Know what you mean about tidying up after the little ones have gone. Took me ages to find my car key last time Finley was here. It was under the sofa.

Have had a mixed weekend. Started off really good. Had lots of fun with daughter that's getting married, she looked beautiful in the wedding dresses, got to the point where I couldn't say which one I liked best, still more shops to go to though, which will make it even harder to choose. Stayed at their flat last night and we were all going off today to see daughter with baby Harry, on the way the car started playing up so had to just come straight home, didn't want to risk a 60 mile round trip, MORE EXPENSE as Frank would say. Can't even get it sorted until Tuesday.

Anne, did you get my last e.mail I sent earlier?

Jane, it won't be me with the wind ..... it will be hubby !!! LOL

He can go up and down the scale LOLOL

Lol Mandy .You say the wind has dropped.It may pick up again after that hot beef and Horseradish !!!!
I am stuffed now,no room for pudding.That will do for tomorrow.I know it's our anniversary,but we are going out for a meal on Wednesday.So I am doing Roast Beef and all the trimmings.I have a funny feeling I will have to go and buy some spuds.The ones I have look a bit past it.(just like me ) lol :-(

Beef cooked , just had a hot Beef Sandwich with horseradish , hope i don't suffer for it later !!

Frank , hope you'll soon be feeling better, and back with us soon <3

I think the wind has dropped now , but there's some black clouds about ,looks more like rain .

Fiona, it takes me ages to clear up after the little ones have gone , but i do like to see them eat well ,Chelsea's the one that always wants seconds !!!
Jake is like a bean pole ,tall and skinny ,he has days when he hardly eats anything .

Family all gone and I've tidy and hoovered up the mess Sofia drops on the floor luckily I have a big plastic table cloth under her chair otherwise my carpet would be a right mess.

LOL No Jane chicken for us tonight :D

Well I have sat here at the pooter and watched programs on bbc Iplayer!! Now off to feed the chickens and then dig down the freezer.

The photograph is of children Annx,but it was rather prophetic.
He grew up to become a leader of men.

And here am I sweating over the Saute potatoes lol,and the spanish chicken thing in the oven.Hannah had Cheese on toast lol.......I quite fancied that.

Chris is just picking our first baby carrots! for dinner

Mel, you are getting more like me with meals!! lol

Frank if you are watching I hope you feel better soon. It must be all the worry with Ros. Hope she is getting on better with her new pills.

Good to know our Kim has enjoyed herself and been out and about!! Sounds like you had a great time and a good laugh too.

Can't get into anything today. Don't want to do anything and shall be cross that I have not achieved anything later on!! We had BLT with garlic mayo for lunch late. Have'nt the fogiest what is for dinner tonight and don't care either.......................

Sorry to hear that Frank. You must both be worried.......Tuesday does seem a long time to wait. We'll all be worrying till we know you are ok so listen to Ros and take care. xxxxx

Jane, I shall do that the day before.........thanks, you have reminded me I need to delete photos to make room for lots more!!!!! I think I shall take my other camera too as a back up. Getting quite excited now!!!

Jane I think my OH is doing some snoozing too.........supposed to be watching tv!! lol He seems to have run out of steam today.

David, was that Dennis doing the drilling? He did well didn't he and the life obviously suited him to have risen in the ranks like that.

Kim your trip to the shops sounded like a comedy! lol My sister uses a wheelchair (OA) and says she needs eyes in the back of her head when her OH is pushing her. lol

Frank,if it's easier rather than posting ,give me a ring!,and I will pass on messages.Hopefully all will be fine.
Ann it is not long now before Luton Hoo !!!!!!!.Have you got that camera charged up ??? :D

WONT STOP. JUST TO LET YOU KNOW I HAD A BAD TURN LAST NIGHT AND HAD BEEN IN BED SINCE. CAN'T USE MY RIGHT ARM AT THE MOMENT. HAVE TO SEE DOCTOR ON TUESDAY. WILL LET YOU KNOW THEN.

Afternoon All,

It's very dull and windy here now. Will have to check what plants need water later. While we were out for lunch, called in a garden centre I don't often visit and found some small Maori Hebes I had been looking for for ages. Four for £6, not bad price. We then called in an aquatic place and bought a pump for the little waterfall feature I'm planning to do. Less than half price....another bargain!

The only thing my OH buys for me is books or CDs or perfume he knows I will like. He loves books and is always rooting around in book shops and coming away with bargains. He wouldn't even consider clothes. Even I can't make my mind up on those half the time and have to take things back!! lol

I'm going nuts on these comparison sites for OH's car insurance. A lot don't cater for part time work and as for finding his new occupation!!! :S I think I will have to ring some instead. Still, I did find a deal on utilities that saved £83.......better in our pockets!!

I hate it when children are dragged into crime Kim. It must become such a way of life it becomes normal to do these things. They don't stand much chance.

I watched an old episode of He*rhunters this morning. The chap had died in a home, had mental illness and no family contact. A relation they traced said he had no mental illness before he was in the services in the last war and that he fell very much in love with a german girl, which was a big no no at that time. On the boat on his way home after the war his colleagues beat him up very, very badly and he developed mental illness shortly after. I must say I found it distasteful that these rellies were to get a share of his money.

Just realised it is your Beef Mandy lol not Fiona's

Fingers crossed that Beef will cook Fiona lol.I'm sure it will be delicious.
It is still blowing a gale here,but no rain.Chris has taken himself out to the summer house and is snoozing away lol.No doubt I will have to go and wake him.He looks very comfy stretched out on one of Hannah's sofas !!

I spoke to my sister on the phone just now ,and she asked if we could take/look after a big planter on a stand,as there will be no where to put it when they move house.It was her husbands parents and is about a hundred years old.Weighs a ton! .I said as long as you can get it here we will find a lovely place for it.I think it may be here forever lol ;-)

The wind has really got up here !! so gusty, the Gazebo is lifting up again .
Been out and watered all the pots and the spray from the hose kept blowing in my face !!
Forgot i had a piece of Beef in the fridge ,so that's now in the oven cooking ,will have that cold tomorrow now .

Kim, thank goodness your daughter was ok after the robbery , lets hope they catch them soon before they do it again !! fancy using a young one to keep look out !! terrible .

i hope this wind doesn't take the electric off before my beef is cooked !!

Afternoon Everyone.
Wet and soooooo windy here, went to Hom*ba*e for a new plug adapter and OH had to hang onto me in case I blew away, everybody at church this morning was moaning on about how fed up they all are with this wind, we have had it for weeks now.

since OH got this fish tank yesterday he has ordered a new cupboard to stand it on, as it's slightly bigger than the other one we have. so we will have to re arrange the dinning room furniture a bit .

Kim, who knows what will be the outcome of police investigation to do with the car accident involving my daughter and her boyfriend,
Nothing has been said to us about what the police have said it was all dealt with by boyfriends father as the accident happened in Inverness so our local police were not involved,
the Inverness police have the car as far as we know, But I know that daughters boyfriend is keeping in touch with his parents.
So we may get to know something in a few days time.

Need to do some ironing , Work shirts again OH away just for a couple of days to Germany, back Wednesday.
Hopefully now May is soon over he will be able to have some time at home.
