General Chat

Oh hell I meant Callum not Marcus ,Shelly, where the heck did I get that name from.
I don't know if I am on my head or my heels these days, the brain seems to have sunk down below my waist line, I know I talk a loads of ahem ,poo at times (thats me being polite)
Where has everyone got to I wonder, surely not sunbathing, it's just..."To darned hot to sit out in it."
I must be ruddy mad, have changed all the bedding, hoovered, dusted and polished the bedrooms, cleaned the bathroom, got the washing done and dried ironed and put away, and yes, I am cream crackered.
Now it's time to start dinner, ooh how I wish I had a servant for a day, instead of being head cook and bottle washer, I'm not asking for it to be every day, just once in a while.
Right I am orft to start dinner, see ya's all later. Mo

im going to enjoy my new almost trim figger whill it last LOL

hope sue dont take to long in comeing back as i miss her late nite chats

any way dont for get im not her from the 29th for 5 day as going away to disney paris

mo im a little confued to who is Marcus as there is no one of that name in this year BB

Norren, I do like the choice of name for our royal baby.I wonder if the family will call him George, or choose Alexander for private use.
I notice the little mite has been learning the royal wave already.
Like you, christmas has always been an expense where the grandchildren are concerned. It was not so bad when we were both working, but as they have got older (the grandchildren), the cost of the gifts has risen and got bigger in size, and our pockets have shrunk.
Fortunately for us, we now have quite a few who are out working, and don't expect presents from us anymore. But we still have seven who wait for Santa to visit them. lol
We had Lilly for the day yesterday, and oh boy were we cream crackered by the time she went home.
Bless her, she was boiling over, and has got her nasty cough back again. I wish the doctors would decide if she is asthmatic or not, at least that way, we would know how to help her better. It's no good saying,"if she needs it, give her the Ventolin inhaler", she needs a proper diagnosis.
I am in the middle of doing the sandwiches for presentation night tonight. The whole house stinks of eggs, and onions, methinks the airfreshener will be bought out when they are finished, yuk, cant stand the pong. Why oh why do people like cheese and onion sandwiches...there choice I suppose, but it aint helping the odour in here. :-S :-S :-S poo stinks.
Bye for now girls, back to the sanga's.

Hi All Still warm and dry here had rain during the night but none during the day so at least gardens getting a watering.
Mo That must have been a storm and a half to hit a house hope there was not to much damage makes you think though! your wee Lily is at a lovely age our youngest g/daur (at the moment until Nov lol) Poppy, is 20 mths she is just lovely but what a monkey with 2 older bros she is a right tom boy and bullies them dreadfully lol! Yes we do miss the 2 families that are in Aus Steve has been there for 20 yrs and his daughter who lives with him was born there and is now 18 ugh? while Keith our other son and wife left here just over a year ago with 4 of his 5 children leaving his oldest aged 22 here but think he will emigrate soon :-( so family quite depleted still we are lucky as there are 4 still here with 6 g/kiddies :-D
Are you still doing that ironing then Marilyn time to stop and have a break me thinks
So what do you all think then of our new Prince George Alexander Louis I quite like the name and he is a lovely wee lad very blonde wonder if he takes that from Diana

Hi Noreen,
Our Lilly is two and a half. She is a little doll.
We had an enormous storm last night, with sheet and fork lightening, it absolutely chucked it down with rain, but the plants in the garden gave a big cheer for the drink they received.
A house not far from us was hit by the lightening, and went up in smoke. Thank goodness it wasn't us thats all I can say.
I bet you really miss your family in OZ. I have discovered three cousins in OZ, that I didn't know existed, and would love to meet them, but know I never shall, and thats such a pity.
Bye for now, I hope you manage to get a decent nights sleep. Mo

