I see that now and I had refreshed the page and then posted and saw the posts!!

Just got in from Em's next door I went and had a cuppa with her as I was feeling a bit down after fighting with the water board again. They kept saying my bill was ready but would'nt accept my log in details so another long phone call and there was'nt a bill for me yet after all. I seem to have spent most of this week on the phone trying to get certain things sorted out.

Mel, actually are you or is your pc ok as Mandy and I have both posted, more than once. :-D

Anng are you ok? Is everyone ok as there have been no posts after mine this morning.

By the way my legs are ok today.

Thanks Mandy, will make a note, something to try.

Anng they were the mini tortillas from tesco 8 in a pack I used 2 and put the other 6 in the freezer 2 in a bag so I can just take out 2 .
You add barbecue sauce onto the tortilla i used about 2 dessert spoons spread over but you could use some of your tom sauce you made or just tom ketchup then I put just a little grated cheese sliced then red onion,sliced red peppers and then a little more cheese on the top into the air fryer on 200 for about six or seven minutes just need to keep an eye on it depending on how you've sliced your bits on it ,we thought they were nice and you can add anything on but if you add any meat it has to be cooked meat like ham or any chicken you have left over .

Good morning all, I have not just got up, I forgot to poat when I got up around 0815. Last night was a wake and sleep night but I think I had enogh all together. raining here now 12 degrees and very very dark. I was going to do some housework but not sure I will as everywhere is too dark to see what I am doing without lights on. Hate days like this.

Mandy is there a recipe for the pizzas you made? did you use ready made tortillas? How long and what temp in air frier?

Yes I saw that about the 14 year old charged with the poor old man's murder. The others were released although I am sure they should be charged with something if they stood by and watched. So difficult to understand this culture of complete disregard for life.

Morning all,

Bit dull here this morning but dry ,it keeps going over very dark at times but it shouldn't rain until later tonight .

Ann I see they have now charged a fourteen year old boy for the chaps death you were talking about the other day ,so sad what ever makes them do these things ,one life gone and one changed for ever.

Off to get our shopping today ,yesterday I made some little Tortilla pizzas so quick to do in the air fryer and they were very tasty we had a little salad with them .

Morning all,

Dull and dreary and raining here this morning its 12 degrees and pc says heavy rain so I am looking forward to a damp cold day.

Had another scam email tis morning thats about 30 in the last two weeks.

I may get round to doing some miniatures today if I am lucky I hav'nt cast anything for about two weeks.

How did you all sleep? I dreamt of oh last night it was so clear.

Might be somewhere for you to go and work with the other ladies Mandy.

Just going to have my dinner now. Hope you all have a good nights sleep and that your legs are comfortable tonight and tomorrow Ann.

Gosh Anng that was good in and out really quickly like that perhaps someone hadn't turned up earlier and as you had signed in she fitted you in , hope you don't suffer with your legs tomorrow after all the walking .

Yes Mel you did say you had sold your Tudor man so that was good ,will you make another one.

I took the poppies into the library, when I went in there was a young lady with a lanyard round her neck so I asked her where the crafters were as i had some poppies to drop off and she said oh you need to see Maggie and she took me round to where all the ladies were sitting there must have been fifteen or more all sitting round a huge table doing lots of crafts ,I handed the poppies to Maggie and she said she would be seeing the lady tonight and she would be very pleased with so many .
She was helping a lady with her lace making and I told her my sil did lace making and had made all the edging for her daughters wedding veil, I left my phone number and my name in the bags and told her to let me know if she needed any more .

Back from Holsworthy and my purse is now much much lighter.

Friends not coming tonight now but tomorrow so no rush to get dinner cooked and he likes chilli so thats what we will have tomorrow. I will only have to cook the rice. I shall save the mince as I hav'nt done the mash for a cottage pie so I can freeze that for mince and mash. I did treat myself to a nice lot of natural smoked haddock so I think I will have that tonight and pack the rest up for the freezer.

Got the chicken food and four more talking books so I shan'nt have to go out again for quite a while now.

Did I tell you I sold my little Tudor man yesterday? I posted it this afternoon with another little parcel.

That was a good trip out then. Hope the legs are ok tomorrow.

Been doing admin this morning and have to go and bank something. Sorted the mess out on Ebay and am just waiting to get paid for the two items have sent an invoice but they hav'nt paid yet.

Had two small parcels delivered fed the fish and chickens. Have to get chickens food and go to the post office. Cooked a chilli and the stuff for a cottage pie so am well ahead of myself today but now I am hungry.

That was the quickest visit to the surgery I have ever experienced. Got there early as Cynth was going on to see a friend. So I checked in at 11 o'clock for my appointment which was 11.25, on a new program that seemed very efficient and said I was logged as present and to go to the nurses waiting room. Sat in the waiting room five minutes, name was called into nurses room, unlike previous years it became apparent that it was blood test only, no questions to answer, no BP to be taken. (I presented the nurse anyway with my BP readings for 4 days to be given to the nurse in charge of pharmacy and my medication). By 20 past I was on my way home. Bus would mean a 20 minute wait so I walked. It is about a mile at least. I didn't see the bus so I was home before I would have been. Walk took 25 minutes. legs are tired will see how they are tomorrow.

Morning girls,

I was up at 6.07am but went back to bed after a visit tothe loo then slept till 8.15am and here I am coffee in hand.

Dry morning and 14 degrees and pc says partly sunny and there's blue sky and a lot of white cloud.

When I went to the bathroom this morning just as I was coming out I caught sight of something in the bath, no not a spider but a WORM. I had to rescue it and put it on the front lawn. Now how on earth did that get in the bath? it must have come up the drain pipe.

Hope Vera and Co got off ok this morning at the unearthly hour 4am.

I should be having Stuart to dinner tonight but I shall have to ring him as he's a bit unpredictable. I did say meat pie but it may be cottage pie or chilli as I did'nt have any beef to cook for the filling.

Morning all,

Bit fresh this morning when I let Max out but the suns peeping through the cloud and I can see blue sky .
Got a few places to go today Jollies the pet Place for a new Kong for Max ,into tesco for a few bits and then into Roys to have a look at their bulbs for the garden .
Also need to get to the library between one and three this afternoon to take the poppies in .

I thought it was a lively photo of Ann too.

Hope Vera and her OH got away OK this morning with their early start and they have a lovely time .

Better get sorted so we can get going and get back to do a few jobs .

You were up late Mel. Pleased you recovered after eating and drinking water.

Yes I thought it was a lovely photo as well.
Good morning all, Slept well only got up once so once I woke at 0615 it was no good trying to go back to sleep again.

Blood test this morning at the doctors surgery, and Cynth will take me but she is going on to meet her friend up country a bit so I will hope to be able to get a bus home (that one is hourly), otherwise it will be a fairly long walk.

Don't know about camera not being kind to you I thought the pic was lovely.

I did feel better in the afternoon after having a nice salmon and home grown cue sandwich and a big glass of water.

Still got in a muddle re-entering a couple of bits on Ebay but a great surprise this afternoon I sold my little Tudor Man and I am delighted.

Hope Vera and Co have a great holiday as I think after last time they have truely earned it. Safe journey both.

Oh yes, with that early start you'll need your alarm set Vera. I'm sure the others would agree that we were all quite worried and really felt for you both being in such an awful predicament you had to sort out last time. It's good you have this chance to enjoy it this time.

Safe journey Vera and no frustrations. Weather looks as though it will be good. Enjoy yourselves.
I have an I phone and an IPad and both use the same charger.
