This morning had to pop to my brothers to sort a lot of paper work out,,that took time... but just managed to catch some sun with a vodka and orange lol.

Hi All
Thats intresting Jane about being the season for croup is that because of the dampness in the air getting on the chest :-

yes Mandy shopping did cheer me up, I have been feeling down and fed up because all my size 8's are now baggy especially T.shirts and blouses , and my jeans and smart trousers are swimming round my waist,

I managed to get a blouse and 2 long sleeved t.shirts and a pair of smart gray trousers in a size 6, from PETITE Ne*t , and 2 pairs of jeans 1 blue and 1 brown, plus a long sleaved nightie for my overnight stay in hospital, I was cold the last time i was there in bed through the day and had to ask for another blanket.

Also managed to get a new winters coat in the Stone colour from Debe*hams , it was in the sale.

Can I find out who lived at a certain address on the census but without a name?

It's the season for Croup apparently (so Chris says),It is horrible to hear them coughing like that.I hope both Katie and Sofia soon get over it.I didn't realise it was a seasonal thing.

Mandy ,next door's bonfire wouldn't affect them as it is too far away from their house ,but just at the end of our garden.They seem to burn all their household stuff.And it does stink sometimes :-S :-S.

I haven't had a Chinese for ages .Mmmm! I quite fancy one.

Hannah was wanting to know when both Chris and I could go and visit as Chris still hasn't seen where she is living.Between her full calender and Chris working December 3rd is the first free Saturday !!!
I will go before then on my own.

Jane, i suppose your next door neighbour thought a little bit more smoke wouldn't be noticed :-S ....as if you hadn't had enough these last few days !!

Fiona, did shopping cheer you up then ? and did you get any thing nice ? :-)

Sorry to hear poor little Sofia has the croup too as well as Laryngitis , poor little Katie had another bad night , she has such a deep cough, well you could almost call it a bark it is so deep, you fell so helpless with the little ones as they carn't tell you how they really feel.

No cooking tonight , we're having a chinese meal later .

Afternoon Everybody, been out this morning shopping , OH says to go and cheer myself up and buy some new tops that fit,

Mandy sorry to read little katie is unwell with croup.
Strange you should mention it, Daughter no1 & SIL had to take Sofia to the accident & emergency this morning as Sofia was running a temp of 40, and was finding it hard to breath and was coughing so much she was worn out, the doctor was concerned over her breathing and said she had croup and larengitis(sp) so he has given her some medicine, they were there for 4 hours sitting about seeing this doctor & that doctor,
poor little mite has hardly any voice. hope they all can get some sleep tonight.

Well,I got that wrong.I was in As** and Hannah rang to say she is travelling home with her friend in her friends car (not by train). :-S.So I really needn't have gone out at all.Ended up spending £40 lol She is staying overnight Mandy and will go back tomorrow afternoon after she has had MUM"S ROAST :-D
It is absolutely glorious .No smoke our way at the moment so I am going to get that washing out now.Hope I don't tempt fate.
Apparently the fire is the size of a Football pitch!!

Next door had a bonfire this morning :-0 :-0 :-0.I was not impressed.
I had to buy some eye drops when I was out as my eyes have been so itchy.It must be to do with the smoke yesterday.I feel for the people who have Respiritory problems.
Well I will get this washing out and put shopping away as madam should be here very soon.
BBL

Just going to get mine now Mandy.

Salmon and cue sandwiches. Then off up the border while the sun shines. To good a day to be inside.

Afternoon everyone,

Lovely day here , the sun is shining , the washing on the line ,and hubby's now putting the color on the walls .

More bulbs Frank !!! your garden will look a picture in the spring .

Is Hannah home for the weekend Jane ?or just for the day ?

Hubby's now asked if lunch is ready , i think he thought it was just after one instead of twelve LOL

BBL

Morning Everyone
What a lovely day.Fingers crossed our side of the road stays clear today so we can spend some time in the garden.
Chris is at the surgery for 'Flu Clinic'.He should be back soon.I think Hannah is due about 2 so I will nip out and get a few things just before then so I can carry on to the station rather than come home and go again.

Oh ,Chris has arrived bearing 2 flu jabs :-S :-S

It seems funny you talking about Summer Kim as we head towards winter.
Good luck for tomorrow.It'll soon be over and done with.

Now do I risk hanging washing out ??

Can't get onto Genes there is a problem.

Have planted more daffs and 40 more tulips, Had a shower, going down the pub 12.30. L'Pool v Man Utd. Should be a good game.

