lol at the last entry, go take a look see if you do too (that's to make it a question!)

yep got ot sorted, but am gutted about the way my daughter has treated her boyfriend, just gone off and abandoned him, and they were supposed to be here for lunch and dinner and we were taking him to airport, but now he's sitting on his own in the hotel, had to check out of room and she's off with her friends. It's absolutely pouring down so he can't go anywhere. I've been crying, how could anyone be so bad?

Evening folks ...That's a good idea Kit Vinny can shear the sheep and then we can spin it and knit pink Wooly Hats .Very fetching ...Hmm.
Been a really grot day here .Blowing a gale and chilly .I had to go and find up my Biddy slippers .
Don't upset yourself Neti . Poor lad .I don't think your daughter perhaps meant to do that to him .They get carried along by stuff these days,young people .They don't seem to stop and think .
I remember as a girl wanting to pack this boy in and was going to write him a letter and my Mum was furious ! She made me go and face him out and tell him :) She was right too ..you can't just dump people willy nilly .It's unfair and hurts feelings .Taught me a lesson too !

morning all - feeling a bit better now. We phoned him at the hotel asked if we could take him for dinner and then to the airport as prearranged but he said he had a friend helping him. He was nice! and yes shaney she did mean to do it as she was fed up with him, I told her to be nice until he left, it was only for a day. I mustn't interfere so much. Dreadful rain yesterday and nice and cool today, maybe more rain. Most of the mainland and Mallorca are flooded!

no point in daughters sticking with boys they don't like but those with manners do their dumping politely and face to face. Don't they even do it by text message any more? Tsk, blame the parents.

gosh, look who's on the site, Jude...

I agree jno but think I've only discovered this niceness in me as I've grown older! He knew he was being dumped but keep whinging that he loved her and so on and it drove her mad (as it would have me) but that's not the point. She should have behaved better!!

[netibiza]

You see, now ole Teabag is stalking our jude!!! What is it with these men :-)

[VINNY100_2]

Yeah,netti's much more polite than she was last year..hehe..! looks like were in for a scorcher this weekend..
Teabags a wandering jude,you better keep an eye on him,if he goes in CB he will never be the old teabag you once new.! I sent my son that waterfall jno posted and he loves it.Why cant we have one has a wallpaper on suggs,it would chill everybody out,erm..nope, make that CB.I got some eggs from a local farm, a squid (�1)for ten and there's a blue one in there and he's nearly boiled ,catch you later.....unless the egg does me in (:O)

[Robinia]

good morning people...here I is, I've just caught up with all your posts, you're all so lovely, thank you for thinking of me - &, as always, I loved the Zombies Vin I never tire of it (or the Simon's cat vids).
Stunning photos from you & jno too, I've studied the bazaar for ages, I can't think why ;o)

What a roller coaster this is...my brother deteriorated again & it was touch & go but he's improving now (we're tough old buffers, the Stiki clan). It's just a case of one day at a time & it's very stressful. Makes you feel helpless & hopeless but I think I've got my head around it all at last. He was much calmer & spent our visit last night asleep - I have that effect on most men :o) - but that's much better than seeing him struggling.

Sorry to see you've been poorly Kit, hobe your feelid better dow and that you made it to tai chi....at least you've got those big flappy sleeves to wipe your nose on....or better still someone else's :o)

I'm wonderin' what was so important that naughtineti just had to wipe her history? oh yes sirree, I'd want that zapped
Don't feel bad about your daughter, believe it or not <ahem> I've been mean to men in my time - as they have to me. I remember telling my mum to get rid of someone who came to pick me up & she was most upset 'cos she thought he was a nice lad. Now most lads tried it on but if I'd told her how worryingly pushy he was she'd have gone out with a knife, chopped it off, stuffed it up his exhaust pipe & revved up the engine!!!


Vin if your daughter's got a cast off carpenter - age immaterial - send him oop north please.

