Hey Sheila,don't worry we all understand you !!!!!Might take a bit of working out sometimes though.But I have to work out some of Shirls posts too lolol
Love the shrunken head tale!! ,and I would have killed my OH if I found plastic flowers in a hanging basket!
Fiona what lovely photos.I love the one with Sofia and her Dad.Made me a little weepy.(Maybe because of the situation with Caties BIL).I hope things have been ok for them all today.I don't know what time the funeral is.
It is a bit miserable here now a bit drizzly.James and Jess have gone to Woburn Safari Park.I will start preparing her birthday dinner soon.21! I just about remember when I was that age lol.

Ann can I ask you a favour.?Would it be possible to send me that info on 'The Iron Cross'given to Ada's Husband again.I have lost it!!!!!!!
I am just going to have tidy up in the lounge now .It looks like a bomb has gone off.All Jess's wrapping paper from her presents is all over the place,plus all sorts of other rubbish.I need to clean in readiness for the Sweep coming at 8.30 tomorrow lol.I don't think I will bother to dust though!

While driving back from Newbiggen at lunch time I passed a black and white dog or badger (dead) in the outside lane. Seen 3 dead foxes on the same stretch of road this month.

Jane Report 13 Sep 2010 18:20

That sounds like a badger David.It's awful when you see so much wild life killed on the roads.

Jane

Jane Report 13 Sep 2010 18:47

Talking of wild life .James and Jess have got back from Woburn with film of monkeys having nooky on the bonnet of the car lol.

Morning Mel
Morning Jane,

Thank you Jane for your birthday wishes and your birthday card.
opened my cards and OH present which was a new camera this morning at 7.30 all very quiet as OH away. Then got up and made myself a cup of tea and went back to bed and studied the booklet about the camera, CRIKEY!!!!! there's a big difference to my old camera which is 4 years old all the buttons stick and the catch where the battries goes in is broken,
I use my camera a lot, I like to take it with me when we go on day trips or to follow Sofia's progress.
I will have to wait till daughter no 2 comes home from Uni tonight and she and boyfriend can explain things to me.

Weather cold, wet and windy not going out today, catch up on housework.

Thanks for the photo's Shiela, you have a lovely family. and a nice pig too lol.

H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y Fiona, 21 again like all you woman. I don't know how to do that Annx, very clever.

Dull and windy here, I'm coming over to pick some of your beans Jane, Scrumping was my favorite passtime, this time of year when I was young. I'll get through the hedge in Cranford Road.

No sign of Janice from Australia, perhaps she can't find us.
