General Chat

Good to see Pauline and Pat back from their Hols.
Cath I have been to South Petherton as I had a penfriend when my youngest was a baby over 20 years ago and we did a house swap. They came up to Windsor and we went to Langport. They now live in Parrott Works near Martock.

Pat I love Mottisfont Abbey and was talking about there just this afternoon. Hubby and I go there usually once a year. I was a nice place to take the little ones as the grounds are lovely and all the rooms are on the ground floor. It is wheelchair friendly too. It is supposed to be beautiful in June when the roses are out and perfume the air so it is open some evenings too.

Did the ironing earlier and went to try to get some special paint for my chest of drawers, but the shop was closed....... all day Mondays in a garden centre too. Unbelievable. So thats a job I won't get done in the rain that is forecast for tomorrow.

Have a nice evening all

Linda :o) XxX

Linda, yes that place is rekn own for it s roses. My sister thought of it the other week when she was travelling to Salisbury on the train. They have walled gardens there.
The fact that I pack a lot in the week-end is due to my brother in law.
I'm usually shattered by the end of the day!
Going to have my fish and chips now :-)

Pauline believe it or not that avatar could have been me 30 years ago, lol lol. :-D Long red hair and a twinkle in my eye ;-) Now its short white hair and a stye in my eye :-(

LOL at Cath!!

George, I'm not a little nosey............. I'm waaaaay past that!! :-D :-D

LOLOL Pauline

George :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

You must be getting better now George because you're walking without your zimmer frame................ :-D :-D

I think you're looking slightly younger as well.

Linda, if I'd known you had the iron out - I'd have shoved mine down the cyber hatch.

Pat, are you off to the gym after you've eaten those fish and chips?

I'm sick of looking at chips, my son thinks he has to have chips every time we go to the beach. He won't let us pass a chip bar.

LOL Cath, your description of yourself made me chuckle.

I forgot to tell you one thing about the 25th anniversary celebration, ( well I think I did ) I was called over to look at a C.D they had of their wedding day, and there was I, in a longer length white skirt, gold silk blouse, dancing away with my friends. I couldn't believe how slim I looked, but dancing next to me,was a friend of mine who died before her 40th birthday.
It was so upsetting for me, to see Jackie there in the flesh, knowing that she was now gone.

Welcome home Pat, so nice to hear you had a good time, even though it was exhausting.

Sending out an S.O.S for Stephen, get the search parties organised folks.
Thank god we haven't heard of any boating accidents, so at least we can assume he's safe. Coommeee back Stephen, all is forgiven.

How unusual for a garden center to be closed on a monday Linda. Perhaps you should have gone to B+ *'s, they were open, and you could have got the paint from there. But at least this way, you got a little time to relax and not over do things, knowing what a workaholic you are. lol

Pauline I thought Georges avatar was of Popeye the sailor man.
I'm glad you asked the question of George, as I didn't want to appear nosey.
No I am not saying you are nosey love. oh god I drop myself in it all the time dont I.

I wonder if Maddie is home from work yet. I know she is changing her working hours, but she didnt say from what to what.

It's hard to look at old photos of people we've lost, Mo, brings back memories. Sad to think they've gone.

Speaking of photos, can we have a proper one of you George? Stephen was brave enough to put a real photo of himself up as his avatar for a while.

Told you I was nosey!!!



Edit: can't be Popeye, Mo, no pipe!!

Well just rang my sister......Dad was OK happy with his whiskey special offer in Asd@ ....well chuffed ,so maybe he's forgotten about yesterday.

I hope to see him again before my holiday on Monday.

George.......at least you get around and enjoy yourself ...good on you
:-D

Pauline with all them chips you must have put on a stone ..LOL

Getting dinner ready ....

Marilyn, have a look at my new photo, do I look like I've put any weight on?

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Pauline, I'm off to the gym tomorrow for my induction!

Yep, I do...LOL

Just burnt my toast...lol making cheese on toast with tomatoes...lol

George :-D :-D :-D :-D

LOL George ....concentrate on yer toast you'll be out of bread soon ...

Pauline I love your new avatar ......its very glam , you'll get George burning more toast . :-D

Oh no not burnt toast George, still the cheese and tomato's will cover up the taste.

Pauline, popeye could have just had his spinach, thats why his pipes out of his mouth.

Actually MO, my avatar is a dead ringer for old Foggs....lol :-D :-D :-D :-D

George :-) :-)

Marilyn, Cath sent her beautician up to me, she gave me a make-over...... :-D :-D Hope I can get that purple dye out of my hair.

Did George get our photos on this thread. so he can see what we lot are like Lol

George what do you mean its nothing to do with you when someone said Kate Middleton was expecting a baby, she isnt Kate Middleton anyway
it did give me a laugh when I read it. you ttile devil you. George if you burnt your toast you must have had your mind on other things.

Girls have we nothing about Stephen being back off his long holidays.
we could meet him on the keyside with a scot playing the bagpipes. so he know we have missed him.


Pauline you do look nice in that new photo like a model or a fairy at the end of your garden your have to cover up when you get that snow in the winter or bits will drop off. lol
