I know he goes to Bingo.I think he is very well known in Galashiels.His son who died 10 years ago was a dwarf and his son is the same .He is ! I think 18 and hopefully will start Uni there this year.She really doesn't want to know ! lol.He sounds a bit like Rab c Nesbitt.(if you know what I mean) !!!!!

I shalln't tell my B Brother who lives in Galashiels.lol.She really doesn't want to meet him.If he found out where she sings he would turn up,and even though he is a friendly and likeable person ,he has no idea of how to behave appropriately !!!!!!!!!!.Good luck for your daughter I hope she does well.

Oh right!
No it's the X FACTOR. she has to be at Hampden Park Football ground on Saturday the 9th May(next sat) at 8.00am for an audition she singing, she's known as the Kareoke(spelling not right) Queen in her circle of freinds, there's quite a few people she knows from Galashiels going, and a few from her own home town.
It's a matter of first come first served, so she'll be in for a long wait.

Afternoon all
weather!!!!!, why do I always start with the weather, cos I'm fed up with seeing the RAIN!!!!
no really to day we have a mixture , sunny with showers and chilly winds, Temp only 11 degrees, so I'm still wearing my winter jacket to church this morning, arrived to a warm church , take coat off, 2/3 hot flushes, take off a light cardigan. then as the service goes on temp starts to cool down .On goes cardigan, half an hour to the end on goes coat, ON & OFF ,ON & OFF

All this talk of food is making me hungry, we are having Lamb for dinner , haven't made up my mind as what veg to have, it's a decision between cauli & carrots or carrots & green beans.
whatever we have today, tomorrow we'll have the other . I have slid into the salads gently, mainly with my lunch, but the rest of the family moan if we have salad and it's still cold outside.

For pudding is strawberries raspberries icecream and these wonderful shortbread biscuits with bits of strawberry in that I found in Te***.,and if anyone fancies I have some chantilly cream.
As for tracing family.I have found 2 half brothers and a cousin.I was one of 8 but no names of fathers.I did start looking at B Mothers line but was then told that her father probably wasn't !!!!!.I don't know what FTF is.To be honest I am happy enough to find out a bit of where I came from,but I would have loved to have been able to trace back.But hey that is life.I hope to find out more when I meet up with one brother sometime.

Jane Report 3 May 2009 13:15
