Good Night

I managed to visit Karen and the family this afternoon and catch up on their weeks happenings. Charlotte has had rehearsals for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which they are performing on Tuesday and Wednesday night, so I am hoping to go and see it on the Wednesday evening.

I came straight home to get in the warm, it seemed quite cold and damp outside all day, so I was pleased to get home.

I have just watched the nightly I'm a Celebrity Get me out of here, two people went, first it was Timmy, I was really pleased about that he is so annoying, then Esther the peace maker I think she was going at the right time.

I am about to go to bed, so I wish you all a good restful night.

Sunday Morning - Just !!!

Good morning to you all, I am a bit late this morning as I have been doing my housework, Its done so I am pleased about that, I am not a lover of housework I'm afraid but its a nice feeling when its completed.

Its a bit cold today but at least its not raining. I might pop out later to visit my daughter Karen and her family as I haven't seen them all week, we all seem to be so busy at present.

I must get on and start preparing my dinner so will blog later. I wish you all a very enjoyable Sunday.

Relaxing on Saturday Evening.

Its turned quite cold, so apart from taking Luke to his Mums, I haven't been out today, infact I have been a bit lazy.

I have been relaxing watching the X Factor I was so surprised that Ruth is out, I thought she was amazing and there were others that should have gone, but hey thats how it works.

The X Factor was followed by I'm a Celebrity - Get me out of here, that was interesting too.

Now I am off to bed, I wish you all a peaceful and restful night.

The Weekend is here !!!

Its the weekend and a nice morning, the sun is out and its not too cold today.

I have Luke my grand son here at present, he will be going round to see his Mum and little brothers later today.

The days seem to go by so quickly at the moment, I suppose its because this time of the year we are all so busy trying to get Christmas presents etc. I have to buy Mum's presents for the family as she can't go out, as well as my own. I have managed to get hers so that's really good as I can now concentrate on the presents I need to get for the family.

I wish everyone a lovely weekend, whatever you are doing and will return tonight.

Thursday Evening

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

I have done a bit more christmas shopping, I seemed to go everywhere today but didn't get much especially as I went out twice.

When driving home late this afternoon I noticed that a few people have already put up their outside christmas lights, one house had them all over the front of the house it must take them ages to put them up.

I have just finished my ironing and am now watching the nightly I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here.

I wish you good night and hope you have a restful night.

A Busy Wednesday !

Good evening, its been another busy day.

This morning I had to go to the Chemists to pickup my repeat prescriptions, so whilst I was there,I went into the local Somerfield looking for

a bottle of Baileys that my Mum wanted for her birthday which is drawing near.

In the retirement flats where she lives they have a main lounge, twice a week they play bingo and those that attend (including my Mum) always have a little drink and some cakes when it is one of their birthdays.

I then went into town still looking for the Baileys plus getting a few Christmas presents.

I managed to get the Baileys in Morrisons and I was able to get a few Christmas presents for Mum too, so when I eventually got to Mums I looked like a pack horse carrying her ordinary shopping and her ironing plus all the rest. She was really pleased with what I have managed to get so that was good.

This evening I picked my grand daughter Chloe up so she could go on my lap top and do her school project on Princess Diana, my friend Sally E'mailed me some lovely pictures ( including one above) which was really helpful, Chloe was well pleased, also I had picked my grand son Tom up from school, so they both had dinner with me.

I have just seen the first eviction on I'm a Celebrity - Get me out of here - Robert Kilroy Silk although he was disappointed to be the first one evicted he was pleased to see his wife! Who will be the next I wonder?

Well I must get ready for bed, I wish you all good night , sleep well .

Late Tuesday Evening

This evening I have been doing Mum's ironing for her, I will take it tomorrow to her along with the shopping she wanted.

When I arrived at Mum's this morning she was very grumpy, I don't think I could do or say anything without a grumpy answer, poor Mum life must be very boring for her !! She hasn't been outside her flat for at least two or three years, apart from when I have had to take her to hospital.

I went round to my friend Sally's this afternoon to have a computer lesson, it was lovely to have a laugh and joke and of course learn some more about the computer, Sally has been using her Computer for some years and is very knowledgeable, thank you Sally.

