Glad everyone enjoyed Saturday.

I am in one piece and back is intact. My nephew and his partner were great and we really did achieve a lot. what would take me weeks on my own took hours. I am feeling encouraged to continue, even if it means missing the Olympics live - can always watch the 'live' video' or the highlights. The BBC coverage is superb.

Everyone sad to see the area reinstated as a 'grass verge' - something it never was.

The exercise is good for me and I am concentrating on this benefit. Have my weight checked on August 7, and need to lose about 2 kg to achieve the weight at last check.

Arthur - glad some good has come out of all this upheavel

Why can't people keep their noses out -

Well all back home and back to work - see no-one won the 105 Million at the weekend then - rolled over to 119 now.

We can but dream -

Need to do a lot of exercise to lose all the weight from the vast amount of food eaten at the weekend - you certainly looked after us well Sue

Sally & Reece you can be offical decorators for all the parties from now on - the pool area looked amazing

Sylvia what were you doing in Iceland with Robert - or should I not ask
You certainly missed a good party.

My Oh has officially announced he thinks we are all raving - even though he kept up to speed with what was going on -

Evelyn how was the birthday weekend then?

Well back to work for me Take care all

Hi Everyone

What a bright site we now have...i have not made up my mind yet if i like it or not.

Congrats on the gold medal as usual it takes the women to show up the men.

Our lot make to much of medals i think they all should be proud just to be in the olympics.
Can some one tell why I do not have my icons anymore ..is it the same for you guys to or just me.

We are looking after the 17yr old Grandson for a week while his parents holiday in Bali alls good so far.

Off to do the boys lunches for tomorrow....hope everyone is over the Party.

suex

Hi Everyone

I have lost my faces ...tried everything...cleaned my Cache so what next do I do.

HELP !

SUEX

Hi Everyone,

I did not realise how long it has been!

I am devastated that I missed out on a great Party :-( :-( :-(
Though It is wonderful to see that our venerable Robert has come out of his shell and that you are visiting the thread again Evelyn.

What an appalling thing to happen to your Mother in Law Susan. I hope she is okay now.

The Weather is cold and miserable here in NZ., I hate winter :-| The Arthritis in my knees is playing up. and working Evening shifts in my new job means I leave a warm house to go out in the Cold to start work at 5pm and then leave the warm Call Centre at 9pm and come back out to even more cold and darkness to go home. Subsequently I have been in a lot of pain with my Knees.

But apart from the Cold and the pain, I am enjoying my new Job very much and on my first performance review I got 85%, they only expect about 60-70% with new people, so I was absolutely delighted.
Not bad considering I Have had a phobia about phoning up strangers all my life and for the first week I was nearly physically sick for a couple of hours before leaving to go to work.

My 22 year old Son finally left home at the beginning of July. It is quite strange for OH and me to be on our own for the first time in 26 years. But we are enjoying the quiet and also the cheaper utility bills. Plus of course no longer having to wash every day. :-) :-)

Take care everyone will catch you all later. Josie <3 <3 <3 :-) :-) :-)

Hi all.

Sorry about your eye problem Sally. I must say I like the new site - it's very fresh and modern. There is some advice on one of the threads on how to adjust the brightness.

Sue, Try going to Tools at the top of your page, go to compatibility settings and click. Gins put this advice on her thread. Hope it helps.


Syvia? Use your atlas next time...... sheeeeeesh :-S


Hi Josie, so good to hear from you again and it's such good news about your job too. You've done really well in overcoming your fears. Well done you!!!


Poor Arthur, all that hard work......glad you had plenty of help. :-D I still can't believe that the council are so petty minded.


I've been busy all week.....not sure what I've been doing, but I don't seem to have stopped........ :-S Must have caught Anne's workaholicism!!!!


Love to all. Cx <3

Hi Josie

NIce to see you back again and I am so glad you like your new job...noticed you still have your Icons do you know what has happened to mine I wonder.

Very nice not having the kids at home any more but there are time when I mss them...I am one of those that like to be needed.

Sally I am sorry to hear you will not be posting anymore but i don't think you are on your own ...not a lot of people like the new site .
It does hurt my eyes after a while too....I am just sorry I do not have my faces anymore I hope they come back at some stage,they were there before they changed everything again.

Will miss you Sally maybe they will change it again.

suex

Susan had a thought re; your icons. This may not fix the Problem but worth checking out.
With Genes having re- vamped this Site they will have used the latest version of Java which allows you to view objects on web pages. It could be that your version of Java is to old. If you 'Google' Java you should be able to find a site to download a free version to update.

All the Best Josie <3

Josie

Thank You for that ,I have now got my icons back I just needed to tools ..compatibility and click there and it was fixed ...I have been at it all today trying to fix it .

A BIG THANKYOU TO CYNTHIA... What I would like to know is why Genes could not have told me that when I complained about it yesterday.

