My God Linda, you do more in a weekend than I do in a month........actually that might be 6 months.
It's annoying when they cancel an appointment isn't it? It happens to us all the time, hubby puts a holiday in so we can take my son to hospital and then they cancel the appointment.
I hope the new medicine works, you might find out in a few days if it's any good.

Good to have you back Rita, you've been a big miss.
You never have an uneventful holiday when you're with your sister do you? You can never say it was boring. I'm pleased the weather held out for you, just as well you didn't decide to head in this direction - you would have needed a boat.

Marilyn are you relaxing now? I'm sitting here with my bottle of wine and my lappy - that's what I call relaxing.

Mo, you need to take it easy with the knitting, that baby will need a wardrobe to itself by the time it's born.

Elizabeth I don't plan weekends, just wait and see what happens..................which is usually nothing.....lol
Never mind, that's the way I like it.

Don't tell me Shelly is still up Marilyn's tree!! I'll get you a pair of ladders Shelly so you can get back down again.

Welcome back Rita, what a busy time you had with your sister but I am so glad you had such a nice and interesting holiday and journey too eh?

O.h. is back to his normal self, got in a strop cos he missed a payment on his credit card by one day and got a charge, the way he spoke to the person on the phone didn't encourage a refund, stupid person, he has no idea how to get people on his side! He won't use direct debits for much so is always having this sort of problem, even tho he writes things on his calender (we have one each lol) he forgets to check it and this week with the course he thought of nothing else. Now he is frantically panicking about what he can buy me for my birthday!!! He still has to try his suit on to see if it fits or if he is going to get a lighter coloured one to match the groom and bestman and father of the bride, personally I don't think it matters but they have bought him a tie to wear in the same matching colour, lilac. It's not as if this is a posh wedding or top hat and tails stuff, so why he needs to match the others I don't know, his dark grey suit would look fine and he has only worn it twice, once to his son's graduation and once to a funeral since he bought it in 2004 so seems a waste to buy another one to hang in the wardrobe. He is not a smart dresser, which is a shame as I like to see a man know how to dress, I do my best to get him into nice things but nothing really looks good on him as he is so fat now and has very short arms and legs, everything has to be altered.

Shelley, this house of o.h.'s is very small, two bedrooms and a boxroom but he uses the boxroom as a dressingroom and the spare room is full of stuff mostly mine as there is no storage elsewhere, not even any bookshelves or such.

I won't be wearing my new dress until the wedding, have decided it will do as I can't be bothered going round the shops looking for anything else - too many sales on now and nothing suitable in the shops I looked in before, and autumn stock coming in soon. I will have to get the lining soon to make the scarf into a stole and look for new shoes and bag and that will be it, oh and something not to restrictive to hold my tum in a bit lol I am sure I will find the right accessories if I have a couple of afternoons in the city, might do it next week so he can get ready for his night shifts in peace and then I can go back to a quiet house for the night lol

Jean, glad you have a couple of days free of treatment and hope you can spend some pleasant time relaxing or in company to take your mind off things.

Weather has cooled down but stayed dry and forecast is dry for the weekend so birthday should be ok. Not sure what we will do but will sort out some options and see how the day goes. As long as I spend time with my lad, I don't mind too much as it's not a 'big' birthday altho the numbers are big enough lol

Take care all, must clear some emails

love and hugs to all
Lizxxx

Morning everyone
It's nice here today. Must put a wash on before the day slips away. Going in to neighbours to celebrate their anniversary, then to the BBQ this evening.

Have a bit of garden to tidy. And some ironing to do. All interesting stuff as usual.

Have a good day everyone. Relax a little Jean if you can

For goodness sake Rita, your life is always full of excitement,no wonder you can write about your experiences.
What with trains being held up, because of strange packages, policemen
involved, then to top it all, you nearly become a biker chick, and head of with the hells angels. LOL
Bikers are not nearly as bad these days are they, back in the sixties and seventies,there were a some rum uns about then. But with age, they have all settled down,and do a lot of good deeds for the sick children,and the elderly in our area.
I always wanted to be an angels girlfriend, but it never worked that way,as I was to flippin scared to get on the back of a motor bike.

