Would'nt Sandra have loved all the snow Shirl has. She could make a snowman bigger than a house with all that.



<3 <3 <3 <3 ITS TUESDAY TODAY <3 <3 <3 <3

mORNING YOU ;LOT, eVENING kIM,

(SORRY) I have just sent a message to Shirl. I always use capitals.

I think I have a touch of sleeping sickness :-D :-D It was after 8.00 before I woke this morning. Ros was up and about around 5.00 am so she tells me. !!!

Lots of sunshine and cold winds. they say we will get it wet later in the evening.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TUESDAY TODAY JANE !!!!!!!!!!! you silly old duffer <3 <3 <3

Ros has spoken to Jan this morning. Would you believe she has managed to get a FLIGHT to see Conrad for £30.00 return from Bristol. She is only allowed 5 kilos of baggage. As she said that's het handbag and makeup. I think she will wear extra under cloths going out. I think she has shorts etc already out there. She might have other cloths, I don't really know. But what a bargain.!!!!

Shirl has really got the snow hasn't she. I told her she can keep it. Is it her big 80 this time round. ???

Ros is in the shower now, and I will go in after her. (NOT WITH HER) LOL

Big black clouds looming over, so we might get some rain before tonight.

Ros has just finished a play mat (quilt) for the new baby that's due in May. She has a big wicker basket that she is filling with quilts, shawls, jackets for when the baby is born. I think she is looking forward to the event as much as the Mother !!!!

Have a "NICE DAY"

My birthday present has just arrived!! Oh is setting it up for me now.

It's Tuesday Jane

It's all set up and working and I have it outside the back door on the patio filming the robins wagtail and dunnock.

Afternoon all,

Yes it's TUESDAY here too :-D :-D Tuesday all day today :-D :-D definitely Tuesday :-D

Nice and sunny now after a cloudy start ,been shopping ,hubby took me in the van after son and hubby had taken some old lead to the scrap yard ,they only had a few barrows of lead but they got nearly £100 for it, they save it up until they have a load then they have a share out of what ever they get or it.


Oh Mel it will be exciting to see what you can film on the new camera during the night ,wonder if the old fox will show up .

Few clouds building up ,they look quite grey .

Still Tuesday Jane :-D

Afternoon all

Before I say anything IT'S TUESDAY TODAY JANE :-D :-D :-D

Lovely sunshine this morning but now it's all cloudy and has just started to rain :-(.

Sorry to hear about your car Mandy, I hope they find who did it and punish them for it.

Glad to hear your heating is sorted now Frank :-D Hope you manage to sort your radiator out soon Jane.

My mum collapsed yesterday at home so I spent all afternoon with her. I managed to persuade her to see a doctor and he thinks it's her diabetes. She makes a terrible patient but I think it's because she used to be a nurse. She probably only went to see the doctor because I wouldn't take no for an answer. I do worry about her, but she just tell me not to.......easier said than done.

OH is back in work today, although I think he should of had a few days off. He went to the doctors yesterday and was told that he has damaged the tendons in his ankle so it's all bandaged up. After we went to the doctors we nipped across the road to Tesc*s and bumped into OH's boss. It's the first time I've met her and OH told her, jokingly, that he had to have 6 weeks off work. Well you should of seen her face, it was so funny. You could see the panic then the relief when she realised he was joking and that he would be back in work the following day. Luckily he had two days off so manage to rest it, otherwise I think it might of ended up worse than it actually is.

I've got to go back to the doctors on Thursday to have my wrist drained. I've had a ganglion at the base of my right thumb for months and it was so painful yesterday I saw a doctor who said it needed draining..........not looking forward to that, but hopefully it'll work and the pain will finally go.

I'm trying to rest my hand as much as I can and the doctor gave me some strong anti-inflammatory's to take, as he wants some of the swelling to go down before he drains it.

I'm just going to put the meat on to cook slowly for dinner tonight then watch a bit of TV with Sandra. I've been doing a lot of typing lately with my family tree so should really take a break and rest and hand.
BBL <3

Six hours of ironing today, it's either famine or feast, next week should be much less.

I think I'll have a go at counting the cards Mel, I might be shocked at the amount. I only do them for pleasure Frank, just for family and my special friends :-D


I hope they catch those vandals Mandy, what a shock they'd get if they were caught on CCTV and the police come knocking on their door. A few years back someone smashed son's rear window crawled through it and stole his stereo and other stuff but the idiot cut himself on the glass and the police got him through his DNA.

