I think the party did go with a bang. .when the candles where lite up we had to turn the lights off it was too bright, then the fire brigade arrived with their hoses my what big hoses they had aiming to put the fire out on the cake. so I had a bit of soggie cake.I did nick a candle though as a keepsake.
Mo my hat is now back in the hedge ready for any bird that wants a nest. it is still empty at the moment.

see you later

Oh my word I feel quite sick with al that cake and jelly and ice cream,we ate yesterday.Thanks for the jelly+ice cream Yvonne.
I bet Marilyn was jealous she was not here to eat it.
Just watch the diet on that ship Maz,with all that lovely food to eat,the pounds could easily creep back on.
Where were you yesterday then Shelly,you missed seing Rita and me dressed up in all our best gear. lol Poor Rita had to shoo the birds away from her hat so many times,I was in hysterics laughing at her.
Ah ha,I counted the candles Pauline,so now I know how old Sueee is.
Mind you the candles did look like sticks off dynamite,you meant the party
to go with a bang then. lol
Hi Lady good to hear from you.

Now we know why Shelly wasn't on here much yesterday, it must have taken all day to bake that 3 layer cake and decorate it all. At least it gave us plenty to eat.

Hi Marilyn, are you still around or have you gone back on the ship? I bet you haven't even chipped your nail varnish since you went away. You're making us all jealous with the way you're being waited on. Now you know what it feels like to be mega rich - would you like to live like that all the time? I wouldn't mind being waited on for a couple of weeks, in fact a couple of days would be enough.

That's right Lady, it's one mad rush to get as many as possible before the rise. My order took 8 days to get here - so that wasn't bad. I sent another order off a couple of days ago and the dispatch day is supposed to be 1st April.

Rita, I forgot to put the candles on Sue's cake. Do you think she noticed?

Mo, count the candles on the top row, then the bottom, then put the two digits next to each other.

Some of you may have wondered where I have got to, whilst others probably don't even care??
With all the forums etc that I go on, I find it hard to even fit my work in...lol..I do plan to visit then get very side tracked into other things, then forget wht my original plan was!!!
I ordered some certs last weekend & was hoping they would arrive from Thursday onwards but they haven't. I just looked on gro website & it's taking an extra 3 days for despatch...I then realised why!!! The cost of certs is going up £2.25 each from 6th April so everyone must be getting their orders in quick before the rise!!!

Uhm Rita,Pauline did not say how old Sue was,so thats why she has not put any candles on the cake,just to keep us guessing.
I shall be away to my bed soon,as I am feeling really rough with this flu-cold,dont know what it is,but it sure do make you feel horrid.
See you tommorrow.

Evening All !!
Hoping Sue enjoys her day.
Chinese sound lovely. We had bangers and mash and onion gravy, really good too.

Well had an answer back, bu unfortunately doesn't seem to be a connection yet, though same places and similar times, just not the right first names so far. Will keep checking though, might just link in the future or should I say the past.

Enjoy your evening ladies.

Off to do some more cross stitch

Linda :o) Xxx

PS don't forget to put your clocks forward

Rita, Aunt Sallie sounds great,birds nest and all. Make sure that the birds are not in residence when you put it on though. As birds can make an awful mess on your shoulders.
I think Pauline said she would be out for most off the day.
Now would you like a drink, or a nice cuppa,as it's still quite early to be on the booze.
(^^)? a nice cup off tea to be going on with,and heres a bun @ to keep you going till Yvonne gets here with the Jelly.

That l would like to see Mo with a catapult and jelly on it.ready for a fling.

I thought about going as Aunty Sally wife of a Scacrow but my straw hats got moth holes in and someone has removed the old blue ribbon off the back, mind you I have a cowboy hat a real one from my barn dancing days.that might look silly.
I just looked out my window to see a squirel curled around the monkey nuts bag trying to get the nuts out of the bag. cheeky devil
Then I spotted the ideal thing for my head a birds nest made of straw shaped to a point. I will look cute in that. Move over Mo I will look better then you lo0l
