Hi! PM, Next time Im on Kazza I will have a look for it

Thats what Ive been doing really, putting all my collection onto CD who knows maybe our next car will have a CD player in it

Mk2 recently bought on of those Portable DVD players with her bingo winnings! Its a great wee thing, and what a clear sound & picture you get!! Its just amazing what all this modern Techy stuff can do Eh!

A far cry from our old days with the vynil and 8 track players
Smudger,

hi smudger...

i was in asda the other day and bumped into my aunt, which suprised me as she doesn't like going out these days... (sound familiar.. lol.)
she wasn't alone tho', with her daughter, my cousin... we got talking about school kids and computers as my little un was with us... then we went back to how we used to have the old black n white tellys with the old dial knob, trying to tune the channel in.. (yeah, all two of 'em... lol)
yeah, technology eh...

Hi PM, Yep I remember them old tellies I dont mind going out to ASDAs if its during the week, as its a bit quieter then

Mk2 gets on of their scooters, and I get a chance to look around the Techie bits
Its a big store we have here, and they sell everything! In fact thats where Mk2 is right now with one of her sisters, leaving me in peace on my PC

I see them old style radios are back in fashion? they are making reproductions of them, the Phillips one with the large dial
Smudger,

evening smudger.. yeah, i've seen them old type radios around..
our local asda is fairly big and sells lots of stuff.. they're open 24 hours.. well from 8 mon. morn to 10pm sat.. then a 10-4 on sun...
there's a big hypermarket one on the way to my daughters but we've not been in there yet...

Ah! Supermarkets and Hypermarkets
do you remember the old Grocers shop, where they had a chair for you to sit in while he sliced your bacon and ground your coffee beans?

and all the women went shopping with a straw basket, and the sawdust on the floor of the butchers shop?

Ah! happy days
Smudger,

The little blue bags they put sugar in,the tiangular white bags we had our sweets in,and the loose butter sure everything tasted better then.

Yea! and gob-stoppers were the size of golf balls
and wagon wheels just fitted in your school bag in no more now they get lost in there
Smudger,

Smudger,

oh to be around the 8-9 stone mark again smudger!!!I worry about weighing so much,but i would worry if i lost weight without cutting down on ,and such like!!!!There's no pleasing some people EH!!!
oops.hello everyone,hope you're all keeping well!!!!!!s all round!!

hi thanks it's nice to be back wish i was only 8st too i was 15 but now am 13 being ill i lost 2st hope i can keep it off am not a big eater either live on cuppa soups hi sal family not too bad ralph ok too we both in the dog house with each other we forgot our wedding annversary yesterday 8yrs! we where filling out a form this morning when we put the date in we both realised i tried to get out of it by saying that we must be that comfortable together that days months yrs all melt into one (did'ent work tho ) lol well take care all D xx

Funny you should say that Helena, but we had so much stress in our lives at the time last November, that we Both forgot our wedding anniversary as well!!!
Thats not like us at all, as we have have always made apoint of it in the past
I suppose its bacause we are both 2nd time rounders
Smudger,

We have forgotten ours too!
It was when a lot of unusual things were going on.

It is better to forget than dread it or be worried about making it another year or ten. Least that is how I looked at it!
And better you both forgot so you can laugh (even if it takes a while)rather than one of you crying.

My computer was acting very badly yesterday
The new windows security upgrade is causing most of the hassles I think. The on-off switch burned up earlier and totally shut it down, that was cheap to fix - thank goodness!

Hope you can put on some weight smudger.
I have to work at it also. It is no fun to *force feed* yourself enough to gain. I was taken off the Ultram (I think Tramadol is generic name)because of stomach troubles, not sure if you are still on that. My headaches got much better after stopping it.

How is your Mom Sal?
*waves* to Doris and hope you are doing a bit better.
