Good Friday Morning Ladies,
Today I would like to share with you this gorgeous card I received from Lynda on Wednesday.
Isn't it just so pretty?? The words inside Lynda's beautiful card, really lifted my spirits and made me
realise how thankful I am to everyone of you amazing ladies, such good friends xxx Lynda used Spellbinders Grand Decorative Squares to make the outer layers of the card, the frame for Lynda's beautiful stamped image is Creative Expressions Umbria Die from the Italian Collection, its great to see you going back and using some of your older dies Lynda, i think that we sometimes forget to go back to those dies that we once loved and used all the time. The stamped image in the centre of the frame has been made by Lynda using the Justrite Wild Rose, Multi Layer stamp set. Everything on the card works so well together too. The gorgeous embellishment has been made by cutting what feels like blue parchment with the Creative Expressions Cornflower Die, the flourish underneath is made from Creative Expressions Blossoming Branch die and a beautiful bow, tied in tulle. Lynda, thank you so much, there is nothing better than receiving a 'just because' card. I hope that you all enjoyed Sue's shows yesterday on C & C,
I will hold up my hands and confess to ordering the new Foundation Card pack, the new colours are gorgeous, we saw them when we went Newbury to the craft show, John Next Door had swatches of all the new colours on his desk, there is new blue colour that is amazing. Thank goodness that expanded the range! Giving us all a little more choice, we tend to see a lot of Periwinkle cards otherwise, I am sure they will all be a hugely popular, well they sold out really quickly!
I will call in later to see what you are all up too, 2 lovely fresh home made quiches in the chiller for lunchtime, so help yourself.
Love and hugs
Sandra

Good morning all my Coffee Shop friends, hope you are TicketyBoo and looking forward to the day ahead.
ReplyDeleteLYNDA:- love your stunning card. The design is wonderful and the Roses are beautiful ... love it all.
Well!! can you believe it, the sun is shining. How long will that last I do not know!!!
I am meeting Hazel and Roberta this morning for coffee, could go on to lunch, who knows, I have not met Roberta before so all very rather exciting.
So glad the sun is shining for the young Duffy's embarking on their Camping Weekend. They have a big 4x4, and Oh! Man! they manage to pack it full .... THEN .... they add the Bike Carrier on the back as well!!! Oh! Yes! and they even manage to pack the boys & dogs in!!!
Everything set up for the day, looking good as always. Got my Tea & Toast and going over to my table in the corner.
Hope Jenny and Laura don't pass the door today. Anne is a regular now and it's great to join her and all the others for a cuppa and a chat.
(((((hugs)))))) in the basket by the door, please help yourself.
Will be back later, might just be in time for some of Sandra's quiche, they certainly smell good. Till then be good xxx
Sorry I missed you this morning Patricia, but maybe catch up at lunchtime as those quiches are very tempting! I got waylaid by the iPad , isn't it awful how you can spend so much time on it?
DeleteAnyway so nice to have heard your letter on Sue's show and wasn't it lovely she mentioned Hazel too, enjoy your day meeting up with Roberta I'm sure you'll all have a fun day!
Hi Patricia,
DeleteHave a lovely time with Hazel and Roberta. I hope the family have a safe journey and a good holiday.
Muriel xxx
Have a lovely day with Hazel and Roberta, it was nice to hear your emails read out on Sues shows yesterday, sorry you didn't get a card as well, but the bonus was Hazel got a mention. Enjoy your day xxx
DeleteHave a lovely day Patricia. Good to hear your name on Sue's show and a mention for Hazel. I was hoping you would win a card but there were so many emails in the cup both times.
DeleteHave a lovely day with Hazel and Roberta! Have fun . Safe travel to the young members of the family too!
DeleteWelcome to Pinterest!! Yay! Xxx
Enjoy your day and meeting Roberta. Hope the young Duffys have a lovely weekend and the sun shines for them.
DeleteOooh are you on Pinterest now? Must have a look.
Xxxx
Hi Patricia, thank you for your kind words yesterday. It was good to hear your email and Sue was pleased. She really does have a great memory doesn't she, remembering Hazel. The first time my Mum met her Mum was amazed that while we were all catching up Sue was asking us (Sandra, Pat, Paul, my Mum and me) about lots of things about family etc. that proves she remembers so much, she is such lovely lady. I hope you have a good time today with Hazel and meeting Roberta for the first time. Such good news about the oldest dog, it is always a worry as they get older isn't it. Your lot will have a great time camping no doubt, as long as it stays dry. Take care xx
DeleteHi Patricia thank you for your kind words about my card.
