Rita, I bet your daughter was thrilled when you reminded her she would be a pensioner in 3 years time....lol

Can you pick a few bits out of your dad's papers and put them on for us to read?

Shelly, I didn't even get any hot matches this time, wonder where they are. It's the first time I haven't had any.

Marilyn, I think we'll have to bar you from telling us about your lovely weather, it's horrible here, cold, wet and windy.

Mo, I could have had the flu jabs (being a carer) but I'm a coward. I'm afraid of needles so I refused them. Just have to hope I don't get flu.

Linda hasn't been back on since she went shopping, she'll be shattered by the time she gets back.

Hi Ladies
I didn't get to the shops Too horrible outside to take the baby. She's got a cold and cough so not a good idea. She slept this morning , but I got a 23 page letter from my cousin in Canada. So that took ages to read and digest. Then a friend came to tea and for a chat. Then youngest came to use the computer.
Finally I had a phone call from a cousin(found through GR) about some of the records I had found on the records on Ancestry the LMA ones.

So I am just on and must go and vote again

Linda :o) XxX

PS I had the flu jab as I am prone to asthma, but I am tjust a bit older than your daughter Rita

566 for Olly and 58 for Charlie

Linda Olly is 567 l just did another vote. Shelly I have only just got my hot matches they came through this afternoon I have five I am going to contact as they have my Horwoods on them from Mells and I forgot who I have been intouch with so I thought I would wait till l get more time before I do that.
Pauline my daughter justs laughs when I say that to her. she said she isnt too old but that I her mother got married too young cheeky thing.
I will wait till I get the papers from my sister whiich she is bringing with her tomorrow and then see what I can pick out for you they were in a box tied up and there were loads of them so we didn't sort them out properly so I asked sheila to see how many there were she said about 150 but most are about the work he did when he started in the building trade .
Linda I feel old now I wonder how many others on the GR site are the same age as me I bet there are not many.
I am ready for bed I am not going yet but thought I would get ready . our lights have been flickering all evening so I thought I better get undressed and also find my flash light

573 the vote is now.

I have been and done my shopping walked into the post office it was empty then got the trolley and went into Waitrose there were only a few in there as well all us oldies. so I was home here within half hour.
The ground is covered with leaves so it is quiet hard to walk as you dont know what is underneath I have got to know where the BT telephone drains are and the water ones.
I was surprised that there was hardly anyone about I thought being as it was dry and we are suppose to be having raining coming in later I would have thought people would have taken adva tage of the dry weather.

no one about just me on here where have you all gone ??????
