Morning everyone,
Belated birthday wishes to Shelly, hope you had a lovely day and got spoilt rotten. My children are already planning a big party for my 50th in 2 years
:-S :-S :-S I hope they forget about it as I am trying to, lol.

Still trying to sort out insurance claim for flooding. A carpenter has had a look and said that all the base units will need replacing as they have swollen up and started to split. Waiting for an assessor to come have a look.

Welcome back Marilyn :-D
Hope all the friendly thread are well,
<3 <3

Morning Jean............. and everyone else as you get here.

The floods have receded this morning and I can see my patio again. Luckily I don't live on low land so it wasn't that bad for us. A 10 minute drive down the road it was so bad that cars were totally under water.

Lovely breakfast, Jean, thank you, I'll have some of everything.............. because I'm a hog.

Morning all, did everyone sleep well?

Breakfast ??
Bacon, eggs, sausage, mushrooms and tomatoes. help yourselves.
Toast, marmalade or honey
(_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? tea or coffee.

Dull and cloudy here this morning, but warm, maybe it will brighten up later
though.


Have to go to the dentist today, just for a check up, hope I dont need any treatment.

Hello Foggy, good to see you on here again, hope you are well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~ to everyone, hope you have a good day
Take care and stay safe.

Foggy, where've you been? I was getting a bit worried about you, didn't know if you'd left or if you were in hospital again.

Really pleased to see you back with us, hope you're well.

Hi there Foggy.

Hi to all the Friendlies on here,
Not been about for a while, so, thought I would drop in and say hello.
Hope everyone is well.

Foggy

Morning everyone, at least those not on holiday with no access !!
It was a damp start, but I risked putting on a wash. Glad I did as it is outside and almost dry.
Just spent more time in the garden tidying up. Hubby cut the front grass. So looks nice and neat out there.
Have completely finished the baby's cot blanket it looks great, rainbow colours so should also brighten his room.
Started a shawl for the baby due in September, haven't done this pattern for 33 years so it is a challenge and in 3ply wool so very fine too.
Have a great day everyone

Morning I thought I would log on and say I am ready . well only a few small things to do before I go.
emailed friends and family to let them know where I would be incase they needed to get intouch with me.

Marilyn pleased you had a good holiday I bet it will be a few weeks when you will be off again somewhere on holiday ? SNOW whats that look like? dont bring any home with you please.

Jean the weather isnt too good here at the moment , I hope yours is better so you get to go out in the garden.?,
the days are starting to close in. we will have to made the most of the daylight.and sun

Pauline I didnt know Shelly was going to have a party at Marilyns either. ?but I knew her son stays there when she is away think of all those holidays he gets.

Hello to all who sign on here today. see you when I get back..

Morning all............ it's raining again.

We know you aren't looking out for 'some old guy', Rita, It's a young one you're after...... as usual. :-D

Hazel, you must have been under a lot of stress with all the worry of no money coming in. Pleased to see it's starting to get sorted now.

Huia, it seems that a lot of people who are genuine invalids are losing money while the powers that be are trying to find out who the work shy ones are.

Sounds like Scarlett is going to take after her gran, Jean.

Marilyn, great to see you posting again, have a safe journey home. I didn't know that Shelly was trying to have a party at your place............ must have missed that. Mind you, I should have known, she's always up to something when you go away.

Linda and Stephen are a bit late today.

Hi Girls !!

I'm coming home LOL I'm at Seattle about to board the plane to Heathrow.

I have had a ball !! just not looking forward to doing the dishes or cooking ..Ughhh :-S

Jean ...good to see little Scarlet enjoying her self with Grandma :-D bless her.

Rita ....have a great holiday as you deserve one big time :-)


Hi to Huia good to see you popping in...

I have just managed to look through threads quickly as Pete is trying to snatch my lappy from me..

:-S

Glad you all didn't take notice of Shelly organizing a party at my place ...as my brother & wife would have chased you all away ....see he looks after my digs when I'm away , all my plants need attention ....LOL ,but seems like its rained most of the time I have been away .....
So hope its sunny for me when I get back cant be doing with RAIN ...I've seen enough snow on mountains with water falls to last a life time !!.

