Apparently I kept the whole house awake last night with my coughing (okay, that's an exaggeration on their behalf, I'm sure :rolleyes:)
Have been watching a bit of Ascot. Saw all three of James Doyle's wins - what a nice young man And saw Laura Robson losing it at Eastbourne. If only she were more consistent......
Think I'd better get dressed now before hubby gets home, and at least try to look human Wonder whether he won anything?
Just take it easy Lindy - don't need to rush getting out of bed. I agree with you about Laura - for some reason she doesn't seem to have the killer instinct. She is capable of winning but doesn't.
I always try to watch the royal procession at Ascot and love all the outfits.
Hello everyone hope things are going well. I have had visitors for a few days so have'nt been posting. It's a lovely day today ,so calm and sunny but not so humid I think we have rain forecast for Sunday.
I see John has sent a birthday twitter message for you Nyannie, what a very lucky lady you are to be sure. Do you think John reads this thread to know it was your birthday or would he know from some other source.Its a lovely thing for him to do.
I know a lot of people mess about on twitter and not everything is real but from what little I know I think this is genuine I hope so anyway.

that message was for nannie jean, who isn't the same as our ny annie...:D
But it was a sweet message from him to someone who has supported him for a long time.

I am so sorry about my mistake made about the message from John to Nannie, trust me to put my big foot in it .I can only say a big sorry to you Nyannie for being such an idiot and go and cower in my corner.

Hi Diane
I am much better today, thanks
And I'm sure that no cowering is necessary re 'nyannie / nanny jean' It's an easy mistake to make, especially in your evident enthusiasm. Nyannie will answer for herself but I imagine she will be amused more than anything!

Hi diane, hope you're well.
What a difference a day makes!
Woke this morning to a thick sea mist that's completely enveloped the Downs and coastline for most of the day. The Downs are just appearing now.
My socks are back on.
You might well find a little refugee on your doorstep if you have sun. :D
Yes the car has arrived........I ll take it out properly later....
it is a lovely car, but only a car, why do some people, usually male, get so het up over these things??
It been such strange weather the past few days, it rained this morning and was cold and overcast, now its really hot....
most peculiar...:D
Congrats on the car
how exciting
have you named it yet
what colour did you go for
Good Morning JJat
just reading through now
lindy hope you feel better, nasty things colds, always make you feel so down and tired
and nyannie hope you are alright, how are the feet, are the
injections helping at all
me.... i,m going to have a restful day today
haven,t stopped all week
most of its been spent on the phone
trying to sort out my son's college funding
they've gone and changed everything again
for adult disability :mad:
He recently traded in his car (only two years old) that he waited 6 months for while it was built to order!!
Unfortunately his partner was terrified of its semi automatic sequencial gearbox (paddles behind the steering wheel and no clutch) and she wouldn't drive it.

Hope you had fun with your visitors
with the weather we seem to take one step forward
and then quite a few back
really don,t like this muggy, sticky weather
yes it was a very nice message from john
the lady it was for, is on twitter, but a easy mistake to make
are you on twitter Diane
it can be unpleasant, but if you are careful about who you follow, block when needed or lock the account, it can be fun

My Husband
said it was great yesterday, when the Queens horse
won, one almighty cheer went up, she looked so pleased
he is there all week, which is why i've been running about so much.
but i will get my revenge just wait for Wimbledon
then he can watch me, do my vanishing act

Oh Diane, I'm not on twitter but really appreciate the fact that John took the time to send me a birthday greeting. Lovely man.
I am so sorry about my mistake made about the message from John to Nannie, trust me to put my big foot in it .I can only say a big sorry to you Nyannie for being such an idiot and go and cower in my corner.
Don't worry - haven't read all of the thread. It was a lovely thing to do for one of his long-time supporters.
Wow georgy, you sound really really busy = trying to sort out bureaucracy is absolutely no fun at all.
Feet still bad and sadly, injection hasn't taken so every step I take is really painful but there we are, can't let it ruin my life.
The car sounds wonderful augusta. I'm so jealous - everyone getting new vehicles. Hope they enjoy them. Need to sort out the dry cleaning too - such an exciting time. . .

