Bye for now ~~~~~~~~~~ ME XXXXXX

Good night god bless Rita,enjoy your hot drink.

I have been busy looking for a company who can transfer my 16 reels of 8 mm movie onto DVD as I have photo of my parents and my children growing up as well as my in laws and loads taken in Scotland staying at my mother in laws and taken in Norfolk. so I am surfing the internet as they say. I also did my washing and some shopping made a stew with dumplins for dinner enough for three days. and answer a lot of email. I am going to have a cup of drinking chocolate now before going to bed. then I have my blood test for warfarin level tomorrow at 10 40 it is all happening.
Love Rita

Those were the days Rita.
I was wondering where you had got to. You have got the results Warfarin test tommorrow haven't you. I hope it goes well.

Cheeky Devil that Pauline is making out I am old Lol yes I remember all those games my favourite was Whip and top send that top spinning along the middles of the road with a whip. also hoola hoops and the hoop with a stick you sent that along the road keep putting the stick in it to keep it going .
Marbles in the gutter we called them miggies. skipping roaps stretched across the road three skipping at the same time (*no cars on the road then ) bouncy ball up and down the brick walls till someone shouted at you to stop that bloody nosie,
The little bat that had a piece of elastic attached to a rubber ball you had to keep it going to see who lasted the longest
Yoyo you were good if you could keep it going under your legs or over arm.
and a scoop with a ball that you threw up and caught in the scoop. leap frog. and hop scotch . I could go on for ever.
Rita

See you later.

Yes we used to do that, amazing what you can do with empty cans......lol

Got to go again, my son needs me.

Did you ever drill a hole in two cans,and put string between them,and use them to communicate with someone. My brother and I used to do that. This was before mobile phones don't forget,we thought it was great to be able to be in different parts off the garden,and yet still be able to talk to one and other.

Still no sign of Rita, I hope she's OK.

Linda hasn't been on today either, that's unusual.

SHELLYYYYYYYYYYYY, where are you?

Think I've lost Mo down memory lane.

Well, it wasn't English skipping - I know that......lol

You never see kids playing games outside these days, we were never in.

We used to walk on tin cans with string on them, sort of like small stilts. Easily pleased weren't we?

Yes we used the elastic bands for skipping,like you I cant remember what
we called it though.
When my children were small,they had a ball that was attached to a long
piece off plastic rope,and an ankle strap,and they had to jump over the ball
whilst it was turning around their ankle.
They then went through a phase when we had to save as many elastic bands as we could,so that they could make a ball out off them.
Oh the things that we used to play with,that children these days have no idea off.
If it's not an electronic game off some type or another they don't want to know.
Just had a thought was it french skipping Pauline.

Yeah, we had jacks as well, it was the same game as chuck-stones but played with a small ball.

I can still use a hula-hoop and keep it up longer than my nieces can.

Did you have those coloured elastic bands tied together that went round 2 girls ankles and used as a type of skipping? Can't remember what they were called, something like Chinese skips.

Not sure wether chuck stones are the same as what we played,but we played it with different coloured squares,and we called it gobs. Also we played Jacks. the Jacks had four points on them,and you had to throw the ball in the air,and pick the Jacks up,like one first then two,and so on till you had picked up all six off them.
I loved my hoola hoop as well,my grandchildren cant believe that I used to have one.
I will be back soon,I have got to go and dish the dinner up now.
See ya later.
