want to watch the weakest Link and Head Eggs l do love quizzes.
The sun is still shinning here it is really lovely.

Rita

Sorry I'm late today
Blaming it on a late night not home til midnight as we went to a concert of a copy group? They were playing the music of Pink Floyd. They were very good. But it was at Chesham and nearly an hours drive home.
Hubby at work now.
Spent most of the morning clearing the garden. Tortoise problem solved temporarily............... friends came for coffee this morning and have 2 rabbitts in a secure garden and they have a run too. He has gone home with them to see how they get on. If all is OK they he will come back after the wedding and our break in Yorkshire.
So I have been planting seedlings all afternoon and now have the sprinkler on to water them in. Supposed to rain tomorrow too. Will try to get some more in after I have rested my back.
Hope Step mum is OK now Marilyn.......................... your dinner sounds lovely. Thanks for the photos. I love your home.
Will try to do some of my garden soon and forward them to you all. Of course you will all get to see the bride too. It's only a week away now. Where did 2 years go?
Rita you are so busy I hope you take some rest too.
Pauline still keep thinking of June and hope she has some effective relief now.
Where is Mo? haven't seen her for a while.
Shelly will either be quieter next week or manic as it is the school hols.
Anybody going anywhere?
Hope you are OK if you look in Lady.
Sue is missing again.

Bye for now going for a glass of WATER

Linda :o) XxX

Hi Marilyn
That dinner sound really lovely I am sure they will enjoy that I know I would. l hope the weather stay fine for them.
my nephew comes over from Washington next week he and his mother are flying to Italy to his brother(my sister son's ) grave it will be 30 years next week when Peter died it is such a sad occasion for them and for us.
The children were all born in New York my sister lived out there for about 11 years she had lived in New jersey before that and in Italy for two years so she got a about.
I told you I had found 16 reels of movie film in and old box belonging to my husband they were taken in 1970 - 1976 I got them put onto a DVD I had no idea what was on them. but there are a lot of my children when we were on holiday and staying at Mum and Dads (in law ) in Cornwall amoung the last ones I had done. Is some of Peter who died his father and brother and sister and my sister. it brought a lump to my throat.

It appears you dont get on too well with MIL I dont think I would either if she was mine, I do hate it when people have so much yet moan all the time and expect others to run about after them just for the sake of it. she is lucky to have someone to do so much for her.

Rita

Morning All.

Rita its you and I .......this morning.
Wonder where everyone is ?

Yes I have one of those moaning step mothers and its getting to me now, she has no money worries......got all her health, bar her sight that she thinks has got worse, but reading all the eye test etc etc its the same as last year !!

Now she has a gardener, hair dresser, and a chiropodist and some meals delivered from a company, all calling on her. every week......and US her stepchildren to take them wherever and whatever appointment that is needed........and she still moans..Ughhhhhh fed up now as you don't get too much gratitude back.

Anyway I could go on ,but I wont .

I have my washing on Rita as well, then after I got some dark colours to do.
Its lovely and sunny again, the forecast said rain but I haven't seen any yet !!

Got some American friends coming on Sunday for tea, yesterday I bought some Gammon and I'm going to do that in honey & redcurrant syrup .
with new potatoes & bacon bits mixed on a bed of Rocket !

Starters Homus & crusty bread and Garlic King prawns.
Pudding Lemon Cheesecake & Bread & Butter pudding with Devon Clotted Cream.
So I'm afraid there is no room for anyone else ......Sorry LOL

Morning all it is a nice day I have put some washing out mon the line. l hope the sun stays so it drys only a couple of skirts and two tops. I just felt very enagetic this morning for some reason when I woke.

Marilyn O dear what can I say is your step mother like that ? one of these that need a lot fo attention ? my first mother in Law was like that I say first she was my husband mother she had 8 children in all.
My Step mother in Law was so different all together Kind helpful always offering to give you a hand.
The only thing with her was we went shopping she would stand and stare at the scales to make sure I got the exact amount of whatever I was buying. I didn have much money so we were careful the most embarassing thing she ever did was when I was in the shop and buying 1 lb of sausages it came to just over the lb he said it is just over. she said well cut the sausage in half I was speechless as the young guy did just that.( this is true. ) when we got out-side I told her off and said she was not coming shopping with me unless she let me handle my own shopping.
I have to say it she was a true Scot her words not mine she never interferred again like that my husband thought it was funny.
But I did love her she really was a lovely person.

