Morning,
Sunshine wall to wall, hardly a breeze out there. I'm going for a walk later so will take my camera. Hope I can find how to transfer to computer and send them on.

34 pairs Mel, You could open a slipper shop!!!

Jane I doubt an insurance co. will touch Chester. with an exsisting problem. if the would that would be an exclusion.

I've been so lucky, never had bad neighbours, I think its my personallity. !!!!Don't you dare comment Jane.!!!

Liz you could always watch that program on the pooter to see the bit you missed. They used to repeat these kinds of programs too on another day.

Having another clear out. OH is cleaning the wardrobes out so he can repaint the insides.

Yes Mel, We saw 'The Victorian Shop' last night and thoroughly enjoyed it, only thing was I went to sleep half way through!! but OH woke me up!! I think it was watching all that hard work!! particularly the Baker!! that first lot of bread looked, well....... a bit different!!! Watched a film earlier about Witch hunting during the Civil War, Oh dear, gory or what, particularly when they burned a so called witch! that was deeply unpleasant!!!

34 pairs of slippers!!!!!!!.Where were they all Mel ?I got a shock when I found 2 old pairs lol
Back from vet.He think Chester will need to be on meds for life now for his allergies.He suggests I ring my pet insurance people to see if he is covered for something called Atopica.I hope so as it would start off at £130 per month!!!!!!.
Chris will say put him down lol.(not really).He has had an injection so I think he will have a sleep now.
I will nip into town while it is still nice outside.

Liz we have some odd neighbours too .I don't say nasty but I think they could be quite difficult.

Morning Jane and Liz and A,,

It got very windy here too last night. Not to bad this morning though but dull and cloudy.

Sheila what good news that it is just a cyst and nothing worse. I hope it put your mind at rest.

Liz some people have nothing better to do with their time than to annoy others. Hope that will be the end of it now for you.

Did any of you see the new program on the Victorian shops yesterday on BBC 1 at nine oclock?? I really enjoyed it.

Cleaner comes today and I hope to get more stuff cleared out. I found 34 pairs of slippers that mum had!!!!!

You're right Frank, our neighbours are a complete nightmare, rang our Surveyor yesterday, said that he'd heard it all before and to insist that they have a survey done, then the Surveyors can sort it out. This is what we are going to do. If they don't or won't then we shall give them 14 days to do something about it or we shall consider the matter closed. As you say Mel, either thick or just plain nasty!! Loved the dogs Frank, again cheered me up!! Glad your lump wasn't serious Sheila. Fine day here so a bit more gardening and tidying up. well! maybe!!!

Hi I hope you have good news Ann.!!!
I had the squashing bit it was painful and then a aultra sound and then saw a very nice doctor who said where did I feel the lump and I showed him and he examined me and said we have found from the mammogram and altra sound scan a calcified cyst and it showed up where you showed me .I said oh gosh what do I do about that and he smiled and said nothing. .

He went on to say the cyst in my arm was epidermal and had to be drained and in my case removed but calcified
cysts were harmless.But needed regular checks.

I must say the breast unit at the Queen Elizabeth hospital
was wonderful so well run no problem just had the examinations done ,some waiting for the result but not long I reckon the whole thing took about 2 hours.
I hope you get good news Ann

FIONA thank you for good wishes do appreciate it
Sophie was so cute in that little pumpkin outfit .

I was wondering why when I typed in Pumpkin I got a man half dressed in very skimpy shorts and had been typing pumpking which was a dating agency. I was after a book about growing pumpkins I noticed they do kits for growing pumpkins but that would be cheating
.
I am glad most people hate mammograms I was ok until they tried to take pictures of under my arm and I thought I was being bent in two and it hurt when you get over that its the other harm and you do it all over again. It seem to take longer than I remember still the results today were rewarding.

I see you got the audio lists then Frank I am tempted to open my christmas gift from a friend to listen to mine .
It is such a shame the Eastenders all moved elsewhere and the Jewish people sad really I have enjoyed my book and took another one to the hospital I bought from amazon
my ho loved the books he wants some for Christmas.

I have no idea what you are talking about FRANK lolol.I do know I might need a little bit of help though with holding my tummy in.Plus a new bra to give a little uplift as it is a lowish front.Maybe a hoist would help !!!!!

Jane Report 2 Nov 2010 20:15

David ,you never gave all those details!!!!!.I did that once.I can't remember what it was now ,but I had obviously signed up for something without realising lol OH has never let me forget !!!!.If I see anyone in our high St with clip boards or anything like that I just give a wide berth and NEVER make eye contact .
How is Ellen?

Ann .Mel is having Dumplings (or dough boys)tonight.She might see them as something else now lol
Who on earth puts gravy in a tiny jug like that??That wouldn't be enough to cover a potato,and to put it your tea!!!!!!!!! .No locked door either .I think your OH needs an early night Ann lol

New dress then Jane. Will you get a RED HAT. You know the saying.!!!!

Glad you girls got on allright at hospital.

Thank you Jane and Ann for your pictures
Had Ellen to the doctors again this morning.

Got stopped in the High Street by a woman allegedly doing a survey
Started with my alcohol consumption.Did I know the legal limit for driving etc.What did I drink (TETLEYS) Then she wanted to know about my house.Did I own it and where.Then she wanted to know what I did for a living.I parried this question a few times defore she realised its none of her business.Then she asked my name and telephone number and postal code.Regretably I told her.
Wish I'd made some thing up or walked away.

What's in it fr them? You could be talking to any one.