It is too bright for me not good for Glaucoma sufferers,I suppose I could always wear my sunglasses at the computer that would work ;-)

AH well pooring down with rain here and it is so cold .

suex <3 <3 <3 :-D :-D :-D

Sally what a shame - we will all miss you

Check out or get someone in the family to check out the suggestions as there is a way to darken the screen up for you

Josie - wonderful news about the job - nice to hear you so happy - enjoy your freedom

Sue hope you have a fun time with your Grandson - dont let the boys get up to too much fun without you around.

Cynthia - do you need a helping hand - I seem to have been busy - but have nothing to show for it. We could be workaholics together - BTW i am working Sunday morning - just for a change

From Midday Tuesday to 6pm yesterday (apart from going home on Tuesday) i spent the whole day trying to sort out a Car hire situation between the UK - USA & Southern Ireland - glad I am not paying the phone bill. I was on a call for over 3 hours at one point - let alone all the internet/email time.

I felt so demanding - send a little email to Ireland - "Call me now" & he did

Send a little email to a concierge in a hotel in San Francisco - "Urgent need to speak with you" & he called me.

I didn't realise I had such power & they were so sweet as well - It felt lovely having two men running after me all afternoon.

It has still continued on to today - feel like banging my head against a brick wall.

Then we have it all again next week when they change cars. aaaaaaaaaaagh :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S

Sue I still have my little faces - think there is something on suggestions about that too.

Must fly - in demand again

Take care all

Hello Everyone,
I have now returned from my travels, feeling rather giddy after all the buzzing about.
I am now the proud owner of an I Pad,I shall now have to teach myself how to use it, it seems like a natty little gadget.
I had a wonderful birthday with my family, we went to a lovely hotel for dinner and after our meal I was presented with a super birthday cake complete with candles (not 80 ) after I blew the candles out all the waiters gathered round and sand Happy Birthday for me, I was quite touched.
Claire took me to a dog rescue centre, she has been there on various occasions looking for the RIGHT dog, I think we have now found her,should everything go to plan I think the said canine will be moving in about 7 days from now.
I am watching for the postman to deliver my Lamingtons, my favourite snack.
Glad you all had a good time at the party, I shall do my best to come to the next one.
Love to you all
Evelyn XXX <3 <3 <3

The waiters did not sand they SANG

Hi Evelyn,
Glad to hear you have had a great time and that you had a lovely 80th Birthday.
Belated Birthday Greetings <3 <3 <3 <3

Am quite envious to know that you have an iPad, they are an amazing piece of Technology I am sure it will not take you long to get the hang of it.

Glad you ahd a wonderful time on your birthday

What variety of Dog Evelyn - are you going to rename the "Doggie" or does he or she already have a lovely name - you are going to love having company - think of all those long walks & excited attention.

We would love anotehr dog - we both miss ours - trouble is we are never at home - so will have to wait until we retire.

My friend said to me the other day

Dogs have masters - Cats have staff -

I feel like that with our adopted cats - I seem to be at their beck & call all the time - sit down with food - "I want to come in" "feed me - FEED ME NOW" sit down again - "I want to go out - LET ME OUT NOW" I have to admit they are very demanding little creatures

Then they plonk themselves on your lap - "attention - attention now" splat witht he paw - "STOP STROKING ME NOW" Then they shove you off your seat because they want it , or jump on it as soon as you leave it.

Funny little things - should have seen the small fluffy one this morning - black with little white paws - looks adorable - must have walked through a spiders web - she looked so funny & sticky - would not let me clean her off - swore something awful when i tried to clean her up - then stomped out the house without breakfast - came back 5 mins later to eat the food - bypassed me in the hall with a swipe of the paw.

I would really miss them if they wern't there

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

Its me again.
Doggie is not for me, it is for my daughter and her family, I think her name is going to be Lexi, she is about 5 or 6 months old and I believe her to be an alsatian/collie cross, very nice natured animal and walks VERY well on a lead and is friendly towards humans and other dogs, I think she will make a super pet and will certainly be going to a good loving home. I had a good laugh at Lexi drinking water from a bottle, wish I lived closer then I could take her walkies
Lovely sunny day here today though a bit windy, the weather,not me.
Havent done much housework today but have spent a lot of time with my new toy (I Pad )
Feeling thirsty now, bet this I Pad doesnt make coffee.
Think I had better make my own coffee so cheerio.
Love to you all XXX

Hi Evelyn,

Congratulations and welcome to the 80's Club.

Life begins at 80!!!

Thank you for allowing me to join your exclusive club Robert, nice to be made to feel welcome. I will try very hard not to break any club rules.
Have been playing with the I Pad, it is such a clever gadget, I think I shall get used to it fairly quickly, I have a separate keypad which I find useful.
Time for pill patrol, supper and bed so goodnight everyone.
Evelyn XX
