General Chat

Just missed you Huia, it looks as though the party at the home went off okay. I'm sure it was lovely to be able to get Phil to dance with you, even if he just walked it.

It makes you wonder why they put out such a lot of food at the parties they have. Did the other relatives have some to take home too?

Well, it's a cuppa and then back to the card making. I wish I was as organised as Ann and Jean, and finished making them by now.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Will try to come back tomorrow (Thursday) for a proper chat.

Hi girls.
Well we have got about 10inches of snow,and it's still coming down.
Roly went to get the newspaper this morning,and it was nearly up to the top of his wellies.

Hi there Tess, hope to see you later.

Sorry to hear you are still having bad nights sleep Joyce. Lets hope they can give you something for the pain management in February.
My son's fiance had a 3D image done of her baby. It looks like it is going to have a large nose, and that runs in our family. But S. has got beautiful
auburn hair,and she does not want what she calls " a ginger baby ". It makes no difference to me,what colour hair the baby has got,as long as she is fit and well.
Did I tell you,they have decided to call her Bella. I am not over keen on the name, but it is their choice.

I hope Jean, Caz, Sallie, Ann, Huia, Marie,Sylvia and all our friends are well.
I will be back later. Love Mo xxx

Bella is a pretty name for a little girl Mo I suspect it means Beautiful.

Joyce, sorry you have had disturbed nights. The only problem is, if you sleep in the day you won't be tired at night. But I don't know what the answer is. Do your feet hurt more if they get cold. Maybe if you wear socks in bed it will help.

Hope you have a better night tonight.

Ann, they originally were going to call her Pheobe,after me, but changed their minds. I was named after my wonderful nan.
I can well imagine that after a few sleepless nights, she may be called something worse. LOL

Jean, Thank you for your lovely card, it arrived today, that is 4 we have now. Posted some of mine today but the rest will go on Tuesday as I am away for the weekend.

Sorry ladies, another quick visit before I do my hot water bottles, make my horlicks and go to bed.
My son is staying with me (most of the time ) lately. Although I love having him here, it is rather draining. I seem to have less time to spend on-line.

Di however order some BMD certs on 19th November, first one arrived on 24th and the rest on the 25th. So I was really pleased. Meant though that I spent some extra time working on my tree, instead coming on the boards to chat.

Ordered three more BMD Certs last Friday, they should be coming out to me tomorrow. So will soon be having another spurt on my tree.

Will try to be back tomorrow.

Hope that everyone gets a good nights sleep and that the pain goes away for a while.

Tess

What a night it has been me up every hour with cramp ,and Jan with the dog throwing up all over the place ,snow is still here wish it would hurry up and go its general gone after two days but not now,will be back later mybe ,if anyone is going out wrap up warm and stay safe
Love Dutchxx

Hello All , I see from the posts you are all having snow, it isn't any better here ,
We have just had a big storm it poured down if it had gone on for another 10 Min's, the water would have come into my patio which would have been awful.
I had to go out after it had eased off to clear out some of the drains so that the water could get away it was flowing into our little creek and that was pouring into the Fish Pond it is now a murky brown, poor fish I hope they haven't been washed away down the hill.
Many of our communities( small villages ) around us are cut off with flooding as all our rivers are in flood, they were sandbagging some of the homes near the river yesterday, the rain is forecast to continue until Sunday , but more rain is forecast for next week.

I hope the snow you are having eases off soon.All my veggies are sitting in about 6 ins of water I don't think I will get the crop that I had last year.
I am feeling a bit depressed, as you know I need to be in my garden not stuck inside .
My new Bed arrived yesterday and I slept in last night , it is firm but still soft on top I had a good sleep so I hope it will do me for some time now.They were having a sale on some of the top brands, as the new model's were coming in. I got a good buy but it still cost me $1124-00

Tess I hope your pain is easing off and also that you are getting some sleep.
Dutch I hope the same goes for you as well , i am having trouble with my right knee I guess I will have to go and have it looked at, I am hoping it will only be muscular.
I cant remember what name I used for Xmas last year so far I havent come up with a name,Maybe(((((( drowned rat )))))? (((Rain Queen )))))?
Narr---- maybe ======The Xmas Snow Fairy======.

