Got to get the strength up for tomorrow, it's going to be a long day.

Bobby, Tom, Andy and I are flying down tonight so that we get an early start.

Full dress Highland gear for us, but still sporting Team GR colours.
Bobby already has an MBE so it will be something else for him.
Tom and I will have to wear our Military Medals. Minatures, as we are not in uniform.

Maddie......I must be at that 'funny age' as well. Everyone looks at me and laughs.

Having another early start today at the Nieces house. Yesterday was very productive....hoping for the same today.

If I don't catch up with you tonight...see you at the Palace tomorrow. We are scheduled for 11.30am.

Ladies take a close look at HMs face, her skin looks great for her age. Well it was the last time she 'bumped' into me. Her Blue/Grey eyes have a lovely sparkle....or perhaps that was because she had so many photographers 'flashing' at her.

Have a good day ya all !!!!!!!!

PS.

Can someone book a place for dinner for Monday night.

Although we will have 'nibbles' at the Palace after the Awards Ceremony I'm sure we will all fancy dinner in London.

Morning all,

Thank you Stephen for that lovely Breakfast, but I have to skip it ,because I went out for a VERY late meal last night and I'm not hungry enough .....but you can do it again tomorrow .

There were 19 of us celebrating a 70th birthday ......but I bought her a card which was the best card she had because it was a 30th card !! LOL.... I think the whole restaurant customers wanted to join us, as there was so much laughter .... Ann Summers comes to mind and that's with our OH's ,! Gosh a few bottles of wine went down.

So I'm recuperating this morning taking things gently.

I have to ring our Linda sometime today for that cream tea I promised her , if she comes on Monday I shall not be able to see HRH, although my Pete has seen her many times and been in the Palace, now your all wondering HOW ?????????? LOL

Let you all know what day Linda arrives.....
Have a good day its beautiful here today

Jean I'm still thinking about you, your doing well. xx

Morning all.

Hope everyone is well. I have seen Her Maj, she is like a little porcelain doll. SO TINY.

Will catch up with you all tonight. Going to work soon, just gonna jump in the bath, and put on the slap.

Lovely sunny morning, so I am gonna miss out, AGAIN.

See you all later.

x

Mine is a quickie to say Hallo have a great day everyone in case I dont get a chance to pop in again. I will try.later on.

My daughter and Son in Law are on their way here. Steve the one with cancer. he has not been out for months only to the hospital so we are looking forward to seeing each other.


Love
Rita

Rita, it's good to know that Steve is feeling well enough to visit you, have a lovely day with them.

Am I the only one that hasn't seen Liz? Never mind, I'll get to see her tomorrow.

Maddie, I love hats, I'll definitely be wearing one. My favourite is my black trilby - so I'll have that on...........probably with a trouser suit, ankle boots (high heels) and clutch bag. Not sure what colour suit to wear though. Can't wear a black one because I'd look like I was going to a funeral.

Marilyn, was Pete something to do with Liz's security team? Was he in charge of her body guards?

Whoever books dinner - can you make it at the Ritz please?

Stephen, someone hogged all the fry-up you made, don't know who it was *glares at Mo* but all they left was the black pudding. Mind you, I like black pudding so I was happy with that.

By the way, I think the sparkle in Liz's eyes might have something to do with the whiskey she drinks...............it does that to a lot of people.

Do you know........that Rita will do anything to get a hunky fireman in her bedroom, fancy trying to turn the mattress over herself just so she could phone the fire-brigade.

I think Jean is getting up to Rita's tricks as well, now that she's feeling a bit better she's tried the mattress stunt. Nice to see you're coping a bit better Jean.

Mo, I forgot to say 'thank you' for the photo you sent me of Stephen, does he know you took that photo of him? Has he seen it?

Has Linda already left for Devon? I can't remember what day she was going.

Shelly, you won't have to travel far tomorrow, you and Maddie will have a head start on the rest of us. You might need to take a rucksack with you because you won't get all your medals in a handbag.

Wonder if Yvonne will be able to make it.

Pauline are you trying to get me in deep doo doo. What photo are you on about, was it that lovely scotsman in the kilt, he's certainly a big boy isn't he. He's got big .....erm muscles aint he.
And yep it was me that ate all the breakfast, I dont like black pudding, so I left that for you.

Rita, if you would like a hunky fireman,to turn the mattress, I am sure I could arrange it for you. What type would you like, tall dark and handsome, or short and curly with muscles to boot.
It's lovely that your SIL, feels up to the journey to see you. I hope you have all had a great time,and that it's not been to tiring for him.

Maddie, I wouldn't worry about upstaging anyone in the dress sense. I'm sure Marilyn will have something in her wardrobe that Rita and I could borrow. Other than that it will have to be my brown trouser suit and boots,
coz it's going to be flippin cold in town tommorrow.
Maybe we could borrow a couple of mink coats from her Rita, to keep us warm.

do you lot have to wright more than 5 lines it take me ages to read it all lol

iv got me rucksack for all me meddles now please remember i dont do curry
so no indan restront please

iv been trying to plan a box to paint was thinking of flowers and butterflys

What is the box going to be used for Shelly. I dont want curry either,a Mc D's would do me. To much expense at this time of year to be going to the Ritz again, just haven't got the pennies at the moment.
Unless Stephen is going to pay again.

Hi Everyone.


Well.......we have had contact ..!! LOL ......Linda & I....she is coming on Tuesday for afternoon cream tea.

