Afternoon all,

Nice day here, really hot in the sun.

Hubby's not to bad Jane ,he's gone off to work to keep busy ,i expect we'll hear in a day or two when the funeral will be.

Better get stuck into some jobs this afternoon ,with going out for days last week i didn't do much in the house ,i did put the hoover round one day but that's about all.

Got two bites ,one on each arm last night when i went out to water ,they are driving me nuts !!! and i've put some cream on them too.
We've also had quite a few wasps in the house the last couple of days .

BBL

Morning All, Evening Kim.

Yes Ann, it can be a rise in temperature or a drop in temperature, it's because of the nerve endings in the scalp being inflamed,
all the shops have their air conditioning still on, especially the supermarkets , A/C or next to the freezer cabinets does it. or when the temp goes up outside and I'm sitting in a friends car when the sun comes through the window
mind you I'm sleeping at night so that's something to be thankful for.

Katherine's interview is sometime tomorrow, don't know what time?

sunny here, at the moment :-D :-D

We think Matteo said Mamma yesterday, but it could be he's just making sounds in his little way, :-D :-D

Morning all/Evening Kim.

I had to sign up for genes this morning as though I was a new customer. I could not get into our site for over an hour.

We has a great afternoon/evening with John He came about 4.00 and bought some beers and a bottle of Red, to go with what Ros had bought. We had a beer while dinner was finishing off in the kitchen.

The lamb was so moist and full of flavour. My roasts and parsnips were to die for. I did individual Yorkshires, and they turned out the best I have made for ages. about three inches high and full of air. I know John can eat well, so I dished him up a dinner that I couldn't even look at, let alone eat it :-D :-D :-D Ros and my dinner would have fitted on his plate. He cleared the lot. We had a break for half hour, then stuck into thre Apple pie and Vanilla custard. Another break and out came the Stilton. We sat round the table eating and drinking till way passed 9.00 pm. When he decided he would toddle off home for an early night.

Just lost two paragraphs Don't know where they went.

I was saying we are going uo to Rutland this afternoon, and staying over. So I won't be around.

Conrad goes back to Spain on Wednesday. The Villas and apartments are selling well, and they aren't built yet. Lets hope it continues.

Mel, those hogs look right little bruisers. knocking each other around like that. is it just playful ???

Glad James saw Hannah settled into her "NEW HOME" and that she will be well looked after, and comfortable. How long will it take her to get to and from work each day. ??? Please give her my love when you next speak. I have known about her for so long, I feel as though I know her <3 <3

Off to pick more beans, courgettes and cucumbers.

Hi what a palarver I have had this morning trying to get on here.

I have had to register four times , change the browser I have tried to get in here on, and just kept getting register for free come up. Filled it all in again and so on.

Morning/Evening All
Having to do this on my phone as Im locked out from my laptop.It won't accept my password.So will have to wait and see if Chris can pop home at lunch time and sort it out.

Mandy ,how is Colin this morning?I expect the shock of his Brothers death is still sinking in. :-(

It is a lovely morning washing out and Im just nipping into town.BBL

Nothing "disappears" Ann, it's there somewhere,have another look.


Night night

Oh David that made me smile......a bit close to home!! I often tell OH that something is wherever he put it. If it turns out I have moved it, I have to eat humble pie and apologise......to his delight!! :-S ;-) He isn't very good at looking though.....can't see what's under his nose sometimes. lol.

I can't find a scart lead for a DVD player we have anywhere and I know we have one!! It's so frustrating when things disappear.

Yes, I suppose he'd be half expecting to hear something about his sister Mandy, but not about his fit and well brother.

Thanks Maureen, I wasn't sure if it was the last one or not!

Fiona, is it the cold air then that makes your head worse? It must be very wearing having these headaches all the time. I hope the increased dose helps. I can't imagine you being a druggie!!!

Best wishes to Katherine on her next interview......she's done well to keep trying and to get an interview and be in with a chance!! She needs to keep her hopes up. :-) :-)

I think I will look for another e mail provider tomorrow morning Ann,my eyes are tired.

Thanks for the tip

I'd take a photo of them Maureen and put it on the thread so you could all see them.I suspect you'd perhaps be fighting over them.

With the time I was hopitalised in the RVI Ellen's done a lot of shuffling of stuff around.And with my just recenly changing my PC I cannot find the Lexmark 9c 1300 installation disc to load it on to this PC.

It's within these 4 walls,like a lot of other things.
It's where you left it is her stock answer.

Ann,hearsay rumour and gossip is usually nasty enough but to have it all detailed in court about a child.....that's horrible..... a waking nightmare.

It was a shock Ann, he was 76 but he was quite fit and healthy , hubby thought that his brother was going to say that it was his sister who had passed away( the one who had the stroke ) as she is now in a nursing home ,she doesn't know anyone any more and sleeps most of the time .
So that will be three brothers he's lost and a sister ,and that leaves hubby and his brother and two sisters ,hubby being the youngest of the family of eight .

No Maureen ,that was my sisters hubby who had the op on his knee.

Yes, very sad news Mandy, I can only imagine how your hubby must feel, I would be devastated if it were my brother. Was it the same one that had the operations earlier in the year.

Good luck to Catherine, Fiona, the more interviews she has the more likely she will be of finding a job. I'll keep my fingers crossed too.

Time will settle everything down Jane, I'm not surprised you've been having a good old cry since Hannah left, you did well to hold it in for so long.

Will we get some photos of those cute kittens David, on the other hand if I saw them I'd want them but I don't think Ellen will part with them now will she.

