  • Good afternoon all and <<hugs to the poorly and blue folks>>
    Just finished making 6 dozen sausage rolls for this afternoons thrash at DDs.I just have to wrap DGS Danny's pressie up and apart from having a light lunch everything is done.I think there are about 18 of us all told .
    We are celebrating his 21st birthday today instead of tomorrow as he starts back on his new show 'Pointless' as a researcher tomorrow.When he left '8 out of 10 Cats' last week they had a collection for him and he had £140.00 all told and all the cast and crew signed a big card to wish him well. He was so pleased .He has now got his leg up one rung on the ladder, and has gone from Runner to Head Runner to Researcher in 2 years.I am so proud of him and he is hoping to get assistant producer by the time he is 25.Television and cinema is a very hard business to get into and a lot depends on hard work attitude and being in the right place at the right time. Danny has always made a point of when things were quiet on set he would ask the camera chaps and the lighting guys questions about their work, and has learned such a lot from them .He is happy to do almost anything to keep the crew going and has never said no to anything they ask him to do no matter how small.He will go far that lad, as everyone gets on with him as he is such a happy-go-lucky young
    man.
    Well time to go and get some lunch on the go. I hope everyone has a good day, and even better at the moment the sun is shining and I can see my lovely River medway Life just gets better by the minute today
    Cheers chums

  • Hello all,

    Just back from friends' daughters' 21st, was lovely afernoon and the cake and cupcakes went down well. DH gone to visit his 94 yr old mum who is in a home locally while I've ironed some work stuff for him for tomorrow. I'm not back in until tuesday so taking my mum out shopping tomorrow - will probably tireder than if I'd been in work, she's like a whippet my mum, hope I'm like that at 84 :rotfl:

    DD1 and her BF came with us to the party so came up to us at 10 for breakfast, full Welsh, fresh fruit salad, croisants, coffe and smoothie but DH still managed two helpings of meat and potato pie and cakes at the party - and no, he's not built like a house:rotfl::rotfl:

    I hope all who are not well or are feeling up against it know that we are thinking of them and wishing them well.

    Love,

    Jan xxx
