Good evening, I hope you have had a good day.

I am now wireless thanks to my friend Sally's husband Richard who kindly came round this afternoon and installed my new Router for me, it wasn't a straight forward job there is no way I would have been able to do it, so Sally please thank Richard for me!!!

I went to visit my Mum this morning, she was quite chatty and kept telling me her news bless her, my stomach was rumbling as I was hungry and wanted my lunch so I kept edging towards the front door, I got away eventually!!!

I am going to relax and watch television tonight, so folks have a lovely Halloween evening and I will blog tomorrow.



Good morning folks, I am a bit late this morning but have had trouble getting on line, I expect as it is half term it is in great demand.

Well tonight is Halloween!!! I hope you have an enjoyable time, expect plenty of knocks on your door, just keep the sweets handy eh!!!

I am just off out down the town, I had to wait for the Betterware lady to bring my order.

Have a lovely day.

This afternoon the sky clouded over and became very dark, we heard thunder in the distance then the heavens opened, needless to say I didn't get any gardening done.
Instead I did all the housework which took quite a while but its a good job done.
Phil, Luke and Chloe arrived for dinner, we had boiled bacon, roast potatoes and vegetables yorkshire puddings etc which was enjoyed by all.
We talked about what to do about Christmas presents , as the children get older it gets more difficult and this year seems to even more difficult, times are hard for everone arn't they.
As Phil's partner Lorraine has three children two teenage daughters and James who will be twelve by Christmas, they have decided that they would prefer the money then they can go to the January sales and buy what they want, thats fine with me, at least I won't have to go round the shops trying to decide what to get!!!! Chloe decided that she would prefer the money too, not sure about Luke think he might want presents.
Well I am just relaxing now and watching a bit of television before I go to bed.


Good morning, the sun is shining and it looks lovely outside, but I expect it is a bit cold too.

I have my son Phil and his children Luke and Chloe coming to dinner tonight, so will have to work out what we are having for dinner. I usually have them to dinner once a week.

If it isn't to bad outside I want to do a bit of tidying up in the garden before winter really sets in, there is such a lot of clearing up to do.

Also I must do a bit of housework, I find that quite a chore but it has to be done !!! Yesterday I had a bit of an accident in my hallway. I had come in the front door with shopping bags etc and brushed against a picture which was hunging on the wall, it fell down and smashed the glass, the glass went everywhere even in the lounge, so as you can imagine it was quite a mess!!!

I wish everyone a good day, and will blog again this evening.

Well its been another busy day, I can't believe its the evening already.

I have been to my Mum's today to take her ironing and shopping to her and keep a check on her, she was fine bless her.

Then I went to town as I needed to go to the Bank, whilst in town I decided to get a few christmas cards, thought I had better make a start, one of my friends has already got all her presents and cards etc for Christmas!

When I got home the Postman had been and guess what he had delivered the Router for the internet that I had ordered, I was so pleased, now I need to get it installed. I am hoping my friend Sal's husband will be kind enough to do this for me.

I had a quick lunch break then went to collect my grand son Luke from his Mums and took him home to my son Phil and his partner Lorraine's. By this time is was almost dinner time so I came home to prepare my Salmon dinner, very nice,

I must start thinking about what I will be wearing at the wedding next week!!! I will leave for another day!!!

i am now just relaxing and watching the The National Television awards.

I will say goodnight to everyone.

Its Tuesday morning and I am getting ready to go to my Mums to do her housework. I usually change her bed and take all the washing home with me to do her washing and ironing for her.

Whilst I am there I get her to do a shopping list for me and hopefully will get that this afternoon, then I take her ironing and shopping back to her tomorrow.

It is a lovely morning outside, the sun is coming out and I think it will be quite crisp and cold but nice outside. Over the weekend I did manage to get out in the garden for a few hours to cut the roses and tidy up one bed then I took four bags of garden rubbish down to the tip, that was a good job done, but boy I still have loads to do out there, I can't see myself getting it all done before winter really sets in!!!!

I hope to see my friends Sally and Jean this afternoon all being well, we usually have a lovely cup of tea and chat, I always enjoy my time with them, we have known each other well over twenty five years and can chat about our problems or worries together, it is good to share our thoughts with friends we can trust.

Its Monday evening, I have been really busy all day.

I have been cleaning, tidying and getting rid of clothes etc in my wardrobe it has taken me quite a few hours but its now finished - thank goodness!!! Its a good job done.

Yesterday I was sorting out a cabinet in my lounge as I want to get rid of it so was trying to find a new home for everthing - I have managed to do it. Another job completed!!!

Lunch time I took Luke round to his mothers so he could see his two little brothers, Lewis and Tyler.

I am still having lots of trouble with the internet so I have ordered a new Router in the hopes that this will solve the problem as I think my Router isn't working properly, it gets really hot so I have to take the plug out, I usually unplug it overnight now. I should receive the new one by the end of the week.

I'm just relaxing at the moment watching the TV as I think tomorrow will be another busy day!!

Sunday, 26 October 2008

Its Sunday and raining very dull.

I have my grand son Luke staying with me, we are both feeling poorly with bad coughs and colds.

Luke went to bed last night before 7pm and slept until this morning !!!

My cousin Gloria telephoned this afternoon, and I am now going to her daughter Tina's wedding
which is on the 5th November will have to work out what I am going to wear. I had been invited but had declined as I wasn't confident of driving there but now I will be going to Gloria and Jims the night before staying for the wedding and then returning home the following day. I am looking forward to it and am glad that I will be able to go.
