Morning my lovelies ,

MO...Sorry to hear about nephew.....poor lad. I'm sure they will do there best for him.

Had a nice dinner last night at my sisters Roast chicken.and talked until I ran out of conversation ....and that's hard to do ..LOL

Rita . would love to have you on our management committee, as we are very rural we have to pay for our own electric lighting & Sewage works etc, not everyone pays their subs at the right date......and it always causes problems .
So at the meetings its usually Pete that speaks on behalf of the residents that pay on time , with you there I'm sure they would ALL Pay Up !!! LOL

Jean ....I felt that those Gypsies were not true Romany so I quite agree with you , but still fascinated by them.

Where's MADDIE ?? haven't seen her for a while....hope she's OK

I have written to GR about my little man face, so waiting to see what they have done with him ......but I did have a surprise from GR this morning .....they have reduced my billing for membership to £7-96 !!! ....cant be bad can it ???

Going up the hospital this morning....Pete s turn ..LOL just for a Pre Med for his op.
its going to be about 2months time ,so don't know what the hurry is

Hope you all have a great day .....its sunny Devon at the moment ..

My Mammy.
---------------

When my prayers were poorly said
Who tucked me in my little bed
And smacked me till my bum was red -
My Mammy.

Who took me from my cosy cot
And put me on my ice-cold pot
And made me wee when I could not -
My Mammy.

Who would my hair so neatly part
And hug me gently to her heart
And sometimes squeezed me till I would (Censored) -
My Mammy.

And when at night the bed would creek
I raised my head to have a peep
Who yelled at me to go asleep -
My Daddy!

LOL Dermot, I've never heard that before.

Marilyn that weired getting a pre-med that far back usually they do that week before hand to make sure all the heart and lungs and blood pressure are in order before they operate, are you sure he is to wait two months for that operation ?
They might have made a mistake.?
Did you get a card from Devon Family History Society for this years membership ? I sent off my cheque and never heard anything from them ?
That is strange your residents associtaion , we hire a hall it is used by Scouts Guides and Borwnies. and elderly people weekly. we hire it twice a year. when I said we I ment the Anchor Trust who own the lands we lease.,
Dont they have a treasurer to deal with the subs ?if so he should collect them make a date they should be paid.
I have always been into committee I am afarid I am one of those people who dont like to be passed over as an idiot (even if I might be lol )
I have been on three committees at the same time before now.

Jean I did watch thet BFGW a few times but it got too much for me to see the way some of them acted and little kids who could barely walk in dresses that weighed three times as much as they did.. but it appears by the viewing figure many people viewing it and are enjoying it..

I am sitting here typing away and all I can hear is the guns going off from the Army base either the one at Aldershot or Pirbright when the wind is in the right direction I hear them all the time. they have been at it all morning.

I am off to make a cup of coffee now,

Rita

roast chicken dinner - that's my favourite roast Marilyn.

I just had my dinner I did roast beef (cheated boil in the bag with gravey )
I did roast Potato's and white cabbage , I made a large rice pudding and use a small tin of evaporated milk and skimmed milk it was lovely all nice and creamy .
I am going to have a cup of tea in a moment. then wash my hair before I do anything else.

Has anyone had their 2011 census papers in yet ? I have a thread on the boards started 16th Jan and checked up on some thing to find some had her papers in but nothing has been in the media so I am wondering why?

Rita

Hi Rita
No nothing about the census, but I don't read papers usually.

I went to see my hair specialist today and have come home with some new things that I am very pleased with.

Have some tidying up to do as hubby has gone to work and some ironing.

See you later

Linda :o) XxX

Rita, yuk Rice pudding- the sight or thought of it makes me feel sick!
Spent some of my Christmas money - got aload of books from Smiths. I'll get round to reading them one day!

You dont know what you are missing Pat. the two taste like cream . I love it. always have liked home made rice pudding rather than tinned as tinned is so thick .all my family love as well.
They like home made pudding.

Linda glad you had a good day. the census will come to us by post I have just added to my thread..

Rita

Hello all. hope your day is going well.
Oh Rita, your dinner sounds delicious, I love home made rice pudding.
Linda, are you feeling any better today, hope you are.
Dermot, love the poem, thank you for sharing it.
Marilyn, I watched the wedding programme out of curiosity, I spoke yesterday to a very old Romany lady, she is disgusted with the tinkers allowing the cameras to follow them around, but as she said tinkers will do anything for grushi.
Mo, how is your nephew.
Hope you all have a good day, well, what is left of it.
Go with God and in good health.
Jeniwren xx

Hi Jean

you sound a lot more cheerful you must be feeling better. how are those two foals getting on ? Is the mare alright who lost hers ?

we have not heard fom Yvonne or Lady or Sue people are going missing. ?

even Stephen is not as active on here. perhaps Mrs Stephen told him off for going on here and negelecting his work in the house lol

Does anyone watch the BBC 2 programme "An Island Parish" it is about Father John Paul on an isle in Scotland it is way up in the higlands it is on a friday night at 7.30 well worth a look at.

I was watching flog it on Tv a littel while ago and elderly scottish couple had an old brown vase miss shaped as well brown glazed they took it to an Auction house and it rasied £44.000 they did not seem to show any surprise I think they were in a state of shock good luck to them

Rita

but i read you are haveing some problems rita
well what ever it is it must be doing the rounds

im just wondering what to do for dinner it will be some think quick
and easy just like me PMSL

Evening All,

Went to work this morning in a BLIZZARD !

Came home from work this evening in a RAIN STORM

Wind gusting at around 65mph.

Time for coffee and a relax.

Rita I watched the first one of the Island Parish and last week I got the time wrong!
What's happened to Fluffy PawsStephen. I saw last night snow was forecasted for Scotland. I hate the stuff!
I'm going to do yesterday's washing up and read. I' ve got quite a few books now. catch you all later x

Hi Stephen.....be glad you haven't got a hurricane like OZ .

(__)? nice cuppa for you......see I do think of you ..

Rita ....the operation is anytime after two months , and that suits Pete fine as are going away again.

I have just been to a pub for my dinner.....had Chicken Tikka .
Didn't get back from the hospital in time to cook .....and that's my story and sticking to it ...LOL

Gosh Patrica ...you don't half read a lot ....puts me to shame ..

Jean...... I take it that name grushi means MONEY ????

Hi ya all.
Look, I have got my lappy back, it's a lot quicker in loading now, thank goodness.

What products did the hospital give you to try Linda.

Marilyn, Maddie popped in the other day, and said she had a few family problems to sort out,and would be back as soon as possible.
I hope things are o.k with them all.

Jean, I have not heard from my brother yet,about my nephew. I will give him a little time to eat his dinner,and then ring him,to see what M has decided.
I have not been following the Big Gypsy wedding programme. I did see the one last year, but that was on a night when Roly was out,and I could chose what I wanted to watch on t.v. There is no way he would be interested.
Can I ask Jean, did your great grandmother have one of those lovely painted wagons,drawn by a horse.
My D.I.L'S sister and her family, have got a beautiful modern van. Oooh it's so lovely, I am envious of her.

Rita I hope you saved me some of that rice pudding yummy.

What has happened to Stephen, I know he said he had got a busy week
ahead of him.
But it's not like him to be missing for such a long period.

Hi to everyone I have not mentioned.

Oh good grief, see it takes me so long to type my posts,that you have all appeared,and gone again no doubt.

Child-free/adults only flights may be available soon. Do you think it will catch on?

Possibly, some people go on child-free holidays, so they might appreciate child-free travel as well.

Mo, I have the same problem if I type a long post.

Never mind, at least your lappy is quick now.
