she is a lucky lady not to have suffered cats poo in her garden ever. whether you have a cat or not you can get that. I get them on my small piece of garden I spray Jeys fluid on the ground that stops them and does not hurt the plants..

I had a friend come a little while ago He said he had been for four days in Gurnsey and it had been very cold. he said I put those snow drops in youyr garden, in case you wondered how they got there. ? I said well as they stood like little soldiers I knew the birds had not dropped them in those places. it appears he had to thin them from someone garden he was doing so he had brought them home and planted them in my little front garden. and forgot to tell me. they look lovely they have all got there little white bell like flowers with dropping heads.

Hi all

Rita glad you had a great day.

I am on a bit of a downer today. Lady next door knocked last week asking me to get rubbies bags out my garden i said may daughter is here to do that,As i cant do it myself plus cant lift the lid of the big bins.Well that was done Just one small bag of garden rubbies left to take away.Well she knocked over the weekend had a right old go.Saying that i am making the cats poo(she idnt use that word)in her garden.I ask her not to swear as i had 5yr old Caitlin here and she wouldnt, kepted saying it.So i said i dont have anymore house rubbies out there and to go away,then i shut the door.She said she is going to get onto the housing about it.She shouted that she had been here 7yrs and never had a cat poo in here garden befor.
I think she needs to get a life.But i did upset me.

Well now Caitlin gone back to school have a few days to myself be for i am over looking after Caitlin Wednesday night and take her to school pick her up Thursday then back home that night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~to everyone

Morning.

Yes Jean I had a really lovely birthday thank you, the day flew by. and now I am 1 year older.

Stephen I did laugh at your Chuckle for the day. it was a real laugh.
hope you have good day.

Cath we have a thick frost here as well the sun is trying to come out so perhaps it will make the frost go and the weather warmer.

I logged on this morning to find more birthday message. I had some emails from America Kentucky and Arlington and I go to say good morning forgetting it is night time there.. it seems strange.

I have a boring day today this morning I have the washing to do. how exciting is that ? still has to be done.

Hope everyone on Friendly has a good day. wrap up well if your going out.

Morning friendlies,
Jean hope you are feeling much better, good to have you back :-D
Stephen that chuckle made me laugh out loud. ;-)
Rita I'm pleased you enjoyed your birthday.
Its really cold this morning, frost all over the cars. I'd be quite happy to stay in all day but no such luck :-( Taking mother to town this morning and then the school run this afternoon.
Hope all the friendlies have a good day,

A Wee Chuckle for the day

Three mischievous old Grandmas were sitting on a bench outside a nursing home...
... when an old Grandpa walked by.
And one of the old Grandmas yelled out saying,
"We bet we can tell exactly how old you are."

The old man said, "There is no way you can guess it, you old fools."

One of the old Grandmas said,
"Sure we can! Just drop your pants and under shorts and we can tell your exact age."

Embarrassed just a little, but anxious to prove they couldn't do it, he dropped his drawers.

The Grandmas asked him to first turn around a couple of times and to jump up and down several times.

Then they all piped up and said, "You're 87 years old!"

Standing with his pants down around his ankles, the old gent asked,
"How in the world did you guess?"

Slapping their knees and grinning from ear to ear, the three old ladies happily yelled in unison - -

"We were at your birthday party yesterday!"

Rita, glad that you have had a lovely day...you did well with the cards and pressies.

Hope the plumbing in the kitchen is sorted for you now.....nothing worse than a water leak.

It's been a lovely day here too but has gone cold now.


Hello to all the Friendlies, hope you are all okay.

Take care everyone.


Love, Sallie.xx

Pauline the cake was that small. there would have been no room on the cake.for candles. my friend from Norfolk phoned and I told her. she said it must have been like the top tier of a wedding cake ? . I said no. it was slightly bigger than a small side plate.

all most over now but I have had a lovely day.thank you to all my friends and family.

Water on the Kitchen floor.......are you sure it was the plumbing...... ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Did a fair bit in the gardens to tidy up before the blooms start coming out. Spring is just around the corner.

I'm saying that as I look at fresh snow on the local hills and a good plastering of snow on the ones twenty miles away. :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

Catch you later possibly.

Morning everyone
Sun is shining Hubby has taken little dog for a walk. I've been doing washing and tidying up before my brother comes, after they have been to see the baby.

Finished a second sized cardigan last night and the Peter Rabbit cross stitch. So that is good. Started a small white cardigan for my "box of newbies" just incase there are some more little ones on the way to family friends or anyone else in need

Have a great day everyone
Rita enjoy your birthday
George, when do you move out of your cottage?
