Morning/Evening All
I can't get going this morning and just feel like creeping back to bed .But I won't :-D.
You know the feeling when you wake up feeling exhausted ,that is how I feel .Just cream crackered.
I have the hairdressers this afternoon at 3 :-D.Can't wait for that.

It's a funny old morning.Overcast the occasional spot of rain and very close.So it is shorts for me again this morning.I think I will crack on with the patio weeding .That might help me wake up.

The site seems to be on a go slow again.Looks like some people have had enough :-S

Morning All and Evening Kim,

Nice bright and sunny day here so far, hope it keeps up! :-D :-D

Well they hav'nt arrived yet and we were expecting them early.

Must try and water the tunnel now as I won't get a chance later.

BBL I hope

Just been hedgehog watching. WE had two at one bowl so it was quite interesting and we had had one down the bottom of the back garden earlier. Then we heard one round the back of the decking. I think that one was the one I found in oh's garage as it had a sort of cough.

Evening All,

So sorry to hear about Martine Frank, what a shock for everyone. I hope it was a mild one and that she makes a quick recovery. Thanks for mentioning ' The Wheatsheaf'. OH is always saying we should try different places and there are some lovely country pubs out that way.

Jane, not another leak!! :-S It sounds like the pipe from the drain from the shower may have come loose. Can you remove the cover around the base to have a look? I hope it isn't water pipes again! I don't seem to have got your Robin Pic?

Mandy, that was adding insult to injury over your hubby's tablets wasn' it. I hope you didn't have to travel far. They really need to take more care as it could be very dangerous giving out the wrong tablets.

We popped to the garden centre at the next village for lunch, all home made and nicely cooked. They know us well there now. If I ask what something comes with, the answer is 'what would you like?' ;-) We both had chicken and mushroom pie and she does us a big dish of mixed veg as she knows I only have maybe 1 potato. OH polishes the rest off!! Then we had her apple and pear crumble with custard.....all very nice. While we sat there I told OH I kept getting a sharp pain at the end of my thumb. Without even looking up he said, 'that will be from me trying to get from under it!!!' I had to laugh, the cheeky beggar!!! lol. After we had read the papers, we went to Boundary Mill at Grantham. They had a fantastic sale on, particularly of good dresses, some over £90 ones reduced to under £20......if only I was slim enough!! :-S We did get a nice duvet and curtain set at half price which was a good saving, so I was chuffed with that. I also got some jewellery bits and bobs too.....they were 70% off!! Now OH has gone to a match close by.

William, they are lovely little children. I can just picture Maggie doing the rounds to check who was 'going'.

I'm not looking forward to my dentist appointment in the morning.......I think the two loose back teeth will be going, but maybe at another appointment!! :-S I can't chew on them as they wobble and hurt and one has moved sideways so they aren't much use now. :-0

Well and truely worn out..........................

Oh cleaned the kitchen windows for me inside and out today too Frank so us girls are very pleased with our hubbies today. He also cleaned all the caravan windows inside and out. I have cleaned the kitchen bathroom hall and bedroom and hav'nt got anything out for dinner so we are going to have egg and bacon sandwiches.

Jane it will be good for Hannah to have a few days away with her girlfriends. I hope she is feeling a bit better now but I know it must be very hard for her to come to terms with the breakup. He seemed such a nice boy.....................just shows you you can never really tell until you live with someone.

Frank that was very lucky with the mirror!! :-S :-S :-S :-S You must put it on some of that wire stuff for hanging pictures or get it screwed to the wall. It could have been nasty it it had fallen whilst Ros was cleaning it.

We have had a very hot and sticky day here today but it clouded over about 7pm and we had a short sharp shower.

Company arrives tomorrow and I think it could be quite early when they arrive.

Hello everyone,

Been a lovely day here, very cloudy at first but muggy and then about 11 this morning it started to rain, but only a light shower, then about 3 this afternoon the sun came out and it was lovely and warm, so it was a quick change from the jeans and into a light top and linen trousers and straight under the brolly to read my book.

