Liz it must be very worry waiting to find out if your husband will be ok and what treatment he will have my brother decided not to have the operation but to be zapped which he called it. He was very tired after sessions and now takes hormone pills and he is ok. So I will pray your husband will be also.

Neighbours can be very depressing .I remember we had a neighbour who said we should renew a fence because it was ours and after looking at the plans we saw that fence was there responsibilty but no they let it rot and it fell down and lay on our grass for ages. We tried everything having replaced the fence the other side of the garden. These neighbours were threatening us with all kind of things in the end we replaced the fence just for peace and to improve our garden. We had iron posts sunk in and a very expensive fence and then
got a letter saying we had ruined a tree that was close by. We had to a send them a solicitor s letter but in the end they were so horrible we moved.

My grandads relatives come from Wantage and areas and my grannie came from Stroud Glos and lived in Cleobury Mortimer and Shelsey Beauchamp
lovely names .

I did jury service some boring case to do with stealing rabbits and I had to sit in a room for days with people I did not like except for one lady and discuss this case and it went on for ever because everyone liked the person who was accused of the crime but she seemed guilty of nicking rabbits from another persons farm to sell at a market.

Thank you for your good wishes and hope everything goes well for you with the selling of the house and move etc

Thanks to everyone for your good wishes I feel better did not want another hospital stay and all the rest that worried me.So it was good news.

Can I please have some jokes and pictures my aol was not changed I had a lady sending me horror pictures and had to stop her I did not mean anyone on
this thread site was sending me bad pictures. Pictures you all were kindly sending me and jokes were getting lost into spam because of hers.

Iwent a walk today and found a man cooking wild mushrooms he had a little cooker oil and salt and was munching these very brown huge mushrooms it amused me.

I don't know how to describe it really Sheila.It is nice.Maybe I will send a pic of me in it when I wear it to the wedding at the end of the month.

Just opened a letter ,from "Come Dine With Me " people.They are looking for people in this area to go on the programme.It is one of my favourite progs,but I wouldn't have the nerve I'm afraid.I would like the "Coach Trip" programme though.That would be fun.
Must go now as Chris is just in and we need to eat quickly and then be away by 6.30.
Tatty Bye for now.

Jane your dress sounds lovely red with beading what is the top like .
Enjoy your night out Jane
Thank you for the good wishes.

Now ,the big decision.Do I wear a coat or just take my umberella.I hate wearing a coat to the theatre as you either have have it on your lap or rolled up on the floor.Plus it always makes me hot having to keep it on my lap.I think it might be the brolly and crossed fingers it doesn't P it down .It is just a shortish walk from the carpark or a quick dash lol

I am still waiting to be called for Jury Service !!!!!
Shirl we had Chester tested for food allergies some years ago and Chicken and Lamb came up quite high as did some cereals
We pay £30 a month insurance for him .If he isn't covered he can stay on a low dose steroids his spray and Piriton.The only trouble with that is I won't be able to give him his medicine for his Arthritic leg.I don't think Chris would be happy paying out £130 a month .I think that would be for so long and then the dosage is gradually reduced so the price would drop.

Ear plugs at the ready Maureen lol.I bet you will have a great time

I think Frank is being a bit frisky today.He needs to go for that walk he planned before the rain came !!!!!!!!

Must go and stir the spag bol.

I think you have to declare somewhere when selling your house if you have 'difficult' neighbours. Perhaps it's the ones with ASBO's.

I only did jury service in January Liz. Wasn't looking forward to it but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, I certainly don't want to do it again though, unless I have to.

Bosh as well Frank, I don't think anyone will want to live next door to our neighbours from hell, but you never know! Jane, don't forget to tell me all about Lionel Blue, he always sounds such a lovely man, I hope you have a good evening. I've NEVER done Jury Service Maureen, OH has years ago, and he was the only person to find the accused Not Guilty! that, of course, was in the days when it had to be a unanimous vote! so it held it up for hours! can't remember what happened, typical of OH though, never says yes when he means no! time for COT, talk again soon!

Hi All-- sunny bright not to coldxxxx

Fiona--how about some nice coffee they can make & cookies that way everyone would have some for thier breaks---xxx---

Jane go google in Dog Allergies----a lot of thing --dust /mould.fle bites would you believe even thryod??? xx same symt!!(spell) chester has been having--gas tummy upset etc .

Mel that's some shoes will you give them to a home?

Good new Sheila-- I hope the rest are the same---

mandy I made chilli from scratch no packet ---The monsters liked it xx
Good EM Frank ha ha ----

Mandy, I had the same problem with the Christmas Video, couldn't get any sound, if your son sorts it perhaps you can tell me how to get the sound. Oh no, just noticed, neither speaker is on the table now, Alfie must have gone again and taken them both with him this time !!!! I must move the connector before he goes again. He was fast asleep on there the other day and was snoring quite loud !!!

I do hope your insurance covers Chester Jane, otherwise join my club, £59 last week, this vet even charged me for the plasters, £8 that's more than £1 a plaster and they don't even stick. The vet the week before didn't charge me.

That's good news Sheila, you must be relieved, after all the bad news you've had lately I bet you were expecting the worst.