I am quite tired now so it won't be long before I retire to my bed. I wish everyone a good nights sleep.

Good Evening

Its been a really windy, rainy morning which eventually stopped in the early afternoon.

I managed to pop out when it had stopped to go to my daughter's with a Shepherds Pie I had cooked for her family, tonights dinner!

I then went on to Phil's to see how Lorraine was, she is still not well and is waiting to hear from the hospital. I took some homemade cakes with me, the teenages like to eat them when they come home from school, always hungry.

Tonight Phil, Luke and Chloe came to dinner, we had boiled gammon, roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings etc, which they enjoyed. Afterwards I was trying to help Chloe with her project on Princess Diana, we managed to get some information and some lovely pictures from the internet, so she has be able to make a start.

I am taking it easy now, trying a few things out on my lap top, I wish you all a good night.

A cold rainy day !!!!

Its Sunday afternoon, and I will not be venturing out again today! I had to go out this morning to pick my grand son Luke up from his Mums, it was really cold and wet, the rain was awful and the car kept steaming up with our hot breath!

We came straight home, Luke had a music project to complete, which thankfully he has finished, and I started on the sunday roast, which we enjoyed.

The new carpet in the bedroom is now laid and I managed to get all the furniture back in the room except for the TV. My son Phil popped round after dinner and put the TV back in the bedroom for me so everything is back to normal. Phil and Luke returned home leaving me to finish the cakes that I was making for them. They will pick them up tomorrow when they came to dinner with Chloe.

I am now going to have the rest of the day relaxing and going on the lap top.

I will return later on.

Its the weekend !!!!

Its the weekend !!!!

The weather forecast doesn't sound too good, it looks like we will be getting snow. lets see if we do it is suppose to come I believe on Saturday night and Sunday morning.

I am hoping the carpet people will come to lay the new carpet early afternoon so that I can start getting the furniture back in the bedroom and get the rest of the bungalow looking neat and tidy!!!

I am looking forward to watching TV tonight, plenty to see.

I wish everyone a lovely relaxing weekend.

Good evening to all, its been quite a pleasant day.

The second bedroom is completely empty ready for the new carpet to be laid tomorrow afternoon. Phil came round this morning, to help me with the TV and to take up the old carpet. Lorraine came as well but she didn't look at all well, she is now waiting to hear from the hospital.

I went to town this morning to make a start on my christmas shopping, I am quite pleased with myself as I managed to get a few bargains, three for the price of two etc.

It was busy in town, everyone in a hurry carrying loads of bags etc, I didn't seem to see much of the credit crunch!

I have just watched the nightly 'I'm a Celebrity - Get me out of here' I find it so amusing !

I hope you have had a good day and wish you good night.

Good evening everyone, well its been a really busy day.

My car has had its service and I was able to pick it up by about 12.30pm ample time for me to pick up Tom this afternoon from school.

I had to take Tom with me to my son Phil's as he wanted me to stay with the four teenages whilst he went to see her partner Lorraine in hospital, so I cooked dinner with the help of Lucy. We had chicken, roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings etc.It was yummy!!!!

Phil brought Lorraine home tonight , her scan didn't show anything untoward so she will have to have more tests. She looks ill and washed out poor girl.

I have just come home and have settled down to watch 'I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here' . Well done to Silky what horrible tasks he had to do !!!! Bet Timmy will be next laughing like that at poor Silky.

I wish everyone a good nights sleep.

Good morning, the weather doesn't look too bad outside today.

I have already been out taking my car into the garage for its service. My elderly neighbour George followed me there so he could bring me home, very kind of him .

I have the blood test this morning so will have to catch a bus, something I haven't done for ages !

I just hope I get the car back in time for me to pick up my grand son Tom from school this afternoon!

My son Phil's partner Lorraine was taken into hospital last night with bad pains in her stomach, she has to have a scan this morning. So I am waiting to hear any news, it all seems to be happening at the moment!!

Its going to be a really busy day, I will be back tonight to let you know how things are going.

Have a good day.

