Kim,my Frittata was STUPENDOUS!.It was really good.I gave myself a gold medal lol
As for a Jewel in my Belly Button.I can't see my belly button.Size 8!!.I have never been that ,nor anywhere near it sadly .
You sound as though you have some lovely pressies for your birthday.I always tell my OH not to buy me clothes of any sort.He has no b****y idea lol and I always end up taking things back.He asked me want I'd like for my birthday in July.I just want perfume.I cannot be without it.I have had the same one for a couple of years now so may look for a new one.

As for that robbery.I think that people that use Children are the lowest of the low.Poor kid.It makes you wonder how his life will pan out .Not good I reckon .Don't me started lol

Faffing and Fuffing are the same .Liz has a great word for the same thing.She says Pickling around! .
:D

Now is there faffing and fuffing, I'm confused.

What a way to start, hello everyone. Rotten weather here, been bucketing down all day and cold.

OH took me to Erina Fair to get a few things for my birthday. He has been coming home with things (God love him) that don't suit me or I just wouldn't wear. Certain colours, styles. I'm not an orange or yellow sort of girl, they just make me look pasty (spell?).

So, instead of pjs and dressing gowns with slippers, I got a lovely warm scarf, a pair of earrings (just dress type, nothing expensive), a pair of jeans as none of my others fit - Size 8 again it's been years!!!!!! a pair of low heeled boots (can't wear high heels any more - too doddery) and a matching hand bag. Haven't I been spoiled - lucky it was a big sale. This lot will last me for years to come. Frank you are officially off the hook, lol :D :D This is the first time in 4 years that I had been shopping (had to go in the wheelchair, but that was ok). Keith is a terrible steerer - banged my legs and feet into several tables and stands and I went face first into the jumpers!! Well, he had his own jumper on back to front (discovered that when we got home). I thought something looked a bit strange when he went to pay for the petrol. That may well be the reason we were all over the place in the shops, haha.

Jane your bouquet is lovely - I don't believe I have ever seen roses of that colour!! Jiggling Jane - have you got a jewel for your belly? Good luck with those pants, they are very comfortable, I know. How did the frittata turn out by the way? haha I can just picture you in your kitchen - a sip here a dash there, lol. Yes, I think you are definitely a true, vintage wine (the best).

We have been having such a time with the internet - keeps going off. I have lost a couple of posts on here since yesterday, but I am reading on other threads that people are having trouble with the Genes site.

My daughter was doing a shift at K-mart tonight and there was a robbery. One fellow took off, a woman was involved also and they left a young boy in the shop with half the cash. Apparently, he was also the lookout - how low can they sink????? The police hadn't arrived by the time the shift had finished, but it will probably be in the local papers. Second time this group has been involved - they all got away last time :-(

Fiona, so glad your daughter and her boyfriend are safely home. What will happen now with the police investigation?

Hello to Mel and David. Is there any sign of Frank or Shirl yet?

I might go and watch some telly, before bed. It is 11.17 pm EST

BBL (if I stay awake).

I have just been looking at all the photos of Baby Ethan from just after he was born.Rachel has set up a photo gallery thingy.90 pics so far !!!!!!!.
I am sure there will be lots more to come lol.

Chris has just watered the WHOLE garden .It is bone dry.Another soaking later I think unless we have a decent downpour(which doesn't look very likely)
The wind is very strong,and it is actually quite warm so I think the ground will be dried out again pretty soon.

Afternoon everyone,
Dry here but so windy again.
Been to sons for coffee this morning ,called and got petrol, then went to Homeba*e for some Step Paint .

We them took ourselves off to Peter Beal*s to see if they could name the other rose we have that was my Grandmothers , a nice man there said he was not sure what it is he looked through several books , he said it might be an very old one that has now died out, he is going to get Peter Beale to have a look and see if he knows what it is and he will ring me on Tuesday .
Bought a new rose for the front garden called Comte de Chambord , its a nice pink one , and very fragrant too.

We stopped there and had some lunch and a drink, which was nice ,now i don't have to cook , we'll only want a sandwich later perhaps .
Hubby's watching the Grand prix , think i might get my Cross stitch out , i haven't done any for a while .

just make a cuppa first though.

BBL

I'm still here Mel.Just having a break from the ironing.It is quiet isn't it.
I'm not cooking until this evening and it will be Italian Chicken with Saute potatoes,asparagus and peas.

Maybe everyone is out trying to bag a bargain in the Bank Holiday Sales.I was going to go and have a look about but can't be a***d lol

I see Shirl still hasn't managed to get back.How frustrating for her.I hope she gets sorted.

Where is everyone today?

Morning David,Mel and all
I have had my shower and hair wash and can't decide whether to let my hair dry on its own or use the dryer.Decisions Decisions lol
It is very blustery here this morning but so far dry.I could hang some washing out and hope we don't have a shower.

Nothing from Kim this morning.Thats unusual.
I have decided to go and dry my hair.BBL

Oh has just come out and said he is going to Okehampton as he is ringing for church this morning. So I think I shall go in the shower and perhaps wash my hair afterwards.

Morning on this dull and mizley day, yes another one!!

I ache all over this morning even my toes.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tighten the elastic Jane,or wear cotton instead of silk :D

Fiona,I'm so glad your daughter wasn't seriosly injured,includes her boy friend.
Should think there will be an enquiry?That baldy tyre will get mentioned.

I wouldn't dream of prying into your underwear Fiona ;-)

I will not be discussing my underwear thank you David ;-)

love your flowers Jane and your photo looks very nice placed beside them

Daughter & boyfriend have just left to go home. both are very tired but in good humour , daughter has a large bruise were the seat belt was and also a bit of whiplash and a bump on the head, she thinks she must have hit her head on the car door or window when the car somersaulted 3 times before it landed in the ditch.
Boyfriend has a bump on his head, and a cut on his hand where he had to smash the window at the back of the car to get out, after telling us the story again , they are so lucky to get away with minor injuries.
seems the car hit a large pot hole in the road and boyfriend had to swerve into the kerb but because of the tyres being faulty there was no grip and the car spun out of control and somersaulted and landed upside down in a ditch.
anyway we can all relax and have a good night sleep.
and get back to normal life tomorrow, mind you I will worry like hell every time they are out in a car now.

David lol it's just me and my new fandangle trouser things I bought.They just don't grip on to my pants ,and slide down !.I need a few safety pins lol.Don't let that imagination run away lol.Calm down now!! ;-)

What's this about slippery knickers?
Have we been discussing our underwear while Ive been away?

:D

Hopefully Mel we will keep Maturing lol
I am still doing this Frittata thing.I seem to be following 2 recipes ,plus having had a glass or 2 of wine.At this rate we will be lucky to end up with anything lol :S :S :S

Think we will have gammon steaks tonight with a nice fresh egg on top, chips and green beans and brocc. Nice and easy.
