If there was a spell check on this site we all could type as fast as we wanted,then do a spell check before submitting it.

Has it been considered by the GR team?

Evening All, You might have known, I would be here now ,with BL~~~y
X factor on.

Ros thought you might like the receipe So she's written out for me:- Here Goes :
Into a Saucepan put 4 tablespoons of water.
4 oz of Butter
12 oz Demara Sugar
3 tablespoons of Golden Strup
1 bag of Tesco's cheap salted peanuts.


Heat in the saucepan till all disolved, bring to the boil for two minutes
Then boil on low heat for 10/15 minutes with the lid on
Have a bowl of cold water to hand
Stir comtimually after 10 minutes.
Drizzle a small amount into cold water.If soft, not ready, don't leave it or it will burn Fine line between DONE AND BUGGERED.
When you can feel the toffee is crunchy Take of heat.
Line a flat tin with a Teflon sheet.
Spread the peanuts evenly over sheet, and pour over toffee.
Leave to set, about 10/15 minutes
THEN EAT. YUM YUM'

Hope I've got that right.

Glad you had a good day yesterday Jane.

When I first learnt to type, it was on the old ribbon type Remington back in 1953. It was we had a typist pool of 14 girls/women. My old General Manager's favourite expression to me was "Beford you can look, but don't touch" Little did he know !!!!

Ros has just said the little dark girl is out. three remaining for next week. Then it's OVER.

Mel, I had the "little Robin" sitting on the pillar box.

Just nipping in quickly as pooter has been a bit funny tonight.
Yes Frank it is a girl called Misha B that has gone from the X Factor.I actually thought she could have won the competition .Brilliant voice.
Hope poor Puss can hang on in there for a while Frank ,but I know you will know the right time to let him go.It is a dreadful thing to have to make that decision with our pets.I get tearful just thinking of it.

I have just spotted you have the scaffolding now Mel :-D :-D :-D.One step forward now to getting your panels up.
Must go now before this disappears.
See you all tomorrow xx

FRANK ---''WHAT IS GOLDEN- ' STRUP' ha ha ? :-S

Thank you to Fiona and Frank for your cards; they arrived today :-)

Sorry I will have to come back later and try again.

Morning All

We had snow in the middle of the night AH!!!!
only about an inch , it's not that bad, still no phone calls from builders etc, so OH working from home just incase they arrive without notice

I'm going for a shower,
BBL :-) :-)

Morning all and evening Kim,

Suns out today and it is not bad out there but we did have some hailstones in the night.

When I awoke this morning, oh must have been cold in the night as there was an extra thin quilt on the bed and my hairy blanket that he dos'nt like to touch!! The thin quilt was there when I went to bed but not the blanket.

Have'nt heard anything yet from the fitters but I suppose it is still early as we were'nt expecting the scaffold to be up by today anyway. they told us the fit would be on the 5th.

I have to go shopping today too. No beers left for oh!! :-(

Just had my shower and weighed myself
WAIT FOR IT -I have put on 1 lb HE HE lol :-D :-D

I am now 6stone 6pounds,

Morning Mel

Morning All
There you go Fiona .I bet now you have put on a bit it will continue little by little.

Oh it's Brass Monkey weather today.Icy pavements too earlier.It was a little dicey when I went out with Chester.
I am off to the P.O to get my stamps .I'll make sure I don't lose the Frank ;-) ;-)

Gosh I have just been round to the chickens and the wind has come up and it is biteing. My hands are so cold I can hardly type.

Morning Jane. Just going to ring and see if I can find out when they are coming to fit the panels.

Watch this space.

Morning all,
Well the time has come for the old cat. I didn't mention that he has been weeing on the armchair for the passed few nights seats with bin linners, and a thick cloth, now he has peed over the arm of the chair. I've got him booked in for 5.40pm today. £23.40 plus £27.00 to creamate him.. But I will bring him home and put him to rest in a nice spot in the garden.

The bloody typing has gone all over the place,I tryed to alter something and it just types over what I have already typed. I was saying we covereed the seats with bin linners

Not in much of a mood to talk. Speak to you tonight.

Thanks Mel & Frank for Christmas Cards,
Electrian been to sort out wires etc in Porch, don't think we will be getting any builders now today, may turn up tomorrow

Sorry Frank about your old cat, but it's probably for the best, though for saying that it doesn't take the sad loss of having to see him go away. :-( <3

So sorry Frank. It's the saddest of times when you lose a pet. I think my girl will be joining him soon. Thoughts are with you. I still have that photo of him stretched out on the lawn. Such a beautiful cat. :-( :-(

I'm so sorry Frank.But it is the right and kindest thing to do for puss.You will miss him terribly ,but remember what a wonderful life he has had with you both.
I'll be thinking of you later. <3 <3

That has made me feel sad Frank, will be thinking of you later. Thank you for your card.

Very cold here, will stay in the warm and try and sort out whose got who what on the Christmas lists, it's all got very confusing.

ALL CHANGE.=!!!! I just can't do it to him yet. This pass two hours I have been in another world. So decided to give him a little longer. We will make him up a bed in the porch, next to the cat flap. If he wees the bed, it's easy to wash and put another down. It might be, he is so comfortable in the chair, that he can't be bother to make his way out. How spoilt can he be.!!!!!

At the moment he is tucking into some food and Whiska# milk,He looks so content. How could I do it to him. :-0 :-0 :-0

Ros has gone off to Tresc# to get a large Banana type box to make his bed in. and get some bits. Oh what a HAPPY BOY I AM !!!!

I have been into the Garage to bring in all the Christmas Tree, lights, decorations.etc. Two box's on wheels for the Christmas tree, Nine box'a of Baubles, snowmen, angels, Tinsel. I'm sure we have more than B & Q

I will go out this evening for a pint , and leave her to it, I will only be in the way. I will put the outside lights up tomorrow, with Santa and Sleigh

I see Shirl is up to her comments again. Watch it you !!!!. I knew what I meant. so did you. :-D :-D :-D

Fiona, So pleased you have gained a POUND. In a few month, you will be complaining that you need to loose weight <3 <3 <3.

Should know tomorrow, if we will get any help with an Electric wheelchair for ROS (NEARLY LEFT OUT THE WHEEL :-0 :-0 :-0) She wouldn't be the happiest of bunnies would she !!!
