You are welcome to come along, Tec. But no breaking into Welsh singing and don't encourage my mother to discuss everyone in a loud voice however funny you may find her.

I had better come as well Tec. Don't worry Sue, I will make sure that he behaves. Are you coming as well Amanda?

Thank you Sue, we'll meet you there.
I can think of nothing nicer than sitting with your lovely mum encouraging her to talk about everyone in a loud voice - I would love it - that is my kind of humour, and would remind me of my own dear mum.

Not everyone in Wales sings with a pleasing voice, Amanda. You are all welcome to the afternoon tea. You'll have to listen to me giving a 'thank you' speech but I keep it short.

Amanda - Take no notice of Sue, I'm a pussycat, but it's the Duchess you will need to watch out for. I have advised the upstairs maid re the technique for waking Her Grace in the morning. She keeps a revolver under her pillow, and a whisky bottle under the bed.So what you do is creep silently into the bedroom, place the breakfast tray on the bedside cabinet quietly, open the shutters and the curtains quietly, creep back out, banging the bedroom door very loudly behind you, and step sharply aside in order to dodge the bullets as they come through the door, followed by the thud of the whisky bottle.

Goodevening Tec, Linda, Amanda and CC

Goodmorning Sue, your fund-raising afternoon Tea sound's nice but I won't come if you don't mind as it might get to noisy for me and the headache is still with me.

Welcome Sian hope you enjoy are little family group, we are a crazy lot sometime's so don't be scared away you will get used to us all, we have an odd gentleman who talk's to bin's all hour's of the morning.
I am also an honery Aussie from Liverpool.

CC I had another headache to day but it wasn't as bad as yesterday, and yes I know us FM sufferer's are prone to them.

Good evening Diane, we will all whisper quietly so we don't hurt your head

Who said my speech is boring, Linda?

Hi Diane - sorry you still have your headache. You best stay away from the afternoon tea. Especially if this lot are coming along. They're a rowdy bunch.

Tec - you didn't tell us at the interviews that the Duchess has a loaded pistol under the pillow. I'm getting concerned now.

Hmm, maybe you should post your speech on here Sue and we can alter it for you. I am sure we could make it memorable.

Good Evening Diane - Sorry your head is still hurting - have you been at the Bailey's again?

Amanda, I was a boy soprano in the church choir, and the school choir, then my voice broke, and I've croaked like a frog ever since lol.

Tec is not a fully fledged Welsh man are you Tec, now me I was born there, moved away (not by my choise) to little to voice my displeasure, but hope one day to return to my root's and retire there.

Hi Amanda, these headache's tend to stay with me on and off for a few day's, the first time I had continual headaches like this was about 4yrs ago and they lasted every day for about 6week's, didn't know then that it could be to do with FM ( Fibro-myalgia) and Dr sent me for all kind's of test e.g MMR scan and blood test, he said I was probably suffering from migraine but it was later that I discovered the possible connection to FM.
