General Chat

I don't know, have been off the thread for a couple of days and it all kicks off. As Jane said enough's enough. The best way to deal with this Piers person is to just ignore and not respond to any comments made by him/her.

Wonderful news for Catie and her husband ..... congratulations ....... I'm not supposed to saying anything BUT there will be a new grandchild in my family next spring. Daughter doesn't want the rest of the family knowing until after 12 weeks, which is nearly up now anyway.

GOOD MORNING GOOD MORNING---DULL, DAMP, DISMIL,HERE.

Catie & Andrew Congratulation, with this good new's-- This is the second time Andrew you have passed on info for Catie --I can see her giving you a job ---ha ha lolxxx feet up Catie don't want swelling,

I don't do knitting as i've said one and only time idid--the sock had '''3''heel's --i rest my case (((my mother had it framed))

I can do a nice dinner too Jane ......when i remember to turn the oven on LOL
Chicken Pie now cooking, veg will keep warm .....but i don't know if i want it now !!!

Maureen , congratulations ,how lovely that will be two babies ........now who's next !!!
there must be a third !!!!

Oh Liz, i did that once set the oven and went off out ,and then the electric went off !!! so no dinner.

Oh Maureen ,how lovely.More pics for us lol.Are you Nanny ,Granny.Nanna ????
Well Liz my biggest laugh (although it wasn't at the time) to do with ovens,was one Xmas day.I had my Mum and her sister staying.I had come down early and put the turkey in and set the timer for the oven to come on.Unkown to me Mum and Aunty Betty had tried to do toast in the grill and had fiddled with all the knobs.I went to check the turkey a bit later as I couldn't smell it cooking.The oven wasn't on.Mum had somehow knocked turned off the automatic button .Luckily I knew my next door neighbour was going out for his Xmas dinner ,so I rang him and begged use of his oven.I had to run round in my dressing gown with the turkey in the tray and shove it in his.About half an hour later I heard my oven switch on ,so legged it round to Trevors and whipped the Turkey out of his oven and got it back in mine.It turned out a treat thank goodness lol

I don't think I will ever have that problem Liz, the oven is very rarely on and I don't know how the timer works ....LOL I am living off salads most of the time, although it's getting a bit cold now, might have to get the instructions out to see how the oven works !!!!

Off to have a soak and get warmed up then watch a bit of TV. BBL

Whoops, just saw your post Jane, I am Nana, that is nana and not narna daaarling ....lol

Family gone about 15mins ago. peace now,
Great news Maureen 2 baby's in one day.
it's freezing again outside, I think there will be a heavy frost again tomorrow.

Well we did eventually get the pie lol

Have just let Toby out for a tiddle and its really cold out there now ,we had Hail earlier !!!

Fiona , i always think ... oh peace !! after the family have gone home ,little Katie is now crawling and still rolling across the floor , she has the whole floor to crawl over but she has to go towards the hearth !!!

Son and DIL have gone now. Just Ros, Lewis and I. X factor is on, and I don't care if I see it or not.

When I was first married, a posh friend of my ex. invited us to dinner. We had a drink while the PHEASANTS cooked. I thought there was a funny smell coming from the kitchen, when she got the birds from the oven. She asked me to carve. It was then I realalised what the smell was. The CROPS were still filled with CORN. and had sweeated into the brest meat. It tasted horrible. So we ended up with Sausages. So much for these POSH people.

We had a smashing dinner, with Sticky toffee pudding or Steamed syrup pudding, or my merangue. Big No.one Son had masses on his dinner plate and cleared the lot.Then a bit of each of the sweets. Then a cup of tea and cake No wonder he weights 17 stone.!!!!

It's turned very cold out tonight. Turned the heating up and very cosy now.Won't envy you walking Chester in the morning Jane,

Hope all went well for your meeting this afternoon Mel, not the nicest of jobs,but must be done.
I didn't know Shelia was leaving us. I asked her for the titles of the books on CD. Won't be getting them now.

Mandy, are you safe to be left alone, !!! not putting the pie in the OVEN. You silly Bugge#. and then when it is heated you are not sure if you want it.
Mant years ago. I came home after a session on the beer. Opened a tin of Fray Bentos. Steak and Kidney pie. Put it in the oven, and fell asleep on the sofa. Needless to say the smell of burning woke me up. Opened the oven and there was a cinder.!!!! Ended up with a sandwich.

Ros is NANNY. and when he wants to wind her up it's GRANDMA. She is so soft with him, he just asked for a bacon sarnie and she got it for him. In the morning he will want another, and that will be my job, then a bowl of cerial, then toast and marmalade. It will be Ham and cuecumber for lunch if we are home, or it might be Chicken Mac. or lunch at morriso#s He won't let us forget the cinema and a chinese. Thats all in five days. Glad we haven't got him for a month !!!!

