Looks like I've missed Karen now,
just wanted to say to all of the ‘gang’ who’s going away
HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY AND A HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL.
(I think the whole street heard that !) see you all when you get back, I'm going to miss you.
Marie, just grin and bear it when your Dad says something you don’t like, he don’t mean it, just have a good time.
Hi Marie
How have you been today, busy I suspect? What you and Louise were saying about your brothers and their second marriages, I wish my brother had married again !! he got married when he was 21 and my sister in law was 18. They went through so many bad patches and he always said when the girls grew up he would leave her. Its only because my Mum and Dad practically kept them financially that they kept their heads above water. They’ve been married now since 1975 !!!! And I still don’t like her, and she doesn’t like me. They get on better now than they ever did. She's not a nice person, she never once visited my Dad when he was dieing in hospital. This really hurt my Mum. she was never particularly bothered about my Mums situation either, not a nice person. Marie, I wish my brother had got himself 2 goldfish instead, now he keeps koi carp, perhaps it’s a substitute for her??? My husband has nicknamed her ‘satans sister’, so we call her SS for short. I could tell you things about what she's done since mums been gone all night, but I’ll save that for another time, don’t want to spoil anyones holiday.
Hi Louise
How are you? The meal was not to its usual standard, I think they must have a new chef. We wont be going there again for a while. I had salmon, which was very nice but you used to get vegetables with it, now you just get a bit of limp lettuce. My husband had duck which is new on the menu, but it was supposed to come with orange sauce, salad and water cress. It came with an orange cut in half, limp lettuce and that was it !!! we were not impressed, so came home early to have cheese and biscuits here. (which I haven’t done yet).
You actually got to NEXT at last, well done. That’s the trouble with most trousers these days, they're made to fit 6ft tall women. When I bought my suit last august I had to go and buy some high heeled shoes as well, which is ok but come summer I will want to be wearing flat sandles, so will probably either have to turn the trousers up or save them till next winter !!! Why is life so hard for women, men don’t have this problem do they??
