The news we have been waiting for - from Sylvia's OH.


Sylvia had the surgery at 9:00am and was very awake and resting well by
2:00pm. No problems so she should be home tomorrow.



What good news to start the day with :-D

Hi Everyone

Wonderful news Cynthia ,please pass along my love and good wishes for all positive news.

We are hearing more all the time on Breast Cancer,I sometimes think that they do have a cure for it but how many people would it put out of work,it is an awful thought I know but so much money has gone into finding a cure for all types of Cancer surely they must be close to finding some sort of cure.

So many people have been touched by all Cancers,I myself lost my mother to it and she was only 49yrs old,I get angry when I hear of more with this horrendous illness.

Anne I hope you enjoy your Popcorn,pitty you are not watching a movie at the same time,visitors at the moment be back again tonight.

Suex <3 <3 <3

Big hugs to Sylviax <3

It was wonderful news indeed Sue....let's hope Sylvia is back on here soon.


Had quite a busy day what with one thing and another. I thought my washer had broken at one stage but, thankfully, I was wrong.......


Just watched an episode of Midsomer Murders.......I am getting used to the new Barnaby and still wonder at how many murders there are each time.....must be hardly anyone left in those villages.......:-D


Better get a good night's sleep........my beauty needs it.....


Love to all. Cx.

Morning all - 5am again - last one for a week or so - much to OH relief

Wonderful news about Sylvia & letting her go home so quick too
(((((~~~~~~~~))))))) <3 <3 <3

Sue i agree I am sure they have found something - just don't want to shout too loudly & testing it out - but how many poor little animals is it going to take. I think they should test this sort of thing out on the lifers/terrorists in prison & rid the tax payer of the burden of having to keep them.

It would put their lives to good use in the end - it wouldn't condone what they did but it would go a long way & innocent little lives would not be lost. It also means that things would actually be tested & tried out on humans & they would endure some suffereing too.

End of soap box rant - :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

Really nice day - 3 hours of sorting out work & then off to London for the day - I have been invided to the Square meal event exhibition - lots of walking around - & hopefully trying out all sorts of different food & drink as well & we get a free lunch. Also managed to get a free taxi from the office to the station.

Well tons to do in a short time.

Will be back on here tomorrow all being well.

Take care all <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Interesting day yesterday Blocked drains for second time this year - must take more prunes.

One of my Hot Matches replied and we do have a connection through my father's mother's family. will be good to confirm all my research to date.

Great news about Sylvia. I have known three friends die of breast cancer and my mother's sister died in the sixties when chances of survival were very poor.

My father and his father died of cancer, so hoping that there is not a genetic link. The cancers were different.

Today I have the builders here and a new patio is taking shape. Glorious sunshine - hope it lasts.

Hi Everyone

I can't believe how quick the weekend has come around again,had a very busy day today as we have visitors for the weekend so extra shopping and a bit of a rush around the house to get ready.

It was a lovely sunny day today but I was to busy to take advantage of it .

Dinner is all done and out of the way so I can watch the footy show tonight,as you can guess I love my sport...that is one thing that the OH and I do have we both love Cricket and Football,I suppose it all helps to keep a happy house.

Cynthia any more news about Sylvia,I do hope she is Ok.

Arthur the hot matches can be very good at times but I get to many now and can't be bothered checking all of them.
Nice to see you popping in ,another member to our little thread,we have all become very good friend like Anne I really look forward to out little chats .

We had a young man taken by a five mt white pointer Shark two weeks ago and it looks like that same Shark is hanging around the bay and has been sighted twice in the last two days .
This is a holiday destination in the School holidays and it gets very busy in Summer and this is very bad for the tourists it will scare them all away .
I think they should kill myself as it is coming back for food ,I won't be going in the water thats for sure and I have already told the Granchildren to not go in the water either.

Oh 's sister is coming over tonight it is her birthday so we are getting together for a glass of wine .

Try to get back later
Suex <3 <3 <3

Good news again! Sylvia is now home and resting. I think she will be back with us as soon as she can. :-D :-D



It must be national 'Look after your house' day Arthur. My neighbour had a chimney problem so there have been men on the roof all morning - we had arranged for them to check ours too!.

Whilst they were up there, they cleaned the gutters out for us........my word.....it's amazing what they got out......it must have been like a miniature forest growing in our gutters......yuk!

They also found three tennis balls......memo to self.....do not hit tennis balls so high!


Worrying about that shark Sue.......I would hope the authorities would ban anyone from going into the water until it moves away - from lack of food.
Very unpleasant..........gone all shivery at the thought.


Had better go and finish the ironing I suppose.

Love to all <3

Morning all - 7 am today - its daylight - was beginning to think I only went to work when it was dark

Fantastic news about Sylvia

Happy birthday to your sister in law Sue

Wonderful news on the hot match front Arthur - when they work its great - I am a bit like Sue i seem to get loads of them now.

Sue I am surprised the Shark is still there - can't they lure it out to see or something - If they were that desperate for food surely there would be more of them.

Cynthia - what have I told you about the tennis lessons - keep your eye on the ball not the instructor - no wonder they end up on the roof.

