Morning everyone, we've got rain again. Haven't been outside so don't know if it's cold or not. We had a really cold wind yesterday but we got wrapped up and went out walking.

Good to see you back Marilyn, I think you'll have to chain Pete to the house for a while, it's the only way to stop his itchy feet.

Hello Wend, nice to see you on the thread.............. even if it was just to nick Stephen's ditty. :-) It was a good one though wasn't it?

Rita, I hate to look at a photo of myself as well................. funny thing is though - after about 10 years they don't look so bad. Maybe just because I look 10 years younger on them... :-D :-D

Morning everyone once again your on the MARK Stephen with your little laugh. so true.

Cath. you dont have to display your photo. we sent ours off to Pauline who sent a copy to our friends on Friendly she passed them to us. so they are kept within this thread. lol
I dont come out good on my photos now infact I have asked on many occasion my daughter or son to delete the one they have taken of ,me. when I have seen it. not because I am vain but because I look near to being a 100.in them.yet when I was younger I use to sit for a photographer who had a shop..
,

Did I tell you I mislayed my warfarin blood form, you take this with you when you have a blood test done, and it shows four weeks of your reading of the test. and the perscription you should be taking till your next blood test. since 2009 when I started having these done this is the frist time I lost it. so I wrote to them,( your not allowed to phone then.)
I just recieved a copy of the mislayed one and someone had scribbled on it "Please give details of any planned surgery" I am not due for the blood test till 14th Feb Valentines day. The funny part is yesterday I found the mislayed form I had pinned it to the cork notice board in my kitchen.

Hope everyone is well this morning also that you have a good day.

Take care

Me on the right, just in case you're wondering, lol.
My middle daughter on the left.

Morning my lovely friends.
Another hectic week here in the madhouse :-S
Have had my 7 yr old grandaughter here for a few days as my son was in hospital having an op on his nose. Shes no trouble and I love having her but hate making up the lunchbox, sorting out uniform for school, doing homework etc.
Almost finished decorating the upstairs loo, just have to cut down and fit the blind, hang my new mirror and finish laying the floor. Im really pleased with my efforts :-D :-D
Nice to see what Foggy and George look like :-)
Will put a pic of me up for a short time only. I dont like having my photo taken and there aren't many.
Hope everyone is well, Rita thinking of you and keeping everything crossed for you.

A Wee Chuckle for the day

2. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.

3. No one expects you to run into a burning building.

4. People call at 9 PM and ask, 'Did I wake you?'

5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

7. Things you buy now won't wear out.

10. You enjoy hearing about other peoples operations.

11. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.

Hi all I have my old tree back again I tried it a few minutes ago and it was OK. I wonder if it will stay that way, I hope so.

Alaska is that where it is light all the time. a friend of mine use to go to check on the manufacturers she hated going as it was day;light all the time and had to pack black curtain liners so she could sleep. she was ahead buyer at the time from M & S. I thought it was Alaska?
maybe i am wrong perhaps it was somewhere near there.

Now you be a good boy George going to stay at Sarahs. she will spoil you.

isnt it Robbie Burns day next week Stephen about 25th or have I got that wrong. ?do you celebrate that day. ?
I am sure my mother in Law use to. they use to go to the villiage hall for a dinner and dance. They always had a special menu.

Hi everyone,
