She is on Liz's tree. Married Benjamin Lane in 1912.

20.15pm.

Mandy, Angela Tocozzi was Benjamin Harold Lane's wife. (Jane Restall's Grandson!!) He married her in 1912. I'm hoping that our 'chief detective' (Mel) is going to discover if they had any children, maybe, maybe not!! Watched 'Female Agents' on BBC Four at 10 p.m. last night. Did anyone else see it? I thought it was excellent, I didn't go to sleep once!! I noticed that it was on 'i player' when I was pootling about the pooter today, so was able to watch the first 5 mins which I'd missed 'cos I was doing my teeth!!! My word those ladies were brave! I couldn't have even contemplated doing what they did. 'Silent Witness' tonight which we shall record, am going to watch Lynda La Plante.

Who's Angel Tocozzi ??

Yes Frank give Shirl my regards too please.

Chillli for dinner tonight and I am just about going to do it now!!

Confession........................................I marzipaned and iced my cake today!!!!! then we both had a slice with a cuppa.

19.41pm.

Mandy you are a clever girl. Now why did'nt I think of that!!!!!!!!!

Back in now but can't find anything other than a marriage for Angel Tocozzi.

19.35pm.

Almost total thaw in these parts,but still chilly.

Neighbour 4 doors away's Father died of cancer after relatively short illness.
Funeral on Friday.

Poor Shirley ,i hope its all gone off ok for her and her family today ,yes give her my love too please Frank.

Been to sons for a cuppa ,my word the children are lively ,i think DIL will be glad when Jake goes back to school ,you know what brothers and sisters are like, they do tend to argue a bit lol

Cold Pork Lion tonight with Frozen chips and pickles ,easy one tonight .

Liz, you've soon got through your Christmas cake , hubby has only had one slice of mine .

Ann, son and DIL used to have a fish tank ,they are relaxing to watch ,they got rid of their tank as it took up to much room ,it was a big one that fitted into the corner ,did look nice when lit up.

Poor Shirl, I expect she'll be thankful to get today behind her. It's the sort of thing that happens to old people, but then I suppose some of us us are turning into 'old people', a fact, if you are anything like me, you tend to forget, or ignore!! Just wish there was something we could do to make it better. Day VERY dull and cold, just put Lamb into the oven for supper, should be done by 6; Christmas Cake nearly gone, shall then try to lose some weight!!!

Oh Frank, it is awful when you can't even get comfy in bed. Mandy's suggestion of a hot water bottle is what I use...... held against where it hurts......sounds like you'd need 2 or 3. I had to laugh about Conrad's slippers!! lol I wonder who got the other pair like his!!!!!!PMSL.

Hope Shirl is coping OK, today will be a big day for her.......send her our love when you speak to her again please Frank.

I couldn't see Liz's other e-mail either Mel. I don't seem to have the 'enable links' box to click on either? In fact, I'm getting a bit fed up with the pooter this week. Now on Ance*try I can't save images anymore.......well I can, but when I look where I saved them, they aren't there! Screen looks the same on mine though. Also can't use streetview as it says I need a later version of the flashplayer, yet when I click to load it and it says done, It still says I need the later version when I try streetview again and the old version is still listed in the programmes.....mutter, mutter!! Wish they would leave things!! lol

Yes I'm itching to take the decs down now, would have done it today only OH has gone to footie again and I need his help with some things. Dust and sparkly bits are everywhere and the floors need a good hoovering. No point as you say though till everything is back in the loft. It will certainly look bare here....we need more pictures up anyway. I used to keep tropical fish, started at age 14 and am wondering whether to get a small tank again......very restful to watch.

Very busy at the sales this morning, queuing from the motorway into the retail park this by 11.00am.....glad we went in early. Hopefully tomorrow will be much quieter with many back at work.

Oops I see you have Frank.I hope the service goes off well for Shirl and her family.

