Mel, I think they will do a tree length and width. If you go to :-"Ronald O'Neill they will answer any questions. I sent my tree via genes through "GEDCOM" thats a new one for me.

Liz hope everything goes well for the results of OH's MRI scan.

Did you hear anymore from your troublesome neighbours about the boundry?

Morning All,

Cloudy today and a bit miseralbe.

Thanks for the view from your bedroom Jane and the colours are lovely in the trees. Are they poplar trees at the very back of the pic?

Frank thats not a bad price for a family tree is it? Do you know if they just do direct lines? That would be nice because mine has grown sideways a lot which is where I don't really need it.

I think I am just about ready to climb those stairs.I just want to crawl into bed.The trouble is if I go too early I will be awake again by midnight lol.
I have my book so I will go and try and read as long as possible.
Night Night x

Ann, I didn't think I'd actually sent the pic from my bedroom.It all went a bit funny so I assumed it hadn't gone.I won't send it again then lol

My In Laws had a thing about clocks Ann.I think we ended up with 4 here after they had both died.We just kept one ,after many years of wondering what the heck to do with them.They were just all sat in the garage,so we decided which one to keep and sold the others.

I was just going to mention the ear protectors Jane!! If they hadn't warned me about the noise I would have thought it had gone wrong. Hope the process is speedy Liz so they can start the treatment.

Love the pics of Sofia in her pumpkin outfit, Fiona. That pumpkin is very well carved.....scary!

The trees out of your bedroom window look very colourful Jane. I can't believe how the trees look so good this year.

I didn't know any companies did that Frank. Save you getting writer's cramp! Loved your jokes BTW. lol

I have been in the city today, which isn't as nice as it used to be when there were big department stores and ornate old buildings. It is such a trek from the new development to the old 'centre' as well.

Called at MIL and FIL's yesterday. The latest purchase is a new expensive chiming clock. They only had a new one 2 years ago, a good one with westminster chimes, nothing wrong with it, but they gave it to the shop where they got the new one!! When they went to make a cup of tea we looked around and counted 5 clocks in one room. I told OH 'they have too much time on their hands'. lol.

Were they looking for your brain JANE> LOL LOL

I had one years ago, I have a blood clot on the side of my brain, from when a precast garage collapsed on my head. The noise is enough to send you mad.

I had that MRI scanner on my head Liz and had to wear the biggest ear protectors.It still sounded like a Jack Hammer!!!!.I found it very claustraphobic (sp) too.Hopefully the results will come through quickly Liz.

Frank I hooted at one of your jokes in particular today.I forwarded it straight on to Chris (at work ) lol

Liz ,I googled Lionel Blue just now and I think you are right he does have cancer.I will let you know about his show.
Is there any more news on your OH?

I bet you will buy lots of things Mel without thinking,and then suddenly realise that Mums not there.As long as you and your OH enjoy it ,and you can raise your glass ! My parents always had that Sherry and then changed to Crofts.I like a glass of sherry ,but remember one year I had a bit too much before serving up Xmas Dinner and forgot to serve up the turkey lol.Everything else was on the plates ......just not the turkey.

Have found a Company that PRINT your family tree, it appears they are the only Company that do it, they can access your tree via Genes. and have been doing it for years. They show you the finished article before they print it. Not bad price either. upto 500 relatives £30.00 500 to 1500 £60.00.

Hope you enjoyed todays Jokes. My old junior school friend who lived a few house from me, keeps sending them. They go all over the world via other friends.

I bought a BIG bottle of Harv*ys Bri**l Cream Sherry for Christmas. Mums favorite but I shall have to drink it all myself now................................

I know OH will help me with it perhaps. It was always a ritual for mum at Christmas and I did'nt think when I bought it.

But Mel.......did you do the ironing? lolol

On Wednesday,Chris and I are going to see Lionel Blue(Rabbi) at the Derngate Northampton.He often does thought for the day on Radio 4.He is funny and interesting and was the first Rabbi to 'come out'.He grew up in the East End.I am hoping it will be good evening.Then a couple of weeks later we will see 'Calender Girls'.I'm not sure who is in it.
It is ages since we went to the theatre.

Went shopping after all and got that out the way. All packed away now and I brought home a nice salad and half a cooked chicken, 2 pigs in a blanket and two stuffing balls wrapped in bacon. Should keep him in the other room quiet for a while. Oh and a pot of coleslaw. It's a greek salad with feta cheese and black olives.

Lol Maureen.Love the pun on Sh***y jobs ,and the loo!!!

I have just given Chester 2 worm pills.They are massive.More like horse pills .I don't know that he has worms but he hasn't had any pills for a while,and with his funny btm at the moment I thought It won't do any harm.

Frank ,I have nothing tucked away in my wardrobes yet.I haven't done 1 bit of Xmas shopping .Not even cards ,and normally I would have written them by now.Don't go peeking now will you !!

Maureen thanks for that will do it in a minute.

Have had a lazy day, reading my book and paper. Ros popped out this afternoon to get cards for up comming birthdays. She also came in with bags from Matal#n, haven't seen in those, straight into the bedroom !!!!

Glad you didn't have to do the Donkey Run today Mel. Do it as you need it, gives you a bit of a break

Mum used to call it a chittering bite Jane,
Hated swimming as a child still not keen on it unless it's somewhere abroad in our own villa pool, where I can go at my own speed and no one splashes, would allways be the one sitting on the side shivering when we went to the baths during school time , the teaches never had time for the slow learners.

Rain , Rain & more rain and it's getting dark and it's only 3.45 in the afternoon.
Had a lazy day to day , no ones phoned, no ones knocked at the door , so I am just plodding on with a few jobs and reading my book, daughter no 2 will be down shortly to use the broadband,
think I'll pop the kettle on could to with a hot drink.

OH Those green tights Mandy make Sofia's legs look even more bandy than normal, I've almost forgot what she looks like with tights on, daughter has Sofia dressed mostly in Jeans or jogging suits these days. and the nappy makes her look as if she got a bigger bottom than she really has, lol
I remember my two wore terry's nappies most the time, a few disposible ones if we were in the car.
Hopeing her mum will put a dress on her sometime over christmas, daughter says there's not much point dressing her up if she's not going anywhere special.
I loved putting my girls in dresses, at least no one misteaked them for boys, because Sofia still has short hair she often gets misteaken as a litle boy even when she's got her pink jacket on.

Afternoon all,
Been lovely and sunny here and mild too.

Fiona ,didn't Sophia look cute in her costume loved the little green legs !!!

Been busy doing hubby's paper work ,don't i just love doing it !!!! gives me a headache !!

Finished Jakes scarf ,and i've got wool over so now son wants me to knit Jake some fingerless gloves ,and can i get them done for this weekend so he can wear them when we go to the Firework display !!! i'am off to hunt for a pattern in my box of patterns ,don't even know if i've got one for small hands .

A Shivery Bite....What a great expression Shirl.When we used to swim in the sea in the evening,someone would get a little bonfire going and stick some baking potatoes in ready to warm us all up.It was scrumptious.
