WARNING....WARNING.....WARNING......WARNING

I have just received the following email supposedly from Linda.

IT'S OBVIOUSLY A SCAM......... DO NOT RESPOND IN ANY WAY

Hope you get this on time, We made a trip to Manilla,Philippine and had our bags stolen from us with our phones and credit cards in it. The embassy is willing to help by letting us fly back home since we still have our passports, We just have to pay for our ticket and settle Hotel bills. Unfortunately for us, I don't have access to funds without my credit card, I've made contact with my bank but they need more time to come up with a new one. I was thinking of asking you to lend me $1,600 that I can give back as soon as We get home. We really need to be on the next available flight.

Western Union is the best option to send money to me. Let me know if you need my details(Full names location) to make the transfer,you can also reach me via email.

I HAVE REPORTED THE SCAM TO HOTMAIL WHO WILL PROBABLY TAKE CARE OF THINGS TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER EMAILS FROM THE HACKER.

Morning Folks,

Another dark dull wet morning here. There is no sign of a nearly full moon, the clouds are so thick. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Cath, Glad you read your emails, it was the best way for me to get the news to you about Rita. Very sad but she was in a bad way towards the end. :-( :-( :-( :-(

Well, my bags are packed and I'm ready to go, I'm leaving today. A few days away to come to earth and savour nature up close. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)


CAN FOLKS POP ON TO MY RITA THREAD AND 'NUDGE' IT UP NOW AND AGAIN TO KEEP IT NEAR THE TOP OF THE POSTINGS.

I had asked GR to put a 'sticky' on it but so far that hasn't happened.

Have a good day ya all !

Keep well , keep safe , keep smiling :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Good morning to all the friendlies,
Only just caught up with my emails and found out about Rita, how very sad for her family. She was certainly a very lovely lady and will be missed greatly.
I should pop in more often and catch up on the thread.

Had a very busy Christmas with the little ones (2 had chicken pox) and then thought we may have to go over to England and see my mother in law who wasn't too good over christmas with a serious chest infection and ended up in hospital. She is now back in the nursing home and doing better so fingers crossed.

Wishing the friendly folk a happy and healthy 2013,
<3 <3 <3

A HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. Lets hope that 2013 is a healthier one for us all.

Stephen, I wait on Roly every day of the year, not just his birthday ;-) ;-) ;-)
Stiil he's worth it, and I wouldn't change him for all the tea in China.

The fireworks display up in London was Brilliant Stephen. And made even better by the fact that we were at home, in the warm watching them. lol

Marilyn, the name Oldfield is probably Rita's daughter Rita's married name. And our Rita was definately called Dicks.
I hope that sorts out any confusion love.

A Wee Chuckle to start the New Year.

A Cumbrian farmer's dog goes missing and he is inconsolable.

His wife says to him, "why don't you put an ad in the paper to get him back".

The farmer does this, but after two weeks, no phone calls, the dog is still missing.

"What did you write in the paper?" asked his wife.

"Here boy," said the farmer.

Hi Stevey...

Hmm just wondering where the name..( Oldfield ) came from ?

I have only ever sent cards to Rita with the surname Dicks !!

Oh well I hope the Funeral Directors have it correct ...

I'm tempted to send in the name Rita Dicks ....what do you think ?
