    Catie I am so sorry to hear your dreadful news - please accept my sympathy and good wishes to your friend. You take care of yourself now

    Barbara - the poor girl!! they did ought to pay up so she can get on with her life if it was clearly their fault. Insurance companies no doubt :(

    Ooooo, my page seems to be back to normal. :D

    Barbara, our half term is next week. Are you going to see more of your GC? I got quite a shock as the hoover was full by the time I had finished. Just shows, my old hoover wasn't doing it's job properly. I'm not doing a Xmas list just yet. :shock: Hope things went ok at the vampire department. See you've popped in while I was posting and said the bus is ready for us all to go to France with Toni.

    Catie, it is difficult when the page doesn't work properly. Mine has been so wide for a few days that I've had to scroll up and down as well as from side to side to see everything. Sorry to hear about your friend. It seems so unfair, doesn't it? Hope you are doing better now.

    Elizabeth, hope your son has settled down again after his meltdown. Good to know he likes his new bedroom. Bet you are relieved to get your room back again.

    Hi Mr O. Hope you are well and the packing is going ok.

    Toni, I don't like the Waltzers. When I was in my 20s I got whiplash. My neck was extremely painful for weeks. A few years ago, I went to a (can't remember his title but he pulled my arms, legs and head and gradually released them.) He said my neck problems were probably from the whiplash. So you're off to France again on Sunday? Is the bus ready for us all to follow you? Barbara has just popped in and said it is ready.

    Any news from Rosie? Wonder if she's busy skyping the babies.

    Heard on the news this morning that nPower, who I'm with, are putting their prices up by 10%. I locked in to a slightly cheaper price than I'm paying now, last night. Phew! Think I got in just in time.

    Hello everyone.

    The babies still haven`t arrived, I`m afraid, although one daughter-in-law is being induced right now, so hopefully it won`t be too long. The other one has just seen her midwife, who informed her that today was actually her due date, not last Saturday as we all believed. Me?......I`m a complete bloody wreck!!.....Rosie.x.

    Hi,

    The problem was caused when Tkachev couldn't use her space bar. The words were separated by a / but with no spaces so the forum thought it was all one word, therefore it couldn't start a new line!

    I've put in a few spaces in the relevant places to get it back to normal. (Tkachev, no worries, please post, all you need to do is press return every now and again until you get the computer repaired)

    Thanks Moderator for the explanation.

    Good that we won't have to 'loose Elizabeth' while the other laptop is fixed too :)

    Rosie     - CONGRATULATONS :) Do we have a name yet for the ickle bubba?

    t8320.gif

    Good luck with number two.

    Aw bless the baby Barbara she did walk for you in the end even if the bum-shuffle IS far cuter :wink: Good to hear you are persevering with the physio even if it isn't possible to do it all :?

    Bus looks pretty ready I think

    p065.gif can we sneak some luggage in for me - we are flying Ryanair and you know their luggage limits :roll:

    Christine - your new hoover sounds really good and the old one must have been really bad :( I hadn't thought of necks at regards waltzers, but you are right they must be horrendous!!

    Hope everyone else is ok. Love to you all

    Yaaay, another new baby. Congratulations to you and baby's parents, Rosie. Hope baby number 2 won't be much longer.

    Barbara, your physio sounds difficult. Good for you persevering. I'm sure it'll help eventually. I agree about the fuel providers. It's like being back in the dark ages having to choose either to eat or keep warm. You can change provider or cap your prices even with a top up card now. If you want to check prices out, I can pm you where I checked mine. Not sure I'm allowed to put it on here. I'm sure you little GD will be running about before you know it.

    Elizabeth, it is a pain when something goes wrong with the keyboard, isn't it? A couple of my daughter's keys stopped working recently so I had to try to add the letters while reading her messages. Not easy. Hope you are doing ok.

    Moderator, thank you for sorting out the problem.

