Hi ya Maz, not daisies, they would be roses where you are concerned.
We would lose if we offered to run a P*ss up in a brewery these days.
The word Great has been lost in the words Great Britain.

Pat I am an old biddy my son says that. and I burst out laughing

I think what did it was the Media and the BBC they never think to wait till results of the voting was announced they could have had a field day then. they have to open their mouths They will never learn.

Not that I care where it is held but ti is annoying for others.

Mommy Christmas the super markets have had a run of people stocking up and they have left lots of young families with out milk and bread.. why do people do this.? it is like the war when there was talk about that everyone who HAD MONEY stocked up brought up all the sugar and tinned hams and foods. it is a case of blow you Jack Im alright.

Marilyn yes I saw that last email. I tried looking for him a broad I tried some of the news papers in Devon I must have another llok sometime. incase he was in that an accident or shipped abroad. the thing is no one is alive that can give me any answers to where he went. ? Thank you so much for trying for me I do appreciate that.

Pauline the closure of the station did not appear on the TV again people phone in or email and they run things on the Tv in little snips that was how I heard that.

This should give everyone a laugh. at the back of my flat is a private car park for visitors to my court.(.we have a court one for the residents)
I was siting on the end of my bed, looking at the snow coming down. when a car pulled up one man went to the next road which leads off ours. and another got out of the car and peed on the flowers that you could see above the snow.. I was going to bang on the window to let him know I was there, but thought better not. you would have thought he would have walked two houses a long and use the toilet of his house.
If it had been dry out I would have written a large note and stuck it on his car.

Hi Pat.
I am lucky, I have done all my christmas shopping.
All I have got to get in the way of food, is the fruit and veg. Mind you judging by this weather, I'm glad it's done already.
We have to go out tommorrow to buy some more grub,as we are starting to run out. But we will be walking, the car can stay where it is. Just hope we don't fall over,as it's meant to be going to freeze here in Kent overnight.
See you later. Mo

Hi All.

Rita ....I hope you got the last PM message from me (False Alert) one ......It was after I studied Absalom ....things started to change .
The one from b Wokingham was the same Absalom as the West ham one and Dartford one , he seemed to have sated many different birth ages as he went along ......throwing me in a turmoil !! LOL

So Your Absalom is still on the missing list ......I think maybe done a runner overseas .

Sorry about that Rita....I thought I really did find him after the connection with the Deighton Family ,which I find extraordinary weird .


I have just been out to buy my self some warm boots for my travels home , I don't need them really as I have two nice pairs back home , but I cant be cold when I arrive at Heathrow ,
I have been watching the news on USA telly as they did show clips from Scotland and a few other places........so I'm aware of the cold too .

Back later neighbour just called ......

Pauline I heard it on the Tv this morning they give you little snipets and that was one of them, did they get it wrong ?sometimes poeple phone in and relay this type of thing. I have not heard i since but I didnt see the midday news.

Marilyn I replied to your email but I dont know what has happened as some times I am unable to open them this tme . I opened them and read the two I replied to the last one and it didnt go. I know as I check the in and sent messages after I have sent them off.

Linda that death certificate I had for James McCallum before I did anything I emailed one of my cousins in the McCallum family in Scotland.and it is one he knows so I am sending it off to him in Edinburgh. I am pleased it is going to someone who I know. I told him I will post ot as soon as I can get out to post it. so I am pleased about that.

Sue I dont blame you for working from home in this weather..it must be a nightmare on the roads.
.you should make a little sofa for the cat to lay on and look out the cat flap make he or she more comfortable.

My Great Granddaughter is out of hospital, they didnt do the endoscopy after all they said they would give it a few more weeks and then do it.as she has been trhough so much.

My daughter sa w the doctor he is not sure if it is gout but she has medication to try ad see if it helps.

Been shopping and am home for a couple of hours. Snow on the side roads [mine] but the Town is clear. I reckon they used half the salt supply outside the Tube. Makes you smile. Our corner outside our house is a skating rink. I tottered off down the road with the dog, and took a scoop or two of salt from the bin. So will wisk that around so it is a bit safer.

Dog went mad in the snow. She jumps around like a puppy. Tossing it up in the air and eating the stuff. She is nearly 8 years old now, but get her out in the white stuff, and she goes barmy.

Start work at 3pm today. I think the weather will keep some people away. We have poinsettas in already. Red, white and pink. We only buy British, so they should last a bit longer.

Remember ladies and gents. If you buy one from a warm shop, cover it completely with plastic bags. The cold weather will send them into shock otherwise, and the leaves will just drop off. There is no true flower with them, just different coloured leaves. Clever eh, these Mexicans.

Gonna make a proper effort on Saturday to go out and buy something for Christmas. Working Sunday.

Hope everyone is warm and well.
See you all later.
