Morning All,

Think it rained in the night. Brightish this morning and OH is clearing up the fallen apples in the orchard as I think his sister may stay overnight with her OH. The path up to the caravan is nearly all under the apple trees and if you step on one inthe dark you could hurt yourself.

I remember getting Bicky Pegs in a parcel free from the hosp when I had my son. I knew what Jill meant the minute I read her post.

Did'nt manage to get back on pooter last night as was so tired after my day of clearing up and cleaning windows.

I had a friend at the pet shop whose son was interested in Falconry. I drew him some pics of birds with their covers over their eyes. The child was delighted. Never done any myself but OH looked after a wild one for quite a while once. It had been injured and he had to feed it through a hole so the bird would'nt get to see him and so could be released back into the wild.

Hope you find that passport Jill. Look for something else and you are sure to find it. Or ask the fairies for it back three times. thats what I do!!!

Sheila glad you enjoyed your visit to Mac D.

More windows to clean today and have to wash my hair which is quite an ordeal now with it being sooooooooooo loooooooonnnnngggggg.

May even attempt a colour to hide my grey!!!!

I breast fed my son for quite a while as he only weighed 5lb 3 when born. I was given those breast shells to wear inside my bra. They were glass with a little hole in one side. The only problem I had was that if I bent down they leaked.

Frank the walk by the canal sounded nice, perhaps you could do it again and take your camera this time.

Hi Shirl glad your coping girl.

Liz do have a lovely time with those grandchilden. Safe journey!

I watched the program on Kibworth last night. I have enjoyed the bits I have seen of it.

Ann I shall be interested in the thing on Ag Labs. as they are loads in my family. One was down once as an Ag. Lab Thesher. He would go round to all the farms and do their harvest Theshing. He ran off and left his wife and children.

JANE THEY WERE BICKY PEGS! Jill remembered. Did'nt they have dimples in them? and they did look a bit like pegs. I think they were a teething biscuit.

I didn't get on the thread last night, before bed. so missed all the chat.

We used those biscuits for our children when they were teething.

My Mum use ti give her grandchildren and us when babies "Butter/sugar teats. Knob of butter ,spoonfull of sugar wraped in a piece of musslin. and knotted ,then pinned to their dress/coat on a lenght of ribbon. They would suck on that and sooth them.
My nieces and nephews had those banana shaped bottles. YES they were suppose to stop them getting wind.

Shelia, If you still have that list I would like it. Thanks.

Jill, HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR CASE. or hand luggage bag, It's somewhere you might put it, and not need to look till you pack again.
Ros has taken his Lordship to the cinema this morning with a friend. Then on for a Chickrn Mc D. As we haven't taken him for a chinese this week, I said we would get a takeaway tonight. He goes back tomorrow evening. The week has gone so quickly.

Jane I have pm you.

Frank! I have replied.
Just popping off to the new AS** .See if can get there today with no traffic queues.

Having a nice coffee after cleaning six sides of full length glass doors and a huge floor to ceiling window in the lounge where the front door used to be years ago. It's round the back of the bungalow!!!! Fancy having a front door at the back.

I have been the perfect husband. Have stripped the beds, Done a whites wash. and its now on the line. I am going to get the ironing board out now, and do 1/2 doz shirts. and any odds and sods thet need doing. Then if the sheets etc are dry, I will get to and iron them. She will have nothing to do when she gets home, even though I will be Bugger#d.

Mel, I am going to have a coffee before I start. A mans work is vever done !!!!!

Frank ,can I employ you as my Domestic? It sounds as though you would do a brilliant job,and Mel can be my Window Cleaner lol
I'm off to the hairdressers now,the appointment is at 3 so I'd better get my skates on.

Didn't manage to get on here yesterday, dil came over with Finley, we were supposed to sort out all the boot sale stuff and get it up in the loft for next year but Finley is a big distraction. Such a happy baby, smiles everytime you look at him. Have taken loads more photos and will send them on once I get them on the computer. We did manage to clear the bedroom eventually and son has assembled the d.bed so I am slowly getting my bedrooms back and should get all the art stuff out in the single bedroom soon.