She is somewhere on the Dartmoor today.......bleak I would think and lost contact with her mobile well that makes sense, I had to find her after she could not get a signal.

So I'm off to get some strawberry jam tomorrow that I have run out off cant let myself down and don't want her talking about me that I got half of her cream tea .LOL

Pauline lets say (Pete and his team ) organized one of the weddings of Liz's children.
and I had a piece of the Royal wedding cake ..!!! now that 's got you all guessing LOL

Shelly why don't you like Curry ? its lovely you can get all sorts of flavors perhaps you would like a mild one ..don't have to be Indian. I have just had a Thai Green curry ,
couldn't be bothered to do a roast as I ate too much last night.

Mo that photo made me go faint !! I couldn't face it ..LOL

Maddie is that right you work on a Sunday ?..... Oh I wish I could go to that Greek area for clothes I 'm ever so jealous.
I used to go to Petticoat Lane when I lived in London , just mind boggling, don't know if its still there now. I bought my boys their first leather bomber jackets there for Christmas years ago and kept them right up until their children were able to wear them. well worth their money....

Rita why are you getting to pleasure of Stephen and not any of us ?

Evening All [blimey I sound like George Dixon]

Hope all are well. Yeh anything to eat will do for me. I will probably be so excited I wont eat much in any case.

I shall do a Victoria Beckham and eat endame beans. she has a couple, I will have a platefull.

Gonna have dinner soon, back later.
x

Maddie ,

we were posting the same time..LOL

Sorry all but I am jiggered.

I am not contracted to work on Sundays, but there is so much sickness at work, that I did them a favour and went in [plus I get double time].

The Greek quarter for clothes is in Finsbury Park, it is great. Loads of shops where you can buy day/evening dresses, and a bridal shop.

Actually my daughters Wedding Dress came from there. Straight from the factory, it was quite a bit cheaper. Cream Satin. She is strawberry blonde, natural, with porcelain skin, so the white dresses just drained her colouring. Mind you the rest of the stuff bumped it back up a bit.

When people are going on cruises they head there. Fab evening dresses, embellished and plain, and at a fraction of the cost of the big stores. It is great.

Sorry kids, will be turning in soon, Big Day tomorrow.

Nighty night, all.
x

Morning All !

(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?

Tea or Coffee. Toast. Lightly Scrambled Eggs.

YAHOOOOOOO!

It's the big day at the Palace......starts 11.30am

WAIT FOR IT !!!!!!!

Word has it.............it's DAME SHELLY

and SIR BOB McGREGOR.

The rest of the TEAM GR are all getting the MBE.

Didn't we do well.......and as a special treat !!!!!!!!

Sir Cliff Richard, now 70, will be singing a real oldie for us.........

'Congratuations'

I remember my Gran singing that one....it was before my time LOL !!!!!!

See you all at the Palace.

We WILL have a great day ya all !!!!

Morning All. Hope we are all well.

Dame Shelly and Sir Robbie, how fabulous. Well done.

Up, bathed and dressed.

Orft to the hairdressers now to have my hair done. Having my make-up done there too, and will dress in my new outfit there. They have been very accommodating. Lord knows I have spent enough money there over the years.

Excited.

See you all there at Buck House.

x

I got a phone call from the Palace saying they were sorry but the party to meet the Queen has been cancelled due to the Chileian PM being there . but they are going to instruct the PS to send out another date. so who every booked the Ritz for dinner will have to unbook.

I brought a new dress and shoes for the do as well.

Maddie how come you didnt get the phone call as well.?

so I have sorted out my washing might as well do that today.

Rita

I have a lovely day yesterday when my dear son in Law came with my daughter. he walks so slowly. has to c.ould not get about without his walking stick. he is only 60 years old. but he looked better than when I last saw him. still very thin and gets so tired. they brought me three large bunches of flowers They are really lovely so the flat has vases of flowers everywhere. they stayed for three hours. he said it was his frist outing for three months but he did get tired towards the end.

He did eat a small cake as well. so I was pleased about that as he has a job eating.

see you all later.
Love Rita
ps very cold today here in Surrey.

moring all just pop in on the quick am out most of the day

ill just have tea and toast thank you
getting a little fater found the middle with all this lovely food

ok better be off ill pop back on when i get home

Morning All,

Thanks for the breakfast Stephen , only needs cereal & fruit.

Rita how lovely for you to have seen your son, oh why do we worry about them STILL ?
only time will get him to walk a little better , he's done ever so well up to now.

Its a nice day again today, but it did rain during the night.
Glad its turned out nice for Linda she must have ordered the sun before she came here.

Going for coffee at my sisters this morning, her grandson went to Afghanistan last week and she is a bit weepy about it as he is the eldest of her brood, think I'll put some Whiskey or Brandy in her coffee !!

Rita I thought it was today that we are all seeing HMS, I'm all confused now... only I got to be back first thing on Tuesday morning for my meet with MBE LINDA .

Shelly where are you now?, I don't see you much lately are you still up that tree of yours, I still get updates on your tree telling me who you have added , how does that work ?? LOL

Off for me bath......

Morning all.

It's cold and wet here today, so I'm glad I'm going to London, it might be a bit better down there.

Rita, I didn't get that phone call from the palace, are you sure it isn't a hoax? I think someone must be jealous of you getting an MBE so they're trying to stop you from going. Get your glad rags on and make your way over there, you can do the washing tomorrow.

Your son-in-law will build his strength back up after all the chemo is finished, God love him - he's been through a lot hasn't he?
