General Chat

Marilyn,

Have you ditched that Electric Blanket yet ?

The last time I tried to get into Hot Pants....I got my face slapped....ROFL

BIKINI
Is that something for hanging boulders in ? ;-) ;-) ;-)

I'm having a wee relax just now.

Pauline ...

HOT PANTS !!!!!!!!!!!!....went out years ago.... now come on Pauline keep up to date with the fashion ......I think you want to be a pixie as you have pixie boots already ..LOL ;-)

Cant wait for the summer... bikini.... comes to mind ...Stevey will think all his Christmases have come at once !!

Back to the dusting ...Uggghhh

Morning all, it's lovely and sunny here today. Think I'll put some grass seeds in the bare patches where we've killed the moss.

Aye pet, ya reet, Maddie, sha woz rubbish.

Linda, these men just need a little push........... for about 2 years. :-)

Jean, you do very well for your age, don't think I could cope with a baby.

Stephen, you could always put flowers in the boat and make it a garden feature. I think Mac Root is a good name for a genealogy site, could have been a good board name.

Cath, that must have been awful for your dad, not being able to see his mother for 5 years. I hadn't really thought about it before but those children must have been so afraid.

Ooooooooooooh Rita, now the truth's coming out......... you picked sailors up and took them home.. :D :D :D Look out Stephen!!

Pat, there's always something new to look at when the pictures change, so we won't get bored.

My God Shelly, is Olly nearly 2.......... wow, that's flown.

Marilyn, I can't believe you were thinking of putting something ugly up as your avatar, you know you always want to be the prettiest.

Lovely picture Sally, she looks very sweet.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY

It won't let me put a drawing up for Emily.
:S :S

Where's Mo and Dermot today?

Morning All,

Sally your Emily looks like the (Blond Hairdresser one) cant be bothered to turn pages to find her name ..LOL

Stevey.... we want a real photo of you in a kilt and regalia , but if that's the best you can do ,suppose we will have to accept it :S

Jean another great breakfast, glad Max sounds OK ...can you put a photo on your profile for us to see ?

Cath.... I love your witch, I was going to put a whitchy one but could'nt find an ugly one so thats why I went the opposite for a fairy.

Rita ... Brixham is very pretty my ancestors lived there and baptised in St Pedrock church. Bittaford is were my sister lives it has a famous Bridge & quayside that is so old it almost crumbled about 15yrs ago and had to be revamped !

I don't know what to do today .......got loads to catch up on.....but got to be in the mood for all of them ..LOL

Meanwhile its coffee time

Morning everyone,
Every time I come on this thread the pictures have been changed!
It was raining this morning!
I've got 5 minutes before I start work! :-(

Rita, I know it was a very tough time for my grandmother and others. My mother in law was also evacuated and to this day still gets upset when she speaks of it.

Stephen I like the picture :D

Cath xx Off to the shops!

Morning all.

We sat and watched a DVD last night, cos we couldn't find anything to watch on tv.

We saw A Taste of Honey with Dora Bryan and Rita Tushingham. A typical 60's kitchen sink drama. The night before we watched Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. Two great films.

We also have Up the Junction, but have had difficulty in buying A Kind of Loving. It is available, but at a silly price, so will let that lie for a while.

Bright and sunny here so far.

Have a good day.

morning Jean glad Max is getting better, he must be a bit frightened after he was shot. will take time for his conferdence to come back..

Stephen it is hard to get rid of boats these days. we had a cabin crusier 6 birth it was docked at Haryleford Marine on the Thames, we had a little dingy that we tethered at the side incase we needed it.? but at home we had three canoes one Kiyack I gave 2 to a boys club. the others to the scouts as we had a job selling my son in law still has a double seater canoe in his rafters at his house. I said his grandchildren will have that when they reach that age,we use to take them up to Horsenden Hills at the top of the road where we lived and use them on the canal we caused a stir as people gather there saturday or sunday afternoon to watch us.

Cath I stayed up last night to watch the troops land on the Channel Islands the day after VE day 9th May the people went mad.with joy.
I watched the programme at Buckingham Palace as well to think I was among that crowd. I knew there were many people there but had not realised just how many.my friend and I met two Sailors off one of the ships that had docked in London and they stayed with us us. they walked us home from Buckingham Palace to Willesden when we got home her mother opened the door and asked them in they had a cooked meal and stayed in my friends brothers room (he was in the Merchant Navy) they had breakfast in the morning and we waved them off. they had to be back intime as the ship was depending on the tide. Memories.

Good morning everyone,
a lovely sunny start to the day, clear blue skies and little wind.
Today in the Channel Islands is a bank holiday -Liberation Day -. The day that the islands were freed from German Occupation at the end of the 2nd world war. My own father was evacuated to Cheshire at the start of the occupation and didn't see his mother for more than 5 years. It must have been such a difficult time for all the children who were evacuated and for the parents who were left behind, many of whom also had loved ones away fighting the war. Lets spare a thought for them all today.

Shelly I am a good witch, lol. Although from time to time I am referred to as "the old witch". I don't mind being called a witch but I do mind being called OLD at 47. :-(
Jean I hope Max is on the mend and enjoys his walk.

Have a good day folks,



<3 <3 <3 <3

Cath xx

Morning All !

Thanks for the lovely breakfast Jean.

Better looking morning out there. Sunshine.

Linda, It's amazing how long it takes sometimes to get rid of things. I have a clear out now and then but generally I like to get rid of things quickly.

Right now I'm trying to clear out Sailing and Boating things I no longer need. Some I have managed to sell but the thing I really want away is a Sailing Dinghy. It is totally refurbished and has a great road trailer and I am asking a studidly low price for it........I can't get it sold
It is becoming a bloody nuisance to me and I also need the space for other things. I'll probably finish up giving it away.

Gonna do a few bits and bobs around the place.....as much as my Gammy Leg will allow me to do. I have a good bit more mobilty and my gentle exercise routine is working. Should soon be back to what it was......
.......next to useless.

Have a good day ya all !

Rita, Hope you fix out your cooker problem soon.......keep your gun hidden until you know you can't miss.....then shoot.

Morning all. hope you had a peaceful night and slept well.
We have sunshine here at the moment, hope it stays so that I can walk Max,
I love the pictures you have all put on here, aren't you clever.

Breakfast is on hotplate, please help yourselves.
Cereal or fruit.

Bacon, eggs, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, hash browns.
Hot rolls, bagels, toast.

Tea, coffee, or juice.

Am off to have a shower now before Scarlett wakes and wants food, isn't it strange how having a baby in the house can change the whole days routine? or is it just me getting old?
Hope you all have a good day.
Take care and stay safe.
Jean xx
:-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Morning all
Looks brigt again so far
Managed to get rid of more dead plants yesterday evening, mainly cos the tortoise had disappeared and I hadn't seen him all day !!!
He had been hiding under some plants that needed thining out as it really wsn't warm enough for him yesterday.

I also managed to get hubby to break up a spare single divan base that i have been trying to get rid of for 2 years. It is now in various piles, metal to recycle, wood to burn, fabric and plastics out with the rubbish this morning. Now that wasn't so hard was it ??

Little here later so I guess we'll be doing some sticking. I just had a thought that maybe we should make a Fathers day card before she leaves.

Have a good day everyone.

Linda :-) <3

Sat and watched a DVD cos there was beggar all on.

Glad you agreed with me about the accent in Vera, Pauline.

You speak the lingo, and I have the ear for it, cos of Mr. K's family. Apparently she has been listening to tapes of Cheryl Cole to get the accent.

She dinna get it reet, did she Hinney?
