Oh whats the matter with this site ????

It keeps wanting maintenance ...

This is the third time lucky....Yes Pauline it is the ship in the back ground, but I was a long way away so not a good photo of it.

Now the SUN is OUT and I'm about to go and pick some primroses in my garden ....Awhhhh.

Morning everyone. I had a problem getting in today, GR were busy doing something to the site.

Thanks for the photos Marilyn, looks like you all had a good time (apart from the steak). Your dad looks much younger than 95, I think he could pass for early 70s, he looks really well. One of my uncles looked like that when he was in his nineties, and he drank whiskey every night...........I wish I liked whiskey!!

Was that the boat you were on?

Shelly, you might be able to get some sparkly purple leggings for Liz. Mind you, you might have to go to a dance shop to get them.

Morning !

Well just as well you lot did not find the party last night as the meal 4 of us had fillet steak and it was bloody tough as old boots..
So what did I do ?......complained , (to the manager) now he wanted to replace the steak but we had gone off of it by then I told him to report it to head office as it was poor quality beef.This was a well known chain
We had the bill reduced of the steaks, at least the manager did that for us, but was a shame as it was my Dads 95th but we carried on regardless, we had balloons tied to his chair and he was surrounded by his family, and had 5 bottles of whiskey !!as presents ..LOL
So wont be going there again...

So I guess as we left him at home later.... I'm sure he tucked into them bottles ..!

After wards we went home to one of my sisters and had a few drinkies now that you lot could have joined in, all colours would have blended in (after a few drinks) ..LOL
So I got a headache now,with too much drinking and singing .

Dont know what to do today, think I'll chill out...

Thanks and no thanks Shelly, don't want baby blue, I want Purple leggings lol

And sorry, you are wrong, I wouldn't have tossed the poor old chap overboard, I think it was heartless to have him cremated in a foreign country and sent home in a package. There's practical and there's heartless. There might have been friends or someone who would have wanted to see the old man once more before a send off, instead of getting a packet of ashes. What a dreadful shock for the partner of the old lady, but a quick and hopefully painless death for the man, bit like my Mum. She was getting ready to go to the day centre, her weekly trip, so had the key in the door ready to leave (meant no one could get in cos she had it locked) but was found by the driver who came to pick her up for the lunch, and by the time neighbours had broken the window and got in and ambulance men arrived, they cut her clothes off and revived her but lost her again. My two brothers had arrived too so saw Mum like that, she would have hated it, and I wish really the driver had been a bit later so Mum didn't have to go through that indignity. She was obviously feeling well enough to the last tho, her lipstick close by as tho she was finishing getting ready to go out and enjoy the company, before her third heart attack killed her.

Shelly we can't get bright green for Rita, you know that lime green is Marilyn's favourite colour. How about mauve for Rita and we'll get her a nice mauve rinse for her hair as well?

We'll get silver ones for Linda and she'll be able to wear them for the wedding afterwards.

I'm just about to go in the bath Rita, just having a quick look on here before I go.

I think you must have pressed the over-type key on your key board by mistake. Did you press the 'shift' key at the same time as you pressed 'ins'? If you just pressed the 'ins' key on it's own, it might not put it right - try using the shift key as well. Really it should have worked just using the 'ins' key.

Shelly, that must have been a bit of a shock for that poor man, good job he had his phone on him.

Sorry to hear you aren't well Mo, no wonder your singing was bad if you had bronchitis.

You shouldn't have been working in the garden, you need to rest so you can fight the infection off.

Is the party tonight Marilyn? A bit late to tell us about it now, we'll never get there in time.

I was most amused to see Mr Brown going to see the queen in his car a few minutes walk along the road. then seeing him standing outside number ten with his staff.

It will be something new anyway these fighting for their jobs lol after all that rubibsh we had on the Tv over the Easter Weekend one channel had all the "Carry on films " and there were nothing but repeat films on .
My sister was upset as she said she pays a lot for her TV licence and gets nothing in return..

where is everyone this evening ? all sitting down having a feast ?.

I phoned doctors asked if they had got the date mixed up or had ? I was told that the district nurse was due to call this morning . to take some blood for special tests.
she checked her date book and said she had not got it down there but she would check the doctors private book and it was on there listing why it had to be done and what tests are needed. she is calling tomorrow. she said she was sorry but she didnt think to look in the doctors private book. ( I am not a private patient )t is book he carries around with him.)

l telephoned my sister still in bed she had got up and had a glass of lemonade felt giddy and got back in bed. did say she felt a little better.

I am having trouible with my typing if I make a mistake I backspace and correct and the word infront dissappears I hit the ins key but it makes no difference I have to go b ack and start from scratch any idea why thiis is happening. ?

Hello girls.
I had to go to the doctors this morning. I have had a real awful weekend.
I phoned the surgery at 8.20 this morning,and she asked me if I could be there at 9.40,well that was a no no,as I had only just got up. So I went at 9.50,and guess what I have got Bronchitus. So I have got horse sized tablets to take three times a day. Oh to feel well again,I am fed up off this.
I went and did a bit off clearing up in the garden. It was so lovely and sunny out there,and no wind. But now I feel cream crackered,so I am going to have forty winks.
Speak to you later.