Hope Ros is feeling a bit better today Frank, don't suppose the cold weather helps much either.

When are the babies due Sheila, my daughter has been given 16th May for her baby. Just shows how long since I've been to McD's didn't know Ronald had been ousted for Roland.

Is the song just called Whispering Shirl. I remember one called Whispering Grass or something like that, wasn't it two guy from It Aint Half Hot Mum had a number 1 with it.

Afternoon all
yes my lot had bicky pegs. , haven't seen them in many of the shops much now. I think B**ts will probabably still do them.
I like B**ts for all there baby stuff they have some lovely little red outfits in for Christmas.

Took a top back to B*S today, which I bought last week, decided it was too clingy. never found another one to replace it. saved some money there.

A lot of glass doors Mel , I have 4 mirriored wardrobe doors in my bedroom and they are awful things to keep clean, but don't want to change them because they give the effect of making the room look bigger.

cold and dry this morning but heavy showers this afternoon.

We haven't seen little Finley for ages Maureen.I can't wait to see his pics.My file or whatever it's called where I put everyones pics has so many in now.I often have a look back through them.
I am looking at my windows and mirrors Fiona........oh they are mucky lol.Another job to do.
no rain here so far today.I had a right laugh with Nigel (my hairdresser) just now.He was telling me all the things his children have got up to lol.I just said been there ,done ,that and got the T Shirt lol

Afternoon all..
Back to work today, coughing and spluttering and staggering about...
Mel, i about to ask those fairies three times...not in earshot of OH though, he already thinks i m on the turn!
Hows the haircut Jane? Really must get mine chopped,i dont know how you cope with yours Mel.
Mirrored doors fiona...i expect they lighten the room....i could nt be brave enough to have them......bad enough looking at myself in bathroom mirror first thing in morning

Frank.....got to ask...how much do you charge per hour??!!
My OH irons creases in! And as for making the bed......dont think i ve ever seen him.

I feel like a new woman Jill .I love having my hair done .I find it sooooo relaxing.The only thing is bending my neck back over those uncomfortable sinks.It's about time someone made up a new design .I have heard of woman having a stroke after holding their heads back for so long on those sinks
Everyone around here seems to be doing the coughing and sniffing and snorting.Colds everywhere!!!,although not in this house yet.

Evening all,

Did you get to A*da Jane ,son orders from them and has it delivered ,their delivery charge is less than Te*co's only three pound i think he said ,they find that they don't spend as much ,only order what they want !!

Hope you've found your passport Jill, did you ask the fairies ?Mel i haven't heard of asking the fairies three times !!

Frank, can i book you to come and clean for me ?? i'll get you some of those nice rubber gloves with the fur round for the really dirty bits !!!!! washing, ironing and a good cook !! Ros got a good one when she married you !!!!

Maureen, looking forward to seeing the photo's of Finley , i haven't taken any of Katie lately ,she's such a good little thing , mind you now she's crawling she'll be after all sorts !!

Haven't had the family for tea today ,their coming tomorrow instead for Roast Chicken, i wanted to keep Toby quiet because of the pulled muscle in his leg ,he does seem better today .

I did Mandy.I just wanted to go and have a look really .They have some really good buys at the moment ,but that is probably just to get people in there.I may pop in there now and again .
I hope dear Toby is alright .It's not easy to keep them quiet and calm though is it?

Great photo's of Finley Maureen .he is certainly growing fast,
Why do cats love raking in bins, mind you my OH dog Rothbart loved tin cans from the dustbin he would tip the peddlebin over and drag out whatever tin there was , better if it had had meat in and stick his nose in it and don't you dare try & take it away.

Aren't they great Fiona.I think I can see a bit of our Maureen in Finley.
I could write a book on all food stealing stories that my sisters dogs have done lol.......A whole pan of Spag Bol......a whole Xmas cake..........half a pound of butter......all the chocolates off the Xmas tree........and they left the wrappers lol
plus a lot more .Too many things for me to remember.
My old dog Dodger unwrapped a lot of chocolates left under the Xmas tree and ate the chocs as we discovered on Christmas morning.I seem to remember he had a bit of a tummy upset later on lol
