General Chat

Hello one and all.
I hope you are all well. I thought I had better pop in,to let you know you may not see me,for a couple of days,as my son is starting my kitchen tommorrow.
Total chaos is reining at the moment. I don't know what we will be eating
tommorrow,it may have to be a take away,snigger snigger,as I will not have a hob or oven to use.
We cant move in the dining room for boxes.
Does this ring bells for you Jean.
But it should all be finished by Tuesday night,thank the lord.
Bye for now,love to you all. Mo xxx

Hi Everyone,

I hope that you are all okay. It's been very quiet on here over the weekend.

Mo, thank you for your Christmas card, we've received quite a few now, so it's starting to feel like Christmas. We've been busy this weekend, we've been changing over rooms, our dining-room is now our lounge and vice versa. With the help of Jennie, Michael and Janet's son-in-law, we got it done yesterday. Today, Jennie, Michael and Alun decided that I needed a craft room, so I now have the room that use to be Richard's bedroom as a craft room. Not sure about it though, as I always used the dining-room to do scrapbooking.

Ann, hope you enjoyed your weekend away, and that the weather was good.

Marie, I'll be in touch with you later on, I've been writing my Christmas cards this evening, trying to get myself organised. So now I can send all the cards tomorrow.

Jean, how are things with you and J? Hope you have finished your Christmas shopping.

Huia, glad you got rid of the mouse. We don't know what happened to ours, we put some bait down in a bait station, and we haven't seen it since. I'm hoping that he went out while the back door was open. We shall see!

Mo, good luck for this week, and that it all goes well, with no problems.

I hope everything is okay with Debbie and her family, we haven't heard from her for a while.

Speak to you all soon.

Love, Sallie.xxx

Hi, just looking in to see if there was anyone about and to say a quick hello. Hope everyone is okay. I wonder how they are getting on with Mo's kitchen, I hope the weather is better there than it is here, this afternoon we've had rain, heavy at times.

Ann, hope you and OH enjoyed your weekend at Torquay.

Well, that's it for now, Alun wants to use this laptop. He's doing a website for the model railway club, so needs to get on with it.

Take care! Love, Sallie.xx

Hi al

We are back now, we had one fine but cold day, the rest were wet. We enjoyed the break, the hotel was busy and the entertainment good but the food was not as good as it has been before. had a nice room on the 4th floor overlooking the marina. The journey back up the M5 was pretty atrocious, very wet and lots of spray and idiots with no lights.

Hellooo.
To update you on my kitchen. Well all the old units were out by 10.00a.m,
and by 3.00p.m all the base units and doors and handles were on. The oven's back in it's housing,and tommorrow the work tops go on.
It looks absolutely lovely,I am really pleased with it. I am so glad I chose the champagne colour doors,they make the kitchen look so light,and as it's such a small area,it makes it look bigger.
It sounds like we have all had the same weather Sallie. It's been so wet and miserable here.
Good to have you back Ann. The motorways are a nightmare when it's bad weather,arn't they. The lorries don't help the situation either. I sometimes wish that they were not allowed on the same roads as cars.
But thats asking the impossible.
I wonder what has happened to our Jean,she has been very quiet lately.
I hope she and J are o.k.
A big HELLO to Marie,Huia,Liz and Debbie.
Love to you all. Mo xxx

Hi Ya Mo


It's been a long time since Sherwood Forest!!


and I see some other familiar names.

May I join you??


I've just started looking around on General .......... a bit more time to spare.

Things are going well over here ...... OH wants to re-do our kitchen, daughter the architect even drew up plans 2 years ago. I'm being the slowpoke.

The big news is that daughter is expecting her first baby at the end of March. We'll go over there about April 10 ....... they live 3000 miles away on the other coast. The guest bedroom will then become the nursery ............ and we'll have to sleep on a hideabed in the family room on future trips!

Oh Sylvia,it's so good to hear from you. As you say it's been months and months since we last spoke.
Sherwood was never the same after we has our sad loss of Thomas , I have not heard from Viv in goodness knows how long as well.
Everyone this is Sylvia,she's a lovely lady,and I am sure you will all soon see this.
We are a very friendly lot Sylvia,and we care and look out for each other,in whatever way we can. We give support to each other when it's needed.
Please join us whenever you feel like it.
Hope to hear from you again soon. Love Mo xxx

Thanks Mo

I see Viv around on some of the other boards .... still as chippy as she was in the Forest!

