Hi Everyone

I am still around Anne just a bit busy the last few days ..

Sylvia ,I would get the last word in if it were me.

I have up'ed the speed on my computer in order to give me better Skype coverage but I don't know if it is any faster.
I have cccleaned as well just to be sure ....did not need a defrage.

See how we go may have to complain to my server.

Don't feel to good today I hope I am not coming down with anything,all the kids are on School holidays for two weeks,this is when they spead there germs around ,Colds and the like.

Evelyn lovely to hear from you again and I am glad you enjoyed your rest,it will be good to have you back onboard again when you return home.

Robert it is allways nice to hear from you,with winter coming I hope you get yourself nice and warm in your little cave but please come out now and then for a chat with us.

I had better get some housework done,I am still in my dressing gown.
Love to you all.

Robert......and I thought you were in cahoots with Sporran Man! I would have been proud to have been rescued by you.


Sylvia..........like it!



Evelyn, you may be sorry to be going home but, hopefully, we may hear more from you once you are back.....?? I'm glad you have had a good break anyway and I am sure it will have done you some good.


Didn't have the grandchildren today as one of them is poorly, but will probably be back to normal tomorrow unless the other one succumbs!!


Quick mooch before bed. Cx

Hi all

I've been having server problems most of the morning ................ could get onto one of my sites, but nowhere else! They'll all be wondering why i have posted so often on that one when I normally only post once every 2 or 3 days lol!

Got another pm from Cynthia's "friend" ... told me I needed to lighten up, but wouldn't tell me not to reply as she "knew I would reply just to get the last word in"


Ha Ha ....... I'm NOT going to reply!


Robert ............ OH was born just before WW2 (I was born just after it began) .......... his Welsh grandmother used to take him to meet members of her farming family on various railway stations not far from Chester ... and get eggs, milk, butter and chickens from them

As the widow of a Welsh Methodist minister, she was terribly against the Black Market ..... but this was not Black Market, it was "family helping family boyo" lol!

Meanwhile, I, like you, led the frugal life, basics only, in a Northern mill town.


off for a little mooch

Evelyn, I live a simple, frugal but healthy life and don't have much need for supermarkets. Being as old as I am and having been brought up during the War (World War 2), I stick to basics-- we don't need luxuries.

Hello Everyone,
Wifi is available today so here I am.
Tomorrow we return to Guernsey but have to go via jersey and wont arrive home much before midnight, we wont come back to France until Easter next year. We have had a nice break and I am very reluctant to go home.
I havent read all the thread yet but it sounds as if someone has been rude to my friend Cynthia, take no notice Cynthia, we all love you and appreciate your help and interest, I think you are a gem.
How do you manage about groceries Robert when you are in your shell?,do you pop out or does the local supermarket deliver to you, if you have a problem I will send you a food parcel from Guernsey.
I have chores to do so will say cheerio and will be in touch soon,
Much love to you all

Dear Cynthia,

There was I ready to rush across the Pennines to comfort you from the threats from Frank and all the thanks I get is being tarred with the same brush as Frank!!!

OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH>

Frank - would I dare suggest anything about wondering around in a Duvet only - don't think i actually mentioned atire once. What you have under your duvet is up to you.

Cynthia I am beginning to think you may be right about the Pain in My Neck.
Its more shoulder & head really so that could be caused by a Sunday Sporran reporter.

Getting concerned about Evelyn as I am sure she was back and Sue has gone quiet for a day or so.

We seem to be a dwindling thread.

Well won't talk too loudly but its a bit Quiet here today & I have training this afternoon - Can't beleive they all forgot my birthday and i have brought in Cakes as well.

Never mind getting far too old for birthdays any way.

Will wonder off and see if i can annoy anyone

Take care

Excuses. Excuses .....sigh .... typical reporter of the male variety I fear. Surely you would be better off at the Conference being held in Manchester........Fearless Frank from the Sunday Sporran ....lol


Thank goodness that thread has gone. One does not wish to see ones moniker in the headlines again.


Anne, you know that pain in your neck? You could give it a name .......just five little letters.....starting with F and ending in K! Howzat??


Ah well, enough frivolity....I'm away to my duvet.

Take care my friends. Cx.

Cynthia my dear,

It was not I that posted on Kathleen's thread and boosted it back up the boards for all the world to see..............It was that Sylvia, I decided not to post for that very reason ;)

Hey Anne,
Maybe your shoulder is playing up because you keep sticking your neck out in these journalistic exposés but suggesting that Sylvia wonders about clad only in a duvet is taking a big risk...........that rolling pin of her's is quite deadly.

Latest news from up north suggests that the two combatants in the war of contacts have moved back from the brink resulting in the deletion of the aforementioned threads.

It's all quiet on the western front !

We forgive you Sylvia - everyone should have a duvet day once in a while.

