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

Well Jane both cheese and Wine improve with age!!!!!!

Here we go.Hannah's card
Dear Mum and Dad
Like wine and cheese you have matured beautifully together.
You can decide who is the cheese and who is the wine!
Not many can say they celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary!
My love always Hannah xxxx
The pressie is a punt on the river at Cambridge.(NO .Chris will not be doing the punting) someone will do it for us lolol
Plus she has given us a nice bottle of Bubbly.
I don't know quite what to say ..............other than I AM NOT THE CHEESE

Now I have to go and make this Frittata thingamebob. Ann it is a bit like a solid omelette (sp).Yes potatoes are used for some ..but not mine!!
I think it would be easier for me to have got a take away!!!! :S :S

Mel the outfit I have on in the pic is the same one I wore for Rachel's wedding.But the pic is of me and Chris on a cruise for our 25th Anniversary.As I had only worn it once I decided it was ok for her wedding(no-one had seen it before )lol ,and it cost a bomb.
We have a nice evening here .Blue Sky!! (for now).
Chris has woken up and as predicted being a plonker.First hink he said when he came downstairs was what a mess the lounge looks!!!!!!!!!!.I told him to go and have a wander down the garden and wake up,and to keep his comments to himself lol

My next post will be telling you the wonderful card and gift Hannah has given us

Stop it Mandy!!!! lol I just had a vision of our Jane rising above the treetops in her new pants. Maybe they come with instructions?? I might try some after all. lol

It sounds as though GR have done some 'fixes'........good that you have your pic now. Hope you enjoy your evening at your sister's.........a Chinese sounds nice.....ages since I had one.

Jane, is a frittata a sort of potato pancake with veg bits in? It sounds good. I like the brown sauce remedy........OH usually goes for the salad cream!! lol

Ann, when i looked on my profile page and found it had altered and the words change and clear were there , so i had a fiddle, followed your instructions and Bob's your Uncle i did it , feel really chuffed with myself :-)

Your flowers are pretty Jane ,they look lovely with the photo beside them , so the Harem pants didn't do much for hubby then !! LOL
They look nice , but do they inflate in the wind LOL

Off out tonight to sisters ,then calling for a Chinese takeaway on the way home.

Forgot to say what a clever girl Mandy is to get a pic on here.

Got into site alright this morning but could'nt get in just now. Had to go to a message again.

Jane the flowers are really lovely. What a good choice Chris has.Was the photo from Rachael's wedding? I don't think it is silly to put your pic next to them, I think it is lovely.
Have rung for the wedding blessing so thats another £90 in the bell fund. I had to pay the youngster I got in to ring a bell. We have another one next week too.

It has broken the day up so have'nt got anything done today at all.

Too wet for OH to do any cementing so he has'nt done anything either.

Ann he had such a shock he had to go and have a lie down.He is still there lol.I tried to wake him up just now and he told me to go away( not exactly those words) lol.Unrepeatable here!.He will be a right pain in the backside when he does wake up.I think he is just exhausted.
You were late up today.I think it is nice to have a lie in and not feel guilty.

Dinner tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Frittata.I haven't done one of these before,so it could turn out total pants lol.I have chopped up lots of things to go in it.Red Pepper,spring onions, asparagus,mushrooms,bacon.I think I have to put grated Cheddar and Parmesan too.I have some little sausages cooking in the oven to go with.Gawd knows what Chris will think of this lot.I just hope we have some Brown Sauce!! Wish me luck :S

Mandy, how did you do it........clever you. I bet your son will be surprised!!

Jane your flowers are gorgeous.........good choice with lovely scent!! I think it is nice to put your photo next to them......I would have done that too. lol So the pantaloons are 'on' again then!! lol Must say I like comfy things around the house too........can just picture Chris's face...........must have thought you'd been to 'exotic' dance classes in the day while he was at work and that he was in for a treat!!! ;-) ;-)

I bet James is so glad those exams are over!!

I have just watched the dog video too........brilliant, couldn't stop laughing either!!

Fiona, I have a space along one of the lounge walls for a fish tank of tropicals. I used to keep them as a teenager and when I was married for quite a few years. I agree with you though 3 tanks might be a bit much. This time I would only have a smallish tank. I still have all the heaters and other gear in the loft.....probably no good now. They are with the dog collar, lead and bowl up there and the pony headcollar, grooming brushes and haynet!! lol

We weren't up till after 11.00am this morning and are having a quiet day as we still feel tired. That means OH is watching tv while you know who sorts his car insurance for him.

What is all this logging in thing going on before you can reply to a post???
Poor Shirl still can't get on here.Apparently they can't find her registration!!
She just asked me to let you know.