DeleteHope the young family members have a safe journey & great time.
Good hearing your Email read out & Hazel getting a mention.
Enjoy your lunch with Hazel & Roberta. Hug's xxx
Have a lovely day today Patricia meeting Roberta. Thank you for sending your rain down to us, we needed it xxx
DeleteHi Patricia, hope you girls enjoyed your coffee, did it run into lunch?
DeletePraying the weather keeps fine for the campers. So pleased they are able to take the dogs with them. xxx
Morning Ladies
ReplyDeleteLynda-such a beautiful card. I love the layers & the image you have used is so pretty. Have you coloured it yourself?
Thank goodness it's Friday!! It's been a long week that's for sure. I've got a hairdressers appointment for my colour tomorrow.After hubby finishes golf (lunchtime) "we" are sorting out the garage & putting new flooring down-some clip together stuff. I said I wasn't cooking after that do we're going to walk into the village and can go to the Indian restaurant or the Toby Carvery. Sunday hubby has another golf match so I can watch the two Sue Wilson programmes-yippee!!
Well, we have sunshine here so I hope it reaches everyone today.
Michele
It's been a L O N G week for you.
DeleteEnjoy your weekend xxx
Hi Patricia,

Hi Michele,
DeleteDon't overdo it and wherever you go for lunch, enjoy it!! xxx
Hi Michele. You deserve a good rest this weekend. Enjoy your lunch and catching up with Sue's shows . Take care xx
DeleteHi Michele thank you for your kind comment on my card.
DeleteThe stamp is the vintage rose triple step stamp set,so you don't have to colour it's just all done with stamping this is my first attempt.
Enjoy you lunch Hug's xxx
Good morning all,
ReplyDeleteLynda, your card is so pretty and delicate. loving it immensely. I do like 'Just Because' cards to send out when you know someone is feeling a bit low. it certainly cheers them up to know others are thinking of them.
I'm having a quick cuppa and hot buttered crumpets before driving to Fiona's to pick up Joshua to be my co-pilot as it were.
Some oversea relations re already booked into the hotel, it will be lovely to meet again after 5 years since the last Reunion in Melbourne.
Rain has already for the rest of the day but it won't be dampening our spirits.
However you are planning your weekend, enjoy every minute and don't forget to make some time for yourselves.
Love & hugs
Cheryl xxx
Have a great weekend, enjoy your Reunion.
DeleteLook forward to hearing all about it xxx
Cheryl enjoy your reunion and I do hope the rain stops for you. xxx
DeleteCheryl, have a wonderful time and flash those photos of Milly-May xxx
DeleteCheryl have a fantastic catch up day, don't let the rain dampen your spirits x

DeleteHi Cheryl. Have a wonderful reunion, get lots of photos, and drink lots to keep the voice in good order for all of the talking you will all be doing. Take care xx
DeleteHave a fabulous weekend Cheryl, safe journey xxx
DeleteThank you Cheyl for your kind words
DeleteHave a lovely weekend,enjoy your reunion & cuddles with Milly May.xx
Have a lovely weekend Cheryl. Hope your journey was uneventful and your co-pilot did his job well! xxx
DeleteLynda , what a Gorgeous card! it is so pretty, I love an image at the front of the card and flowers are a favourite , also love the dies used , I have the Umbria die and use it often, all just perfect! xo
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much Anne for your kind comments the image is a stamp from the Vintage rose triple stamplng set.

Hi Maria. I do hope that you can get your tummy troubles sorted before your holiday, great to hear that the scan was clear. Have fun crafting today. Take care xx
DeleteMaria good news about your scan but I do hope the doctor can get to the bottom of it soon (ooeeer no pun intended! Lol) xxx
DeleteMaria thank you for the lovely comments you gave me. Maria you should get this stamp set the vintage rose,you just stamp the three stamps on top of each so no hand colouring this was my first attempt.
DeleteHug's Lynda xx
Can I ask Lynda , who makes the vintage rose stamp? xo
DeleteMorning Sandra and all the coffee shop ladies,
ReplyDeleteWow Lynda your card is so beautiful, love the image, you're another cardmaker where I can't tell whether it's a picture or you have coloured it yourself. I have also been lucky enough to receive one of Lynda's gorgeous cards when I was feeling very low.
The weather is is dull this morning so I wont be up to much today, I may just let my fingers do the walking and look for a new 'wheelie' and then a bit of cardmaking and a tidy-up in preparation for Nikki's visit tomorrow.
Oooh Sandra that quiche smells divine will pop in later for a slice.