Mel, Will do as instructed when I can get on there. lol lol

Kim, so nice to see you around, good luck with the tests. <3 <3 <3

Kim you sound a little brighter this morning (evening) have you had a better day? I do hope so, even if you have those awful test to go through.

Morning Mel and everyone,

Has been sunny and warm here today, but cool again tomorrow.

Jane, we had thick smoke all afternoon - I think the fire brigade were doing a cool burn somewhere near here before the summer months arrive. Hope that fire burns itself out soon.

Sheila sorry to read about your fall, you will be really sore for a few days. Your hubby is so funny, not that Beryl would have appreciated his wit and what a kind friend you are to give her that jumper. I suppose she did need to know what Donnie has been up to. I hope life settles down a bit for her now. I love your new photo taken with your friend, what a couple of stunners!!!!!

Fiona it's good that you have a date for your operation. You will be so relieved when it is all over. Recovery is pretty quick if you are having keyhole surgery. Hope it all settles down for you and life gets back to normal.

I've got to do all that yucky preparation for my tests, so I'll have a cuppa and a biscuit before all that liquid, vile stuff. Have a good day everyone.

8.51 pm EST

Frank please just go to your tree and change the name of Clara's mother to Sarah Ann Griffiths.Just click on her pink box and cross out Broad and enter Griffiths. Thanks

I have'nt got those buttons with the page numbers on today!! I am back to the boxes.

Oh what a beautiful MORNING,

As you say Mel, wall to wall sunshine. Haven't ventured out yet, but feel a lot more relaxed this morning after a "DAY OFF"
Ros has popped off to meet her friend, for a couple of hours. I will try to put in a few more Tulips in the front garden this morning. I think it will have to be a little when I feel like it.and then pack up. :-| :-| :-| It will never get done at that rate.

Glad the smoke has cleared for you Jane, has it died down sgain now ???

Mel, You aren't OLD just feeling that way lol lol Sweet williams were always grown in Dad's garden, as were PINKS and "BUNNY RABITS" Ros's Dad was a great DALIAH grower. use to put broom handle in a row. then the little plants. It did look strange, people thought he was growing "BROOM STICKS" The blooms were the size of dinner plates.

Hope everyone is going to enjoy the weekernd weather, see you soon.

Mel I have replied to Ann

Good morning, good morning, good morning, what a beautifull day it is today, wall to wall sunshine with a cloudless blue sky.

Did a lot of weeding up the border yesterday afternoon and put some small plants in and a new delphinium. Don't know what colour it will turn out to be as I bought it in Morr*sons for a £1. Can't think of the name of the small plants yet this morning!!! They are biannuals and flower in the early summer. Smell nice! Gosh what are they called???????????????? Now I know I am getting old..... Ahh got it Sweet Williams!!

I wonder what delights will come up in the spring in Liz's new garden??

Hope all are feeling a little less achey today or calmer.

Fiona not long to wait now then. It will be good to get it over before Christmas and think of all the lovely things you will be able to eat after the op. Good luck for the 2nd.

just spent the last hour doing word search nothing on the Tv to watch, feeling really tired .
going to bed,
night everyone

Seems a lot cooler out side tonight , we have been having our bedroom window open these last few nights ,think we might have to close it tonight .

Perhaps the wind has changed and its blowing the smell the other way Jane.

My arthritis has been playing me up in my left foot , must be the cooler weather !!

Off to bed for me now . Night Night .

I just took a peek out the back door and I could smell "FRESH AIR'.It was lovely.Not sure how long it will last.some poor other people will have the stink now.Ann I actually wet a bit of Kitchen paper and held it on my nose earlier.
Chris thought I was being a bit dramatic :-| :-|,but it did make a difference.

Love your latest necklace Ann!!

Lol Sheila.I hope your face isn't too sore .I fell over my old dog some years ago and fell flat on my face on the patio(it had nothing to do with the fact I had been to a New Year party) ;-) ;-) ;-) I was Black and Blue all down the right hand side of my face for 2 weeks!!!!!!.Not sure that people believed the story about falling over the dog ,but that is what happened.

Chris has gone off to bed.Is up early for first shift in Flu Clinic.He has a case at court that is playing on his mind.I think it is a rape or sexual 'type' of case as the victim is doing things by video and has not been in court.It will continue ,on Monday.I have been champing at the bit to find out what the case is ,but good on him he is sticking to the rules and cannot (will not) discuss it .
I am looking forward to seeing Hannah tomorrow.It seems so long since I last saw her.