Hi All...Oh my goodness wish it would thunder here and break the clammy atmosphere just can't breathe :-S
Mo your poor wee Lillly bet your glad to know what is wrong and hope the grommets help Friend had the same with her son years ago grommets kept coming out but he is now in his 20's and just fine, how old is Lilly?
Did you enjoy your BBQ Marilyn not been to one this year .....no one has invited us we not wanted
:-( ... :-D Looks as if everyone is enjoying the sun too much to come on here (or maybe at BBQ ... to which we not invited :-( :-D
Just been on the phone to son in Aus they are having lots of snow so the skiing is going well and the g/kiddies are really enjoying learning how to ski and snowboard we were watching them on the video and they are scooting down the small slopes far too quickly for my liking ! (in case anyone doesn't know they only emigrated last year and this is the first year in the Snowy Mts where skiing is on the school curriculum so they are having to get lessons) Oh we do miss them :-(

Hmm Marilyn, yes we have spoken about your sisters wedding and ours being on the same date, and year.
As I have said before, I was but a mere baby when we got married, a pure innocent lickle thing. I soon learn't mind you lol.
I hope you enjoyed your BBQ, we had a lovely chicken salad, we just didn't want a proper roast today.

Noreen, do you remember when the blue dolly bags were used, every Monday morning, wash day. Perhaps your OH was trying to replace them with his sun hat. :-D :-D
Bless him, he was only trying to be helpful.

I forgot to tell you all, our Lilly had to go for an assessment on Friday. She appeared to be rather backwards with her speech, but, they have discovered she has no hearing in her right ear.
She has to go back in four months, for another check on it. They seem to think she may have glue ear, due to all the infections she suffered last winter.
As a last resort, they will fit grommets, but they dont always work do they. Our eldest granson had them fitted, but the darned things came out, but fortunately his hearing had improved by that time, and he is now a strapping 20 year old.

Well me dears, I will say cheers for now, speak to you later. Mo

Mo So sorry to hear your have had problems with family but could you not re-new your vows with just the family who you get on with? Whatever you go all out to celebrate with your husband and make it the best celebration you can manage and enjoy yourself and don't worry about people that won't be there it's there loss remember out of sight out of mind .
Hi Marilyn no sun here today ...good! ... lovely and cool what a relief. hope it's nice for your BBQ isn't it nice not to bother with cooking hmm must look around and see where I can invite ourselves to, funny don't think there have been any bbq in the street so far maybe too hot. oh well pizza will have to do for Sun lunch :-S
Just washed some white sheets , I love lovely crispy white sheets, only they have come out blue ugh! ....that so and so silly old *^*^ has an old dk blue sun hat which he wears in garden he put the sheets in and must have dropped hat in with it

Morning All..... :-D

A bit cooler today ......windy !!

Nolls ....No I haven't done any ironing yet !!......to hot & lazy .

I have been invited out for a BBQ this afternoon .....goody goody, means I don't have to cook !

Mo.... you got married the same day & year as my sister......hmm maybe I have told you that before ;-)

I hope you all have a lovely day today, and the sun shines wherever you are . :-D

To be honest Noreen, we had hoped to renew our vows, as we did for our 40th, but with problems in our family, I don't think that this will be possible, it's a shame but hey ho, thats life.
So we might just have a family meal, with members of the family who are still talking to me. They would turn up if Roly went on his own, but hey, it's my anniversary as well, and why should I starve just because they chose to be nasty.lol
If the blackmail works on your John, re the painting, give me the recipe and I will try it on im indoors, but I will use the darts or cricket as my exc ... blackmail.
Did you get the curtains up o.k by the way. I hope there was no problems with them.
Night night god bless, speak to you tomorrow sometime. Mo

Are you going to do anything nice for your 50th then Mo?? we had a family meal and few friends (don't like big do) M&S do a beautiful fruit (or sponge) 50th cake it was lovely I also got for the kiddies a sponge oblong cake just iced so added gold roses / dust and ribbon and it looked so expensive and in fact it was the first to be eaten it was so light.
Laughing at the saucy monkey...it was hubby's fault as well he enjoyed talking about golf and yes he did get a cuppa but the baking was still in the oven think he had a bisc.
Now I am going to do what you are doing Mo and not bother about batteries been told not to bother so if we both go up in smoke ...well we'll sit on a cloud and watch this site :-D
Sorry Marilyn I knew it was you just a slip of the fingers did you get your ironing done don't think I could face that at the moment the steam would just floor me...well that's my excuse. Still been busy today I actually washed 2 duvets managed to get them out and dried ....lovely got the rest of the bedding done (son been staying with us while his house is being renovated) so up to date with all washing been really energetic in the cleaning dept. But now I have got my eye on some painting (OK so no go Mo - got the hint !) so poor old John is next in line won't tell him until after the golf then it's "You know how I let you sit ALL Day watching golf and doing nothing while I ran around ? yes? well then........." ) hahaha
:-D :-D ;-)
Nite All Be Good if you can Take Care Enjoy Tomorrow

