General Chat

Hi everyone

had a great time at the meet, it was lovely seeing people, it was great to meet Mo and Maddie in the flesh

Maddie was still drinking when I left Mo, I left about 5, took ages to get to Kings x on the bus, traffic was bad. Got home at 7.

Cath, it's a shame we can't get to see you, Maddie took lots of photos

Dermot, your story of the snakes was funny.

Marilyn we did miss you honey, and we spoke very kindly of you...... well the others did, I ran you into the ground, for going on holiday and deserting us like that. LOL
I know that Maddie and Yvonne were taking pics, and Garden Pest (Karen)is going to forward the pics she took of us all as well, so you wont be short of photo's.

Cath when theres another local meet over here, you will have to come over and stay with one of us. You know you will be welcome.
It would be great if we could all meet up sometime.

Hi all ,

Mo did you miss me ?? LOL

Sounds like a good time all round, hope you cheered me with a G&T ..!

Mo fancy forgetting your camera ....naughty girl....now I have to see what other gals took ..Ugghhh.

But so glad to had a great day ......I was thinking about you all..

Ok I'll wait for more news ...

Mo, sounds like you had a wonderful day out. Lovely of Jean to call and wish you all a good time.
Dont think I'm ever going to enjoy a meet, being stuck on an island like I am. Sobs...........

Gooood evening everyone. What a great time we had today. I hope Maddie was o.k after I left, as the vino was going down a treat.
You would all love her to bits, she's a proper giggler.
And it was great to meet our Yvonne, she's a smashing lady, and quiet as a mouse till you get her chatting.
We had real laugh today, and the weather was so kind to us.
I have a confession to make, I forgot my camera, but plenty of pics were taken by the others.
We met the wonderful Foggy, oh boy he is such a gentleman, and truly does look like an older version of Adam Faith. We also met Johnny Blue Eyes, unfortunately his eyes are not quite as blue as they were once upon a time bless him.
Whilst we were there, the waitress came to let us know, that our Jeniwren
had rung and wished us all a lovely time. How lovely is that.
I got home at about 5.30, and had to feed Roly's hungry belly, mind you mine was grumbling as well.

I hope Maddie and Yvonne got home safetly.

Hi All
Hope the meet went well..................... anyone back yet?

Nets all washed & dried. Most of the ironing done. Bed to strip tomorrow Ugh never ending. Always some washing & then the ironing.

Have done some cross stitch, finished the baby cardigan and also the jumper for Bulgaria.

Might go and read as there isn't much on TV other than sport

Oh Maddie will send an e-mail tonight, look out for it, might not be new to you but see what you think.

Linda :o) XxX

Rita sorry you are still under the weather, a hairdo would have been a great pick me up, shame they were so busy.
Linda I bet you've got snowy nets now!!!

Dermot,
I liked your story about the snakes.I find it quite amusing the thought of a snake going shopping!

Slithering Snakes.

This mother snake had three baby snakes living in a pit. She wanted to go out shopping one day & she didn’t want to take the baby snakes with her to the shops. So, she asked them if they wouldn’t mind hissing around their pit until she returned home.

Yes, hissing around the pit - well, they are snakes; snakes do hiss & they live in a pit. They agreed. She said if she were late returning from the shops, they were to go over to Mrs Pots’ pit & hiss there to await the mother’s arrival.

Mrs Pots was a neighbouring snake widow with no baby snakes of her own. So, they said fair enough. This is what we will do like you said: “We’ll hiss around our pit till you get home & if you are late, we will go over to Mrs Pots’ pit & hiss there till you turn up”.

So, she went off to the shops & the baby snakes hissed around their own pit. And right enough, the mother snake was late home. So, the baby snakes decided to stop hissing around their own pit & went over to
Mrs Pots’ pit to hiss, as instructed.

Now, they were hissing around Mrs Potts pit for a long time when
Mrs Pots came out of her pit & let out a fierce roar. She frightened the baby snakes & they were upset. She scolded them for the noise they made. “You cannot hiss around here. Go back to your own pit & hiss there“.

So, they stopped hissing around Mrs Pots’ pit & went back home to hiss around their own pit again. There they were hissing & crying at the same time when their mother snake arrived home. And she asked them why they were crying & they told her the full story.

The mother snake was enraged. “Mrs Pots has a nerve - she really has a bloody nerve. I remember Mrs Pots when she didn’t even have a pit to hiss in herself”.
-----------------------------------------

The snake slithers around
sneaky not a sound.

Creeps upon his prey
attacks then & runs away.

He might be pretty look at
outside he's a snake, inside he's a rat.

Beware of him, he bites
and does it within his rights.

The snake will smother
even kill his own mother.

Snakes are full of greed
upon your soul he will feed.

The snake is a self-adoring creature
humility is not a feature.

Snakes are everywhere
so beware.

Hi Marilyn

I feel sorry for myself I am not use to being so down and feeling ill I took myself off to Town today did a walk about thought it would do me good to get out it was packed I thought I would go and get my hair shampooed and cut and blow dried but there were 12 people in front of me and there were only two girls working so I came home. I will try and get there in the week when it is not so busy. I have a young Italian hair i dresser and she was away today.
It has been a lovely day I am wondering how the Meet went off. I am pleased it stayed nice for them. but there were alot of probl;ems on the underground trains but hopefully they missed that.

Happy Birthday for tomorrow Jean. hope your day goes well.
Love Rita

Hi All........that's left on thread ..!!

Hope the girls are having a great time at the meet.....I can see them all now gossiping away about how great they look all spruced up....LOL

Rita .....how are you today ?

Shelly I didn't see you post yesterday , are you still up Mo's tree ?

I'm taking things easy today .......like sipping G&T's and lounging around in the shade. doing sweet nothing ..

How's our Stevey boy ?

Morning all.
Up bright and early today, got to get my bath,and get spruced up,and ready to go.
I was awake at 6.30 just in case I overslept,I don't want to miss my train.

It's a lovely bright sunny morning here.

Speak to you tonight to let you know how it goes.
Mo xxx

Morning all
Very frosty here too, but the SUN is shining !!!
Maybe I will get the nets washed & dried today. So much nicer than yesterday.

Off for a walk for the papers soon

Linda :o) XxX

Morning all, it's very frosty , the gritters were out last night. Looks like it's going to be sunny again though - so might be a nice day.

Hope it's a good meet for everyone who goes today, looking forward to the photos we get from you. The rest of us will just have to get the gossip second hand. Pity we couldn't all make it to a meet.

Stephen, how can you put the word 'snow' into the same sentence as the words 'glorious day'?

Morning to everyone,
Hope those of you going to the meet have a great time, wish I could go too and meet you all.
Dermot, no wonder you are so proud of your niece, I bet not many get into the Oval office to interview the President.
Rita and Jean hope today is a better one for you both.
Mo I am happy to get splinters from your tree instead of mine, lol. Quiz night was fun.
~~~~~~ to all,

Cath xx

Hope everyone has a nice day tomorrow and especially those at the meet.

Wrap up warm as Hubby said it is -3C this evening when he left Heathrow !!! Luckily he didn't have to scrape his screen.

I did a pile more ironing. And finished the cardigan just needs a button and the jumper as I had spare wool now.

Sleep well, hope you feel better tomorrow Rita and Jean

Linda :o) XxX

Just popped on to say I hope you all enjoy the meet tomorrow,
I wish so much I was going to be there but unfortunately it isn't possible this time.
I'm sure you will all have a great time, you are such a happy, friendly group.

Take care and stay safe.
Jean xx
