Morning All..
Had have younger son and family here for a few days ...so have been busy amusing 3 grandchildren..You dont realise how tiring it is...Didnt get a chance to sit down much..We all went to the park yesterday...so they let off more steam ..

Still hagling over bathroom etc...Alan rang the head man jesterday and was trying to keep his cool...I think he done very well...The man was talking to Alan as if he was stupid.....OT is in engineering so I think the other man got as good as he gave with his stupid questions.. and answers He said with an insurence claim everything is changed like to like...
Alan said this bath isnt part of the insurense claim..We bought the bath and are paying an arm and a leg for the work to be done properly by you.. Still waiting for our usualy man to come back he is off sick...and slightly lower in rank than this one..
Electricia n came friday to do the electrics and sockets.. Had to fit the light twice as his wiring didnt work..."2mins after he drove away I noticed he hadnt tucked all the cables in properly so I had to call him back...P off by that time.. as he had also picked up my repeat perscription some how.
with his rubbish...Found it in the rubbish outside front door lucky,,I then had to drop it in to the doctors just down the road...

Another man dropped the folding door in but have to wait for a fiier to do that..Also some paint we had asked to be mixed up as we have wood paneling running around the botton half of the walls..This isint in the ins quote dont ask me why..

Left a message for the head painter to call round when he could which he did late on fri night...I wanted his opinion on the wall that had been painted 3 times...It needs another coat so another can of paint is needed.

I will read though you posts later and catch up with you then..

I hadn't had F&C all this year Jane, now twice in the last fortnight!!! Better not get in the habit. The shop floor didn't look as clean as the Polish chap used to keep it. :-S :-S He had all the kitchen on show behind the fryers so you could see the clean white tiles and floors. One wall at the front of the shop was covered with awards he'd won. He was there 33 years and I remember when he first came. I never saw them, but Gary Lineker and Bill Maynard went there according to the paper.

OH home now and didn't mention any smell!!!! lol I got away with it!!!

Good job you noticed the cooker ring Jane. I left the warming drawer on the other week. The silly thing has the red light showing it is on inside the drawer where you can't see it. I don't really know how long it was on. Sounds like MORE EXPENSE to me!!

Off to beddy byes now......night night xx

ooooh! fish and chips,bananas!! I love both ,I have a banana every day for my brekkie,Haven't had fish and chips for yonks.

Have big trouble with my cooker tonight .I can't turn one of the rings off.I have had to switch off at the mains.I can't be doing with another 'fire' like I had before.(my shopping bag).I bet I will have bad dreams tonight about it :-S :-S :-S Chris has just wandered off saying "will sort it in the morning" !!!!!!!.Not sure he will do anything .It will be left to muggins here lol.I get so freaked out with any electrical problems.I'll no doubt check I have switched off the mains to the cooker a dozen times before I go to bed :-S :-S

Evening all,

Ros got up about 4.30pm had a shower and put clean nightie on, been laying on sofa since> Had a small piece of my home made cottage pie tonight with peas. Didn't eat it all but had a fiar bit.

Kim "SO SORRY" I just opened the Email and thought it was your house. Must say, in S.A. they need houses like that in some areas.

Thanks for the photo's of baby Harry, and the baby pidgeons, All look well feed and content :-D :-D :-D :-D

I did a bit of home made F & C last week, but madam hasn't fancied any since.

Have got a nice piece of leg of pork out for tomorrow, whether it gets cooked or not will be another story.

Thanks "JUGS" for your offer, I may well take you up on that. !!!!

Good night to you all, and thanks again for your kind thoughts.

No , i just ate a big one !!!

Oh Ann, now my tummy's really rumbling !!! LOL

Remember the smell of fish and chips lingers !!!!! LOL

Hope you enjoy your meal out Mandy.......make it a small banana!

I hope you are both feeling a bit better Frank and that Ros manages to enjoy some of the wedding at least.

Kim, that is quite a house!! They could have done with a few of those in London recently.