I think it is the last of the Mill Ann, must try and watch it tonight, I've missed a few episodes though, was on my way back from Kent last weekend and the weekend before that I was somewhere, can't remember now :-( and I like to watch Once Upon A Time at 8 and then see The Mill on 4+

Oh how sad Mandy, so sorry to hear your news. Your hubby must have been shocked at hearing that out of the blue. It was a good idea to sit on a quiet beach with your thoughts today, your hubby wouldn't have felt like doing much.

Well, I had a restless night last night thinking about the rellie I posted about last night that was attacked aged 7. You would never see information in a paper like that these days, giving a child's name, age and address!! Just imagine growing up with all the neighbours having read that about you in the paper. :-S It is amazing what detail was given about everything then though, a blow by blow account. I discovered one rellie had been fined at the Petty Sessions for not turning up for work on time!!! It gave his reasons and assurance it wouldn't happen again. Imagine nowadays if youngsters were fined for being late for work!!! Mind you, I can remember people who would lose some pay if the 'clocked in' late at a local factory, half a day's pay if they were more than half an hour late.

I have found some courgette seeds from S*ttons Seeds suitable for pots or containers ie smaller plants!! I shall try them next year. :-D

Is it the last the last in The Mill series tonight....or is there 1 more?

Evening all ,

Been another nice sunny day ,we took ourselves off to the beach this afternoon just to be quiet after hubby had some sad new that his brother died yesterday hardly anyone on the beach so we just sat and looked out to sea watching the boats and seagulls .

Apparently he was found on his bathroom floor ,they think he had slipped and hit his head on some thing ,he was taken to hospital where they found he had a bleed on the brain and he died later in the day ,they don't know how long he laid there ,he always goes to his holiday home at Mundsley on a saturday to see to the swimming pool and get the house ready for the holidaymakers going in but he never turned up and that was when they found him on the floor.

Afternoon All,

I don't have much experience of e-mail providers David, but I thought this looked quite informative and might be useful. It made me wonder whether another one might be better myself. :-)

No escape from those little kitties now then......they will follow you everywhere to play!! lol.

Mel, they were shoving each other out of the way weren't they!! I watched a recorded Wild Russia prog last night and there were the cutest little long eared hedghogs there. They are smaller and more fawn coloured with big ears. :-) It's good you were still able to ring yesterday, even minus one ringer!! I mentioned it to OH that it must be hard to do and said if weren't experienced it might sound a bit ropey. Well, that set him off chuckling away at me saying 'BELLRINGERS' and 'ROPEY' !!! lol :-)

FIL seems to be getting worse. He had (at last) got a walker when we went for the meal last week but we were surprised how slow and unsteady he seemed and he had to lift his feet into the car with his hand. OH was concerned about him managing at the match on Tuesday (he has a seat near the top of the stand) so we called in today to see how he was. He did seem much better, but they do make a lot of unecessary trips out. They'd jumped in a taxi last Wednesday to go and 'sort' out their tablets at the doctors.....no need as the surgery had already rung them and sorted it out over the phone, so it was a wasted journey anyway. Even the taxi driver told them they will have bought a taxi soon with all their trips!! We did manage to establish a few things they hadn't thought to mention, like the fact he had fallen out of bed recently and that he keeps getting a shaking in his wrist and hand!! Alarm bells were ringing with me, so we have tried to persuade them to mention these things to the doc next week when they go.......I doubt they will, MIL seemed to think it funny. :-S

I tend to open widows when the heat becomes oppressive.
The kittens and their Mother taken to going upstairs to explore or play.

If I lie on the bed to have a read or do the crossword both kittens jump up and beat the bejaysus out of each for 10 minutes then fall asleep.

I only complain if they stick their claws in me (just briefly)

Their Mothers surgical wound is clean and dry and she plays with them.

We are well into this month,soon be autumn.

I think YahEE are RRsing me about.

I had to change my e-mail address,new address and password confirmed by mobile phone.Then,when I went to use it ,it said error on page etc and I had to give them my mobile number agin.They rang back immediately with a number I had to key into the page and it told me to change my password,which I did,
It confirmed my actions etc.Now next time I went to sign in I had to go the same palaver again and change my password again. Not happy.

Can any of you recommend a secure free mail address provider?

Sounds like we could have had a good old natter in the night then Frank :-D.Hopefully we will both have a better night tonight.
Have replied to you .You are a lovely man <3

James arrived and was starving .Good job I had cooked the Beef and done the mash.I used my new Potato Ricer for the first time.(I'm impressed).So he has wolfed everything down and is now going to catch up with his friends he should have been seeing this morning.I feel happier now knowing Hannah is with friends.James lugged her cases up to her bedroom and said it is a lovely room and a really nice house.Gareth (Caroline's OH ) was busy cooking Chilli con Carne.I think they were getting ready to get some food into Hannah lol

Well it seems to be getting hotter here.(phew).I have the FAN ON.
Mel I never have a problem with TV blaring.Chris never watches it.Just occasionally if something takes his fancy...Then it is usually something I don't want to see :-S.
Just going to have a quick flick with the duster before Janice and Larry get here.Not that they would give two hoots to see my dusty house :-D.This last week cleaning has gone to the back of the line lol

Fiona I hope the extra 10mg helps with your poor head. Must be misery to have that all the time.

All full up now after our big breakfast which will keep us going for the rest of the day. Been sunny all morning so after washing my hair etc I put the towels in for a boil wash hoping to get them dry. They are just on their last spin and the clouds have come over!! :-0

Telly blaring out here too Frank. Oh has gone outside but left it on as he always does. I don't like it on all the time either and this morning was lovely and quiet while he was out.
