Does anyone remember playing Jacks and five stones lol

Hi All

Just a quick hello
I seem to be getting on here ok..But I did copy and paste a message I did the other day incase I lost the lot

I havent been home a lot today...Spent over an hour in Doctors this morning as they were running late..Then went to my part time job in a school...Then after lunch off to the Dentist for a check up.everythings fine..But had to wait 40 mins before being seen there..Then called into the shops on way home...OH was home before me. he finishes at 4..

It was such a nice afternoon we sat in the garden with a glass of wine..dinner was a little later than normal lol

They say dabbing yoghurt on is good for cooling sunburn Frank.......what flavour do you fancy?

IE8 is a version of the browser Internet Explorer (IE) Frank. I don't know much about these things either, but I know I am still on IE7. I think IE 9 is the latest, but some people are also having trouble that have those. It seems that GR are having to do a lot of 'fixes' so that their site is compatible with all our different kinds of browsers. I wouldn't do anything........hopefully it will all come right soon.

Yes, OH is quick to hand over the scissors when he has botched things up! He's had loads of practice......he was 33 when I met him and already had a beard then. He nearly had to go out with a 'goatee' tonight. lol :-D

Has your OH finished the wall yet Mel? My loganberries are still geen and don't look too good this year, quite small. I think they needed more water. A couple of tomatoes are turning orange in the greenhouse though so they will soon be ready. The blackbirds are terrors for fruit aren't they.

It's an ideal time of the year to move in David, good for getting those sort of jobs all done with plenty of warm weather to dry out the plaster.

Still faffing around trying to get here .Just lost a long post.Still haven't had dinner either !!!!!.So I will give up now for tonight and have another go in the morning.
Toodle pip

ACDO was another one

Remember the old possers and poss tubs and wash boards and mangles?

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.

Oh my goodness !!!!! I am here.Thanks Mandy.What a to do lol
I have got 2 free days added to my registration because of the inconvenience !
I will press the submit button quickly now and see if it sends :-( :-(

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.

Hope you are well enought to travel on Thursday Kim. please take care of yourself.

Shirl, I just SKYPED you, as I saw you on line. NO REPLY. Where the Blood## He## did you go.???? Flitting off somewhere I supose. Will get in touch soon.

David, So pleased you are getting the keys on Friday. Hope you will be very happy there, for years to come.
