Uhm Rita,Pauline did not say how old Sue was,so thats why she has not put any candles on the cake,just to keep us guessing.
I shall be away to my bed soon,as I am feeling really rough with this flu-cold,dont know what it is,but it sure do make you feel horrid.
See you tommorrow.

Some of you may have wondered where I have got to, whilst others probably don't even care??
With all the forums etc that I go on, I find it hard to even fit my work in...lol..I do plan to visit then get very side tracked into other things, then forget wht my original plan was!!!
I ordered some certs last weekend & was hoping they would arrive from Thursday onwards but they haven't. I just looked on gro website & it's taking an extra 3 days for despatch...I then realised why!!! The cost of certs is going up £2.25 each from 6th April so everyone must be getting their orders in quick before the rise!!!

Pauline $(*-*)$ Report 28 Mar 2010 09:17


That's right Lady, it's one mad rush to get as many as possible before the rise. My order took 8 days to get here - so that wasn't bad. I sent another order off a couple of days ago and the dispatch day is supposed to be 1st April.

Rita, I forgot to put the candles on Sue's cake. Do you think she noticed?

Mo, count the candles on the top row, then the bottom, then put the two digits next to each other.

Now we know why Shelly wasn't on here much yesterday, it must have taken all day to bake that 3 layer cake and decorate it all. At least it gave us plenty to eat.

Hi Marilyn, are you still around or have you gone back on the ship? I bet you haven't even chipped your nail varnish since you went away. You're making us all jealous with the way you're being waited on. Now you know what it feels like to be mega rich - would you like to live like that all the time? I wouldn't mind being waited on for a couple of weeks, in fact a couple of days would be enough.

Oh my word I feel quite sick with al that cake and jelly and ice cream,we ate yesterday.Thanks for the jelly+ice cream Yvonne.
I bet Marilyn was jealous she was not here to eat it.
Just watch the diet on that ship Maz,with all that lovely food to eat,the pounds could easily creep back on.
Where were you yesterday then Shelly,you missed seing Rita and me dressed up in all our best gear. lol Poor Rita had to shoo the birds away from her hat so many times,I was in hysterics laughing at her.
Ah ha,I counted the candles Pauline,so now I know how old Sueee is.
Mind you the candles did look like sticks off dynamite,you meant the party
to go with a bang then. lol
Hi Lady good to hear from you.

Rita

Rita Report 28 Mar 2010 13:36

I think the party did go with a bang. .when the candles where lite up we had to turn the lights off it was too bright, then the fire brigade arrived with their hoses my what big hoses they had aiming to put the fire out on the cake. so I had a bit of soggie cake.I did nick a candle though as a keepsake.
Mo my hat is now back in the hedge ready for any bird that wants a nest. it is still empty at the moment.

see you later

Thinking over Pauline you could have brought one big candle instead of the little ones they do them with the age on now. whooooo

Good to hear from you Lady.thought you had imigrated.where is that shelly sneaking off again I suppose she has gone with Yvonne to Marilyn to turn her clocks forward. that will teach her to go away that long. she will come back and not know what time it is.

Just going to have some dinner,gammon roast today,yummy.
See you later.

Have you noticed how cold this afternoon I has been. don t know why. I thought being as it was brighter it would get warmer. and there was me trying to save some penny on heating

It is last of the Larkrise to Candleford I do enjoy that series but I suppose we will get rubbish on inplace of that well rubbish to me.
It is also the final of the Ice skating so I will miss the first bit as it comes on when Larkrise to Candleford is on.

have you noticed how many repeats we are getting and they are not ones that have been on a longtime ago either they seem to show the same ones every couple of weeks.

I hope you enjoy you dinner Mo I had chicken breast roast potatos roast parsnip and carrots I am only allowed dark green twice a week or three times if I have a very small potion that is about a tablespoon due to the warfarin.

nearly 6 oclock and it is still light.

I agree with you about all the repeats. I watched Foyles war again this afternoon,as there was nowt else on. But a new series is due to start next week.
I will be watching the skating tonight. I think that Hayley should win it.
It is not to cold here at the moment,but I did put the gas fire on,when I got up this morning. Mind you it was 6.15 am,and it was miserable outside at that time.

Rita, your dinner sounds tasty, I haven't had mine yet. I should get the ironing done before dinner but I can't be bothered.

I wonder if Marilyn is getting her ironing done for her while she's on the boat.

Good evening everyone.
Well had a lovely day. Started off taking the dog for a walk, before my daughter came to take me out. First stop a coffee. Then walked around the centre as the shops weren't open til 11:00. Managed to get an outfit for the hen weekend, a good start. Then off to Debenhams and the personal shopper. Few details and off she went coming back with an armful of clothes. I gave her a starting point of turquoise as I had a necklace and bracelet that I wanted to wear. The first things I tried on, I loved.
But a dress she chose I wasn't keen on.
Another outfit was a lovely blue, but so much like the outfit my own mother had worn to my brothers wedding more than 20 years ago, that I was surprised and knew I couldn't choose that although I would have loved it otherwise.
Another outfit was rather green not a colour I would choose. So that was a no no.
But I did get the first outfit I tried on. It was basically turquoise with some lilac and cream. It is a skirt and blouse with a short sleeved blouse and short sleeved jacket. Then rather than a hat( difficult with my hair problems) she brought a fascinator with all the matched colours. A clutch handbag and matching shoes both in the right turquoise. Added up to a fair bill but my daughter was delighted with it all. So that was the one. All beautifully packed and brought home. Hubby loved it and didn't collapse and said it was lovely for such a special day for all our family.
Marilyn I could wear most of it on my next cruise !!!
I was very happy, one less thing to worry about.
Then we went to Primark and got some reasonable underwear and PJ's and kitchen towels oh and some cheap sandals which are surprisingly comfortable.

Off to do some more cross stitch.

Sleep well all of you.

Linda :o) XxX

Pauline ,I dare say that Marilyn is getting her washing done for her on board. Other than that, if they have got an outside cabin,with a balcony, Maz could be pegging her smalls out there. At least they would not take long to dry.
Linda, your outfit for the wedding,sounds really nice. I love the colour turquoise,it's such a summery colour as well.
I bet you will look the bees knees in it.
