Hi

Got let down with the other builder ..Dont know when the bathroom will be started...Cleared everything out then had to put it all back in..

The kitchen walls and new ceiling looks nice...He has done a good job...
Took him ages to get most of the plaster of the floor lining that we are using for the moment..When he went at 5 hubby and I sat in garden with a glass of wine...did catch a bit of sun before the skies opened.

Had a late microwave dinner as couldnt sit still after seeing all the dust that had crept into the living room as well... So put the cleaner rouns and wiped as much as I could...If I have to be in a mess it has to be a tidy mess.

Frank...I did behave myself being all alone with you know who


;-) ;-)

Jane you did have some nice pressies for your birthday.. did you enjoy your day...

Hello Liz....

Hello Tracy... I think someone mentioned you are . Shirl on here

Catch you all tomorow Goodnight

I just lost a long post(SO FRUSTRATING) :-( :-( :-(
I can't say it all again.So I will say night night now.I need to be up and ready in the morning to get off to Milton Keynes with James.He has an appointment with his lap top at the Appl* Store.I think at 10.30 and it will take about an hour to get there and find the right place to park.

Shirl I hope your son will soon be back on track again.Fingers crossed the journey to Toronto will be a smooth one.

Toodle pip for tonight xx

That's nice that James thought to ask Jane, but he would probably have been shocked if you'd said yes.

I have just done a bit of dusting and hoovered the hard floors and one of the bedroom carpets and I'm done in!! I'm thankful OH gets the hoover out and gets the big bits up from time to time. Pheww!! A cool drink now I think.

Ann it would have been lovely for you to pop in while OH is at his meeting.I will be little Billy No Mates in a while.Chris will be off to that meeting and James off to see his friends.He did offer to stay in with me (Bless),but I just told him to "B" off and enjoy himself.He doesn't need to stay at home with his old Mum .
Frank it is 57 .Thank you for thinking I was a year younger .I can cope with that :-D :-D

Jane, what a shame you couldn't have your bite to eat and a little tipple with Fitz at lunch time , but then you don't want the trots do you !!!
You've had some nice things for your birthday you lucky girl.

Hubby and i went to the coast this afternoon , he couldn't get on with his work as it was a roof job and its been raining here off and on during the day , the tide was in and the sea looked really grey ,but there was only a small shower while we were there , we were back home by four o'clock .

Oh Liz, a new name !! will have to remember its you :-)

I know Ann and Frank, you'll think I''m someone else! Matter of fact I shall think I'm someone else!!!! Thanks for the download Frank, sadly I couldn't get it to run! It says there's a fault preventing it from showing!!!!! must be me, else you couldn't have forwarded it! Thanks anyway, it's the thought that counts!!! Raining AGAIN here, and quite chilly, think we shall have a fire tonight. Person at the end of our house chain (only 3 of us) who is in rented, has now announced that he has to get a mortgage!! His valuer has been today,, it shouldn't be a problem, but where have we ALL heard that before!! our buyer is now happy with coming here, BUT we now have Mr mortgage to get organised! Is it ever worth it?!!

Hi all,

Pity you couldn't have your feast Jane, around here it started raining about 12.30 and has been on and off all afternoon.

Hi Shirl, Glad to see you about. I am glad to say the scald on the back of my hand has cleared up , my fingure has healed up, and the scab on my shin is ready for PICKING eh. :-D :-D :-D :-D

Liz, It will take some getting used to, seeing the name change

Didn't get round to putting plants in as we have had heavy showers all afternoon.

Pat, You mean to say you were in doors with the plasterer ON YOUR OWN ;-) ;-) ;-)

Lovely Chanel* Jane, my favourite too! I put some on for Luton Hoo but it probably evaporated in the heat!! lol What a pity Fitz is indisposed!!! Nice of him to have popped round with the flowers.......just hope he didn't have to pop home even quicker!! I thought you would be 'tied up' celebrating this evening, (not literally unless you got something wrapped up in brown paper!! ;-)) Well, I could have been there bringing my Ipanema cocktail mix to toast you......OH is at a meeting in Northampton!! lol

Good to hear from you Shirl............sorry to hear your son has had a setback, hope he's improving again. Frank as KING TUT....lol Maybe he should just get the bandages on before he does anything!! :-D :-D

I splash my face and eyes with water before I go to bed Shirl, to wash as much pollen off as I can. They say wearing glasses helps, especially wrap around ones so get your 'cool dude' shades on when you are outside!! I find hayfever makes me very tired too.

OH got his bike out this morning to see if he could see any cause for the puncture in his front wheel........I was surprised as it was quite a small thorn on a twig, no bigger really than the one's roses have. He's got the wheel off now and I think he will drop it in at the cycle shop for them to repair tomorrow when his car goes in for service.

On the subject of cars, mine went in this morning for them to fix the passenger mirror problem (won't adjust in and out only up and down) The mirror was replaced last year after a lorry knocked it off while parked and when I noticed the problem I took it back to the repairer but they looked at it, replaced something and then said it was nothing to do with the accident, it was from the adjuster switch on the opposite side. The chap at the Pe*geot garage rang me after half an hour to say it WAS the mirror, nothing to do with the switch after all!! There was no charge thank goodness so off I went back to the repairer to explain. No quibble about it, they have just ordered another new mirror. To think I nearly didn't bother as it was ok for me in the position it was and was going to cost over £100. Now hopefully it will get fixed.

Liz, I shall be thinking you are someone new!! lol

Mandy, Katie is a little poppet too isn't she, but she won't fit her dolly's pushchair much longer will she! Thanks for the pic.

What happened Mel.......did you stop bidding??

We've only had a few spots of rain today, but it is quite breezy now.

LOL Mel.
He popped up (oops nearly said pooped then) :-S with some lovely flowers from him and Georgette.But didn't hang about.I have to say he did look a bit grim.
Another beautiful bouquet has just arrived(huge) from Rachel,Darren and baby Ethan.
I don't think I have had as many cards as this since I was young.Thanks everyone again.
One of the books I got is called A 1960s Childhood.I'm looking forward to reading that .
