General Chat

Oh fixed the on demand box for me so I could record Poldark instead of Mr S. I don't know how he does it!! I fiddled with it for hours the other night but did'nt get anywhere. What annoys me is he dos'nt show ME how to do it and then gets cross if I ask HIM to do it. Well not really cross but you know what I mean.

Off now to watch my programs so see you all in the morning.

Night.

Evening all, What a nice quiet day I have had. Ros got home about 8.00 pm. She had a lovely day. She sat in the car to watch the football as it was so cold. They had a BEEF WELLINGTON for dinner. Harvey has a secret way of doing his Roast Potato's and wouldn't tell Ros. She said they were the best she has every tasted. THAT SAYS A LOT FOR MINE :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Lewis gave her a beautiful card with lovely words that he had written together with a nice plant.

Glad everyone one had a good day.

I am tired, and just having my first beer of the day, with a nice ham and tomato roll.
Then I think it will be up the hill to "BEDFORDSHIRE" That's another saying I don't know where it came from !!

Good night all, see you in the morning.

Evening all

Well, I'm chuffed Lewis Hamilton won the race so that's made my day. Yes Jane I've still got some of my chocs left. OH and Sandra have eaten theirs. I shared them around. I had a lovely lunch made by OH and Sandra offered to do the dishes. It's been great being pampered all day, no one would let me do anything. I doubt it'll be the same tomorrow but I've enjoyed it while it lasted. Michelle rang me before too. She text me this morning because she had to go to work today so it was a lovely surprise when she rang me, we all chatted with her for a couple of hours so that ended my day just nicely. <3.

Sounds like you enjoyed your full English Frank. Multi tasking hey, how did you get on with that :-D :-D :-D.

Thanks for the photo's Liz they were lovely to see. I've replied to your email.

Good luck with the decorating tomorrow Jane. Good idea to get you ironing board down so you won't be in anyone's way now. How long will it take to do.

Hope all goes well for your sons hospital appointment tomorrow Mandy. I'm sure something can be done to help him with the pain.

Off to watch Mr Selfridge now. I record Poldark

Isn't it brilliant Liz.Great programme :-D

I am signing out now .See all tomorrow.

You sound as if you've had a fab day Jane! Ours has been very lazy and apart from cooking lunch we haven't really done much at all! It was last Sunday that Ian was ill Jane, and I had to put the lamb back into the freezer and settle for tuna and salad on my own!!
'M' rang this afternoon to wish me a happy mother's day, and for a chat! He's got one or two things on his mind and needed my opinion! so I did my best!!! He's turned from a difficult teenager/young man into such a nice chap, it's just so nice to have him back again. ' L' was always easier, but they're both lovely!!
We're watching channel 4. Timothy West and Prunella Scales going on a trip down the Oxford Canal. It's well worth watching.

Evening All
We have had a lovely day :-D.It took a bit longer to get to Hannah as there was a diversion but we were in plenty of time to walk to the place for lunch.I had the best Roast Beef I have ever had.It just melted in my mouth.All of enjoyed every single thing we had :-D
Then we went back to Hannahs for a coffee/tea and a sit and natter before setting of just after 4.Besides the flowers I had yesterday.James gave me a tin of 3 different hand creams and a heart shaped box of Champagne Truffles,and Hannah gave me an envelope with a booked Lunch at Langdon Court near where the 2 of us will be going for 3 nights in May :-D.So I have been a very lucky Mum today.
Hannah loved all her Birthday presents from us.I think everything fits so no need for me to search out receipts to change things.

It aint half cold Brrrrrrr !...Radiator stone cold again in the kitchen
:-SI just wish people would remember to shut the kitchen door into the lounge as any the heat from in here just seeps out.

Mandy I hope you don't have to hang around too long tomorrow morning.I didn't know that your son had Arthritis.Hopefully the scan will show something and that some treatment can be done for him.Does he have it just in his back?

Decorator here 8.30 in the morning..I must get the ironing board and iron back downstairs tonight otherwise it will be awkward with me running up and down the stairs with washing and getting in the way.At least we have a loo downstairs :-D
I have got Earl Grey Tea bags in again for him and a big slab of Sultana Cake :-DHe brings his sandwiches with him for lunch and no doubt will have his little radio .Thankfully he only plays it low so it won't be blaring out.

Frank I bet you are still full up after that mammoth full English .I bet it went down a treat :-D..Hope Ros was well wrapped up to watch the match today and didn't get frozen to the marrow.

Liz was the Lamb good? What was the fiasco with last weeks meal?

Gill it sounds like you will have had a lovely relaxing and chilled out day with OH cooking for you ..Any chocs left??? ;-)

Right I am going to fetch the ironing board down now before I forget.

Me too Mandy. Oh has managed to cancel recording Mr Selfridge so I can record Poldark as I like to see them again and I shall just have to suffer the ads in the other program.

