Evening all,

I hope you've all had a good day today.

Done some gardening, well just tidying up really.
Cut the grass and pulled out all the weeds from the flower beds.
Felt a bit of an idiot, knelt down pulling out the weeds and had a real problem getting up again...lol. think I need a couple of good legs...lol.

I have just tried on a dress that I supposed to taking on holiday but I'm in doubt about it .......I found some bumps around me waist so not sure about that dress now, I could go buy a corset .....but no....... I don't think Pete would appreciate that ..LOL
Oh What a dilemma ..

I AM BACK, and you never guess what I did, my aunt said instead of renewing my GR membership, I should join Ancestry, so I agreed as she said it was much better, well I joined for a year with the premium membershipI think it was called and then started to do my tree on there and I did'nt like it at all, so today I cancelled my Ancestry membership and they gave me a full refund, and I rejoined GR, and I am glad to be back, and am enjoying searching for ancesters again, I do not have many on my tree yet, I have them all in a refill pad, so I have decided to start adding them now before I search for more, I hope you are all OK, have I missed much?
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Hi George .

I wondered when you were going to pop in.

Your as bad as me....

I got onto my kitchen stool today to find something on my top shelf and could'nt get back down again ..LOL
I yelled for help, Pete was in the shower....so I slowly had to take my time in getting down....oh it would have made a great photo .LOL

Think I'll get Pete to get things from the top shelf in future .

Oooh look Agatha's back with us hooray. Welcome home, please don't leave us again we missed ya.

George, I am lucky I have got raised flower beds, and pots with flowers in, not so far to bend down now thank goodness.
The weeds have gone beserk with the rain that fell on them, but the flowers loved it.

Marilyn, was you climbing on a chair to reach the top of the kitchen units. Silly girl, you know you should use a small ladder for that, heights dont agree with you, you giddy girl you.

My friend being the same age is also gutted at having to wait as her hubby has his and when they board the bus with his bus pass his smirk irritates her ..LOL that's life I guess.

Morning all

Hope you both have a good day in London George and Foggy, watch out for pickpockets - 'cos you'll never be able to run after them. Why has Foggy not been back on the thread, doesn't he know that you can't leave this thread once you've been on it? It's against our rules.

Marilyn, I didn't know you had a resident's AGM, didn't think anyone lived near you.

Pat, if you go back to bed............. that doesn't count as being first up.... :-D :-D

Maddie, just put it up on the thread if you get stuck, there's plenty of us here to look it up for you.

That goes for anyone else who needs a hand, if we can help........... we will.

Agatha, nice to see you came back, now don't go leaving us again.

Mo, why the ringer??? I'm confused! :-S :-S

Where's Rita, Dermot and Cath this morning?

Hi I'm back....

AGM OK ...Pauline we have to have a management team within our complex of a few other Barns as we have our own street lighting & treatment works that we pay for, also the lane road has to be tarmac every 10yrs as the tractor from the farm uses it so much so the farmer has to pay us for using it ..Also have to have a gardener to cut the common land surrounding the Barns.

We have rules about dogs have to be on leads while passing each Barn so not to annoy other folks gardens.....then they are allowed to run riot in the fields around us ....all proper rules :-D LOL

I have only been in 2 mins and phone goes....so got my friend calling in for coffee....

I AM STILL AROUND. LATE THIS MORNING AS YOU CAN See???????

I went into the laundryroom to see if there was a vacancey for the washing machine as I have the dentist monday and have to call into the doctors first to collect a form. so I did the laundry his morning instead of monday. I had written my name in the book and came in to find my younest son sitting here I never expected to see him today. so I made some tea and he had a cake we chatted away inbetween I was running into the laundry to put the washing in the Dryer. he left here about 11 oclock . so I didnt log on until I did the little jobs I needed to do,.
so I have not had a chance to read back. as to whatr happened to Marilyn falling of a chair and what has happened to Linda. ?
Pleased that Agatha is still with us,.
Hope George has alovely day in London. although they might get wet weather ? it has started to rain here only spitting so far.

Sidmouth Folk Festival was a smashing event as usual - especially the Irish groups.

Pitty it's all over now for another year.
