Thanks for the pic Mandy. Max is a lovely boy and looks so snugglable. :-) I love his little paws and ears. It looks like a big litter there! Yes, OH had that 'here we go again, what's she done now' look and was grinning away as he walked off and left me to sort it out!! lol.

Ahhhh Mandy nice to know you have changed your mind about getting a puppy sooner rather than later.


I hav'nt got the pic of little Max Mandy. Can someone send it on to me please??????

Oh that's lovely Mandy. You should have a lot of fun with a Lab!
We're off to bed now as we've got a busy day tomorrow!

That's odd both Mel's and Liz's puppy photo's have been returned to me
I'll try again .

I think Mel's has gone through but Liz's has been returned again !! perhaps some one could send it on please .

Thanks Mandy I have it ok now and have forwarded it to Liz.

He is a smasher. Did you not think of having a bitch puppy?

The pic looks lovely Mandy, I love black animals, they're so adorable. I bet you can't wait to get him and Max is such a nice name too.

Sorry to hear FIL's false teeth have gone missing Ann and it won't be cheap to have them replaced either.

Good luck at the dentist tomorrow Mel, hope it won't be to long before your teeth are sorted for you.

So Cass is looking all smart now with her new hair cut Liz. You do look after her well, don't you?

Yes Sandra is really hoping to get the snow at Easter Jane, her sister has had snow a few times this year and we've had none, so she'll be made up if we do get some. I just hope it doesn't go to cold for her or she might have to make her snowman in shifts, coming in to warm up until it's finished. If she does make one I'll take a photo and show you all.

Off to bed now
See you all tomorrow
Night Night

I've just sent the pic of Mandy's new pup to you Liz, but forgot to write something on the email, sorry. I'm really tired and didn't realise until after I sent it........silly me. Hopefully it'll arrive to you okay.

See you all in the morning
Night

Morning all and evening Kim,

Dull wet and still raining and windy too so not a nice day here at all.


Can't stay long as I have a lot to do before I leave for the dentist.

Gill I had already sent Liz Mandy's pic of little Max.

Hope everyone is well this morning

Morning all

Rainy start to the day, but it's dried up a bit now.

Yes I noticed you had sent the pic after I'd sent it Mel. Never mind Liz will have it twice now LOL.

Good news, WE'VE JUST SOLD THE BUNGALOW :-D :-D for the full asking price. They're cash buyers and in rented accommodation at the moment, so no chain......bonus.

OH has just gone to get us a solicitor. So now we're going to have to find somewhere to live and start packing. I'm still in shock as the bungalow has been on the market for almost six years. We should be moving at the beginning of June, so I hope the weather is nice to us. I was beginning to think it was never going to sell.

Going to get a cuppa, I've got a very dry mouth now <3 <3

Not to worry, I've now got two!!
What a horrible morning it is here!! Our visitors aren't due till 11pm, they're coming from Bristol, so I hope the motorway isn't too busy!!
Cas had a quick run this morning and is now in her crate drying off. She's wearing a towelling jacket we bought for Millie years ago! It's much too big but very warm, so she snuggles up in it and is soon dry and toasty!
Need to put away Ian's gloves!!! WHY does he leave things out ALL the time?!!grrrrr!

Just seen your post Gill! That's wonderful news!!!!!

Pinch Punch and all that !!!!

Good morning all, Evening Kim,

GILL, What wonderful news, yoy will have to get your finger out now, to find another property. Are there any in the next village for sale in your price range ?? or will you consider moving to another area. ?? Whatever you decide "GOOD LUCK"

When I was in hospital with my stroke. The nurse bought a pot with my name on it, for me to put my teeth in every night. I can't believe they could loose someones teeth.

What are you like Ann ??? I can just see that cake and cream flying everyehere, I bet your OH was in his GLORY see you like that ;-) ;-)

That must have been very interesting being able to go down to the LOCK bottom. I often wondered what was down there, now I know :-D :-D

Mandy if you need a dog sitter, you know where I am. !!!

