I've just opened a new bottle of vitamin pills. Shame I had a to use a pair of scissors to help me!

Pat it sounds like you need Iron Tablets, not vitamins. LOL

I think it's a fault in the design. I can open a 30 bottle ok!
These are multi vit tablets and they're quite good.

Oh I see Pat.

The bottle was upside-down. Probably intended for the Australian market along with upside-down cakes.

Just had a thought, I hope Stephen is o.k, as he has not posted tonight.

I hope our Jean and Rita,are both snug and warm tonight.

Goodnight everyone. Mo xxx

Evening All.

Only been a short while. It was mad again at work, cranking up a treat now.

Sleeting a bit here. Got off the bus and bought some chips and walked along eating them. Lovely.

Going for a drink tomorrow night with the girls from work.

Hope everyone is well and warm.

Going boe-boes.
Night All.

Sleep Well Everyone

Mommy
I was just thinking the same!
Dermot, The instructions on the bottle were squeeze and turn. It didn't work. I prised the lid off with a pair if scissors!

Have you noticed as we advance in life things get harder to do ? l.like opening things . whether it is meat in a platic container a parcel or a bottle or Jar. I sprained my wrist a couple of years ago trying to open a jar of jam the lid was crinkly so I could not use the opener that i have to open most jars.It must be men that dream up these idea;s on packaging..you have to use a knife to slit the plastic from the meat in a plastic wrapping container.tins that had a key attached so you have to wind them till the tin lid comes off. all dangerous Mr Health and Safety ignores all these things.The hospital told me they have more people come in to A & E with badly cut hands through trying to open tins and jars etc.

Rita

Shelly did you see The Royal Variety show this evening. I thought it was very good the nly little things I would say is they did have a lot of commedians on I think they could have cut down on that .
I thought "Les Miserables" was good I love that music. I also like the Chelsea Pensioners. bless them, I had a friend who went in there a few years ago. I dont know if he is still in there? he and his wife served in the Atmy as regulars,
The Male Ballet dancer who dance with his partner while Russell Watson san. made me laugh he was too well endowered for that costume he should have worn a darker colour.

I have had my hot lemon and honey drink so I will take a couple of paracetmol and go off to bed.
so I will wish all all a good night and see you tomorrow.

My nephews flight is now booked for tonight from the States the snow is so bad in Washington DC they keep cancelling the flights. my sister has her computer on to see if the plane takes off or not.?

My Great Niece she is 12 years old was due to play in a Carol Concert yesterday her brother had caught the flu and she is worried she will not be able to take part ,as she said she might catch it herself? I asked her what part are you playing then ? her reply was I am playing my Bassoon. she need a lot of PUFF for that. I am waiting to hear from her this morning to see if she managed to play in the concert.

I was attacked by a rafter of turkeys hanging around outside the Butcher's shop this morning.

It seems I upset them when I wished them a Happy Christmas. I reported them to the police for their aggressive cackling & was promised that every effort would be made to have them plucked, stuffed & cooked by Christmas Day.

Hi All,

Been in panic mode the last 48hrs !!

Pete had chest pains that has been going around all of his body......so A&E had a visit !!

He's had all checks done ECG & Blood tests.......no problem just bad indigestion and Blood pressure just a bit high , could be to do with the stress of the last 48hrs of wondering why he was in so much pain. He's back from hospital with his pride hurt ...as he think he's super man having never taken any pills , so now looks like he might have to take blood pressure tablets. A&E told him to visit his GP in Plymouth when we get back......so we are all back together as family grand kids were worried Grampy might have to stay in Hospital for the Christmas, and my Son was very concerned as he whipped him up to the Hospital.

Now all is peaceful.....

Just to let you all know.....be back later..

Marilyn, hope Pete is soon feeling better, what a fright he must have had, specially as you are away from home.
Hope you enjoy your Christmas.

Take care.
Jean xx

Marilyn so sorry to hear Pete had the pain and worry. Thankfully it seems not too much to worry about. Please encourage him to get checked when you get home even if he insists he is fine. We all know what our menfolk are like.

I recieved very sad news yesterday from the Mum of the very first child I cared for. He was about a year younger than my youngest and I started looking after him 23 years ago. He unfortunately had a brain tumor as a pre teenager, but had treatment and was doing well with exams and had just got a job in a school. Well he passed away in his sleep last week, no suspicious circumstances. The funeral was yesterday. Before I got a message from her. She must be heart broken after all he had achieved.

We have had snow in the last hour. Luckily we were back from the dentist. I had a long filling and had to have anaestetic which I usually avoid. But I am OK.

Be back later.

Linda :o) XxX

Oh god what a fright you must have all had Marilyn. But the B.P was probably up because of the worry that Pete was going through.
I am pleased it was just indigestion though. But sometimes it's hard to distinguish the difference, between that and a heart attack.
Roly thought he had a chest infection when he had his, even though he had the pains in his chest and down his left arm.
Silly thing he never even woke me up, he just waited till I woke by myself.
As soon as I saw him, I called an ambulance. Honest men, what would we do with them, or come to that, without them.

Dermot, better to be attacked by a rack of Turkey's, than Hen pecked by a crowd of women.

Still no news from Stephen I see. Lets hope he and Mrs Stephen are o.k.

It's been snowing a blizzard here this morning, and is now laying. That means it's going to be treacherous out there,as it froze under foot last night.

Lets hope Maddie doesn't have to many cups of Tea,and slips over.

Jean, I have warmed up a couple of rashers of bacon and sausages, to have in a sandwich for my lunch, I was to late for breakfast. Never mind, I enjoyed them re-heated just thesame.

A quick hello

very cold here, we had a little snow late afternoon yesterday then it froze overnight

thanks for the cards Linda and Pualine

glad Pete is ok but it must have been a bit scary for you Marilyn

have a good time Maddie, don't drink too much tea or you will be piddling all night lol
