Im very lucky their hubbie great and always care

Im up on crutches ,swelling down so nearly there

Grandchildren came round for the day

Its been a month so they had plenty to say

One day youll find out about the gold

It will be a great story to be told

Now normally your christmas you have begun

Or have you sorted it , or not begun

Winter will be with us very soon

So tree out for me when its so doom and gloom

Scrap book then i will begin ,Star hasnt said her idea

Come on Star

we are awaiting you to share

Any ideas most welcome , makes interesting ways

Well folks thats me

cant think of anything else to say

Glad you're on the mend Chris
Just mind that you take care
Don't want you falling off your crutches
Get your feet up in the chair.

Christmas ? Yes I've nearly done it
Cards all made -(Bill thinks I'm mad )
All sorts of pressies I've concocted
Some of them not half bad

I've done phone charms, & some for bags
From a necklace I don't wear
Painted ''Smile'' on some pebbles
Button necklaces for folk to wear

Stuff I got from charity shops
(This year I've not got a lot)
For my sons - in case of emergency
I've done them an S.O.S. box !

It's just like a little tool box
Filled with stuff like batteries, blu tak
Elastoplast, rennies, headache pills
Some muscle cream for a bad back

Cost nothing to do (excepting the boxes)
98p - not a lot
And filled them up by raiding our stash
Of bits and pieces we'd got.

I'm aiming for a cheap Christmas
But the twins are 18 this year !!!
What do you get for a boy and girl
Thats cheap - stuff does seem so dear !

It has to be cheap - those scrapbooks
Have cost me lots more than I thought
In paper and flowers and ink for the printer
The bank balance looks a bit short !

I've shelved Offa and his moneyer Pendered
Can't find a bloomin' thing
Except what I know and thats not much good
So farewell ,sadly, to my ''bling'' !

I fancied a 'project' for next year
A challenge -I'd not done before
Well history is gone so any suggestions ?
Please tell - I'll really all ears !

Oh.....did I say we're going to Scotand
In October - I need some warm boots
And a coat scarf and hat
Coat must be waterproof !

Loch Lomond and Edinburgh coach trip
Long weekend.....hotel and meals
All included.........£99 each
Thought that was a pretty good deal.

No driving for Bill, taken here to there
Must make sure before we get back
That someone pops in to switch heating on
As well as feeding the cats !

Today we had a picnic lunch
Up on Bodmin Moor
Was beautiful scenery
Certainly not a bore

We had homemade pasty
And a lovely cold drink
Then looked around us
It sure does make you think

The ruggedness of the moors
Just takes your breath away
Whenever i get a chance
This is where i like to stay

**MaryC** · 30-08-2010 07:08 PM

Hazel - did you take your coat
Or did you have a heat wave ?
Cos its been very cold here
Go out ? -Well I'm not that brave !

I do know what you mean though
Nature does us proud
And puts life into perspective
As we look around.

But today, August bank holiday
I stayed indoors all day
Cardi on and keeping warm
Oh why didn't summer stay ?

Dont want to put the heating on
Don't seem long since we turned it off !
So till then its cardigans and blankets
So we don't get colds and coughs !

The kids all wear neck warmers
Well -promise not to laugh
But I've just been upstairs
And now wearing a scarf !!

Chris · 31-08-2010 05:29 PM

Mornings have a nip in the air

I think our heat has gone i fear

So much for a heatwave as was said

Shame too , i was cold last night going to bed

Mary off to Scotland, good for you, enjoy M8

Explore while you can, ive been it was great

A project for you to do

oh heck asking me

Will rattle my marbles lol and we will see

Cant think of much else to say

Being stuck in now for too many days

Was so fed up i walked to the bin

Stupid realy only made matters worse so stuck again

Ah well cant be too much longer for all to heal

Need eyebrows done and hair no doubt better will feel

**Hazelnut** · 31-08-2010 05:54 PM

Hey Chris I think a treats in store
Seeing you cant go out of the door
Hairdresser to come and do your locks
And nice shaped eyebrows , nice new frocks

So Marys going off to the Scottish land
Hope she hears some great brass bands
Nothing much doing down here
Maybe a chat, a rattlers or beer

Back to work for me next week
Watch my words before i speak
Its been such a peaceful time
All to fast . Start before nine

**Hazelnut** · 04-09-2010 02:41 PM

A big cheer is needed
For all of us on aa
Another proud moment
Now we can all stay

Its quite an achievement
To raise a big amount
Watching our balance get smaller
Remembering the backward count

I'd like to thank everyone
For saving the best ever site
To lose it wouldve been a sad, sad day
Lets improve it with all our might

LONG LIVE AA

**MaryC** · 05-09-2010 06:04 PM

Oh eck -confused ?? Not half I am
I tried to get on here
The site had changed -'access denied'
Password forgot I fear !

I had to do it all again
And I'm all behind with news
Whats this about AA being saved ?
Didn't know it was nearly lost !

Chris you're doing fine my mate
You'll get there don't you fret
Just wait till you get your hair done
A real nice 'wash and set'

Cold it is......been so up here
We've had our heater on
Radiators can stay off
Least till Septembers gone !

I've had to do this 'quick reply'
Cos couldn't do another
I tried, I clicked and clicked again
But it wouldn't work.......oh bother !!

And now the dinners ready
And forgot what I was going to say
So I'll be back sometime tomorrow
If ''stuff'' doesn't get in the way !

Chris · 05-09-2010 06:48 PM

Hi Mary nice to see you , thanks for popping in

Bet it was a surprise , more learning to begin

Im ok walking now with help of cane

Lucky realy just over two weeks, so still sane

Yesterday and today has been quite warm

But i see all changing might be in for storms

Sadly summer cloths will go away

Winter shoes ect, out to stay

This is my third ive had to do

The other three vanished out of the blue

**MaryC** · 05-09-2010 07:57 PM

Glad that you're improving Chris
My back's not been so bad
I still have to be careful though
But it's driving me quite mad.

My young girl who cleans for me
She's not been too well
So hoovering hasn't been done
If you saw it you could tell !!

Floor needs mopping in the kitchen
Bill says he'll have a go
Tomorrow -got a meeting Tuesday
Don't want the muck to show !

Training Course on Wednesday
First Aid would you believe
Had to cancel physio
No chance of a reprieve

I've cancelled this course 3 times
Daren't do it any more
I'll get in trouble from our boss
Then got to be back by 4 !

Our lad here's got a meeting
We can't get out of that
So words that are going through my head
Are not exactly ''drat!!''

Still, get this lot all over
The next weeks almost free
I think......or is it ....? Better check
Senior moment me !!

It's cold, it've got the heater on
So I'm all set for TV
Hot coffee, comfy sofa
And blanket round my knees !!