Freezing here now.Brrrrrrrr!.I have my warm dressing gown on,watching the X Factor and then hopefully still awake for Downton Abbey.
I think I like Katie in X F best.
So you all have nice full tummies at last Mandy lol.,and now a restful evening for you ,and Fiona too.

Hi Mandy
Katie crawling allready how time flies,they always go where they shouldn't

Sofia is totally walking now,
still staggers ocasionally especially when she's tired, but rushes here and there never watching where she goes, banging into doors and walking & tripping over everything lying in her way. loves to play with the remote controles, drives everybody up the wall when she starts pressing the mobile phone buttons,
we have to keep pressing the buttons back so she doesn't phone anybody by accident,

Yes Jane I am having a good rest to, sitting at the computer, it is actually behaving itself. better had too as it looks like I won't be getting a new one for a while after all.
OH took the car in for a service and ended up having something done to the breaks , needed new tyre, and and it cost him £700 the lot, so we are having to watch the pennies now.

Evening Frank
I don't mind a nice cold morning to do the walk.I just don't like it when everything is muddy and Chester needs cleaning off.He is just like a little boy and has to go through all the mucky puddles lol.Life was so much easier when I had the cat.
So young Lewis will be keeping you in order for the next week lol.I'm sure you will have lots of fun,an empty fridge and cupboards !!!.Boys that age are like a bottomless pit.
I am so thirsty so off for a nice long drink of squash.

My ex was a chef, probably still is for all I know. We had pheasant for Christmas dinner one year. It was horrible, we were all spitting out pellets. I have to say though, he was a very good chef.

Frank ,i did put the pie in the oven ....i just didn't turn the oven on lol

i like Katie in X factor ,i like Mary too.

Fiona ,i think it will be fun trying to keep them away from the Christmas trees this year !!! don't you ?
Katie has just started crying if she see's DIL go out of the room ,if she doesn't see her go she's fine !!

Will say night night now as i want to see Downton Abbey .

Mandy we have just been discussing that same question to night, OH says we will need another fireguard to put in front of the christmas tree we have one already round the gas fire, I expect Sofia will want to open everyones presents this year she loves opening boxes and putting the lids back on.
yes I'm off to watch a bit of tele , It's not fair , I keep hearing from you ladies who keep dashing of to see Downtown Abbey and we don't get it here in Scotland , i'm Huffed.
night night.

Sorry Fiona, I'm watching Downton Abbey too. See you all tomorrow xxxx

Just before I go to bed I would like to say something.
I have in my message box a message from Catie saying what a lovely idea to send flowers and she would happily chip in.
Just to put the record straight.Everyone was invited to contribute not asked.

Good night

Are we off again. I'm getting feed up to the back teeth with it. If this continues. I for one will be gone for good !!!! Just leave well alone.

Didn't watch X Factor, but watched Downton, in between getting up and down looking after his Lordship. Wanted another sandwich, then Hot chocolate. He's now in bed watching TV. He will drop off when hes ready.

I am waiting to see Piers Morgan, it starts about 11 o/clock so a late night for me.the time I have read a few pages, and listerend to the Local Radio.it will be 1.00am.

See you in the morning. REMEMBER BACK TO NORMAL OR ELSE.!!!!!!

Good Moorning All,

Firstly thank you Piers for your apology, it is accepted.

This morning there is a very very heavy frost outside. The sun is shining and evrything looks beautifull.

I went out late last night to put something in the bin and the moon was shining across the pond so I ventured on to the decking which was very icy then. It was so still out there and just like a magical landscape.

Frank hope Lewis dos'nt wear you out this week!!
Make sure you get plenty of bacon in!!

I have now downloaded the pic of the flowers and shall be sending it sometime today.

Jane the flowers are looking lovely on the chest in our hall. I have put them in a big jug.

Maureen a nanna yet again!! What smashing news.

Hope Ann had a good day yesterday. She was going out for the day, was'nt she?

Don't know if it is Donkey Day today or not so could be about a bit.

Mel

Morning All,
I meant to take my camera with me just now as it is a lovely sunny and crispy morning.But I left it at home,and I could have got a great pic of the Heron flying just above me.Chester was an awkward so and so and didn't want to go far.He was putting on his limp.When I said 'Shall we go home" he turned around and trotted quite friskily back up the lane lol.We then had a game of footie in the garden.

This would have been the kind of day at primary school we would go off on a Nature Walk.Collecting different leaves and all sorts.I loved it,especially if we went to the woods.
