Evening Fly and Pat :-D <3 <3

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

That would be telling ;-)

Thought that's where you were :-D

:-D :-D <3 <3

Evening Pat :-D <3

OK I will go home :-(

NO ;-)

ANYONE HOME ;-)

Well, I missed that! :-D

Not sure I'd like to be decked though. ;-) :-D

And some Christmas paper saying Dec the halls with Joy :-D ;-)

Hi Belle and Emma. <3 :-D

DNA updates are fascinating, Belle.

There are some nice cards this year, Emma. I've sent all but one of my overseas cards (kept from last year's stock) and I'm looking for the rest of them now. A couple of stores have some just made for me ... 'Joy' on the front! :-D

Afternoon all :-D <3

Lovely morning but very cold out here :-)

Did some Crimbo shopping this morning :-)

I'm not predominantly Scottish any more :-S

But I've gained 9% Norway and me French has increased to 13% :-D

Afternoon Joy & Ann btw <3 <3 :-D :-D

My lappy also asks me if I would like me updates when I switch off the computer next....what a silly question :-0 :-D

Hi Ann. <3 :-D

Nothing unusual there :-D

I can baffle myself at times!

For some reason they have included Belgium and Channel Islands in England, Wales and NW Europe, adding an extra 2% to the previous figure!

I would have loved some DNA from the Scilly Isles (it's so nice there) to add to my island blood. :-D

Ann, I'll pour you a coffee - I have Pick-Ups, Roundies and Penguins for you to choose from ... sorry, no cake. :-D

Afternoon everyone :-D :-D <3 <3

‘‘Tis dry n sunny here...just popped down to Tesco for a new iron...who knew there were so many to choose from :-0 :-0 :-0

Fly....mine computer does the same as Belles...being Welsh like :-D :-D then it will ask do I want it to start at midnight whilst I am asleep
:-D :-D :-D

Joy....I need a fix of coffee...you have baffled me :-D :-D :-D

I forgot to say that my DNA has been re-tested for the second time.

I still have 2% Swedish in me but no Norwegian.

15% Ireland and Scotland, primarily located in Ireland, Isle of Man, Northern Ireland and Scotland including the Outer Hebrides.

83% England, Wales and NW Europe along with a more specifically defined Cheshire, Merseyside, South Lancashire and Isle of Man (again!), the latter I had long suspected because I know that there is a project on surnames originating in the IOM going on in the IOM and my ancestor has one such name.

So it looks as though my 96% British is now 98% which includes a touch of Belgium and the Channel Islands which obviously accounts for the extra 2%.

Not many islands left around the British Isles for me to drag out rellies from. :-D

I can't decide whether that is good or bad.

True island blood? Did we in-breed or were we exclusive? My mind is boggled at the thought of it. :-D ;-) :-S

Afternoon all. <3 :-D

Decidedly cool here - long cardie this morning for coffee.

One of our number was coughing and spluttering - the second one to do so recently - so I am keeping my fingers crossed. :-0

Washer's on and I may hunker down in front of the box this arvo as I have a few things to catch up on. Such a hard life ... :-D :-D :-D

Afternoon, Belle, Fly and Von :-D <3 <3 <3

Lovely and sunny here too! The sun always shines on the righteous. ;-)

My lappy is very polite too. It asks me, then asks me if I am sure! :-S

Morning Fly & Von <3 <3 :-D :-D

Edit

Ooooops Afternoon :-D

Morning Von :-D <3 <3