For those who have been watching Indian Summers, they are thinking of making another serise as this one has had a lot of viewers.

You all sound like you had nice presents and cards today.

I enjoyed the grand prix and was pleased Lewis won. He seems such a nice lad.

Did you enjoy your footie Frank?

Gosh it's quiet on here where is everyone?

I think you did the best thing staying in the warm Frank, it's really cold out today more like winter ,i thought it was going to rain this afternoon it went over so black.

Looking forward to the second part of Poldark later.

I decided to stay at home after all.

I have just done myself a "REAL FULL ENGLISH" Eggs, bacon, sausages, tomato's , mushrooms, baked beans all piled on two slices of toast. I'm quite blown out now.

It's so cold out in the wind. I think I am in the best place. Don't envy Ros standing out in this watching football. !!!

Will watch F 1 and listen to football with my head phones on. MULTI TASKING !!

Afternoon all,

Happy Mothers Day everyone <3

I had some lovely spring flowers ,chocolates and cards :-)

Not very bright here today, don't think we will be seeing the sun .

Enjoy your lunch and football Frank, did you say you were having a curry ?

We're having a lazy day today , i have to be up early tomorrow i'am going with son to his hospital appointment ,he's having an MRI scan on his back ,he has arthritis and has had a lot of pain recently ,it's an early one at ten past eight so hopefully we'll be in and out fairly quickly.

F1 on soon so i'll be having a look on Gumtr*e while hubby watches that .
Enjoy your day everyone, what ever your all doing .

Afternoon all

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to everyone.

I got a text off Michelle today which was nice, she's had to work today so she's going to let me know when she's off again so we can chat online.

Sandra got me a Tiger puzzle I love Tigers and some chocolate to go with the flowers she got me the other day and OH is cooking the lunch so I'm just relaxing waiting for the F1 to start, I have to watch the highlights on the BBC but don't mind so long as I get to see it. I'm going to share my chocolate with Sandra and OH after lunch, they said no but it's only fair and I couldn't eat it all myself I'd feel guilty.

I've managed to find another child for one of my relatives who moved to Canada this morning and his wife and child. Unfortunately the grandchild was killed in a car crash. He was only 17 years old.

I'm off to enter them onto my tree now before lunch and the F1. Hope you enjoy your football Frank and everyone else has a nice day too. <3

That's kind of you Mel. Not sure that much spoiling will go on in this house!! 'L' has taken elder granddaughter to an important gymnastics competition, the other two are with their Daddy this weekend, but we shall see 'L' tomorrow, so no doubt we'll get all the gossip and anything else then ;-) 'M' and his partner have gone to visit her mother who is a widow and in her nineties!!!
We're having roast lamb today which should be lovely particularly after last weekend's fiasco!!
Horrid cold day, the wind's like a knife! so the weeds will have to get on with it!
We've more things to go into eBay, so I think sorting and seeing to that is today's job!

Morning all and evening Kim,

Dull here today but dry.

Hope you all have a lovely Mother's Day and are spoilt rotten. <3

Morning all, Evening Kim. "HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO YOU ALL"

Ros had a lovely card from Conrad and another from Jan which was to "MY NEARLY MUM" How sweet. She was on Skype this morning having a chat with her, and Conrad telephoned from Spain. To say the least madam is well pleased.

She has to be at Harvey's by Noon for the football. I now understand Lara and her boyfriend with her baby are going there also. So a real family affair.

I will get showered and shaved and walk down to the pup about 1.15 pm. K.O is 1.30 I can get something to eat while the match is on and be home again by 4.00. Then a quiet afternoon with the paper, book or T.V. I won't expect Ros Home before 7.00 or 8.00.

Hope you "GIRLS" have a nice day whatever you are doing. Enjoy your family !!!

Thanks Gill.xx

Good night all see you in the morning.

Sorry to hear you don't get anything for Mother's Day Mel.

<3 <3 <3 <3 HAPPY MOTHERS DAY <3 <3 <3 <3

I know I'm not your daughter, but I thought this might cheer you up. Keep a smile on your face you've always got us lot.

It's been a long day so I'm off to bed now. I've PM'd you my email address Liz.
Night Night <3

Just off to bed for a read. Good night all, sleep tight.

You must be so pleased Gill ,a light at the end of the tunnel after all the bad luck you've had recently ,fingers crossed one of the two viewers from today will make you an offer on the bungalow :-)

Ann, that was bad of the doctor forgetting to tell FIL to stop his tablet ,poor man i hope he soon feels better .
Fancy them getting rid of the microwave after you bought it for them .
Did you see the little crochet lamb in the Wom*ns weekly this week? i thought i might make that for Lewis for an Easter present .

Great sponge Mandy. I could just go a slice of that.

Florentines look good too Jane are you going to put chocolate on the bottoms.