I'm off to daughters this weekend, we're having a family get together firework night with lots of fireworks and all the usual 5th November food. Looking forward to it. Get your ear plugs out Jane, I expect we'll be doing the old singstar on Saturday night .....lol

I can't believe this, I've only got another summons for jury service. I'll fill in the excuse bit, you don't have to do it again, I'm sure until after 2 years.

Fiona, When I was treated for my stroke and afterwards at the reseach centre. I bought a couple of boxs of biscuits for the staff. They can have them with their coffee break, or when they fancy a nibble. !!! Not that sort of nibble JANE !!!!

Liz, made me smile about kai wash did you mean BOSH !!!
You can go on all you like, thats what we are here for, to listern to our friends moans, if they want too.

Jane I have threatened you before, you carry on insulting me and you will be in for a SMACK. and don't even say you might enjoy it. !!! Regards to the cost of medication for the dog, I just couldn't afford that sort of money. He would have to go, I am afraid.

Thanks Jane
Thats a good idea about the wine,

Sorry Fiona ,didn't see you there.
Janice and I gave the girls(staff) some wine /sherry at Xmas .They all liked a tipple .They always seemed to have loads of sweets .It is always awkward knowing what to do ,but I know they will be grateful with whatever you choose.

My Dad called it Champing at the Bit I think Liz lol.I don't think my neighbours would be anything as bad as yours,but they are definitely a strange family.I think a few people who know them don't know quite what to make of them so it's 's not just me thank heavens.
I must go and wash my hair and get tea on, ready to eat about 5.30 as it is Lionel Blue tonight

Just read that you said that you had neighbours that you felt could be tricky Jane, I just hope for your sake that they don't get it into their heads to be really impossible, makes life SO wearing!! House Agent has just bought someone to look round our house!!!! wait till they hear about neighbour, that'll put the kai wash on that! also OH has to go to hospital, AND we have to find somewhere else to live!! but there you go, you have to start somewhere!!! Miserable afternoon, wet and horrible, am about to post another war poem, I tend to get the bit between my teeth, so musn't keep on!!!

Afternoon All
Dark and has been raining all day.
went to meet friends for coffee this morning and then as Daughter no 1 is having a days holl today I don't have Sofia so I treated myself to lunch out
then went and bought some gray trousers to replace the pair I spoiled with bleach. and had a good look around the town.

Jane , when your mum was in the care home did you buy a present for the staff at Christmas like sweets or biscuites, this is the first real christmas dad has in care, last year it was only respite.
I really can't buy indervidual gifts as there's so many different people who work there. WHAT DO YOU THINK ? I used to buy a box of biscutes for the day centre but there was only about 6 members of staff I knew

Who turned the lights off????? It has become so dark ,all that lovely sunshine has gone and I think it is just starting to rain

I bet you and your old cat make a lovely pair Frank,a bit wobbly and gummy lol
Only Joking Only Joking lololol

I have bought my Xmas cards today !

We've now got rain !!!

Frank , i think its good to share the cost of christmas when there's several of you ,that way you can get a few special things that perhaps you wouldn't buy just for yourself , every year things get more expensive, last year we did wonder if we might have a Goose but when we saw the price !!! we changed our minds .

Come over very cloudy, and looks like we will get rain, so will put it off walk till later, and see how the weather goes.
Ros has popped to Morris#ns. She wants to start getting bits, to take to No. 2 sons for Christmas. We all try to share the cost. Jans daughter is supplying the puddings and cheese and biscuits, we always supply the veg, fruit and chochs, nuts. Smoked salmon Beef, Pork, Ham, and any others bits and pieces. No 2 Son supplies the Turkey. No 1 son. Chips in for his Family. It's too expensive to expect one person to pay for the lot. Nobody in the Family drink, apart from me, so I'll take my own beer and wine. It's only 7 weeks off now, so not long to spread the costs.

I have been so lucky with my pets over the years, Penny our black poodle had an ear infection, and had to have a hole drilled into her head behind the ear so that she could hear, it had to be cleaned daily, to keep the infection away. but I think the other two poodles didn't cost me a penny, one got run over, when she dashed out throught our front hedge, the other died of old age. My first cat had to be put down due to old age and dissability. Our present cat, just keeps going. He's starting to loose his teeth, but still magages. A bit like ME !!!!

Afternoon all,

Goodness were has the morning gone ,i don't seem to have done a lot and now its nearly lunch time !!

Well the wind did eventually drop last night ,woke up to see one of the neighbours wheelie bins in the middle of the road !!

That a lot of slippers Mel, i remember finding lots of slippers after Dad had gone , i think a lot were probably christmas and birthday presents,he just carried on wearing his old ones !!

I recorded the Victorian shop programme last night ,so might watch it tonight as the football is on !!

Wow Jane £130 a month !! still we have dogs we have to look after them ,we think the world of Toby and would pay what ever to keep him well ,he's my company through the day ,and i chatter away to him .

Enjoy your walk Frank, and mind how you go !!

Frank, Are you boasting again?!!!!! You're right Mel I could watch the bits I missed, I always forget about that, Thanks for reminding me.
