:^O @ Merlins post, glad to hear kitty is still being entertained 😄

Happy Birthday to master merlin for tomorrow, as I may not be around ...... I hope he has a lovely day :-x

I've just got back from the hospital, Uni Son is having an Op on his shoulder today ............ I had to get him there for 7.30 am 😮
I am so NOT a morning person! :_|

[cat-knitter]

[hiddengems2010]

Good afternoon 😄

Quite cool here today but the sun is shining 🙂

Pmsl @ merlins post :^O & happy birthay Merlins Son 😄

Maggie hope you have a nice time with your family 😄

Ck whats he done ?:|   Big ((((( CK's Boy ))))) Hope he has a quick recovery :-x

[cat-knitter]

He's not done anything :^O

He's having screws etc removed from previous surgery as there causing a lot of pain & he has to have some bone shaved off 😞

Apparently his shoulder joint was divided 😐 ... he always used to complain it hurt at secondary school ............. I just used to tell him it was because he carried way too much stuff in his school bag 😞

before you tell me how cruel I was, he did see a Doc at the time & the poor lad had 2 years of physio for nothing 😐

[cat-knitter]

Taps fingers & pace's the floor ............ just rang hospital, he's still in surgery 😐
it was supposed to be this morning .......... he'll  be starving when he come's round :^O 

[**towery**]

hope he's not long before he is out CK

i called in the cornershop this morning and was surprised to she his wife in instead of him,  shesiad he'd taken their eldest - a lad of 6 to the hospital - he was having his tonsils out , she kept herself busy so as to stop worrying

[hiddengems2010]

Aww bless the poor lad, have you heard anything yet CK ?:|

[**towery**]

has mrs ratbag popped in?

just wanted to give her another (((ratty)))


Merlin i wonder if the cat left the mouse in hope of your mum being followed - minx that she is
you know they plot out downfall ]:)

[hiddengems2010]

I've not seen her towery, but i havn't been in much myself the past few days 🙂

[****merlin*****]

havent seen MrsR around
she has another friend in hospital too though doesnt she?

Bradley has asked me to make him a cake:|
why couldnt he ask something simple like "where do babies come from?"

ugh i hate baking and i am rubbish at it:_|

[chickengrandma-2008]

Is Bradley your son who's 16 tomorrow? Naughty merlin, you really should have told him by now!!:O

[****merlin*****]

it is chickengrandma

he knows i am
thats why he asked me to make it
as practise

he on the other hand, is a VERY talented baker

millies cookies, hobnobs, carrot cake and lemon meringue pie are my limits

sponge, no

[chickengrandma-2008]

why couldnt he ask something simple like "where do babies come from?"

That's the bit I was referring to merlin, 16 is leaving it a bit late!;-)

It's easier to make a sponge than all those things merlin, just the same weight of eggs, SR flour, margarine and sugar, and a bit of baking powder. Whisk it all well and you can't go wrong!:-D

[borzoi369]

What a corker Mags, lovely pics 🙂

Not seen Mrs R either 😞

[****merlin*****]

😐

there are several things that most people do with ease that i just cannot master
whistling, swimming, and baking spongecakes are the 1st 3 that come to mind!

*note, 1st, not all*:^O

[**towery**]

morning

Happy birthday to Bradley

[****merlin*****]

awww thank you towery
i shall show him when he comes home
although he is 16 he will be chuffed to bits!

he is so excited to be 16
he is away with his birth certificate
he wants to buy a lottery ticket on his way home
he is a big lad, and wears the senior uniform, but doesnt go to school locally, so they may not know, and he has a baby face, so i dont know if they will sell it to him

he was reading all the things you can do at 16
he decided joining the army or getting married wasnt for him, so plumped for buying a lottery ticket:^O

[*hippyfairy*]

Morning

Happy Birthday Bradley - wouldn't it be great to win the jackpot with your first ever ticket!!

Merlin - can't you just bake a pile of cookies - stack them up and put candles on them??

1/2 term here so not much creative stuff happening - still 2 dolls that aren't finished and I want to start the next 3!!