Looks like son's move will be happening soon, he has signed his contract and should be exchanging by Friday so it will be all systems go in just over a week, I shall be up in Bedford with him for a week gettting the house decorated.

That's a good tip about the rads Mandy, I must try it as one of the bedroom rads is luke warm.

Hope your mum is okay now Gill, they do say people in the medical profession make the worse patients

Afternoon all,

All excitement in your household then Mel, I can see you commentating on your films, like David Attenborough :-D :-D :-D "This is ROBBIE the Robin etc "

Where's the TUESDAY GIRL today.?? Hiding or thinking it's WEDNESDAY lol

Your OH boss would have been in a right mess if he had to have 6 weeks off Gill. Hope your Mum improves soon, and your thumb isn't too sore.

We have had showers this afternoon, and just poking my nose outside is enough to freeze it off. !!!

Roast Lamb in a mint marinade with potato wedges, cabbage, peas and carrots tonight. The meat has been in for 4 hours on 100 degrees, so should fall off the bone by 6.00 when we have it. It smells divine.

Ros has made another cot blanket for the LINUS this afternoon. Some child will love it, it's got kittens over it ahhhhhhhhhhh

Thanks everyone for reminding me it is Tuesday :-D..It still feels like a Monday to me lol.When I went to bed last night I took a Brisket joint out for today ...Silly me.I was still thinking it was Sunday forgetting we actually had meals ready for today.What a Silly Billy I am :-S Daft as a brush.

I hope Mum is ok now Gill.Good job you insisted she went to see her GP..My Chris must be one of the worst patients too.I dread to think what he will be like if he ever needs to see his GP !!!!!.I just know that he would put it off and off.When he was working he was able to treat himself for things like antibiotics etc.But no longer of course.
He has been telling me for the last few days how tired he was..He slept for over 12 hours last night :-0 :-0..I kept checking to make sure he was still alive LOL.

I took 3 of our logs into the Garden Shop earlier as Chris was saying how wet some of them are.I was in there this morning and the chap asked me how we were getting on with them.When I told him Chris wasn't very pleased with them he asked me to take a couple in so he could teat them with his Moisture Monitor ....he said they were way over .So he is going contact the supplier and tell them ..He said I am the first person to have ever had a problem ..Trust it to be us !

Mandy the radiator in the kitchen seems ok again today .But next time it goes cold we will try turning upstairs ones off like you suggest..Thanks for that advice.

Gill I hope that work go easy on your OH for a few days.They are so lucky that he has been able to back so soon after his nasty accident.

Frank that is a brilliant price for the air ticket Jan got.You are probably right ,and she will have a supply of clothes already in Spain,so hopefully she will just about manage with her hand luggage.

Wow Shirl looks nearly snowed in there in Canada.I hope her Nieces manage to get there ok next week for her Birthday..Yes Frank I think it might be her big one .Reason why the Nieces are going out?

Ooh Gill don't like the sound of having your Ganglion drained..Aren't you supposed to bash it with a Bible LOL..That's what my Mum always said :-D

Mel I hope you manage to get some good filming done on with your new pressy :-D :-D
Bet you can't wait to see what you have got :-D

I better get this food in the oven .Didn't realise it was so late.

Yes, I thought you were supposed to bash a ganglia with a Bible Jane!! .I've never had one, a ganglia that is, so I've never put it to the test!!
Funny old day here, one minute high winds and cold, the next no wind and quite mild!! This afternoon I was home alone, so I sorted out our cabinet where we keep bill's receipts and so on. It was full of papers going back to goodness knows when, so I had a purge, and chucked out a load of it, the black box men are here tomorrow, so off it'll go without ' you know who' being any the wiser!! After that I made a cake!!!
Tonight we're having long spaghetti and salad, so nice and easy. Everything will go into the dishwasher, so very little clearing up. Tomorrow we're off to Sainsbury's! You can see what an exciting life I lead!!

You missed me there Frank..I see 3 posts slipped in while I must have been posting mine.

Maureen I don't know how you can manage all those hours of ironing all at once.Doesn't it make your back ache?.I have a pile waiting on the ironing board now.I'll get some done in the morning before we go off to Northampton again for lunch and the cinema .We are going to see Selma this week.

Ann I imagine you were tickled pink seeing the programme .How lovely to see the wife still riding :-D

Ahh Frank that little baby blanket with Kittens on sounds so cute :-D Ros's handiwork is going to be so appreciated :-D

The window cleaner turned up this morning just as I was about to get in the shower.
As normal I was hiding lol Chris was downstairs and I rang him from my mobile so he could let me know when it was safe for me to get naked .I had whizzed around and pulled all the curtains up stairs but even then there is always the worry that there might be a gap LOL.

