Dea Xxx

They are both old enough to be Dad and Grandfather



This area, where we live is going down the nick......party, with live band


Glad my boys arent in bed :-( :-D

Dennis - Waterman ????

Dea Xxx

't was the other one I liked but I can't remember his name !!!

Dea Xxx

Awww.......he's up here, to use the internet!


And tomorrow for a roast lunch with his brother....think I'll nick Sylvs,, much better than mine!

I was a little kid when the sweeney was on tv, but I remember my dad liked it. It might have been on too late for me

.........but I have seen re runs LOVE it and John Thaw

I guess you're too young (haha) to remember the original Sweeney programme Gins. I always thought John Thaw was sooooooooooooo attractive. I think I like craggy men!


I told my OH about your success Sylvs and he was very impressed!


Having done my homework, I trailed off with daughter and she bought her new tv. Mind you, the salesman tried to sell us everything other gizmo which could accompany it of course!


Dea, I always look at the customer reviews on Amazon too..... :-D


Ah well, it's Chinese meal night. :-D :-D

Just come back from watching The Sweeny at the cinema

...........loads of car chases, shootings and scraps, brilliant! All led by two of fav men, Ben Drew and Ray Winstone


Im such a 'boy'

Sylvia I also hate sewing up knitting. The last cardie I did took me 5 weeks before I forced myself to do it luckily it still fitted her cos she had taken a stretch.

OH is going to footie today and I have the joy of shortening about 4 pairs of trousers he wants to take on holiday :-(

I keep threatening to "stretch" his legs hate altering trousers :-(

Knitting :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0

Mornin all~~~~~~~~~~


Sunny and blue sky today :-D

Nite nite Sylvia.

I always used to look thing up in Which Reports Cynthia but I do not find it very helpful nowadays and often found that the product I was considering had not yet been reviewed by them!

Now, I always look on the Amazon site and read all the Customer reviews - there are usually quite a lot of them and you can get a good 'feel' for whether the product has any problems or not and details of it's quality and performance.

Dea Xxx

it's after 12:30 am



so I think I'd better go to bed :-D



night night everyone

Re knitting .....................


I love knitting


I hate sewing up



so I have quite a number of items where all the knitting is finished, but not the joining up!



Our neighbour had their second child yesterday (Thursday) ..................a 7lb baby girl.


So, I shall look and see which one of about 5 un-sewn up jackets can be completed!


I don't knit layettes or first sizes .................... babies grow out of those too quickly! But I know I have at least 3 suitable in 2nd size, and a couple in the next size up :-D

Cyn ......

............. I was surprised how easy it was. It made very little change to our regular routine and diet, after the first couple of days as we got used to it.

It took a bit longer shopping at first when we were reading labels to see how much sugar was in A vs B .................. but once we'd found a suitable bread, salad dressing, etc, shopping also speeded up. I didn't have to change my cereal.

OR I could cook bacon and eggs, with toast, every day for breakfast, if I wanted ....... it's allowed!! No ad diabetic stuff in those ............. but the cholestrol level has to be watched!

As you know, OH does most of the cooking ................. I just reduced the amount of meat or fish that he gave me, only had equivalent of about half a small potato, and added some extra veggies to my plate in the form of little tiny baby carrots (raw), and red, yellow and/or orange sweet peppers.

I think cutting out all added sugar (in tea, coffee,etc), and buying foods that had the least amount of sugar in them was the major key to it.

I think I'm actually eating more food than before, by the time I've had the 3 smaller meals, plus 3 snacks.



Hope your OH can do the same as me <3

Thank you both xxx


I've also lost about 16 lbs in weight since about June 15th :-D :-D


both the doctor and the pharmacist were very pleased with that. :-)

Very pleased to hear that Sylvia - I will let OH know that it CAN be done... <3


Thank you for breakfast.......it looks good enough to eat. :-D



Daughter's tv has packed up so I have been scouring the net looking at possibilities. I took out a month's subscription to Which to help me make some suggestions. May just browse through the fridge-freezer section too...... ;-)


Don't wander too far Dea, we need you back here to keep us in order <3

You did very well with that diet Sylvia - glad your results were all O.K. !

Dea Xxx
