I got the bungalow keys and insured the property Friday last which was 10/06/2011

Some plumbing work to be done tomorrow.
On Thursday I have a builder knocking a wall out to make two fair sized rooms open plan,

Then there will be plastering and re-decorating

What the hell is IE8.???? I know I am thick sometimes, but I have no idea how to get in useing IE8.

While Ros has beenwatching her "SOAPS" I sat in the garden reading my Ebook. The battery ran out, so It's on charge throught the computor. It will be ready in a hour or so, ready for when I go to bed.

My body is starting to sting, I have looked, but we don't have any aftersun, so I will have to live with it. !!!! serves me right for staying outside all day.!!! But the cold cotton sheets will keep me cool, when I finally get under the cloths.

Ann I bet you did a bit when you saw the OH like that.

:-D :-D :-D You would think he would know how to trim his beard at his age !!!!

Fiona, thats terrible, not letting the boy know his Nan had died. It was only a phone call, Some people have no feelings, do they ????

Mel, I did a shin of beef tonight, in the oven for 4 hours The meat just fell apart. We had french beans,carrots, spring greens and broard beans (Ros's favourites) at this time of year.. The last of the Jersey's. Are there any English down your way yet ???? My first crop in the bags will be ready anytime now. Looking forward to those.

So, Jane, is having withdrawal symptons, not getting on here. She will make up for it later. YOU BET>!!!!

Going for a cool shower now and dressing gown on.

See you tomorrow.

A lot to catch up on .I have read everything( I think)
Great news David .Your hands will be tingling waiting for those keys.

Next door have had another bonfire just now.Heaven knows what they burn.It stinks and all bits were coming over into our garden,right up as far as the house.Glad I got the washing in earlier.
Good to see you back again Shirl.(I might have already said that....I can't remember) :-S

So Friday David gets his Keys ,and my son will get his results for his Finals at Uni.Hopefully he will come out with a good degree.He has worked very hard ,so has done his best.Fingers crossed.

This is a note from GR on another thread today:

We apologise for the problems some members seem to be experiencing at the moment. Using IE8 is our temporary suggestion whilst we fix the issues to do with the other browsers.

I hope this helps.

Oh, you are all coming back!! :-) I wonder if it will be my turn tomorrow!! Hope not.

Liz, how brilliant to get a new, up to date phone!! No wonder your OH is miffed after being good and using his regularly. lol

My shoulder looks a bit pink.......I think the sun must have caught it in the garden......legs are still as white though.

OH has gone to do some clerking tonight......his first solo run. One of the school governors has the same name as a former member of his staff from years back. He was wondering if it is the same person. Just before he went, he decided to tidy up his beard.......I knew it would be fatal!!!!! lol He walked in with a swathe cut into one side, but not the other. Emergency action then to shorten the lot and match both sides. lol Why does he always do things like this at the last minute!!! lol

Hi All
All most everyone on here is having trouble at sometime with GR, this seems to have been going on for days now.
Had a lovely day weather wise here got all my washing dry and most of my ironing done too, also sorted out Bedroom for MIL when she comes on Thursday for daughters graduation.

Daughter no 2 and boyfriend didn't come for dinner tonight I got a text to say boyfriend's gran had passed away last friday, I can't understand why it has taken relatives down in England 4 days to let him know, his gran lived somewhere in Dorset. and had been very ill for a while, Boyfriend had hoped to take daughter down to meet his gran, but sadlly it's to late now.

Hello Shirl so good to have you back!! <3

Just cooking dinner, chicken casserole with carrots, runner beans and mash for me and rice for oh.

Been in the garden all day as it has been so hot and sunny. Have tried to mend the netting on the fruit cage as the blackbirds have been in again and eaten most of the redcurrants but the white ones are still ok, and the raspberries are ripening and the loganberries.

OH has been digging up some nice looking earth from the top veg garden over the side we don't use and seiving it and putting on the corner where the new build is.

Hi to our Sheila and the standard membership is £9.95 thats the lowest sub.

Evening everyone ,
what a day !! had to google Genes Reunited .uk to get back on here , every time i went on to my bookmarks it came up with the error page , didn't even get the home page!!!
Mel, so glad every thing went well yesterday and that mum is now resting with her robin head stone .

Oh Shirl, nice to have you back with us again , mind you don't get saddle sore LOL

David , glad to hear that your getting your keys at last !! have you all the packing done now ??

Lovely sunny evening here .

Hi Frank, you are not the only one having trouble! Jane has just said to say Hi to everyone for her as she can't get on the site either!!! :-S :-S She said she hopes to get back on here soon or she will have withdrawal symptoms!! lol

Afternoon All,

What a glorious sunny day!! More washing dried and put away.

