General Chat

Stephen I usualy buy Scots Porriage Oats. I just wondered .why the Quaker name.. My Step Mother in Law Rosie. use to make her porriage thick and she used salt on it. I told my husband ask for cornflakes not Mums oats. he didnt listen and nearly chocked when he gt a mouth full of salt. I told him you would not believe,me. he never had it again without telling Mum suger please not salt.

My son in law polishes my broomstick up for me he said he dont want me getting any dirt on my robe or splinters in my Bum. The only thing I am worried about is the bristles are begining to come out so it is getting a bit thin on that end. I will have to get my black long johns out I suppose.?
I had to patch my hat as well this year I have had it so long it had moths holes in but it looks nice I stuck blue patches over the holes.

Hi all, still in the land of the living but really tired and fed up with having no holiday and having to put up with o.h. off work for two weeks for his holiday - supposedly to finish the bathroom decorating etc he started in Nov 07 and what did he achieve? The rest of the tiles, about ten if that, fixed and grouted, went and got some wood for shelving and boxing off pipework but still standing where he left it when he came back. Bought a bathpanel but that went back as wouldn't fit under the wonky frame that holds the bath in place and he couldn't get that to move after 20 odd years lol He did a few bits round the garden and that was about it! We didn't go out at all and he managed to cook for me once, only tuna and pasta bake and I had to do veg with it and dish up or we wouldn't have had any of our five a day except the sweetcorn in the pasta bake!

His phone is broken since I found the battery in the greenhouse when I spilled water on it and noticed it among the gravel so he hasn't called the son in NY and the son hasn't called him, nor has the other son whose baby is due in a week's time! Did get a copy of photos done by his ex's o.h. and most of them are her and the d.i.l. from NY Any pics with me on were rubbish, I didn't like the look of my outfit after all that and my legs were too white cos I couldn't get the spray tan done with the NY son turning up and o.h. using the car to go and see him, so I wasn't too chuffed. All such an anticlimax and o.h. doesn't even seem excited about the baby, he hasn't written it on his calender but has everything else written in, like the anniversary of his friend's death and other occasions.
I haven't bothered to contact the son who got married as he hasn't called his dad at all, oh except once about two weeks after the wedding and that was only to say o.h. should call the NY son to apologise! What a family.

My son has been working really hard on a second part time job but that's finished for now, it might crop up again, so he is glad of the chance to get a bit extra in his bank account. He managed to get a cancellation driving test and took some more lessons, altogether it cost him over £200 and then he failed again on a couple more silly points, he said he was so nervous his brain wouldn't work. Bless him!
I went out to Bella Italia with him last evening while o.h. is on a week of night shifts, this is the first week for ages I have had evenings to myself as he has worked so many different shifts and been around far too much for my liking lol Bella Pasta was packed and so hot, not enough staff so we had to wait ages and then sat there with empty plates in front of us for another half an hour, we almost got up and walked out. In the end my son went to the Manager and said I suppose I had better come and pay, since no one wants to ask us if we want more drinks or dessert - he told him he had been tempted to walk out. The Manager apologised profusely but the evening wasn't a pleasant one so I have emailed a complaint, maybe we will get some free vouchers lol

Sorry some of you have had mishaps and problems, I have been sleeping a lot and not feeling very well so will see the doc next week. I haven't seen the counsellor for two weeks as one time I didn't feel up to driving there and then she had a week off but will see her again this coming Monday and hope things go well, she has been so very supportive so far and I do feel I am getting through some of my hassles.

Must get to bed before o.h. comes home in a little while, if I don't get off to sleep before he comes in I can't sleep when he comes to bed for his snoring.

Take care all, sorry I haven't been in touch but will try to do better soon lol

Hi everybody.

I'm rushing out today, taking my great niece to see here great, great aunt. In other words.......taking the youngest in my family to see the oldest.

I see we have lots of poets on here........very clever.

Hope none of you put a hex on me with all your spells.

Morning All.