Ros asked if I would like to go to Paignton for Easter. When I mentioned the weather might be snow and minus 14 she said perhaps we should stat at home. TO RIGHT !!

Little max's photo is flying around the Countryside, the way he's going he will get very giddy. lol and might go VIROL.

Certainly no plans for anything outside today. We woke to rain and it's still lashing down out there. It will do Ros's plants good getting a good watering in.

Ros has made 11 coverers now. She has been sorting out all her materials, ready to get started on more. She hopes to take Twenty plus to "LINUS" next time she goes.

Enjoy your company today Liz, what a pity the weather is so bad.

See you all later.

Gill I'm so pleased for you selling your bungalow with no chain, you will be busy now looking for a new home and plenty of packing to do.

Mandy Max looks so adorable he is a lucky boy going to a good home, your grandchildren will be exited about him, have you told them yet?

It's been a wet day here but when I took Amy out earlier it was only spitting about then.I've changed the beds the duvets etc are now in the tumble drier. Did an earlier wash and ironed Richard's shirts and a couple of my blouses.The vegetables are all prepared for the evening meal so I might look at the family tree on Ancestry later.

I hope you have a good time with your visitors Liz and they have a good journey travelling to you.

I don't blame you Frank deciding to stay put at Easter, it is early this year so not unusual to get some snow.

Stopped raining, but very cloudy.

My left calf is sore, I had cramp in it during the night. It feels like I have been kicked. COULD IT HAVE BEEN ROS. ???

I had a nice surprise. While I wasin the shower Ros had done all the Vegetables for tonight. I went in the kitchen to do them, and there they were all done <3 <3

Bin men came this morning and just threw the food caddy down on the path, which blew or rolled into the road. They just don't seem to care.

Ros has gone off to Post Jan's Birthday Present and have her nails done. She will pick up bits and bobs from Tesco on the way home.

How did you get on with your teeth Mel. ??

Washing machine will be finished soo. (I didn't know she had put it on) I will sort out what can go on the rads, and go into the T/D. That will save her a job when she gets back.

You have been busy Anne, All the bedding washed and shirts ironed.

I had a joke with Pat this morning. She showed some photo's of the area where she lives (LOOKS VERY NICE) I asked if she did B & B . She replied that I would be welcome any time. So watch out Pat ;-) ;-) ;-) <3 <3 <3

Sorry to hear you leg is troubling you Frank, my OH has cramp a lot and sometimes his legs are so sore he can hardly walk. Hope you start to feel better soon. How nice of Ros to do the vegetables for you, I bet that was a lovely surprise? Don't over do things with the washing if you're in pain, I'm sure Ros won't mind sorting it out herself. Take it easy until you feel better.

Have a great time with your visitors Liz. did you mean 11am as you put 11pm which is quite late for visitors LOL?

You've been busy Anne, I have days like that sometimes, it's so nice when you have a good day getting on with things isn't it? Good luck with your family tree. I've been taking a look at mine recently and now have someone in Australia checking a few things I've found. Hopefully I have it right as it's not the easiest of country's to search in. Hopefully things will be a lot easier for you.

I've had a bit of time to calm down now, but still can't get excited. I think it's because my mum has to go into hospital on Thursday so I'm concerned about her as it's about her heart and she might have to go for an operation next week. Plus until the survey is done on this place I don't really want to count my chickens before they're hatched, so to speak.

I've been in touch with the solicitor so have an appointment with him tomorrow. OH and I want to know more about the situation with Michelle and the deeds. I rang the insurance we have for that to make sure we're still insured as I wasn't sure if it was only for a year then needed renewing. Good news on that front, we have the insurance indefinitely unless it is cancelled which we've no intensions of doing. So we will be taking the paperwork to the solicitors tomorrow. We are also viewing a property in the next village tomorrow as well, so quite a busy day for us.

