General Chat

Ann, the pages are great,I love the black and white ones quite dramatic, are the leaves real or fake, I would love some , leaves are a lovely adornment.
you are so lucky being able to get to such lovely places, we have to drive miles to find anything like westonbrit... thanks for sending them....

I think Sallie might be very busy with her scrap book, I believe she had to get it finished by a certain date for a birthday. However, I hope that is the reason we have not seen her and that she is OK.

Jean, just sent you 2 pages of the scrap book of Westonbirt.

Mo enjoy the darts, like watching grass grow to me I'm afraid but then I can't play. And Celebrity Ooooh no!!! can't bear it. Isn't it strange how we all like such different programmes. I suppose just as well or we'd only have one channel to watch!!!

Just realised that Country file is on at 6pm not 7 this evening, been bumped for Dr Who.

Hi everybody.
I am in my element, ITV 4 is showing the darts,now thats just my cup of tea.
And tonights the night for "I'm a celebrity get me out of here", I know I know
how sad am I,but I must be a sadist as I love to see the challenges,that they have to do. Especially the eating ones,yuk. I watch through my fingers,heaving my stomach up.
I have to go upstairs and watch it on the T.V up there,as Roly will not watch it.
He says that I would be more entertained,if I used his binoculars and watched the neighbours.
Oh can you imagine it,someone would call the police,and I would be arrested as a peeping tom. LOL
I hope you are all well. I am getting a bit concerned,as we have not heard from Sallie in a while.I hope she is o.k. If we have no news of her by tommorrow,I will pm her.
Enjoy xfactor tonight Ann.
Love to you all. Mo xxx

Oh, never thought of that Ann, I will get J to look at our cover, thanks for that...

Is it covered by your house insurance if it was worth a bit?

Ann, cant be mended, its a large figure and the head is broken now a piece is missing, think it might be in the vac, which has had the bag emptied, so looks like its gone.... not too worry its not that importent, and there is always more to choose from... nice excuse to buy another one...lol...

Love Jean xx

Mo I am sure the public vote for their favourite, otherwise Zoe would not have gone out before Phil or Ricky Groves.

Jean, how annoying to break you Lladro ornament, they are not cheap either. Can it be mended so you can still look at it? I am not minimilist either, love ornaments around me, drives T mad!!! He wont dust, leaves that to me.

Good morning People, on this rather wet Sunday, hope you are all well, we managed to get the front room cleaned took us most of the day, the dust was unbelieveable , I managed to knock the head off on of my Lladro figures whilst dusting....grrrrr...... D says serves me right for buying so many things that need dusting !! when I am no longer here she will get rid of them I think. she is more minilist than me ,I love having things to look at....

Just sending a wave and hugs to our Marilyn, sunning herself in a foreign land ...(.makes you sick dont it).....no seriously petal, have a good rest and enjoy....

Huia and Marie hope all is well with you both, are you having your summer now or have I got it wrong ....


Mo, I have mailed you...

love and hugs to Ann, Liz, Debbie Sallie, Grace .Sue... hope i havent forgot anyone....

love Jean xx

It's been such a shame to see some very good dancers go out Ann.
Surely the public,are not so narrow minded that they vote for their favourite
star,rather than judge their dancing. But perhaps they do,who knows.
But we will never know thats for sure. I do agree,that it seems to be fixed.

Mo, thanks, I just put the thread up then tried to monitor it to keep it friendly (ish) But I had to leave them to play while I was watching strictly and the last bit of the X Factor.

I was not at all surprised that Leila got through but did wonder if there was any fixing going on!!!

Huia,our t.v is on,and my OH is watching it,so it's background noise. But I tend watch it out of the corner of my eye,if it's something I am interested in.
And as I love dancing,I like to make comparisons,and imagine it's me up there dancing. As if. LOL

MO, thats all right, we have had Dancing with the Stars over here so I know what it is about. I cant say I watched much of it, I didnt watch a lot of TV while I had Phil to look after (apart from the news and, of course, Coro St!) and I dont seem to watch a lot now, I am losing interest. I would sooner be on here.

Huia.

Hello everybody.
I have been following Ann's thread,wow hot stuff Ann.
What has your day been like today. It's been shocking here,yet again.
We got blown to bits this morning,whilst shopping. I was so glad to get home.
Who's been watching strictly come dancing then. I see Anton Dubeck and his partner got the sympathy vote.
What are your opinions on the voting.
Sorry Marie and Huia,this a programme being shown over here at the moment.
Will do catch up on X Factor tommorrow.
Hi Jean,are you nearly straight yet.
Oh Oh lottery time. See you later. Love Moxxx

The cards are lovely Jean, well done.

Sallie just mailed you, have a peep....


love Jean x

Welcome back Jean, wow, 50 cards, well done. Glad the kitchen is finished, hope the cleaning, washing stuff doesn't take too long.

Oooooooh Jeanieee you are back hooray.
We have missed you soooo much.
I am glad the weather wasn't as bad as I had suspected it to be.
Do you feel relaxed now. Apart from doing the clearing up,after the workmen.
It amazes me,how they can make mistakes on such things as door handles,because you chose them yourselves,and that should have been written down.
It's surprising how the dust collects isn't it.
Anyway,I will let you get on now. Speak to you again soon.
Love to you and J. Mo xxx

Hello everyone, we came back early this morning, we didnt have much rain except for one Sunday it teemed down, it is a temperate climate so never too bad, , I was glad I took the card stuff, managed to make about 50 cards, not that I send that many I just got carried away, and came across a fairly new Craft store , it is amazing, quite big, and selling bulk packs of card and papers, loads of scrapbook stuff,hundreds of peel offs, it was great. and available on line too.....
the kitchen is finally finished, well nearly, still having to paint the walls, we have spent all day, cleaning every last thing,there was dust in every room !!!
we had phone calls every day from D and she sent pictures, all sorts of things went wrong, they sent the wrong handles, no underneath lights, many little silly mistakes, but all sorted, the worst part is washing all the stuff ready to go back in the units, but it is looking nice J cant get used to it, we had wood ones before, now they are cream..... the inner fitments are marvellous, just right for D and I, to use very disable friendly, ....

so how are things with all of you.I read some of the previous pages and you all seem to be busy as usual. I did miss you , and would have loved to chat with you all. still better late than never...I am going to have something to eat now so will chat later,

much love Jean xx

Hello folks,how are we all today.
Marie,it's lovely to hear from you.
I wish you could send some of your warmth over to us,it's really wet and windy at this end of the world.
There has been a lot of flooding here in Kent,but fortunately not where we
live.
It must be so awful for all the poor people that get flooded out,on a regular basis.
We have a village near to us,called Yalding,and it is built on a flood plain.
And every time we have heavy rain,the river overflows.
It will be nice to hear from you,on a regular basis. And now that most of the exams have been completed,you will be a lady of leisure again.
Hello Sallie,Ann,Huia,Liz,Debbie,Marilyn and all our friends on here.
Love and best wishes. Mo xxx

Hello Marie, good to see you. Pleased that the exams are almost finished. then you can start on Christmas.

To those of you who have a 'clutter' problem in your house. Take a look at Daff's thread and the first post from Blue Moon. It is hilarious and now has pride of place in my kitchen!!!