Hannah has just got in from the hairdressers and says my Harem pants are fine !!! That was a bit of a surprise.She agrees with me and says it is my slippery knicks that are dragging them down lol.
Chris went for a little nap about 2 hours ago.He is still asleep.He must be tired!It is probably the thought of being married to me for so long lolol
I bet my son is still in the Pub Celebrating finishing his 3 years at Uni .I dread to think what state he will be in later lol.His girlfriend still has 2 weeks of exams.

Hello all, I did post something on here earlier, but the internet went down and I lost the lot. Frank those two dogs were hilarious!! Jane OH bought me a pair of black harem pants this year, but they looked so terrible on me that I handed them over to my daughter - she likes them!! Frank she's a bit young to be joining the harem - anyone over 25 is ancient to her, lol.

Would love to see a pic of your flowers - have a really happy anniversary.

Things happening with this site. Problems occurring with other threads. I thought it was me :S Emoticons land wherever they like :-(

It is 11.35 pm EST and I'm off to the couch for some viewing. Cheers.

Clever Mandy, OH had to show me what to do.

I walked away from the computer and the paragraphs have altered. The comment to Mandy was made first and then I put the time and signed off. Don't know what's up, but it's a bit odd. Maybe I need a pill, lol.

Well done you Mandy.I had to get James to help me do my pic.
Our Anniversary is actually on Monday,but with it being Bank Holiday I might not have got the flowers then.

Anne,you won't believe this,but I took those Harem pants back and have come home with a smaller pair lolol.Guess what ,they keep slipping too.I think it is my silky pants that don't help.Maybe if I had a cotton pair the trousers might grip on a bit !.I have to say though they are comfy.Why don't you give them a go.I will probably only wear them at home and in the garden.You should have seen Chris's face when I came downstairs in them!!!.

Fiona I bet there will be some big hugs when your daughter and boyfriend arrive.Maye even a few tears of relief.It sounds as though your OH is very pleased with all his new fishy things!!I would quite like to have tropical fish .It is so relaxing watching them,and all the lovely colours.But I couldn't be doing with all the cleaning out etc.Rachel in Dubai have a wonderful tank.It is quite large .I know she said that when they move back to the UK(whenever that might be) she will have the Tank and fish brought back too!!
What a miserable morning it has been.It looks like it could be brightening up a bit now.But it isn't that warm ,and quite windy.
When I was at Tes** it seemed to be lots of men shopping.They didn't look a happy bunch.I got a really dirty look off one when our trolley's nearly collided,and I heard a little mutter of swearing lol.I just smiled sweetly. :P

Oh look !!!! i've done it !!! that's me and my Daddy sitting on the swing in the garden.
I did it all on my own , wait till i tell son LOL

Morning All,

It is awful if hire firms don't check the cars themselves before they go out, especially as their insurance could be void if they are faulty. As you say Fiona, at least they are safe!!

Jane I was looking at some of those pantaloons the other day......think I will steer clear!!

Thanks for the lovely photos Frank. Ros looks a lovely lady!! Wish I was brave enough to fly anywhere!!!

Afternoon everyone,

Dull and windy here ,no rain so far

Fiona , you'll be glad to have your daughter back home, hope they're not to bruised and battered , the shock will probably hit them today .

Happy Anniversary to you both Jane , have a lovely day , the flowers sound nice ,our Anniversary is next Sunday , 35 years !!!!

Frank, thanks so much for sending the dog video , it's the funniest thing i've seen for a long time , have passed it on to son for the little ones to watch , i bet they love it , i did :D

Frank
You have certainly cheered me up after the last weeks sad events I have had, I thought that dog video, or whatever it is was fantastic , I was crying with laughter,

Thanks

must go and get ready to pick up daughter no 2 and boyfriend , silly me got it wrong , they are travelling by train not the bus. two many arrangements being passed about.
BBL

The flowers sound lovely Jane, Happy Anniversary to you and Chris.

Jane I am imaging you in those pantaloons, it's a good job you can't see my face :D sorry. maybe you thought you might like to be princess Jasmine for the day and is Chris your Aladdin , hope your wishes come true ,has Chris got the Magic Lamp LOL ;-)

OH back with the fish tank etc. Oh what a lot of stuff. !!!!!! the lady who passed away was very much into fish and has all sorts of accessories, OH collogue from work has given him three big bags full of heaters food, cleaners and equipment. plus fish, and a bigger more modern tank , OH thinks he might do a swop and change his old tank for her more modern tank. as long as he does a swop and not an addition to, ,I couldn't cope with 3 tanks to listen to bubbling away and to feed while OH is swanning around the world. :-( lol

Oh Frank you little devil.There you are!

Frank can't post today.He is having trouble.Shirl doesn't seem to have got sorted either.What is going on???

James has just rung.He has just finished his Final Exam!!!!!.He is now in the PUB.He better start looking for work lol.

A box arrived just now.A lovely bowl of Roses and Lavender for my anniversary from Chris.I will take a pic later.
Off to return these flipping pantaloons lolol :O
