I've had a rubbish day at work. I was learning something new on a rubbish computer which was very slow :-( :-( :-(
Chicken curry for tea now :-)
Not much on telly. Going to spend my evening with the Vampires :-D :-D :-D

Watch they don't bite your neck Pat. LOL

Dermot I would loved to have seen you in black knickers
.
we didnt have shop brought meals either nothing was every thrown away. batter pudding made to go with a small piece of lamb on a sunday or a small piece of beef was a luxury that was made in a large tin and half eaten the rest was used next day to go with the bubble and squeak or hot jam poured over it as a dessert which was a treat to my sister and I,The cold lamb or beef went with the bubble and squeak
we had things like meat pudding made in a basion most was veg.we had bacon pudding made the same way. tea was rationed so after we used the tea it was dried on a piece of newspaper on the cooker grill and mixed with two teaspons of fresh tea leaves.
we had so much toast which either had beans on , pilchards. or egg.
mince was used to make most meals 1 1/2 lbs was used for the rest of the week in some form or other this fed four of us.. it was lucky the day Mum went into the butchers to buy a lb of sauages the butcher knew we had a dog so we got a big marrow bone needless to say broth was made out of that before the dog got the bone.The dog ate any left overs of our meals and he was well looked after.
The best thing was Dad had a little alloment so we had lots of veg. and nothing was wasted,

Hi Barbra welcome to the thread

i dont remember the black board rubber being chuck at me cos i would if chuck it back and that i would of remembered

we must of been well posh
we had a inside loo
but i can remember my nanny and all my aruntis had out side loos

Shelly, if you'd done that in our school - you would have had swollen hands for days, they loved using the cane on us. And yes, I did get the cane.... quite a few times. It was always a misunderstanding of course...... because I was an angel - hence the wings.

Forgot to tell Barbara........... I'm the angelic one.

Marilyn, put .co.uk on the end of that web address.

We always had an inside loo and a bathroom, but my grandmother had an outside loo and a poss tub and mangle in the yard. She had a gas mantle as well.

Marilyn that is one of my favourite meals Liver and Onions.

we had a tin bath that hung on the wall outside in the little yard and I had an iron mangle a big heavy one and a stone copper with a grate underneath to do my washing in.


Rita

pauline i was a wild child no way the teachers would of caned me
i wouldent of let them

by the time i was in cecondery school the caine was craped

Evening All.

Just managed to get on the puter. We are all pushing each other out of the way to get on.

I sent you all an e-mail this morning, but Marilyn said there was nothing on it. LOL

Will try and send it again. It really is very funny. Well it made me laugh.

Back later.

Hope everyone is ok.

edit. resent email. Heres hoping.

She was right there was nothing on that email not even a dancing man Lol

Shelly I think you meant the cane was scrapped not crapped. on the other hand perhaps it was crap lol

one of my sons was smacked round the head by his headmaster and my son had a peferated ear drum.he didnt tell me what had happened. some one told me when I went to collect him from school ( he had a doctors appointment) so I asked him why was he smacked ? he was accused of something he didnt do . both my son and another boy in the class had red hair and it was the other kid that did it. smashed a window .. so I went in to tell the headmaster off .. he hit my son around his ear.which was red. He heard me talking to the teacher. and went in his room and locked his door.
so I banged on the door shouting to him to open the door.
in the end he had too. the other tearchers were standing watching I could have hit him? but I didnt I told him I was reporting him for hitting my son knowing he had a perforated ear drum and that he had hit the wrong boy.

He said he was sorry he had alot on his mind and lost his temper. I told him when my husband finds out he better wear a helmet to school.and he should not be teaching if he could not control his temper.

After that he was as nice as pie to me and my son. when my son passed the scholarship with the highest points he was spouting out what a good scholar he was and he always worked hard..

Rita

Sweet dreams,

P.S Dermot loved the True bear story. :-D

Ah Good Morning All.

Not so bright, but at least it is dry.

Well done the 5 mile run again over the fields. Saw a few boxers in training, running along punching the air. Also saw a few pigs flying along the clouds. Decided to push it a bit further this morning and jumped into the pond for a refreshing dip. Oh yes, this training is going well. I shall be more than fit for the tri-athlon next year. Puffs.

[_]? [_]? [_]? [_]?[_]?

Tea, coffee, juice.

Detox drink. Do try some, sea-weed, green algea, lots of vitamins.

Cereals, toast and jam.

Lean bacon, poached eggs, grilled tomatoes.

Oh yes, I feel so fit now, I could go back to bed.

Hope everyone is well, take care.

See you later.
<3

LETTER OF THE YEAR:-

Dear Mother-in-Law

Please don't try to tell me how to raise my children - I'm married to one of yours and, believe me, there's room for improvement!

Sincerely
Your Son-in-Law

I wonder who the mother-in-law was that the first mother-in-law joke was written about ?
Did you post it Dermot?LOL

Brilliant Dermot. Morning to you.

advice Agatha your going to the nurse this morning who is there to help you. so if you are suffering from High Blood pressure it is better they find out and you know, as it can be treated. no good finding out when the damage is done.
stokes accure with hight blood pressure if not found out and treated.

Morning to you. let us know how you get on.

Rita
