You love it the fun ------have a lovely day Nanny Dea


Renes

Have fun Dea.
And Happy birthday to little one.

I did enjoy hiding in the ball pool and going down the high speed slide last week.
All things I did not think I would be doing again.
I am constantly amazed at the speed A....... learns things and she is so polite.

WWow Cynths,

It is too late for me to get my head around that !!

A 37 year old son who is already a 'step grandad' !! ???

My son is just about that age and I can't imagine him as a grandad !!

I will think about it in the morning 'over breakfast' !! - Huevos rancheros (heaven!!)

Nite nite all,

Dea x

Happy birthday to your grandson Dea.....2 is a lovely age....when they don't live with you!! Make sure you are out of his line of sight when he revs that car up!

My step gt.grandson was 2 a couple of weeks ago.....his brother was 1last week ......fortunately, I am now one step removed and there are two sets of grandparents to call on .....and, before you say anything Ginnikins........I did say 'step' gt. grandchildren and my son who is now 37 is the step grandad. So I am not 97 years of age as you seem to think.......


Okay, you don't do choccy, you don't do 'things which have had faces', etc.etc. yet you do fags and vino.......sigh...I give up. You're a lost cause so you are.

My little grandson is 2 tomorrow - Happy birthday to him, happy birthday to him...........

He is a big strong boy and doesn't know the meaning of 'play gently'!!

He has a hammer and a saw and a drill and he uses them on his house, his sister and anything else that stands still so we have bought him a 'Roary the racing car' which can fly up a ramp and crash into a wall and demolish it !! - He will LOVE it !!!

Going to his 'tea and cake party tomorrow' - Joy !!...

No no no...Cyn

Sylvs needs to come here and do the 'Ecclesall Road' run...wine bars and eating places of all sorts, just down the road to me

Dont do Choccy....and 'Lindt' is half the price here in the UK

Welcome back ...... whatsyername. Must go and get some paracetamol at the ready.

How did you learn to drink sensibly? You must know how to hold a glass by now girl!!



Had a pm from someone who has found freds...! So tempted to ask Fred's what....but wouldn't be so cruel.



If she's brought us a prezzie back Irene, then that'll be a miracle!


OH has just appeared at my side bearing a large box of Ferrero Rocher chocs.....mmmm.....would anyone like one??? He's a good'un....when he behaves!
Sylvs...don't envy you the kitchen job.......I'll nip over and pick you up and you can stay a couple of nights whilst the work is ongoing. We could do a coffee shop trail....how's that sound??

Talking about expensive drinks brought back a memory for me of a holiday in Tunisia (We now call it Too bl**dy nisia !!) - We HATED it !!

One thing was, there was a horrible flue type bug which everyone seemed to catch, each day more of our group developed 'the cough' - many people were going for daily injections of antibiotics - not for me as the place was SO dirty I suspect they would use rusty needles. - I bought some in tablet form from the local chemist but still came home with pleurisy!!

Anyway, one day, we came back from a jeep trip through the desert and I was so 'shivery' cold that I wanted to have a brandy to help warm me up!!

Of course, it is a 'non'drinking' Country and we asked at the bar - 'no problem for tourists in hotels' - it cost about £12 each for 2 brandies - each glass contained about 2 teaspoons full!! - What a rip-off !!

I always say, and I REALLY mean it - If I won a luxury 2 week holiday in Tunisia, I would tell them to give it to someone else!!

Never again!!

Renes

I has brought ME back!

Food................about £21 for one pizza (for one person) in the town centre and that was a 'cheap' place, so you can imagine what 'real' food cost

Lucky we had family and friends cooking for us in the evening...

Gins

With the prices in Switzerland - bet it would have cost a bob or two for a "whacking big " glass

So good job


When do we know what prezzies you have bought back for us !!!



Renes

Cheers Dea Dea

It's nice to be back.....but not the weather!

Had a fab time, learned to drink sensible too....oh no, a tiny glass of wine with dinner and not a whacking big one :(

Most of all, had a fab laugh from start to finish...which started with moms passport photo.....she is now known as the alien from planet Krypton

Lovely to have you back Ginny,

Hope you had a lovely time!

Dea x

P.S. LK - I REALLY laughed out loud at that joke about converting the bear !!

Going to show it to my husband - you never know, he might just 'get it' ?? - Will let you know.

Hello friends....Sylv, when we left Liverpool we did go to duty free but at the Swiss side....nope, not a chance

Jules, you stay stopped....if that makes sense

And as for you Renes....been good my a#se ;)

Kitchen underway then Sylv.....when are you coming over here for a 'knees up' then???

Hi all

welcome back Gins


interesting to know that assisted passage doesn't allow one to go to duty-free.


Robert's breakfast sound wonderful ................... back to croissants etc next week!


almost ready to start demolishing the kitchen

........ have signed contract for plumber

....... bottom cabinets and counters being built (just having doors replaced on the upper cabinets

........ out this weekend to choose lino

........ OH is planning to empty cupboards, and possibly beginning to demolish lower cabinets this weekend








HHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP

Good to see you back

£2 a pack for B&H...wish i hadn't packed it up now lolol

Ginny


Just to say - Ginny darlin - I have been a saint whilst you have been away - an absolute saint -


And we had rain today - and more promised for tomorrow


Hurrah


Renes

OMG (just for Cyn).....'Oh My God'

Tracey has a new name, Robert has retired and the rest of you are even more stupid than before I left for a week

I am now on an English keyboard and sat at home all snug and TIRED

Delayed last night due to the French air traffic controllers on strike...not like the French to strike!

And, because we got assisted passage for mom (IL) we couldnt get through to the duty free.........GUTTED

Fags were £2.00 per pack for B&H which is nearly £4.00 cheaper than here

Anyway got back to Wales at 2.00am this morning, had a kip and came home this afternoon...had another kip

So, your break from me is well and truly over....... crash helmets and blast pants at the ready!



.........it's good to be back ;)

And another

A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand.



He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not from the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes to the head abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first copy, it would never be picked up! In fact, that error would be continued in all of the subsequent copies.




The head monk, says, "We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son."



He goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery

where the original manuscripts are held as archives in a locked

vault that hasn't been opened for hundreds of years.

Hours go by and nobody sees the old abbot.


So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him. He sees him banging his head against the wall and wailing.

"We missed the R !

We missed the R !

We missed the R !"


His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably.

The young monk asks the old abbot, "What's wrong, father?"

With A choking voice, the old abbot replies,



"The word was...





CELEBRATE!!!"

lunchtime lookin

Whilst discussing forthcoming papal visit with OH and Tracey's stab vest he told me this joke.

Made me think of Sylvia so here goes.


THREE HOLY MEN AND A BEAR

A Priest, a Pentecostal Preacher, and a Rabbi all served as Chaplains to the students of Northern Michigan University in Marquette.. They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and talk shop.

One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn’t really all that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One thing led to another and they decided to do an experiment. They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it.

Seven days later, they're all together to discuss their experience.

Father Flannery, who has his arm in a sling, is on crutches, and has various bandages on his body and limbs, goes first. "Well," he says, "I went into the woods to find a bear.
And when I found him I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle as a lamb. The Bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion.

Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, with an IV drip in his arm, and both legs in casts. In his best fire and brimstone oratory he claimed, "WELL, brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me.

So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN, another until we came to a creek. So I quickly DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus."

The Priest and the Reverend both looked at the Rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IV's and monitors running in and out of him. He was in really bad shape.

The Rabbi looks up and says,
"You know, looking back on it, Circumcision may not have been the best way to start!"