What good news David!! Having the keys in your hand will be great!! :-D :-D Best wishes with the actual move.....have you settled on a date? I bet you are packing in ernest now......Te*cos running out of boxes yet? My parents lived in a cottage, then prefab, then bungalow, then flat, then semi detached house, then terraced house, then detached house. I lived in them all growing up, but since I married I have lived in 3 bungalows, one a dormer bungalow, but the upstairs was just spare rooms. I prefer them on the whole, but one thing I do miss is a view from upstairs!!! lol That accident must have been awful for your mum Fiona. Stairs are the cause of so many nasty accidents.

Maybe you should see the doc about that chest infection. :-)

Glad things went well yesterday Mel. I think your mum would have liked the flowers and Robin. Yes, I'm losing my marbles.........it was Homepride......the man with the bowler hat!

I like your new pic Kim.....a happy little girl!!

What the hell is going on. Can't understand why the page was white for hours. Then I managed to get on.

How the devil are you all, well I hope.

Mel. I hope you feel more settled now that Mum is finally at rest. Thinking of you often. <3 <3

Got up this morning to wonderful sunshine. Have cut and trimed the lawns, sorted out the tomato plants in the greenhouse (cut off some storks) to let the sun and light in.

Have been sitting in the sun all afternoon, reading the paper and my book. My upper body is realy red. I hope I haven't burnt myself.

Hi Guys, Just to let you know that I got a new mobile phone for FREE!! today. My SIM card had been discontinued because I hadn't used the phone for months, so I went into Phones R Us, to renew it, and low and behold I was offered a new one!!! with a camera and earplugs!! OH is really miffed as he uses his phone quite often and so his still works!! I had to buy £10 worth of calls and that was it! I feel quite triumphant! Apparently you have to use the phone at least once every three months else the card will be automatically disconnected, so I shall do just that and should be OK. Am off to the garden to 'catch some rays'

Oh hee should be cat not chat I do it everytime if Michelle my daughter does not move this computor tonight I shall throw it. I am squinting it so dark. There is a shawdow also comes through the window making a funny
light on the wall its horrid. I would move it but all the wires at the make worry me. dozens of em

H I EVERYONE how are you all.Sorry I have not been on here I went to Stratford upon avon to see my friend Annie who went white water rafting in Snowdonia and nearly drowned when the raft tipped up and she went sailing over a waterfall and landed on some rocks she broke her ankle and was very lucky. I did not know until I arrived ,being Annie and her adventures nothing surprises me she is much younger than me and she is always off on some adventure.

Her garden was beautiful Annie just sticks millions of flowers and bulbs and seeds in and goes away for months and her garden is overgrown but with an abundance of flowers. It looked lovely how does she do it I spend hours on mine and it looks a mess. I love her Dovecot.

Pat I was so sad to read about you loosing your granson to swine flu loosing my son in law I know how you must have felt it is agony loosing someone so close to you. I thought I would go mad and then my son in law left my other daughter and I felt I was being punished for something.

The doggies got to go to the vets this afternoon but does seem improved thank you he is eating normally and seems more happy. He was in disgrace today because he chased a chat who got stuck on the roses and sat nipping its tail and the poor thing was meowing so mornfully like it was saying please leave me along. I took it in doors and gave it some milk and calmed it down then it suddenly lurched out of my arms and ran scratching me right down my arm deeply making it bleed.

When in Stratford Annie had a ticket to see a afternoon performance at the smaller theatre of Romeo and Juliette but it was a modern version and mainly schoolchildren I went to see it and it was nice passed a pleasent afternoon. I backed my car onto a wall accidently denting it trying to let some Yank out with his huge car he got out of his car and said dames always in the way move your junk and let me through I said where were you when they issued manners ,he said lady get lost will you I got so mad
I accidently put my foot on the reverse pedal. he went off laughing horrid man. I made a rude gesture wont repeat it. Think of Mr Churchill.!!!!

Mel hope those bites are ok now. I saw the name Sheila mentioned was that me or someone else I have only had time to read a few threads I will get down to the nitty gritty later. I will have to try and pay less because our business is not doing too well what is the least amount you can pay.

Kim do you remember the Thorn Birds set in Australia with the lovely Richard Chamberlain and Rachel Ward . I bought a box set from my charity shop I worked for I watched some last night it was so sad. Being Australia I thought of you. I paid a bit for it but it was for charity. Jean Simmons was in it too.

Im pleased for Davis with his bungalow. I hope Frank and everyone is well.

Whats happened to Shirl and Liz.

Did Maureen go and see the trooping of the colour I thought the fly past of the planes fantastic the red arrows flying down the mal must have been a fantastic site.I love them seen them at one or two air shows. I am a bit nervous of planes after witnessing that crash many years ago when John Derry went through the sound barrier at Farnborough. I still get a funny feeling when a plane flies over our house sometimes being in the flight path for Birmingham airport. Catch you later I am taking the dog and coming back to catch up on the threads.
I have been trying to trace my retarded couson Alan Wheatley who died having a heart operation at fourteen found his death but not his birth.
