General Chat

Hi everybody, I've been sitting here making an e-card instead of doing all the things that need to be done.

Pat, I couldn't send it to you because I don't have your email address ..............or Dermot's.

I really need to get something done now, I should write my cards out but it takes ages so I keep putting it off. If I leave it any longer they'll be just in time for next year.

Pauline thank you for the e.cards they are lovely.
Yvonne, what a beautiful horse, and sooooo big. Did you braid the horses mane yourself, if you did, how long would it take to do it.
Of to prepare dinner now, Duck in Orange, with rice. Be back later,

Hi Everyone.

Oh so much to say....

Pauline you are such a clever girl......how you do it I'll never know, a big thank you for for E card. very pretty.

Linda thank you for your card.....I have just remembered your Hubby's name ..LOL
I could remember FIL name.

Yvonne ,Your horse is beautiful what a beauty !! bet you cant believe he's grown from the foal picture.

I am busy with the kids.......doing a puzzle....gosh I got better things to do !!

Just popped to say my thanks ...X

Hellooooooo where is everybody.

Has anyone heard from Maddie since first thing yesterday morning.
It's a bit of a worry, I do hope she was not caught up in the riots yesterday.

Even Stephen is quiet today, thats not like him. Unless of course he's still at work.

I know that Rita has been involved on Chat, in the debate about the student riots yesterday. You go girl, give em what for.

La la la, I am bored talking to myself, think I will go get a cuppa.

There are more people who don’t than do. I'm one of them, I'm told!

evening all

my liveing room already looks like santa groto

Hello Everyone.

Thank you for your concern Mommy. I am fine.

I work late nights on Thursday. Had shopping to do Thursday morning. Work all day/evening. Got in late, tired. Overslept this morning [have not done that in years] and have just had dinner. So here I am.

Hope everyone is well and warm.

Watched the riots on tv. I think it was disgraceful. The carnage that has been left behind is apalling. Arson, graffitti, damaged builings, broken windows, fighting with the police. I am at a loss to understand what all that disturbance had to do with Education Fees. I notice the ring leaders had masks on. Have the courage of your convictions I say.

The police cannot do right for wrong. If they defend they are in trouble. If they act leniently they are still wrong. I cannot see how they can win.

I will probably be back later. A bit tired, and getting fretful. lol


edit. Thank you for the lovely card Pauline, you are very clever.
Yvonnes horse is beautiful. A chestnut. I used to work for Weatherbys. We got to visit stud farms and racecourses. They were wonderful animals.

Thank goodness you are back Maddie. I even checked Auntie Moties thread to see if you were about, then saw that you had had great fun in the
MP's flat LOL.
It must be madness working in town at this time of year, especially with yesterdays problems,and all the visitors.

Shelly, have you got Santa's grotto sorted for little man. It will be special watching him opening his presents, bless his little cotton socks.

mo
herbert has already been at the tree he has took one of the bows of and pulled it apart lol

marilyn whats with the new name lol
you gave up with the little face

Mommy I am very touched that you were worried about me.

You are right, it was madness. I am really disgusted that the mayhem was all in the name of equality.

I see Shelly has been decorating. We will be getting the boxes out this week end. We have a 7ft tree, and a 2ft one. I think I know which one will be put up. lol

Christmas is all for children. When they are grown it is not the same.

My Mum used to sing a song for us at Christmas, had us in tears.

The little boy that Santa Clause forgot.

Apparently Michael Aspel's Mother used to sing it too. He spoke of it on the Antiques Roadshow.

God Maddie you must have high ceilings with a 7ft tree.
We put our tree and decs up a few days ago. Just glad to get it over and a done with really.
Christmas is not Christmas, without children waking in the early hours,full of excitement,running down the stairs to see if Santa had been.
Our Christmas really starts at tea time, when the whole family descend on us. It's a bit of a squeeze with the 25 of us, but I love it.

Right I am away to watch Strictly Come Dancing, it's the finals weekend.

Maddie, my dad used to sing that song to us at Christmas, I'm sure he sang it to make us feel we were lucky .............whatever we got.

Oh, and thank you for the e-card, it's lovely.

Thanks to Maddie, Pauline and Marilyn for the e-cards they are lovely.

Well as we didn't get to Windsor, due to 2 ladies being unwell, I managed to get the tree up and decorated. I also found more of the free standing decorations which I had forgotten about, another Santa, a robin, a basket, a snow globe and I have a white sparkly hedgehog(bought in France several years ago).

Been to friends for an indian take away this evening. Hubby now dozing in the chair.
Got home to a message from siter in law................... Dad is back in hospital !!! He had a fall, is OK but bruised and his BP is too low so they want to check that. Guess he'll be in over the weekend until Monday at least. Must ring in the morning too late now,SIL is an early bird..

Catch you all in the morning

Linda :o) XxX

Mommy dearest. I live in a big Victorian House.

There are about 10 steps up to the front door. The ceilings are about 16ft high. All the bleeding heat goes up there, not where we need it.

There are bay windows in the front, from floor to ceiling. All sash windows that cannot be double glazed.

The house is on a corner of two roads. One whistles from the north, the other from the east.

Get the picture. A big old draughty house.

Lovely and airy in the Summer. Bl@@dy cold in the Winter.
lol

I hope I dont get a snotty nose, I will have icicles.

Right it's past my bed time now, so I will say god night one and all, speak to you tomorrow.

Me too Mommy.

Budge over, and dont pinch all the covers. lol