Jane, what well fed Pigeons with big tummies!!They are very partial to brussel sprout plants in the winter if you have any!! lol :-S :-S

Liz, how awful for your neighbour to do that!! Not content that you are moving is he. Still he's making a right fool of himself with people getting his facts all wrong, so I think they will take what he says with a pinch of salt!!

I'm off to the chippie now for a treat OH won't know about!! Our favourite one retired last week so I will be testing the new one out........that's my excuse!

Phew!!! its hot out there now , just hoovered the car out ,then hubby decided we should have it washed !! so that's now been done ,£6 for a wash ,while that was being done hubby and i went and sat in the towns park ,it was lovely waching the little ones on the swings and rides ,we also watch the boys on their skate boards , boy can they move !!!!

We just need to get showered later ready for our meal out tonight , my tummy's rumbling already , think i might just have a banana , we won't be eating until eight ,so that's a while off.

See you all tomorrow .

Jane and Mandy did not see your posts, sorry.

Jane I have internal and external symptoms, so my insides are very dry too have trouble swallowing. Not sure if it is tied in with the Reynauds as I had that as a child, but certainly coming from my mum's side :-( Also my muscles have wasted and I've dropped about 8 kg in the last 3 years. I hate that part of it, can't wear the clothes in my wardrobe.

Yes, Glenda and the family were very pleased the car is still here. But someone has to buy it and keep it in running order, no good a beautiful vehicle sitting in a garage going to waste, Rod would not want that. I'd like it for myself if I was still driving.

Mandy it could be a record. Doug's managed big companies all his life and would go crazy it he wasn't still tinkering with computers and software. A real no nonsense man. He also volunteers for drug companies to test new drugs on him and they pay him a packet. Hope he never reacts to anything!!!! He does a fantastic job with our computers and can answer any queries Keith might put to him.

Now I'm off to the couch for tv. Night all 12.12. pm EST

Afternoon everyone.
Thanks to Jane & Maureen for your photo's , Good photo's of the moon,
Maureen , Harry is a darling.

Just finished a pile of Ironing, OH T shirts , they have been lying in the spare room for over 2 weeks, kept moving them around.

Oh is now fixing the boards & tiles in the bathroom after the gas men had to run pipes from the boiler to the shower, he has just noticed one of the gas men has slightly damaged one of my bathroom cupboards probably by sticking a screwdriver inbetween the sides of the cupboard to get the pipe in, Honestly, it's not a big job but spoils the wood, and gives OH another job to tidy up. so annoying. :-( :-(

Ann, Doug gives you that look and shakes his head, lol. "Don't you know anything", like a university professor. He's a very clued up man. Have the whole range of symptoms, not just the mouth. I think it is that aspect which gives me the most discomfort. Teeth need a good clean, but it hurts so much, never used to bother me. I hope he gives me some happy gas when the time comes ;-) ;-) Liz my gums don't bleed, I suppose that is something good. Will check to see if Corsodyl is available over here or something similar.

What a horror your neighbour is???? I have read bits and pieces at times, but didn't realise how bad he was. I pity the poor fellow moving into your place!!! It will be all over soon and what a fool he will look. Can't even get his story right, lol. Hope you will be so very happy at your new place.

Morning Jane, don't work too hard!!!

Frank I wish that was my house - just a nice email I thought I would send through "Home security in South Africa" it was titled. Would be good though, but not within my price range :-) Frank I agree, you and Ros can't go on like this for much longer. You might have to seek out further help if the MRI is clear. Keep your chin up, I am thinking of you both. Be good to think you might get to that wedding, even for a short while.

Off for a bit of tv and then bed.

Good night all. 11.55 pm

Afternoon everyone,

Rainy old morning , but now lovely and sunny .

Mel, you have been out and about this week , must have been a nice change for you , as you're always busy in your garden, how long are your family staying for ?

Jane, on your moon photo's you can just see the cloud passing over the moon , the other night the moon looked quite yellowy , but i didn't have the camera batteries charged up, they are now charge.

