I've been up ages Shelly, just too busy to put the lappy on.

Shelly, what version of Firefox are you using, is it 3.6 or 4?

I've just updated mine to 4 and it's not compatible with some of the things on Norton. When I Google anything now I don't get any warnings about unsafe sites.

It's bright and sunny here but blowing a gale, not as cold as yesterday but the wind is just as strong.

Morning all.

I got friends coming today so I'm going to be a buzzing bee all day.
Got to make a pudding as we are having Fish & Chips from Lid?l's.

Pauline... Pete was not too happy with the format on updating to 4 it is was his personal choice not to......I don't understand it its gobbley goo to me LOL

Cath when are you going on holiday ?

Its Raining here not nice at all .....Pat its on its way up to you .

Shelly... you are right about the Kids down loading crap Pete has to clean all the kids computers on a regular basis.

Rita how are you today ?

Hope everyone else is in good heath ..... got to get cracking now ...

"Rain rain go away,
Come again another day".

{Childrens' rhyme.)

morning I am quiet giddy and feel unwell I have phoned for the doctor to come .it is my head that is the problem I find I am feeling faint and falling about when I stand up suddenly.

Rita

Rita,
I hope you feel better soon x

Oh my lord Rita, I hope the doctor turns up soon. It sounds like the tinnitus has upset the balance in your ears, and is causing you to get Vertigo symptoms.

Hi ya Pat. Are you at work today, I bet this is your lunch hour.

Hi Mo,
Yes it's my lunch hour!

Afternoon friendlies,
Rita that doesn't sound too good. I wonder with all the ear trouble you've had if it could be Labrynthitis, a friend of mine suffers from that and it makes him wobbly and giddy. Hope the doctor can sort it out for you.
Marilyn I'm off next wednesday and no Stephen I'm not taking a body, lol.
Jean we usually see lots of horse drawn caravans (cant remember proper name) around the Wicklow mountains, they are beautifully painted.Scarlett sounds adorable and I bet Mo's Lilly is growing fast as well.
Hope everyone is well,

Cath xx

Abortion Act (1967 - )
Think Again. * (Elizabeth Holland).

I hear you whisper, although I cannot see.
Are you deciding - no future for me.
Planning murder to end my short life?
From what I now hear, the end is in sight.

I don’t want to die before I have lived.
Give me some hope, I have so much to give.
To the childless couple, who try in vain,
They’d give me a home; you could live life again.

God gave a hand, this seed He did sow,
For some special purpose, you may never know.
If you carry on with this evil plan,
I may not live to become a woman or man.

How will you feel when my birthday comes each year,
When I’m not around, when I’m not so near?
Will you feel the pain?; will you grieve & cry?
No grave to visit & only you know why.

Please think again; don’t judge in haste.
My precious life, please do not waste.
Give me a chance to see the changing seasons
And I’m sure I could give you a million reasons.

To let me live to play my part,
I’ll let you see I have a mind & heart.

Dear God, please find me a place to hide
Until they come to their senses.
Don’t chide; just whisper softly in their ear each night.
Tell them straight; this just isn’t right.

Make them see sense before it’s too late.
Think again; I’ve got time to wait.

Yes Dermot,
Life is precious.

I've just seen the man on the news stealing clothes from a Clothing bank. Whatever next!

Dermot very thought provoking and sad. All children are a gift.

Hello all.
No news from Rita yet, I do hope she is o.k, and that the doctor has managed to get to see her.

As Cath said Dermot, very thought provoking.

Maddie, you deserve the break, after all the hours you put in before christmas. Enjoy yourself, and get some well earned rest.

Hi Jeniwren,me Mora. Lilly is coming along beautifully. It's so lovely when babies try talking to you, isn't it. Lilly was chuckling away to me the other day, and her mum couldn't believe it, as she had never done it before.
It's good to hear about little Scarlett starting to walk now, you will need eyes up your BTM, she will be into everything.
It sounds like you had a lovely weekend roaming the country lanes, good on you girl, thats what I say, enjoy it whilst you can.

Evening
I too am hoping that Rita is OK and that the Dr has seen her.

Went into Bracknell this morning looking for a leaving gift for Little M knew exactly what i wanted and blow me down the wretched shop has closed and gone away !!! Now have to go to Winchester as it is the next nearest one !! Oh well hubby said we could go on Sunday as it is the Farmers Market too.

Have been making inroads into a family link and getting onto my tree for the last couple of days.

Finished the cardigan just need to sew it up and pit on the buttons

Hope evryone is Ok

Linda :o) XxX

Phew !! Finally tracked down a birth, I've been searching for a year. Wretched man went by his second name and was born in India not Ireland. No wonder it took a while to find him. Just got to find his marriage now and I know that was in Ireland but not where.
Hope everyone is well and we get news of Rita soon.
Will say good night now as early start at work tomorrow,

Cath xx

Hi just a quickie the doctor phoned me and then came to see me at 1 oclock. she threw all my antibiotics out and gave me some new ones that I need only take two a day for three days.these are special.
she also gave me some little tablets to stop me feeling so giddy and some sleeping tablets.I was in tears she gave me a cuddle.

The man upstairs took the perscriptions to the chemist he did his shopping then went back to Boots chemist where they handed him two tablets for me to be going on with the other four he gets tomorrow..I give up on that chemist.

I have been having emails from my son Mike he is in a state so
depressed he is having some bad days. he goes to see the consultant thursday to see what his scan showed on his one good kidney.
He said Mum if the results are not good then thats my life gone.

I felt like having a cry for him. he really needs a break now.I hope he gets good news.

hope everyone is Ok good night.
Rita

Hi Shelly
No Little M is going to live in Singapore with her parents as Daddy has been offered a job there !!!
I was at the point of giving up the childminding at the end of April anyway and the timing is good for both of us.

So after nearly 25 years I will be retiring and taking some me time until hubby retires too.

Linda :o) XxX

linda its going to take some time for you to get use to have no little ones around.

Morning everyone,
just a quick look in before I go to work.
Rita I hope those tablets work fast and you are soon feeling a whole lot better, will be thinking of Mike on thursday and hoping he gets good news.
Marilyn thanks for the lovely email, made me smile.
Shelly my youngest is also the messiest and shes 20.
Hope you all have a good day,

Cath xx

Hello everyone, hope you all had a peaceful night. according to the weather forecast we are going to have 3 warm, sunny days, but as we all know forecasters can be wrong so will wait a while before putting washing out to dry.
I do hope Rita will be feeling better today, she seems to have had a really bad year so far.
Cath, the horse drawn caravans are Vardos, and yes they are usually painted in bright colours and the decoration on them is done with gold leaf. I have often thought about hiring one in Ireland for a holiday, there are several places who hire them out, and I have never been to Irelnd.
Mo, I love it when babies start trying to talk, Scarlett can say 5 words, Dada, Nana, cat, Max [our cats name] and her favourite word, NO, she shakes her head when she says that. I have been told it is time I stopped travelling the roads, too old, and my health given as reasons, but guess what, I will stop travelling when I'm in a wooden box.

Breakfast anyone?

cereal, or fruit,
bacon, eggs,sausage, mushrooms all on hotplate.
toast, hot rolls or crumpets
tea, coffee or juice, or mint tea for anyone who likes it.

Marilyn, Maddie, Patricia, Pauline, Linda, Shelly, Rita, Yvonne, Stephen and Dermot hope you are ok, hope I haven't forgotten anyone,

Have a good day everyone, take care and stay safe.
Jean xx