Well my headache seems to be connected to the trapped nerve - so he is going to get some tests done & suggested that I go see the Osteopath I saw last time as it worked.

Yes it did but it was £35 for 30 mins over 3 years ago - dread to think what it will be now - have to admit I could do with it as shoulder playing up again - which is a result of the neck hurting & me sitting in the wrong position. Its a never ending circle - so not a lot of help really.

Never mind - just falling apart bit by bit - comes to us all - glad I don't live in a shell as I think I would suffer more.

I hope you have a nice soft bed in that shell with a very warm duvet to snuggle up in - Is there a Mrs Robert who also lives in the shell?

STILL HAVEN'T FOUND OUT THE COLOUR OF THE KITCHEN ##

Goog change of subject.

Well this roving reporter is closing down now as back to work tomorrow - wonder what joys will be waiting for me there.

Take care all

Morning all

(well it isn't yet 10:30am here!)

Dull, grey, and not too warm.

Have a dentist's appointment at 1:00 am ....... 6 monthly check-up


I got a pm from Kathleen ..... said she had replied to me on the thread, then deleted the thread, but wanted me to know that she considered my comments out-of-order, and repeating some of the things already said. Ended by saying "Please do not reply. Thank you"


so I replied :))

.................. mainly to say please to consider changing her board name to "distinguish yourself from the hundreds of Kathleens on this site.".

Perhaps that was a little bit of hyperbole ....... but there are at least dozens!

I wonder if she will block me?


ah well


off to have my shower ...... delayed because I got up to chat to sis-i-l before she left at 8:30 am, ate breakfast while doing it, then realised some of the exercises I have to do are uncomfortable if I have just eaten


that is my excuse for being a lazy slob and still sitting around in my dressing gown!!

I have asked Kathleen to remove the thread so that the matter can be forgotten. I'm not sure that she understands
how many Kathleens I have in my contacts and, whilst I try to double check most names, sometimes I simply don't have the time.


Haven't heard from Evelyn in a while - wonder if she is still on her hols??

Cx

Cynthia - just had a read of the "Thread" how unpleasant - when a PM would do - Have to admit i gave up helping out when i went back to work - just didn't have the time.

Sylvia - well done - hope that has sorted them out

Personally I would just ignore the message if it bothered me and not stir up a hornets nest.

I wasn't the one who suggested a Kick up the kilt Cynthia - i said i needed a swift Kick - looks like Robert was getting all enthusiastic then & has now gone back in to his shell to sulk now.

I do have a person in mind Robert if you still have the inclination to pop out of your shell with your kicking boots on.

Well off to potter around with my tree - will try & pop in later.

Anyone heard from Evelyn?

Well........ and I thought we had two gentlemen on this thread! Shame on you both. tut tut


shakes head in disbelief....


Can't trust anyone these days - especially north of the border it seems....huh.


Regaining my composure a little....

Thank you for your comments Sylvia....at least you have never (yet) suggested that I need 'a hoof up the kilt' as I once heard it said....


Sue, Kathleen's thread doesn't put me off helping at all as I get so many nice pm's from folk and it's good that I am able to help them find their replies.


Anne, so sorry you are going through a bad time. I know you have been working very hard recently and this may be taking its toll on you.

I guess we all have regrets about decisions we have made in the past - I know I certainly do. Hopefully though, we learn from sometimes bitter experience, not to make the same mistakes twice. We can't turn the clock back, but simply put the past behind us and move to the future that little bit wiser.



Well, this roving reporter is going to rove around the boards letting people know that they have been helped by our trusty volunteers.

Hi Frank,

You had me going. I was all set to run over the hills from the North East, then you said "Don't go". Disappointed- deflated- depressed.

Back in my shell.

Hi Everyone

I have just read the thread Cynthia,you seem to be stuck in the middle on this one.

To help or not to help that is the question,I for one think it is easier to not help anyone you cannot get in any trouble what so ever.just leave them to fend for themselves,not much fun in that though,I enjoy helping.

I think you do a very good job so don't let anyone put you off.

Spent the weekend in the garden ,my Weeping flowering Cherry is doing much better in a half round wine barrel with soil to suit.
I have planted a flowering peach in its place it is doing great.

Off to visit friends this afternoon.
See you all tonight.
Suex

sorry C


I've posted on that thread ...... I just couldn't believe ti


I've suggested that she should have pm'd you ... not nice to have done it publically


and that she make her board name more unique


Waiitng for OH to return from the airport .... he went to meet his sister, she's here for one night, leaves early tomorrow morning for another plane to Whitehorse.

She can't get there from her home in the north without coming south to Vancouver first.


Dentist for Oh and for me tomorrow ...... mine's just the 6 month check up. His appointment is part of the continuing rebuilding of his teeth!



your trusty reporter from the far west