Dust!!!! Mandy.Tell me about it .That will be sorted tomorrow I think .Jess is going back to Kent later so I thought I would leave things up until she has gone.I do have all the cards down now though in a massive pile ready to go through.

Frank Bedford what are you like. ???I knew it was too good to last .I think you should have got your son to go climbing in the loft!!!!!!.I take it you are fit for nothing today and just sat keeping the cat company.I hope all the aches and pains go soon.Just behave yourself!

Give Shirl our love if you do get to speak to her please.

Thanks for the update on Shirl Frank.

I keep looking at the decs and thinking shall I take them down.

It always looks so awfull when you do, so dull and dingy and I have'nt got that much up this year. Think I shall just hang on another day so I can have another evening in the pretty lights.

14.44pm.

1.48pm

Mel, It dosen't realy matter. It was just a name that came into my head, from my RAF days in the 50s.

Just going to SKYPE Shirl.

BBL

Sorry to hear about your mishap Frank, as a fellow back sufferer I really do sympathise, there's nothing worse than not being able to sleep because it hurts so much. Don't leave it too long, get to your GP for stronger painkillers, and a scan if it doesn't clear .(Sorry being bossy boots AGAIN! think I'm talking to my S.I.L with his sciatica!) Sheila, I hope your leg feels better, again there is nothing worse than being 'in pain' very depressing and lowering. Must get lunch, have you seen the time?!!!

Afternoon all,
Cloudy day here but dry , we've taken all the lights,cards and decorations down this morning , it now looks so bare in the house ,and i won't mention the dust!!! lol

Frank , you poor old thing ,sounds painful, have you a hot water bottle or a heat pad you could use on your back ,might ease it a bit .

We're off to sons later to have a cuppa with him , i expect it will be nanny read me a story or shall we do a jigsaw puzzle ,the little ones love us going as they know we play with them .

Hi Shelia how are you now? How's the leg?

They have changed Ancestry to the new kind of lookups today and you can't get back to the old search. These new ones don't mean anything to me!!!!!!!

When I used to log into Ancestry it had my gt gran at the top of the page and I always said good morning to her. She is still there but it just dos'nt seem the same somehow.

Frank who were you looking for on the TTF board when you got abuse please? Can we help at all? Like we did for our Liz yesterday.

13.12pm. Better get lunch now!!!!!! just seen the time!!

Will come back and read how Shirl is doing later Frank thank you
hope everyone is ok

11.53am

Good morning playmates,
Third thing happened yesterday. When I got up in the loft to try to sort the heating, I pulled myself up on a internal wall that goes up into the loft. In doing so, I have pulled my right leg/hip and lower back. I didn't sleep a wink last night, looked at the clock every half hour. didn't get up as it would have been soooooo cold. So layed in bed with throbbibg pain in my back. Have sat in the shower with hot water running on it, also more pain killers. Didn't feel it last night due to the drink. It now hurts to even sit down. so will be up and down like a fiddlers elbow.!!!!

You also had trouble on TTF then Liz/Mel. I did a few weeks ago. one of the postings was so rude I pmd the person, and told them exactly what I thought of their attitude towards someone, asking for help. NEVER AGAIN

Will try to SKYPE Shirl. later today to see how she is. I will report back later..

Still damp and dreary here, but nice and warm in the lounge. The cat has found his spot now in front of the fire. I bet he thinks "Why couldn't I find that spot before"

Ros, has taken a pair of slippers back that she bought as a xmas present, for one of the boys. The slippers were boxed on top of wach other rather than side by side.She looked at the "TOP" one and liked the look of them. When Conrad opened them xmas morning, one was a different pattern to the other. It was the laugh of the day !!! Now she's worried that without a receipt they won't change them. I said just mention "TRADING STANDARDS. that should do it !!!! If not I will go with her next time. Then look out !!!!

Liz I have put the women joke on Chat!!!!!

Thought it was great!!!

Could'nt see the other one just blank boxes.
