So for the christmas period, I will be MommyChristmas. Luv Mo xxx

watch your blood pressure Stephen dont want to over boil not good for you.
I have had others tell me they have had problem with people on the roads who have never driven in snow and ice and have been really silly with some of the things they have been doing.
I am glad I am not driving now.

Shelly I think I will pop over to dinner with you I love Toad in the Hole it is one of my favourite dinners,
I like bacon suet pudding as well dont have that much now as it is very fattening,
I made a meat stew and had that at dinner time *Lunch to some of you". I have a whole saucpan full so will put it into pour bags and freeze some otherwise I will be eating stew all week and next week too lol
I love roast dinners with potatoe;s batter pudding , greens and butter beans and parsnips
Now I feel hungry.
Keep warm.
I looked out into the car park a little while ago and the snow is glittering like stars so it must be icing up.

Rita

Home again.

Safe ?
Yes.....but no thanks to some idiots who are out on the roads and don't have a bloody clue how to drive.
I'm finding that those in large 4 x 4s are about the worst of all. They think they are invincible and the machines can do anything............
Sorry mate.....if you don't have driving skills in the first place......your machine still won't do it.
Stay at home and let others get on with the driving.

RANT over

Evening all.

Sorry about that but as you will have gathered I am pretty peeeeed off by some really amateur drivers.

Other than that I've have had a good day.

Going to have my tea in a minute or so.......take deep breaths....calm down... and come back refreshed.

I've just put our dinner on to cook, I'm doing pork curry - to keep us warm.

Marilyn

I have received your last email but cannot open it to read it.I have tried three times but it will not open.

Rita

Linda I like to watch programes like that on clearing the runways And I found it so interesting I had not realised how it was done,
when I first went abroard I went with my sister to Amsterdam and we went with Birmmingham ariways. it was a lovely flight took 45 minutes. we went for ten days coming back we had a later flight so it was dark when we were due to leave the Airport at Amsterdam . and I was sitting looking out of the window from the airport lounge when our plane landed to take us back home after they had let everyone off I saw two air personel looking under the plane with torches. I said to my sister I am not going on that, they have a problem must be somthing wrong with the under carriage she burst out laughing and said they check the planes before we take off. I felt a right fool.

Marilyn your neighbour must be on Warfarin. I hope he is alright.

Shelly you do need long Johns under your trousers I wore them in Norfolk they were very comforatble and kept me warm.

Rita

mo i dident say thay warnt going to be clean ones lol
and if i was to have an accident at lest i would be drest for the acashion

baby just going for a check up

Cor Shelly, we really wanted to know about your snotty nose pmsl.
Is little man staying in hospital tommorrow, or is it for them to check his last op.
I think you should buy some long johns, to wear under your trousers.
God forbid should you have a mishap, and end up in hospital for yourself,and they take your jeans of and find your P.J bottoms underneath.
Did your mum never tell you to have clean undies,in case of accidents.
We always had to have a clean vest and knickers on, when we went anywhere, just in case. I began to think that justin case was a person.

think im gettinhg a cold iv got a snotty nose

marilyn its to cold to wurry about fashion
baby has hospital to morrow im going to put some jarmer bottoms under my trasers so have you got some legging you can put under your trasersers

Marilyn
Would you believe it !! Hubby is on late shift until Monday at 11:00 then Tuesday is his first day off for 3 days and back to work on Friday, so he won't be there at all.
If you get stuck let me know by pm and we will see if we can help, ovenight bed to aclimatise you both before you go back to Devon or anything else. Did you catch a coach up to Heathrow

Have a warm sunny day Marilyn.
The rest of us keep as warm as possible, hope Marilyn is packing her case full of sunshine, we sure need it

Linda :o) XxX

Hi All,

Linda I misunderstood you about hubby meeting me at the airport !! I thought you said MY hubby ..... that's why I replied but he's with me ..LOL

Linda .....Yes tell YOUR hubby a hot water bottle would be nice as well , and can he arrange VIP treatment with all the trimmings like a cooked breckie to warm us up .
On the coach back home I have bought a lightweight blanket from USA one of those that has no weight but are very warm I'll have to wear a pair of Petes socks with my sandals gonna look like an old Grannie ......well I am a Grannie .......
Dont want much do I ...LOL

We get back at 7am Tuesday morning...Heathrow .if we are allowed !!

