Not too serious at the moment then Robert.
We are very lucky here in Guernsey as we have excellent eye care hope its the same where you are.

Evelyn,
Back to Optician/Optometrist in 6 months for possible referral to eye Surgeon.

Regards.

Hello Everyone,
Here I am again, still coughing well but starting to feel a little better.
Ron has to go back to the eye specialist today as his Iritis is back again.
Well still no sign of my mother for some reason she seems to want to remain hidden, I wonder what her big secret was, I doubt that we will ever know.
Both Ron and I have cataracts though neither of us need them removed yet something to look forward to, are you in the same position Robert or do you need yours attended to right away?
The weather here is wonderful today beautiful sunshine and no wind, I might sit out in the garden later and read my book.
Lovely to hear from you Reece are the familly all well?
Coffee time, anyone fancy a cup?
Love to all
Evelyn XX

Yes Reece ,
I was supposed to be in Bournemouth today actually, but decided not to go.
It is not easy to get from here in the North East to Bournemouth and I felt the cost to the Organisation could not be justified and the money could be better used in other directions.
They will send me a copy of the Minutes (which I shall read in my shell - if my eyes hold out)

Hello friends,

A beautiful sunny day and it is going to be warm at last!

Robert, I, too, am sorry to hear your problems all arrived in one package and, even though your 'fortune' is much reduced, that is no excuse for 'clamming up' on us. I seem to remember that you were going to Bournemouth was it this month?

The days are much too nice to spend in your shell!

Evelyn, your mother will eventually appear - I know you won't give up nor will those lovely friends.

Anne - I have Bourne family from Sussex in my tree and know another one where there are others. Let me know any details for your Emma Sophia and I will have a good look for you.

Frank - how do you manage to do all this decorating and work? Although I haven't quite forgotten helping P almost fifty years ago with decorating at night after his day's work and my efforts with two little boys, a dog and two Siamese cats. What energy we all had then!

Susan, Cynthia, Sylvia and Josie - hope all is going well - I am following your news.

Susan, dil's parents are not long back from a trip to WA - her sister lives in Nannup! They also stayed in Perth for awhile and had a wonderful time. He has just gone off to South America on a butterfly (his great enthusiasm) trip!

Love,
Rxx

Hi all

Oh dear, Robert ................... I'm sorry about all the problems



But please, don't disappear for good!

we'd miss you too much!

Day 1 - Had eye test - cataracts diagnosed - new specs - cost a fortune.

Day 2 - Car in Garage - found problems - cost a fortune

Day 3 - Printer broken - cannot be repaired - new printer - cost a fortune

Day 4 - Broke tooth - Dentist could not fit me in - went private - cost a fortune.

Back in shell PERMANENTLY.

Good luck and goodbye

Oh dear not good news on the SP & finding mother thread

Never mind - was going to bring out the bubbly

Looks like Diane Leslie Mcleod (excuse spelling) is going to remain one of lifes mysteries.

I have a few of those

Emma Sophia Bourne
Thomas Saul Hancock
Cordelia Penfold
Elizabeth Cole
My parents

Just to name a few - lots of great mysteries - oh for the use of a time machine - just for a few days - I would be so dizzy - but boy would I have a few answers too.

I would love to know how to knock down these brick walls and see what happened.

Well we can't have everything we want can we - Its what seems to keep us going - well keeps me going anyway - just in case i find a website with the answers.

Oh well sad grey day today - fingers still crossed Evelyn - hoping FBG will find the answer

Take care all

Hi all

no need to go back to the dentist for another 6 months


Boy, did it ever rain today. I got really wet going to the dentists ............... I take 2 buses, neither bus stop has any shelter nearby.


and ti was cold ....... it didn't get over about 5C


The nearby mountains got snow while we were getting the rain ............ needless to say people are very happy about that because it means the local ski season will go on longer than usual!



take care everyone

Hope the visit to the op goes well Sue - its a horid thought - bad enough when i had my ops and wasn't allowed on a computer.

I shouldn't agree with the bullet - but I would hate it if i couldn't do my family tree any more - mind you - no-one to leave it to - so once we are gone it will probably be thrown in the skip.

How depressing after all our hard work - by the time we go everything will be on the net so they won't need our info - even more depressing

Looking forward to tomorrow - to see if Evelyn gets her wish & finds her mum - don't know who is more excited her, FBG or Ginny.

I have offered to start the betting on who gets on SP first and who comes up with all the info first as well.

Won't it be wonderful if Evelyn can get her mum sorted - there must be so many people sitting with their fingers crossed - no wonder we can't type any more.

Lovely day here sunny & cold

Reading the Book thief at the moment - very strange book - but thought provoking - great if you find it in a charity shop - well worth paying for

Frank - well done - you should feel very proud

Hope the physio goes well Sylvia

Hope the dentist isn't too bad Cynthia

Take care all - back to work i go

Hi Everyone

A few sore parts today ,it was really hot yesterday and it took it out of us all while doing the brick paving but it was alot of fun as well.
My OH and I remembered when we were young and did all our work ourselves around the house,we did save a lot of money that way.

Can't wait to see if Evelyns mother shows up in the 1911 census,she does have a very good following helping out ,good on you ladies for being such good friends....we are a licky lot on here.

Still hot today but hoping the rain will come on Thursday as predicted.

I use ccclean all the time ....not to much of a problem with the re entry of the passwords.

I see my eye spec next Friday hopfully the glucoma has not done too much damage to my sight.
I would not like it if I could not see the keyboards to well,I may as well give myself a bullet if I can't do my genealogy any more.

