General Chat

That is what I thought but have altered it now as she said 29th :-S

Just been to Hobbycraft to spend a £20 gift card from my son and family for my birthday. then also spent £18 of OH's birthday money.

:-D :-D :-D :-D Sallie yours is the 28th :-D :-D :-D :-D

Sallie ours is indeed a week today, yours can't be the day after if it is the 29th though!!!

Huia I am so pleased that you had a good day with all your and Phil's friends and relations to remember him.

Marie, good to see you and congratulations on the arrival of your great grandson. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

We had about 60 people there today for the memorial talk-fest. It was a light-hearted affair. Quite a few people spoke of Phil, and said what a great man he was. We had put up about 70 photos on 3 boards of all aspects of his life, until he went into care 5 years ago. It was a lovely day.

Hello to you all, Yes Sallie it has been awhile, I just do not seem to find the time to chat.

Congratulations to you all on your Wedding Anniversaries.

Hi girls,


Sylvia, sending belated birthday wishes to your OH, pleased that you had your usual good meal at your local bistro to celebrate.


It would have been nice if you could have made over for your niece's wedding tomorrow, I'm sure that you would loved meeting up with the family that are left over here.




Ann, you and T's wedding annive
rsary is a week tomorrow and our's is the following day, 29th, like Sylvia and her OH we will be married 47 years. Where on earth has the time gone? lol!!

I also have the eBosser die cutting machine, although I hardly use it, I still use my Grand Calibre, but I must start to use it more than I do.

Pleased that you and T had a lovely week away and I'm sure it was lovely seeing all the family.



Jean, it will be lovely when the conservatory roof will be done and finished. As you say, it will give you a chance to get some things sorted and hopefully be able to get rid of some of it.
We keep telling ourselves that we must start sorting out things here, but haven't got any nearer to making a start.LOL


Pleased to know that all your hospital results are okay, you can relax a bit now with not a lot to worry about.



Mo, hope everything is okay with , as we haven't heard from her since last week..



Huia hope that you are okay I expect you are a very busy bee.



Marie, it's a long time since we heard from you, hope that all is okay with you and your family.




Will say goodnight now, speak to you all again soon.




Love, Sallie. xxx

Thank you, Ann xx


it was our 47th last week :-)

Oh dear Sylvia, house buying is bad enough without solicitors doing a moonlight flit!

Belated birthday wishes to your OH and best wishes on your anniversary. It is our 54th on the 27th. :-D

Hi Mo, and everyone


Last week it was our anniversary, and we went for dinner to our favourite restaurant

Yesterday it was OH's birthday, and I took him to our neighbourhood bistro-style place ......................... he likes it there, and we had our usual good meal.

We also saw a lady in the restaurant who we had not seen for about 2 years, and had quite a little chat with her.





.............. it was a bit hard to remember that last year we were up north with his sister who was seemingly in good health and recovering after her chemo :-(



My internet was off for several hours this morning ............. when I did get in, I found an email from my brother's youngest daughter telling us that she was getting married tomorrow in Sheffield :-0

She's always been against marriage ........... too many bad examples in the family .................. so now is marrying for the first time ............... she'll be 55 at the end of the month!


Wish she would have let us know sooner ..............we'd have tried to get over for it.


They've apparently bought a cottage in Devon ............... which needs a lot of work ........... she says "new kitchen, bathroom, en-suite and large extension"

Plus, the solicitor skipped off to London 3 days before completion, so they had to find a new one to pick up the pieces!





take care everyone

Thanks Jean xx

Ann I have the E-Bosser,I like it a lot the only drawback it doesnt always cut if the die is in middle, but not a problem really,just turn the die round Embossing is very good, I still have the cuttlebug, although I havent used it since I got e-bosser,its quite heavy so best to have it were you can get to it easily.....the insruction book is very good and clear.I got a A4 folder with it too and have bought some more, . also square ones...

love Jean xx ps love the pics , Luke is lovely boy...... <3

Jean, when you swapped to an electronic die cutter, which one did you buy? Are you pleased with it still?

I will try again, I wrote a long reply yesterday and just finished it and it went goodness knows where :-| :-| so here goes ...... thanks Ann and Sallie for your kind thoughts for my friend, she is making good progress but sadly her oh is not...

my visit to the clinic was very good they are lovely folk all very kind , my consultant was the man I saw in 2011 about the vertigo which is now playing games again, :-| :-|
I have just recieved the copy of the letter he sent to my doctor describing me as a very pleasent 79 year old lady. :-D :-D :-D :-D

C came to see us on Sunday morning, like a whirlwind , he devoured a dish of cereal then took J to get his special cup , all the toys came out and he also sat with D and played with her I-Pad, we had a lovely time,so good for D he adores her,

We have a date for the new roof 4th Sept, so we need to clear out as much as we can, I have large craft tote so a lot of stuff can go in that...luckily it should only take one day, so we can take our time putting stuff back.... another chance at a clear out

hope everyone else is ok,home and away.....

just off to look at your pics Ann....

