Have just read an article about the woman with 8 kids on 26 grand a year she has an AGENT !!!!!! thought you had to do something (like Work) to need an agent or is taking the p out of hardworking people now classed as work.

I go to a small local theatre which is 5 minutes from my house, they have been there since 1943. They put on 10 plays each year always a good variety, for a long time there seemed to be the same people for most performances. Two new housing estates have been built opposite the theatre and there is now a lot bigger audience both young and old. It is called The Little Theatre and was started in 1920s by the sisters of a local family. I still visit the Theatre Royal but at the prices they charge very selective in my visits.

#80 My dear young man Mrs C does what we all do and that is humour you and then go off and do what we intended to do all the time.

870# That's on of the nice things about men, they have absolutely no idea that the female of the species is always in control. I shall now wait for the "flack" LOL

Did your rubber liberty bodice buttons ever get caught in the mangle.

#5. Loppy son tried your suggestion and has found it to be the best one for him, says thanks saved him a lot of work. I found a photo of my grandparents wedding took it to Jessops thought to fragile for home printing, it cost £20 and worth every penny lovely to see them both so young. Thanks all of you for your help. Gem

Thanks everyone for your best wishes to my daughter. I agree that sometimes medical staff forgot that we know how we feel not them, can't stand arrogance in any walk of like. My daughter was an active sportswoman when younger that caused the problem with her leg.

Thank you nonna i will pass on your best wishes. She has been coping well, when she feels ready she will consider a prosthetic, her two girls keep her spirits up some of the things they say have her crying with laughter. When using wheelchair youngest calls here comes Ironside, take more than uppity doctor to keep her down.

Thank you Jill, i needed to vent and felt family didnt need to listen. I will contact the NHS complain in strongest terms them tell them to stick their socks were the sun don't shine already ordered them.

This is not my pain but my daughters, a childs pain is a mothers. Her leg was amputated above the knee last December 21st due to a long time knee problem, We were at the limb center today and they told her that as she didn't want a prosthetic fitted she was not entitled to any further help, nor is she entitled to a compression sock which is needed to shrink her limb. I made my feeling clear that it is her choice at this time not to have a prosthetic maybe at a later date, fine they said come back then and she will get help. NHS only there if you do what they want, how I kept opinions to m

Good news Commo, now recharge your batteries for better times ahead.

Yes my mum, but only when wearing posh hat if she starts to carry it in her bag I will be worried.

Thank you very much for your suggestions and offers of help. Will plough thought them and let you know how it goes, my personal computer expert " son says he is " will understand your information lot better than me. Gem

Jill you are easily recognisable, a sign of good genes. Your school uniform shirt much nicer than mine, button up to the neck, tie had to have right size knot or detention. I also notice you were allowed a choice of footwear, same shoes in winter same sandals in summer. Look at students of today a different world.

Found a box of old photos but quite a lot have been damaged by damp. Is there anyway way that i can improve them myself or will i have to use a specialist. When i say old some of my mum as a baby 1917.

#27 Regarding my post forgot to mention my masters was obtained at Nottingham University. Possibly on the downside met hubby.

#27 when I left school to go onto university one of my teachers said that I would not progress as a teacher. never said why but it was said with assurance. Six years later she was introduced to the new history teacher ME. the expression on her face was priceless. There were other teachers still there from when I was a pupil they all said it was their teaching that made me a good teacher.

#220 Swap the doublet for a liberty bodice and no one would know the difference.

#208 Gay Lord Robert Earl of Leicester - reportedly lover of Elizabeth 1 not much gay about him.

No Chulla definitely a hint of Kate Bush.

Jill, slightly off topic but I was reading an article about West Bridgeford Community College. The girls are having their skirts measured by kneeling on a chair !! Bet they are not wearing flannel knickers.

Visits to my grandparents always meant fresh baked cakes and scones for tea, if we happened to go at dinner time there would be homemade pie or full dinner with Yorkshire puddings usually the size of a tea plate. My grandfathers family were mainly miners very down to earth being an only child sometimes felt very overwhelmed at the amount of relatives i had. Never met my grandmothers family as they said she married beneath her, she was expected to marry a man in "business" same as her father. My great great grandmother was born in 1870 and died when i was 3, i have a photo of myself sitti

I make them in three colours complete with suspenders, unfortunately you have to be 6/7 inched tall to wear them.

However you spell it, remember Acid Drop Spangles very yummy.

My job was to wrap the paper round the rollers and the lotion smelt terrible.
