Hi everyone,
I thought I had better show my face, or you would think I had forgotten you.
I have been busy playing Words With Friends on Face Book, with a good friend of ours on here.
She sent me about six challenges at one time, boy oh boy my head was spinning, as I was also playing two other people at the same time.
See you tomorrow Linda, when I have given my brain a rest lol ;-)

Hope you are all behaving yourselves, and I will have a good read of the thread tomorrow.

Night god bless.

George Fish and Chips lucky you. hope you had a good day shopping. did you go in for a pub lunch ?

I didnt eat for ages due to my having teeth filled. but I opened a tin of Scotch Broth for my dinner. it was lovely I had a peach and then a pear to follow that and a cup of tea. to be honest I was typing and felt faint I dont know why . my son said it was because I had not eaten > so thats why I did the soup and fresh fruit.

It has stopped raining but it is cold. must put two pairs of knickers on tomorrow to keep warm lol.

Have a good evening everyone.

I have two wardrobes one in my bedroom that runs along the wall four doors. then a small one in the small back Bedroom I change over the clothes winter and summer go in the wardrobe in the small room. but I dont have lot of clothes now. but both wardrobes are full..
I take a lot of clothes to charity. to the Hospice shop.

I have been to the Dentist had two fillings done she took three x-rays
I have to go back in 6 months time for a check up.
I was there longer than I thought having treatment 1 hour and half..
My sister must be having hers done now. she goes Private while I go NHS,

Marilyn you get some good buys at Matalans my daughter takes me there when I stay with her and I have brought some really good items
we dont have a Matalans here nor a Wilkinsons or Marks and Spencers
I have to go into Guilford for Marks and Spencers the other I have to wait till I go to my daughters in Hayes.
I am longing for a drink but have been told not to eat or drink for an hour. my tounge is hanging out on the keyboard.

I wonder if George has brought a lot more food. I hope he has not eaten all those burgers he got..

Stephen hope you have got all the food in for tomorrow nights Robbie Burns celebrations.. They had lots of Haggis in our Waitrose. do you want me to send you a couple via cyber?

Back from the nurse................... she was not too pleased that I had gained weight !!! LOL but was quite understanding when I said I was just back from an all inclusive holiday and New Year and Christmas. BUT I am on a new me plan and will loose weight from now. I have to for my health. Back to see her in a month.
So cereal and tea for breakfast, thank you Jean.
It is so wet here this morning that the grass man couldn't do his treatments so will need to rebook when it is drier. So much for the DROUGHT that was on the news yesterday.
My friend is popping in for a cuppa this afternoon. So I had better run the vacuum round before lunch.

Marilyn that hotel must be the one they were going too I dont think there would be two Hotels burnt down like that in the same place..?

Londoners have different acents. some are real cockney and you can hardly understand them, the others are just London accents like " you silly Moo " or" silly Cow " just two examples. lol I came from just outside London. and you can hear it when I speak. whereas my sister speaks posh lol she went to a Catholic Grammer school.then on to university. while I went to a Girls School.

It is still raining hard here George I had to take the bin bags out to the commercial bins and was wading though water

Marilyn how many wardrobes do you have with all the clothes you buy?do you take over Pete's wardrobe as well.?

I think you might need waterproof clothes for you trip away. .

hope you all have a good day.

Morning All,

Not long got up !

Just had my breakfast Jean ,,,,,thank you.x

Dont know what to do today.......if I go into town I'll only spend money !!

So I think I'll just do some research for my American friend,her grandmother came from Lancashire and she wants to have all the streets that they lived in so she can visits them when she comes over to the UK ...I had to tell her we do keep old historic buildings but rarely old houses especially old colliery houses ..LOL

Rita.....That Hotel that got burnt down last year was called Tantons it was burnt down by a person that was unstable mentally, it was in Bideford North Devon.unless there was another Hotel that I am unaware of that got burnt down !!.

A Wee Chuckle for the day

Now that I'm older, here's what I've discovered...

I started out with nothing ... I still have most of it.

When did my wild oats turn to prunes and All-Bran?

I finally got my head together; now my body is falling apart.

Funny, I don't remember being absent minded.

All reports are in. Life is now officially unfair.

If all is not lost, where is it?

It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.

The first rule of holes: If you are in one, stop digging.

I went to school to become a wit, only got halfway through.

Some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant.

A day without sunshine is like a day out in Skegness.

Kids in the back seat cause accidents; accidents in the back seat cause kids.

It's not the pace of life that concerns me; it's the sudden stop at the end.

It's hard to make a comeback, especially when you haven't been anywhere.

If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees.

When you're finally holding all the cards, why does everyone else decide to play chess?