Love Jean <3 <3 <3

Photos from Hampshire on photo blog.

wow almost a week since anyone posted.

Jean I am so sorry about your friend and hope she recovers from the stroke. And her poor OH as well.

I can't remember if I commented about your throat. glad it was not anything serious then. My sister has/had the same probelm which has stopped her doing Am Dram/singing.

Mo, Sallie and Jean thank you so much for your cards, loved them all. I had so many both that I took with me and received on our return that I struggled to find places for them. Having the birthday group cards does boost them Lol!!!!

Jean, I've sent you a pm, our messages crossed. So pleased to know that all went well at the hospital for you, thank goodness for that. It looks as though you have the hidden talent of a bingo caller. LOL It made me chuckle when you told us what the doctor had asked you.

So sorry to hear to hear about your friend, I bet her OH was so very confused to watch her having it.. Jean I am thinking of them both and hope she will make a good recovery from the stroke.
Love and special thoughts to them both. <3 <3 <3




Goodnight all.




Love, Sallie. xxx

Sallie I was just going to pm you, the visit tio the clinic went very well , I saw a doctor I saw in 2011 he advised me about the vertigo, lovely man, he explained every step of the way, and the camera was over and done in just a few minuetes, it seems my vocal cords are strained, he made me laugh when he asked did i go to bingo, did I shout a lot , I used to sing a lot but that was years ago, so its still a mystery but nothing to worry about.He did say whispering when I talk does more harm than normal talking, I do talk softly so need to raise the tone, but such a relief....thank you for thinking about me....

Ann, I had forgot you were away , so you have your money gifts to spend later and more cards too. enjoy the rest of your holiday hope your family are all doing o.k.

we had some sad news our friend who used to live in Cyprus , her OH as dementiar (sp) , they were visiting some friends down south and she had a major stroke, D her oh couldnt understand what was happening and was in a bad state, however she is now home, but he has gone worse, we are going to see them as soon as its ok to go.... please think of them both ....

love Jean xx

Hi girls,


Jean, I am wondering how you got on with your hospital appointment today...I hope that it all went well, with nothing to worry about. Thinking of you.




Ann, so pleased to know that you and T are having a nice break in Lee on Solent and that you are enjoying your birthday so far. Enjoy the rest of your week and with your daughter and her family on the weekend.

Also T's leg is improving each day and he is able to enjoy himself and not in too much pain and discomfort.





Mo. yes it was nice to meet up at Sheila's..... Joyce was pleased to see us all she was her usual jokey self we all had a good laugh together. She was looking quite well, which was nice to see, hope she continues that way for a long while now.

It was also nice to see Liz P, she and K were up in Derbyshire for the week, I don't think that they had stayed in Derbyshire before. They are hoping to have another break up here before the autumn so we are hoping to meet up with them one of the days.




Sylvia. pleased that you and OH enjoyed your anniversary meal out at your favourite restaurant. It sounds wonderful...I love rack of lamb too.



Huia, happy to know that Phi's funeral went as planned, Like the others, I don't think I would have liked to have gone into the furnace room either.. But everyone must do what they feel is best for them and what they are happy with.




Marie, we haven'y heard from you for a while, I hope that everything is okay with you all.




Well girls, will chat to you again soon.





Love, Sallie. xxx

Huia I am pleased that all went sell at the funeral, don't think I would want to see the furnace though.
Sallie pleased that you met with Joyce I am sure she enjoyed that.
Mo we are in Lee for 3 days then at our daughters house near winchester from Friday until Sunday.

Hi all

Thank you for your good wishes and thank you Shaun for the lovely card and the poem on here. I have done very well with a lot of cards and still some to come with being away. My presents are mainly money but I haven't seen anything I fancy yet. I look forward to spending it later.

Had a lovely day so far, drove all along by the sea from Lee to Stokes Bay, out past Haslar and Dolphin to Gosport. Parked the car and walked to the ferry to go across to Portsmouth. It was a bit rough but sunny and not cold. Several RN ships in including a large carrier which we think is HMS Ocean. Walked to Gunwharf Quay and had a look around the shops and sat down by the marina looking at the Spinnaker but chose not to go up. Back to the ferry and Gosport again. (I used to do this return trip on much older boats from 1956 to 1961 every weekday. In Gosport had lunch of a shared platter and a glass of wine each, back to the car and back to the B&B. Then walked out to the front to sit in the sun with a cuppa. Back to rest. Probably Chinese tonight.

Tony's leg seems much improved he is tired but it stood up well to the walking without pain so is hopefully on the mend.

Hi Mo


yes, we went to our favourite restaurant, and it was excellent as always :-)


I had rack of lamb, and OH had duck breast, both cooked to perfection
