Yawn ... wakey, wakey ...

Morning 02, Rosa, Kandy, Shiney and all.

02 good luck with the wedding sweetie remember don't out shine the bride but then again by the sounds of it that's going to be a very hard task indeed..Enjoy!:thmb:

Rosa yes if bargains are to be had better now than later and doesn't it give you a buzz when you get so much knocked off? As Jazmine will surely know by now unless that voucher has dropped through that hole in her pocket!:hehe:

Kandy sorry to hear about the little mite sadly when Guinea pigs loose their pal they do seem to grieve but maybe Mabel isn't that old I knew someone who had a buck Guinea pig who was 13 years old and still doing well with the ladies! I do wish her well.

Shiney this recycling lark (at least with the council) is a royal mess nothing more than stockpiling rubbish to be left at people's homes when all most of want to do is 'do our bit' recycling wise and also get the rubbish removed in a timely manner from off our yards!

Bob's 'started' the decking but now again job has cropped up Dan's brakes on his car needs looking at so Bob-A-Job is going to be kept busy with that poor guy.

Brought a deep fat fryer so maybe later on we will try some fried chips nothing strange there you might asked but we haven't had home-made chips for 3 years +!

Have a nice day guys and all the best for tomorrow 02 :luv: Hel.xxx.

 

Morning everyone,

bye for now
love rosa xx

 

Wow - sounds like lots going on for everybody! Rosa enjoy your time at Windermere - have a friend who does alot of sailing up there and loves it
Sorry to hear about Mabel the guinea pig - it's true that htey do not live forever.....but it's never easy to see a pet ailing. Hopefully the injections make her feel lots better.
Penny - what type of roof are you putting on? I'd always wanted to live on Vancouver island and have one of those green tin roofs....no idea why - think it's the sound of rain on them when you're inside all cosy and warm!
Have been out in the garden today helping hubby build a shed.....or more enjoying watching the little guys helping him. Went out and bought them all their own 'tools' (Asda has some good deals on tools that are more than okay for them), but couldn't find kids' toolbelts anywhere! So they had fun taking it in turns with dad's old leather one......funny how they all took on a different walk when they had it on!
17 yr old son had some calls today regarding cv's that he dropped off yesterday! Quite surprising as all were unsolicited. One place - a speedway close to us, has practically hired him over the phone saying his cv really caught her attention! She's sending him out a contract! Really pleased for him, as his older brother has been looking for part time work for over a year and nothing.
Well, off to enjoy a nice warm bath shortly and then I think a glass of wine and some tv Happy Saturday evening everybody!

 

A late hello to all :luv:

Kandy I hope Mabel recovers well.
Takemore have a fantastic time - it sounds a big wedding!
Shiney what a kerfuffle over the bins- our system here is slightly different.
Hel that sounds like our house!
Penny hope you get the roof on and the seeds are coming through lovely
Natalie, great news on the job front- can I call you Farmer Nat? :hehe:

Hope I got everyone, I'm tired and it's nearly my bed time :snz:

 

haha Jaz....I've just been to yours and scared off the crows! Bought a little pond for my duck......thinking of expanding to a homestead and buying a house! lol
Sorry everybody - I'm addicted to Facebook Farmville......... how sad is that?

Morning Rosa, Shiney and all.

See you when you get back Rosa I'm sure you will have fun fingers crossed the weather is ok.:thumb:

Shiney seems like it's going to be yet another very weekend but you're sure to have plently of fun with green-fingered buddies staying over enjoy.:wink:
I'ave always enjoyed 'Who's Line Is It Anyway' so can well imagine just how much fun you all had last night Shiney.:D

Natalie I joined Farmville a few days ago but my goodness half the time I'm clueless as what to do.