Have left comments on the way down and have put extra hugs in the basket, hope our missing ladies are okay and will be back with us soon.
Love and hugs Sheila xxxx
Hi Sheila,
DeleteI still think you were incredibly lucky that the wheel fell off when it did, and not whilst you were on your way to the taxi. How's your hair today, I bet you look stunning!!! xxx
Yes Maureen, I so very lucky as it's one of those with two wheels on...it doesn't bear thinking about it .....trying to drag it along on one wheel with two bags of shopping too!!! Eeeek! Plus looking a fool into the bargain.....I had overladened it so it was my fault entirely so will definitely get a GT model this time!!
DeleteStunning! Me! But of course!,,,NOT! I look like the wild woman of Borneo first thing in the morning.....well most of the day really! xxx
Morning Sheila - don't believe one word that you look like the wild women of Borneo any time. I have the impression you look good whatever you're doing. Good wheelie hunting.
Deletexxxx
Hi Sheila. You were lucky to have a helpful taxi driver weren't you, and that the wheel stayed on until it was in the taxi. Good luck finding a new one. Enjoy your day crafting and getting ready for Nikki's visit. Take care xx
DeleteHello SHEILA Arrr thank you for you kind comments on my card.
DeleteI'm sure you look lovely all the time.Hope you find your new Roll's Royce wheelie x Enjoy your crafting later have you got a special card to make or just playing. Have You got any plans with Nikki tomorrow have a great time what ever you do.love Lynda xx
Hi Sheila , I love my trolley , never ever dreamt I would use one but it is great and I wouldn't want to go grocery shopping without it, I also take it to craft shows, ( probably get called for everything, but I don't care!) anyway I have had it for years , I got it in IKEA and it was really reasonable , one wheel did come off but my OH put new wheels on and it's been super! xo
DeleteSheila, so pleased you were not left in an inconvenient place with one wheel on your wagon!
DeleteI think you should go for one with " go faster stripes" then you may not need roller blades!
Have a lovely time with Nikki. Xxx
Hello everyone,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card Lynda, it's soooo pretty and I love the design. It's like a Rhapsody in Blue.
I'm sitting having a latte, my money's in the pot, and I'm going to get cracking when his Lordship gets up. Washing is on the line - where does it all come from, although to be honest it's bath mats and things like that.
I wonder who will be knocking on Saba's door this morning. It was supposed to be the glazier yesterday, but he couldn't see himself clear to make it!
See you later, wonder if the noise from the hoover will do the trick!
Muriel xxx
P.S. A piece of the quiche has my name on it, oh I've just had a thought, if I use all my names the whole quiche is mine ha ha.xxxxx
Oh no you don't get all the quiche, there is also a piece with my name on! ha ha xxx
DeleteMAUREEN:- surely, oh! surely a dainty person like you could NOT eat a whole quiche???
DeleteJust brush my teeth then I will be out the door to go meet Hazel & Roberta.
Oops!! there's the door, at least I have all my clothes on. see you later.
John got it, the parcel was for him ....... that's a bummer I like parcels, especially if they contain Crafty Goodies xxx
Muriel, I've hidden a piece of quiche for myself. It's quite a big piece and I will be back later to enjoy it.
DeleteGlazier today, honestly.
Xxxxx
morning Maureen/Muriel - which are you using today?
DeleteHope the hoover does the trick. Have a good day.
xxxx
Hi Maureen. You are lucky that you can get the washing on the line today. it is pouring down here, and it is forecast for much more of the same over the weekend too! I can see a quiche war starting here, we will have to ask for a bigger one next time won't we as it seems we all love it. Have a good day. Take care xx
DeleteThank you Maureen for your kind comments.
DeleteIt's raining here & quiet cold. Please save me some quiche Mureial for my lunch mmmm it smells gorgeous.
Hug's Lynda xx
Morning Sandra and ladies, Lynda your card is lovely, love the colours.
ReplyDelete,I tend to go for blue a lot as it is so clean and calming.
Didn't buy anything from c&c yesterday, but enjoyed Sues shows,
The sun is actually shining here today, washing done and out.
Waiting for an insurance assessor to come and see the roof line at the side of our house which has fallen off, the rain caused the damage so here's hoping our insurance will cover the repairs.
Have a good day whatever you get up to.
Take care, Jess xx
Good luck with insurers, it's always a worry, they take your money but then aren't too keen to pay out. Not sure what a roof line is, but doesn't sound good.
