Keep the messroom tidy please

Morning Daff and all:-) Lovely sunny day here..at last, after all that rain! Dog walked, washing on, am off shopping for grub.

*slaps on Factor 50 for the Bertmuda sunshine, paints nails,exfoliates, etc etc......

Hope you all have a good day. BCXXX

morning its lovely here but we have had it so most of the week i am recovering from shopping while planning my next few jobs
i am not carrying Gizmo lol he will follow just take the scent of mice and he will be your friend always .

Afternoon everyone... I have been busy tidying up after Littlie... well, just the washing, and her toys were left scattered all over her room. *sighs*

She probably won't be here now until October, so I shall miss her... and son will be like a bear with a sore head. Oh well, I'll just have to send him to his room, lolol

Well, you all look ready for action...

*frets* BC I would love to go to Bermuda... but I do worry over that triangle you know. All those ships and planes getting lost in it..... *frets some more*

Sorry Mau.... will Barry Island do???

Maz, I loved the photos, thank you.... Gizmo is so like my Rosy, only as I said, Rosy is 15 or 16 now and very stately, lolol Tramp looks like Tubs... Toby on Sundays, lol... that was almost 30 years ago, now. I reared him from about 3 or 4 days old.. He was saved by my son, then aged 7, from a gang of kids who had frightened off the mum, and skewered the rest of Tubs' siblings. He is how I got involved with raising young kittens, in Cyprus, and re-homing them... plus catching mums and dads and neutering/speying them.

Beverley, you look stunning *puts on sunglasses* but that Triangle... you know, it might really target you looking so glam... all those sailors and pilots and so few women? *frets even more*

Gwynne, she is a real poppet, but with attitude as well.... how to channel that without stopping it, yet keeping it polite is a never ending *struggle*, lol

Elisabeth, I was chatting about it with R, and my brother this morning, and the school she is going to has an orchestra... so hopefully she can have lessons, and we will try to find some pennies to help with extra, should she need it. We will get her the keyboard for Christmas, I think.

Mummo, ((((((((((hugs)))))))

Love

Daff who is resting, honestly, lolol!! xxxxxxx

Ooooookkkkkkaaaaay

If Daff isn't keen on Bermuda - how about the Bahamas!!

Not much different from what I hear. Just no triangle

Daff did suggest Barry Island...
....but they all begin with B...so Bahamas might fit the bill.
...Lol

Gwyn

Yiipppeeee

*we're all going on a ... summer holiday*

Carol - Satnavs are just another reason men can blame women when they get lost - lol

Eveving SM Daff & all,

I am pleased to read that SM Daff is resting - just make sure you do.

I am ready for any evening tasks, but prefer guard duty to latrines. (I have done that already today, don't want to do more.)

I have frittered away some of my afternoon and have nothing to show for it. I promise tomorrow I will get on with some gardening, then I will be ready for Bermuda, Bahamas or even Skeggy if that is all that is on offer.

Have a happy evening - and rest!!!

(CarolB - we bought a SatNav for a trip to the south and it worked fine until we tried to navigate the last half mile to the hotel. The SatNav wasn't aware that some roads had been blocked by bollards and we had to do a five mile round trip to access the right road!)

Elisabeth xx

*books a Brazilian and a fake tan...

* Methinks BC is going to match her baked bins tins*

Gwyn

Carol,

Thanks for reminding me of this - it is so funny and me to a 'T' when the children were younger.

Elisabeth xx

morning all camber sands is the best we can camp out on the sand and have campfires lol the beans will come in handy for food lol

Hi all

No, Bahamas or nothing!! The tickets are on me. How many do I need to book? I'm off to Expedia to start booking.

~~~~~~~~ to everyone

*packs an extra blanket to cover BC's Brazilian and Tango*

Do they Tango in Brazil?

Nuts!!

Beverley, I shall have to write a Doctors note for myself, as I can't fly just now. Actually, I can't be more than 3 hours away from the hospital just now. *frets* I haven't got a passport either. Well, I have, but it ran out when I was ill, and I haven't renewed it. And who would pay my insurance? at least a grand at the last query...... *sobs theatrically*

I shall go to Barry Island (it is famous, you know, Stacey comes from there, in Gavin and Stacey, and the fish and chip shop they use, which is my favourite, is to die for) and wave at the planes passing over. Just in case you are on one of them. Without me. *sobs some more with one eye open watching for reactions*

Carol, I shall go and have a look in a moment! Has the air cleared yet? Hubby has a Sony Sat Nav, I have a Tom Tom. His is useless. When we were last in Scarborough, I made my point by tapping in the postcode to the hotel we were staying in. Now, we were on the same road, no one way, we could have walked it in two or three minutes. But.... his took us on a 3mile trip in and out of all the very narrow local side roads... and good old Tom took us straight there without even a sigh of exasperation at the idiocy of the request.

So... guess which one hubby used when we went to Peterborough for the meet? Good thing I insisted on going a day early, isn't it? Wmsl.

Well, R is now awake, so I can go and get some washing from the basket to shove in the machine... where does it all come from?

Have a wonderful day, everyone

Love

Daff xxxxx

*shocked.....

Barry Island??? but...but......

*recovers somewhat.....welllll I suppose if we get good weather and close our eyes,we might as well be in the Bahamas and we could always do er...rowing and stuff? And speak Welsh of course.

Off to do things....Mwah to all BCXXX

~~~~~~~~ to all
BC
I doubt they'd understand much Welsh in Barry Island, but if you can master the language, that's great.

Re rowing.
I could lend you a coracle.

Gwyn

No, look. I've set my heart on the Bahamas so the Bahamas it is.

Here's the deal

I'll pay for Daff's insurance, everyone's tickets, make sure the hotel (5 star of course) is close to a hospital and, if necessary, fly Daff's hospital team out as well (may as well look after them!!).

If everyone could chip in a bit for my sun tan lotion, I'm happy.

Daff - stop trying to play hard-done-by - I can see you've spent lots of time with a littlie and it's rubbing off.

So, do we have a deal?

*make a mental note to take the satnav in case we end up on Barry Island*

EDIT: Forgot to mention my (well, OH's) lottery win - £10.00. Should be enough

Afternoon SM Daff & troops,

I am sitting here with my rucksack packed, ready for the trip to the Bahamas, if Beverley is paying.

I would like to get away from the wind here. I know the forecast was for wind down the east coast, including Skeggy, but it is bad enough here. We went out for a couple of hours and couldn't get back in the drive. We had to clear up several buddleia branches across the gateway!

Have a happy evening. And .... rest!!

Elisabeth xx