Katherine went into Glasgow at 3 this afternoon wanted to look around the shops till her interview which was at 3.45, she said the lady was really nice and her appointment was the last one for that day which was good means whatever was said would be remembered after, so here's keeping she gets a second interview will hopefully know on Friday or next Monday at the latest. :-) :-)

David it is not only the skirting but floorboards too :-S :-S.Chris said he will have a look !!!!!!!!.But to be honest I don't have a lot of faith in him being able to sort out this problem.I think it wlll be yet another insurance job :-S.
David have you changed your email address?Can you let me know please.

Frank ,NO NOT THIS MONTH.He finishes on the 20th September.I have a months grace :-D :-D.But is coming around very quickly now !!!
I know this do with the girls is likely to be quite a boozy affair lol.As he says they do like a party.He is going to pay for the bar!!!!!!!.He asked me how much did I think was a reasonable amount........I suggested he takes out a loan :-D :-D :-D.I'm sure it will be a lovely evening :-D

I'm swanning around in that Maxi dress I bought a few weeks ago.I never did get it shortened.But it's fine for at home.James did a double take when he saw me earlier.The last time he saw me in a dress was 2 years ago at a wedding we went to.


Hannah just called.She is ok,and just holding it together.Totally exhausted though which is understandable.She will be coming home on Friday for the Bank Holiday.
She needs to go back to the flat for a night or two to sort some of her things,so John will have to go and stay with a friend while she does that.
I think we will be having a little trip to Primar* in Corby on Saturday so she can get some Flip Flops and a Bikini for her mini break with her girlfriends to Barcelona at the end of next week..Hopefully that will be a good break for her,leaving all the worries behind for 3 nights.(sorry if I have already said this).I have lost track :-S
James is off next week for the Greek holiday with Jess...Whoopee house to ourselves again for nearly a fortnight :-D :-D

Before you get that rotten water damaged skirting board fixed see if a repair would be permissable through your insurance.
Some companies might say they already settled water damage etc last time.

Very overcast here but no rain.

oops I see on Announcements GR have apologised for the slowness of the site and it is being worked on but still haven't worked out the problem ! Someone on another thread suggested they shut the site down for a few days and get the experts in.Sounds a good idea to me :-D

Mandy I hope whoever gave those pills to someone has been hauled over the coals.It is unacceptable for something like that to happen.
Yes I'm not sure how Chris will feel with this big do.He hates being the centre of attention and also will probably have to do some kind of speech :-S :-S.I have a feeling there will be lots of tears too from the girls.They are obviously very fond of Chris as they have not done this before for another Dr.Normally it would be a meal out with the Partners and wives and Practice Manager.I expect that will happen too .

Heavens Frank that must have given you a fright when the mirror slipped like that :-0
We forget these bits of string holding up heavy pictures and mirrors.They are there for years and gradually wearing thin.Sounds like it was a lucky thing you were both there when it happened :-D

I still haven't done the beans and carrots :-S :-S.I ended up doing some ironing,and am now being friends with the big fan :-D

NORTH WALSHAM, was where I was in the RAF. I did go there a few years ago when Conrad worked at Heacham selling holiday homes (caravans). That's where the lavender fields are.

Well dinner all sorted. PORK shoulder steaks, Roasts, Runners, peas and carrots. and my special sauce of onions, mushrooms, garlic and cream. Makes a change from gravy. If Chris needs any help with all those girls, tell him to give me a call ;-) ;-) ;-) Is it the end of this month, that you have him round your feet, every day ???
I bet you are looking forward to that :-( :-( :-( :-( :-P :-P :-P :-P Just think of all the jobs you can find him to do. !!!

Mandy, I would be incline to write to Boo#'s head office in Nottingham over these tablets being given to the wrong person. Heads will roll as they say ~!!

The girls are back, so I will be off, see you later.

Sorry to hear that Frank, what a shock for you both , has she had any heart trouble before ?
What luck with the mirror ,hanging by a thread !! you would have had a nasty mess if it had fallen !! and seven years bad luck don't they say !!

Oh poor Chris i don't suppose he wants much fuss :-S :-D all those ladies :-D :-D

I think North Walsham is about 25 miles from us and about 8 miles to the coast ,he's picked a good couple of days to come, the weather should be good.

