Hi everyone,
I've jsut come back from a week-end away. I went on a coach tour. I stayed in Coventry and there was a trip to The Cotswolds on Saturday and Stratford and Warwick yesterday. It's back to work tomorrow! x

Hello everyone - you seem to be having pleasant weather up top but here it's not so nice. I thought we may get some sun today but it's grey and miserable. Not too cold though.

I had a nice lunch yesterday. Pleasant company plus I got a box of chocolates:-)) Then I had to go into the hospital to do some work in the office. At least 5 or 6 people commented on how smart I looked - does that mean I usually look a wreck?

Well, we didn't like to say anything but.....

So I hope that you have brought the chocolates to share out and haven't scoffed them all yourself.

Chocolates are here for all to share. I haven't opened them yet.

Hi Linda ~~

No just feel in a silly mood, think it's my age !
I've always had naturally curly hair but always blew dried it ,now I let it dry naturally it's just a mop of curls, makes me look and feel different... Look like a clown act like one !!!
Strange when it was longer , below shoulder length but never very long, I used to straighten it. Would go out unless it was wavy rather than curly, now I've gone quite a bit shorter than norm, it's gone really curly, less maintenance, any thing for less hassle.
I've yet to read back over the last time I posted will do that now:)

Hello World.

Hi Tec~~~
Noswaith da:)

Hope you and yours are well:)
If I had Easter choccies mine would still be on the side board too,
well probably not cos hubby and offsprings would have eaten them !

Tec, what a waste, that is just not on, keeping chocolate for that long is just not normal, well to me it isn't

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 11 Oct 2010 21:58

Noswaith da i chi Sandie,

My OH is diabetic so doesn't touch chocs, and I can make them last forever, though I'm not overweight and can eat as much as I like.

Good Evening Linda, Having been brought up in a houseful of siblings I used to hide any chocolate or sweets I had - I think it may be a hang up from then.

When my daughter visits she always goes hunting for my chocolate hoard lol.
