Hi Jean, Thanks for the card photos, all lovely as usual, sorry not to have replied I am trying to get on with the wedding scrap book which is taking a lot of my time. :-)

Hi Mummo.

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday Mo, hope you have a great day and lots of cards and pressies. Hope you've received my card, it was posted early on Saturday morning.


Hello Mummo, lovely to see you on here. Hope everything is alright with you, your hubby and family. Take care.


I haven't been on for quite a few days, I've been trying to catch up with a few jobs that needed doing for a while. I'm slowly getting there, thank goodness.......it's lovely to have a 'clear head' again and no muddled thoughts. Hope you all know what I mean, that's the only way I can put it.lol!!
I've made some more Christmas cards and also two Thinking of You cards for my cousin's daughter.....the first personal cards I've been able to make for ages.




I'm going to do some baking now, so will try and look in later on today.


Love and best wishes to all my friends on here and thank you for all your support and friendship over the long months. It's very much appreciated.



Sending love and special wishes to Caz, hope she will feel a bit better soon.

Cooee my lovely friends,
Thank you all for the birthday wishes, it has been a wonderful day.
I had two pairs of earrings, and 12 roses from Roly. Bath products from bo*ts, more flowers than the eyes can conceive, and a voucher for Deben*ams.
Thank you so much for the lovely birthday cards, I don't think I have had this many in many a year.
I am sorry to be so late tonight, but I have been so busy, making tea etc for all the visitors, and then we had darts.
I will say goodnight god bless, love to all, Mo xxx

belated,


but



HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mo
xxxx


It looks as though you had a great day :-D

I did a shift in the new Hospice shop this afternoon, standing in for another woman. When I arrived I was told it was cash only as we didnt have a till. Somebody had tried to alter the clock on it (so and so daylight 'saving') and as a result they couldnt get into the till, so somebody took it away to repair. The ladies said it meant we couldnt take eftpos but when another lady came in the afternoon she said we should be able to and sure enough we could. Not that we get as many customers in the new shop as we did in Papakura.

Tomorrow I will visit Phil after lunch and on Thursday I will be going to Hamilton, taking the other gt grandmother with me to visit our gt grandson. He took his first steps a few days ago, less than 10 months old. His mother and grandmother were also early walkers.

Hi all

Any idea why you get fewer customers at the new shop Huia? Is it in a less convenient place for people to get to? I would have thought that your regular customers would have followed you.

What are eftpos?

Your Gt grandson is well advanced, obviously runs in the family.

It has been a really dull, misty, damp day here today. we went out to a garden centre this morning taking our widow friend. The trees along the road were beautiful but would have looked so much better if the sun had been shining. Still we had a good natter to catch up as we had not seen her for a month with holidays and wedding etc, bought a few cyclamen which T has put in a bowl in the conservatory and a few bits and pieces for Christmas presents.

Hello girls,
Huia, it's early days with the new shop, and there are bound to be teething problems.
As for customers, well is this shop further out from people than the last one was?
if so it may take a little time for word to spread about what good bargains can be bought there.
Unless you are in a very posh area, where people dont want to be seen going into
places like charity or hospice shops. I am not included in that catagory I might add, as I love the charity shops in our area.

Ann, when we went to darts last night, it was very foggy, and frightening to drive through.
Like you, today has been very miserable, with low lying mist and very damp. I don't know what happened to the Indian Summer the weather forecasters said we would have.
Is the garden centre you went to,the one where you normally go for coffee?

What a treat for me in the morning, I have got the dentists for my check up.
Must remember to put my check book into my bag, as our dentists wont accept cards.
Goodness knows what will happen when they phase checks out all together, the dentist will then have to get a more up to date system of payment.
Heres hoping I dont need a mortgage to get any treatment done. LOL
Don't forget our clocks go back this coming weekend. Brrr a sure sign winter is here.
Well my friends, I shall say bye for now, take care, love Mo xxx

Mo, We do go fairly often to the garden centre we went to this morning but it is not the one near us where we usually go for coffee.

The new shop does not get much foot traffic. People have to come by car or bus. That stretch of road has a lot of places dealing with vehicles - selling them or parts for them, repairing them, selling tyres. There is a computer shop next to us and over the road a shop that sells bulk party food. Nothing to attract the ordinary customers.

Eftpos is a machine which you swipe your card through and put in your pin number, and the bank takes the amount (which we punched in beforehand) out of your account and puts it into ours.

I should have added, it is not for credit cards, just cash flow cards, the sort you use in the hole-in-the-wall to get cash out.

It appears that the siting of the new shop was not good Huia. It needs to be where
it is visible to peoples eyes, before they come over the threshold. And it sounds like the business is to far out. And by that I mean, mums out shopping with little ones looking for a bargain, where there are other shops and lots of people around.
What a shame, but I do hope business picks up soon love.

Guess who's a silly billy then...yes me. There was me, up early, fed and dressed, and ready to go to the dentists, when Roly told me that my appointment is not till tomorrow.
Oh boy how stupid I felt. And to top it all, I couldn't go tomorrow, so have had to cancel the appointment, and make another one. And this appointment is not till mid November.

My daughter gave me a voucher for Deben*ams for my birthday,so we went into Chatham today, for me to have a look at what I would like to buy.
I ended up buying a top, nothing fancy, not even worthy of christmas wear.
But the price was more than the voucher cost, so I had to add money to it. I would rather go to M+S, as I do love their clothes.

Thank you for the birthday wishes Sylvia, it's good to hear from you love.

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Thinking of our Caz, and sending her hugs. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

see you all soon, love Mo xxx

Huia, ah the machine is for debit cards. Who decided to have the new shop so far out? What a strange decision.
Aybe it needs advertising.
