Morning EVERYONE.

We have sunsine here at the moment and a blue sky but dont think it will last all day I wish it would.
Shelly your a good girl trying to help others out did she get back to you with the photo.?
I am enjoying my Tea and Toast while on here. I want to get things sorted so I can get the parcels to the PO and find other information out.
I also need to do some shopping for FOOD
I had a bad nights sleep I kept getting up and walking about then I lay thinking of things I needed to get from the shops. so I got up and made the list out and went back to bed with a cup of tea. in the end I lay there reading for two hours. I hate it when I dont sleep well.
I hope you all had a good night sleep.
see you later unless I fall asleep in the chair.

Morning Stephen and Rita
Thanks for the cuppa.
Up later this morning. It is quite nice here too Rita.
We slept poorly too a fox was barking at about 3:00 and it always takes time to get back off.
Managed another christmas card last night, need to sort the overseas cards from British ones now. Than local walkable ones which I will take round with Little at the begining of December, before something takes a hand and they go too late to be appreciated.
Sky coming at lunchtime to install a new box = HD and + . A friend coming after lunch for a chat then other friends coming from London for dinner tonight with their daughter and grand daughter just a year old.
So busy today again.
Oh the car is a diaster!!! Needs a new fan and motor to run it £600 also bushes found worn in the back axle total cost around £1500 Oh and they have to order the parts so need to take it back when they are in. Hoping we don't suffer any more frosts for a week as hubby is leaving at 5:00 and hates to drive without heat in the car and to defrost the screen. Who'd have a car. Shoes are much cheaper !!! Thats why I walk so much eh?

Have a good day everyone.

Linda :o) XxX

Oh Linda, that's an expensive repair job.

By the sounds of it, you'll be too busy with your hectic social life to think about it anyway. Hope everything runs smoothly.

Rita, sounds like you'll need to have a sleep in the chair later.

Thanks for the poached eggs on toast Stephen, one of my favourites.

I'll be off out soon, hope you all have a lovely day.

Pauline I went to post some parcels at the post office . the walk did me good woke me up. parcels to servicemen go free if they weigh 2 kg or under.but they have to be sent by 21st Novmeber otherwise they wont get them. I got her too weigh a Christmas cards as I brought two boxes from McMillian Nurses charity and they had a litte bit that stuck out on the front

yes this is weired this change we have a time on the right hand side of the page. I think this will put people off the threads.
I had an email from my sister just now. she went to Westminster Abbey with her church they visited the shine of Edward last night and had a tour of the church . she missed seeing Kate Middlton who had gone there a little while before her church party went. It looks like they will get married in Westminster.

Testing..................to see if I've lost my face.



Edit: Yep, lost it!

Got lots of pretty (accent) letters instead.

Sent myself a PM to see what my name looked like and I've still got my face on.

Think I might go over to records and do some look-ups so I can have a gold star on my name.

Jean, I forgot to say........your contact will still have your name, you can only delete things from your own account.

But Rita was right, you should still have them in your 'Inbox' or your 'Sent Messages'.
