Not likely Sylvs......they were warned!!


It took three washes to get the spray out of my hair! At least I look fairly normal now and it's hairdresser time on Thursday so I should look fairly stunning after that......lol


It's been pouring down here but is now bright and sunny. To put the washing out or not to put the washing out, that is the question!


Got a pile of ironing to do ....... with a new iron. Daughter was just giving something a quick onceover yesterday and said she could smell burning! I took over and there was smoke coming out of the top of the iron. Hmmmm. not good. Unplugged and binned. Fortunately, I had a new iron in the cupboard which we bought last year when we thought the other had packed up. Good job too!..I hate being without an iron.


Love to all. Cx.

I'm here Frank.....I haven't been 'ruptured'.....er....I mean 'raptured' or whatever it was that was supposed to happen to us. Wonder how those who really believed it are feeling now??



I can remember this sort of prophesy when I was at school back in the dark ages.......as giggly girls we got all 'hyper'.....must have driven the teachers mad!


Remember the men who used to walk around with placards on their fronts and backs? The End of the World is Nigh! blah blah blah.


I have only skimmed the tekkie talk cos I don't know what you are on about but I am glad Anne has sorted out whatever it was.


Sue, it's good that your dad is doing well.....hope it stays that way.


It's very windy here and we were supposed to get a lot of rain but have only had a small amount..........let's wait and see....


Just going to settle down to watch Vera the new detective series on TV. I love a good murder story ;-)



Have had granddaughter since lunch time and she decided to give me a new hairstyle. She used straighteners and a lot of hairspray! OH took one horrified look and daughter said "You're not going anywhere looking like that".....I guess they weren't that impressed!



Take care all.....Cx

Oooops,

Cross St Tabitha and St Sylvia off the list on high.............. St Cynthia ?

Anne, glad to see you got to grips with the wireless printer connection as I did warn you of the blind leading the blind. I was unsuccessful in my attempt before I reset my computer so I'm now building up to having another go.

Why, in these days of super computers can't it be a simple process to select a printer and tell it to connect wirelessly with the router allowing the computer to do all the neccessary security work witout hitting us with lots of gobbledeygook. :S

I was going to ask which choice words worked for you but I have an Epson so they probably wouldn't work....... perhaps a good kick would do it. :P

By the way, I had a warning e-mail from BT that I was in danger of exceeding my usage allowance of 10GB but I can put that down to the fact that I had to download lots of updates etc for my clean computer.
There is a BT usage monitor available from BT which shows your day to day usage for peace of mind.

"How do I access the usage monitor?

You access the usage monitor through My BT. In the product section of My BT there is a 'View your broadband usage' link. Click this link to open the usage monitor. If you haven't got an online account, just go to www.BT.com/mybt and sign up."

Computer advisory services signing off from hell.

See you soon ? ;-)

EDIT............. Welcome down Susan. :S

Hi Everyone

We have just got back from Perth the city to see my Dad for a few days ,he is well.

I see Frank got taken in with this stupid earth coming to an end ,you did'nt really think it would happen did you.
I remember a few years ago someone else saying the same thing,I really don't know why they do it ,it just scares people .
I suppose they have to get there kicks somewhere.

Cynthia I thought the Queen going to Ireland was a great idea here's hoping it heals a few wounds,God knows it has been going on for far to long.

While up in Perth I set Dad up with Skype,and downloaded a web cam for him ,he can now see and talk to all his elderly brothers and sisters in the Uk .
It was wonderful to watch him last night...brought a tear to my eyes as he is now to old to travel back to the Uk for another trip so this is the only way he can get to see them.

That was the reason for going up to Perth in the first place...I hate going up there everyone is in such a rush all the time.

Anne glad you got your computer sorted it is very frustrating is'nt it but a lot of fun when it all goes right

Ops !!
That's Dad calling me again on Skype,I hope he has not done anything wrong already I only left him 3 hours ago.
Be back later.
Suex

Edit

Hey it's alright as it's 23.00 GMT and we are still here.

.............well, I am still here but I'm getting worried about all the good people who used to be here :O

ET TU SYLVIA :S

Oooops, I forgot you are a bit ahead of us.

:S

Do you get a good broadband signal up there :P

Can I have all of your genealogical subscrition details as you won't need them. :D

WHIT..................

I'm still here and you have all gone :S

Do me a favour Cynthia and and look up some of my relatives for family tree details while you are up there,

Before they send you back down. :P

Wow,

It's the end of the world but it's been fun and I hope to see you all on the other side.

XXXX

:S

P.S. If you get there before me can you keep me a place. ;-)

Hello Robert and glad to hear you are okay - we certainly want a decent photo of you......what about as a child?


Sylvia....that thought has cropped up before and is likely to be one of the likeliest possibilities. There are several Donaldina's, Dolina's and Davidina's around so maybe it was one of those and she shortened it to Diane. Several possibilities have been checked but it's expensive to keep checking on the 1911. She must have been somewhere though!!


~~~~~Cx

Don't worry C,

The "old man" is fit and well and each day looks in to see what is happening here.

Regards to all.

PS. still looking for a half decent photo, but this is taking time - I do not want to frighten you all!!

Hi all
xx

we're having some lovely weather here


and Monday is a Statutory Holiday (ie, same as Bank Holiday)

The Monday closest to May 24th is Victoria Day

May 24th was Queen Victoria's birth day

:))))


It's actually treated as the "start" of summer

......... plant your garden, if you have not already done so ............ and IF it is clear of snow!

........ put out and clean garden furniture

...... open up the cabin or summer cottage


etc etc



we'll just stay home quietly!



and hope that this weather lasts until then



Cyn .... I am beginning to wonder if Evelyn's mother changed her name?




take care everyone

Well I'm here ....~~~~~~~

Don't know where everyone else has got to though. Maybe they are all busy or just on everyday tasks.

My excitement today has been cleaning windows......... :D I clean the windows in the garage occasionally - outside. Today I ventured in and had a go......arrrrghhh. My OH bewailed the fact that I had shifted a spider and a dead butterfly.........honestly! Men!


Have just been watching the Queen leave Ireland after her historic tour. It seems to have been a great success and I am so relieved that it has gone off without any trouble. I bet the security services are glad it's all over! For someone who is 85 she is absolutely incredible and I loved the outfits she wore.


Robert is being very quiet lately, hope he's okay.


I have been taking another look at Evelyn's thread and wonder where it is leading. So many stones have been turned but nothing much has come out from under them. FBG has really given it her all and so many others have tried to help too. One day maybe..........one day.......sigh.


Think I may just mooch around for a while now.


Lots of love to all and do pop back soon.....



:-) Cx

Ok - were are you all

Come out come out wherever you are

Its me who was going to lose broadband today - so far it seems to be working well

What has happened to everyone.

Take care all
