Linda,

I had not realised that the flannel was that threadbare!

Avert your eyes you shameless person!!

"Dribble, dribble, drool and quibble"

AhhhHa, AHHHAAAA aha (manic laughter)

Excuse me, but I am not the one wandering around hardly covering my modesty!
Or is this just part of your plan to try and make Sue believe that you are bonkers?

Having thought about that, it shouldn't take much doing!

Good Afternoon Linda,

I hope your sister arrived home safely - much better day to travel than when she came up. Could hardly have been worse.
I have two sisters, one never had children, and is so organised, it is painful. Her life runs like clockwork, or a railway timetable. The other sister is a dizzy dame, she had three boys, all grown up and gone. This is the one that came to visit via the Tyne bridge. She is a lovely person, but lives her life in chaos and disarray. Ordered ceramic tiles from a DIY store, hearing nothing for weeks, she phoned, told there was no record of the order she went to the store, lambasted the manager as only she could.
Producing the receipt/invoice from her handbag, the manager politely pointed out that she was in the wrong DIY store. I love her to bits.

My brothers are strange too, but we won't go there. So glad I am the only sane one.

Lovely to hear about your family Tec and it explains such a lot!

I said that they were strange, and I'm glad to be sane!

Berona will confirm that the eldest is invariably the sane one.

Tec,
My Sister is the older than me. Does this mean she is sane and I'm not?

I don't know your sister

Actually Tec,she is more sensible than me!

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 15 Nov 2009 19:33

Now I am confused......

Who is more sensible than whom?

Have the sisterhood resorted to mind games?

Sorry Pat......Good Evening,

I lost the plot there for a minute, thought I was still talking to Linda,

That will teach me to pay attention to detail............

Poor old soul.........

Pat, That should be fun,

I really miss that, but that's about all

I have never doubted it Linda.

Evening Barbra,
How did you know I had a plinth in Madame Tussauds?

I've heard about you and the Black Pudding - lethal combination

Yes Tec, there was a bear involved.
I've never tasted black pudding.