Kim, fancy that chap doing computer repairs at the grand old age of 87 !!! is that a world record !! lol

Liz, what a nasty man your neighbor sounds ,talking about you like that in the shop in front of people !!! and making things up about the new buyer , you;ll be glad to see the back of him.

Oh There he is :-D :-D :-D
Frank you are entitiled to a second opinion.It is all very strange with poor Ros.I do hope she is well enough for the Wedding.You have your posh suit to wear don't you.
I think you had better 'TROT' off and stay near your white friend.I always think it is weird how emotions,worries etc can upset the bowels.The body is a very strange and complicated thing isn't it. :-S :-S
You know if you need a chat 'anytime' I have a good set of lugs.(LUGS.....not Jugs) ;-) ;-)

Liz you will have blow a big Raspberry at those horrible neighbours as you move out !!!.Horrible people :-P :-P :-P

Ann it was just luck I found the setting for night shots on the camera.Usually like Mel I wold have just got a little dot in the sky.

Kim,is the Sjorgens to do with the Raynauds Disease?Do you get dry eyes too?I hope Glenda has a wonderful holiday in the States.I'm sure it will do her good.As for the car ,I bet she is quite pleased she still has it(for now).

I just spotted two young Pigeons in the branches by the patio doors.I did think there was a nest in there.Now I know for sure there is.Got a couple of pics.They look fairly big but are obviously youngsters.One wasn't fazed at all as I got closer to it.
It is very muggy still here.I went to Tes** and came back feeling I need another shower.That can wait till tonight now.There is a terrible stink in the air down at Tes**.It is coming from the fields across the way.

No Frank yet today? I'm wondering how Ros is and if they got the stronger patches.
I bought 2 books and have squirreled them away ready for my hols.I know if I leave them about I will have read them before we go.
Just had a second enquiry about the car from Gumtree.We don't know how to remove the ad :-S :-S .

Lis, Just bite your tounge, on the day you move call in and say "GLAD TO SEE THE BACK OF YOU" you have been nothing but a pain in the asr#

Mel, When your visitors go home, you won't know what to do with yourself. Has Mr Mel, been going out with you, or is he still building???

Since my stroke, my teeth have been falling out like "NINE STONES" I only have six left. and glad to say they are very firm, even though the gume are receeding. The match with my plates is unbelievable, they look just as though they are all mine :-D :-D :-D

Thanks for all the photo's Kim your house seems very large, also the garden

I see the moon, the the sees me.!!!! All photo's look different to the eyes view, when you see something, you say to yourself "I must take a photo of that" and more often than not, you are dissapointed.

Ros has gone back to bed, feeling very tired and sick. She got the stronger patches yesterday, I don't know if they are affecting her. She goes back for the results of the MRI on Thursday. I know she is worrying about what it might show up. :-S :-S :-S. If there is nothing deffinate showing, I am going to DEMAND another opinion.

Tomorrow fortnight we have a wedding to go to. Our step- grand daughters.
I hope Ros is going to feel well enough to want to go. As she is at the moment, there is little chance of that.

All this worry has given me the trotts. up six times in the night, and four times this morning. I think I am ready for bed as well. !!!!

Have a good afternoon all, very overcast here and no sun.

Kim that old chap Doug sounds fantastic, keeping up with IT stuff like that......puts me to shame. I just looked up Sjogren's as I didn't know what it was....must be horrid having a dry mouth, as if you don't have enough to put up with as it is!

Mel, that was interesting about the church. We often look at the churches by the sea when we are away. It makes you realise how many poor souls have lost their lives at sea, particularly in the past. I have never been to Bude before, it sounds like a nice beach. You have done a lot of tramping about these past few days........I would need a gentle day now, to recover a bit.

Mandy, its nice when you find a gentle dentist. Ours all move on within 2 years so we get a lot of change. I absolutely HATE those deep cleans!!! Mine are too sensitive now and they don't seem to use the anaesthetic gel on the NHS so I think that is why they don't do it.
