LOL, are you having a problem Sally? I think you may have to delete a couple of dozen of your posts.

There's obviously a problem with the site, I wonder how many times my post will come up.

Stephen, sorry I missed your wife's birthday, will you give her my belated wishes?

Poor woman will be shattered after mixing all that cement........... LOL

Jean, sounds like you had a lovely time, I'm pleased you got good weather for your trip.

I'm really pleased to hear your spirits have been lifted Rita, you've been very down lately. It is lovely to have your family around you isn't it?

I don't have a ceramic hob but my mother had one, the rings light up red when they're on - that's how you know where to put your pans. They are very easy to keep clean, but I like gas for my hob. I have an electric oven but a gas hob.

It's freezing today, it was cold yesterday as well.


Edit:........ I'm pleased to say - my post only came up once.

Hi All.
Sally .......please don't waste paper..LOL ...or did you have your finger stuck on the send button .... I thought my eyes had gone funny glad I don't need to go and get new glasses !!

Yes GR had it all to themselves this morning I could not get on until now, I want a rebate ..

I'm off to hospital for Check up ...

Hi to Pauline.....have you eaten any of Brent's Easter Eggs yet ?

I tried to get on site but it would not let me . now I know why ? they said they had an error on the site and needed to sort it out, hence my email to Marilyn to tell her why I was not on line. but she appears not to have been able to get on either.

Sally of our Alley you need to delete all but one of your readings you sound like you enjoyed the day ? we have rough weather this morning in saying that I mean cold but this afternoon the sun came out and it has got warmer. the garderns came and mowed the lawns and the smell of grass was wonderful not good for people with allegies., My sister suffers from Hay fever and she would have been out of breath by now.


Rita

I WENT ONTO ONE OF MY TREE PERSMISSION AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN. OUT OF DEVILMENT I TRIED AOTHER TREE AND THAT WILL NOT OPEN SO IT IS NOT ONLY MY RELAIONS TREE IT IS OTHERS AS WELL.

Rita

I've been shopping today.
I got a hat to wear to my god-daughter's wedding. it doesn't look too stupid!
what with my suit and this hat , this is the poshest I've ever been! Who knows,I might even get chatted up!-lol

Sally you gave me a big laugh when I scrolled down and got your message again and again and again I did that once only it printed it three times. on that occassion I hit submit and it didnt so I hit submit again it didnt move so I tried again and it went the only things was three went.

did everyone send off their census ? I heard someone say they had not sent theirs yet ? I wondered if anyone will get a fine for not posting theirs off. ?

I have been listening to the news and on boiling point. talking about paying to walk through our parks or running they must be mad. we will be charged for beathing soon.many of us brought plots of land for burying family on now they throw soil on top of the graves and bury someone else and charge them for that land.
what a dam cheek.

jumps down off her orange box,

Rita
then they were on about Immagrants who could not speak English being on the jury. what happens when they have to read evidence and cannot read the English.

Rita - reading does not appear to be a UK accomplishment in schools anymore.

The fairly recent decision by the authorities to 'give away' thousands of books seems to have fallen a bit flat. The demand was poor so I'm told.

I heard that as well Dermot. they went onto readers group on Tv and asked why more people did not take up the free books offer as they expected many more to do that.
One person said perhaps if they had been in their own countries language, they would have all gone . The Host said the idea was to get the children to read and learn English and be interested in books

Rita

I got a free book- my sister took part in this scheme. I've got a copy of "All Quiet On The Western Front"

hello all iv not done much today just been shoping and doing house work

i had soup for dinner so dont no now what im doing the rest of this lot

Hoo Flippin Ray, I have managed to get into the site at last. They must have been doing some fault finding, but couldn't find the fault for the amount of times I tried to get on.

It's lovely to hear that you had a good time on your travels Jeniwren. Will you be off again this weekend,as it's another bank holidaay, and plus the Wedding of the year on Friday. Or are you going to be watching the celebrations on the t.v.

Sally, I have always wanted to go on the ferry across the Mersey. Ever since Gerry and the Pacemakers, bought it to our attention with their song.
Shows how much I know, I didn't even realise that they had a tunnel under the river either. So thank you for enlightening me. How long ago was it built, probably years ago.

Oh Rita what a lovely surprise you had, with all the family being around you.
I hope you didn't spend all your lottery win at one go. But it's still £10.00 more than we got.

Pauline, my mum had an electric cooker. The only problem was, she used to think she had turned the rings off, but hadn't, and it turned onto full instead. Oh so many times she had left a tea towel on the top of the stove, and it caught alight. Thank god she had a smoke alarm. But when the dementia set in, she became a danger to herself, and others who lived in the sheltered housing accomodation.
We had to get her a microwave oven instead, and get the cooker removed from the flat.
Thats another reason for my preferring gas, at least you know it is turned off.

Marilyn I hope your hospital visit went well, and that everything is o.k.

Pat what type of hat did you buy. And what is the colour of your outfit.

I wonder where Cath has got to. She can't still be doing her washing surely.

How's the diet going Shelly. How much weight have you lost now.

Mo the hat I got was one of those things of a band type of thing. It has a flower and some feathers. I felt comfortable wearing it.. It's black/dark brown and my outfit is grey with a pink top underneath. I'm no fashion icon. I don't like shopping! I much prefer to buy books! My attitude is that it'll do!!!

Hope it doesn't clash with Kate's outfit! (Bottom left.)

I have along way to go yet but i need an outfit for my Granddaughters wedding in September. my sister and I have booked a hotel for a week. might as well make a holiday out of it ? My daughter said we can take you there Mum as we have booked a cottage for ten days but we have to use the train to come back. so my daughter and Son in Law Steve will be on holiday with us.
but what will I wear and old dear like me. dont want to go mutton dressed as lamb. lol
Mo this cooker I am thinking about has a light that lights up the hob bit when it is on and goes off when all the hot plates are off..
I had one when I moved here but there was only one hob that lite up red to showed you that ring was on the others you had to take a chance I brought a set of four stainless still lids to cover them incase they remained hot too the trouble was one was left on and it smelt I knew then it was ruine it turned a funny colour so I turned the knob off and left the cover on.incase someone touched it while it was still hot.

Rita

Pat, your hat sounds like a Fascinator (sp). There are some really lovely ones available now.
At one time the only thing you could buy was proper hats. And I am not a hat person, but had to get a hat for both my son and my daughters weddings. Oh not a good idea, my big hat got blown away by the wind at my daughters wedding.
And at my sons, as it was still the winter months, I had a black hat with a leopard print band around it, and I sweated buckets. Never ever again will I wear a hat, apart from a sunhat maybe.

Mo, this shows my ignorance. I googled it and yes it is! i wondered how the hats stayed on the head and now I know! i got it from D.....hams. This was the last shop I looked in. It feels comfortable!

Having acquired many 'time saving devices', what am I to do now with all my spare time?

Read Dermot!

Boys love girls for what they are.
Girls love boys for what they promise to be.

Fact or fiction?
(Top right).

Don't know Dermot!
I've got no faith in romance. Been there,worn the T shirt, got bitten and I can't remember the answer!
