its my barrie's 2nd aniversary tomorrow and things are getting on top of me a bit. a mate of his came into the shop yesterday, when i asked him if they were going to continue barrie's memorial darts match this year, he just nodded, niether of us could speak to each other !!

now i'll tell you something strange that happened last night.......

i was sitting watching telly, fairly late, when wallace shot off the bed and stood staring at the ceiling, above the door, frantically wagging his tail. he kept this up for about 2/3 minits. its not the first time he's done it and my boss's daughter has seen him do it too.


I had a dog that used to do that Helen, it was always the same spot too, spooky Take care:-4

Heres something for you all:-4

I used to love these:D:wah::wah:

afternoon all,#

got to work tonite but got tomorrow off, so im going to the hair dressers to see about getting my hair all cut off ( if shes brave enough to tackle it ) it will cost me less than half of what i paid last time so it prooves that some of these ruddy salons charge far more than they need to

all i do is wear it scraped back in a pony tail.

can anyone tell me where all that grey has come from :-3

Ohhh ye:rolleyes: well i got a bit of a bad shoulder too, so thats my excuse and im sticking to it;)

HI PC:D

Hehehe fair enough! :p



You are right though, sure is pretty cold today. First time the sun has been out for a long while, but it's still mighty chilly. You really can tell we are heading into Winter, I mean it now gets dark at night by just after 6pm, which always confuses me as it feels like it is later in the day than that!

Yea know hat you mean,,, if only winter had went away during summer it wouldnt be as bad:rolleyes::wah:

Hehehe quite true!



Another sure sign of times changing is just by looking into the windows of so many high street shops. All you can see are Christmas and Halloween related things, and heck I think I even heard a rumour that they were getting ready to set up our cities Xmas decorations soon!!



Now I love Christmas, but even that is a little on the silly side!

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!:wah::wah:

I have finished the bathroom:guitarist



Now wheres me medal?:D:wah:

Rainy Day Riddle

How many raindrops up in the sky

Does it take to say that it's raining?

Can it be just one? Or must there be more,

And by knowing, just what are we gaining?

The answer to this you will soon know,

And I hope that it gets you to thinking,

Cuz thinking will help your brain to grow,

And if it's not growing, it's shrinking.

If the droplets are far too many to count,

You can say that it's raining a lot,

But if you count one drop all alone,

Then it's raining in just that one spot!

Now picture a downpour so severe,

That there are countless drops to be seen

Did you know it's really not raining at all,

In all the dry spaces in between?

So here is a rainy day trick for you

To help you find all the dry places,

Look up at all the drops as they fall

And try walking in just those spaces!

Now if you were to say that this was "clever" or "cute"

Yet you feel it has no real meaning for you,

Then I'd say it's a way of looking at things

That can help you the whole day through.

For when your days are drizzling the doldrums

And seem dark and dreary from showers of strife,

When you just can't find your way out of the storm

You gotta dance between the raindrops through life

Hi Everyone and hope your all ok and if you aint..........................oh well thats life lol.Ive been working today and I tell you those tight gits are getting bleedin tighter grrrrrrrrrr.Oh boy its cold also and I even put on a winter coat today and yet yesterday I was dressed for summer lol.Kaz lovely poem matey and hope to chat soon.Hope our Gill is ok and Helen hows yer hair lol.Joan hope Tony is not to bad................PC and Chris good to see you.Yes Kay life is to short and as you get older it gets even bleedin shorter :wah:Ere watch that Jim............he do nuf slag us off on his thread:-5 but me being a big softee still likes the toerag;) But dont you dare tell him!!!!Better go now so be good and if not ffs be careful........mind you at my age the cage is open but the animal is asleep :wah:xxx

Oh deep joy ! My husband and son went out this evening to play some snooker. We are all trying to come to terms with the fact that my husband's sister is dying of cancer, a tumour on her spine. A little bit of light relief to take their minds off things for a couple of hours.

Just before 8 pm a gang of about 8 youths decided to roll my biker son's Reliant Rialto (three wheeler car). It smashed down onto the road, breaking the driver's side window, smashing off the wing mirror, ramming the door handle into the door and scratching all the side of the car. It's a possiblility that the engine mountings could be damaged, and other things like the battery etc.

All I can say is that perhaps it is a good job my son was out at the time. That little car is a 'fun' car, and his pride and joy.

I called the police straight away, they came quite quickly. I had also called my husband, and they returned from snooker. SOCO will be coming tomorrow, to fingerprint the car.