It was bad of B*ots, hubby has strong pain killers imagine if they had got into the wrong hands !!

Turkeys all cooked and in the fridge , jacket potatoes for tonight then hubby can have some turkey with them and a bit of salad ,nice and easy .

Oh Frank.What a shock .I hope Martine recovers from her Heart Attack and that any treatment she needs will do the trick so she will be on the road to recovery very soon.

It is so hot outside I can't stay out there.I was doing the patio with the electric weeder but the sun was so strong on my back and shoulders I had to give up.So I picked some beans and pulled some carrots and now I will get them done ready for later.

Fitz has taken himself off to Norfolk for a couple of nights.He is staying at North Walsham. I think that is near you isn't it Mandy.He decided to do it this week as he is having an operation to straighten his little fingers soon and probably wont be able to drive for some time.At least he is going to get some decent weather now :-D

One of the girls from Chris's surgery rang this morning as they are planning a leaving do for him.She wanted to know if it would be alright for the actual day he finishes work and what kind of food does he like.This is all the all the girls who are the Nurses,Receptionists etc Not the Partners.I think there are over 30 of them and Chris will be the only Man !!!!!!!!.Poor old thing :-D

Mandy that is really bad of Boo**.Especially giving OH's Meds to someone else.Imagine how dangerous that could be :-S :-S :-S.

Off to get these beans and carrots done so lets see if I get back here later.It is getting ridiculous now and no explanations from GR.I would have thought it would be polite of them to put a Thread up about all the problems .

I was going to say this morning.

MARTINE Ros's friend had a heart attack last night and is in ICU. Going for various tests today to see how bad it was. Will know more tonight.

Sitting in the lounge last night, and the big mirror oven the fireplace decided to drop SIX INCHES the heave twine had broke, but fortunately one strand held, to save the whole thing crashing down on the clock and ornaments . That would have been a mess. I managed to lift it off the wall with Ros's help and put it on the floor. Will now get some heave duty wire to attach to it, before re-hanging.

Have cut both lawns, and had the sprinkler on the front. The front windows got soaked, so had to squeeze those off. I did the patio as well, with the same result. So she has the windows cleaned as well. Will do the back lawn later when the sun's off of it.

I see we are all having trouble with the site. We also are having to put up with all these COOKIES. I for one don't want them, but what can we do. ???

Had a nice lunch yesterday at the "WHEATSHEAF" round the corner from Conrad's. Their hanging baskets look a treat, full of bloom and looking very healthy.
If you are that way Ann, I can recommend their food.

What's the news,??? anything happening I should know about. ;-) ;-) ;-) Nosey old sod, aren't I. Don't answer that one !!!

All doors and windows open. Neighbour on hit patio stinking the place out with his FAGS, and coughing his heart up.

Sods LAW, I got on here first time, and lost my post !!!

They're given lots of room.

Would you sit next to some one on a bus or stand next to some one in a shop who was scrathing,first one place then another?

Morning everyone,

Another sunny one ,getting some jobs done this morning so i can have a sit in the garden this afternoon ,i have a big turkey cooking ,thought i'd better get it out of the freezer it was one that went in the freezer at christmas ,have the family coming for tea tomorrow so we'll be able to have it cold plenty to go round and they'll be able to take some home with them too.

I tried to post yesterday but lost the lot and gave up !!

The tea party sounds fun Ruby ,will look forward to seeing you and the ladies all dressed up and your hats :-D
I think i would cook the scones before freezing ,you might not get a good rise on them if you freeze before cooking .

Hows the flea situation David ,been getting the flea powers out !! why is it you always want to scratch when fleas are mentioned !! :-D :-S

We had a card through the letter box saying the postman couldn't deliver a letter as the sender hadn't paid enough money , when i went to get it it was hubby's report and prescription from Bo*ts .......so not only did they let some one else have hubby's tablets and prescription but we had to pay to get it back !!!!!
Went in and gave them a piece of my mind i can tell you !! and got my money back too.

Nice photo of your Tatty Robin Jane :-D you got a lovely close up there .

Nice baskets at the pub too Ann, we have some nice flowers in the town in big tubs and hanging baskets .
