It's bloody ridiculous that's what it is, I never knew they even changed the name! <br />I can't believe you would lie to a policeman Maureen, I am shocked, haha, you very quick thinking!<br />Isn't it funny how we or our parents worried about us, my friend and I used to walk two miles on a Friday to go to a local village Youth Club Disco, we walked back through a graveyard, but there is no way I would let my girls do that now !

Not had a good day, handed my notice in tonight. After 12 years of doing every thing for them, she wasn't happy about me claiming mileage for the 781miles I did for them last month, so I told her to get someone else. Blood pressure well up, but you know something I am happy to be retiring. Ok have to think twice about buying dies but hey ho who cares.

I would love to be able to do it so well, mine just looks like painting by numbers when I have finished. Thank you Sandranfor showing it to us.<br />Margaret's " we was brung up proper" did make me smile and brought back so many happy memories of our innocent childhoods. I remember penny for the guy particularly well because one year when I was probably no more than 4 or 5 years old, my older brother dressed me in his pyjamas, stuffed straw up the sleeve ends and feet, put a brown paper bag over my head with eye holes cut in and made me sit in a pram and be very still whilst he and his friends pushed me about asking for pennies. I often wonder whether my mum knew what he was doing, but I doubt it, they just let you out in those days without wondering what you were up to. They didn't need to worry.<br />Maureen made me laugh with her blackboard paint. What a silly old world when we can't use black as an adjective for fear of offending anyone and dustbin men have to be refuse collectors and we have to be "politically aware " before saying anything. Even poor old Enid Blyton had to be rewritten because Noddy used to sleep with Big ears and Apparently that implied improper behaviour. Never occurred to me!!!<br />Sam, Theresa and Littlelamb, so sorry things are not good for you at the moment, hope things soon improve for you all.<br />I am so excited to see what Sue has for us tomorrow, I hope all the pre order sites haven't spoiled it for her - I even had an online shop send a mail about the dies and they had pictures of her sample cards. Goodness knows how that came about. <br />Well, coffee is finished so expect the cafe will be wanting to close now, just remains to say a big welcome to JESS, Sandra's blog is a fabulous place to pop in for a chat, a coffee and the cake of your dreams and not forgetting, the fabulous cards she shows us each and every day.<br />Love and hugs to you all, especially to you Sandra for your amazing Blog.<br /><br />SabaTooth Fairy Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102182308435269314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-41544567978084058682015-02-02T19:43:07.406+00:002015-02-02T19:43:07.406+00:00Great to see you Jess.

I never feel that I can do justice to stamping, I must practice more but I don't think I'll ever be up to your standard Pat .<br />O dear Margaret, you did take me down memory lane, yes I'm a child of the 40s we didn't have toys, we didn't need them, my family lived until I was about six just outside Coventry then we moved to a village called Whitwick in Leicestershire where I lived until I was 16. Life was a child dream we had a brook opposite our house and woodlands just up the road where we could roam, pick bluebells, climb the trees, swing from the trees even make a Den in the trees. Life was so free in those days, And so was the entertainment. O happy days!<br />Sandra, hope you manage to sort out the girls birthday presents, wish them a happy birthday from me, will try to remember to do it again on Wednesday but just in case LOL<br />Hope you managed to get school/hospital/optician sorted out with out giving yourself too much stress.<br />Is it too late to order a cappuccino with a slice of fruitcake please.<br /><br />Well we have done our afternoon school run, back home again now having cooked dinner four grandchildren children. Our dinner is almost ready so then I can sit with my feet up.<br />Good night my lovely friends, hopefully be back tomorrow.

Sandra, regarding people and information, it is so annoying when they start treating you like an imbeccible that can't comprehend what they are being told, speaking from personal experience it riles me right up. The hospital i think your next course of action there would be to make a formal complaint to the Chief Executive of the board as they are breaking the law even discussing it without your written permission naming the people that you are willing to see or be spoken to about the wee lass' s condition. The second point would be that they can tell a total stranger that could be absolutely anyone on the phone their findings but cannot tell her MOTHER. No, i think i would be seeking further advice legally as they are bang out of order. sorry, rant over.<br />take care dear friend<br />Norah (Glenochil Yokel)Glenharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653116596107902711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-9007552026224698012015-02-02T17:44:26.190+00:002015-02-02T17:44:26.190+00:00Hi Sandra

We haven't had a phone line or internet for nearly three weeks. Margaret card is beautiful you are so kind to show them to us. I will try to catch up on what I have missed. It's a shame there will be so many comments to read on Sues blog tomorrow. I just wish they would stay its what Sue deserves. Theresa sorry you didn't get good news from your scan. I hope. It gets sorted quickly as being in pain gets you down. Love and bugs to all. Hope I can still drop in tomorrow. TandyTandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13232970896789512423noreply@blogger.com
