I hope all goes ok Tuesday Rita.

I've just opened that can of Jack Daniels and coke to celebrate the birth of my great nephew :-)

Shelley I was just going to ask if you caught that lodger of yours ? I wonder if he had a family lol

George she did say she could drive didnt she ? imagine all the people there with their paper and pens ready for her insurance number., good job it was the old year it happened and not the new year.

Stephen I had a lovely cup of tea infact I had two with a biccy as well.

Is Marilyn on holiday again ? or is she in Norfolk with her son? she moves around so much I dont know why she bothers with a house. lol
save her self money on rates etc.

George I dont move the fridge freezer to heavy for me to push. all I am worrying about is will it fit in the little space the old one was in.? I will be pleased when it is in and i dont have to worry about it.

Next Tuesday I am off to hospital to see my consultant about my scan results. that will be a sleepless night for me..
I always worry what he will say. ?

Pauline are you any better today ? got rid of that runny nose and cough ?

It hasn't been a nice Christmas for some mice nor has it been a good year for Dictators.

Shelly.....just for the Wee Mouse

Robert Burns Poem

To A Mouse.........Standard English Translation

Small, sleek, cowering, timorous beast,
Oh, what panic is in your breast!
You need not start away so hasty
With a hurrying scamper!
I would be loath to run and chase you,
With a murderous spade!

I'm truly sorry that Man's dominion
Has broken Nature's social union,
And justifies that ill opinion
Which makes you startled
At me, your poor, earth-born companion
And fellow mortal!

I doubt not that you may steal;
So what? Poor beast, you must live!
An odd ear from twenty four sheaves of corn
is a small request:
I'll get a blessing with the rest,
And never miss it!

Your tiny housie, too, is in ruin!
Its feeble walls the winds are strewing!
And nothing now, from which to build a new one
Of foliage green!
And bleak December's winds ensuing
Both bitter and keen!

You saw the fields laid bare and wasted
And weary Winter coming fast,
And cosy here, beneath the blast,
You thought to dwell,
Until crash! the cruel plow passed
Right through your cell.

That tiny heap of leaves and stubble (grain stalks)
Has cost you many a weary nibble!
Now you are turned out for your trouble
Without house or home (belongings),
To endure the Winter's sleety dribble,
and frosty cold.

But Mousie, you are not alone
In proving that foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes (plans) of mice and men
Go oft astray (oft go awry)
And leave us nothing but grief and pain
Instead of promised joy!

Still, you are blessed, compared with me!
Only this moment touches you:
But oh! I backward cast my eye
On prospects turned to sadness!
And though forward I cannot see,
I guess and fear!


RIP The Wee Mouse

hi every one

Hazel the twins look lovely bless them xxx

now did i tell you all that we got roger the loger on christams nite aerly moring boxing day

well yes we did and he is now brown bread and put in the bin so thats hopefully all over with but still got bate down for now just in case there are any more

Me again, forgot to tell you.

As we left Morrisons to get into the car, a woman a few spaces along was reversing her car out of the space she was in, straight into the car opposite, she then pulled forward and hit a car on the other side.
She backed again and hit the same car she hit first time smashing the headlight, by now several people had gathered to watch.

She got out of her car, had a look at both the cars she had hit, got back into her car again, pulled forward, straight into the same car.....LOL

Eventually some guy asked her if she was Ok, and did she want him to maneuver her car for her, her reaction was to screech at the guy "I can bloody well drive"...LOLOL :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Sarah and I just sat there laughing our heads off :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
I bet her insurance company just love her...lol :-D :-D :-D

Afternoon Stephen, PatricaAnn and Rita.

Rita, you mind how you go moving fridge freezers around, what you like.? :-D :-D

A nice cup of tea sounds great especially with a shortbread biccy. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

George :-) :-) :-) :-)

Rita,

Am I too late for tea ?

Am I the first one ?????????

to take my Christmas Tree down and decorations ? and the three card trees that were hanging on the wall with my cards in ?

I have had a busy morning I gave most of my frozen food away. so i can defrost the freezer tomorrow. I had to put the decorations and tree back into the wardrobe at the top..
I still have items in the fridge. but I want to clean the kitchen out so I had to move bits into the back bedroom.that comes with having a small kitchen.

Now I am having a CUP OF TEA.

I need it.

Stephen, I think I come from a place like that as well :-D

Morning George

I am emptying my Fridge/Freezer as I need to defrost so they can take this one away when the bring my new one on friday I just gave a bag of meat to a friend. lamb chops and chicken breasts and beef. I hate to see food wasted. but nowhere to store it. I could have sent that to you George down the cyber.
I am doing the washing and another few mniutes and it will be finished.. I keep looking at all the cards hanging on two card trees and wonder do I take them down today also my little tree.?

Sun is out and the weather is warm dont need a coat on this morning if you go out.

Yes Stephen I do feel a bit old. I remember the old aunties in the Forsyte Saga. I'm nothing lik that!

"Scorn those politicians who, while fleecing the poor, present a pious face to the world, particularly at this time of year".

The first bit of sensible reporting I've read all year! Ok - I’m a bit of a cynic but what do you think?

Morning Rita and Stephen,

The sun is shining and all is well :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I have to go shopping for food today as the cupboard is bare...LOL , well not quite :-D :-D :-D

Hope to catch you all later.

George :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Thats good news Pat hope things are well with them both any name yet ?

Morning Stephen. we have a black sky here at the moment. not sure what it will be ? rain ? maybe it is not cold. I took the stuff out to the food bin and the dust bin and was surprised how mild it was.

washing to be done today, then must empty the fridge and freezer out as I have a new fridge freezer coming on friday sometime. so have to empty the old one and defrost. I have so many jobs where did they all come from? all small but when you add them up there is a days work at least.

Hope you all have a good day. I expect some will be shopping as the sales are on.

Morning All !

Pat......congratulations......Does it make you feel 'old'? ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)
