Morning everyone, and thank you for your kind thoughts. am going to enjoy my weekend, the forecast is for some sun, a bit chilly but dry and bright, am going to go to our local garden centre and get some spring bulbs and winter flowering plants.
Am thinking positive like the hospital told me to, though that slips sometimes lol.
Wishing you all a happy and peaceful weekend.
Jean xx

Great to see you on the thread Jean, and brilliant to see you can be positive - keep it up. Have a good rest this weekend and be ready to start afresh next week, we're all behind you.

Glad you had a good night Linda. I'm pleased you said you couldn't look after the twins all the time - it makes me feel better that you aren't a super woman.........LOL

Liz is staying up even later than normal, must be the dark mornings.

See Shelly, you do fit in, Stephen has made you his dance partner. Mind you, not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing!

Erm, waiters!! I like the tall blonde Nordic type of man.........I'm married to one. Well, he's not so blonde now and it was a long time ago that his ancestors came over here.

Hi Friends .

Mo you left one of my favourite off your list
CHUBBY CHECKER.

Liz
I use to feed Hedgehogs as well mine liked milk and bread soaked in milk. when I moved from Norfolk I wondered if they were still about. ? I had also a red Squirrel come to see me each year. I persume it was the s ame one. he use to run along the back fench and then up one of the apple trees. my neighbours use to say I saw the squirrel today Rita it ran along your fence.
I have never seen a red one lose since then.
Jean
glad to see you are up and about. I hope you have a lovely weekend. dont over do things though just do what you want and to hell with the rest.
Marilyn
Did you get any replies from that car dealer when you went there with Pete and they didnt bother with you ?
I was at Torguay last year. I wondered if they still have that Bloon on the front ready for people to go up in.~? they did not do much business when I was there.

Linda
See your still busy .I am pleased to hear you enjoyed the concert last night..

Stephen
I see you are determind to wear Green Socks..are you going Green on us girls ?
I wonder what colour your suit will be and will the lapels be rolled and not pressed down my husband was so particular about his lapel on his suit jacket I had to roll them before I pressed the jacket.
becareful of the Blue swede shoes if you get them trod on too much your need a swede brush to clean them.better remember to take one with you.
Pauline and Yvonne where are you this morning.

Rita

Rita, I'm here, I was just before you, you missed me.

Shelly I'll be rushing out soon because I've got to go to a charity event.

Morning.

Off out later for the day.

Shelly looks like Stephen has a soft spot for you, maybe because your the youngest........... suppose you'll be asking to borrow my Lime green blouse
now .! but you cant because I'm wearing it with my hoop skirt.

Hi Jean.....still thinking about you every day xx

Do you think Liz & Stephen has been up chatting all night ?

Having my bath now ...........


Edit:- No Rita no phone call from the car man .......they must have reached their targets ....LOL

No one on here ? so I must be the only one with nothing too do. ?

I only went across to the chemist this morning to get my medication I had a bag the size of a handbag full.

I went into the charity shop as I was there I always look for books.
found racks of Christmas Cards on display.
Did not find any books so came home.

I cooked myself fish and chips for dinner to day and had a small piece of apple pie. then a cup of tea and a cat nap. Lol


so I am going to have a read and MIGHT logg on later. to see if anyone is around.

Rita

Good afternoon everyone, from a dry bright sunny day, here in Kent.
I went for the baby scan, with my son and his fiance today.
Guess what, another baby girl. That makes it 9 grandaughters, and 3 grandsons.
It's so wonderful, what you can see on the scans. My son asked if they did Three D scans, and was told not on the NHS, only private. They had paid for two scan pictures.
The man doing the scan, suddenly said, this is what the baby looks like in Three D, oh my was S excited to see her baby like that, the the man gave her the scan free of charge.
She weighs 1 pound 2 ounces. Now how clever is all this technology.
Every thing was fine, so she does not need another scan now at all.

It's nice to hear from Our Jean as well. Now don't go over doing it out in the garden Jean. You are supposed to be resting, you naughty girl.
But it will keep your mind occupied won't it, and the garden will look lovely next spring.

Ooops Rita, I forgot about Chubby Checker.
I hope Stephen chooses the right colour Jacket to go with those green socks. Otherwise with his blue suede shoes, the colours will clash.
I have decided to wear my black full circle skirt, the sequins on the skirt
are shaped into musical notes, and I will also wear my black and red can can petticoat, with my patent stilletto shoes. My top is also red, so that the whole outfit matches.
I will have to bring my little black pumps and socks, just in case my feet start to hurt from all the dancing.

What are you wearing Pauline, we don't want you clashing colours with Marilyn and Shelly.
Linda, don't over do it with the children,you need all the energy you can muster for our night out with Stephen.
Liz, you will have to try and get some rest, before our big night out. We don't want you falling asleep at the side of the hall.
Now where has Yvonne got to, she has not said if she is coming out with us all.

