Just read the threads again and see Mandy got the pictures no complaints bless her. And Maureen call me a creeeper but I thought you were attractive my ho liked Jane. !!!

Chelsea is hilarious Mandy......your son's face must have been priceless!! lol Good job she didn't insist! Jane, you never told us what your answer was!! lol

OH is doing more training tonight for the custody job. He said he is learning about 'restraints' among other things. I told him he needn't get any ideas about handcuffs. lol

Maureen, I remember struggling to put it together when we got our cross-trainer......I think some bit of it needed 2 pairs of hands anyway. I do prefer it to the treadmill though.....love the movement. Trouble is, I have never managed to keep going for more than a few minutes, not enough breath, even on the low setting!!

Ann ,tell OH not to wear a watch when doing restraints!!!.Hannah was wearing an expensive watch we bought her for her graduation when she had to tackle down a patient and restrain,and it now has a badly cracked face and it doesn't work.If she had thought at the time she could have claimed on insurance(but she didn't).I took it in to the shop on tuesday and it will cost£125 to get it fixed !!.It 's not worth doing ,which is a real shame.

Sheila ,what do you mean when you said Maureen called you a creeper?? I think I must have lost track of something.I didn't get that.

As to my answer to James and his awkward question Ann.Well I can't quite remember what I said.But he just said OH! and then went back upstairs lol
He never asked me anything else on that subject.Thank goodness.

Well i'am off up the wooden stairs, night night all xx

I will be off up those stairs in a mo ,just as soon as I have let Chester out to do whatever needs to be done.I will try those Nyto* tonight,and see what kind of night I have.
Have just been watching Autumn Watch.What a great programme.
Night Night xx

Shame about Hannah's watch, but you are so right, how often do we think to claim on insurance. OH won't be doing any restraining, he just has to know about what is used. He was in a state when he got home tonight. He was in the right hand lane of the dual carriageway, ready to turn right at the island when a car came whizzing towards him in his lane!! It was on the wrong side of the dual carriageway, but he managed to swerve out of it's way, but what if the other car had swerved too. I hope the other driver realised after that and turned around before he hit anyone. We think he may have pulled out of a new road down there, not realising in the dark that it was a dual carriageway. It needs a one way sign at the end of the new road and I bet there isn't one. Will look tomorrow.

Off to bed now too, computer is doing that jumping thing!!! Night, night xx

Jane did not say Maureen called me a creeper.
i said Maureen call me a creeper if you like but I thought she was attractive for her age you did not miss anything.well thats what I meant no read it again and thats what I said. nite time to go.

Morning all
An early start today as I have a busy morning and afternoon, Back class has started up again after the holls so i'm off to there. then I have Sofia this afternoon but not for long on a Friday as her dad finishes work early and will pick her up about 4.30.

Got your pics Sheila, Stattford is as beautiful as I remember, fantastic car I do love a red car. there are some strange colours for cars these days, lime green, and I have seen one which was bright yellow, there's a woman in our church who has a pink one , stands out from all the cars on a Sunday morning. she looks nothing like Barbie though.

Sheila , from your pictures Matt, Jess and April must have made one good looking family, there beautiful people, Matt must have been very proud of April she looks lovely what a smile she has.

Morning all,

Dull and rainy here ,but then its market day and it always seems to rain on market day !!
Mel, hope mum had a better night with no more wanderings .

Sheila, hope your chest is ok after breathing in the smoke ,where did the mattress's come from ?

Jane , what a shame about Hannah's watch and it being a special watch too !!
Why carn't you still put it through on your insurance after all thats what we pay them for !! it was an accident after all!!

Oh Ann, what a scare for your OH ,do you think he should say something to the police in case there's others that do the same thing, might save a nasty accident from happening ,and if there isn't a sign they might do something about getting one put up.

Morning,

Bit brighter today but still cloudy and dry. Tried to get an earlier night last night but no, had to be with mum till after 1am. She is now on about all sorts of things like "are your two wallking sticks too high" and "where's dad?" something about new laid eggs and general chating away about nothing very cohearant?? if thats how you spell it!!

Lady has been to wash her this morning. Arrived at 8.45am. Just left a little while ago.

Ann thanks for the pics and Fiona.

Hope you don't ache to much after your back classes today as you have little Sophia this afternoon.

Morning All,
Cloudy here too,just a dull day really.Mel I bet your Mum will come out with some very funny things that will make you chuckle (even though it's not a funny situation) if you know what I mean.When Mum was not making a lot of sense we just had to go along with it lol

Well I just had a phone call from Fitz to say he has now got Edie's Birth Certificate and a book that he sent off for with lots of info on the families.So I am off down to him about mid day to see what he has found.