Its Tuesday, the day I usually go to my Mums. I had a bit of trouble with her this morning, I got greeted by " I've had such a horrible night, I have been up most of the night " etc she had a bad dream then couldn't get back to sleep and had to make herself a cup of tea, then sat reading for over an hour, she kept going over and over this nightmare, poor Mum.

My sister Kay phoned me yesterday to tell me she has a condition which is hereditary and that I will need to have a blood test to see if I have it, its called Haemochromatosis, apparently its a blood condition, where you have too much iron in the blood.

Poor Kay is not too well, for the last five weeks she has had to have a pint of blood taken away from her each week, her blood count was 600 and it has to get down to 50.

I will have to book an appointment with the doctor for a blood test. I will blog the progress of this.

I wish everyone a good day.

I hope that everyone had a good weekend.

I had an enjoyable time on Saturday night at the surprise party everyone was having a good time, plenty on dancing going on, especially line dancing.

It's been a cold day today, I had to put my heating on this afternoon as I felt so cold.

I have been on the lap top today trying a few new things out, it is so time consuming but good fun.

I wish you a good evening.

Its been a busy today, I had to pick Luke up this morning from his Mums then cooked dinner for Luke and myself.

He has a project to do for school, and likes to work with Microsoft 2003 as he likes the clip art on it. I havn't got that so have been trying out things on my lap top. (I need help Sal !!!) Its taken me ages but have had some success.

I took him back home and was informed that all the cakes I had made were gone and could they put another order in, the peppermint chocolate squares went down really well!

I am now relaxing watching Strictly Come Dancing - who's going out I wonder?

I wish everyone a good night.

It's the weekend Hooray !!!!

Every one I am in contact with are so glad its the weekend. Folk at present seem to be having a hard time at work, lets hope the weekend helps to relax them and make them feel able to cope with work next week.

I am off to a surprise birthday party this evening. A neighbour of mine has arranged a party for her husband, he has no idea !!!!!

I will let you know how is goes, in the meantime enjoy your day.

Its been another busy day, I have been baking a Victoria Sandwich and I had another go making Peppermint Chocolate Squares they were sucessful this time, hooray !!!! I have taken them to my son's and am sure that they won't be about for long.

Luke has come to stay for the night, but is hoping to go to his Mum's tomorrow to see his little brothers Lewis and Tyler.

I have just finished the ironing and am sitting watching Children in Need.

I will say Goodnight .

Good morning , the sun is shining and it looks like its going to be a nice day, hopefully I might be able to get out in the garden to do a bit more clearing up. I still have some flowers that are out in bloom amazing for the time of year .

I had a nice day yesterday, didn't do anything in the bungalow ! I had a lovely time in the morning with my friends Sally and Jean, I had a bit of lunch with them and then went on to check on Mum, then on to pick up my grand son Thomas from school.

In the evening I went to visit some friends of mine and we had a lovely time .

Today I must try and get some jobs done.

I wish you all a good day.

Good evening, it been quite a nice day, I managed to visit my Mum with her shopping and ironing.

This is my dear Mum she will be 98 years old on the 7th December, she is wonderful for her age although she has her aches and pains but keeps cheerful, bless her.

I also managed to see my dear friend Sally and her elderly Mum Jean, we were able to have a good chat and catch up on each others news.

This afternoon I did the housework, so thats a good job done.

Now I am relaxing and catching up on the computer.

I wish everyone a good night.

Today is Wednesday, I call it the middle of the week and the weather is looking a lot better ! The sun is just coming out which is lovely to see, it makes us feel warmer.

I was really busy yesterday, on the go all day. I hope to have a quieter day today.

I have to take my Mum's shopping to her plus her ironing and then I am going on to see my friend Sally and her mum Jean to catch up on all our news.

I wish everyone a lovely enjoyable day.

Well its a very dark, dull and rainy Monday, not good at all.

I had to go out this morning and came home like a drowned rat, as it got wetter my the minute!

I have my son Phil and his two children Luke and Chloe coming for dinner tonight. so I have been cooking a Gammon joint, gosh it does smell nice, I know that everyone likes it especially if I do roast potatoes etc with it.

I have just been listening to the weather forecast its not good, so we must all take care, I think home is the best place at present.

Good morning, its not a bad morning, and I am hoping to get out in the garden to again sweep up the leaves, they are everywhere and the lawn looks quite a mess.

