Hi dancing - I have been to Salem a couple of times (and Boston) think this is classified as New England?

Hi jvh - hope you are enjoying a relaxing day!

Purple do hope your daughter is ok - and her next blood tests are fine. A worry for you - best wishes with your beautiful new grandson.

Hey Nefretiti what are you up to??

Just sitting around waiting for my mum to come up for a cuppa. She's also bringing a couple of e bay purchases arrived today (we share an a/c and use her address for that a/c) - something to look forward to!

Hope your day was successful libby!!

Hi everyone 🙂

Sounds like you've all been busy. I had a day packing stuff away doing dishes and in the Garden. Oh I also recycled some curtains by dying them pink except they look more like maroon lol

Now I've put the roast lamb on and dashed out to split some wood for the fire. Just as well my foot is better!! Oh I'm yet to peel the spuds that's the next job.

I'll be cleaning the bathroom, doing the dishes, folding the washing and mopping the floor later.....

Where's the housing cleaning fairy when you need her huh???

> Could never see the sense in chasing a little white ball around - but each to his own. Glad you had a nice break JVH
>
> Flying to Sydney on Wednesday to look at a house - everyone please cross your fingers for me that this is the right one and that the (hopeful) sale of the unit falls into place.
>
> Nef - hope the job scene improves quickly - or you will have to spend your days on Farm Town - boy is that addictive.
>
> Have a good day everyone


Hi Rosie and yes was great to get away.......and super good luck in the real estate department is so stressful either selling or buying have always dreaded it:)

> Good morning all!!!
>
> You are up early this morning jvh - your OH must be a fantastic golfer (all that practice!) -
> Regards the pork - I normally treat it just as I would a roast dinner - have it with vegetables/salad/potatoes etc. This time I made a corn pudding to have with it for a change of pace.
>
> Hi libby - glad you had a great weekend - let us know when you get your new crock pot and in the interim I will have a good look around for a slow cooking website I KNOW I have around this desk somewhere.
>
> Chit chat hoping puss is totally better now.
>
> Went to the shopping mall yesterday - bought some new cannisters and a scarf - yay! OH has tendonitis of the achilles heel so he got to stay home and rest.

Hi everyone.
Welcome back jvh - it was such hard work keeping this thread going without youB-)
No seriously!
Hope your mum ok and glad you had a relax! - You should do it more often - as I gather you are retired (oh I wish!!!!):-p

libby - I am absolutely addicted to the little smiley faces - I think it's an obsession! But you can say so much with one key - and they look so great!B-)

Purple - congratulations!!!!!!!:-x Hope your daughter's liver results OK.?!

Where is pj? I've been away for a few days - but I don't see her? Hope all went well at the dentist, pj?

Hi and welcome dancing - great to have some contact with people over there - as you can see we're all pretty "laid back" - talk about real things like golfing husbands, the weather, and feeling sick - plus family events etc. Sorry to hear your threads are wrecked.:|

Best of luck to you job seekers - I was bemoaning the fact I have to get up and go to work - and then I remembered you all trying so hard to be in my position!:-p

Hi Scatty and thank you...yes would love to travel more but cant with mother as there is no other family to take over the reigns........thems the breaks:(

Have been so busy since leaving work that i dont know how i ever had time to work........though did work for 38 years so think i have earned my stripes:)

Evening all.

Not the best here. Got a cold. I am a big sook when I have a cold. Feeling really washed out. Getting nothing done. Was hoping to have the house spic and span for when the new bubs comes home. Oh well maybe tomorrow.

Yep JV I think after 38 years you have certainly earned your stripes.

Where is PJ? Hope she is okay. I think today was little Emily's funeral. Maybe wrong. Just hope pj is ok though.