    Toni, I fly quite often with Ryanair so know what you mean. I usually only take a carry-on. I think last time, they wanted £30 each way to check in a suitcase. :shock:

    Well, as my boss is on holiday, I have managed to do most of my hours already so am only working tomorrow morning, then off on Friday. :D Might get my hoover out again. :D

    Thanks mods for helping out Elizabeth.....and us come to that.. :lol: hope you soon get the laptop sorted...
    Christine we have changed providers 3 times in 3 years...I think they all have us to boot...but you PM me the site I will maybe give it another go..thankyou..you try and take it easy while they are away....
    Toni we flew Ryanair last time..must say they do the job cheaply...we just took one case and one carry on we put the shoes in the hand luggage..better get the bus packed I will make a picnic basket for all of us.. :D
    Yes its only one part of physio taking the leg out to the side...very strange but I will get there
    I feel sick just eaten a packet of Thornto**special toffee from the £1 shop..I am a gluten for sweets.. :oops:
    Hope baby and mum are doing well....

    Rosie, Congratulations to both you and your family on the birth of your granddaughter. Wishing her a long, healthy and happy life :)

    Hectic here - as usual :wink:. At the moment we are spending most of the day sorting out our buyers' queries :o I'm starting to wonder if he might be Victor Meldrew's brother :D. My wife tells me to keep my cool as we haven't exchanged contracts yet :) - will have a party when we have :D

    Best wishes to all.

    Morning Everyone :)

    Barbara, the white tablecloths look just the job - really smart :) I must be getting really old, only it brought back memories of a tablecloth we were given as a wedding present, only it wasn't white, but bright orange :shock: :shock:.

    MrO, the only consolation is that your buyer, won't be living next door :D I expect you will be glad to be in your new home.

    Rosie, how wonderful, a baby granddaughter. What's her name?

    Toni, most of our cases have been loaded onto the bus...so like you...we are ready to go :)

    Christine, enjoy the extra time to yourself whilst the boss is away - you deserve it :)

    I've just received a card from a friend saying she's moved to Garstang in Lancs. Have to admit, it isn't a place that I know, but having googled it, thought it looked lovely. I was wondering if anyone knew this area at all ?

    Karen, hope things have improved for you - Cocoa too. Love to Elizabeth and all who visit :)

    Barbara, did you manage to have a look at the link I sent you? I get weekly emails from the main site which are sometimes very useful. Just been reading that Ryanair are going to allow a 2nd carry-on bag which is helpful as I like a small bag to keep my passport and boarding pass in rather that have to carry it in my hand and risk dropping it, which has happened a few times. The cost of checking in at the airport will be less as will printing a boarding pass at the airport. Bet they put the prices up though. Must admit, I can't eat a few sweets or chocolates. It must be the whole packet. That's why I stopped buying those big Xmas tins. :shock:

    Mr O, yes, I agree with your wife. Wait till the contracts are signed then say what you want. :lol:

    Catie, an orange table cloth? I think that would be lovely in the summer. Thank you, I have quite enjoyed yesterday afternoon and today. Decided to give the outside front windowsills a second coat then couldn't stop painting. I did the inside of the front door and the 2 window frames and sills in the bathroom then the front door step and the step going from the sitting room to the stairs ( it used to be carpeted but I took up the riser part). Today, ended up staying in bed most of the morning reading supermarket booklets and checking emails, then did some tidying in the garden and inside. Feel as if I've both rested and dome something.

    Trying to sit with my feet up on the settee but there are so many cushions, there's not much room for me. Keep sliding towards the edge. :lol:

    My goodness Christine!!!

    Once you get started you can't stop well done for all you painting!!

    Two carry on bags with Ryanair you say?? Well I eat a whole bag of sweeties too - ears pop of course :wink: Bags are almost packed just got to take a trip to Nottingham tomorrow so Lucy can see her new 'boyfriend' :? Will report back :wink:

    Catie I am glad you are ready because I will be watching for the bus - see you all at Bergerac Airport 11am their time :) My mum had an orange tablecloth and a green one too. Mine are black or white and that's that :?

    I have heard of Garstang and know Lancashire is lovely - are you thinking of visiting once recovered??

    Barbara

    We LOVE a party don't we? That doggy sounds rather large I hope you coped ok Tes*o have party-poopers on offer.

    Oh Dear MrO I am sorry you have a grumpy and awkward buyer :( Really difficult to keep your patience when you have to deal with someone like that :(

    Keep your eye on the bigger picture - you lovely new home :) Imagine Christmas there :D

    Love to everyone and especially those recuperating and our missing friends :)

    Love

    Toni xx