I have taken Luke to his Mothers as he is having dinner with her and his little brothers Lewis who is three nearly four and Tyler who is nearly two and his sister Chloe who is twelve.

I am just cooking dinner and catching up on a few jobs.

I hope wish you all an enjoyable Sunday.

The picture on the left is of my cousin Gloria and myself which was taken last week.

I had a lovely time with Gloria and her husband Jim it was so nice to have a chat and catch up on all the news from each of our familys.

Today I haven't been out at all. I have been baking some chocolate cakes and also was making some more peppermint chocolate squares but I had a bit of an accident with them, I had the base in the oven and went to have a look to see how they were coming along and the tray fell out and they landed all over the kitchen floor - needless to say they have all gone in the bin!!!!

Tonight I will be relaxing with Luke and watching the TV , I love strictly come dancing and of course the X factor.

Good evening, I'm a bit late because I have been busy today, I had to go to my Mums to sort out her paperwork and stayed longer than I thought I would due to more letters arriving that I had to deal with, theres always something to do.

I did manage to get to the new Sainsburys just to have a look around.

I have my grand son Luke staying with me overnight, he is good company.

Well I must say good night to everyone.

Good morning, its raining again today but suppose to brighten up later, at present it just dull and damp and raining. At least its not foggy as it was earlier in the week in the morning.

I must do some jobs today but also want to go and take a visit to the new Sainsburys we have in town.
I was told it was really busy on Wednesday which was the day it opened.

I have just had a phone call from my neighbour Ann who tells me the Gas man is coming to visit me!!! so will have to wait till he arrives before going into town.

I wish everyone a good day and a nice weekend.

Good evening, I have been away visiting my cousin and her husband. I have had a really enjoyable time and was made very welcome. It was nice to have a break .

Back to normality now. I popped into my Mums to make sure that she was alright, also taking her a bit of shopping and then went to pick up my grand son Thomas from school.

My neighbour Ann came over to visit me tonight and we had a good old chat.

I am quite tired so am going to have an early night.

Good afternoon, its dull and dark today and raining on and off, that fine rain that soaks you. Not nice at all.

I have been to my Mums to do her housework etc and am doing her washing at present, I also managed to get some shopping for her. I will be ironing tonight whilst watching the T V.

I'm waiting for my hairdresser to come to cut my hair for the wedding this week, must try and look smart. I have sorted out what I will be wearing its a grey suit with a white blouse, doesn't sound much but looks nice when its on.

This morning I managed to get out in the garden for an hour or so, to try and gather up some of the leaves from the lawn, I didn't clear them all, too many I am afraid.

This afternoon I cooked some biscuits, ones I saw in a cookery book and thought they sounded nice,

peppermint chocolate squares !! They didn't turn out too bad, I will be taking them round to the grand children to eat.

I am relaxing and watching Strictly Come Dancing at the moment, wish I could dance, I would love to have a go.

Good morning to everyone its Sunday morning and what a difference a day makes the sun is shining and it looks lovely outside although the ground is soaked and there are still puddles of rain every where.

The leaves from the trees are all over the lawn its looks quite bad, I will try and clear them up if the weather holds up as the lawn is being treated with a winter dressing and moss killer on Tuesday.

When I first moved here the lawn was absolutely covered with weeds, it looked awful. When I was at work I happened to tell my boss and he said he had his lawn treated and gave me the phone number to ring, so I thought I would give them a go and see if it made any difference. They come each quarter and after the first two treatments the lawn was looking much better, now it looks really good and quite a few friends have commented on how nice it looks.

Well I wish you all a lovely enjoyable, relaxing Sunday!

Good morning everyone, its Saturday November the 1st and it looks windy and cold outside a sure sign winter is here.

I have to decide what I am wearing at the wedding next week - still not sure as I want to be warm thats the main thing!

Tonight I am looking after Charlotte and Tom not that they really need loooking after they entertain themselves especially on the computer. Their Mum and Dad are going out for the evening to a Halloween Party, they have to go in fancy dress all good fun, I am looking forward to seeing what they both look like, must take my camera!!!

I wish you all a lovely day and good weekend.