Ann I think there will be more pleas from Fitz to you lol.Will let you know.

Must get a move on and get a few things done
BBL

Oh Jane ,it will be interesting to see what it says on the birth Certificate !!

I will find out shortly Mandy !!.I'm just cooking some fish and rice for Chester as I think his medicine has given him very loose you whats .So I have stopped the med for now and see if things go back to normal.
Then as soon as it has cooled and Chester has been fed I will be off.

Ann ,that must have been dreadful for your OH.You hear of this happening too often.In fact my friends husbands parent's were killed in their car when his father drove down the wrong slip road onto oncoming traffic.Their dog was killed too.It was tragic.

I think the fish is done now so will be back later.

Morning All,

Overcast here again! We drove past the road this morning Mandy and there are 'no right turn' signs at the end of it so it is marked. I still think it needs one of those blue 'one way' arrows on the main road too. I think I will ring the Highways people Mandy and suggest it. What an awful accident on the slip road Jane.......although I'm all for reducing signs, sometimes where there is a danger, it is not always clear enough, especially at night.

How exciting the birth cert has arrived Jane! Fingers crossed it will hopefully throw more light on things. Tell Fitz I am more than happy to oblige with any help, just let me know.

Mel, you must be getting some strange conversations with your mum now and having to pretend you know what she is on about. I bet there are other times when she is quite lucid and her old self too! It will be a help having someone come in to wash her. Hope you get to catch up on a bit of sleep.

Fiona thank you for your lovely message Would love a pink car Fiona with flowers on but my ho would not have one like that on our front. please send anymore photoes they are all going in my book my ho was looking at them
all last night funny thing he was interested for a change saying whoes that and where was that taken etc. He was interested in Anns trees.

We had to leave our properties again today because of
more mattresses been set alight with foam in and toxic fumes this time two doors down foreign landlords throwing them anywhere to get rid . Foam mattresses were banned years ago. smoke everywhere and that was why we were rushed off to hospital for chest x rays yesterday the police made me drive round today to show them anymore mattresses and there was tv man. I said no tv please do not want to be seen sussing out landlords with foam mattresses outside. We counted 6 houses with different
numbers of mattresses all these landlords had complaints
from students and decided to dump them.why they are being set alight can only be vandels.

When I saw your road Fiona wished I lived in it .What is happening to this country.

I loved Barbie and her pink car .I remember standing for ages one christmas to by my niece that and it sold out just when I got there.
I think I need a back class my back aches today looking under all the rubbish with the policeman I have a water bottle on it at the moment. It was cold out.

It sounds like Annx husband was lucky yesterday must have been scary.
Mel hope mums feeling better too

Jane anymore new of Fritz family was interested in that

Sheila, you say the nicest things, how could I call you a creeper ..lol

I had a two tone brown mini years ago, it had an anormous sticker of minnie mouse on one door and another of mickey mouse on the other and big flower stickers on the bonnet. I loved that car .......everything started falling off it in the end, the windscreen wipers the door handle, if I'd kept it much longer probably would have done a Fred Flinstone.

Well the air was blue above this house yesterday. I don't know about two hands Ann, think I needed two muscle men, just couldn't get a screw to wind, my hands were really sore and now I've bug**red up where the allen key goes. I'm really cross because I wanted to do it myself now I'll have to wait for son to come and fix it, and I can just see his face, he will shake his head very slowly and say Oh dear, Oh dear.

Mum has had a little milk today as well as tea and water. Forgot and a third of a malted milk biscuit. That is the most she has eaten in two days. Dos'nt want her jelly now! Shame because I think that is quite good for her.

Maureen my OH says we women can't do things like that because we have to sit to do a w** and men stand up!!! It is always his excuse when I say I can't do something.

I can w** standing up Mel, well semi standing up, comes from spending a penny in dodgy public toilets ......LOL.......

Good to hear mum is having something to eat and drink, far better to give her what she fancies, even if it's not as nourishing it's better than nothing.

I'm off to pamper myself now. Have been invited to daughters for dinner with her partners parents, so going to have a soak in bath, slap on some make up and put me glad rags on. Have to leave here before it gets dark, can't remember how to get to their flat. Will stop over tonight, then I can have a drink or two. I'll probably give that cross trainer a kick when I'm passing it ....lol

See you all tomorrow. Have a good night everyone xxx