Found out yesterday two of Dan's work mates have Swine Flu so I am very worried if Dan brings the virus home as Bob's on the at risk list, due to his lack of kidney function he would have to have a reduce dose or an inhaler!:(

Raining at the moment but Bob has been doing his decking these day couple of days so his man points are building up!:hehe:

 

Morning friends :luv:

Have a great time Rosa, lucky you!
Shiney I bet your garden always looks lovely. :gnthb:
Hel, we will have to be neighbours in Farmville, it is hilarious. Some people have immaculate farms with gazebos, pools etc. Mine is full of cows :lollol:

Have a good day everyone. Am off to London tomorrow for 3 days to visit Kew Gardens [never been] I am terrified of heights but want to do the tree walkway. Poor OH :rotfl:

 

Morning Woo and everyone

Nice photo of the sunrise Woo:thumb:

Well the rain has finally stopped and the sun is streaming through the window as I type this and I think the forecast if for a lovely day:thmb: We need to get over to the allotment today to pick some more veggies.Nice to see all the blackfly have now all gone thanks to the ladybirds that I placed on the leaves plus the heavy rain we had while we were away have done their trick so I am well pleased,although the Parsnip plants that I have in the fornt garden that I let go to seed were covered again with blackfly:(

Shiney,hope the visit from your friends went off ok yesterday and that you had a good day:thumb: We have got on well with the recycling bins now although my neighbours keep having leaflets put into their bins about the state of them,as they never rinse out any bottles or tins so their bin is in a disgusting state and they always have maggots crawling all over the inside which the hedgehog and wagtails love:D We hardly have any waste food as we eat it all up and all the peelings go for composting so have no problem there,though we have to get used to throwing everything away when we go on our hols:hehe:

Hel,sounds like Bob a job is doing a great job with the decking,just right for when the summer heatwave comes:thmb: Sorry about the Swine Flu though:( Me and Mr Kandy saw two ladies last Wednesday walking along a street and one of them was doing a Michael Jackson impersonition and was wearing one of the hospital face masks:D

Natilie Mabel is still holding her own at the moment,plenty of fresh fruit and veggies plus Rescue Remedy so hopefully she will soon get better.

Well that is it for another morning,and I do hope you all have a great day in all that you do

PS,how do you all find time to join all these Forums and chat rooms when you have hubby's, partners,homes,kids,animals,gardens,shopping,allotments, jobs etc to look after as I find it takes me all my time to do all my stuff without taking on even more.Answers on a postcard please:D

 

Morning Woo, Kandy, Shiney and all.

Top of the morning to you Woo sweetie it's our first really sunny morning in days Yippee!

Jazmine I'm so hopeless at farmville I even manage to kill my strawberries! Enjoy your couple of days away.

Kandy haven't been able to go anywhere near the allotment because of the bad weather.

Shiney you guessed it Bob's got the flu checked online was told there that he would need a little inhaler for his meds, got my code and everything told the chemist about Bob being at end of stage 4 kidney failure and he just stared in horror, he went on to ask if I wouldn't mind phoning and checking with a doctor I did and he said the say thing as me and helped me out by phoning the chemist and told him I was right!

Bob's banned from leaving the house what with his swine flu bless him he has a little puffer to blow in but all I want to know is when the affair with Miss Piggy started!:D

Had a really wonderful surprise visit from our last (but one) ex neighbours (if you get my meaning) Trish and Nigel yesterday, they have now sadly given up their dream of living in Spain too many charges for things and they couldn't find a place to buy. They have only been back just under a week and have already heard about our just ex neighbour and are seriously thinking of buying their own house back, both were gutted with the state of their old house they just couldn't believe what had been trashed.

Thankfully if Trish and Nigel do manage to buy back they old home I know even if they decide to let it out everything will be good.:thmb:

On the ex neighbour front they took the boiler out last week and a group of them started to take out all the interior doors but one of our neighbours reported them and the police came to sort it out.....not sure if there is much else that they can take now slabs and gravel off the front garden?

Have a nice day guys and enjoy that sunshine.Hel.xxx.

 

Good morning everyone,

Popping in quickly to say Hi.

We are still at the roof, but the shingles go on today..YAAAAA!!!
We ran into a HUGE problem on Friday, and that required a few hundred dollars worth of new lumber, and part of the roof being removed, so we couldnt strip off anymore until the new lumber was put down, and we put the weather membrane on yesturday, Brad was at that until 9:30 lastnight (started at 7:30yesturday).........so today the first of the shingles go on.
So i will be off again today..........so have a good one everybody.
