Morning 🌞
Not that it's sunny out , warm and wet this morning . Up to Mum's for leg club today , she needs to keep going for them to keep an eye on them.
We have been to the races in Chepstow twice. It's not my thing either but the horses are beautiful. Such magnificent animals. I doubt if l will ever go again tbh though . It was very exciting though 😁 l can see why Wreck goes every year🤗
Fluffy glad your headache has gone this morning 💐
Wheelie, Azrael is gorgeous in his shark bed ❤️🤗
Hope you get your aid done quickly m'dear 🤗
Fanny the match is now a draw because of the weather 🙄 . My rugby obsessed DD & DH are in mourning 😁
Not me 😂
Crazy hope you feel better now 😷 you have been in the wars 💐 . A lot of people have been poorly here lately .
Whatever happened to Mase? Here one min gone the next , l wonder where the troll that is haunting our thread is ? 🤣
Best shift🤗
Wreck have you heard anything about the job yet m'dear?

DaveTheGhost · 10/10/2019 07:27

Morning everyone! And welcome Til

I’m sorry I wasn’t on much yesterday, we’ve been well and truly hit with a big. My DGM was taken into hospital yesterday, she has pneumonia and it isn’t looking good unfortunately. I’ll still try and update you as much as I can.

NoWordForFluffy · 10/10/2019 07:29

Red sky in the morning, sailors' warning, Firefly!

It's so bloody windy here - again - today. We've had a very windy year this year.

Flouncy, we were talking about the Japanese forecast. Not really much they can do, is there?! If nature turns, you can't fight it!

I've been told that the races is a good day out, but I've just never been bothered enough. If it was free and easy to get to I might reconsider! 😂

Firefly girl l x posted with you m'dear 🤗
The stains on the clothes are awfully hard to get out. I put stain remover on them and a stain remover in the WM draw AND use a bio powder but they still persist. If they do then l spray neat Flash bleach on them and it dies go then. I didn't realise it was good to put them in the sun to get rid of the stains though . I will be trialling that 😂.

NoWordForFluffy · 10/10/2019 07:34

Sunshine is ace for stains! Natural bleach. ☀️

There's a man who is fast asleep on my train. I hope he doesn't miss his stop. 😂

Mrsmadevans · 10/10/2019 07:34

Fluffy l think you would enjoy it but it's not high up on a list of to do with a young family and a ft job and 2 , yes 2 allotments 😁. You must be itching to get back to it . 💐
Better shift 😁 have a great day everyone 😀

NoWordForFluffy · 10/10/2019 07:35

I've got big plans for Saturday, Mrs! Loads of clearing and getting stuff in the ground. 😁

OP posts:
Mrsmadevans · 10/10/2019 07:35

Fluffy are you sure he is asleep and not dead. I have been surrounded by death this year and my senses are heightened to the mere suggestion 🙄

Mrsmadevans · 10/10/2019 07:36

Yes l knew you would be raring to get at it 😁

NoWordForFluffy · 10/10/2019 07:36

I can only see his reflection in the window, so can't poke him to see! He's still pink. And he just shut his mouth. Alive!!!!!

Hang on. We don't have sailors warning round here we have shepherds warning?! Never heard of sailors Grin

Mrs we go because someone I know does business with them and we get to go free. Our tickets this year would have been £475 each 😂

I have a hospital appointment today and work then Ds has football after school club then football with a training academy at 5:45 then I'm going out to dinner for a colleagues retirement. Busy busy busy!

Mrsmadevans · 10/10/2019 08:10

Glad the sleeping man is ok Fluffy 😊
Wreck l think you are lucky to have such a treat for nowt m'dear 🤗 am glad for you 👏
Fanny do you have to travel far to Chepstow? The bridge is free now 😀

Mrsmadevans · 10/10/2019 08:12

I had best shift 🤗

Hope your grandmother is better Dave 💐

Shepherds at night, sailors in the morning! Or that's how I've been told it, Wreck. 😂😂

OP posts:
Mrsmadevans · 10/10/2019 08:17

Not too far then and a lovely part of the world 😁
I didn't even think of Fos las tbh 🙄🤗
Must go speak LTR 😁

TilandPop · 10/10/2019 08:28

wheelie you poor thing! It sounds so frustrating. At least it’s getting solved now. Azzy looks tiny.

mrs there’s a troll haunting the thread??

fluffy I always panic when I’m on the bus and someone’s asleep. I couldn’t ever risk it.

It’s shepherds warning here too wreck, red sky in the morning shepherds warning, red sky at night shepherds delight Xmas Grin

It’s cold here but still sunny and crisp. It’s meant to rain in the evening, and then rain for the week ahead but it always says that and then turns out it doesn’t rain. It’s like the forecasters want to scare us Xmas Grin

The girls have swimming this morning so I’ll be leaving for that in a bit and then I might just treat them to a maccie d’s for lunch. Change of plan with the garden centre, we’re going tomorrow so DM can come with us. Apparently the range has a big Christmas Decoration section if anyone wants to look?.

DaveTheGhost · 10/10/2019 08:33

Thank you everyone for the well wishes for DGM❤️. I will go and visit her when she’s a bit more stable, she’s in her 80s bless her but she’s always as fit as a fiddle.

wheelie those bloody hearing aids! Let’s hope they get fixed this time around aye!

firefly the sun’s the best thing for stains I say! That and vanish.

DM has to go to the docs today as she’s found a lump in her boob. Hopefully it isn’t anything sinister. They say everything comes in threes so I’m waiting for the next thing to come along!.

Sorry for being such a downer everyone!.

NoWordForFluffy · 10/10/2019 08:34

Yep, Til. There's at least one troll that we're aware of. It's a bit mad really, but clearly they get off on pretending to be somebody they're not. Why they can't just be who they really are, I don't know (even if they're a hairy trucker called Dave from Texas, it doesn't matter as long as they love Christmas)!

OP posts:
TilandPop · 10/10/2019 08:36

Oh sorry Dave, I didn’t see your post!. I hope you’re all feeling better and my best wishes to your DM and DGM. You’re all in my thoughtsFlowers

Fluffy blimey that’s weird! I knew there were MN trolls (I’ve even seen some of the poo trolls posts😂), but I thought they’d be more imaginative to troll a Christmas thread!.

NoWordForFluffy · 10/10/2019 08:44

The best thing is that they're totally identifiable as they tend to follow a pattern. But you're not allowed to troll hunt, so we just have to put up with it! 😂

You'll spot them too when you've been here a while. Xmas Grin

OP posts:
TheWoollybacksWife · 10/10/2019 08:46

Dave Thanks I hope things improve for your DM and DGM.

Fluffy I now have visions of Texas Dave, driving his big rig (Blush) around Dallas, with his hairy hands covered in glitter, a Christmas tree on his dashboard and Jingle Bells belting out from his radio. 🤣

TilandPop · 10/10/2019 08:52

I’ll keep an eye out Fluffy, it must be annoying though just having to humour people that you know are trolls.

Your version of Texas Dave sounds awesome Wooly😂

Mrsmadevans · 10/10/2019 09:03

We don't mind too much Til . We, the regulars, have a laugh behind their back on PM"s . Hallelujah for PM's l say 😂
Best go have a lovely day everyone 😀
Especially the latest Troll/s because to want to do that here among us very innocuous innocent kind peeps they can't be happy bless them 💐
