Dundee doll - I could hug you are absolutely wonderful thank you if you ever need anything, and I can do it just shout!!

Miss hoodie was once asked what does your mum do for a living, - she was about 5 at the time on holiday - she complains for a living!! I like it as I get free things. x

Completely digressing, but we were talking to our town crier yesterday and hes wrote a couple of books about the town, he said he's searching the history of all the town criers and mayors for his next book, mum said there was rumours that 2 of my ancestors where town criers, but he family all said don't believe dad (he was a flounder!!), turned out to be it was true and you couldn't believe it but he had a photo of one of the town criers on the phone, it was the spitting imagine of my uncle, luckly i started and weve got some yr of births and deaths, so he has given me his email address, so said send him the info got, only basic, but more than hes got and hes going to send us the info he has, so really plzed. xx

Hello all :j

You are all so busy......puts me to shame but I think apart from the sock jam for neighbours daughters I'll do a picture or stitchery for everyone else. Be easier for me (less to think about) and easier to post I think.

Just got to remember who's already had what for their birthdays so far this year................lol

Right, off to fetch in seeds that I daren;t risk leaving out overnight

Hope you're all ok:)

Evening all,

Well done Susan on another 2lbs off. Finally talked OH into registering for the food diary site I have been using. He said to me "I havent had much today, only slice of toast this morning and salmon sandwich lunchtime". I was putting the bits in for him and he kept remembering something else, then I added on all the bottles of beer he has sunk tonight and he is well over his recommended calorie intake for the day and he hasnt had his dinner yet lol. Another bottle of beer has arrived out of the fridge too. Still, I was good today, went to the hospital with my dad for his Xray, he had had to fast for 36 hrs so after we came out we took him to a cafe for a late breakfast and I only had scrambled egg on toast.

Dad was in good mood at the hospital but he is still worrying about the results, so keeping fingers crossed we dont hear anything for next two weeks as they said consultant would only call him in if there was anything dodgy on it.