DeleteXxxx
Hi Jess. Fingers crossed that you get a good response from the assessor, it is a worry that they will try and wriggle out of paying up isn't it? Take care xx
DeleteHope all goes well Jess, what a pain ! I hope the rain isn't getting in xxx
DeleteGood morning JESS thank you for your lovely comments blue is my favourite colour.
DeleteGood luck with the insurers got my fingers crossed for you.
Hug's Lynda xx
Hi Jess, hope the insurers pay up with no hassle xxxx
DeleteGood morning Sandra and all the coffee shop crew
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolute delight the card from Lynda is, so very beautiful indeed, the colours are wonderful and the roses just perfect, Lynda puts so much thought and time into her cards they are all gorgeous and I am lucky enough to have received more than one from her aren't I a lucky bunny, needless to say they are in my memory box to keep.
Thank you all for your concern while I was busy making boxes I did not even get on the laptop or even my emails had 108 of them to sort out last night!
Patricia and Hazel have a wonderful morning, enjoy every minute of it, all of you.
Cheryl have a wonderful reunion and a safe journey both there and back.
Janet my tissue is at the ready for your report on today's cakes! What a dreadful experience for you going to the supermarket poor you. Funny how the French farmers seem to be able to do just what they want though.
Well I am off shopping this morning my daughter is calling for me so at least the freezer will get filled up again as it is looking decidedly empty. This afternoon the OT from the hospital is calling about a new wheelchair so fingers crossed.
My latte was lovely thank you and my name is on a piece of Sandra's lovely smelling quiche so hope our Maureen does not take it all, my money for the coffee and the quiche is in the pot and my hugs are over in the corner, be good until I get back!
Love to you all
Margaret xxx
Good luck with the new wheelchair, I do hope it is the right one for you.
DeleteDon't forget to ask them if they do it in pink!
Xxxx
With glittered wheels too....good luck Margaret and i hope you get one that suits your need. xxx
DeleteYour chair must be decorated according to the elegant lady you are Margaret - so here goes - glitter as Sheila says for the outside of the wheels; multi-coloured flappers for the spokes. Quilted cushion covers for both sets of cushions oh and bells for three point turns. How'm I doing so far or shall I stop there lol. Good luck xxxx
DeleteHi Margaret. Well done on getting the boxes finished, you can relax now. Good luck with the wheelchair, I hope you get a really comfy one. A bright pink one with glittery wheels would be fantastic for you wouldn't it : ) Take care xx
DeleteHope the wheelchair visit goes well, don't forget you want the delux range! Xxx
DeleteHello MARGARET thank you for your lovely comments.
DeleteGlad you have at last finished your boxes,take a breather.now.
Good luck with getting your new super shiny pink sparkly model Wheelchair I have my fingers & everything crossed for you.
Love Lynda xx
Hi Margaret,
DeleteWhat you want is a wheelchair that cuts the dies as you turn the wheels, then hoovers the bits as you glide over the floor. Ask them if they can do that, and you'd like your favourite colour with flowers and pearls on the side!!! xxxxx
Hope the OT has ordered you the all singing and dancing model xxx
DeleteI think you have missed your calling Maureen! What a wonderful wheelchair that would be, why do they have to be in boring colours anyway? xo
DeleteLove your card Lynda. It's beautiful. I also have the Umbra die and use it a lot.
ReplyDeleteLove the roses. Nothing planned for today but it is supposed to rain all day but have cards and things to make so will get on with that. Will just have a cup of tea and toast and see who is still here to chat to. Be back later.
Thank you BRENDA for your lovely comments on my card. Hug's xx
DeleteHi Lynda. As I said earlier I love this stamp. I have been looking online for it this morning but cannot find anyone selling it. Did you buy it on line or from craft shop or craft show please.
DeleteGood morning all
ReplyDeleteLynda, love your card, the stamped roses are beautiful and I love all the shades of blue you have used, and the cornflowers are gorgeous.
I'm a bit peckish this morning so I think I'll have a toasted crumpet with my latte today.
Now you know the story of the little boy who cried wolf? Well today I have the glazier coming. I really really do. We are having a new window in the bedroom and he is coming to do the final measurements. I hasten to add, I am showered and dressed.
Otherwise nothing planned for today, second lot of washing is in, tidying, dusting and Mr. Dyson put through his paces so I think a little crafty afternoon is in order.
Be back later for lunch, I've cut myself a piece of your delicious looking quiche Sandra and have hidden it just in case.
Love Saba xxxx
Thank you SABA for your very kind words.the flower is Sue's foldover flower die. I cut them from velum & I'm quite pleased with them.
