First record I bought Ob-La-De Ob-La-Da by Marmalade ! I should still have it as my entire collection of singles and LP’s is packed away in the loft although I have nothing to play them on these days:rotfl:

Good morning....Rather murky again....Not quite what was forecast....:mad:

Day didn't start to good...Didn't much fancy getting up this morning....So lay in I did, although, I had a dental appointment at what I thought was 9:50am.....but was in fact 9:20am.....Rushed to get there....For some unknown reason I ended up in Asda car park.....Not the dentists:eek:...

Just made it to my appointment...

Receptionist...Good morning Mr. Marmie, What can I do for you...

Marmie....I'm here for my hygienist appointment at 9:20am...:D

Receptionist....Well Mr. Marmie...It is really nice to see you but, you are a month too early...Your appointment is in May....:rotfl::rotfl:

Marmie...Oh! :o

Hope you have better starts to your days than I...

:rotfl::rotfl:

I have a dentist appointment in about 45 minutes I hope :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

The amount of times I have sent the OH to his and have been days or weeks early, he thinks im mad.

Ladies and gentleman, it is nearly that time of year again, where I ask you kindly to dig in your pockets, if you kindly wish to do.

I am taking part in Race for Life in Caernafon this year, as I spend a lot of time in North Wales, I thought I would try one there.

I have put my link on the charities board, and I hope I have bought it over correctly.

I thank you in advance for your generosity over the years.
