Thought I had better pop in to let you know I am still around.
Been having a break from the computer, to give my eyes a rest. starting to see double again. If it continues will go back to Hospital.

We've been wondering where you had got to Frank , best to give the eyes a rest for a day or two ,it is a strain for the eyes looking at a screen .

Found my GT GT Grandfather on Probate ,he is down as a Gentleman and he left £284 ,he died three years after his son in 1885
My GT GT Grandmother died in 1891 and she left £23 6s 8d .

Hi Frank
It so easy to get carried away and spend to much time on the computer , I am a real sucker for starting to do research and keep at it then it gets to late at night and I can't sleep as it's all going round and round in my head.
perhaps you need to get an eye test. do you wear glasses when you are at the computer maybe your prescription needs changing.

weather dull but windy and dry keeping an eye open as I have washing on the line.
Sheila have sent you a e-mail ,please let me know if you get it alright.

Jane I watched that TV show again''THE-Pillars ----Blood all over the place
Still cant make up my mind on it???((I-KNOW-WHAT-MIND)) XX
Dave hope Ralph will soon be feeling better ---xxx

Ann just tell OH one more word out of him about the food & he'll be wearing it lolxxx cheeky and you doing your best xx

NN, as for rude people--We just ignore them and pity anyone who work's with or for them---xx

while at my daughters one time ---wind blew bird's nest to the ground
and there we were with these little chicks scrambling about----us trying to keep them safe--she happened to have an old bird cage ---so here we were getting them in untill we got mother & chicks back up the tree and mend the nest best we could.

I wonder if Ann is still cooking ??I am sure will do a proper job Ann.Is it tomorrow evening or afternoon?I hope it is all appreciated !!
I remember my Mum doing wonderful buffets when they had do's especially on New years Eve.
Frank ,it's good to rest those eyes.I thought they were tickity boo now.

David,I hope Ralph has had a better day today.Any news?
As for rude people ,I just think they are ignoramous's lol.There is no need for rudeness.So there lol

Hi Hello Nigglie I have just come on because two very kind ladies sent me messages but a friends been looking at my computor have been having trouble with it needs some work
doing on it. People really do love causing trouble Elisabeth. I had written saying that I had worked for a certain person and someone on another site made some very rude comments saying it was not the truth and my ego was big bet I did not meet the people
I said I had and went on to name them. I was horrified my heart was beating fast and I found myself deleting all my writings to people Just be careful I got a nasty person saying about my age I should be dead I left a rude message back and this person must have wanted to revenge me. Not this site but must have been a member of this one. I did not want any problem with this site and reported it to the one I first went on and had no trouble since. Poor little bird my Jassy dog keeps bringing me dead things he came in with something today and I said no Jasper take that out and he did bless him.

When I was young we had a cat called Peter.He used to catch mice and row them up under my swing !!!!.Another cat called Bella once brought live mouse in and dropped on my Nana's Pillow ,when she was in bed and it ran right across her face !!!!!!!!!.
Fitz's Mums cat also called Bella brings all sorts of live animals in,from little birds,to rats,mice and even rabbits!!!!!!!!!!!!. When she was in hospital a couple of weeks back ,Fitz went in to clean and clear her rooms as they hadn't been done in donkeys years.He found feathers ,bones!!,and mice nests in some of her coat pockets lol.Plus a ton of mouse poo everywhere .

Hi Fiona have not got your e mail and one from someone else and thank you will answer shortly. I managed to get someone to look at the computor but it was £50 for coming out for 2 hours. This guy wanted £250 for putting the problem right .I said that is far more than I can afford and he said Madame our prices are the best in town nobody ever complains after the work is done. He then went on to give me speel about how much parts cost etc
kept on and on so I said I will have ask you to go now because my cakes are burning but thank you he said I do not smell burning. He trod on Jaspers tail and Jasper sat
growling at him so he went saying hope the cakes are not burnt felt guilty because I was not cooking any. I had to
finish my Pergamano lace card it is very tiring work bad on the eyes it is for a friend and had to put a water colour
in the middle then my perforating tool broke. Lunch with my
friend was egg and chips cooked by daughter Bunty who told me the hen she had lay on the eggs for 3 weeks and was found dead. Beryl said shut it Bunty you will put us off lunch. I waited untill they went to make coffee and put the lunch in a piece of paper towel they called a napkin and
stuck it in my bag. My bag smelt awful when I got outside.
Anyway when this guy arrives will answer the mails thanks again SHEILA.

