Hi Dutch,

No sorry I can't help you, If you put up a thread on Find Ancestors, maybe one of the GR members living in Scotland will be able to. As you know there are quite a few members on here that are really good at family history research. Good luck with finding the information you need.

Just want to say good luck to Jan for tomorrow, hope all will go well with the op to remove the lump from his neck. Will be thinking about both Jan and you. Take care,



Mo, how did your darts match go last night? Hope your team won.


Hope everyone is OK. I have a few things to do now, so will speak to you all later on.



Love, Sallie.xxx

Oooooh Sallie, the three of us lost in the first round last night, boo hoo.
It was so unbearably hot in the venue, we were actually not upset that we lost, just to be able to get out in the fresh air.
Mind you, today has been awful. Very over cast, and it's now raining.

I'm sorry I also can't help you Joyce, I am not a brilliant at researching myself.
Will you be o.k tomorrow, when Jan goes in for his lump removal. Is it just a quick day surgery job, or does he have to stop in overnight.

Love and best wishes to you all. Mo xxx

Hi Mo its quick day job Jans brother is taking us as i want to be there with him,but he is not allowed to drive will let you know how it goes
Love to all Dutchxx

Sorry you lost Mo, but the fresh air must have been good.


Hope all goes well with Jan, Dutch and that you start feeling better too. Good to see you back on the boards.
I hope that you manage to get your Scottish query sorted out, sorry I am unable to help.

Sallie, I missed your birthday, hope that it all went well. it is good to have a little treat now and then.

I treated myself last week, went to see *We Will Rock You" at a Theatre in Birmingham. It was really good, went with two friends from school. We were able to clap, stamp our feet and sing along at times. We had also been for lunch at a Chinese Buffet Restaurant nearby.

Ann, my nre camera is a Traveler XS 4000 Digital Camera with 14.Megapixel.
It has also got Video function and Face and Smile detection.
I really MUST read the instructions. But have managed to take some photos of my Aunt's 101 birthday.

Tess

Hi Tess.
Well done on giving yourself a treat and going to see " We will rock you".
It's good to let your hair down occasionally, and shake your booty.
The trouble with me now is, when I shake my booty, it doesn't know when to stop, and carries on wobbling for ages afterwards.
My daughter in law went to see "Take That" twice last week. I think she's got more money than sense at times. Why watch the same thing so soon after the first time. Perhaps it's just me not being a fan.
My friend saw Neil Diamond in concert last Saturday night, she said it was a really great night, with everybody dancing in the aisles.
I like to go to see the old time groups, when they are appearing locally to us, I can relate to the music and understand the words that are being sung.
Night god bless everyone. Love Mo xxx

Just a quick look in before I go to bed. I've been busy making cards most of the day, so haven't had time to get on here until now.


Mo, sorry that your team lost last night, as it was so hot there it must have been difficult to concentrate on the game. Let's hope that you'll have better luck next week.



Joyce, it's nice to see you back on here again, let's hope that you won't have anymore trouble with GR I will be thinking of both Jan and you tomorrow.



Tess, thank you for your belated birthday wishes. I'm glad that you and your friends enjoyed your lunch out and " We will rock you", as you say it's nice to treat ourselves sometimes.



Well, it's my bedtime now, so I'll say goodnight and will speak to you all tomorrow.

Take care everyone.



Love, Sallie.xxx

Good grief Sallie, was you sitting up waiting for Huia and Marie to log on,in the early hours this morning. lol

We went to the garden centre this afternoon. We wanted two more rose bushes, for the back garden. I chose two beauties, and one had a lovely rose in full bloom. The perfume was heavenly.
When we got home, Roly was trying to take the bushes out of the car, when he caught his finger on one of the thorns.
Because he is on 75mg Dispersible Aspirin,to thin his blood, he bled all over the show.
He had to sort himself out, as I am not good where blood is concerned, and had I had to deal with it, he would have had to pick me up from the floor.
The bushes are now planted in their pots,and looking lovely I must say.

Well girls, I hope you are all o.k.

No news from Jean for a while, so fingers crossed that both Jean and Jeff are well, and coping, (((((((((((((HUGS FOR YOU BOTH)))))))))))))))

Love to you all. Mo xxx

Mo you just beat me to it, I have been very busy playing at nurses.... although himself doesnt need much doing for him now just needs me to be there in case... I have also been busy doing a lot of cards as my big stock has nearly all gone to various charities, and want more. gives mea great excuse to keep making them...but have to say I am really tired and struggling with my walkng my stairs seem to be getting steeper every day...everthing I need doing was usually done by Jeff and now he cant at the moment, so weeds have taken over the bit of garden I have , two of my plants have died ,windows need cleaning,poor me, so I forget it all when I do my crafting including coming on here, but you no I luvs you all muchly....love Jean xxx

Good to hear from you Jean, Take it easy won't you. I have a hand rail on both sides of my staircase and I find that it helps to be able to hold one with both hands.

Mo, your poor OH hope that he managed to get a plaster on all by himself. I bet the rose bushes look good I hope that they flourish in their new pots in your garden.

I found some new potatoes in my fridge that had shoots growing out of them.. So I dug a few holes in my garden and planted them. Didn't relly have a clue what I was doing eg how deep to plant them how widely space or which way up! So will just have to wait to see what, if anything, happens.


Trouble is, I will probably have forgotten about them in a few weeks. So won't know what they are if anything does sprout up!

It is my bedtime,
so goodnight everyone,

Tess

Good morning to you all when you come on here.

