Hello.
Hello, you all missed me??
No? Ok.
It's summer now and very warm indeed. Just popped in for a little chat. About what? Nothing much. Sorry.
I am still not smoking, a few more days and I will be 21 months without a ciggie.
Who is a clever girl then?
I must admit that now and then I still fancy a cig. The difference is and will always be, (I hope,) that I just fancy one but don't need one. Does that make sense??
Today I spent time at son and daughter-law's house. They were at work. I said I would wait for a delivery for them. And I did. But one of the items was damaged so off I go on Thursday to await for the replacement.
Still no plans for a holiday. Was supposed to go to Banff the year after our San Francisco trip. Never got there though and it's ages ago, or seems ages ago since June 2006.
Our granddaughter will very soon be eighteen. I just can't believe it really. No sign of any other grandchildren. Boo hoo.
Have joined a geneology site, very interesting but also frustrating. I am not very good with these things so maybe I should be getting more out of it than I have. I find people very helpful on the site though. I don't think I would have done without them, so thank you.

A laff. Swine 'Flu.
Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their giros arrived.
The Bay FM reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Lancaster. One resident - Tracy Sharon Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said, "It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes come running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Victoria-Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was skinning up and watching Jeremy Kyle the next morning."
Apparently looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal. The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Sunny Delight to the area to help the stricken locals.
Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos and Bone China from Poundland.
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster.
Clothing is most sought after - items most needed include:
Nike or Burberry baseball caps
Kappa tracksuit tops (his and hers)
Shell suits (female)
White sport socks
Rockport boots and any other items usually sold in Primark.
Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.
Required foodstuffs include:
Microwave meals, Tins of baked beans, Ice cream, Cans of Colt 45 or Special Brew.
22p buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms..
£2 buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9.
£5 buys B&H cigarettes and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.
***Breaking news***
Rescue workers found a girl in the rubble smothered in raspberry alco-pop.
'Where are you bleeding from?' they asked, "London" said the girl, "wossit gotta do wiv you?"
Please don't forward this to anyone living in Lancaster - oh, sod it... they won't be able to read it anyway

Twitter? Facebook?
Hope you are having a good Easter. If not celebrating it, a good break off work.
I joined Facebook a while ago, then someone told me about Twitter. I am 65 and not the brightest firework in the box so find it hard going.
Facebook I suppose is my fave, due to being on it longer and I really love my little pet. But must try more on the Twitter site. Won't get anywhere will I if I don't try?
Weather sunny today, will it last I ask myself? Usually we get a bit of rain before bedtime. lol
No holiday planned as yet. Quite sad really but you never know. Early days yet.
Still not smoking. Over 18 months now.
Elder son is 42 today. I hope he has a great day, Happy Birthday I..................
Out shopping later. Then I will go back to the geneology site I have joined for six months. Good fun and very frustrating. Himdownstair's ancestors proving a problem.
I still cannot find my cousins, David and Peter. Where are they??? Is David still in Canada with his wife, Nicola??? Peter will have left the army now, he will be 65 at the end of the year.
Emails friends are still missing. Woe is me indeed.
Take care please and be good. X

Oh dear me.
This is for yesterday. 11/11/2008.
Well, here we are in November. Not made my Christmas cake yet! There is still time. Last year I used that "rolling out icing sugar." Is it called Icing Fondant? Anyway it was much better than the rock hard, break a tooth royal icing I made. Will do the same this year.
Waiting for men to mend our roof. Been waiting for ages, I said in my other Blog, the scaffolders put the scaffold up yesterday, him next door not happy, it's blococking his Skye reception. A row in the making?
We did ask his permission to get roof mended as we thought they would have to go in his garden. He said it was ok but in the end they had no need to go into his garden. Please let the weather be good and please let them mend our roof pronto!
I have been off the cigs for over 13 months. Yes, me. lol. Bought a laptop. I like it too. Vaio?
Still use this one though. I have saved money with not smoking so what the heck?
Work, not going again, ok, I might. But 21st Dec I have to re register so I can nurse another year. So that is that.
Not had much of a summer have we? Two years it's not been good. Maybe next year eh? Fingers crossed.
Sister and I haven't got to Canada yet, will we ever???
Take care out there, please keep safe and warm.

April Fools. Funny or stupid?
I haven't been out today so have missed any stupid pranks.
Is it my age? I don't think it is funny any more. Did I ever think it was funny?
I remember at the tender age of 15 I worked in a big bakery and was sent for a long stand. Like a good worker I did. The staff that I asked for one told me I had been fooled, made me a cuppa. I sat there until the Foreman came to see what was taking me so long. lol
Ten of the best April Fool's Day hoaxes:

My Birthday.
Hello, if it wasn't for the extra day tomorrow, it would be my birthday. I was feeling sorry for me then I thought of the poor souls who were born on 29th Feb. Would they celebrate their birthday today or on the 1st March on non leap years?
I think age would have something to do it. When you are young you will want your birthday to arrive soon. But when you are my age you would put it off a day! lol
Anyway, to us all.

Valentines Day.
Yea, I gotta card. Well, when I say a card I mean an e-mail card. It was from my friend in the USA and was sent to himdownstairs and me. Thank you my friend.
When I was a girl and that was a long time ago, the idea was to send a card to someone you quite liked. Teenage crush and all that. lol They never knew who it was from and you never told them. Usually anyway. Now you can buy a card for everyone and people sign them with their names. Not funny ones like Cuddlebunny and things like that. No, their proper names.
I believe you can get one for your dog or cat. Not sure about your goldfish though. Well some people must make money out of it eh?
Sour grapes, I never got many cards in my life, no flowers or chocs.
Woe is me.

Lost boy. Update....Hoax???
This was sent to me by email, it is from a friend and she got it from her friend and so on and maybe so on.
I am not sure what country this lad is from.......... USA? He may be home by now. (I hope so.) But if anyone can help, please do.
Thank you and please keep looking out for Maddie. Thank you again.
My 15 year old boy, Evan Trembley, is missing.
He has been missing now for two weeks.
Maybe if everyone passes this on, someone will see this child.
That is how the girl from Stevens Point was found by circulation
of her picture on tv. The internet circulates even overseas,
South America , and Canada etc.
Please pass this to everyone in your address book.
With GOD on his side he will be found.
'I am asking you all, begging you to please
forward this email on to anyone and everyone
you know, PLEASE.
It is still not too late. Please help us. If anyone
knows anything, please contact me at:
HelpfindEvanTrembley@yahoocom
All prayers are appreciated! ! '
It only takes 2 seconds to forward this.
If it was your child, you would want all the help you could get!!
7th November.
This morning I received an e-mail from my friend. So is this true or what? If not, what was the point of sending it to people??? Sad or what?
"This is a hoax that has been circulating around USA since this spring. Go to Snopes.com to verify anything that smells of phony."

Funny old week!
Now, last week all I had to look forward to, if you could call it that, was work on Sunday.
Wrong!
How come, that in my autumn years, weeks pass by and nothing happens? Then everything happens all at once?
Funny old week it was.
I did smoke some cigs, 5 a day for 4 days. Back off them again now. I tell you something, they made me feel really sick. So why did I carry on?
Answers on a postcard please to this Blog before the 4th of October. lol
People who say it was because I was an idiot will be removed from the competition. Only because I know that already.
I am feeling very cold again. It's going to be a long winter. Nights are drawing in, clocks change this month too.
Is is Spring forward and Fall back? I can never remember.
