Afternoon ladies, had another bad nights sleep woke at about 5am for the loo, haven't got up for a tiddle break for a week or so. Had the sweats bad though! Hubby was sweating well too, wonder if he's on the change too!

Going to visit a very good artist this afternoon,a lady named Sandra Haywood. She has her gallery open this afternoon so that will be very enjoyable. My hubby won't come with me he says he's not int all that cr*p! "Uncultured crone" as Tony Hancock would have said!! Anyone who's seen his film The Rebel will know what I mean!! My daughter is coming with me so that will be nice.

Hope that you all have a lovely day...Tina hasn't been about lately has she...perhaps i've just missed her as I've been doing a few night shifts.

Take care

Pam.xx

My girls went nearly every where in the car. mind you they did walk to school as it was only ten minutes along the road, they loved going on the train. and were realy excited the first time they went on a plane oldest girl being 12 and the youngest being 6 ,
OH grandmother had died the year before and had left money in her will to her 5 grandsons and we used our money to take the girls to Disney Land, Florida, wanted to wait till no 2 daughter was old enough to really enjoy Disney land, also OH job being in the mechant navy he wasn't bothered about holidays abroad,

It was a treat for my children to go on a bus lol.They were so used to the car the bus seemed exciting.

You are forgiven Marilyn!!

Oh yes Sorry JANE...

Dont know why I did that....senior moment ! LOL


Just come back from the town......how I hate the town, but granddaughter was driving me crazy,and wanted a bus ride I was so shocked at the fare for her she's only 7yrs and it was £2-20p return , good job I have a bus pass .
Now I feel really sorry for other family's that have more than one child...

She's happy now because I have bought a a new reading book.Might keep her quiet for 5mins ..LOL

Oh Marilyn big trouble , Jane is on the war path LOL
Just been and checked my hot matches, NOTHING!!! have'nt had any contacts for ages.

Marilyn you called me Helen lololol Tut Tut.

Did a bit of cleaning at dads today. and now I am suffering for it' back's acheing think I'll have a soak before dinner , Got a couple of Scotland vouchers at my family History meeting last Thursday. get them for £4 each instead of paying £6 each on the webb , so I might have a go and see if I can find any new rellies. really struggling now as I am looking for people who were married for 1920 onwards, and if you find an index you think might be one of yours. sometimes there's no image , I save them up and look them up when I go to Edinburgh.
also will have to look at my Hot matches I haven't got round to them yet.

That was a strange dream Jane.........isn't it funny how they always end in the middle!! lol

Your cake sounds delicious Tina. I've decided to do a frothy evap milk lime jelly this afternoon.....haven't done one for yonks and OH will love it!! How nice to have my kitchen back.......however, I did find a long piece of bracket in polythene in the corner of the sliding corner cupboard this morning......and wondered if it should be fixed somewhere!!

Helen,

Trust me to get the spelling wrong !! LOL

Yes the Mussel pub in Down Thomas new owners so going to see what they can dish up !

I am waiting for my grand daughter so got this in before she takes over the Lappy.....only 7 yrs !!

Morning Ladies.
I dreamt I was cooking a huge joint of beef and it was looking really good,but when I came to carve it ,it was frozen and my roast potatoes were in the bedside cabinet and they were burnt.I was cooking it for those two gay chaps on TV Justin and someone(can't think of his name) They drive me mad as they are so flipping daft so I have no idea why I was entertaining them lol

I was watching Ancient Civilization at 3.30 this morning I was totally wide awake.Then I read my book.!!!!!!!I did spend the night in spare room as Ididn't want OH to wake me at 6 when he got up for work!!!!!!!!!!I was awake at 6 too and heard him get up.I will probably feel pooped later.

Marilyn do you mean The Mussel at Down Thomas?They used to have a Mina Bird in there years ago.It was a right noisy thing.

Off to weed while the sun is out.BBL

Morning ladies,

Hope you're all keeping okay.

Don't know whether it's the change or the couple of nights at work I've done...but had weird dreams again last night...suspect it's the change somehow!

Got busy day today, catching up with my life mostly!! Be back this evening I expect.

My membership runs out on GR on the 22nd May, last time they reminded me, but as yet no reminder, wonder if I should just send my cheque for £9.95 like last time......don't want to give them my bank details. Perhaps they'll remind me in a day or two.

Going back to names in trees, I have Winston Churchill in my tree, as I was a Churchill. - Not the Winston Churchill though, lol. Must be a link somewhere but cannot find it.

On another branch, which I have yet to link into, can trace back to the Duke of Normandy - but on the wrong side of the sheets, as it was the concubine or mistress of said Duke!

Have found that one of my rellies, from my GGG grandfather has a very successful business, since GGG grandfather had a small shop.

Also found that different branches have butchers in, and they are not linked to the other branches, just coincidence, so that was interesting to see.

Lastly, I had a great aunt and uncle who were mayor and mayoress of Wells. Even stranger, when I went on a cruise many years ago, I met up with a couple and they said where they came from and I mentioned about my family from there and this person knew my uncle very well! Weird! lol

Well it's my sisters birthday tomorrow, so I have lots to do, making a trifle, and a Victoria sponge ready to put together tomorrow with fresh cream and strawberries in the middle - yummy - better not make it up today - it would not last - and thats OH! lol I might just do some fairy cakes too, OH can have some of those with his cuppa this afternoon. Prepare all the veggies and stuffing, so I am all up together and can "relax" lol a bit tomorrow.

Will be up my sisters all evening, watching the Eurovision, we so love watching it every year and having a right laugh, usually at what Terry Wogan comes out with, because he usually says what we are all thinking or saying at home. Although he is not doing it this year is he? It's Graham Norton, well we will have to see if he can match Tel!

Have a good day everybody ~~~~~~~~~~~ sorry I have missed you all.

Tina xxx

EDIT: ~~~~~waves at Marilyn~~~~ It certainly is blowy up here in Bristol too. Have a lovely evening - dont drink too much! LOL xx