Wow that's brilliant Mo, how on earth do they know what the baby weighs?

That was really nice of the man to give them a free 3D scan, is it much different to the ordinary scan?

Are you sure you can dance in stilettos? It might be better to change into your pumps before you start to dance. I love the outfit though, sounds great - you might even look better than Marilyn with her lime green...........don't tell her I said that.

Don't know what I'm wearing yet, I'll have to have a rake around.

Pauline, I am not sure how they do the weight of the baby. All I know is, they wanted to do the internal scan, to check that mum was well inside, as well as outside.
So I beat a hasty retreat out of the room. I did not fancy watching that, besides it is rather a personal thing isn't it. And when they came out they said how much baby weighed then.
The wonderful thing was, that she appeared to be waving to us. Even the guy doing the scan said about it.
I know I am biased but she did look wonderful, I can't wait for her to be born, for my cuddles.

Aww Mo that's lovely, makes you wonder how aware they are at that stage.

Ah, that's how you don't know how they got the weight, you were out of the room when they put the scales in during the internal...........LOL


Edit: Oh my God, I've just finished eating a big cream cake and then I looked at the email you sent me Mo..........the woman in the shower. Now I wish I hadn't eaten the cake.

LOL Pauline, it was bad enough when they put the camera up there. The baby is a real poser,and was smiling. Mum wasn't very happy though, it was very uncomfortable.
And as for the scales, baby started to sing LOL

Edit, she was a state wasn't she. You have got a loooong way to go to get to that state babe.
Of to do dinner now, see ya later.

Mo that is great news. I saw three of my Granddaughters scans none of the others I have 5 Granddaughters and 6 Grandsons. I did not realise I had five of one set and 6 of the others. till you mentioned yours I had for gotten they have been around a long time.
you better get those needles clicking again at least you know what colour wools you can use.
Your a cheeky devil as well going to show me up in your clothes. I will have to see what I can find ?I am not having you out-do me.
Lol I wont be wearing high heels you can bet on that.

Pauline I can imagine Stephen wearing Green long socks thick one's and blue swede shoes..
I bet Marilyn goes shopping tomorrow to out do us all. you know what she is like shopping..she better not clash with Stephen otherwise it will be a rainbow dancing around that room..

Rita

Rita, I think I'll wait to see what everyone else is wearing before I decide what to wear - don't want to have the same colour as anyone else.

Oh, I forgot to say - we won loads of prizes today at the charity event......well, my son won loads of prizes. He's very lucky, he won 5 prizes. I only gave him a fiver and he won a prize with every ticket, I bought 30 quid's worth of tickets and got nothing. Mind you, all of the things he won were things for me or the garden.

I bought a plant and it had a big slug on it, the man said I didn't need to pay extra for it though...........LOL

I bought some beautiful homemade cakes as well (one of my friends made them). That's what I've been stuffing my face with.

I've changed my mind about waiting to see what everyone else is wearing, I've decided what I'm wearing.

I don't really do dresses, so I'm wearing skin-tight black pedal pushers (stretchy ones) and one of those shirt-style fitted blouses that tie at the front with 2 long bits. Erm, a bright yellow one.........and yellow patent-leather mules with a black bow on them. Oh, and a bright yellow scarf tied round my ponytail.

Just hope I don't fall off the mules.

Looks like we're all rairin to go!

Bee bop a loo loo she's my baby, bee bop a loo loo a don't me maybe........etc etc

Well then where do we meet? Outside the Ritz? Great big feast...good wine....handsome waiters....perhaps a nice wee waitress for me....them off to the jiggin.

Is it a Saturday night bash? On into the wee sma hours of Sunday.

Please be gentle with me....I don't bounce if I'm thrown.

We will need some really detailed descriptions of what you are all wearing....you already know my getup.

Looking forward to it all.

Stephen

What do you mean "Where do we meet?" Aren't you picking us up on your way down there?

Hi Everyone....I'm back had a great day in Torquay.

Had a delicious Pasty with a cuppa tea for lunch ...

As Stephen wants to know what I am wearing , this is it ...

Lime green blouse with my white & green hooped skirt , black patent belt, white ankle socks with a frill on the edge.
Blank pumps......scarf around my neck ,pony tail ,my hair is not as long as Pauline' s so I might sulk a bit !! LOL
Cardie (white) in case it gets chilly, very pale orange lippy as that sets the Lime green off nicely.
Stephen are we to take any money ? after all you did say your treating us.

I might take some money for fags......I do like a puff in between jives.

Right I'm ready.......So when do we go ????????????????

Waves to Jean ~~~~~~~~~~~~
