Make susre you don't throw away the nighty you could spit peas through Jane as that would never do :-D :-D :-D

Pat I can't say that about the grandchildren as I have never seen any of them. I did find myself saying things to my son when he was young, that mum sauid to me and thought then how things get arried trough the families! Grandad Beech always called me Duck which I hated as a child and his wife, nan would call me Ducks :-(

Mandy I hope The FIL has not had anymore turns and will soon be home.Hopefully he will get that scan done today.

Morning All
So it's Saturday is it? Thanks Mel lol
Sun Shining just at the moment and it looks a bit breezy, I haven't poked my nose out the door yet.I am showered and hair washed but am still in my nightie (my favourite holey one) .
I need to sort out the landing cupboards today and have a bit of a clear out.There are old sheets,duvet covers ,old towels that you could spit peas through.They need to be chucked out ,and then there will be some extra room for some of James's things.

My Mum used to call Janice and me by the Cat's names before getting the right one lol.We were called Peter,Rudie Jerry. :-S :-S

My Mum, was the worst ever for nanes. She would start with JIM, JACK,BILL, TEDDY then FRANK.It was the same with the girls.

You know me MEL, Man of few words :-D :-D :-D

Weather very mixed here, showers and sunshine. It's not going to be a nice day anywhere. !!!!

Closing down now, to pack pooter to take to Rutland.
See you later.

Morning All

Do any of you call your children and grandchildren by the wrong names.. My daughter years ago said that I am beginning to be like her grandmother ( my mum )

But she gets muddled herself now... lol

Is that all you have to say Frank.

It has just poured with rain here again!!!!! :-\

This has got to be a sign of OLD AGE having to put the day on the posdting :-D :-D :-D :-D

SATURDAY.

Morning All,

Sun is out here for now anyway. We had a squirel round the bantam houses when I looked out first thing.

It rained cats and dogs last night before I went to bed and I have just been out to feed the birds and our little round drain cover is all clogged up with grit and stuff that has washed down our road. I shall have to go and clear it out.

Mandy any news on DIL's Father this morning. I hope he had a better night than he did day yesterday, poor man. He is in the best place though if he had another nasty turn with all the nurses on hand.

The title at the top of the page is for the benefit of Jane and myself because I have'nt known what day it is this week either. Thats the trouble when you break routine and go shopping on different days. Going yesterday I think today is Tuesday!! and I have'nt been shopping on a Monday for weeks :-S

Mandy,I hope he gets his CT scan done soon.
Ann,doesn't it feel good when you have had your hair cut.Mine feels so much lighter ,and not so sweaty round the neckline at night lol.

I'm just going to tidy up and chuck Chester out and will then be off to bed.
Looks like a wet morning tomorrow.I'm so glad it is Chris's turn to do walkies !

I hope Fiona has had a great day today .She is another proud Mum.

Night Night everyone and thanks for all your congrats for James.

Son and MIL now home , FIL seemed settled in a bed so they went to get a bite to eat , while they were gone FIL had another funny turn , the doctors still don't really know whats wrong with him , he's now got to have a TC scan , there is only one scanner working over the week end ,so they now don't know when this will be done !!!

Jake was still awake ,waiting for his good night kiss from daddy.

Rain has just stopped .

Oh, Mandy you can't believe it can you, 'has he got an appointment'!! Shame about the summer fayre, I bet little Jake was disappointed.

My hair is all trimmed and feels a lot better now. The basin wasn't as low as it sometimes is, so the head massage was very enjoyable today, could have nodded off quite easily. My hairdresser told me she had got her car back from being repaired yesterday, a Porsche......same as my previous hairdresser had!!! When did hairdressers become so well paid they could run cars like that? No wonder my hair costs more than the rest of me to maintain!!! lol

We got a new stand today for the water butt that's moving behind the greenhouse. Now we just need to get a slimline one for behind the shed to replace it. Better get one soon too, we got a couple more showers today!!

Thanks for all the emails everyone.......

It is hours Jane , he went to the hospital just after ten this morning .

I had to smile though ,little Chelsea said" is there a Television in the ambulance for Grandad Noel to watch , and a toilet if he needs to go " lol
i think she thought he was still in there !!!

Ann, DIL's been very worried , that's why we stayed with her ,but we came away because it was the little ones bed time and they won't settle if they know were down stairs !!

It was a shame about the fare , they all work so hard getting it all ready ,and it helps to boast school funds !!

Jane, have you got the Champagne on ice for when James gets home :-D

Evening All,

:-D :-D Congratulations James and well done!! :-D :-D. He has a ready smile anyway Jane, but I bet he's been grinning from ear to ear since he found out.

It sounds like your friend and neighbour had a huge turn out Kim. He was obviously very well thought of.

Maureen, that is excellent service from Ar*os, pity they don't all do that. You'll have to look on the bright side till the shed gets moved!! lol It is a good excuse for not cleaning in there!! I bet you have a lovely free pine scent too!! lol

Mel, you are like me.......spotted the potential in that old trough........our OH's don't have 'vision' like we do. Had I better duck now!! I grow those mixed salad bowl lettuce too, they seem to last much longer.

Well, I ate my first banana with the skin on.......need I say more!! Still not my favourite fruit and they have to be just ripe with no brown spots for me to eat them.

Mandy I hope your DIL's father is ok. She must be very worried.

Mandy ,poor man must have been waiting HOURS now for a bed!.I hope they get things sorted for him soon.
What a shame the school fete was a washout.A lot of hard work will have gone into that.Typical British Weather!!

Well done to James for all his hard work ,there will be a few sore heads in the morning with all the celebrations !!!
Jane , you have every right to be proud of him ,congratulations :-)

Well, son and DIL's mother are still at the hospital , doctors think DIL's father has an infection ,he had a Hernia op about 4/5 weeks ago and they not sure if they will have to operate again ,one doctor has said they will ,another doctor said he might come home tomorrow !!! at the moment he's in the waiting room waiting for a bed !!!
When son took his FIL straight to the doctors ,MIL went in and said my husband has taken ill in the car could a doctor see him , the receptionist asked has he got an appointment !!!
A doctor came out in the end and checked him over and rang for an ambulance straight away .

We went to Jake's summer Fare , we were there about ten minutes when it started to rain and it got harder and harder !!! we had to come home it was a total wash out !!
We went back home with DIL and had tea with them ,when we came home some of the roads were awash it was bubbling out the drains !!!
its eased up a bit now ,won't need to water tonight lol

I have a Banana every morning (for Breakfast). ;-)

Good news Jane...Congratulations to James.

Style has never been out of fashion

Was it Sinatra said that?

Congratulations to JAMES. As you say Jane they must have got their brains from Chris. :-D :-D :-D :-D