Hi to Sallie, Huia ,Jean ,Mo also Sparkling Ann and not forgetting Liz .I hope you are all wellI I am well but sick of this rain and my leg is constantly aching.
I have to go to the christening of Ciara &Nea on Sunday at 12 noon.I dont know what to buy them for a christening present as I have only be to Baptism in the Catholic church this is being done in the Anglican church.
Any Ideas please--------
Must go love to you all Marie *** The Xmas Snow Fairy***

Hi Marie.

I read about the floods in our daily paper online. I have been expecting a good shower all afternoon as a black cloud was hanging over our hills. We did have a few drops, with great emphasis on 'few'. I could spit more than that, except that I dont spit, oim a loidy.

Huia.

Hello everyone.
Huia, you are right, a lady does not spit, the same as a lady does not pass wind, she does love puffs. (sorry for lowering the tone girls )

Joyce, I hope the dog has finished throwing up. Was it something it has eaten,that caused it.
I hope you don't end up having to take it to the vet.
Like you, we have still got a foot of snow outside the house. I thought it might have started to melt by now, but no it's not.
The road is like a sheet of ice, so we won't be using the car.

Oh Marie what a shame about your garden. You have spent so many hours getting it the way you wanted it to be.
Lets hope that the fish have survived,and not been washed away.
All the wet weather is not doing your joints any good. Both of us suffer badly with our rheumatism, when it's wet over here. Poor old things aint we, but it comes with age.
What about giving gift vouchers for the christening. It's a job knowing what to buy isn't it.

Tess it's lovely to have company when the weather is like it is at the moment, but I do understand about you wanting your own space.
I am finding I am biting my tongue,with having Roly home 24/7, especially as neither of us have been out of the house since Monday.
If I go upstairs, he is asking me what I am doing up there. I find I am having more baths than I really need, just for five minutes peace and quiet.

Bye for now folks, stay warm and safe. Love Mo xxx

Phoebe, whats with the" love puffs"and where did you get that one, I cant believe you told these lovely Ladies such uncouth stuff.....so madam we dont want to hear any more of your quaint saying you better pm them to me first so I can look them over and veto then if neccessary....lol......

Hope you are all well and managing with this lousy weather, you do need to be very careful it is so slippy ,and its started snowing again...roll on summer....
I am going to have a cuppa and an apple pie with cream.mmm see you soon.

love Jean xxx

I say maam, wheres my piece of apple pie and cream. But as it's cold could I please have custard instead.
And whats with taking my name in vain, you naughty thing. I hated being called it as a child,because there was a ship called "HMS PHEOBE ", now I know I am putting on weight, but I am never the size of a ship, a double decker bus maybe, but a ship, no..
I will check with you next time I use one of my quaint adages, and I promise not to be uncouth in the future >>>>>>>>>>.na na (pokes tongue out at Jean) exit stage right>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.......

Did you hear on the news, about the stupid woman from this way. She phoned the police, because someone had stolen her snowman from her front garden. She said it was there a half hour ,before she went to have a ciggy,and when she got back it had been taken.
She had put pound coins in for it's eyes, now how stupid is she.
By the time I got it home it had melted, but I am two quid better of. pmsl
And what I think was worse,was she wasted the police operators time.
A more important call could have been waiting.
I wont mention the town concerned, but they did have a dockyard there, till it closed in 1983/1984.

Night Night god bless you all. Love Mo xxx

I do hope Ann has had a safe journey today,and got to her destination in good time. Enjoy your weekend Ann.

My second lot of certs. arrived today! So have been updating my tree. Of course I've been "looking after" my son too (He is thirty-six!). He had already left for work before I got up. Then he did some shopping (at Ike-) we had been there on Monday, spent absolute HOURS there, did manage to get a few things.
Son went back today to get himself a flatpack wardrobe (Which is now in my hall, waiting to be unpacked). Got him a big bowl of soup to keep him going, as he was leaving again at 2.30
He has now gone to see his partner and children for a couple of days or so. But still phoned with a "where's my?" question. Luckily I was able to find the item in question (Tickets to see TRON in 3D). Had to phone him back to tell him ... so even when he isn't here he is causing extra work (Bless him)

I hope that Ann enjoys her time in Torquay.
That everone in pain gets some relief. That the rain in Marie's neck of the woods eases off and the floods go away, and of course, that the fish are ok.
Joyce, I hope that you don't have any cramp tonight, and that the dog is better.

Back tomorrow,

Tess
