Ello Ello, is you all gone again.
Pauline what shopping did you do,was it christmas present buying.
I have nearly finished all of ours. I spent about three hours wrapping up the residue, of what I bought the other day, whew shattered now.

Shelly are you having a bonfire,as well as the fireworks. You could always make a guy and use the trousers that the old man keeps on splitting.
Can you shove one of them sausage rolls down the cyber hatch for me PLEASE, I am feeling rather peckish now.

Well Maddie, will you be getting some well earned lie ins in the mornings, now that you are on holiday for 9 days.
Will the lady who does for you being having the time orft as well. LOL

Ooooh Stephen, you naughty, but I like you aka Dick Emery. Getting slimmer for christmas though, no I dont think so. If the dress don't fit, tough, I will buy a bigger size. I likes my food to much,and at my time of life, I am not going on no diet.

Dermot, polytics------ are they what clever kids get when they go to college,and get a question right.

Dermot
I lived in Norfolk about 10 years ago might be a little longer. we use to get a noticed come in our local l newspaper, that we elderly ,could go to the villiage hall or to the hall in Great Yarmouth, where we were handed butter and cheese which was from the common market. they use to bulk buy and stock had so much left over they started giving it away free. you had to take your pension book with you

We have a bonfire but it's just to get rid of garden rubbish, we live in a smokeless zone and it's the only time we can get away with having a big fire.

Rita, it wasn't my computer that was down, it was the server 'Orange', everyone in this area that's on Orange had the same problem. BT was down as well, don't know what caused it.

Hello Dermot, nice to see you on the thread, I thought Stephen was the only man brave enough to come on with a thread full of women.

Mo, I was buying clothes................for me, getting more like Marilyn every day.......LOL

Pauline thats what I like to hear,buying clothes for yourself,for a change, instead having to get food. What did you get?

It's so noisy here at the moment, fireworks are going of,left right and center. There is a big display going on, just up the road from us. Better that than having them at home. ( sorry Shelly ). They cost so much to buy nowadays,and are gone so quickly, it's a shame all that money going up in smoke.

I have got two of the grandchildren coming over tommorrow. I am looking forward to that,bless them.

I wonder what Marilyn has been up to today. Marilyn, don't tell us if it's been glorious weather, we will sulk.

I hope both Jean and our Rita are o.k.

Dermot, even though I live in Kent, I don't originate from here. Guess where I was born..... ( no not in a hospital lol )

Mo, I bought 3 pairs of skinny jeans, black, denim and grey cord. Plus long black boots to go over them.

There's fireworks going off here as well but I can hardly hear them because son has his music on so loud.

Dermot, they all live in the south, apart from Stephen (he lives in Scotland) and me (l live in the north).

Hope everyone in London 'enjoyed' the recent Tube strike!

I usaually hear the troop from Pirbright. and Aldershot and Bisley when they are doing there Gun pratice. so I am use to these crash bang whalops. going off at all times. but I think tonight it might be a bit over the top as the Indians have their celebrations.

Sue who pops in and out like a weather cock in a clock.
I expect Maddie is on the top of Hampstead Heath looking at all the firework displays over London.
Lady seems to have left us to our devices.
Stephen is in his kilt directing the firework display. waving a haggis as a weapon.

Shelly is busy lighting fireworks for her family gathering, don't know where Mo went.

Yes Rita, I got a free wireless router as well but had to buy the splitter things that go into the phone sockets.

Dermot, our Marilyn lives in Devon but she lived in London for a long time as well. She's on holiday at the moment but she'll still be posting when she's got time.

Edit: Mo, I didn't see you because I changed the music over for son before I clicked on 'Submit'.

Wonder if everyone is out watching fireworks.

Marilyn, hope you've got plenty of room in your case for all those presents, you might have to buy a new case to put ours in.

Have you looked at any rings yet?

What's very deep Dermot?