Oh dear Sheila, you really have had a horrid time! I just can't understand people geting SO worked up with people they have never even met!If people feel they can't help you, or they don't want to for some reason, surely they can say so without being unpleasant! to say such dreadful things,like this person said to you though is quite awful and certainly needs reporting, you really can't be expected to put up with that and I'm glad you put a stop to it. Poor little bird has died, I feel quite sad as it was only a baby. Shall have to blackout my windows like the war!!!!!

Hi Jane where is this man to do the computer are you ok
oh gosh a mouse on grans pillow I would have had a fit
running across her face poor Nana. Where did you meet
Fitz.s where does he come from. What a fun day I have had. I see everyone is very productive today must be me leaving spaces to write messages. Who deleted not me today or did I get deleted. My friend was on a web site
and her stuff was blocked out often . Was french knitting
what I called corking with nails and a wood thing and it went down the middle when you hooked a stich over.
Just biding time waiting for this guy and Mohsens brick
for Ramadan .

Oh Sheila ,so you got your egg and chips !!
don't blame you for not eating it ,don't think i would have fancied it ,you never know with eggs ,i was really ill after eating an Omelette abroad ,it really put me off eggs !!!

Wonder if Ann has finished cooking ,how many have you got to cater for Ann?

Oh poor little bird what a day for you. I hope tomorrow is better for you
Nite sleep well Elizabeth from SHEILA.XX

I am wondering where this mans gone will nip off now and see if I can answer the messages. Mandy what do you cross stitch What is Ann doing Amanda

Sheila, Ann is catering for her MIL and FIL's Diamond Wedding Anniversery tomorrow .
I'an Cross Stitching my Christmas Cards at the moment ,but i've done some lilliput lane cottages ,Fairies ,Animals i've done allsorts really .

I have tears rolling down my face.The thought of the chicken sat on those eggs and then dead ............and then to have the eggs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have known Fitz and his wife and children for about 20 something years.Our children went to school together.He is actually called James ,but as my son is James too it can get confusing so we call him Fitz.It is the first part of his surname.He has not long retired and I think sometimes at a loose end so we go to the pictures or lunch .Sometimes he will turn up with a chilled bottle of wine at lunch time .I love him to bits ,but he is a bit mad lol.A bit like Beryl maybe !!!
Sorry about the little bird Elizabeth.At least it is not suffering now.
Yes French knitting was that.We called it knitting Nancy.

My sister is away on a cruise ,and her cat was missing before she went.I rang her son tonight and he said Thomas was found under someones hedge.Missing 6 days, no food.Matthew(sisters son) took him to the Vet and he has a respiritory infection and infected eyes and obviously weak.
Poor Matthew has got to keep him in a separate room away from the dogs,and get pills down his throat and drops in his eyes.I bet he can't wait for his Mum to get home lol.

Ralph's trauma has subsided.
He's doing as well as the nursing staff would expect.
He has a tube up his nose.
He Has fluid on his lungs,an infection.
He has a cathetar into his new wound to drain it.
His kidneys are not good,seriously poor actually.
He is on a drip
.
HE HAS HAD A BOWEL MOTION.

Dennis and I are in agreement that we will give him space until Saturday pm

Oh poor little cat , lets hope he recovers ,he must have so frightened all on his own !!
Fancy using the eggs after three weeks under a dead chicken !! and having to move the dead chicken !!

Poor little bird.....a shame. Yes I would have done the same with the eggs too.

LOL Shirl......I couldn't have put it better.......he's shut up now he's sampled some bits in the pan......said they were nice!! Men......they should leave us to it!

I'm only catering for 20 Mandy, but I think others will turn up too. The do is at MIL's and OH has taken most of the food there today. MIL's fridge is full now and ours is too. The sandwiches are done and all I have to do in the morning is garnish and platter them. OH is going on ahead of me and I shall turn up nearer the time with the platters as there is no more room in her fridge. OH has had a trying time there today moving a table into the back room........had to take a leg off!! lol Friday is MIL's birthday and she wanted to go out for a meal.........so more eating!! I wish there had been a few days between! Tomorrow there should be an article in the local paper as well as the announcement and of course the telegram.

Off to do my hairy legs now and a bit of pedicure and varnish. Night all.

David ,the fact Ralph has managed a p** is really good.At least he knows the reversal has worked.Hopefully the rest of things will get better soon ,especially his kidneys.
Ann I'm glad OH approves now lolol....I didn't think you had hairy legs.Bet they are nothing like mine !! Night Night .I hope you have a restful night and will be up in the morning as fresh as a daisy.
If we don't hear from you before the party ,have a great time and say CONGATULTIONS from me.x

Well I am now off,so will say Night Night everyone xx