Hi Liz.... I wouldn't worry about your wedding photo's .....just how often do we all look at wedding photo's ? once in a blue moon .. LOL ,yes it is an anti climax it seems all weddings are.. because we all seem to worry about if everything is going to be alright .

Talking of weddings are any of you watching the weddings on channel 4*WEDDING HOUSE* 8pm Tuesday ? well what a fiasco and an eye opener.....and its stupid !!
Almost not real....but it is real.

Now looks like I'm going to miss Halloween .....I don't want to be a witch anyway, I haven't got a pointed nose for starters , so I have nothing in common with witches other than a few cob webs in my barn as I do live with them ,and a few brooms in the garage that don't fly , don't even have warts , well I might have a few on me bum ...LOL

So all in all I'll be flying alright.....in a big bird on Sunday over you lot ....

Hi ya

hope everyone's ok, pleased to hear your news Jean

Marilyn I hope you've got room in your case for me lol, how long are you away for. I think I've found my William Wilson I was looking for by process of elimination (had my Sherlock hat on), I noticed on his marriage cert, one of the witnesses was Redhead and on Lancashire BMD there was a birth of William Wilson whose mother's maiden name was Redhead so I'm hoping thats him, I'll get the cert from Preston LRO

I'll come ''trick or tweat' with you but I'll have to have a break to watch Downton Abbey

x

Do you know I did not log on this morning,. I just lkogged on to read some emails and swung over to GR and found I had missed saying good morning too late now so I will say good late afternoon to you all..

Yvvone I am mad about Downton Abbey I even watch the one they show you of last weeks.just before the sunday one.

I am not tricking ot treating. we dont get the children come around here.I think it is because we are old people. Lol

we do get the Girls Guildes and Brownies come and sing carols to us a few days before Christmas they asked their Guider if they could come and they have been coming ever since.

This Saturday they are having a boot sale to rasie funds so I will try and go along and give them some support..


Yvvone I hope the Rehead turns out to be the one you have been looking for.

Love to all
Rita

Hi Yvonne,
What a clever girl.........Miss Marple's.
Its great when you find the clue's......

I'm off out again for dinner....yippee !!


Back later tonight...

You out again Marilyn? Are you trying to keep your pans clean until you go away? Wish I didn't have to cook tonight.

Rita, you must have been very busy this morning to miss coming on here and saying good morning. Were you doing anything interesting?

Yvonne, that sounds like a pretty safe bet, hope you've got the right one. It gives you as feeling of triumph when you work it out and get the right one.

I was pleased with myself the other day because I found my grandfather's military records on Ancestry. He died before I was born and all I had was a photo of him in uniform. His records show the day he enlisted, the school he went to, his description (including marks), all his postings (and the dates he was at home), where his mother lived...........all kinds of things. Isn't Ancestry brilliant?

im here lol

baby been and back from the hospital it was just a ruteen checkup so looks like every think will still go ahead on the 10th

will read back properly later

Hope everything goes well for him Shelly. Aww, I hope he's a big brave boy.

My niece has an operation on the same day that Olly has his. She's having the same op as her mother (my sister).

Pauline I did everything at a slow trot this morning. I had my breakfast ,of porriage .and then sat and watched the news, then I went and had my shower. stood there a long while as well.
I, prepared my dinner then had a coffee. after that I sorted two big box files out and two small files . so tomorrow I have to start shredding. I think I will fill two black sacks up..
I also need to do my vacuming as well.

I am pleased you got your grandfather papers.
I was lucky with mine we found them in my Dads desk along with lots of other things. they were his discharged papers he was a regular in 7th Dragoon Guards. and served in South Africa. Campaign. Johannesburg. Cape Coloney and The Orange free state.12 years and was discharged in 1903 None of this I would have known if my Dad had not looked after them
My Great Uncle Walter was a Petty Oficer in the Royal Navy and sailed in tall ships we didnt know this till we went to the Archives in Islington and managed to get his record four pages. all the other on my mothers side were Royal Marines and we now have five sets of their service.records.
I always tell people to keep searching the records must be somewhere. my Abslom must be. but his I have not found after 7 years searching.

Rita
