:Hi: :Hi: :Hi:

^ That should be self-explanatory :D
John said this morning, again, about how difficult she is. He said she's always looking for something to criticise or be p'd off about.

Joe came home after really enjoying his lesson. He'd been driving around the town centre which he hadn't done before. The test centre has moved to there though. When Tom took his test it was in the middle of nowhere, near Wolverhampton, so the roads were quite rural but now it's based at the fire station in Cannock and is on a very busy road.

Jan, a friend told me I'd need tissues while watching George. Still can't believe he's gone :( John takes it out of me because his kind of music doesn't fit with what I usually listen to but I loved him, I saw him live three times and was speechless after the first time. I never expected him to be that good but he far exceeded all expectations - that voice! I hope that if there's something after this life then his Anselmo was there waiting for him, along with his mom :(

You will need tissues Jo - it's so very poignant and very very moving. I wasn't aware of a lot of the things they showed, makes perfect sense when you do know. He has the best voice ever, and is so flippin gorgeous! (I typed that in the present tense, as lilke you I can't believe he isn't around any more, what a waste)

I was a bit surprised they didn't mention Kenny as they were together a long time, but it seems George was the main producer so he'll have put in what he wanted to include. The Older album is one of my all time faves, and again all of it makes sense.




Cloudy and damp today. I thought I had a task and a half collecting some cat pee for the vet to test tomorrow - but no! Emptied the litter tray of litter, and off Charlie went for a wee - et voila! Poured the wee into a container and we're good to go! He's also very good with taking the Metacam, so hopefully we'll get a clean bill of health!

Working solo today...Anne our optician is away (something work related) so we have no clinic so I'm in charge! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Hope you all have good days xxx

Afternoon all :D

Wet and miserable here.

What a fantastic day Osc, sounds wonderful. Enjoy Boston, we loved it.

Not long back from Canterbury, rang the British Red Cross as soon as they opened at 10am and was told a chair was available, but unless I was able to wait for a week or two, I'd need to drive there and pick it up. Meant a dash without stopping for brekkie as they close at 12noon. We're both cream crackered now and don't fancy going back out in the rain so won't actually put it to use until tomorrow. Feeling a lot better knowing we have it though.

Have a good day :D

Glad you have a chair now Jen, much easier for you xx

Change of plan here - got to the clinic just before 1.00 and there were about 20 people in front of me :shock: :shock: and you couldn't register for the doc until 2.00 and having experienced that sort of thing before, knew it would be mayhem, so I'm going back to plan a and going in later. Hopefully, I'll see him then, if not, it's plan c, which is go and see Dr Garcia.

Coincidentally, Emma pinged me to ask if I fancied going to Tewkesbury on Saturday night, to see a George Michael tribute act! She's going to try to get us tickets! 8-) :D

Jen, that's good! xxxx

Well we were hours hanging around Cheltenham General, and what a horrid hospital it is! The waiting room was tiny, crowded and cold, and the one loo, which did for both males and females, had no soap, an overflowing bin, and a none too clean toilet bowl :? Give me Gloucester Royal any day!

Still, the good news is that D is eligible to get her cataracts done, and as she's decided to go private it won't be done there, but at the nice Nuffield instead. November 16th 8-)

Good news Kaz.

Well. Boiler serviced and the man has been paid. Also took our old oven to the tip, got a new one from Currys and the gas man fitted it for me!
My poor sister in law had her new suite delivered - only for the delivery men to tell her they couldn't get it through the door! It's a standard size door. Either the sette goes through the door or it can be dismantled to get it through the door. If not the store is selling furniture that you can't get through the door! Now she has to chase things up through their "help" line.

I might have a glass of red shortly. Straight glass or one with a handle...? :D

Get the power saw out make the door an archway or the settie smaller
You don't think when you buy things about delivery and stuff you deserve a large glass of red and a holiday I think



Kaz sounds like Scarborough hospital to me glad D can go private if it suits her
