I,m going to check this out,
i,m starting to think, i might of been advertised as a cheap holiday stay, in some travel brochure.

i hoping they move on, by the end of this week

So sorry to hear about your bad news, hope you are ok

This tendon tear sounds so painful, and taking a long time
to heal, sorry to hear you are still having to wear the brace, i know how much you hate the thing, but if it helps, i suppose its worth it.

sending by best, and thanks for the pm, so looking forward to our meet

Lucky you,

well not the breaking bit, but having a hubby that can fix things,

mine can't hang a picture straight, he has to call someone in

never tried internet food shopping, i think mainly because i buy only fresh from the supermarkets, so i like to have a look, most other things i buy in bulk, but i do like the sound of missing that christmas rush

Good to rant Nyannie,

i,m with you all the way, unless i have to replace my Bosch tumble dryer
sorry but its the best one, i've ever had

Georgy
So sorry to learn of your uncle's death. My sympathy and thoughts are with you.

Hope each day gets better for your dad.

Much love

Hubs got tickets, said it was a good match, if a little disappointing. Everton very lucky to keep all 11 on the pitch.

any more news of your house sale, my parents have also put their Bungalow up on the market, the pics went up, at the end of last week.

Morning all.

Guess it is the time of year, very depressing and reflective. Not at my best today.

No news of John - wonder what he thought of the 1st ashes test. Heard the Australian captain got fined 20% of his fee for threatening Jimmy Anderson. Really nice tactics. . .

Have a good day everyone.

Oh what a shame, instant fail for a kerb hit, i do that every day of the week. Well i hope she gets it next time, and the test doesn't take to long to come through, she must be so disappointed, but wishing her well.

Thanks Nyannie xxxx

Georgy

So sorry to hear about your uncle. Glad you can sit with your dad though, it must help him. Will be thinking of you as you go through this tough time xx


Something else we have in common, Georgy!! Still, he is a great people person, and you can't have everything, can you?

Would like to chat more but am still only half awake

Have a good day all xx

Surprised you say it was a bit disappointing.....the pundits were all going on about it being one of the matches of the season!?!

I agree, Mereilles should have been sent off

No news on the house sale, the pre- Christmas lull seems to have started already! Are your parents hoping to move locally? Hope their sale goes well

its an odd time of year...........I think its the lack of sunshine..


commiserations to you and your dad....

learning to drive is such hard work........lena I hope she passes next time...... but then again the price of the insurance afterwards.......!!!!!!



It was a beautiful sunny day here this morning...but now it looks like a storm is imminent....

We have sky TV back......The nice engineer fixed it all , so we can now see our programmes again...Ive caught up on the Sky portrait painter.....which is amazing.....There are some really talented portrait painters around. But its so subjective choosing one winner per programme. it must be really hard for the judges.

We also saw the Great Gatsby, which was an amazing film. with links to the story of the same name, but I think the film was more about the relationship between Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald with a nod to the storyline of the book. So I can see why some people loved it and others didn't...!!

I wish I had Sky - not only for the sport but their drama season looks very interesting.

Cannot believe it is almost Thanksgiving. I used to do one for my friends (mostly English) but since moving out of London it has become almost impossible. Last time I did it my o/h had to go to Basingstoke to pick up the turkey from one of our guests - and then I had to brine it and didn't have a big enough receptacle for it. My o/h cleaned out one of those big plastic boxes. Then the turkey didn't fit in our oven so had to cook half in ours and half in our next-door neighbour's oven. Really don't know how it was so good, but NEVER NEVER AGAIN (seem to be saying that a lot these days).

Forgot to say hello and wish everyone a good day.

Lindy - hopefully you will sell your house easily after Christmas.

Georgy - all the best to you and your dad. Grief is so difficult to cope with.

Going out to breakfast with a friend this morning so best get on - we are leaving in an hour!

Morning all

Another busy day today, preparing a new course and then going to see mum, who hasn't been very well. Will be taking her for blood tests etc tomorrow......

Looking forward to the Arsenal match tonight - they have always been my 'second' team after Liverpool - and still are, despite our rivalry in the league

Have a good day all xx

Quiz for those who watch Downton Abbey Answer 10 short questions to find out which character you'd be .....

http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/d...u-quiz-2805441

I'm Anna by the way.....

I like this quiz, im Anna as well...

I don't like it, I am Mrs Patmore!!!!!

Good, isn't it?


Funny, I had you down as Mrs Hughes

Or Violet perhaps!

Not been a round for a few days, o/h has had a few days off so need to catch up and read back.

Thanks Lindy, I shall take a look and report back.........

wow it gets dark so quickly at the moment.....!!!

Ive just had my email about studying all about Richard 111, so need to find a way to get back into this.......It seemed a good idea at the time, but just before xmas Im not really feeling. it.


I didn't realise Lady Mary from Downton Abbey was really an Essex girl.....isn't it odd when you find out these morsels of information...


And as for Nigella......what a story about her today.....!!!!!! My OH loves her cookery programmes, so I have seen quite a few of her programmes, and I must confess to feeling somewhat bemused.....Im kind of assuming the story must be true...if not the newspapers are going to be in an awful lot of trouble...But what an unlikely story...

Never Violet!!!!

Rather be Mary or the Countess - it is my delusions towards grandeur

I know. I feel the same about Nigella. I cannot believe she would be stupid enough to allow her daughter to take drugs. Who knows what is the truth?

I had some trouble getting on the thread this morning, did anyone else?

Isn't Violet the grandest of them all?

Too old for you though, by a mile........

Just off out so see you all later x