Going to see my Grandson now he has been away working for a few months really missed him.

Catch you all later.

Hey Sylvia,

We guys don't celebrate Mother's Day, we leave that to the wummin ;)

Absolutely shattered but that's the bedroom wallpapered so just the laminate flooring to do now.
Ran out of wallpaper paste so I had to walk over to our local Homebase this morning, then just as I was getting going again, the noisy grandaughter appeared with her mum and dad for a Mother's Day visit so I had to stop and amuse her or should I say, be amused............ she's got two teeth now and still slabbering.
I think they are queuing up to come through.

Anyway, my legs are aching with all that climbing up and down ladders but the electric blanket is on so a quick cup of tea and zzzzzzz.

Night all.

By the way Cynthia, no clearing your history etc won't clear out your favourites but some of your passwords may require re-inputing.

Ccleaner..........

Hi all


Happy Mother's Day to you guys in the UK


we don't celebrate Mother's Day until the second Sunday in May, which is May 8 this year.



I also have the excitement of a visit to the dentist tomorrow ..... my 6 monthly check-up.


Then it's to the physio on Tuesday, while OH goes to the dentist!


My word, it's all go!!



Oh, I do hope that Evelyn gets to the bottom of the mystery tomorrow.




Take care everyone

Hope you haven't given yourself a hernia doing all that brickpaving Sue! You should send for Frank as he can turn his hand to anything it seems.



A real mixture of sunshine and showers here today......Mothering Sunday. I had some nice pressies and cards from my two so that was lovely and I'm very grateful.


The excitement for tomorrow is a vist to the dentist....but I really don't mind that at all. What a life.....lol


It will be good to know if Evelyn's mother is on the census and it will be lovely for Evelyn to get to the bottom of this mystery. Here's hoping!


Take care all. Cx.

Hi Everyone

We have just got home from the Daughters house,her Oh is doing his own Brickpaving so we thought we would give him a hand with compacting sand and getting it all level.

It is a very latge area so we are off again tomorrow to start laying bricks ,it would be perfect if it was a little cooler.

They are telling us on the weather that we may have some showers on Thursday ,I hope they are right we really do need some rain .

We still get a little on New Zealand over our neck of the woods but the Japan earthquake has taken over and the upset in Libia is on a lot .

Cynthia your OH is correct there is too much doom and gloom on the news,it is depressing to watch.
I am really looking forward to William and Kates wedding,that should brighten up everyone for a while.

Better get some food on for his lordship ,talk again later.

Suex

Edite
Cant wait for Evelyns mother to show up,only a few days to go.

Hi Josie, good to hear from you. I agree with Sylvia, Christchurch has slipped onto a backburner unfortunately probably because of the tsunami in Japan etc.........my OH is fed up with watching the news because it's all so gloomy.


When you have more time, let us know how things are going out there if you feel up to it.


Sounds like your OH could do with our Frank to help out Sylvia.....oh no...that wouldn't help because Frank definitely spills paint.


I'm hoping to have our bedroom decorated this year. Memo to self......lure OH into DIY shop to browse through wallpaper. He needs some excitement in life.....lol


Grey day here but only ironing to do so I'm quite happy with that.


Love to all. Cx

Hi all
xxx


it was a lovely day today .... sunny, blue skies, and warm. It got up to about 13C


the rain we had been promised slipped a bit southward, so Washington and Oregon got wet instead of us :))


Unfortunately, Josie, I think Christchurch and its problems have completely slipped off the front pages. I haven't seen anyhting about the area for at least 10 days.


It's all Japan, or Libya, or somewhere else in the Middle East.


OH is finally painting the kitchen. He's got some gloss to do now ............ painting the walls around the stove and the sink and back splash over the counters with gloss coloured the same as the rest of the walls, and then there's white gloss on door frames, baseboards etc.


Do hope he doesn't spill any of that. The matte or semi-gloss wipes off counter tops and floor, but gloss ...................................

Also ........... he's going to have to move the stove out, so I'll have to keep my fingers crossed that he doesn't rip the new lino, as he did when he moved the fridge.



Take care everyone

Hi Cynthia
most unusual to find someone here when I come for a Browse normally find us on page 2.
Life has been quite surreal in my part of the World
am finnaly coming out of Disaster mode to discover the rest of you are happily chugging along busy painting your houses and
getting 'Massive Pension increases' Ha ha.
Hopefully the paint fumes and the extra loot won't send you all 'Ga Ga

Am of to my bed will catch you all later Josie.

Frank....meant to ask......please wipe that paint off your fingers......

if I clear my cache/browsing history, do I lose all my favourites and have to set up the passwords on them all again?


Thank you. You may now resume stripping the walls. ~~~~~~~~

Frank......our little handyman.....you're back! Sorry about guffawing when I read that you dropped the paint pot!

The colour scheme you have in mind is similar to that of my daughter's room.......there are some lovely things in those shades at Dunelm Mill shops....just let your wife loose there...........she'll have a wonderful time.


Anne, nothing ventured nothing gained! At least you will have tried. Who know? Perhaps you will impress them more than the one you they have in mind!! Think of it as good experience rather than rejection though.


Do hope you get your noisy neighbour problem sorted soon Sue...very distressing.


My friend's husband's funeral is next Wednesday so I am making arrangements to be able to go and sit with her whilst the funeral is taking place. I do miss her and keep wanting to pick up the phone to tell her this and that.......and then I remember! :(


Hopefully a nice day here........washing machine going like the clappers!



Take care all. Cx