I went to town today and got my new upgraded (more expensive) hearing aids. When I got home I phoned my sister, but didnt have much luck with the aids. Not sure what I was doing wrong, but took the one out on the ear I use on the phone and it was a bit better. Maybe if I try the old obsolete one when I use the phone it might be better. At least it wouldnt be able to switch settings while I am using it, but I will persevere with these ones first. I need to see how they go with hearing people in the shop.

Huia.

Hello All first i would to thank you for your messages for Jan ,he had the lump removed and few stitches in seems ok but today its swollen up abit but he said it will go down
secondly.i would like to thank all the ladys who pm me and also telephone calls they will be getting orderd the end of next week and will be there the first week of august,i just had to do this one more time and the ladys who know this person will know why ,so i thank you all for your help
wishing everyone good day here were have hihg winds and heavy downpours since last night take care all
Love Dutchxx

Goodness it is warm here today. We went in to Cheltenham shopping this morning and had lunch in Wetherspoons. There was a group of mean (about10 of them around two tables and they were sooo noisy. We said it they had been teenagers somebody would have complained. (they were pensioner age.)

Off to Torquay for three days tomorrow so don't worry about where I am. Will be home Monday.

For goodness sake, I just lost a long post I had written to you all.

Tess, I chuckled at you putting the potato's into the ground. My imagination went into overdrive, thinking that your potato's could end up with Marie in OZ,or Huia in NZ.
Like you, I am never sure when I plant things, if they are going to grow or not. At least with the rose bushes, I knew what way they had to be planted.

Roly is very good at putting his own plasters on now, or the poor thing would bleed to death.
I coped when he had a heart attack, when he had the brain bleed follwed by the water on the brain, but show me blood and I am gone, out like a light.

Good on you Huia, for persevering with the hearing aids. You can tolerate using the old ones for telephone use, but lets hope that hearing peoples voices is clearer. Was the sounds clear when they fitted them for you.?

Joyce, I am sorry I am unable to help you, with the good deed you are doing.
But the person who is receiving your help will be most grateful.
You are a most caring kind person, who we all love.

Jean, forget about the things that to you think need doing. Tomorrow is another day, yours and Jeff well being comes first. You can only do so much in a day, and if doing your cards make you happy, then be happy my love.
You have both been through so much recently, and need to take things slowly. You know we luv ya, but we do miss hearing from you. ( Now I am being selfish girls I know, but I do miss my little sparring partner)

Just about to start our dinner now, Salmon in lemon and butter sauce, with rice and sweet and sour sauce.
Take care everyone. Love to you all. Mo xxx

I hope that Marie, Ann, Caz are o.k

Oops missed you Ann, enjoy yourself in Torquay, but just mind how you go love, no accidents please. Luv Mo xxx

So I decided to get the weed killer and filled a large watering can with the stuff, managed to drag it out side and put it on the weeds I came back to get another can full and then realised it wasnt weed killer it was M*****e G**w so now we will have the tallest weeds in the land....still havent found the weed killer.....and here was I thinking only Mo makes boobys....lol.... love Jean xx

Wrong Jean, we all make them, as I told you this morning you will have some of the best weeds around. You take care and don't be doing too much.

Love Caz xx

Edited to say I haven't seen Marie on for a while, I hope she is ok.

Oh good grief Jean, what are we going to do with you.
Your garden will look like a jungle if you keep making boo boos like that. lol
What you need is one of those adaptors that you can attach to a hose pipe, and spray the weed killer over them there weeds. It would save you having to lift that watering can.
You are supposed to be relaxing you naughty thing. Get back up them stairs and make some more cards.
Luv ya honey. Mo xxx

Hi Ladies,

I've been out to Derby today as needed to get some more card, so that I can get on with the card I'm doing, So had a good look around the Craft shops while I was on my own. It seems as though that the ladies in the four shops have ordered a lot of stuff ready for Christmas and are all waiting patiently for their orders to arrive.
.


Mo, hope you will do well at darts tonight. Keeping my fingers crossed that you'll win.

Hope you enjoy enjoy your salmon for your dinner this evening. I love fresh salmon, if there's salmon on the menu when we go out for a meal, I always have it.




Joyce, glad to hear that Jan is okay, apart for the slight swelling in his neck. As he said I'm sure it will go down in a few days. Please tell him to take care and not to go back to work too early.

Hope your cramp have eased a good bit Joyce so that you have been able to get some sleep over the lasy couple of nights.





Jean, thank you for the birthday card from you and Jeff, it arrived today. so goodness knows where it has been until now, as I know you posted it early last week. It's very pretty so thank you again.

Hope all is going well with Jeff, and that he is now starting to feel a bit stronger. Also hope that both you and Debra are both okay.




Ann, I agree with you about those men, if they had been teenagers someone would have complained about them. It seems it's a case with some people, 'of don't do as I do but do as I tell you' , it makes me really mad.

Hope that you and T have a lovely time in Torquay and that the weather will be kind to you. Take care.




Thinking of all our other friends on here. Hoping that you are all well.



Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx

Blimey Sallie I cant understand why your card didnt come earlier, it was posted early so you would get it in time, but I did have to ask a friend to post it for me as I cant get to the post box, Jeff always posts my mail and parcels, so maybe they forgot and only just remembered, still better late than never...I am quite busy now as most of my large stock of cards have gone so I am trying to fill my boxes again.... good excuse to do more....Hope Jennie is doing better now I think Debra has got very tired with all the running around she has done lately and full time working, she still does all the shopping for us.. so its telling on her...
better go nurse has arrived. take care
~~~~~~~~~~~~ to ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~everyone...
love Jean xx
