I thought it was that last night Jackie , but was so excited with my hot match and mailing the GR member I didn't answer it.
I've gone back another generation on my fathers side, found my Gt gt gt grandparents, who moved to S. Wales to work in the Iron works in the village where I was brought up.
Clydach Iron works ( remains ) are quite a well known historical site, within the Welsh culture.
Sadly he died at the Iron works ( according to this GR member ) boy he's done his home work ,he has all certificate references on all our mutual relations. His tree is huge !

Jackie I was playing with Google Earth last night and I found my parents house that went to my half sister under questionable circumstances when my mother died.The house had 2 semi trailers and 3 smaller tradesman's vehicles in the yard, Google maps showed another view that it is now a plastering business. I was very upset,the only reason I did not contest my half sister's claim was on condition she live there and not sell it,now it seems she sold it for a large sum 4 years ago and has vanished.
It goes without saying we have not been in contact since Mum's funeral but she always knew where we were.
Sorry I needed to tell somebody I feel better now.

Do you think my answer to Diane's was correct Daff?
If so I will put another question up

Daff
That will be hard to trace now I suppose. Have you ever checked the Voting lists.
Hubby lost track of an old buddie of his and we had no idea where he lived.
I checked the English voting lists and found him after hubby not being in touch for 40 years.
Just a thought if you know the area.
I am trying to remember how I got them in the search engine online it just won't come to me as it was a while ago

Hi Sandie and Shimms,
Everyone sounds busy today.I just found an old address book with phone numbers of cousins I lost track of ages ago when my mother died.You will not be surprised to know none of them live there anymore and the people there have no idea where they went.

Sandy just realized you asked if it was just one performance.
No we have every Friday night and every other Sunday performing until the end of June 11 Performances altogether

HI Shimms and Sandie
Next Friday is opening night we have a full house booked.
We have Dress Rehearsals tomorrow then Reharsals Monday and Wednesday nights so a real busy week. I have to visit brother on Monday and down the Salon Tuesday, shopping Wednesday. Won't have time to scratch myself this week lol

Yes 20,000 is a great acheivemnet for a thread

SHIMMS
How is your mop holding up lol?
I have a real thing about mops. I only use cotton mops and they have to be spotless. I hate dirty mops. When I was a cleaning supervisor I drove my cleaners insane as I made sure they were all spotless. I used to say to them a clean mop will leave your floor clean a dirty mop will just spread the dirt. I made them bleach them regularly.

Hi Jackie and Daphne ~~ ~~
and any one else about ~~ ~~~

Hope you're well folks :))

You are going to be busy in the next couple of days Jackie !!
When is the show ? Is it just one performance or more ? Hope your foot is or will be 100% by then :)

Been grocery shopping this morning...I hate it on a Saturday, it's like a bun fight.
Probably popping to the cemetery later on, it will be 5 yrs tomorrow that my dad passed away.

Hi Daff
Sorry didn't think anyone was around so went looking at something else.

Yes it's a bit chaotic at the moment. Once the shows start it will settle down a bit for me. So many Rehearsals at the moment so not much ME time I'm afraid. I have also been helping down the Salon today setting up rooms and answering the phones as they are flat out. I came home and was exhausted lol. I feel a little better now I have had a shower, my dinner and a glass of wine lol


How are you today Daff?

Hi Everyone
Hope you are all having a good day
Busy time for me at the moment so may not be around too late tonight and probably not on tomorrow as we have Dress Rehearsals and it usually goes for about 7-8 hours. I will probably be too tired to be bothered when I get home. Monday we will also have Rehearsals so may not see me until Tuesday after tonight. See how I feel when I get back home.
