Thanks for the cuppa Pauline, just what the doctor ordered, a good pick me up.
I be you felt like screaming, when the bottle of lemonade was spilt on the carpet. Oooh eck, what a pickle to have been in.
I didn't have any problems getting onto the site this time, but have had problems in the past.

We are having a lazy afternoon, but have been shopping this morning.
It was quite pleasant outside, not nearly as chilly as it has been.

Hope everyone is o.k.

Pauline I sorted my pink photo's I tried different things none worked so I changed the colour cartridge and then it flashed to tell me I needed to change the black as well.
so I have done that.

My sister in Law Diana sent a message to me through facebook and said shw didnt know I went to Duddenhill Girls school she went as well (a lot later then I did.)
she has asked me to do her some of the things I am working on Wilesden so I am busy printing all I have done so far. so that two lots I am doing one is for my friend 75 years friendship.

Marilyn Mike emailed me to say he is feeling a little better today he has an infection where they removed a metal clip but he has cut down his pain killers
. He said to tell you a big Thank you for lighting the candle for him he is sure that it is the postive thinking and candles being lit that has help him to recover.he still has along way to go but is getting there.

Afternoon All !

It's too hot in here ROFL

Parts arrived....Job Done and Dusted.
'Give us the tools and we'll do the job ourselves'.

Pauline,
Drink on the carpet.!
A friend was having a house warming in his brand new house.
A woman DELIBERATELY turned a glass of Red Wine upside down onto the beige coloured carpet.
Dr Bill was normally a very quiet easy going fellow......he exploded....threw the woman bodily out of the house.along with her hubby.

Catch you later.

Marilyn
you may call yourself British but you fly the union Jack the English Flag. not the Welsh one or the Irish one or the Scots one

we are only British when we are all grouped together.

We have St George's day with the English Flag flying
The Irish have their day
The Welsh theirs
and Scotland theirs .

Lol

If I fill a form in that asks for my nationality ..........I put British, but I think of myself as English - not British. Is England a nation? I think of it as a country - not a nation. We have a national anthem - so I suppose we must be a nation. In that case - my nationality is English.

Glad you got your printer sorted Rita, are your inks very expensive?

Mo, I got straight on to the site this time but this morning it was ridiculous. I had to log-in if I wanted to read a thread and log-in again when I clicked off the thread.

Shelly, can you not put a rug over the part of the floor that's wearing? Not worth spending any money on it when you won't be there long.

Marilyn, better get another whip at the shops, yours must be worn out by now.

Well done Stephen, Mrs Stephen is lucky having a handy man at home.

I bet that woman with the red wine doesn't get invited to many parties.

Did you get your ticket Pat?

Rita, we should get a holiday for St, George's Day.

With so many Bank Holidays this year, thank goodness for the ATMs.

Question - when there is a batch of three ATMs together, why do so many people use the middle one? I like to observe peculiar human habits like this!
