Oh Grace,all our lives can be boring at times. You must be enjoying your break away. How long are you away for this time? I am trying to remember,without looking back on the thread,wether you said you were in Herne bay or Whistable.
Do you go into Canterbury whilst you are down this way? The cathedral is lovely,and I love shopping there as well. Have you seen the ducking stool
along the high street,by the river.
Hi Sallie. Jean is so good at guessing what we all look like. She will have a shock when she does eventually get a photo of me.
I am having problems at the moment,it seems at the moment,that none of my clan have got a scanner,for me to be able to copy a photo to send.
One of my daughters,tells me she may have a way round it,so I will wait and see.
How lovely that your son came earlier,to see you.
I hope your friend gets on alright tommorrow,and the outcome is a good one.
Fingers and toes crossed for Jennie.
I am going now girls,got to have a nice cuppa,and as Roly is out will have to make it myself.
~~~~~~~~to Jean,Marilyn,Debbie,Sue,Huia,Marie and anyone I have forgotten.
Night Night god bless. Love to all. Mo xxx

Hi everyone !!

I had a lovely reunion last night.....and we seemed to recognize most girls .
cause that's what we were 40yrs ago .!

All different shapes and sizes, but what a scream we had , looking at old photo's of our selves we were like school kids giggling away.
We did make a noise in the restaurant but everyone seemed to join in from other other tables !!

Now we are arranging the next one for next year !! Hopefully .

Its a bit better here today ....but the forecast is not good for tomorrow ,so I'm glad I did my washing today.

I hope you all send me snaps of yourselves, Mo & Jean has seen ME !!
Now I would like to see YOU !! LOL
Got the grandchildren staying tonight ,so I'm off the get their tea ready.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and hope you get better weather than me here in Devon ....

Hi girls.
Oh Jean,I have only got one more route to try,to get my photo sent out. I have got to go and see my son tommorrow,he is my last hope. My three girls cannot help me. The only other option I have got,is to mail it to you,and Marilyn.
Guess what,my son has just rung,he is going to do it for me tommorrow.
My god how spooky is that.
Well Marilyn,it was you lot down in Devon ,we could hear up here in Kent,
making all that noise last night.
I am glad you had a good time though.
We had a school reunion,25 years after we left school. I could not believe how much everyone had changed. I am afraid to ask if we would have another one now,as I don't know how many of the original crowd are still
alive.
I know that we lost one,a few years after the reunion. Another of us has altzeimers. It's so frightening,when I think she is the same age as me.
And I have lost contact with the others,over the years.
You will have a lovely time with the children tonight,I am sure. They keep you young don't they. Even though with my lot,I am exhausted by the time they leave.
We have had a really warm day today,but it's not a good forecast for tommorrow.
Take care,speak to you all later. Love Mo xxx

Hi Ladies,

Well Richard and Christie have gone back, the house feels empty without them. Jennie and Michael have been here quite a lot of the time as well, so it is very quiet again, now that they have all gone home.

Jean, yes I am the same Sallie that have started scrap booking. I started last year when my brother was Ordained. It was the first scrapbook I've made. I was pleased with my first attempt. I've been getting along with the family history one I'm doing, but have got to the stage where I just can't think what else to do. I would be grateful if you could send me some of the photos you have taken. Hopefully, they will give me a few ideas.
I'll PM you my e-mail!

Marilyn, I could hear you all laughing up here in Derbyshire -- said to Alun, 'it must be Marilyn in Devon and her friends enjoying their reunion'. Really glad that you had a good time.

Mo are you and Roly doing anything special this weekend? Hope you are both okay!
It's going to be very quiet here over the the weekend, nothing exciting happening.

My friend had the all clear, today. So we are all chuffed to bits here.
She has to go back to for a check up in 3 months time, but at least she now knows she doesn't have to have any treatment.

Hope everyone else is alright, and that you all have a good weekend.

Best wishes to you all.

Love, Sallie.xx

Sallie that is good news about your friend,all our prayers have been answered.
We have nothing special planned for the weekend.
Have to go and see my son,to get my photo sorted. Our Jean has told me off,for not sending it yet. lol She's being horrid to me,come on girls back me up here.lol.
If anyone else would like to see my ugly mug,please send me your e.mail addy,as soon as possible please,as I will have to get my son to forward them on for me.
Love to all. Mo xxx

Hi Everyone,


Waves back to Jean ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just about to have visitors ,just popping in to say I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Maria, where about's are you in OZ ??

Marilyn xx

Evening all. Sounds like Dixon of Dock Green,when I say that. Ohhhh did I say that,showing my age arn't I.
Golly Jean and Marilyn,I was so afraid I would have ruined your puters,by sending my pics,but as Jean has been on here since I sent them,they must be o.k.
Are so,Marie,It could have been you Jean and I heard the other night,and not Marilyn as we suspected. Goodness me,we are a rowdy lot on here,
but I love it,the more noise the better.
I look forward to receiving your e.mail addy Marie.
