The last show i went to was Joseph and that was years ago when Phillip Schofield was playing Joseph.

You should have heard my sister ....she said only you could fall UP the stairs LOL
Rather you than me at the dentist tomorrow Jane , you were only talking about your crowns last week , saying you wanted to hold on to them lol

Now starting to feel tired , i was wide awake just after three this morning , do you think i could get off again , i think it was because i got hot ,i just kept tossing and turning , then when it was time to get up i could have slept in , i always get up with hubby and pack his lunch up for him and get breakfast while he's sorting out his work .

Hope Frank's ok , i know he said he had a bit of a todo with his DIL on Saturday ,maybe it's just trouble with his new computer not being set up properly yet .

It's been a lovely day here too Fiona.Makes a change to get washing dry outside instead of using the tumble drier all the time.And it smells so nice.

Mandy how is your bruise????Has it come out.

Mandy I saw Philip Schofield in Joseph in Oxford.Before the show started he came on stage and said if he suddenly disappeared he would be dashing off for the birth of his baby lol.Luckily he didn't get the call that night.

I am still going to try and hang on to my crowns.I have 3 in a row.I'm dosed up with pain killers at the moment and have been rubbing in that new Sensody** Rapid toothpaste.It does seem to help.It is a throbbing ache rather than a sharp pain,especially when I bite down.

My son emailed me just now to say his phone has died and do we have an old spare one he could have.I will be sending him my old Pink coloured one lol.I'm sure he won't be too impressed but better that than nothing .

Hairspray has to be one of my favourite musicals.......very lively. I would like to see War Horse, clips on the tele look good. That chap you sold the ticket to was a proper 'middle man' Jane. I wonder how often he does that.

Mandy, Brian Cox had my mind bending last night when he was talking about bending time!! All that talk of gravity and a tiny pebble sized thing that could be so dense that if you dropped it it would slice straight through the earth. He certainly gets you thinking out of the box!!

I got the giggles while I was out with OH today. When his BP monitor beeps and starts inflating he has to stop talking and stand still. (not easy for him!) The cuff was making his arm expand like Popeye's and I suddenly had a vision of the Hulk splitting his shirt!! lol He was grinning as well, just from seeing the look on my face. lol He's going to have some odd readings at this rate.

When he was waiting at the docs reception this morning he said there was an elderly couple in front and the lady was collecting a prescription and telling the receptionist, who had asked how she was, that she was getting a lot of pain from Spondylosis in her neck and perhaps should really see the doc about it. The receptionist, being helpful, said there was an appointment available at 4.00pm today. OH said before the woman could open her mouth, the husband said that's no good, we are going to As*a this afternoon!!! OH was shocked at the bullying rudeness of the man and wondered why women put up with it. As he said, the fact his wife was in pain should have mattered more than a trip to As*a and why couldn't they do both?

Fiona, Maureen, are your new computers Vista or XP? I seem to be the only one with Vista and it took me ages to find my way around it.

Just a slight bruise coming out Jane, but its very sore ,it's just above my elbow ,but at the front of my arm.
How's Hannah's ankle today , i bet thats sore !!
Oh Jane, your son will love you sending him a pink phone !!! LOL
you can get new covers for them though carn't you ?

I wish i had seen that programme Ann it sounds interesting
I bet you got some funny looks when OH's moniter beeped , thats the sort of thing that would set me off giggling ,and when i get the giggles i laugh at anything !!!!!
You'd think that man would have put his wife's health before As*a !!! honestly !!!

Ann I have vista and had trouble getting into to things and some of my old folders I still can't access.

I can only send pics from Documents so have to send them there first.

Still no Frrank and I am getting worried now. I hope he has'nt had one of his dizzy spells and fallen over again.

Friend asked if they could borrow our tailer to pick up some big round bales for their horses. when I got in from shopping OH asked me what I had sone with the key for the trailer lock. I said I put it on the key hanger. It was'nt there. We looked everywhere for it and could'nt find it. OH said I had lost it as he was'nt here when Graham borrowed it before. I have had a big black bag under the key hanger for quite a while now with all paper stuff in it for starting a bonfire, and am now wondering if it has fallen into the bag. The only thing is that OH burnt the bag full of paper at the weekend and I have covered all that up with 8 barrows of leaves and a huge hydranger I cut down. It has'nt all burnt but I think tomorrow I shall have to sive the bonfire to see if I can find it!!!!!!!!!!

LOL Mandy.I am always calling Chester in ,and turn round to find him looking at me from the back doorstep lol.

David I think I may have 4 or 5 crowns.Will count them in the morning.I just know I have those 3 in a row at the bottom where it is hurting right now.My Dentist is fairly good looking but has to be the most boring man on earth.I can't wait to get out of there.

