Evening, MotownGal,Rita, MO, Marilyn Agatha, Linda and anyone else who just might be looking in.

Been out with my son and family all day today, he gave me a surprise visit, brilliant.

We all went to the New Forest, saw the horses, then had lunch.
They left to go home about 9pm, have had a great day.
Son hasn't been able to get flights into Javier airport,
so he is going to try Alicante, fingers crossed.

Hope everyone has had a great day today.

Well, good morning everyone. What an aggravation trying to get onto this thread :-P :-P :-P
Jean best of luck with your treatment this week, hope all goes well and you don't feel too bad afterwards. Thinking of you <3
Its a bit overcast here and I think we are going to get a downpour later, great :-(
Spent most of yesterday working on my tree. Lots of my ancestors on my dads side are from Somerset so spent most of my time looking up records on the Somerset OPC site.
Hope everyone is well, Maddie hope K is ok and his poor knees get some improvement.
Have a good day folks,

Cath xx <3

Morning everyone

It was sad to read of Deanna dying, but at least she is not suffering.

Cath what part of Somerset are your Dads side. there is a Somset Family History Society, I use to belong to it. but dropped out when I had finished my Somerset connections, but they do search for you. it does not cost much they did some for me a NAME search. I can look in some of my back magazines for you, and see if I can find anything. I have about four years back.If you tell me the name one of your might have cropped up.

The sun is out at the moment although we have been advised rain later. I have just got my washing together as I and down for 9 o'clock to do my washing in our laundroom

Good luck for today Jean my love.

Rita

Morning All
Bright so far this morning
I have ironing and research on the plans for today so far.

Hubby cleared up last night after our guests had left, but he went to work at 5:00 this morning so I have the dishwasher to empty. Not bad after a meal for 6 though.
Have it all again this weekend as my brothers are coming.

So sad to read of the two deaths this morning , Brenda's husband and Deanna. I have added my condolences.

Have a nice day everyone

Thinking of Jean and hope it is not as bad as before

Linda :-) <3 :-) <3 :-) <3

Morning everybody.

I'm going to have a catch up on the thread................ well, I'll read some of the posts, it would take me all day to read them all.

:-D :-D

Morning All,

Hi Pauline soooooo gooooood to seeeeeeee yooooooo BACK ! :-D

Hope you have enjoyed your hols .

Mo....glad you cleared that wedding saga up ! :-S

Linda.... I had eight for dinner last night, and boy am I glad I got a dish washer.and a floor washer ..PETE !!
My Dad got told off by his wife for walking in the garden without her while she was out having her hair done, mind you he is frail now and has a walking stick......next thing I knew he was crying !! oh dear I said to my step mother he only wanted to see the bushes you were complaining about , after the tear drops were falling out came his hanky to wipe them...
Poor dad he is only 96yrs ,she has his welfare to worry about ,he could have fallen over and no one would have seen him as it was the back garden.
After a few whiskey's he was back to his old self...

Maddie never mind..... my friend is in the same position as you as to wait another 2yrs....she wants her bus pass as her hubby has his.

Jean good luck for today

:-)

Oooh loooky loooky, our Pauline is back with us. Hello lovely lady, did you enjoy your days out, and did you go anywhere exciting.?

Linda, I was shocked when I logged on, to read that Deanna had passed away, such a lovely lady, and a loss to all who knew and loved her.

Ahhh Marilyn, bless your dad, he can't do right for being wrong can he. But I can understand your step mothers concern though.

Jean is back from her treatment, and is feeling pretty yucky, so she has gone for a rest. But god willing she will be back fighting her corner this time tomorrow, only to have to go back for more chemo the next day.
Keep your chin up Jeni, and know we are here fighting with you.

I see Shelly was being rather naughty at 03.36 this morning, stomping up the stairs like that, tut ,tut, she would moan at the kids for doing that.

I wonder if George and Foggy have gone out painting the town red today.

Welcome back Pualine we have missed you.
Marilyn that upset me about your Dad poor old fella he must be feeling low after the life he has lead and comes to this. I can understand how your stepmum worried about him and it is true he could have fallen and not been found for a few hours.but I do feel sorry for him, xxx for your Dad.

It was shock about Deanna it appear they didnt know she had cancer they found she had it on both her lungs and liver. how could they have missed that ?I had a few PM from Dutch keeping me informed . but to be honest it is a blessing she is no longer suffering. her family must be devastated.

Jean go and have a good rest darling. it must take it out of you.

That Shelly should have camped in her sons tent saved her walking up the stairs ROL;

Maddie my husband was in the 2nd bat.London Regiment of The Royal Fusilers
he was a Lance Corporal. he was a snipper. I have the list of his rifle course and all his army books he went in 1944 and came out July 1948.
his reference form the army say his Military conduct was excellent and he played football for his regiment and boxing. I have cups and Medals for his boxing and long jump and diving while he was in the arny.

