Good Morning All.

Bright and sunny again. Hurrah.

Brekkie ready when you are.

Tea, coffee, juice. [_]? [_]? [_]? [_]? [_]?

Boiled eggs and soldiers.

Toast and jam or marmalade

Cereal, eggs and bacon.

Birds are singing, and one is annoyingly chirrupping. :-) :-)

Trust Linda is feeling better.

Hope all goes well Rita. Take care everyone else.

See you later.

Morning Maddie
All is well here too. Sun is up and the world looks brighter, so much nicer.
Well hubby helped to finish stripping the bedroom, and youngest too when she popped in last night. So much easier with help. Need to go to the DIY now and chose paper for the wall behind the bed, and matching paint for the other walls. The paper we took off was awful to strip, so won't be papering all again.
Dress nearly finished Mo, it is pretty but a lot of knitting, shame I have to wait for a baby to be born for it !!!!

The medicine seems to be working so going for a walk with hubby soon, before he goes off to work again.

Hope all goes well at the hospital Rita and for your son in law too.

Have a good day everyone

Linda :-) <3

Morning girls

it is sunny at the moment even this time in the morning.but we have a cloud heading this way.
I woke at 5 and could not get back to sleep too much on my mind.
Stephen I have come across alot of the Scottish names have come from Ireland orignally I was told McCallums had something to do with the people who moved from ireland to Scotland McCallum is spelt with a U and ours with an A Mum use to tell me that. dont forget when your writing the name it is an A and not U
I find more with a U than and A. in Scotland. but in Canaida there are lots of McCallums with the A,
I bet Scarlette will love her day with Max and Star.

Back from my walk, hubby came too.

It is beautiful out there and everything looks fresher for the rain.

Did anyone see the report that a study is being done on Swinley Forest(Crowthorne) to see what trees to plant where we had such devistation? Hopefully they will plant with fire breaks and maintain them as that appears to have been some of the problem.

Be back later

Linda :-) <3 <3 <3

It is a nightmare for me to get on I go on site and get a blank page and keep having to go to the top to the arrows and mess about.

Morning Folks !!

Pat it is a bit dull but the sun does keep peeping through......so fingers crossed .

Shelly you need lots of brownie points, so clever to give up your ciggies what with all you have done over the last few weeks, of course your bound to put weight on ..I did ...but you will loose it gradually week by week as the food is your ciggies now :-S

I'm also cutting down, I have gone without lunch for a couple of days now as its the bread that makes me put on weight. I have a good breakfast of cereals with loads of fruit, and somehow that fills me up until tea time /dinner .If I'm a teeny weeny bit hungry I have a Muesli bar from any super store, my ones are from Lidl.

Rita ....I don't sleep when I go to bed early ...I watch telly programs that Pete has taped for me while we have been away in comfort. :-D

Linda..... glad your feeling better, still don't know how you fit everything in your days !!

It's really hard trying to post something on here at the moment........... it takes ages to get the pages up.

Shelly, you must have a lot of will power to be able to give up smoking as quickly as that........... did your daughter do as well as you did? I've never smoked but I've seen other people struggle to give it up.

Good luck for today Rita, hope it all goes well.

I can see the faces on Linda's posts, they look normal on my lappy.

Linda, you seem to be back to your normal self now but don't overdo it.

Marilyn, it must take you ages to catch up on programmes after you've been away.

Mo, Brent's fine thanks, no problems at the moment........ so far.

~~~~~~~~~~~ to everyone, hope you all have a good day.

Stevey....

I think you ought to get that marriage cert for more details ....I have been looking in all sorts of avenues for death of Edna Elizabeth Barr & remarriages . NOTHING !!!!!

She was middle aged when she married Joseph Barr IF you think you have her birth correct.....so me thinks she was married before ...... :-S

Pauline I also watched the embarrassing bodies last night.... wow did anyone see that man that had 6stone of his belly cut out !! :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S
How no doctor could ever have turned a blind eye on him I'll never know ,If it was not for that program he would still have that huge weight to carry around with him ....poor man.

I'm looking at some ironing that keeps asking me iron LOL

I've got some ironing to do as well, Marilyn, but I can easily look the other way as I walk past it... :-D

I'm going shopping instead......... much better than ironing.

I didn't see that programme... :-S

That was the quickest I have been in and out on an appointment at The Royal Surrey Hospital. we arrived half and hour early as I had to go and get three lots of blood samples done. then we went injto the waiting room within 10 minutes Professor Pandha called me in . he looked through my file and said dont worry you missed the scan Rita I will arrang another one to be done before I see you again in three months time September
He said I had been stable for the last five scans so I sjh0ould not worry unless I had any pain then to contact him right away. then I was out and my son said youve been quick no traffic on the road so it took us 25 minutes to get home.
so I am pleased with myself.
