LOL Fiona,

I was thinking way back he used to try and chat me up !!!!!! as I've known him since he was 18yrs, he asked so many times to go out with him but I turned him down all because he had a hole in his jumper LOL !! put me off of him, mind you it was a knitted one.

He did marry my friend though,and they have been married over 41 yrs now.
So he must have picked the right one .....

I haven't worked out the relationship yet just know we share blood LOL
Just think he could have been my hubby ....easy to work that one out !

Helen,
Now you are gonna laugh at this my Azalea is now a (Rhododendron) LOL

Hubby has just asked me where is your Rhododendron I'm ready to plant it !!

What said I, I thought it was an Azalea ...just checked the label.,and sure enough its a RHODODENDRON !!!!!!!!!!!
He will play on that ALL day now, the neighbours will get told soon and maybe put me in the hole he's dug instead !!

Fiona,
I have all sorts of bits and bobs of paper on my family history all over my table.
I really am not very organized in filing , but got a real shock yesterday My friend 's hubby has asked me to help him on his father.s side and we discovered his great grandfather married into my family ...how funny was that ? all these years we have known one another , we have a blood tie.
Better get and think about lunch......

Morning Marilyn
were to have the same weather as yesterday, rain , wind with the addition of a bit of sunshine.
Good day for catching up on a bit of Family history. got a lot of paper lying around so I need to go through the lot and figure out what I wrote before , thats the only trouble if I don't sort it out straight away , can't always read my own scribble later on.
Hopeing to get a marriage cert in the post today, trying to figure out if Great aunt was a widow when she married no 2 husband, because so far can't find no 1 husbands death(he's my Great uncle not no 2).

He definately would have been out of luck Marilyn.He was thinking of his own health I expect lol
Yes she is still asleep.OH is on the train to London now so he won't be back till I pick him up from the station at 7.30.
I have an azalea just coming into bud in a large pot on the patio.It is a beautiful red and looks stunning every year(I think it's an azalea) lol.

Helen,
Now read your plight I saw the funny side of it though....(Hubby) quote *have you washed your hands* ? now did he think it was his lucky night or just being a good DR,? LOL
Anyway so glad your able to take it easy today, Is she still in bed ?...Bless her.

Well its a lovely day today and my Azalea is going in today, hubby is out frantically digging away but came across some rocks ,I believe he's looking for gold now LOL
Better make him a coffee , or I'll be in the dog house ...

Hi Pam <Goodby Pam
Hope you have a good sleep.

Helen.
When you come on this morning, I hope you and your daughter have had a good night sleep, and your daughter is feeling a little better , she was in good hands being with her mum last night, hopefully it's just a tummybug and it's gone within 24 hours.

Morning all

Hope that your daughter is feeling better this morning Helen. I know what you mean it doesn't matter how old they are they're still our babies and you worry when they're poorly.

Update on the Sudocrem...it's brilliant stuff, I seem to be almost back to my flawless self!! Seriously though it has worked amamzingly quick.

Just to say never heard of Dunelm in the South of England, must be a Scottish or northern store?

I too, am off for an early night, have overdone it today with walking up the Mall which I believe from end to end is half a mile so I have walked a mile on my poor arthritic knees ankles and toes joints, dont know which leg to limp on lol

Night night everybody.

Hi Fiona,
I thought they must be nation wide, yes they had some lovely bedding in there too.

So I need to go back and have a good look around on my own...hubby can stay at home. next time.

I think I'll go back tomorrow,as they only had a couple left of the length I want as I want to chop some off to make a pelmet ,now that should keep hubby busy making me a pelmet ...Could be a disaster though, he made the last one too short !!
I'm off to get ready for the *Apprentice* .
See you all tomorrow.
xx

Jean
My daughter no 1 who is expecting baby in August (before pregnant)
was a 30 E now she is 5 months gone is having a terrible time trying to buy new bra's .every 4 weeks she's having to go out and by a new bra as she has gone up to a 32E she prefers the non underwire ones now, because the wire was digging into her tummy, no shops sell non underwired bra's in her size, so she had to buy(black only) bra's of E-bay shop webb sight , at least the webb site sell new under wear and not used.

Marilyn
we have a Dunelm here in Glasgow, it's a great shop ,I got all my bedding, bathroom accesories, cusions, from it and at christmas it has some lovely decorations, and great storage idea's

No Helen ,
Not Dingles I shall be so lucky.........LOL

Its called Dunelm a new shop in Exeter street where Wickes is, apposite the First & Last pub.

They are only £240 for a set....but because I normally make them for half the going rate ,he's not used to me thinking of spending that amount on them.
So I'm just waiting for him to say he wants a gadget of some sort ...and there will be fireworks ..!!!!!
Anyway I always win ..LOL

Now what do you think has just happend ????
Hubby has asked me for a 2nd class stamp, and I have just given him my BUS PASS !!!!!!
Think I ought to have an early night .!

I am still a 36a, but the hips keep spreading, now around 44inches. Try buying my size in bra's. manufacturers all seem to think 36b is the only size! Would never exchange my small bust for anything larger, had enough problems when I had the one removed, cant imagine tackling same with a larger boob!

Helen - I have to wear medical surgical stocks, very unflattering, but they keep the hairy legs at bay, have not shaved my legs in years!