To say I'm pissed off just doesn't describe how I feel. My son fortunately has taken it better than I had hoped. My husband is furious.

Of all of us I think I have taken it the worst. Probably because it was an attack on my son's pride and joy, therefore very personal to me, and because I actually witnessed it.

Those ferral youths all ran off as soon as they had done the deed - odd that they righted the vehicle again ! I saw this all happening on the CCTV monitor and it was done and dusted in moments. Now I had strict orders to never go out after dark, if I'm in the house by myself, even with our alsatian dog, should anything happen out there, so I didn't, well not straight away - at least 60 seconds !

I tell you, it's a good job for them that they legged it, because our dog is fast and he breaks bones with his teeth, and I would have had no conscience about letting him off the lead at them.

We just didn't need this incident at this time.

By the way, we live in a well respected residential area. It just says something about the degradation of the young - who are allowed to run wild everywhere.

Thanks Jim, bless you. I'm still shaking about it - not sure whether it's shock or fury! Probably both ! :-5 :-4

Sorry to hear that, that is terrible.

I think i would have let my dog get at them too if that happened to me.

I am sorry to hear that Gill, sending love to you and your family :-4

Thanks Kinks :-4

Thanks Suzy :-4

Bless you both.

Gill I have just seen what has happened.You have been through so much lately and my heart goes out to you that you should have to encounter this now also.Sometimes we cant understand why everything seems to happen to us......guess its one of those bloody lessons in life and we have to learn by it.Gill you are better than those pratts that did this and somewhere along the line they will get their just desserts just like you will get yours my dear friend and knowing you as I do yours will be so sweet that it will bring the biggest smile your face has had in a long while ...and them......oh boy Im not even going there lol.Love you Mrsxxxx

When you have to put up with mean,

hateful and moody people,

think of them as sandpaper...

They may scratch you and rub you the wrong way

but eventually you end up smooth & polished .

and the sandpaper folk.

they end up worn out & ugly

I like that Carolly, you do come out with some good little quotes :-6

None of us know what our fate holds.....happiness.....joy......tears.....heartache and so much more.If we knew we wouldn't want to stay in this place .....but all we can do is hope that our rainbow will not be to hard to find and one day we will enjoy the bright colours and that magic land known as happiness will be ours forever..........

gill,

what a bunch of morons !! makes you wonder about the mentality of some people dont it ?? you should have let rex loose, no doubt he would have liked a snack before bed time !! however, in this day and age of " political correctness " no doubt you would have been the one in trouble for trying to defend your property :-5

have pm'd you by the way, nothing important.......

hello to everyone else here too, not going to mention names cos im sure to leave someone out:o

hope you've all had a good day, its been bright here but pretty chilly.

i think i might have mentioned that my friends who were here last week lost their old dog. well, the day before yesterday they went out and got an 8wk old collie puppy. the poor little soul collapsed and died this afternoon, they are waiting for a report from the vet to find out what happened,

Ahhhhhh GIll:-4

The dirty little skites and buggers. They are gurriers for sure (sorry about spelling...I know these are Irish words but don't know how to spell them:wah:)

I'm so sorry that this has happened to you and family. I am also so sorry about your sis-in-law. Life deals us so many blows that I'm surprised that we all survive.

I'm keepin my eye on you girl. You better not go out running after them if something else happens. Call Wonder Wendy and she'll do the dirty deed.

You take care Luv and I know your dog will be alert for danger.

Joan I put this on yesterday and feel upset of what you have just written.Yes I agree that sometimes we feel we are being ignored but I know that deep down ..........on this thread at least.......... this is not the case. We love your poems and will tell you this ..... we all love your posts and knowing your situation at home and what you have to encounter with your dear husband ALL of us that really know you not only care about you but our thoughts and love are there with you.We can all be thoughtless at times Joan and I have seen the ignoring of posts on this forum and have also encountedf it and trust me on this thread NOBODY gets ignored, whether it be a new friend on here or an old one and because SOMETIMES we dont mention that person in name because of reasons it does not mean that they are not in our thoughts and indeed our hearts.Joan you have to do what you feel is right for you of course but if you decide to leave (which I sincerely hope you dont) you must remember that on this thread you have brought so much happiness with your lovely posts and we all hold so much respect for you not only as a lady who sends out so much love and care but someone who I regard as a friend and one that I am proud to call that.
