Hi hope you do not mind me coming on here I am all on my own nobody around for miles just me and the pig sheep and the horrid little white goat that looks like butter wouldnt melt in its mouth but gives me a nudge with his sharp horns. cute little soul though. I was so bored a minute ago I dug Matts lap top out. Playing solitaire.

How is everyone . someones got a problem like me Jasper eat something and even the pig smells better.I have
let him out twice and he keeps running off somewhere frightened I may loose him.

Oh dear am I in trouble Mel living two miles from the shops and me moaning. I could walk that a few years ago
the 2 miles is not a problem but the only food was eggs from the chicken and potatoes. Matt not driving with his leg and Jessica with no Mot .Aprils at friends Megans and Matts took Jess out with there friends I was asked but reclined the offer young people need to be without old grannies sometimes. gone off in there car. jess gets her car back tomorrow mot went through ok . Matts worried about his job with the Snowdonia trust he plants new trees ,takes old ones down and gets fur trees for christmas he wont be able to work for sometime or sing because he seems to be in pain and falls over. Jessica
says they want sales assistants at the local Spa shop so she will try and get work. I think someone asked her to do a calender also her being a pretty girl for some workmans club to get a tv for an old peoples home.

Ann Joan is in Dick Whittington .I had to name her five husbands . Nigel Havers, Orville Julian Clary are in it also. I told my hubby Ive won some tickets to see Joan Collins he said Oh I thought she was dead. men. I keep getting a ache under my arm will have to check it out it is worrying me. May be nothing but you never know. Jane Michelle deleted Caties picture by mistake and sent some photoes of her and Jess and other members of the family to someone on genes by mistake I apologise for that. So I wont see Catie after all.unless someone can forward it again please if not no worry. Raining today will come home Sunday Michelle is getting tired and made mistakes seing to my e mails today
she said too much bank work to do. Catie is very brave to take on that little baby it must be a bit scary babies are so tiny and make you feel a bit trapped sometimes I remember but the little chaps needs somebody.

Very sad Jane, Ros likes him as Lilly Savage. I can take him or leave him.

Had a phone call this evening from the woman down the close. She said how sorry she was for her bad behaviour
. She said she drove passed today at 2 mph. Did I see her .
Her husband asked why she was driving so slow. She said " I am being carefull" Didn't dare tell him what I said to her, because he would have said "I TOLD YOU SO"

Jave I love kidneys and liver. So good for you. You should try it.

See you tomorrow.

Jane

Jane Report 10 Sep 2010 22:22

Frank ,I am waiting for Paul O'Grady's next book.His last one ended with him finding out he was going to be a Dad at the age of 17.
Let's hope that Lady down your close has realised what a silly **** she has been.Maybe you have knocked some sense into her.
I won't be trying kidneys;I worked on the Renal Unit(Kidney failure) for a time .But have to say I have enjoyed a Lambs Liver Casserole in the past.I have done a few decent casseroles.But I would rather not do it.Give me chicken ,pork ,lamb or beef any day.Just not Kidney or Liver lol

I came on to say goodnight but everyones gone well its just me thats up late waiting for Jessica and Matt to arrive home then can lock up.
Michelle the older daughter does not know if shes got the job. I watched Paul O Grady did you see him give Dawn French that kiss on those jammy lips that gave me the shivers thought Paul was gay or am I wrong. Dawn likes her kisses saw her doing the same to another star cannot remember who. I had to go to the chicken house right at the bottom at the back of the house and was closing the
door and something moved behind me and jumped out of my skin almost. It was that dog Woof I went running in and a tin mug fell off one of the beams and frightened me again
I shall be glad to get home. Jasper then was trying to have it off with Woof .They went off together back in the garden
before I had time to shut the door so they can stay there was scared to wonder round after them. nite nite home on Sunday going to see Matts mum all day tomorrow so have a nice week end JANE and ladies .Catie hope you enjoyed your night out you deserve it love. xx

Morning Jane and Everyone.

You were an early bird Jane .... Hope you managed to find a few rellies lol

The girls have been invited to a birthday party this afternoon - a little girl a few doors away. So off to the shops to find some pressies. Having twins is expensive.... 2 of everything lol

Hope everyone who was feeling poorly is better now.

Frank. I'm so glad that woman apologised. Perhaps she will have more regard for everyone else now.

Morning Jane and All,

What you looking up on Ancestry Jane?? Can I help please?

Dull here this morning and I think it rained in the night as our road is wet.

Sheila you get lots of strange noises in the garden at night here too. Sometimes it's the foxes sometimes it's a mouse or vole russling in the leaves and undergrowth and sometimes it a dog from over the big house.

Hi to all my girls,

Lady down the road is coming to see Ros this afternoon about Tapestry. hope she won;t be embassesed, after out upset. I WON'T.
What did you have to eat last night CATIE. ??? I did Sirlon Steak, onions, mushrooms peas and chips with a peppered sauce.Very nice it was too. Tonight will be our usual Indian or Chinese takeaway.

Shelia, Thats what you get living in the Country. Things that go bump in the night. I bet you will be glad to get home.!!

How are you this morning Mel, Please try to slow down a bit, while you are feeling like this.
Jane, You sound like me, couldn't find your way out of a door, let alone round Ancestry.

SUN is shining at present, and everywhere looks nice and fresh.

Home alone again till about 2pm. But I might go and have a pint and watch. Everton v Man. Utd. 12.45pm kick off. She will pick me up when I ring at 2.30ish.

Hope you all have a good day. and kiss from me to little Mark, PLEASE.

Afternoon All,

Sunny here now after a sharp shower.

Jane, I said that you would be burning the candle both ends when you joined Anc*stry!! lol

Well, OH got the job visiting the inmates! Now he has to wait for his training dates.

Mel.... Mark seems to be waking up during the night just once now, then he settles very quickly. Boy, is he slow to feed. Takes him ages to guzzle his milk - bless him.

Jane... We would have enjoyed the evening more, if the circumstances had been different. As soon as we arrived.... we both wanted to phone BIL to make sure he was ok and I slipped off to the ladies twice to check. Then we kept thinking about Nicky and how much she would have enjoyed the eve. Anyway, we will go back - that's for sure. What happens is you book the table and it's for the eve. You are asked to arrive between certain times and then your food is served. The setting is very romantic and then having eaten you make your way into an adjoining room. All sorts going on in there lol. Greek dancers put on a wonderful display and then we were all encouraged to join in. It was a riot lol. Then there were guys spinning plates and a ceremonial smashing lol.

Frank.... There was a lovely choice on the menu. However, as my OH has a dodgy tooth, we stuck to the 'safe' options lol. We started off with little filo parcels which were filled with a creamy leek, spinach and feta filling. This was served with a little salad. Then for our main course we had lamb cutlets cooked in a Greek way lol. Can't recall it's Greek name. Anway it was very herby and served with veg. This was followed by a Greek Lemon Cake. A very nice light and moist sponge which was drenched in a lemon and honey syrup. You could have this with ice cream or Greek Yoghurt. It was delicious and tasted better than it sounds lol

Back to the ironing..... Can't believe how big that pile is and more will appear from the washing hanging on the line lol.

Well done to your OH Ann.