Viv is Viv Sylvia,she will never change bless her. But I have missed Sherwood,and I dare say a lot off our friends on here would have thought us all mad. But by golly we did have a laugh didn't we.
Speak to you soon. Love Mo xxx

Hi Mo, the kitchen sounds great. Hi Sylvia, good to see you on here.

Mo, pleased to know that your kitchen is coming along well, I'm sure it will look lovely when it's finished.

Ann, I know what you mean about some idiots driving with no lights on in such weather conditions. It's amazing how some drivers have no concern for their own lives, alone anyone elses.

Hello Sylvia, welcome to the thread, there are some very nice people on here, as Mo's said it's a lovely friendly thread where we all help and look out for each other. I have seen you on Susan's thread, although we didn't actually speak.

I hope all is well with Jean, she hasn't been on for a few days.

We still haven't heard from Debbie, I hope things are okay with her and her family.

Good wishes to Huia, Liz, Marilyn, Sue and Grace.

Speak to you all tomorrow.

Love, Sallie.xx

and I've just noticed that Sallie's posting was number 1400

Congratulations MO!

Thank you all for the welcome. It did seem a very friendly group when I read through the postings.

Ann ......... it seems so long since you had that thread going! Although our paths have crossed many times on other threads.

Sallie ......... yes, I have "seen" you on various other threads

I wonder where Jean is, maybe she has PC trouble as I have not seen her on here at all. Is anyone in phone contact with her?

Evening everyone.
Just to put your minds at rest,Jean is fine. She sent me a p.m last night,
and she has been so busy,that she has not had time to pop in and see us
What with all the work she had done,it is taking her a little time to get everything sorted. One or two things were not as they should have been,
and had to be sorted out. So she sends her love to everyone,and will be back with us soon.
Sylvia,how observant off you to notice that Sallie had the 1,400th posting,I had not seen it.
I knew you would have known some off our friends on here Sylvia. They certainly get about,especially Ann,she is a proper little poster on these boards,love her to bits we do.
And Sallie is as quiet as a mouse,but she is such a good friend to us.
And our Jean,well what can say about Jeanie. She is the reason I started this thread,as she was there for me when I needed to bend someones ear.
Our Huia in NZ,is our singing lark.
And Marie in OZ,keeps us all up to date with what is occuring over there.
And we would be lost without her. Her friendship means a lot to us.
And then we have Debbieand Liz who pop in and see us every so often.
But we welcome most people with open arms,and friendly hearts.
Oh and I nearly forgot our Marilyn,(god she will never forgive me if I forget her) she is our traveller,who goes all over the world,and tells us what is
happening there.
I will say bye bye for now. Love to you all. Mo xxx

Thanks Mo, I was getting concerned as I had even e mailed Jean and still not heard and it is not like her to be quiet Lol!!!!! As long as she is OK then, no problem.

Did I see on the friendly thread that Marilyn is home again?

Yes Ann you saw correctly. She has gone to bed to catch up on her sleep.
It's such a long journey from the states isn't it.

Jet lag, horrible, takes ages to get back to normal.

Thanks for the update on people Mo, I am all behind like the cow's tail as always lol so many cards to write and stuff to do and o.h. asking me to do this and that! I am getting really tired again, the vit d jab doesn't seem to have done any good so have an apptmt with the doc next Monday, the only day she does afternoons or evenings so lucky to get one before Christmas.

Haven't seen our Huia post for a while - I hope all is ok with our friend in NZ
Love to all too many to mention, hope to see Marilyn after Christmas when she gets to Norwich

love
Lizxxx

Hi there all.

I have been reading the boards each day but havent posted much lately. Life can be a bit hectic at times. I had a visitor on Monday and the man came to mow the lawns but I forgot to ask him to do the one down the bottom so after my visitor went I decided to do it myself. It took me an hour, with much sweating (yes, I have spelt that correctly). That night when I woke in the small hours I thought my eyes felt a little weepy. Tues I went to town all day and my eyes were sore and weepy so I went to the chemist to get some antihistamine drops, also got a free sample 2 tab packet of antihist. tabs. All that lawn mowing seems to have aggravated the eyes again. Good excuse for paying somebody else to mow the lawns.

Today my sister and her OH came to visit. Tomorrow I am going to visit Phil again - just hope he is awake for a change.

I dont have anything planned for Fri or Sat but I might visit Phil again on Sun morning and then the choir has 9 lessons and carols service in the evening. I wont look any further ahead than that. Just thinking about it all makes me feel tired. Off to bed soon.

Huia.