Hi All T'bag can't even work his mobile and I think his computer skills are worse than mine so I doubt he'd been on Answer Bank. Anyway the name T'bag is a Biddie's secret. innit !! He knows about us but not that I talk about him or what his nickname is :o)

I don't have any daughters Neti but Iwould feel the same as you. I do have 2 quite emotional sons. One of them went through an older women'thing' and he got upset when she finished with him and the other son actually married an older woman who gave me 2 grand children. Kids eh! You worry about them all your life don't you?

[Jude123]

Hi Robi Good to see you back. Hope you can keep your spirits up for your brother. I t must be a very emotional time for you. I was talking about you the other day. When I was in Scarborough on Monday my sister and I were walking round Peasholm park and she pointed out a Robinia Tree and I thought of you and told my sister that is was your name on the Biddies.

[shaneystar2]

Yoohoo folks
Glad you feel better today Neti .It'll all come out in the wash lass .
Children are more worry at times when they get older than they ever were when they were little .

Nice to see you Robinia and glad to hear that your brother is holding his own .Make sure you look after yourself too.xxxx

My brother,on the other hand , is an old bear with a sore head ! Since he had that knee done he's been an old misery .I know he had that setback but that's all cleared up now but he is very down in the dumps that he can't get going .
If he can't get in his car and roam around or clamber about brandishing a paint roller he's not a happy bunny .
We keep buttering him up but it's having no effect :)
Well I hope Vinny's weather forecast for the weekend is correct or I shall sue .....it's as dull as ditchwater here today and piddling down (:

[jno]

sunny intervals is my weekend weather forecast (from the beeb, I mean, not from me), so I don't see myself getting scorched a whole lot... Glad your brother's fighting on, Robinia, I know it can be hard going. I have insulated myself from such worries by being several thousand miles from my family. On the other hand it does get a bit lonely at times (especially when I wanted babysitters).

[woofgang]

Good day all. Vinny, thank you for the cherry pink link...that's one of my favourite tunes to whistle too...very Eddie Calvert like even tho I know its not.

Things are a bit less fraught here atm...DH is sleeping better, Mum is back in hospital with her heart (well she couldn't go without it IYKWIM) so we are no longer waiting for the other shoe to drop and hopefully they can make her more comfortable. My sterling older sister is dealing as my knee wouldn't stand the journey. Both my sisters think the knee is a hoot as I have been advised to try a walking stick (to alleviate the age related changes to my cartilege :( and I am the youngest of the three...huh wait till its their turn and they expect sympathy.

Glad to hear that your bro is a bit on the mend Robi, sitting around screwed up tight waiting for bad news is no fun.

Kit, clear chicken soup with a little grated fresh or chopped preserved ginger in it taken hot is excellent stuff for clearing out the tubes. By clear I mean not creamed, you can add rice, noodles and bits of chicken and/or veg. If you are vegetarian then do clear veg soup and add the ginger. I am a great fan of ginger, also nutmeg which taken in excess can be hallucinogenic as well as euphoric (don't try this at home kiddies)

Neti, your daughter's timing is a bit off isn't it? and what a shame that you and Mr N ended up in the middle of it...I do think that we get kinder with age though...

anyway talking of age, here's a website to take you back in time...http://www.thetoymaker.com/2Toys.html

[netibiza]

thanks all - now I feel very silly banging on about something so silly, when you lot have much more serious concerns. Still that's what we are here for isn't it?

[woofgang]

well its not that silly when you are the one in the middle!

[shaneystar2]

Lol.. Woofie I had all that marlarkey with a walking stick .Mr S bought a very posh collapsible one for me .I don't think it's ever seen the light of day !
I suppose a time will come when I shall have to use the bloomin' thing ,because my knees are knackered but it comes in very useful for getting apples down off the tree,pulling ivy out of hidey holes and opening and shutting the skylight window in the back room :)
Hope your Mum will be Ok ....she's in the best place xx

[netibiza]

Well, beggar me, daughter and "boyfriend" are chatting away on msn like nothing's happened, and he still thinks they are dating and she said to me that she may well see him- again I GIVE UP!!!!!