its like banging your head against a brick wall
all i want is for them to fund his college course
they can keep the rest of the benefits, but to get the college funded
you need to claim this and that first, doesn't make sense, i,m trying to save them money here
and now to top it of, they need a adult statement of special needs , another waste, he has been in the system since he was six, and nothing has changed really. :mad: well rant over
sorry to hear, the injections aren't working, what is the next step, can you have surgery and if so, what are the chances of success, would it make you pain free
good luck with the dry cleaning, took a few items the other day........ and thought how much :eek:
I was so sorry to have missed Ascot this year, but maybe next time.....I'm sure it must have been a really magic moment when the Queen's horse won. And on Lady's Day too, when Jane Cecil's horse won as well, and that of another female trainer (sorry can't remember name). The Queen is held in such high regard, isn't she?
Cars......each to their own, though your family cars sound pretty splendid, georgy! I admit I tend to get attached to cars, and drive them till they're not worth repairing. My current 11 year old Micra (which I've had since it was new) fits me like a glove. Okay it's full of dents, and the radio doesn't work, but....she's mine and I love her! You know the old thing about dogs being like their owners...do you think cars are a bit like that?
Sorry to hear your foot's still so painful nyannie. I echo georgy's queries about 'next steps' (sorry about the awful pun ) Hope the medics can sort something out for you soon
And georgy, you just keep battling the system....ultimately it's people like you who eventually improve it. That said, please don't wear yourself out in the process. How's that for having your cake and eating it?
Shall we have a Wimbledon party next week? I think quite a few of us are looking forward to the tennis
Oh and by the way I am only here because I cancelled lunch with friends ....still not quite up to it My day now goes something like 3pm telephone meeting, 6pm grocery delivery, 7.30 pick daughter up from station, 8.30 dinner, 10.30 collapse in front of the kindle.
Hi Lindy love Wimbledon. Hi everyone on my favourite thread.
Lovely to see John tweet nannyjean for her birthday. Sometimes i see a tweet from him and think hes a good boy and that was one of them.
Just finished work for the weekend so off to chill. Anyone watching BB? I am looking forward to the eviction. x
Hi ellemay, good to see you
No, I'm not watching BB I'm afraid. I think it would tend to get me a bit frustrated these days. Think I've changed, as much as it has Is that a good thing or not, I wonder.......:p :cool:
Like the idea of a thread party for Wimbledon. My support is stiill with Federer - he really has a tough draw.
I would like to make strawberry shortcake for the party - shall we have it on Monday? I also have a couple of bottles of fizz somewhere so perhaps others could make more food.
Don't know what the next step is? Possible surgery on left foot but have no idea what they can do for my right foot.
O/H taking pity on me so we are going out for a curry tonight. Craft fair tomorrow - will have to find some time for some drawing.
Have a lovely evening everyone - want to see Secret Houses when we get back.

That sounds so frustrating. As you say you are trying to save money so surely they should be able to sort it all out sensibly. These things can take up so much time.....
Just back from London collecting daughter no 2s possessions, car was lovely, but it was a long drive thru slow traffic. Now I'm on kindle, while the rest are watching DVD downstairs. I don't do scary films.......so I've pleaded exhaustion, which is true
Daughter no 1, has invited new boyfriend round as well, he seems ok, I hope......he is as nice as he seems.
hubby is waiting for his new sports car, the happy arrival is in September. i will not be driving it
and son is looking at the Audi A1 5 door,
i like automatics , big cars, estates , that can take a knock or two, after all i,m not known for my great driving skills
and lena, i think perhaps
you're a bit of a petrol head to
I like small cars, that I don't feel worried about driving, but my biggest issue is parking.....small cars fit into multistory car parks....all of them, I find larger cars much harder...
When I was borrowing my O/H s car It was a nightmare to park.....:eek:
Anyway, my little ''uppity'' is now here, its dark blue..and very cute. I wasn't keen on it being called ''uppity'' but OH tends to be good at finding names for things, and now he has started calling it this...I don't think its worth trying to change it...
There seem to be quite a few people on here who are interested in cars, im impressed....sort of...and still somewhat bemused.....Cars are for getting from a to b...As long as they work, and can transport junk, like everything from my daughters uni room....what else is needed?

Well the car has arrived, the old car has gone to the scrapyard, and I am almost straight again...
why do these things all take so long to organise? I decided to keep the mats from my last car as a momento and reminder of it....
now for a bit of a relax....
Hope you are feeling better today Lindy
Hope you are enjoying the new car Augusta
Hope the south coast is giving you another lovely day Lena and that everyone else is happy.
I am so sorry about my mistake made about the message from John to Nannie, trust me to put my big foot in it .I can only say a big sorry to you Nyannie for being such an idiot and go and cower in my corner.
