Annx I will keep an eye out for that programe and see what it is all about.

Mel....You do have alot of wood ready for bonfire night..

I will be down my sons for that weekend..It will be my youngest grandsons 1st birthday.. and the family should all be there. Hubby has been to buy fireworks already as we are on holiday on Saturday.. no room for a bonfire though..

I am still having to put up with a lot of noise comming from there as well..

Girls Im a size 12 /14 depending on the style and make... but being only 5ft 1/2 makes you look bigger.I get fed up with shortening trousers..the short ones are too short I have to have medium length and shorten them myself..
I lost 12lbs at xmas and havent put it on...

You have been busy Frank..I live in a terrace house and only have a small garden.I used to knit at one time until the children decided that wanted bought jumpers...I remember knitting a dress for myself...I looded like twiggy then lol.

Maureen..you and your son have taken on abig project..good luck...I only had 3 rooms done after they got wet..

Fiona ..It always feels nice when you have your hair cut short..Mine is tick so she has to thin it out as well...Then you look at the floor and think is that all mine.

Evening everyone. Neck a little better today so thought I would use the computer for awhile. Did not go to archives this afternoon as 3hours too much at the moment. The weather has been very cold today with just a couple of heavy showers but frost forcast.
I must say that I live in my jeans and sweatshirts at this time of the year, Have worn a skirt today as jeans washed and dried so back into a pair again tomorrow.Glad to hear that everyone is feeling better.
Have never had beetroot and cheese sandwiches but will give them a go. :-D

Evening all
Feel light as a feather mean my hair not my weight, lol
Got it cut a little shorter than normal as it looked like it was dragging me down with my face being thinner,
Was really windy and raining when I went to hairdressers at 2 but by the time I came out hour & half later it had stopped raining and I was able to walk home Mel, takes me about 1/2 hour, it was still windy so I kept my hood up.

Hey it was dark here tonight at 6.30, and daughter no 2 said it was cold when they came down for dinner,

Jane we get a lot of huge spiders running over our living room carpets this time of the year, I hate it when OH is away and I have to catch them myself and throw them out of the back door or open a window to get rid of them.
we have cemented up a hole in the old back porch and thankfully we are not getting any more slugs in (shudder) horrible slimy things, I suppose they want to come in from outside because it's wet and cold.

Evening all

I thought I had posted this morning but i hadnt.

It has been cold out today but sunny....I felt chilled though this afternoon since visiting a friend....I had a nice hot bath and washed my hair before dinner and have been wearing Pjs since...I have a new dressing gown that hadnt been used so I am wearing that now...
I have to battle to work against the wind and back...not nice now...The clocks go back in two weeks then we know winter is on the way..

The man next door who caused all the flooding moves into his house on monday...No more rent will be paid to him for elsewhere...There is still alot to do in there...

Ooooh Mel ! I have just caught the BIGGEST spider running across the carpet.
I thought it was one of Chesters bits of food that had fallen out of the ball thing he has that he rolls around the floor.I don't think the Conkers that we have placed around the room are working at keeping spiders away :-S

Ann that sounds like it could be an interesting programme.Thanks for that info.

Shirl I am not giving my size away other than to say I am not 'petite' ;-)
My dear old Dad was someone who could never put weight on and was really skinny.He hated wearing short sleeves and I never remember him wearing shorts.He always felt awkward about his thinness .I have the opposite problem lolol

Yes it was!!!!

Have hoover through the hall and oh's study while he was in the garden. There must have been about 15 spiders in his room. All up on the ceiling which I can only just reach since oh used the other pole for the hoover and lost it!!! I need that other 14 inches to reach comfortabley.

Good to see our Maureen is back and has been busy. I suppose it is alright doing up a place when there is'nt anyone living there. It means you can leave the things till the next time you go there.

Maureen Frank did'nt fall in the SKIP he fell in the TIP throwing branches in a big hole.

I see there is a 10 part Find My Past show a bit like WDYTYA starting 20th October. They find 3 people who are linked to some significant historic event.

Maureen I would love to have done that (but a few years ago!) First OH and I bought an old run down house and garden (that we lived in) and did it all up. Good luck with it and a good idea to get the garden straighter before the bad weather starts. More filling, sanding and painting inside then! :-)

Better get the radio on now .......OH will ask me if I listened to him. lol

Blimey ! that was a long post from me.

Wow Maureen.Sounds like a challenge for you lol.I can just picture getting stuck in.Good for you :-D
Chris had a case which I can now tell as it is finished.It was a Sexual Abuse case .A 53 year old Step Grandfather and an 11 year old girl :-0 :-0.Not nice.
He hasn't been required again since but still has 2 more days to go.He has spent most of today breaking up pallets and other wood for kindling ,and now I have enough to last for months.
I bought a new Companion Set (not firearms like I said earlier :-S) and scuttle.So am now ready to light the first fire.I might do that on Friday when our visitors are here.