Rita

Afternoon all

I got woken up during the night by someone stomping up the stairs so I'm feeling a bit tired lol

Welcome back Pauline, hope you had some good days out.

<3 to Jean

My younger sister and her 2 girls came to visit yesterday, we all went out for lunch at a pub nearby, they do a nice Sunday dinner, then back to mine for a cuppa and a gossip, they went home about 7pm.

Got some washing out this morning, sheets and towels, looks like rain tomorrow so I got them done.

Marilyn Hope your dad is feeling better today after his uipset, it must be so hard to want to be independent and do things for himself, bless him.



<3

Sounds like your John was quite athletic Rita, were you the same or did you prefer to watch sport?

Mo, I'm worn out after all the walking I've done the last couple of weeks............ I'm probably a couple of inches shorter now because I've worn my legs away.

I LOL about the anniversary celebration you went to, I think I would have thought the same as you about the church.

I felt sorry for Marilyn's dad getting upset but I can understand his wife being worried about him.

Are we going to send a search party out for Stephen?

Afternoon all,
Straight on this afternoon, no messing about :-D
Rita from what I have learn't about my dads ancestors they were mostly from South Petherton. I did find a good site with lots of info on it. Looks like a lovely place, I would like to go and have a mooch round.
Welcome back Pauline, we missed you lots.

Cath xx

Cath, have you been to the beautician, you look like a different person? Love the avatar.

Yvonne, we posted at the same time but then I got locked out, just kept getting the Error message. Sounds like you had a nice day yesterday, always nice to catch up with family.

Shelly, you've been wasting paper again, sneaking on the thread in the early hours of the morning and getting up to no good.

Great photos of your son camping in the lounge, at least you know he's safe. He did look cosy though.

<3 <3 <3 <3 for Jean <3 <3 <3 <3

Hi everyone,

i'm back from my week-end away.
Marilyn i thought of you when I got to my sister's because my brother in law made me a G & T :-D It was very nice!
The weather was quite good considering.We went to Mottisfont House which is a N.T property between Salisbury and Romsey. Afterwards we went to Southsea Castle and then yesterday morning we went to Hayling Island.
It's back to work tomorrow :-P Good thing is that next Monday is a Bank Holiday.
Going to unpack and have a bath etc..
Catch you later.

George
:-) :-) :-) :-)

Hi All,


George..... I meant to ask you what's with the accident ? see I'm very nosey ,but as you have mentioned it a couple of times , I just wondered was is a bad accident ?

:-S

Do you know what ?


I have been listening to Amy Winehouse most of the day .....her songs are growing on me ....I just love jazz.
pity she died as I never even thought about who she was until her death ...
:-0

Pat you definitely made the most of your weekend :-D

Just going to ring my sister to find out how my dad is as she took him shopping today for his whiskey ..LOL

Yvoone I did my washing this morning two lots all dry as it went through the comercial dryer we have on the estate. so it doesnt matter if it rains or not some times I put washing out on the rotary dryer.

Pauline my husband was very sporty He did lots while in the army for the team. he also played football for two teams when he came out of the army. he had trials for Queens Park Rangers but the money was so bad we could never have lived on that. he played for a team called Momacks from Hackney Marshes he also played for Wembley.Football club we were always traveliing around with the team to other places
..
He was a good diver as well and his swimming he won no end of medals the three children took after him for swimming for their schools and Middlesex.I swim but I am not very good.
I played Tennis, Basket Ball and Hockey thats was as far as I went I did run in the school races but I did it only for the school it was not something I liked doing.

I have made a note of your ancestors place of birth in Somerset I will look through my magazine and see if the name comes up sometimes they do. mine came from MELLS in Somerset.

George didnt you go out today in this good weather? tomorrow I am dreading storms I hate.

I think Pauline we will have to get up a witches broom party up to to look for that Stephen like a witches possey.lets go before th storm though

Rita

George, Marilyn beat me to it............ I'm just as nosey as she is and I was waiting for you coming on so I could ask about your accident. Sounds like it was something bad.

Rita, there's a big difference in a footballer's wage now, they get an obscene amount of money.

Steeeeeeeeeeephen, get back here now, don't make us come and look for you.

Hi Marilyn and Rita.

Marilyn it was a car accident.

Rita, yes have been out today, the old boy picked me up to take me shopping..lol. got to eat you know, we went to a huge Sainsburys in Basingstoke, then to the hospital as he had a check up, a late lunch at a garden centre then he dropped me home with all my goodies...lol.

George :-D :-D :-D

Hi Pauline...lol.