Walked in to the office this morning & they have decorated my desk - so many balloons i can only just about see the screen - it does smell quite rubbbery around here. I also seem to have loads of birthday confetti sprinkled about & loads have gone inside the keyboard - hope i don't an electric shock with all this tin foil in there. They have made a sort of montage of pictures of John Barrowman & stuck those all around the desk - just because I said I loved watching "Torchwood " and made a comment the other day that he must work out a lot as he had a very fit body.

Have to admit it gave me a giggle - but I have been a little sneaky & replaced a couple of pictures with the ones I do quite fancy "David James Elliott from Jag & Yannik Bisson from the Sue Thomas series" Looking at the pictures well they are all the dark haired brooding variety. Its quite nice though.

Well grumpy is still grumpy - no idea why - he doesn't think he is - said this morning that I hope he cheers up a bit before we go away tomorrow. Beginning to wonder what I booked us out for a couple of nights.


Waves & Hugs to Reece & Evelyn ((((((~~~~~~~~~~~~))))))

Josie - any news on the jobs front?

Well better get some work done as i need to leave it all tidy for Monday when he is back & i am off - otherwise he will think I have been slacking the last two weeks.

May not pop in for the next two or three days as we are in Wiltshire - Will think of you all tomorrow when I have my glass of wine with dinner.

Take care all

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

ooooooh! Have I missed something? Is it your birthday Anne? If so, have a very, very, happy day. Enjoy your weekend in Wiltshire - there are some beautiful places in that county. My parents lived in Chippenham for a while and they used to take us out to some very olde worlde sites.



Fridays are days when I keep housework to a minimum and we go out to lunch......so it's a sort of 'play' day. Have given up on the tennis though ;-)

Hope Arthur's drains and patio are progressing well. As for Hot Matches, I rarely look at them now. I think the best way of checking who else has your relatives in their tree is to put their details into the Search Trees box.

Having got my tree to the size I want it - not too large - I think my next stage is to 'flesh' it out a bit by checking addresses and occupations and adding interesting family hearsay to it.

I have also thought of 'google-earthing' the addresses to see if they still exist and I may continue to google the churches where life events happened and print off a copy for my files.

I have even been to old book fairs where they sell postcards from yesteryear and rummaged through the areas I am interested in. Great fun.


Ah well, off to play!

Hope you are all well - with special love to Evelyn - I do miss Ven.Robert and Frank though.......sigh. Cx <3

I hate birthdays, anniversaries and other celebrations, but my Wife reminded me yesterday that it was 14 years to the day since she had her mastectomy.

Hello Everyone, Ron had chemo again yesterday, he was weighed prior to that and has gained another 2lbs so that is very pleasing, today he is a bit under the weather but that is quite usual, he is having a nap in front of the
TV at the moment.
PLEASE before I pull my hair out can anyone help me??
Stupid notices from Apps 4 U keep popping up on my screen and I dont know how to stop them , it stops me being able to do any work on my laptop and I am getting very annoyed by it, if someone can help I would be VERY pleased.
Love to all
Evelyn XX

Hello Evelyn, this is when we really need Frank isn't it???

I have had a google and came up with the following comments I found - don't know if they will be helpful or not!

I quote.....******
APPS4U seems to be part of the Vuze Community toolbar, because when I removed that, poof! No APPS4U!

and........

Here's a really easy way to dump that annoying toolbar (and the darned Bing search which became my default search engine).

Go to Firefox preferences, click on General then click add ons, then click manage add ons. Go through the list of add ons then simply delete the Vuze Toolbar.

Restart Firefox and your done!!



******* end of quote.


Seems like it's something to do with add-ons.


Sorry I can't be more help.....hopefully, someone else will really rescue you.


~~~~~~~~~ to Robert :-D

When I first got my laptop BIng was the search engine/page that it defaulted to so I just changed it. It is still hanging around but not anywhere annoying, probably in a cupboard somewhere.

The laptop also came with it's own HP advisor docking thing at the top of my screen... I would close it at the start of each session and back it would come... so I told it to butt out completely and removed it by unpinning it from my task bar.

I see on the page Cyns has been to on google that 245 people have this problem.. 245 too many I would say... start a support group Evelyn.

It is a wonder my computer runs properly at all... by the time I have added this and taken away that etc... I have banned all adverts as well as I can't abide these ones that move and jump about and distract me.

If you have just recently got this Evelyn someone must've downloaded it onto your PC... so to get completely rid of it remove download and do an uninstall ... sometimes when you delete or remove you only get rid of the short cut.

Some apps say things like remind me in 20 mins etc to which I tell them I will let them know. You have to let them know it's your PC and you will run it not the other way round.

Probably not helpful Cyns .... I see you rubbing your head now wishing you hadn't asked.
;-)

Bald I am Persie........ :-D

While you are browsing, ie on a site....go to the top right of the page and click on 'Tools'

You will then see 'Pop Up Blocker' click on this and turn it on

Thank you Ginny that seems to have worked

Glad to help Evelyn.....just wish I could find your mom!

That's good Evelyn..........good job Gins knows what she's doing.....well, some of the time anyway! She's not usually around on a Friday night.......say no more!