How's your weather now?has it warmed up a bit.
Sorry to hear the grandchildren are still not up to par,bless them.
Hey up,I have just read that Marilyn has company tonight. Oh no ear plugs time again I think girls.lol.
Hi Sallie,Sue,Huia and Debbie I know you are on holiday,but just so that when you get back you know we have not,forgotten you. Oh and Grace
who hopefully is looking in.
Best wishes to you all. Love Mo xxx

Hi Everyone,

At last I am able to get back on the computer! We were out most of the day yesterday, it was very late last night when we got back. Alun and I got invited to our friends house that we haven't seen for a good while, Joy had made us some food, so you can all imagine the rest of the story. So very late getting home--but we had a good evening with them.

Marie, sorry to hear that the girls are sick again--hope they will both be better soon. Please give them a big hug from me. Try and get some rest,
looking after little ones is very tiring.

Jean, I've left you a message on Ann's thread. I'm going to get Alun to check this laptop, just in case there is something wrong. I'm afraid I'm not very good at the technical side of computers.

Mo, I loved watching Dixon of Dock Green years back, ( now I'm showing my age) we always sat down as a family to watch it. Hope all is well with you, Roly and the family, and that you have had a nice weekend. I was expecting a quiet weekend, and then received an invite to our friends house, late on Friday.

Marilyn, have you recovered from looking after your grandchildren yet?
I hope you have got your voice back--sorry I didn't realise that they had taken it off you. Ha, Ha.

I hope that Debbie and her family are having good weather for their camping holiday.

Just saying hello Huia, Sue and Grace. Hope all is well with you all.

Well I'm just going to check my e-mails, can't understand why I haven't received Jean's.

Speak to you soon ladies.

All the best.

Love, Sallie.

Hello girls.
Grace do you know the Jolly Sailor pub,in Seasalter. Well my son was running it,up till about three months ago. He then got transferred to a pub nearer to us. I cant believe we have probably driven past your camp site,
especially if it is opposite the sea wall.
I know what you mean about the shop lifting in canterbury. I was saying to Marilyn how bad it had got in Bromley. There is always a big Police presence up there now because of it. And also the violence.
Ooooh you are good,cooking a big piece of topside,whilst you are on holiday. But I dare say it works out more economical,than going out for a meal,when there are lots of you present.
It certainly sounds like you had fun. Are you sure the tears were running
down your faces,and not anywhere further down the body. I know if it were me,the tears would have been running down my legs.lol No offence meant.
I would have loved to have learnt sign language. I have a lady that lives at the back of me,who is deaf. And fortunately she lip reads,as I tend to forget she can't hear me. Both she and her husband are deaf,but her three boys could all hear.
I wonder where,Jean,Sallie,Marilyn,Sue,Huia have got to.
Marie my love,I have sent you an e.mail,I hope you have received it.
Love to you all. Mo xxx

Hello Ladies,
Hope you are all okay. It's very quiet on here today.

Grace so pleased you all had a good time yesterday. Like you said a good laugh certainly does the soul a lot of good --even in the bleakest of times, if we can see the funny side of life, it helps. I've never been to Canterbury, but have always wanted to go -- hopefully we will go one day. One of my daughter's friends went to Canterbury University, she liked living there.
Good luck to your granddaughter, she deserves to get on.

Mo Alun and I use to live in Beckenham when we were younger, ( many moons ago) We always liked going into Bromley shopping. My auntie moved to Bromley from Catford when my uncle died, her daughter lived a few roads away from her. My cousin and her family still lives there, been promising her that we will go and visit her and her hubby one day. We never seem to have the time.
Hope that both you and Roly are okay, and that you had a good weekend.

Heard from Jean earlier today, I have been having trouble receiving photos of her scrapbook pages by e-mail. At least it's all sorted now!
It was nice to see a photo of Jean and her hubby. My problem is finding a photo of myself on my own--don't like having my photo taken, so all the photos of myself are taken with other people.

I hope Huia, Sue, Marie and Marilyn are all alright, and that Debbie and her family are enjoying their holiday.

Speak to you all tomorrow.

Best wishes to everyone.

Sallie.xx

Sorry posted twice, so I've deleted one.

Sallie.xx

Here I am, we had a visitor this morning, now who would come visiting on a monday morning???? then I decided to do some more scrapages, then I went for a nap, just put the potato pie in the oven, now I am whacked all that activity at my age too !!

Jean,I also sent Marie an e.mail,and it did not go. When I checked her addy,I had forgotten to put the O in her surname,silly silly me. And I am more than sulking,I am sitting in the corner with my thumb in my mouth,and crying. lol
Hi Sallie,we are fine thank you [fingers crossed ].
If and when you do get down to visit family,I will have to come to Bromley
and meet you in town somewhere.
Don't forget I am one of the original Essex girls, But I do not wear white stilletto's,and dance round my handbag.lol
Bye for now. Love Mo xxx

Mo, p.m. sent
