Agarha I tried looking for books by M.C.Beaton but the library didn't have any. Going to get tea now and then read. I've got 3 weeks in which to read these books but there is a Bank Holiday in between. :-)

	Before matches were invented, how did yobos set fire to upturned cars outside Bristol superstores?

	Dermot, the yobbos in those days used to rub two sticks together. Of course the cars in those days were made of wood, no rubber or petrol or anything like that. (Think the Flintstones) :D Huia.

	Morning all, apologies for my absence last night, went out for a meal with OH's brother and his wife. Got back later than intended and was too tired to put computer on. Looks like another lovely day here, I could get used to this weather :D I have a few bits to do in the garden and then I want to spend some time on family tree. Yesterday after a year of searching, I finally had my uncles death in 1931 aged 11 confirmed by a cousin who visited the cemetery (in Belfast)where I knew he was and found that he's actually buried with my great grandparents. The bonus being that I now know also their dates of death, grave number etc. Cousin will hopefully forward a photo of headstone as well. Have a good day folks, <3 Cath xx

	Morning all, it's a bit nippy here today........ blowing a gale as usual. Well done Cath, it's great when you find something you've been looking for for ages. No wonder your little witch looks very happy today. Well done to Shelly as well, are you feeling any healthier Shelly? Linda, it wears me out just listening to what you do....... don't you ever just sit down and do nothing? Mo, I can't believe all the things they tell young mothers to do and not do. I think the best advice they can get is from their mother and grandmother (and great gran of course) because they know they've done it all before and did a good job of it. Rita, you're half way there with the profile picture, if you'd double clicked on the butterfly - it would have taken you back to your account page. Have you tried to type in the places you're researching? It's on your account page under the man-photo. Marilyn, I took advantage of that 3 for £10 offer, the wine I get is usually £7.99 a bottle so at 3 for £10........... I stocked up on it.

	This one is for our Dermot. By the time a man is wise enough to watch his step, he is too old to go anywhere. Rita

	Morning everyone, its dull here today, I think the sun is trying to put in an appearance though. I have been looking for my mums cousin for ages, and had no luck finding her marriage, or if she had children, when last night a relative of hers got back to me to say she was a poor Clare nun in Dublin, thats why there was no marriage. Just got some Daisy Dalrymple books so will be reading those, and making a chicken curry for dinner tonight, but not at the same time and looking forward to the Eurovision tonight, do you think we will win ?

	Marilyn I hope the weather stay fine for the BBQ I go to St Lukes Cancer hospital here in Surrey. they have a couple of hospices in the area. I did some washing this morning well 2 dresses and two half slips it got so windy I got them all dry except the collar of one of the dresses. I went shopping to Waitrose I was so surprised the shop was half empty no queues nothing I dont know where the shoppers were.? mind you there has been alot of complaints from some of the shoppers as they have rasied their prices not by a few pence but by much more so many people are now going to Morrisons or Sainsburys or Tesco's. I also noticed a lot of the mangers have left and new ones appear. so I dont know what is going on. I wonder how Stephen is . did he leave a baby sitter for his bagpipes. lol It is overcast here we have a forcaste of rain and storms later this afternoon.. me no like storms. Rita <3 ;-)

Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 4 590 Send Message	Hi everyone. Can you all please check out the following site, as my grandaughter Lilly has been entered for the baby competition on here. www.babyfacecompetition.co.uk. Go to 0 to 6months and type in Lilly in search bar, then go to page three, she is the last baby at the bottom of the page. I hope everyone is o.k, and that the weather is kinder to you,than it is to us here at the moment. It's blowing a gale, and looks like it's going to throw it down with rain at any minute.
