Has the Flu flown then hoping?
I hope our summer is hot,it will make a change from ruddy rain ,more rain and even more rain.
I used to go to bingo in dorset with my gran when I was about 14,local village hall,all elderly people but me and I loved it.
I even won a jar of honey once!!

Kirstie, I think you mean "Mo, that's a terrible habit", I can't find sylvia admitting to anything "orrible??

My nan used to run "the over 60's club" in Ashford when she was alive, and one of their favourite things was to take a busload of pensioners to bingo once a year. I went with them once, and was hooked. It was more the fun on the bus that they enjoyed, the sing songs on the way home, the sharing of the spoils (back then the prizes were chocolates and bottles of cherry brandy!!), and while the prizes are now money, I still go with a couple from sunderland who are in their 80's and it's the fun of catching up with others that they enjoy. Ah well.

Winter is def on it's way in, the tree's are bare and it's cold every morning, but it's my fave time of year, hope your summer is not too hot. That's why we're coming in Oct, not too hot, not too cold!! FT :) (who's on a mad diet so I look better for the trip!!))

Not long returned from Zummerzet.
Baked almost to a crisp coming down the m4.
Could have fried eggs on the dashboard.
Hottest day yet and I spend 4 hours in the car instead of in my nearly refurbished ,dog free garden.
Watch my luck and see it hissin down in carmarthen/cardiganshire tomorrow!!

Lovely ode there Kirstie,I will have to pull my" tights" up and get working on another one.

thomas, thomas in tights
you were our shining Knight!
we were steadfast and strong,
the sheriff was wrong,
we all must fight on.
were all missing you dearly,
you were our friend really!

woo gals what a day! hottest day so far?
spent the entire day trying to make sure the tomato plants didn't dry up.

bingo's not my thing i'm afraid so i can't really sympathize.

EDIT
sorry Sylvia
Mo - yuck - yuck, expecting better of you.
Viv - where are you? not suffering with the heat i hope!

Well, only one person won on our table this week and it wasn't me!! still after the wrap I got on success I still have that "warm glow" happening!! Shall def drop in mo' although at the mo (sorry) I have the worst case of flu ever (even after having the jab 2 months ago, so for now am going to rug up and go back to bed for the day. OH is off to work with the dog, so I can just relax. Have a lovely w/end everyone, hope your birthdays gowell viv, x x

o Viv - you are devious

Who cant take it with them??
I can if I have my coffin made of gold, encrusted with jewels and then painted to look like wood.
Get buried at sea, and let them find out when they read my will AFTER the funeral!!!
If I had any to take with me of course

ah, Viv, did you not get the memo - parents always pay for meals out.
daddy dearest pays for at least one meal out a week for him, mummy, Alexis, Leila and myself and sometimes Charlie.
poor man. it gets worse - he funds the dogs dinners of Chicken Breast, Sausages or Tuna depending on the day of the week.

i hope you enjoy yourself though.

I have had a very expensive weekend planned "for" me
My eldest will be 33 and next down will be 28 on monday so I am having to take them,their OHs, my grandkids and my parents out for a pub meal on sat night,oh and next son down says hes coming too,but his OH is going to alton towers for her sisters hen do so I get out of paying for her!
But shes the one I like,you know ,the undertakers daughter.
Now Thomas would be proud of me having one of those on me books,think of the savings we will make.
And we all know that he always said he was very "careful" with his money.
Short arms and long pockets I called it and he didnt disagree.
Trouble is they are all 160 miles away so I have to add on the cost of fuel there and back too.
Oh woe is me,my purse will be runneth dry by sunday night.
Mind you we are coming back on sunday so they cant plan any other things for me to pay for.
Thank evans tis but once a year.
I ave emptied me change bottle in preperation.
I hope they all like pickled eggs,crisps and tap water!!

Just a thought (hello thomas) Russell Crowe is playing robin in the new movie, and guess what, they didn't wear tights back then!! You naughty boy you thomas!! I wonder if his son ever pops in? If so hello, I'm off to the success board I have no idea what you're all rabbiting on about, hope I'm not going to get to big to fit on the plane, look out Mo, I might try some resaerch in Kent, (plus I have some cousins down your way) so shall def be dropping in. Off to bingo toda, any wins will go in the pot for ales when I arrive!! FT AKA her x

Hi all


I didn't even take part on the quizzes 'cos I knew that I would know nothing ... and I was right!!


DING DONG

Yeah,and did you see the thread she had been working on??
It would seem that all she has done is find some births and a marriage in Tas c1866 that no one else had found for some fella.
Honestly,, the lavish thanks some people get for hardly raising an eybrow!

Huh! But now that you mention it ...

WHO HAS THEIR NAME IN LIGHTS THEN?????
I see a name that I recognise on success board.

And I am not talking JaneyCanuck here.
Or me come to that,,boo hoo,sobs,weeps ,wails

Viv, that was a little *Dylan* Thomas there, for Thomas -- thought you'd like it, hope he would have.

Mo, the delete switch in question was the one wielded by the powers that be. ;)

Oh, and keep the donkey away from Viv. She'd just fall off it. Of course, if she'd already talked its hind leg off, small wonder if it threw her.

o yes - those tights and that foil - swish, swish.
he wouldn't have approved of the earlier switch to chat would he.

bubble and squeak - yes please hoping - in all fairness i have actually just made some - how weirdly in sink are we!

Viv, Mo - stop it children! your both as bad (and good) as each other anyway.

Humph!
I saw that dig about donkeys losing their hind legs, MoKe..nt
Last phone call I make to kent for some time then.
Well it will save me some money anyway.
Best delete my number from your little black book then madam!
DING DONG.

Cheers Thomas, I raise my tankard to another good man gone, always ready to don a pair of tights to amuse the ladies.!

Sorry, but I appear to have missed something, who is Thomas?

30 years too long!! Everyone else has been back, but not me, too busy getting nursing certs etc!!