DeleteHug's Lynda xx
Hi Brenda LL. Have a lovely relaxing day crafting. Please share what you create with us. We have the rain too, shame we can't send it over to Janet isn't it. Take care xx
ReplyDeleteMorning everyone
ReplyDeletePatricia have a wonderful day with Hazel and Roberta - don't eat too many cakes or you won't have any room for Sandra's expanding Quiche.
Cheryl - have a fabulous time making memories - it's nearly 10years since I had a reunion with all my family - maybe time for another will have to see.
Lynda your card today for Sandra is just beautiful and yes just like a vision in blue. Love all of it.
We had a short visit to Corbigny this morning as I'm still suffering from yesterday's jaunt. Pastries are quite normal today as we called at another bakery so we'll have to see what they're like.
It's definitely going to be a quiet afternoon here. I can hear the bedroom calling letting me know how cool it is in there.
Have a good day everyone. Hugs should have arrived by now - hope so.
xxxx
Thank you so much JANET for your kind word about my card.
DeleteHave a lovely day enjoy your pastries,& take it easy today .
Hug's Lynda xx
Hi Saba. I hope your window man turns up today for you! Enjoy a crafty day, and your bit of quiche. (If I hid a piece I would probably forget where I put it knowing what my memory is like!) Take care xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra and all the lovely ladies
ReplyDeleteLynda your card is beautiful, you really put a card together beautifully and they look so fresh. Your stamping is gorgeous too. Thank you for sharing. Xxx
Well it's pouring with rain here and quite chilly and yes the council men are out cutting the grass! Typical! I've got a card to make today for my uncles 90th birthday, we are having a family party in his sons garden ( oh yes big posh house!) so hopefully the sun will shine tomorrow. Must book a chiropractor appointment too, the ice and pain killers are helping but I'm sure it's a trapped nerve so will need a bit of manipulation. Not what I wanted to spend £40 on though! Emma's friend was 18 yesterday, the baby of the group so they are off out for most of the night clubbing for the first time.! They are not really a clubbing crowd but it had to be done- mind you I think Emma will be asleep in the corner by midnight! She's going to be fun tomorrow at uncles party and will be teased by her cousins once they find out what she's been up to, all part of the growing up process though! Right I must get on, I need to do ironing today too so a lot to get done. Muriel don't eat all the quiche and be kind to George!
Lots of love Diane xxx
Hello DIANE thank you so much your very kind.Enjoy your uncles 90th birthday party tomorrow. Happy birthday for Emma's friend hope they both enjoy the clubbing exsperance tonight.
DeleteGood luck with the card. Hug's Lynda xx
Hi Diane,
DeleteI hope Emma has a great time and that your pain eases a lot. My pain is playing bowls tonight ha ha. xxx
Oh Maureen what are you like! My pain is on call but hopefully it will be a quiet night! Xxx
DeleteHi Sandra and all in the Cafe today. It is so good to be able to visit the cafe, even if I am a little late this morning : )
ReplyDeleteLynda, your card is beautiful, I love the stamped flowers, you have done them perfectly, blue is my first choice every time, I love the shades you have used. Thank you for sharing it with us : ) I am so glad that Annie is much better now, £ vet's bills are a nightmare but we would go without things for ourselves wouldn't we to see our pets well : )
I have commented on the way down but to everyone else I wish you all a god day, we have rain here but some of you have the sun so enjoy it . Janet, I do hope you get more than just the shower you had the other night though.
Sandra, I hope you are all ok, have a good day my lovely. Got to go and get ready to go to Mum and Pop's, and hopefully pick up a new mobile for me, you know how dodgy mine is now. Oh dear, that will be fun having to learn how to use it! Take care xx
Thank you so much Sue for your kind words on my card I do love blue & the stamps are really great,they have some nice new blue shades in the foundation card. Good luck with the new mobile phone.
ReplyDeleteHug's Lynda xx
Good morning Sandra & friends
ReplyDeleteOooo was a bit of a shock seeing my card on your blog Sandra really pleased you liked it & hope it cheered you up.the flower's were made with Sue's foldover die & I did use used velum pleased with the result.Thank you for sharing it with everyone. Did you get your medication sorted out. When do you go on holiday are you useing your new tent?
I had a good crafty day at my friends yesterday did lots of cutting out useing her die's but only scratched the surface so many to choose from. She also gave me two of Sue's new Chrismas die's as she already had them but didn't realise & ordered them again the snow flake background & the snow flake border corner & tag set flake so that was a bonus Yaaay. Not up to much today raining so craft room calling I think but first having hair cut & she will be here shortly so will call in later. The quiche was lovely Sandra thank you.