I have had a go with the camera but the first time it did'nt take anything. Oh had fiddled with something. Then I took some more just to see if it was any wider and it was. Nothing of interest really so I cleared it. I had a try at the little vole that comes on the patio but I hav'nt looked to see if I have got it yet. It takes 20 seconds to take a video after it take the first still so when I died the birds feeding on mealworms on the patio they fly in and it takes a pic then they are gone by the time it takes the vid.

Cleaned the big girls out this afternoon. It was quite mild out today after the wind dropped a bit but it is getting chilly now so I think I shall turn the heating on now.

Chilli for oh tonight and it's already cooked and I shall have a nice couple of boiled eggs.

Gill I am pleased you managed to get your mum to see her doctor. They need pushing when they get older. I know mine did. Hope hubbies tendon heals quickly. They can take a while to get back to normal. As to your ganglian, I have had quite a few of those in my time but never had to have one drained before. I either banged them by mistake or they just disappeared. I got one on my wrist when we had the Triumph Stag shutting the back down when we'd had the soft top up. It was on my left wrist just where it meets my hand. Had it for ages until one day I found it was'nt there anymore.

Gosh look at the time I had better feed the hungry or I shall be told off for gassing on here.

BBL

I just went and stood outside.I have not seen such a beautiful starry night like this for a long time.It's wonderful :-D :-D

It has rained here this evening after such a lovely day too.

Where any of you watching Broadchurch?? if so what did you think of the last episode?

Like the pic of Merlin on Liz's post now. His grass looks really tasty...... my chickens would like that. They have eaten all their grass in their run.


It's still Tuesday at the mo Jane and tomorrow it is Wednesday.

Morning all and evening Kim,

I said Night Night last night and could'nt have posted it. Silly Moo. Must have typed it and then turned the pooter off and not submitted it.

Anyway here I am this morning on this dull grey day with rain.............

Have to pop up the village in a min to do an errand.

Am looking forward to seeing the new Poldark just to pick holes in it. It could never be anything like the first one. I read the books mum bought me them for a pressy.

JANE TODAY IS WEDNESDAY FROM 12am TO 12pm. ;-) ;-) :-S :-S :-D :-D

Morning All, Evening Kim

It was freezing here last night 2 degrees at 7.30pm when we took Sofia home, OH had to scrape the windscreen before he could see out,
yesterday Oh went for a bike ride, and came back after being out for 2 hours, it was cold but sunny , during his ride, it started to snow , hailstones, raining ,sleet & by the time he got in he was frozen, he had to run a bath and was in for 1/2 till he thawed out.
It's sunny to day with almost a clear sky, but it can change very quick.

Katherine has had no news about the interview she went to last week, so no news means no go. anyway at least she still has a job to go to at the kilt shop.

out for coffee this morning , I'm getting picked up at 10.50. then I have a dentist appointment at 12.20, thought I better go and have a check up it's been awhile since I was last there. I think the usual fella has moved on . so it's a woman this time,

Morning/Evening All

Nice morning here so far.Sun and cloud :-D.
Sorry it seems a no go with Katherines interview Fiona.I expect she will keep looking for the right job.The good thing is that she has her job now.Frustrating though for her not to hear anything at all from the interview,even if it is just to say she has been unsuccessful this time.

I need to get a few things done before we go to Northampton so will say tatty bye for now. Back later today

Morning all, evening Kim,,

Nothing exciting happening here today. Grey sort of day, I haven't been out yet so don't know if it's cold.

I think I will have to issue JANE with a pass, the number of times she comes to my neck of the woods !!

Enjoy your coffee morning Fiona, and hope the dentist check up goes alright.

Mel, I am sure once you get use to the camera, you will find you can make adjustments to the video. Not that I know anything about them :-D :-D :-D

Did you get all the ironing done Maureen ?? What a job to look forward to each week. But as you say it brings in as few bob !!

Gill, I trust your OH can work with his ankle all bandaged up. How's your Mum today. ??

Shower and shave time for me, lazy old B###er aren't I ???

Hi, Just sent some snaps of Snowdrops and Ros's handy work on the Blankets and play mat.

Been down the garden to put some fat balls up for the birds. I also chopped up some cold sausages and lamb from last night, Put it on the front lawn for the birds. So far I have had FOUR CATS and NO BIRDS. I think I got it wrong somehow. :-D :-D :-D

Ros has gone to Tesc# and the tyre place. Her front off side tyre is going down again. (MORE EXPENCE)