Chester is fine thanks.These lumps are not causing him any bother ,but just need to come off.

I wear Jeans these days,although they are not my favourite type of trouser.
I never wore trousers as a child.I hated them.
I think I might see if I an get a pair of black jeans too.I like the stretch ones with straight legs.I need a bit of stretch with my tum lol

Frank ,Chris says thanks but no thanks for helping you in your garden ,he has enough to do here :-D :-D :-D

My eyes have been so itchy and irritated since we had all that smoke around our house last week.I don't know what else would have made them like this.Touch wood there is just a small amount of smoke still coming from the site now.Let's just hope a third fire doesn't occur.

I have been awake since 4 am again.I got up for a wee and just couldn't get back off to sleep.I read my book trying not to disturb Chris (but I think I did) :-|

Frank I love the sound of the Click Clack of knitting needles.I find it quite soothing.I don't know anyone who knits these days.My sister used to some amazing jumpers,but even she has given up.
She has had her Inlaws staying for a few days.I think they have gone today.Poor Janice really doesn't like her MIL.I must admit she is not a particularly nice person.Full of critisim and bossy with it :-S.Janice gets cross when her OH doesnt face up to his mum.So I think the atmosphere is always a bit tense lol

I had better start thinking about dinner.I want to be like Ann and go out for a Carvery.

Hi All, glad to hear all the tests were fine Kim, all we need is Fiona to get in and have her op and we should all be fighting fit.

I have been soooooo busy. Son and I have gone into the property development game, bought a repossession house, what a tip, how can people live in such squalor, no prizes for guessing where I was asked to start, son told me I could be head gardener, only gardener more like, it was like a jungle, with brambles and ivy and weeds growing everywhere, have had to work doubly hard to get the lawn seed down quickly before it gets too cold, now I have been demoted to gofor, there is so much to do,new windows, kitchen, bathroom, doors, flooring, it goes on and on, still I do love a big project (just as well).

Did you really end up in the skip Frank, I have this very funny vision of you head first with your legs waving in the air.

Hope Chester is okay Jane. Has Chris finished his jury service now, did he get an interesting case

Doesn't Prince Charles have a 'stumpery' in his garden? All planted up with ferns.

Still sunny here, but the forecast for tomorrow sounds like what Fiona has today. I bet your OH is glad of his coat too Mel......it is much colder than a few days ago. I noticed OH had put his blue woolly hat with his car keys earlier......it's first outing this season.

What is the bird you have seen this morning?

I must say I love my jeans too and tend to live in them.

Glad your test results were ok Kim. I bet you feel quite relieved about that. It is good that they will keep an eye on things with your blood. How is Miranda now.....did she move in with her boyfriend?

Frank, you must be careful.........you could end up in the shredder!! :-S :-S Sounds as if your neighbour felt he had been a bit mean to you yesterday.

I love beetroot and cheese sandwiches too. I always seem to get the juice on something though!

OH is on his way to Leek now with 3 passengers. He knows the way by heart as he used to manage the office in Leek which is just up the road from where the match is. He has left me the radio, ready tuned in, to listen to him on Radio Leicester later.........hope I don't forget.....says it will be about 1.00am before he gets home.

I thought about going to Grantham this afternoon, but have decided to stay in out of the blustery wind and sort some paperwork instead.

I hope William's wife is getting better after her operation.

Yes, where is Maureen?.........painting?

Snap Frank.

Think I may do a casserole for dinner after himself being outside sitting on the digger getting cold. That should warm him up.

I might put a chicken one in too and have that tomorrow.

Off to hoover the hall now and do a bit of dusting and I may clean the bedroom windows!!!! Shock horror........... :-S

Winds cold outside!!

Oh has moved the big tree stump over the field and nearer to the bonfire where the other stumps are. Wind must be cold because he has his coat on and thats unusual for him.

Mel, Cheese and beetroot sandwich, smashing. I ofter have one on Sunday evening.

Mandy, Wouldn't it be nice to be recycled and come back as a twenty odd.year old. I have finally finished for today, eight barrow loads, and not a bit in the neighbours skip. This is when I could do with a nice hot bath, to ease the aches and pains, will have to make do with the MAID giving me a massage. I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY, LUCKY, LUCKY.

Still a lovely day with plenty of sunshine, but still a cold wind

Hope you don't get blown away when you come out of the hairdressers Fiona. You will feel good once you have had it done. How do you get home??

Well I should be doing something..... I have a pile of ironing to do but don't feel like it. I have picked a load more tomatoes from the tunnel and courgettes and beans and beetroot to cook for oh. I like mine with vinegar on and oh dos'nt. Have'nt had a beetroot sandwich for ages. I remember having them when I went to tea with a boyfriend.

Can't get to the last page again!!

Hi Mandy
I live in my jeans, I have the normal blue denim's, a pair of gray ones and a pair of browns ones which I wear with my brown boots, also a pair of skinny jeans, which I look good in at the moment.
I'm going to get ready for the hairdresses.