Love & Hug's Lynda xx
Hi Lynda,
DeleteI just love your card such a beautiful blue my favourite colour.
Love Margaret xx
Hi Sandra
ReplyDeleteI just love your card Lynda. I was lucky enough to see it in the flesh. The Blues work so well together. I'll try a piece of quiche later Sandra if there's any left. Love your stamping and colouring as well. Good luck with the new mobile phone Sue. I'm jelous Sandra that you're having the new colours as they were gorgeous. I'd like the pumice but haven't been able to find it where I'm not paying a fortune for postage.
Hello Pat,thank you very much for your kind comments on my card.
DeleteThose new foundation card colours are gorgeous I love them,but having to spend £50 for free p&p not good.Hope Pete is doing ok.
Hug's for you both love Lynda xx
Hello Sandra and everyone,
ReplyDeleteSandra, What a lovely surprise for you when this beautiful card came through your letter box, LYNDA your card is gorgeous, love the Rose it reminded me of - I think it's Wedgewood china called Iced Rose. You really are so thoughtful, a true caring friend, your thoughtfulness was just the tonic Sandra needed.
Sorry just a quick visit, we are going shopping, nothing exciting just stocking up
the freezer!
Leaving lots of Hugs for everyone, please help yourself.
Will be back later, Love Brenda xxx
Thank you so much BRENDA for your kind words for my card.I love blue & those stamps are worth a go,I not very good at colouring.
DeleteLove Lynda xx
Hi everyjone, well the Insurance Assessor has been and gone, guess what....no luck on claiming on the house insurance, it seems it is down to wear and tear, under the roof tiles, a well just have to get on with it I suppose. Now looking for a roofer to get estimates!!,
ReplyDeleteMargaret hope you had better luck with your OT regarding your new wheelchair.
Managed to do a Christmas card just using one die, and a birthday card with no dies for our challenge, will get photos off to Sandra asap.
Enjoyed the quiche, thanks Sandra, hope I haven't had the last bit!
Hope you are all having a good day. Take carexxxx
Oh no!! It makes you wonder why we take out insurance in the first place. Hope it's not too expensive.
DeleteXxxxx
Oh so sorry JESS you had no luck with your claim,hope it'snot too expensive but make sure they are not cowboy builders.
DeleteBig Hug's Lynda xx
What a pain Jess. I hope it's not too expensive for you xxx
DeleteHello all,
ReplyDeleteWell would you believe it, there's no quiche left!!!! Actually that's not strictly true. there's a crumb in the middle of the plate!!!
Saba, be nice to the glazier and don't frighten him away!!!
Jess, why am I not surprised that the insurer won't pay up? They are quick to take your money, but very slow to pay out.
That's my lot today folks, I've read all your comments but the girls are here shouting for their tea, and I doubt I'll get back in, so I'll say cheerio, I hope you've all had a good day and see you sometime tomorrow.
Love Muriel xxxx
Muriel, I am about to do a good deed.
DeleteThe quiche I hid is in a plastic container, buried under the soil in the plant pot out front. You can have it.
Enjoy your evening with the girls. No hot chocolate in bed please!!
See you tomorrow xxxx
Hi Muriel have a lovely evening with the girls which DVD is it for tonight's viewing. Love too you all xx
DeleteOoohhh a crumb lovely, I'll have that :) can we watch Mamma Mia please grandma Muriel please xxxx
DeleteHello Ladies!
ReplyDeleteJust a brief pop in! We've arrived in Surry. Got here around 2pm. Passed a few places I recognised on the way! Signs for Milton Keynes and Oxford etc. made me think of some good friends on the blog!
It's very wet here tonight.
Just had some champagne and canapés lovely!
Beautiful card from Lynda, who I know is a very kind , lovely lady. Lovely blue hues and blues flowers.
Will try to pop in later as I've no idea what you've been up to!
I do know Patricia's been busy!!!
Lots of love to you all,
Myra xxx
OH MYRA thank you so much you have made me blush with your lovely words. Your equally lovely & very kind too.
DeleteHow Very posh Champagne & Canapés Ooo how the other half live enjoy your weekend my friend. Love Lynda xx
Enjoy your weekend Myra, don't get too tidily on champers xxxx
DeleteDiane , I'm shhhtill sober as a judge! Xxx
DeleteHello everyone
ReplyDeleteRight who has taken my piece of quiche, where is it? I was so looking forward to it, so come on own up who has eaten it, my money is on Muriel or Saba did she take it to give to her visitor she claimed was coming today?