noreen

Oh Noreen, how could you forget your wedding anniversary 51 years, many congratulations to you both.
It will be our 50th in February, well, sort of, as we married in a leap year in 1964.
What a saucy monkey that rep was, plonking his bum down in your house and watching golf. I suppose he expected a cup of tea as well. I do hope you didn't give him any of your baking.
My battery on here does not hold it's charge, and I have to keep it plugged into the mains when I use it. I decided I wasn't going to fork out for a new battery, not if I could still use it the way I do. Well thats what my kids have told me to do anyway, so if I go up in a puff of smoke you know who to blame, yep the kids. lol
My OH has slept in his own room for years now,(coz of his snoring) Noreen, it was Marilyn's OH that slept in the other bedroom last night.
Oooh Marilyn, you are a one, asking Peter if he and Sue are connected in any way, lol I wanted to ask that, but hadn't got the nerve to do it, so come on Peter tell us do, we are after all the gossip. ;-) ;-) ;-)
Well surprise surprise, I was back into leggings and a jumper today, cor lummy, it didn't arf turn chilly round me bits and pieces. We also had spots of rain on and off all morning, what a change after the last week or so.
Maz and Shelly, Marcus on BB comes from near to me, and he is acting like a right wazzuk. But I am glad that Jackie went on Friday night, she did provoke the last argument that she and Marcus had. Don't worry, I am not over keen on Marcus, he doesn't do himself any favours being the way he is.
Well me lovelies, me hearties, I must away now, take care, speak to you tomorrow. Mo

Couldn't resist slipping on here even though the message popped up again will try and get it sorted on Mon. Thank goodness it's cloudy not so hot don't blame your hubby sleeping next door Mo I often go to spare bed and being at the back of the house it's lovely and cool usually. Well not doing much today oh had the rep from the windows come out to give us another estimate foe patio doors (ouch) not doing them yet :-( he came at 12 finished measuring at 12.15 sat down with hubby and they watched golf for the next hour .... :-D while I did some baking. Oh and we forgot it was our 51st wedding anniv. :-D
Be Good Take Care Enjoy tomorrow
Noreen x

Morning All,

Peter......Well I never our Sue has come to glorious Devon !! LOL
Now who might you be in Sue's Life ? great to see another Male on Friendly though. :-D

Nolls...... I could have done with that yellow flower watering spray.....during the night last night !............... My Pete slept in the other bedroom for the first time in our married life !! not sure I approved but I did sleep better and so did he ...LOL

Oh well I suppose I had better get and some Ironing , I might give up after 10mins
:-0 :-S

think I might be off for a few days got computer message to say batteries are not working (even though am using elec.?) and to get new ones so just in case will get some this w/end maybe if son comes over and tells me what to get :-D

A nice cool shower Mo lovely, kiddies over the road have a big yellow flower which goes round spraying water... no one was in today and I nearly "Borrowed" it. You have to stick it in the grass unfortunately our back is all stone so would have to stick it in the grass at front, wonder if the neighbours would mind if I buy one and go dancing round and round the flower shower in the front garden :-S :-S

Thanks for letting us know Peter. We do miss Sue's postings.

Noreen, it looks like it's only me and thee around today, we wont see Shelly till around midnight, she's a real night owl.
My maxi dresses have had an airing during this hot weather as well. I don't like showing me pins, so maxi's are my favourite.
I'm thinking I shall have a tepid bath in a minute, it's at times like this I wish we had a shower.
Bye for now.
