Linda the garden is looking really nice,thank you for sending the pics.
It is all ready now for when your guests arrive,well done.

Shelly,you are spoiling your lot. Come on get the whip out,and whip them into shape woman.
Thats the thing with us mums,we molly coddle our boys. If my youngest is anything to go by.
He is 33 next month,and has only just started to grow up,and take his responsabilities seriously.
He was mothered by me,then his wife,then all his girlfriends,apart from the fiance he has got now,she makes him stand on his own two feet,as he has got to look after her. LOL
You know what I mean,when I say he does the cooking,cleaning,washing and everything else that goes on in the home.
He has to or else nothing would get done.

I wonder how Marilyn feels today. She has got company today hasn't she.
I hope she has been fit enought to cope.

Rita what have you been doing with yourself today.

Pauline you are quiet,what mischief have you been up to.

Does anyone have Lady's e-mail as I would like to include her and send the photo's to her.
My Canadian cousin has said she wants to use some of the photo's as the wallpaper for her computer !!!

Just done more ironing and sorted the rowels for the spare bedroom.

I was looking for my knitting needles, but think they are in the other spare room in the wardrobe behind all the wedding dress and petticoats etc. So I gave up.

Linda :o) XxX

Oh good grief Linda,KNITTING needles,haven't you done enough. Sit yourself down and relax for a while. LOL

Morning lovely day. I am just going to get the washing together so I can do it today, Looking at TV this morning has given me a fit of depression every bit seem to be of someone or country starting fights. it is Israel now . do you know it is 5 weeks since my sister sent my post card from palistine and none of her cards have reached there destination. she said she had posted them all together from Israel the Israel cards everyone got , the others not one. what does that tell you ?
My son phoned yesterday to tell me "he had spent the weekend buying things that had packed up at week-end "his microwave blew up. his TV burnt out. l said " well you TV was geting old 14 years "he has another one but this is the oldest.so he went on a spending spree yesterday.
Hope you all have a good Bank Holiday Monday and the weather stays nice for you.

Morning Rita and all you late risers
Overcast here this morning.
Might be going into town to get a cover for the BBQ as we have a discount voucher. See how hubby feels as he has to go to work this afternoon.

Think I will just fiddle around on the computer and maybe get some plants in later, if it stays dry

Have a good day everyone

Linda :o) XxX

Morning Linda
I have done my washing and got it all dry and ironed and put away. I am doing some sewing now then will do myself bubble and squeak for dinner with corned beef. anyone fancy any ?
It has got over cast here but I am not going anywhere.
Hope you get everything done Linda.

Love
Rita

Hello everyone

Linda the photos of your garden were lovely, I've did some pots and baskets a couple of weeks ago but they're not doing very well, a lot of green leaves but no floweres :-( my garden is very small.

I hope everything goes well next Saturday Linda

It's very overcast here and cold

Trying to get son to revise, he has exams next week

There isn't too much water damage to the bedrooms, it'll be mostly decorating, a few clothes got damp so I washed them and some sheets and towels that were in the airing cupboard. Was a good excuse to sort out the clothes and chuck out stuff I haven't worn in years and don't fit any more.

talk later

It is not the size of the garden it is the love and care people put into it that counts. I long for a garden now I have had some lovely ones in the past but here I dont have a garden as such, only a small paving slab size but I look after it. . So I am sure yours will be nice. the plants you have put into your boxes and hanging backets may not flower right away due to the change in the weather but keep watering I am sure they will come out better than you think.

Love
Rita

Hi everybody, it's been a glorious day here, lovely and sunny and warm. If it wasn't for the breeze it would be sunbathing weather. It's still nice now, very bright.

Linda, your garden's looking lovely, very pretty. You've got more patience than me with all the new flowers in your pots. It'll all look perfect for the wedding on Saturday, hope the weather holds out.

Hope it's all gone well for Marilyn today, she hasn't been on, so she must be enjoying herself. Hopefully your sore throat wasn't to bad Marilyn.

Mo, that's exactly what I said 'good grief', when I saw that Linda was looking for her knitting needles. I think we must get short measured with the amount of hours in our days.

Rita, I wish you lived a bit nearer to me, you could spend as much time as you liked in my garden. You could potter around till your heart was content.

Yvonne, small gardens can be made lovely. I knew a man who only had a balcony, but it was beautiful, it was a mass of colour for months at a time. He had loads of pots and hangers all over it.

Where's our Shelly today?

Hello Everyone....

I'm ILL.....

I managed to stay on form because I had no choice !!
Couldn't cancel these USA friends yesterday as I had so much food organized.
But with all the Paracetamols I took got me through the day.

To dayhas been much worse and I have been in bed all day.....just got up !
I had to send Pete to Morris*ns for benilyn for my cough, as I hate having that phelm to cough up.