My neighbour woke us up early today ....he was putting his trousers on and broke his TOE !!!!!!!!! now how on earth he did that I'll never know, apparently he put pressure on his foot to the ground when he put his foot through the trouser leg ....not ever heard of that one before.
Now he's gone to the Emergency Hospital as he bleeds quite easily with his medication.
So we are waiting for some news as to weather he needs us to drive his car home as his wife drove him there but she's a nervous wreck to start with ..

Mo
Hubby works at Heathrow, about 25 miles from our home and takes him about an hour to get in usually.
Worse since they opened T5 and he has to park beyond the terminal and then get bus and train to where he works Mad eh.

Little is having a nap now, after giving her some anti itch medicine that made her shudder don't think it tasted very nice.

Have a good afternoon.

Wish I'd seen the programme about the de-icing Rita, but you described it well

Linda :o) XxX

Hello Pat sorry I didnt see you right at the top of the board, I saw the P and thought it was Pauline anyway welcome to the friends thread. we are a lot of nutters at times but we are all good sports and help each other out when we can.,

No have not heard from Stacey about Megan this morning but the hospital are usually busy in the mornings.

Linda I watched the way they worked on keeping the flight paths open at Heathrow they had a sprinkler that deforsted then they had buffs that took of the water surplous water then they had a scrapper and then finally a car went out testing the flight path,

My Granddaughter who lives in Dorset is getting married in September and he is a flight controller at Heathrow but they moved them to Dorset so it all take place from there now It is a strenous job.but he has been there years and just been promoted

I am not sure I thought she said at the end of this week..


Rita

Linda is your OH at Gatwick or Stanstead.

I have just had my first Christmas cards from my Granddaughter in Dorset and one from a friend in York.

This will upset my longtime friend Joan who is usually the first one to send me a card.

Rita

Morning all
Not too bad here this morning.
Little M is here again but quiet, she hardly slept last night and kept her Mum up too.
Hubby has just left early as he has to attend a meeting................ the airport management is mad. The M3 sounds horrendous this morning a police incident one way closed junction 2 to 3 towards us early today. And the opposite dirrection has one and a half hours jams going towards the M25.
He has emergency clothing and wellies in his bag, to be left in the boot all winter incase he gets caught like last year.Just thought I should add a blanket tomorrow you just don't know.
Keep warm everyone
I am still confined to barracks so will be fine, except like Pauline going stir crazy keeping on saying "don't scratch stop itching etc etc"

Linda :o) XxX

PS Rita you are right Marilyn is coming into Heathrow. Does anyone know when? I offered for hubby to get her a warm coat, gloves and scarf and meet her thereLOL

I know Pauline, but what does worry me, is how is he going to get to work tommorrow, and if his car has been impounded. He had to leave it at the roadside,so I don't know what the regulations are where he left it.

Have you got your earplugs in, to drown out Brents music. LOL

Ooops sorry I nearly missed you Rita. Any news yet on the little one yet.

Morning all.
I thought Marilyn came to Heathrow airport they were still flying from there. , they had the machines working full out to make sure. I told Marilyn this morning what they had been doing as I thought she was going there. she didnt mention in her email what airport she would be landing at.
She will feel the cold when she get in to England..

My son had a four wheel drive and said he would never have managed to get to and from work without it.. many were stranded on the M3 which he uses.
Guildford was at a stand still late evening so I was told this morning.It is cold here but no snow the gritt put down by the gardeners yesterday did the trick.but it is still a bit icy in patches. I am not going out today. the man in the above flat is 88 and he is getting me a some bread which I am out of. he even took my washing in to the laundry room and put it into the machines and did it for me I didnt expect him to do that. I thought he was going to put it into the washer as he was taking his washing out. but he did it all. I felt terrible guilty about it.

I hope everyone is careful when they go about today.
take care
Rita