Hannah's ankle is still gruesome.One of her toes has even turned black today.
Just watching second part of Waking the Dead.Must go >>>>don't want to miss it.

Viewed semi detached bungalow this afternoon.
Loads of work needs doing but nothing serious.
Has out house,lock up garage,,shed,largish well stocked gadens etc etc

Made an offer but I fear perhaps too low.
Will sleep on it and have a think.

Looked at 2 other bungalows comming home including the one we previously made an offer on.

Plenty of choice,not a lot of time,and its running out.

Morning All
Another warm day here although it seems to have clouded over now.I have cancelled the dentist as my toothache seems to be settling down.Fingers crossed it stays this way.

The sounds of spring were lovely when I was out with Chester.I could hear the baby Lambs bleating for their Mums,the Birds were singing there heads off,the sound of a couple of lawnmowers.Oh it made me feel good lol

I hope everyone is ok .Maybe we need a roll call !!!

Afternoon All,

Ann reporting in pronto! lol Lovely sunshine again and loads and loads of ladybirds in our front garden, all over it they are.

Oh Mel, I can just picture you with the seive and a sooty face. lol I hope you find it.

I have 2 crowns, but also a few missing molars. Glad it seems to be settling down again Jane. Sometimes these things seem to clear up on their own.

At least you have plenty of choice David, so I suppose you just need to weigh up your preferences, put in offers and see how it comes out! Bungalows are so much easier, especially to clean!!! Good luck.

OH has gone to have the contraption removed now. He was amazed that he managed to sleep quite well with it going off every hour. Then he's off to Gloucester with 2 mates later to see a match.......might be doing the radio report again. He gets in free if he does so that's good!

Before he goes he is going to try and saw off 2 pieces of half inch thick steel about a foot long that are close to the fence. We think they are old reinforcing rods from an old concrete line post. They are a nuisance and could poke in your eye so they are best got rid of.

Hi All
started out a nice day with sunshine and mild but has clouded over now but dry.

Been doing my exercises and spent a bit of time on the Wii won't get time later on as daughter no 2 will be down with boyfriend for tea, they have bought a second hand Wii so they can play games at their house and not have to come down here and ask me for a shot on MY Wii lol.
OH away in France-LEON tonight won't be back till Thursday . so it will be a quiet evening when the family go home after tea.

Glad your viewing houses David it keeps the spirit up when there's something to look at. there's so many houses around here for sale or rent but not many being sold.

I Must remember to buy some pink paint from the Early L*arn*ng C*ntre , I am baby sitting on Thursday for Sofia and want to try and get her to make a Mothers Day Card for her Mamma,
SIL won't think to buy a card from Sofia for daughter no 1 as his family don't give or send cards to people they just make phone Calls.
Daughter does the cards for birthday's etc.
At least when Sofia goes to nursery she will make her own one there.

Thinking it might be lunch time, will go and see what s in the fridge

Hi Everyone! Been very busy the last couple of days. Have decided to give the house a good birthday, painting the kitchen and sitting room as they are beginning to look a bit shabby!!! House sale on the back burner now, agents have persuaded us to keep it on the market,but as we have probably lost where we want to go, I'm now not even sure that we will be going at all!! Just have to suck it and see, at least if we can find another buyer it will prove that it will sell! (I'm beginning to wonder!!!) Apart from that, everything seems fairly OK, Ian progresses well, still problems on the peeing front during the day, but Ok now at night! just a question of time I guess!

Afternoon everyone,

What a lovely day ,the sun is really warm , been busy getting some jobs done and off to do some shopping soon.

Hope you can find the key Mel, its so annoying when you carn't find something ,have you looked through all your coat pockets ? things always seem to turn up in the most unusual places ,i think some times its because you have it in your hand , you then go on to do something else and it gets put down where it shouldn't be !!!!

Jane , i hope you stay pain free with your tooth , some times it comes back with vengeance though !!! and more often then not at the weekend when the dentist is shut !!!

Ann, i thought you'd sawn those rods through last year ,or are they another lot ?

Its certainly spring here today ,i've got the back door and all the bedroom windows open and the birds are singing away ,roll on the summer .

Where's Shirl ?? hope she's ok

Well the suns gone in and now it's cloudy and turned a bit cold.

I spent most of this morning washing down my little table and took off the polythene that goes round it and washed all that too.

The table (an old tea trolly) needs another coat of paint before I put the poly back on and was hoping to do it this afternoon. Have helped oh with taking off the middle section of the pond netting on the heavy frame so he could retrieve a dead mouse from the pond. He has cleaned out the filter this morning too.

Brought my paint brushes back to life after leaving them in water since last year out in the shed and the water had disappeared. Paint all hard on the bristles but it is that garden paint and they have washed up quite well.

Still no Frank and I am really worried now.