Then of course it's off to mum's on Thursday morning before she goes into hospital in the afternoon. The viewing we had on Friday has now been cancelled as the couple who want to buy our place only offered us the asking price if we took no more viewings, which we've had to agree to for now.

The Agent is going to make a note of anyone who is interested incase the couple decide not to buy, so she has a list of people interested incase we need to start the viewings again. So all in all I've been quite busy sorting some things out this morning and now I'm trawling the internet looking for properties to view while OH has gone into work.

I'm hoping we can do a few viewings on Thursday afternoon as OH has tomorrow and Thursday off, before he's back in work for three days. I won't be going to the hospital with mum as she's said it's just a quick check up but I'll probably be with her the following week if she needs to have the operation.

I had a falling out with Michelle the other day over the deeds situations so have sent her a text apologising, she hasn't replied yet but that's probably because she's in work. At least I hope so and she hasn't stopped talking to me :-( :-(

So at the moment I've got quite a lot of stressful things going on in my life. At least the sun is shinning so that's making me feel a little better. I've got a bit of an upset tummy at the moment, but think it might be a bit of nerves with everything happening all at once.

Sandra is feeling a bit better but still has a sore throat, thankfully it hasn't got any worse so no need to take her to the doctors. She's excited about the move and can't wait to have a new bedroom done out in pink.......her favourite colour...bless her <3

Very pleased that you've sold it :-D :-D

Afternoon all

Oh Gill i'am so pleased for you ,you must be over the moon .

It's been pouring here most of the morning now the suns out .

How did you get on at the dentists Mel ? hope she has sorted your plate out for you .

Well what a day we have had , hubby had an appointment at the doctors about his swollen legs and feet , the doctor thought he should go straight to hospital to have a scan to rule out DVT ,so off we went ,he had to have a special blood test to see what level his blood was ,if it was high then he might have a blood clot , we had to wait an hour she said before the result was back from the lab the result came back an hour and a half later and was slightly higher than it should be so she then said that hubby would need an ultra sound scan and there were no appointments left for today so we have to go back tomorrow .
She then said he would be treated as if there was a clot to be on the safe side so he had an injection in the tummy ,once he has the ultra sound tomorrow we will know if he has a clot or not !! and will need more injections ...... i feel worn out now the hospital was so hot , hubby felt quite sick on the way home so i don't know if that was because of the injection or the heat in the hospital ,he says he feels better now .
Better sort out some thing to eat now ,we had a coffee and a sandwich in the hospital £10 -70 !! they know how to charge !!

Our visitors have just gone as they have to be back for Buzz (their pony!) and the.wind is getting up! Yes I meant am Gill!!! typing error!!! We've had a lovely.day as son turned up with some lovely bulbs in a garden display + a card for mother's day!! He came to the Pub with us for a quick sandwich before scuttling back to work 35 miles away! We had a lovely lunch and a lot of chat! did us both good!
Cas only had a quick run, and poor girl spent most of the day in her crate :-( Ian's taking her for a potter up the road in a minute, then she can play in the house this evening.
I think it's very wise Gill to talk to your solicitor about your house sale/Michelle. Do the buyers know what the situation is or will your solicitor let theirs know?
Quite a bit colder now!!

O Gill thats very good news indeed and I hope the survey goes off without a hitch and that you find somewhere else you'd like to buy.

I have to go back to the dentist tomorrow afternoon to collect my mended teeth. I also had two impressions done and have two more appointments plus the one I already had on March 15th wjhich is in just two weeks time.She said I need a clean and polish but the last time I went the hygenist said she could'nt do anymore for me. I suppose they just want some more money out of me. I should ask if I can have the cleaning for a quarter of the price as I only have 8 teeth left.

Ros is really getting on with those childrens covers Frank. Is she paid for doing them??? after all she is using your leccy etc.

Anne you have had a day like I had the other day. No sunshine here today its just been that terrible mizzle that gets into everything.

Silly fool forgot to post this and Iv'e emptied the washing machine and corned the chickens and bantam since I wrote it.
