San... Hello Sandra and everyone in the coffee shop,<br /><br />Sandra I'm sure you Sophie and Lucy will have a great time looking for their prom dresses, are there tastes similar? I wish I could be a fly on the wall, I think you're going to have great fun.<br /><br /> Well we've had a quiet day here today the children had quite an exhausting weekend and a full day yesterday so today have been happy to just chill out, the teenage granddaughter has gone to the gym. She has been revising all day, so it will do her good to get out. Daughter left me some sewing to do (mending) so I have been occupied. John has been helping Callum sort out some wiring in his den, and Ciara has been her usual busy self, just now she is reading. She is so good at keeping herself occupied. <br /><br />Thank you for showing us these lovely cards today, they deserve to have their moment are all gorgeous. <br /><br /> Sending love and hugs to all our absent friends, Saba, Margaret CO, Patricia I hope you are all well. If I have missed anyone I apologise, so this message is also for YOU xxx<br /><br />What a numpty I am have just picked up iPad and realised I hadn't pressed publish. This message should have reached the blog just after 5pm! <br />Better say night night while I'm here.<br />Sleep well everyone, love Brenda xxxBrenda https://www.blogger.com/profile/14121800821999942200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-76616456192070107182016-02-16T21:33:28.046+00:002016-02-16T21:33:28.046+00:00Norah, you toes don't sound good at all.

It said she was in Thailand, had been robbed and had her credit cards stolen. Would I please send a hundred pounds! Now I am not easil fooled. This lady was an ex Missionary and Thailand would have been one of the last places she would ever have visited!! So I decided to ring her - she was at home in The Wirral !! He email account had fallen into the wrong hands and everyone on her address list got the same email! She spent days with BT trying to sort it out! Unfortunately some people are more credulous than me and money had been sent by several people. They never did find out who was responsible but they kept asking my friend if she gave her email out in any public format! She hadn't . It's things I have actually had experience of that concern me . You can't be too careful. Obvious scams often don't reach my Inbox as they are filtered. This one got in because it came from a friend in my Address Book. Please be careful ladies.

You would be surprised what companies sell your details to third parties, utility companies are guilty to name just one! <br />Most things you go on these days ask for your email address and phone number, I will admit though that i always change a digit to prevent being inundated with nuisance calls.. Ideal world are another company that share your details!<br />Nobody else from my address book was mentioned in the email I got, it was just our address, usually these things that are sent have multiple emails in the address to section.<br />Your details are all very secure as fear as I am concerned.

We have just been online shopping today,...Hi Norah,<br />We have just been online shopping today, just to get ideas etc, there is a company called 'Light in the box' it has over 1000 different dresses, but getting the two of them to concentrate is another matter! So I shall shelve it until I have their attention!<br />I am totally 100% with you on the boys in bedrooms thing, especially at the girls age, they aren't really too fussed with boys at the moment thankfully, they both cringe with disgust at the idea of kissing let alone anything else, but I worry what pressure would be put on them, do you remember that advert on TV where the lad was making the girl feel like there was something wrong with her because she do as he wanted!! So like you there would be no closed doors, the girls never close their bedroom doors anyway, strangely! I think that you are a perfectly normal, caring mum, Becca didn't like my rules at the time but she openly admits she was pleased we did stick to them and she is only 21 ! Kirsten probably is the same now she is settled.<br />Our rules weren't any different for Matthew either, for that matter. <br /> Your poor toes sound agony Norah, it sounds more like chilblains than Reynaud's, Becca suffers quite badly with Reynaud's but her fingers or toes have never burst open or had open sores, I would maybe get them looked at as you don't want them getting infected. <br />Sending you gentle hugs my lovely<br />Sandra xxxxSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200010622107370353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-63884041529998425342016-02-16T13:54:55.263+00:002016-02-16T13:54:55.263+00:00I'm glad the decorator has finished and you ca...I'm glad the decorator has finished and you can get back to normal.