Well got all the shopping thank goodness this morning so our freezer is now full again thank goodness.
The OT came brought what the NHS claim is a light weight chair but, it is over 2kg heavier than the one I have and that is after the cushion, wheels and footplates have all been removed! She has agreed it is of no use to me so I have been put on the waiting list to see the engineer, guess what there is at least a 10 week waiting list! The government say the NHS is getting better, I don't think so, but on the brighter side I am given a choice of colours blue, red grey or black, yippee do!
Now Maureen please do take care tonight if you are going to have a bedtime feast in bed with your girls and please no hot chocolate!
Jess have you thought of asking your roofer for a second opinion and if he says the damage is due to the weather ask him for a report and send a copy to your insurance company giving them 10 working days to reply and if you hear nothing or are not happy with their response, then send a copy of your roofers report and if possible some photographs along with copies of your letters to your insurance company to the Insurance Ombudsman asking for their opinion. Please don't be afraid they really are very good and most helpful, we had a problem with our insurance company last year and contacted them. the result was really good they were made to pay up in full and also made them pay us interest at a very good rate, from the date we made the claim to the insurance company. To be quite honest they could not have been more helpful, so do give them a try they are very fair.
Oh I am hungry and I was so looking forward to that lovely looking quiche, so I suppose I shall have to have some bread and jam instead.
I will be back later to see how our Scottish girls got on this morning, and see if Sheila has got a new super shopper sorted.
Margaret xxx
MARGARET:- have you ever thought of setting yourself up as a "consultant" ??? You keep giving such wonderful information and advice. I will certainly contact you if I have problem that I can't get settled. Mind you I have been lucky this week. I complained about the funny taste with some TBags I bought. I got a nice letter and a bundle of Vouchers for their products. When I was on holiday in Tukey May/June I bought something, paid with my Visa card and was charged twice on my bill. I phoned the Credit Card Co. They took ages to do anything. I called again asking what they were doing about it. I got a call yesterday apologising and offering me £25 compensation. They said they have been extra busy and were sorry they had take so long to sort it out. That's 2, I just need and 3rd but can't think of anything can you.
DeleteGlad you have your freezer stocked again.
Sorry to hear about th chair though. Hopefully they will not take all that time to get to you.
Pity about your piece of Quiche, hope you enjoyed the Bread & Jam xxx
Oh Margaret I can't believe a new chair is heavier than your old one! So much for improvements over the years! Now what colour are you going to choose! I hope you find where they have hidden the quiche xxx
DeleteGood evening folks, had a great meet up with Hazel and Roberta this morning.
ReplyDeleteRoberta is lovely, felt as though I had known her for ever. Lots and lots of chat and laughter. A few words had to be translated on both sides. Its amazing how we use different words for the same thing. John always says "I thought they spoke English in USA ... not the same English as I use though"
Got home this afternoon, really did nothing, rather lazy, not like me but there you go. I have things I need to do, just can't be bothered.
Might just have a look at this PINTEREST thing. Yes!! MYRA:- I signed up, done a few pins but don't know yet how to "find" people. Will go see if I can suss that out.
Will try and pop back later, I have a funny feeling I might just "nod off" Do you ever get that, you just want to be "lazy" thats how I feel tonight
Going to look back see what you have been getting up to while I have been typing this. xxx
So pleased you a lovely time today with Hazel and Roberta language is a funny thing at times. I know just what you mean about doing nothing but lets be honest a little rest to re-charge the batteries does no harm, well that is my excuse! xxx
DeleteI am non too sure how you find people on Pinterest but I sometimes find people by typing their name or their blog address at the top of the page to the left hand side. Sometimes if you find someone have a look and see who they follow and there maybe someone on the list you are looking for, hope this is of some help!
DeleteI love it when you get a positive response from these big companies who let us down. I do find if you are writing to them a good thing to do is to look on their web site to see if they have their mission statement on and if so quote it back to them if they have failed. This really works a treat, this is what I did for a good friend of ours who bought a new Ford car and had dreadful trouble with it for some reason it would just stop, on a round about, at a junction quite simply anywhere! The garage tried all manner of things but no good they even got a specialist Ford engineer up and he could not solve it. I took over for him and wrote to the CEO of Ford telling him what was happening and quoted their mission statement back to him, it took two letters but our friend got a brand NEW car to replace the faulty one! That was my best result so far and needless to say our friend was delighted. xx
Patricia. Glad you all had a lovely time. I also cannot find out how to find people on Pinterest. There doesn't seem to be anywhere to put in a search. Perhaps some knowledgeable person on her will be able to help us. We will wait and see. Enjoy the rest of the day.