So here I am and now going back to bed.
Mo,.. Pete never did rub my chest.....so can you find that man in Tesc*'s
car park if he still knocking around doing nothing .LOL
Bye for now...xxxx

Pauline you were typing as I was ..LOL

marilyn hope you are in bed resting carnt have you ill

got to what for the bi\zzy lizzy are in full bloom befor i send you all mine

right of the check emails

Shelly you have a yard thats more than I have.I have not got a belcony either.just a strip of soil outside my front room window I watched the lady across the road planting geriuns in her little garden I said I usually plant things in mine but since the little garden stall has gone from across the road wher I brought my plants I have a job getting any I have to catch a bus and go to Home Base.
She said Rita I am going to 4 acre flower centre next week some time you can come with me in the car and we can get what you want. I thought tha twas so kind of her. I felt awful afterwards as though l was expecting her to take me.
Marilyn hurry up and get rid of the cold or virus whatever it is you have. I dont want it so dont pass it onto me please. go to bed have got lemon and paracetmal. and stay in there till you have sweated that cold out./
pleanty of water is needed as well.I am not surprised Pete didnt want to rub your chest he is not keen to catch your cold.
Yes I could spend the day on your garden Pauline getting all that fresh air and smelling the flowers.

Rita

Marilyn,I have searched everywhere,for the T/Shirt man,and I'm sorry to say he has vanished,awww shame,he would have done you the world off good.
It sounds like you should be taking yourself off to the doctors tommorrow,it has gone on for long enough,and as it's now gone onto your chest,you probably need some anti-biotics.

Come on Yvonne,take your sons games console away if he don't do his revision.
Thank god there was not as much damage done to the house as you at first thought. But it will all take time to put back to normal unfortunately.

Pauline, Linda is one in a million,she can cram 26 hours into a day,she wears me out just thinking about it.
I lay in bed in the morning,and say to myself I am going to do so and so today,by the time I get up I am worn out pondering about it,and then don't bother to do anything.

Hi Rita and Shelly,I have not forgotten you.

Hi all

Mo he did some revising this afternoon so I'm thankfull for small mercys.

You stay in bed Marilyn, don't want you spreading your germs around!!!

Morning Everyone
Bit overcast again and I believe that rain is due later on. I managed to get some plants in yesterday and cleared the bulbs from the front. So a bit more today, I hope. But I can't do much before my back aches.
Just hubbys work shirts left to iron. Then none of those for 24 days Yippee.

Have a good day everyone.

I hope you are feeling a bit better this morning Marilyn, if not check at the drs in case you need antibiotics like the others said

Linda :o) XxX

MORING LINDA

Hope you have a good day. like a holiday to you not to have extra shirts to wash and iron.

I am having trouble with GR this morning my words come and go then I go back to home again so l have no idea what is going on. it isnt 1st April is it ? and I have forgotten. lol

I will say Good morning to all the other lazy bones. have a good day.

Love
Rita

Morning all,

I am a bit better today but not 100% , still I have had an early bath and powdered my nose and put some thought into my hair and its making me feel alive !!.....But I am still drugged up on pills ..LOL

Got my cancer check up this afternoon, one reason why I got up and made myself respectable, I could not possibly cancel as I already have done so the last time.


Its raining and the forecast did say it would be sunny today, so waiting for the sun to come out.

Yvonne my grandson suppose to be revising.....but the beach is so near (down the road) that surfing comes top of his list at the moment, god forbid him if he fails according to his parents.

Going to make the bed and change the sheets as I feel my germs are on them big time .

Hi everybody.

It's raining here today, still mild but miserable.

Hope your check-up's OK Marilyn, let us know how it goes. Glad you're feeling a little bit better today.

Rita are you having trouble with other sites or is it just GR?

Linda, don't wear yourself out, you have to look good for Saturday. You need to look your best for the photos.

My niece (great niece) is revising as well Yvonne, after half term she has another 2 weeks of exams to do.

LOL Mo, I'm always going to do loads of jobs, but never seem to get them done either. Think I'm getting lazy in my old age.

Shelly and Linda are the energetic ones on here, they rush around doing all kinds of things........while I'm just thinking about doing them.

Suppose I'd better make a move, got to get some shopping in before I go to the hospital.

pauline i only move if i have to and if you not that quick you miss it lol

iv got up with an head ache today and it is raineing here as well
also got one of my gransons 5 year old and he dont stop chatting

going to get ready to pop out and do some shopping

Hi Pauline no it was only on GR it was like having someone typing a messsage for me really errie.it would then go.
Marilyn let us know how your check up goes. ? hope your getting over that cold now,.
My Granddaughter Becky is stitting her A levels she comes home from school and goes to her room and stays there revising she is so keen to get to the college she will work her fingers off.
My eldest son was like that he wroked as soon as he came in from school stright to his bedroom put the raidio on classic music and work till his home work was done. he passed the scholarship but he did it with ease.
This morning I wanted to go and post two letters but stayed to watch BBC 1 Dom littlewood was sorting a bad problem out a couple 's father had his house insulated with wall filling by the goverment funding and the house ended up with £11.000 worth of repairs due to the damp course being blocked with the filling.which had gone into the air vents. my neighbours had it done a few months ago and I refused to have mine done even though it would have only cost me £60 the goverment paid the rest. I told them about the trouble people had got when I lived in Nofrolk this programme was about the same thing. since my neighbours had theirs done they have had to had the contractors out aagin.
so l went out later than I would have done l got to the back gate that leads onto the road and the sky opened up l remembered I had an umberella in my bag so got that out just in time it fell down. l posted the letter got some milk and prawns and a lettuce before I came back it stopped after I had been in for half an hour.
I should have waited I would not have got so wet.

Rita