Speak soon......my Lovelies. :-D

Hello all, just looked in to see how everyone is.
Hazel, so sorry to read about all the problems you are having with getting your money sorted, wonder why these things take so long, dont the departments realise that you have to live and pay your bills. Just a thought, have you been in touch with the Welfare Rights office, they are usually helpful.
Rita, I hope the weather is kind to you in Eastbourne, never been there, is it nice?
The weather has been lovely here today, got lots done in the garden but am very tired now, Scarlett was bathed and fast asleep by 7 o'clock, she is a real little outdoors girl.
Well I will wish you all Good night, God bless,
Sweet dreams, may you have a peaceful night.
Jean xx <3 <3 <3

Hazel, I am sorry about your problems. It sounds like some buck passing going on with doc wanting the others to write to him and they want him to write first. Beauracracy!!!*#@%

Hi all

Well i was having a great day out in St Albans yesterday, when i got a phone call from housing telling me that as no rent has been paid for 3 months they sending me a letter that if i dont pay it with in 5 weeks i wil lbe asked to leave. But saw someone today and i dont have to worry about now as she has re started my payments from the benefits for rent and poll tax. But still waiting for my appeal to be looked at, I went to doctor for the letter i have been waiting for 3weeks, now he saying he dont do them un les the benefitsask for it in wrting. Phoned them and they dont ask for them anymore.

Shelley glad you had a nice birthday.

Rita have a great time away, hope you are lucky with the weather

Pauline it was warm and dry this morning, but got light rain now.

Linda thats what i say how did we do it by ourselves, I had 3 to look after. Teri only has Caitlin.

Stephen where do you find these funny things?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~to everyone.Take care

Hazelx

Thank you Linda and Jean.and Pauline. I am off to Eastbourne with my sister. we normally go to Devon or Dorset. but she booked Eastbourne for a change.
I have spend nearly all after noon putting things in the case and taking them out. I have given up now what I have laid on the bed to pack tomorrow will go with me. It isnt as though I am looking to pick some old, guy up. lol
My sister is coming for me in the morning a car will take us to Victoria station all ready booked. and we get a cab when we get to Eastbourneso it only gettiong on and off the bus here to my local station.

I got my cheque from the housing trust who owed me two months money
so they were good sending that so quickly.

Afternoon all.

It's very warm today but dark and wet............ again!

I'm getting sick of all this rain.

You must be getting better weather than us, Jean, if you can sit in the garden. Make the most of it while you've got the chance.

I liked that one, Stephen.

Linda, your daughter will get more confident as time goes by. But you're right............. we just had to get on with it.

Where are you going for your holiday, Rita? Hope you have a lovely relaxing time.

Morning everyone,
Cloudy here, but at least it is dry and warm, had breakfast in the garden this morning, Scarlett's idea not mine. lol.
Linda I do hope your daughter is feeling beter now, and baby is settled again, I dont envy young parents today, there is too much worrying information and scary reports in the papers out there about babies health.
Rita I hope you can keep your case reasonably light, have a great holiday, rest and relax.
Wish you all a good day, take care and stay safe.
Jean xx
:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Morning all
Sunny and humid here this morning showers forecast for later.
Got the last plants in yesterday.
Had to go to daughters yesterday, she has a heavy cold and the baby was fractious, hot and unsettled. Mum and Dad to the rescue. How did I manage on my own....... oh I just got on with it. Still thats what Mums are for isn't it. They were both fine after we had lunch with them. Too much information out there and they are so worried that they will miss a serious illness. Yes it happens but rarely.

Rita I hope you manage your packing OK and it is light enough for you to manage. Have a great holiday.

Have a good day everyone

Linda xxx <3 <3 <3

Morning Stephen

I have all my windows open it is a lovely morning sunny with a gentle breeze
I had a good laugh with your giggle this morning Stephen. I dont know where you get them from but they are funny.

I am just going to have my breakfast. then I need to sort out what I am taking on my holidays. It must be nice when you have a car and can throw everything in but when you have to have a case and travet by train it is a nightmare to try and keep the clothes down.
I have to pull the case so try to make it as light as I can.

We seem to be getting less and less on the thread must remember to shower more often lol

Have a good day Stephen and anyone else who comes on later.

A Wee Chuckle for the day

A helicopter carrying passengers suddenly looses engine power and the aircraft begins to decent.

The pilot safely performs an emergency landing in water, and tells the passengers to remain seated and to keep the doors closed, stating that in emergency situations, the aircraft is designed to stay afloat for 30 minutes, giving rescuers time to get to them.

Just then a man gets out if his seat and runs over to open the door.

The pilots screams at him, "Didn't you hear what I said, the aircraft is designed to stay afloat as long as the doors remain closed?!".

"Of course I heard you", the man replied, "but it's also designed to fly, and look how good that one worked out!!"

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