.Well all you other ladies if your away for the bank holiday or staying at home have a lovely weekend incase I dont get back to saying it.

Rita
x

Well,
Step Mother was OK...... eyes not as bad as she thought had loads of tests,

So now we know where we stand ..LOL

Hi Mo....you were typing while I was ...

If ever she tells me that she cant see, I'll throttle her. she can always see her MONEY ....LOL
And all the receipts when she goes shopping, and if anyone short changes her ..LOOK OUT !!

I think she wanted a day out in my car, but you cannot waste Doctors time can you ? or a day away from my Dad ..LOL

I'm knackerd now as I had to do all my shopping late at 5pm and the shops were full of school darlings !!

But here I am ,think I'll have a soak in the bath again....to relax.

Hi girls,I will try again to post. I tried earlier and it flippin vanished again.

Marilyn, thanks for the pics. You can see the little greenhouse you bought,in one off the pics. I can see it's come in very useful for you. The garden looks lovely. I am very envious off you and Pauline.
How did you get on at the hospital with step mum. I hope it went well.
Well done on the weight loss. You can really see the difference.

Pauline we have lots off snails as well. Don't you just hate it,when you go to hang the washing out,and all of a sudden you can feel this scruunncchh
and youv'e trodden on one them. yuk.
I am normally very lucky with pinks,it might be because I usually put them in compost in my pots.
Like your OH,Roly can only recognise dandylions ,buttercups and daisies.
He only knows what a rose is as well,because he gets pricked by their thorns.

So you have a vacancy for another little one then Linda. Will you wait till after your holiday to advertise.
I could not understand why little K's mum,would have put her through the heartache that she did. By her staying and waiting for her to quieten down,did the poor little mite no favours. If she had dropped her off,and left straight away,she would have settled sooner.
I don't think anything will change,if she is left with the neighbour. She is still going to play up,because mum has allowed it to happen for to long.
God knows what will happen when she starts nursery.
When my eldest started school,I had to take her into the classroom,and stand outside holding the door shut,so that she could not follow me.
She would scream and shout,but no way was I going to weaken. Many a time I went home in tears,but she soon got over being left.
Wicked mum arn't I.

Rita have you heard how your son in law is today.
Like at your end it poured hard here last night. No need for me to go and water my pots,thank goodness.
I watched Dom this morning as well. It's scandalous that Olsen lines did not cater for people in wheel chairs. That poor woman was heart broken wasn't she. We have watched him every morning morning this week.
Did you follow the hospital series that was on before this week. It was very interesting,and prior to that they had the animal 24/7.

Hi Pauline,

The one with me sitting with Gin & tonic...LIKE YOU DO ..LOL is the back ,the other is the front.

The field is at the side and back.......there is more to the barn ,but I did not want to over do it ..!! LOL

Rita no I did not see that program.....poor lady sounds as if she should have her money back.

Oh Linda your best off not having those sort of Children, my god she sounded like too much hard work.....and YOU don't need that.
So her mother has done you a favour......good for you.

Off now to take Step Mother to Hospital.

Marilyn good for you pushing that hospital it is the only way you can get anywhere these days unless you are on their books like l am.I hope they can do something for her. I was thinking of you this morning did you see Dom Littlewood having ago about the cruise that poor old lady paid £1400 for and could not leave the boat due to her beinging in a wheelchair she had 34 steps to get up and down so her cruise she had to spend on board. and she had been told they cattered for people like her she was in tears but he managed to get her her money back after a lot of trouble he had. .

Linda it sounds to me as if K mother is one of those who ppampers her child I have someone in my family that does that and as the child grows it gets worse she is 12 years old now and her mother watches her all the time she is not allowed out with her friend, she has to ask all the time if she can do things. and she has such baby ways .


l Love Wall flowers they always give a good show and the scent from there blooms are lovely l didnt have any in this year as my ohers were getting old i pulled them up and when I went to buy some new plants the frost had gotten to them so l didnt buy any.