ReplyDeleteWell I think my comment has disappeared into cyberspace. PATRICIA I am pleased to had a lovely time with Hazel and Roberta. I too cannot find how to find people on PInterest. There doesn't seem to be anywhere to put in a search. Perhaps one of the clever ladies in the cafe will be able yo help us. Enjoy the rest of the evening even if it is doing nothing.
ReplyDeleteBrenda,
DeleteOn Pinterest at the bottom of the page are four little icons. If you click on the second one - it looks like a magnifying glass - a new page will appear with a search bar at the top. Search for the persons name on that. Or if you already know someone on Pinterest click on their Followers or Following - you will get a list. Click on the picture or name and you are off! I hope this helps. Xxx
Thank you Myra. Will give it a try tomorrow. Time to go to sleep now I think. Hot chocolate first though. Hope you have a lovely weekend.
DeleteOh dear he other message has apoeared now sorry I sent two.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone
ReplyDeleteWhat a wet cold miserable day we have had, still the garden needs the rain. Emma has gone round to her friends and they will go out at 11 - I'm going to bed then! We are convinced she won't last the night but they have to do these things don't they! I've spent the day making a pop up box card for my uncle following my friend Jackies instructions. Making the box was easy but thinking how to decorate it for a 90 year old man who has trouble seeing was a challenge! I will take a photo and send it to Sandra. I gad thought I could enter it for the one die challenge but in the end I used two dies ( one was an old star die I've had for years!) . Well I'm going to sign off now, I'm watching the Masterchef final and I need to paint my tie nails - they will either look glamorous in sandles or well lies tomorrow ! Lol. Janet they have been showing pictures of all the lorries lined up on the motorways in France and England today due to operation stack. Buy lots of wine cheese and bread and stay at home! I hope your family have a straight forward journey getting to you next week.
See you all later xxxx
Evening Ladies
ReplyDeleteWhat a strange evening-i offered to cook tea which is most odd but hubby had driven to North Lake District & back today. Called for petrol on the way home from work & got soaked as no coat & it was pouring! Got home, poured a glass of wine & started tea. Checked on a few emails then heard a strange noise= power failure!! Entire area according to Scottish Power, ah well never mind! Keep slurping the wine, sent my Dad a text to check he was OK (tes he was), went outside & spoke to neighbours. After 20 or so minutes the power came back on.
Afterbtea & doing the dishes, I have emailed Sandra a few photos that don't feature diecuts!! Shocking as I just love my dies.
Settled down with a cuppa (decaff) and a magazine.
Michele
I do hope your meal was not spoilt with the power cut, and you enjoyed your wine xx
DeleteGood evening, Lynda your card is beautiful,,love that blue colour. I thought I'd pop in for a hot chocolate and see if any one was around, Roberta has gone of to bed, she still hasn't got her clock right, and wasn't helped by Harris who decided to ask her to let him out at the crack of dawn this morning! She went for a little power nap this afternoon but sleep caught up again. We had a good morning with Patricia, tomorrow she will meet Tammy and Andrew they are coming over while Derek and Calum are at the football,
DeleteHaven't had time to catch up on all that was going on, will try and do that before it go to bed. Enjoyed my hot chocolate, money in the pot. Xxx
Glad you had a good morning with Patricia. I expect it will take Roberta a while to get adjusted to get time change by then it will be time for her to go back home. Been wet all day here and has turned quite cold. Just had to go and find a thick cardigan. Really I suppose it would be better if I went yo bed then I could suggle down under the duvet with Margarets heat bag. Have a good day tomorrow.
DeleteHiya, Just a quickie as I'm real tired (honestly) and need my beauty sleep , don't know who else we are seeing tomorrow in Watford and don't want to scare anyone.
DeleteCalled the surgery this morning and something and behold I got to see one at lunch time. She gave me new meds so now we will see if they do anything . If you hear some rattling it's probably me walking past.
It seem like you all had a good but busy day so hope you all have a good night, hope to see you tomorrow. Love to all Maria xxx
Maria and Karen ,
DeleteHave a really love time tomorrow - oops it's today!! Xxx
Hi everyone, thanks for all your comments re our Insurance company, will see what happens when we get an estimate for repair, depending on how much it is going to cost, might just have to pay as we have an excess on the policy.
ReplyDeletePatricia and Hazel glad you had a good day today with Roberta.
Will catch up tomorrow, take care, xxx