Linda, don't have to many glasses of the old vino before you get to the BBQ
or you won't remember what you are eating.

I hope you are feeling o.k today Jean,and sitting down and relaxing. Don't
follow in our little gad about Rita's steps,or you will wear yourself out.
Rita is our big sister,who gets all the excitement happen to her. She has the firemen that park at the back of her flats, police in helicopters, train drivers giving her thrills,by stopping the train and going to investigate what she and her sister are up to, ooooh they such naughty girls at times. LOL
I am only jealous Rita, my life is sooo boring compared to yours.

I bet Marilyn and her sister are out shopping for more clothes. It's all the weight she has lost, that makes her want to show of her fine figure now.

And I bet Shelly is out food shopping, or up some tree,looking for Marilyns rellies.

No Pauline today as of yet. I hope you are not overdoing that gardening Pauline, or you will get a bad back.

Yvonne should be home soon as well.

Now all we are waiting for is Sueee, to look in and say hello.

Mo my husband and I rode motors cycle well he drove I rode pillion we had an old ex-army one first a Royal Enfield then we went on to most of them Black Pantha. BSA and Riley the only one we never did mange to afford was a Harley Davidson they were never new cycle we could not afford that he brought them run down and did them up when we had the children we had sidecars attached and had great fun with those. he only paid a few pounds for them.
The days you are speaking about was I think when they had Mods and Rockers the Ace Cafe in North Circular road had them there they made a film for Tv once on the Mods and Rockers at the Ace Cafe (which is still going would you beleive after all this time ) my Aunty Grace was watching the film on Tv and saw he youngest son Kenny there little devil never told her he went there there was always rows and fights It is not like that now most are kind hearted and do a lot for charities.
I bet their bedrooms are not as nicely kept as their motor cycles.

My sister said there is never a dull moment when she goes out with me. she is right I seem to attract trouble l have no idea why.?

Pauline I hope you have sun lotion on if your sitting out there in the garden.

I dont think Marilyn has any money left after her spending she has done lately with clothes

I have done all my washing today the laundryroom was empty so I took over did all my washing two laods and then did some trousers the old aldy who lives a little way from me she is in her late 80's comes from the east end of London alovely old girl she says Blimey this and Blimey that and comes out with some reall corkers. she was doing her washing in the sink so I said leave it I will do that and put it in the machine for you and then the dryer and bring it up to you. which I did. poor old thing falls about a lot and is always being rush to hospital.she said Rita your a bloody good en for doing that for me. it made me laugh. she has the cockney voice. one of 11 children so she told me..

I usually do mine Monday and Wednesday mroning but as the room was not being used I did mine this morning instead.she is a poor old lady hardly walks and is always falling over in her flat and they take her into hospital for the night or mayvbe two. she is full of fun a true cockney lady.

Hi Folks
Well just back from the BBQ. We all had a really nice time just chatting and a couple of the albums with the photographs were passed around for those who hadn't seen them.

I didn't see any new ones so I must ask around as to who took pictures on the day.

Hubby came in and has fallen asleep already, he was up at 6:00. No stamina LOL.

The Vulcan has just flown over it must have been leaving Farnborough Air Show. Rather late and afterburners and all.

Catch you all in the morning

Have a great birthday Liz

Thanks Shelley, I enjoyed that piece of cake and glass of wine, hope you did too.
Thanks for the birthday wishes. Sort of wish I could turn the numbers round and be 36 again, my son would only be one and I could enjoy his childhood all over again, and not make the mistake I made when he was 14, and I met the dozy clod here lol

Shelley, nearly pmsl - camping, no way, I don't mind a caravan but tents are not for me, never ever and even a caravan would have to have two bedrooms, one for him and one for me, I like my peace and space on holiday lol

Must get to bed early so take care all
