Island,it says that this is her first baby and her mother had waited years to become a grandmother.I couldn't see any reference to another child?

Sold my freezer today along with the strimmer and lawn mower.Neither myself or daughter are fit to mow anymore but I found a young man with reasonable rates.
Joan,take it easy lady!!You are doing loads but take it slowly it will get done in time.

Lovely evening but I think rain and gales heading this way tomorrow!

I slept well last night but still tired so off to bed soon

Somebody on here said about judging people well it seems it can be done I had a curt message saying why did I delete my Thread .because there wasn't s lot of conversation going on that s the reason. Barbara

Florence, Naomi C has a 20 year old daughter.
Unusual to have babies so late these days.

Evening peeps.Got my new cooker delivered today and also the blinds man came at the same time.They look great and the cooker wow.So can't wait to use it.
Was driving back here about 2pm and the sky was angry looking and very black and then the heavens opened!!
Crikey some flooded parts and huge puddles could only drive at 35 mph safely.
Feeling tired tonight as the travelling I'm not used to.

Joan your garden is shaping up nicely and I'm sure those flapjacks are tasty with a cuppa.
Just resting on sofa watching TV for awhile.Was just watching Holby City...my fav program.Anyone else watch it?

Stay safe peeps

Wow Dermot and she is a first time mum at 50!!

A late evening hello folks.
Was very grey and almost black clouds loomed all day so much so that I thought the heavens would open and pour...but actually it didnt. Very strange too as so quiet with no wind. Never like it, when its so still as usually a storm brewing.
Well we had a carry on today with the water. Was just getting ready to load up and over to new house when I noticed a huge puddle outside front door and a terrible smell!
Went round the back to where the bathroom pipe is and oh my(hold nose!) there was unmentionable mess pouring out the drain. So tel the water company and about 2 hours later they arrived. They put rods down the main manhole and flushed it out as there indeed was a great blockage of some sort.

I had to put the washing machine on a 60 degree wash and plenty of washing soda. Thankfully the smell has gone and all back to normal.
Just kept us back as was going to make 2 trips today but only did one.

Joan you did well in your garden today.I bet you enjoyed being outside.

Champagne Tawny, love a glass of bubbly. Nearly time for the Pimms season!

Well better get to bed soon as lots of tidying up here to do tomorrow.

Nite nite all

So a

Sitting in my living room watching football and drinking champagne. Dreich outside today so it seemed like a plan.

I’m pleased things are going well with your move Florence.

I am sure that you could think of something Dermot!

Aw Joan, there are some horrible people about.I had a run in at the hospital last week with a jobsworth wanting me to explain why I wouldn't wear a mask.She said be if I refused to wear one,I wouldn't get my scan!!!I was so upset but the radiologist called me through and said don't worry about her,we will do your scan without a mask.
I have an excemption card too....nasty woman.

Why do some people judge others so we quickly?
Anyway your cake sounds delicious.
I got my car back but....oh dear I needed a bush and welding done as there is a hole on a sill!The bill today including the service was £185.The welding and not in the 8th June probably £300!!! But I can't afford to buy another this year what with moving costs etc.

Poor you Ann...cars are great when they work and such a pain when something goes wrong.

Really tired tonight after transporting s dozen boxes and emptying today.
So off to bed now.

Sleep well everyone

Good morning all, already 9 degrees here so not cold but grey and looking like yet more rain. so it will be gardening in the dry times if at all.
This morning the men are returning to change the misted glass in the small opening conservatory window they did the door that was misted on Tuesday then cracked the new glass for the window. I am also expecting my car to be brought back, with standing undriven for so long through lockdown and then when T was in hospital the battery was not good. Then I dodn't feel like driving it when T died and the battery was flat when I tried. so they took it in to check it over and fit a new battery so that is something I will have to pay for this morning.

Hope yours comes back Ok Florence. Sounds as if you are progressing well with the move now.

Glad you know what the problem was Ann and yes heres hoping it will come soon. Simply cant do very long without a machine. i could manage for a week but it would soon pile up!

Grey rainy day and i felt it cold too. Getting the car back tomorrow but at a cost!
Anyway have a load of boxes waiting to go so that will clear a space.

Tired tonight so off to bed a bit earlier than normal. Take care peeps

Samsung arrived and as I thought Twas the programmer.......um will have to put the part on order! Well I said I hope I won’t be put back in the queue for another 2 weeks waiting for it to be fitted :-0 :-0 :-0

Trying to brighten up here after two horrendous thunderstorms last night :-0 :-0

Have a lovely day everyone :-D <3

Good afternoon all
Well after a warm day yesterday, the clouds came and so has the rain. I put out a line of towels first thing but then about an hour later, sky clouded over and im glad i took them in as it poured hard!!So weather here back to normal.

Car went for its service yesterday and they rang at 3.30. Not quite the news i wanted. A sill needs to be welded and repaired otherwise will fail MOT next month.A bush also needs replacing. So more expense along with everything else but i need the car and simply cannot afford to buy another one this year.
If it will last me one more year, then i will have to save my pennies by living on beans on toast..lol

My lounge is now beginning to look very bare but tidier and when car comes back thursday, another load of boxes will go.

Joan its shortcrust pastry not puff so i may make an apple pie or something similar and of course ill have to eat up the few cornettos and magnums that are lurking still in the freezer!

Well Id better crack on doing change of addresses, the list is never ending but at least many i can do by email or text, its just so time consuming.

Have a good day all.
Tawny, enjoy your time in the park, sounds lovely.

Ann, hope you get your washing machine sorted

Florence in the hebrides

Morning everyone :-D <3

Not bad weather here as yet..a few showers. Am waiting for Samsung engineer to call as my washing machine is a bit poorly
:-0 :-0

Have a good day everyone
<3

It's a grand day here too. :-D

Dermot, poor John! It all went belly-up for him when the powers-that-be could not get their heads around apostrophes or thought that the public couldn't use them properly, so they decided to abolish them on street names. Shame on them! :-(

That’s sad Dermot. It seems he started the Apostrophe Protection Society in 2001 hoping to find six people who felt like he did. Within the first month he had over 500 people who felt that way.


Sitting in my local park right now. Having just been to the shop I felt like taking the slow route home. It is 16 degrees and absolutely glorious sitting here. Once I’ve finally decided to drop the shopping home I think I’ll head back over to the park and maybe onto the canal. With the park 20m from my front door it really is on my doorstep.

Why won't it stop raining??I made 2 trips today.Each one is 45 mins each way.Unloading car and getting soaked isn't my idea of enjoyment!!!
Have one packet of puff pastry in freezer I need to use.Anybidy got a good suggestion not containing meat? I was thinking of making some apple puffs but can't think of much else.

Having a well earned cuppa and can now see the floor in my bedroom and lounge..lol

Enjoy your Sunday

Florence in the Hebrides

Stay warm everyone <3

Ann your tale made me laugh too.
We are leaving this house on 31 may.Hiring a Luton Van on Fri 28th may so have the whole weekend to empty the house.
New sofas and fridge freezer being delivered direct so that helps.
We have managed to sell quite a lot of things which has amazed me and the money my daughter and I will share as it was both our things we sold.

Just back from the hospital.Had my jags so a bit sore but was told,cannot have anymore injections because it will tear my tendons and I will be permanently disabled and on crutches!

These steroid jags also relieved my sinus problems so now without I shall be on s box of tissues s day...ufn
Because of my Asthma,I can't take painkillers or anti inflammatory s so now I'm quite upset re my future.
He referred me to physio so shall wait and see what they say.

Freezing here and just had another hail/heavy sleety rain shower.So heating on and a cuppa needed to warm up.
