Evening folks,
Marilyn the bubble and squeak was lovely :-D Hope you enjoyed yours too. Ours was from a huge pile of yesterdays roast leftovers as well.
Rita I haven't had any luck with my research interests as yet but I'm always hopeful, lol. Eternal optimist me :-D :-D :-D By the way, I came across an Absolom Lee while looking for one of my Saunders lot, have you found yours yet? The one I found was on a Romany site.
Had lots of messy fun with the little uns and the chalk this afternoon but my hair is stiff with dust :-S
Must be sure to double check my alarm tonight as I don't want to be late again tomorrow.
Dermot do you know anything about Westmeath? Have found some ancestors in Athlone.

Going up the tree for a while, back later,

Cath xx

Hi George

I live in Goldsworth Park Woking. I go to The Royal Surrey Hospital every three months near Guildford.

I have a senior train pass cost went up this year so it saves me some money. and I can get to lots of places from Woking Station. I miss Waterloo as you use to be able to get the Eurostar there. and could go though to France.even for one day.didnt take long.

Hi Everyone.

Cath ....Well your not going to believe this .....but I'm also having bubble and squeak ..LOL
I had so many roast potatoes & veg over from yesterday that I wouldn't ever throw away knowing bubble & squeak would be yummy !! So I have got a really cheap dinner tonight with slices of Cornbeef :-D

Agatha, Whats wrong with your breathing ?

Funny but since Amy Whinehouse death I seem to like all her songs ....I never ever took much notice of her before as the look of her put me off !! , but I can honestly say I have been listening to her records that Pete has put on my Ipod player.and I'm sad now that she has died...

Just got back from Shopping and bought a new top !! I didn't really need it but it was saying BUY ME PLEASE :-P

Afternoon one and all.
Sun is out now thank goodness, it was dull and cloudy this morning.
Guess who got up late today? I was supposed to be at work at 7 but didn't wake up until 6.50. :-( I made it for 7.30 so not too bad. Also discovered another scratch down the side of my car :-P :-P :-P a blue one this time, thats the second time in a month.
Bubble and squeak for tea so no cooking this afternoon, think i'll go out and chalk on the paving with my 3 angels, lol.
Hope all the friendlies are well and Shelly you can't disappear for 6 weeks, we'd miss you too much :-D

I'm back from the hospital, and they let me in, I wasn't sure what to expect but they showed me some really good breathing techniques which i have to practice for a month and then go back.
We've only had the one couple view our home at the moment, I hope we soon get some interest.
Hope you are all OK

Hmm..... don't know what she is going to do with it maybe fantasize a little ?

:-D

Hi George glad you came back, and I was getting a little worried that I might have frightened you away...
I do like my tipple of G&T and many glasses of wine , hmm.
