Great Avatar YG....you've been putting Aunty's calendar link to good use then? ;-)
And thank goodness LG has recovered her equilbrium with a nice clear version.

We don't celebrate our Wedding Anniversary now either...we both forget!!! Eldest used to remind OH, but she probably thinks we are old enough to do so ourselves -lol

Puss - sorry, eating a bar of chocolate half asleep won't reduce any weight gain, although you may end up with nightmares and indigestion !

Both my son-in-laws like me ... :-) :-) and I like both of them.

They are both fantastic husbands for my daughters and they are wonderful fathers to MY Grandchildren. My girls are very lucky.

We forget our wedding anniversaries as well. When it came to our silver many years ago the girls said we'll celebrate that one eh mum. Huh!! all four of us forgot.

I always remembered my parents wedding anniversary, they got married on her birthday so that made it easy.

I am laughing. You lot are so funny. I thought that might capture LGs attention. Down, girl, down.

And now introducing. Aunty Sherlock. A fairy, dressed in a fairy dress, hob nail boots, a deer stalker hat, tena undergarments, and carrying her super charged wand. Aunty had to choose between a wand and her faithful striped sabre tooth tiger spot. I think the wand is more useful (whispered, so Spot doesn't hear).

Hmmm not bad for a first effort. Needs some tweaking. Can't have wings not an option.

Morning Maz, and welcome home. S*d the unmentionable, just catch up on your rest ;-)

Had a terrible senior moment yesterday; as previously mentioned, I have new varifocals, and computer glasses. When driving in the dark late afternoon/early evening, my vision was terrible...all the lights were blurry and it was clearer peering over the top rather than through the lenses. The same continued while watching the TV later...couldn't read the text which I could the evening before. Much swearing and cursing with plans made to go back the optician toot sweet.
It turns out, I'd been wearing the computer (mid range) glasses instead of the varifocals :-(

Persie, what a shame about your 25th Anniversary. We did remember that one, being taken out for a family meal. On our 30th we were treated to a 'tasting food and wine menu' at our local posh Italien restaurant. :-D
You'll have to throw the boat out when you reach your Ruby anniversary, or the next milestone!!

No it's not the other one. I did it on a web site called Doppel Me. Sort of like a barbie doll dressing program. Did not have exactly what I needed but close enough.

I know what you mean about the glasses DET. I have two pairs, one for distance which I only use for watching TV and the other for making my brain work, ie reading, writing, counting, shopping etc etc. Often pick up the wrong pair and wonder why the world has gone blurry.

I am off to bed. Catch you all in the morning.

Ah, a cultural misunderstanding.

'One I made earlier' is attributed to a childrens TV programme from our youth called "Blue Peter" (think its still going strong). They have a section on craft items, and always say 'and here's one I made earlier' producing the completed 'next step' from under the table.

They are also fond of 'Sticky back plastic'. They joked at their own expense many years ago; one of the Presentors was cycling through a Boeing aircraft manufacturing hanger, saying to camera as she passed the aircraft in various stages of production

" And here's one I made earlier and wrapped in sticky back plastic" :-D

Now you've completed the must do list, time to chill Maz.

I is a lady wot lunches today, so must away and put on the glad rags.

Catch you later.

I have written a charry letter to my uncle in Dumfries with a list of questions lol His second wife thinks its funny .his mum was the said carrier pigeon from person to person and it was his mum who had the death certificate corrected for Molly so I wonder if he has any gems in his archives .She had kept snippets from parish magazines for funerals and weddings etc lists of mourners etc

Afternoon Maz - it would be wonderful if your Uncle had anything tucked away; unless he has interested children of his own, perhaps you could persuade him to lend you the archive to copy??

A good snack lunch down the pub today (only half a shandy :-P) for 3 hours until they started wiping the table under us, LOL. We bought chocolate covered brussel sprouts at the adjoining farm shop for our respective familes (one sprout per recipient). OH bit into his expecting a sweet filling, while PC wasn't sure whether to spit or swallow!!!! :-D :-D

Evening all.

Love the avatar Aunty!! And thank you for the weblink, even though it did send my blood pressure through the roof!!

Had to change mine back again, as I have been on Puss's thread and I thought it might be a bit too much!! Am still looking for something that takes my fancy!!

I have decided that my new cp will be a Prairie Dog and his name is Pepi. His demands aren't great so he will be an economical pet in these hard times!!
