Today I've been mainly.......Volume 4

nanachrissy what a beautiful child Savannah is - we have a young relative with that name - her teenage pals call her Savvy now!! She has has titian coloured hair like yours - stunning!

So sorry to hear you sad news Elegran, thoughts and for you

Carol, Thanks,I'm so pleased she has titian hair as that was my colour when I was younger. Now it's lost all the red and just gone mud coloured at the back!
Also I'm secretly pleased because it will be a constant source of annoyance to my first ex (her gdad)!

Small things amuse small minds!! Tee hee.

Elegran

... and from me too Elegran

Dear elegran, I cried when I read your post and the phrase "a happy and holy death" sprang to mind. One could not ask for a more peaceful passing than to say goodnight to one's nearest and dearest knowing they are nearby and then fall asleep. I hope my Christian sentiments do not offend anybody but it also reminded me of what our curate said after we lost a very dear friend - that she fell asleep and woke in paradise. Condolences to you and all your family and comfort now that your DH is at peace. xxx

I think that it's the way that we would all choose to go gracesmum isn't it

Well I've spent the day reading files for the tribunal and drinking lovely large hot coffees from my new toy. It's great i just go into the kitchen, push a button and hey presto!
The only thing it doesn't do is take it to my chair and give me a biscuit!
Awesome, as dd would say.

[jeni] grin

I mean, jeni

Not enough coffee here perhaps!

*that bagitha]

You've got me at it now

jeni have you got a new toy, I am on my way over for a coffee be there in 5.

It's a bean to cup coffee maker that you programme for how you like your coffee. You need a degree to work it . Gary the Gardner set it all up for me yesterday. It's great!

Mmm I can smell it here,I'm in Devon visiting friends, and it is very strong, where are you, I'll be over in a minute.

Me too!What's Gary the Gardener like?

Is he related to Pheonix's naturist window cleaner?

No he's Kate the cleaners husband. They keep chickens and seem to regard me as being in the same category ie I need looking after, poor old dear that I am

That's lovely, jeni!

Does your new coffee machine make the coffee really hot jeni? I have a "bean to cup" machine and have to warm the milk or make a cappuccino (double p - double c?) to have a nice hot cup

Yes but then I drink cappuccino or latte any way. Gary the Gardner drinks his black and it was hot. It's the de longhi magnifica 4.350

Oh it froths the milk as well.really is just press a button. I got it 1/2 price on eBay.

I love a bargain.

DD has one she was given for Mother's Day by her very discerning sons (5 months and 23 months, but what excellent good taste!)
It's the one with George Clooney, but funnily enough he didn't seem to come with it

Elegran and nanachrissy - thinking of you both this week as you're getting to grips with the aftermath of recent bereavements. nanachrissy; will continue to hope for a breakthrough with your daughter at this sad time.

I've just qualified for an increase of 25p in my pension I am so over the moon. I dont know if I should save it to buy a new toy like Jeni's , it sounds so wonderful just what I need. If if saved it for a year I would have £13, ten year's £130 whoopi. how long would I have to save it to to get the coffee machine tho? I want it now, cos looking at it practically I dont know if I'll make another ten year's.
Second thought's I could save the 25p for month and buy a lottery ticket and IF I won I could then buy one.
Otherwise has anyone any suggestion's as to what to do with my 25p it really is burning a hole in my pocket. I really need help with this, it's keeping me awake at night.
