Definitely makes a visit to York a must, I had no idea it existed. We visit York twice a year once for the Dolls House Fair the other just to wander, won't mention to hubby why I want to visit or I will end up going by myself. Gem

Just read the article I thought if he had slimmed down he would have had more chance of looking like Beckham, I wear glasses. When reading other items in the paper I came across a house for sale in Edwalton, out of this world when I find an odd million or two I will buy it.

Didn't appeal to everyone, some of the comments have given me more ideas, especially Chullas wimpering dog. My friends say i am downright morbid i also have a victorian Mourning establisment which will soon be joined by an undertakers. Gem

Thank you Chulla, its not to everyone's taste but its part of life, as to your comment about the lillies they were to big to sit on the top of the coffin. My daughter arranged the flowers under protest she also thinks its creepy, my youngest grandaughter says it should be put in the attic or the bin. My family have no taste.

TBI the tree in Newcastle is donated from Bergen the reason being that they are twinned cities, always a lovely tree.

It was a Christmas present, hubby hates it gives him the creeps. It is a room box only not part of a house....I love it

Did they turn the old general into flats and build around it, was Saturday meeting place for hubby and his mates.

I have decided on a hand raised pork pie with mustard and slice of ham on the bone, lots of suggestions to choose from.

We bought my wedding ring from the co-op must have looked in the window for a days because I couldn't make up my mind, think the reason we went to the co-op was it was the only jewellery window lit up at night.

Might be worth a visit to your local walk in center or a chat with your chemist Margie, either way hope you get better soon. Gem

Not quite living on a budget but ......can you tell me what goes into a pork pie breakfast apart from the pie. Don't want to ask hubby or it won't be a surprise.

Compo thank you for looking it up, mentioned it to mum and she also remembered the "saintly cactus" her words not mine.

8 months later he loves himself a real little attention hound, that was the first photo we took of Ben we will take one more to keep when he is ready to go. We take pics over his time with us and send them away, we took one when he went to the cenotaph had hubbys medals and a poppy on his coat we sent that one to our son.

Was a tongue in cheek remark NBL, mum pays a lot for her specs to get comfort calls it money well spent.

They may not be Waddo but they will do exactly the same thing, namely allow me to see better.

Paid £148 for frames and varifocals and got reactolite lens for free, very happy.

Do any of the christmas cacti have the name of a saint, seem to remember a friend of mums calling hers a saint .............

Lovely drawings of both dogs the detail is amazing your son is very talented.

Nothing to do with ankles, just wanted to tell you that thanks to your advice on Bens noise problem he no longer has a problem. Yesterday he was up front with other dogs just sat there when guns were fired, i also put your advice on our website where it has been followed. Gem

Maybe not an actual work if art but a beautiful oil on canvas of my grandaughters Great Dane by very talented artist Dave Moore.

I have heard it and took it to mean smart and well turned out, I had 3 uncles all in the services could it have originated from there ?

Chulla, here I am thinking I have the only person who still has clothes from the sixties, his is are drape jackets and there is no way he goes out in them.

John Collier off Friar Gate was his choice of tailor for his drape suits, also used Lord John and Burtons.

We were in wetherspoons yesterday when they had a visit from "Tim" he wandered around and spoke to a number of drinkers a pleasant man. He came towards us when he saw Ben, asked what kind of service dog he was my friends grandaughter (5) said its on his coat can you see. While telling him she got down on the floor to point it out, my friend went red, he just laughed and said he would know the next time.

Happy birthday Katyjay.
