Thanks Gins...yes, that's the one I think. I just can't make out which soldier he is:(


I'm sure you'll be thoroughly spoiled tomorrow Dea.....hope so....you deserve it xx

Aw....but you love him

1 day in the dog house ginns ????

it was only in the last century that people got 3 months hard labour for stealing a handkerchief - if you could have seen my poor tree i am sure that you would think the punishment should be many times that !!!!! :-(

anyway - it is our 43rd wedding anniversary tomorrow so i suppose i will have to forgive him by then - he had better buy me some lovely flowers - that is all i can say ;-) :-D :-D

Sounds like your OH was in the dog house after that episode Dea........ oooops!!


Can I please ask another favour?

Thought I had finished my soldiers and realised that I had forgotten about one
Herbert Baker. Have found a possible living in Wigan but can't attach him to any of the war dead.

It's possibly Herbert Baker born 1887 in Hindley - parents James and Elizabeth - and I've accounted for most of the soldiers with that name...... :(

If anyone has a minute to check for me, I would be so grateful. Thanks.

oh no !!!!!! - not another surgeon !!!!!

we have a very lovely tree in our front garden which i have nurtured since it was a tiny sapling over 30 years ago. - it is the prettiest around and admired by everyone, - or it was !!!!!

we like to keep it pruned lightly, especially on the one side where it overhangs my neighbours driveway and, usually i direct my hubby as to where to cut to keep a good shape.

however, he obviously decided to tackle it while i was at the hospital on monday.

i didn't notice when i got home but when i saw it yesterday it was straight up and thin on one side and the other side was fat and had a huge bare hole in it and tall spiky bits at the top and................ well, i think you get the picture !!!!!

i had to call in a tree surgeon to sort it out....... :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

it cost a fortune but at least it might recover now.

he has had to cut loads off to get it into some sort of shape but at least it is now presentable ;-) :-D :-D

i do hate to see 'shaped' trees so i hope it recovers quickly !!!

Yum.........cheese toasty :-)

I have a few of the boys, they are stunning but very expensive.......worth it to capture their childhood though

i am sure they are beautifull linds ;-) :-D

i have some of my grandchildren which are really wonderful too, the photographer has really managed to capture their personalities somehow.

now to breakfast............. full english, cheesie toasties, croissants and danish pastries to follw.

enjoy...........

We took the girls to the photographer today.

I am pleased with the photos F first professional photo.

They looked so cute - not that I am in any way biased ;-)

i should hope not ginns ;-)

dea xxx

Fingers crossed Dea (no pun intended)

Take it easy and rest

not too bad thank you ginns - i have managed to re-design the sling which they put on me so that it doesn't strangle me now and keeps my hand up as it should do.

taking all the pain killers - they will re-dress in 1 week and then back to the plastic sugeons 2 weeks later for the biopsy results and to plan what comes next.

glad you got the letter sorted - good luck with that,

Sorted the letter, had some help from friend who is also a lecturer :-)

It's so long since I did one and academic letters are very different from others :-\

Hope you all had a nice day

Dea, how are you feeling <3

Morning,

Dea hope your finger is feeling better <3

Gins hope you get that letter done today.

Cynthia glad you passed your MOT ;-)

We have the girls today and J has his annual diabetic eye test.

hi cynths,

i have just this very second sent you a pm to say that i have put ibnfo on here about joseph - do you think it might be him

glad to see your nurse is so pleased with you - keep up the good work.

Good morning... :-D


I'm going to nick a bite of Dea's bacon butty........munch.....thank you dearest Dea. ;-)


You lot sound busy......Gins needs proper specs, she'll be using hair lacquer instead of deodorant at this rate....haahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa.......can't you just see it??

Dea, I am really grateful for that info on Joseph Smith - thank you - sending great big (((hugs))) but I will be careful of your poorly finger. My grandson used to say he had a 'poorly pinger'.

One interesting thing about this lot of soldiers, is the fact that, whilst the majority of the lads were miners, 3 of them were church organists/music teachers. Isn't that odd? Managed to find some pictures of them too.


Linds, so sorry about J.'s mum......you must feel so helpless :-(



I've been to see the nurse. My cholesterol is 6.7 (I think) but the good cholesterol outweighs the bad. My BP is excellent ( :-S) My pulse is good and steady and my sugars are okay too.

All in all, when she had done all the necessary calculations she had to do, it turns out that I still don't qualify for statins as yet. Not bad for an old 'un I suppose. ;-)



Right, am flying off again......be good...... :-D :-D

thank you ginns - much appreciated <3 <3 <3

good morning all :-)

Mornin~~~~~~~~~~

Bacon butty for Dea
