Sheila,I'm so sorry that your daughter lost the baby.I hope she is ok.Good luck to you too for Tuesday.I'm sure everything will be fine.

Now,Mandy I must tell you about my friend Sue and her RATS.She has had a problem for several years with rats getting in her house.A couple of months ago her electrics started playing up and she could not use any plugs.To cut a very long story short ,she has had to shell out £3,000 to get the problem sorted!!!!!.No insurance covered vermin.The little blighters had chewed through the wires under the floorboards and they were basically living in behind her skirting boards !!.I remember when I stayed with her about 2 years ago I could hear the scuttling noise.(just got goose bumps)I will feel happy to go and stay with her again now lol

I went to Tes** earlier...................it was crazy .All the staff dressed up for Halloween ,stilt walkers looking like vampires ,face painting for the children.
I couldn't get away fast enough lol

I hope Mel is ok .I'm sure we will hear from her soon.

Afternoon all,

Lovely and sunny here today ,i'am sitting here with the back door open !!!!

You must have done a good job with the tanning spray Jane if its only the toes that are really orange ,is that where it ran down !! lol

Frank you shouldn't get your self worked up like that ....deep breath count to ten !! i think some times it needs to come out ,we hold things back and then some thing just triggers it off and we erupt !! i used to get really worked up at things and would shake with temper when i was younger .

Ann, how can you sleep with mice in the house !!! i'd have to move out until they were all caught lol

Sorry to hear your daughter has lost her baby Sheila .


Well hubby has turned the television on for the Darts ...and fallen fast asleep !!!

I'am off to do some cross stitch .

This is just to let you know Jane after my message on the thread about elder daughters baby unfortunately shes lost it and unless she is prepared to lie in bed for nine months I do not think she will be able have another.Her age was the
problem. I have had a huge form to fill in for my hospital appointment Tuesday just trying to be positive.

I am glad that Ros is going to get an appointment early Frank would like to know if you got the book titles although it is proberly the last thing on your mind then I do not have to worry was reading about the people taking away toilet seats for firewood today in one of the Eastend books.
Always wondered why all the seats were missing at school and the teachers were nicking them for firewood.

Big marches and things in Birmingham for Poppy day trying to convince younsters to buy them for what our guys and others did during the wars. Some asian guy wants them stopped but he should remember a lot of asians and more nationalities fought also in the war. I shall buy a poppy always have done.
Have a nice week end all.

Hope you are feeling a bit better now Frank and that the shakes are going. Good idea having an early night with a book......a good rest, if you can get it works wonders. Much better getting that earlier appointment for Ros .........good Maureen mentioned that. I am off for a walk soon......OH is at a match at Nuneaton today......he's just fetched the mousetrap out of the loft........second mouse this week.

I bet Hannah was checking her tan as soon as her eyes opened this morning Jane!! Glad it worked ok.

I need to have a sort out, things are jammed together in my wardrobe.

I watched the second programme about comparisons in seeking work in 1910 and now last night. People really don't know how lucky they are these days. Made me feel very humble and lucky.

Mel must be weary after yesterday so hope she had a good sleep.

Have just used my rotary mower to pick up all the leaves on back lawn, Sey the height up a notch and used it like a vacum. Worked well got 4 bags of leaves off.

Bar Humbug to you Jane, Don't start on me or else.!!!!
No I do get a build up of stress, and I suppose it has to come out. Poor Ros.
We get on average 6/8 charity bags through the door every week. If we were to fill them we wouldn't have anything to wear.!!!!


Certainly a nice Autumn morning out there, sun not warm but pleasent, only the slightest of breeze. Might go for a walk later, get from under her feet, for an hour.

Jane Report 30 Oct 2010 10:44

Is it safe to speak to you then this morning Frank?????? lololol.Hope you get rid of those shakes.Maybe you were stressed and worried about Ros and worn out from having Lewis for half term.

It is a lovely morning .Bright and Sunny.Chris has plans for the garden,but I'm not sure what.I have just sorted out some clothes and a massive pile of books I want to go to the Cransley Hospice,so will pile them in the boot and go and pop them in their collection bin.

Hannah says the only bit that looks too orange this morning are her toes.So I think I must have sprayed the rest of her ok.She said she will have a good scrub on the toes and they should be fine.
See you all a little later.

M O R N I N G Where are you all, I didn't come on last night. I had a bit of a TEMPER MOOD, flew off the handle, and was in bed, with my book by 8.30pm. Woke at 6am with the shakes, which I still have, When I upset myself, it seems to last a couple of days !!!

I managed to get an appointment for Dec 2nd for Ros, at a newish Hospital in Rothwell, Nr Kettering. I believe it's a private one that takes NHS. anyway it's six weeks quicker than Northampton. Thanks for that Maureen.

Lol, lol Shirl......it's a wonder HE didn't ask that as well!! I really was speechless.......It's not as if I've got the 'equipment' for it anymore!! lol

Jane, I hope you don't turn Hannah into a tiger with that spray. I wouldn't want to do it. lol Is it a coloured spray so you can see where you've done?

Bet you need that cuppa Mandy........hope Toby hasn't made that pulled muscle worse with all the excitement and playing with the children.

Sorry Shirl ,I missed you there.I liked the broom email too.
How are things going ?

Jane Report 29 Oct 2010 18:06

Ann,you didn't say what your reply was to the lady !!!!!!!!.I always expect someone to ask me that lol.I shall chuckle all evening about that.

Sheila ,I loved the chopped beef and pea soup question from April lol.I bet she was deadly serious too.

I don't know what popular names for children are around here.It could be anything.

I feel ashamed that I have never really taken much interest in the history of Kettering .I have been here since 1985 but it has never felt like home to me.
Although I have found out some things about Cranford Village.

I think my conkers are shriveling up .They have been keeping those spiders away!!!!!.Well they are supposed to lol.

Hannah asked asked me to spray tan her tonight !!!!!!Yikes ,what if I make her all stripey !!!!She says she will have to stand in the bath while I do it.
I hope she doesn't regret asking me .

Hi everyone.

Thanks Shirl for broom Joke, made me laugh

Thanks Sheila for your pics, didn't get the one of you only your garden and 2 pics of no2 SIL

Thanks Ann for the cats pics , real cute they are

Weighed myself this morning and I am 7stone 10lbs, lost 3 ibs since I started these back classes, I'll have to watch I don't fade away.

Sofia got a fright this afternoon for being nosey. decided to stick her fingers in the video slot on the portable tv in daughters bedroom and got them stuck, wow did she cry daughter no 1 had to ease them out, and stick little plasters on two of the fingers to stop them bleeding, they will be all right she just skinned them. it still hasn't stopped her pressing buttons on my Tv though.

Hope eveything went Ok for Mel, she'll be tired after the days events.
