1:46 am

sprite

hi sweetie, a good evening to you and *hugs*

1:47 am

sprite

the final session went very well, and we did indeed get our contracts. We also got a personal certificate each, with a personal message from our trainers. Mine was very complimentary. Feels good.

1:47 am

grannyrose

all the pressies wrapped and ready to go. pudding cooked. just the supermarket stuff and we are done.

1:48 am

sprite

wow good job

1:48 am

sprite

darling, thank you so much for the lovely calendar. We enjoyed last year's so much, with the aboriginal's stories. We used it as our family calendar, so it got quite a workout.

1:49 am

grannyrose

oh my sprite. i am so proud of you and all you have achieved. i think all you are planning sounds fantastic. i think you will be a terrific manicurist.

1:49 am

grannyrose

can you scan/photo the cerificate to show me, please?

1:51 am

sprite

even better, rose, I will just be a nail artist.Looks like I am finally getting my life back on track, doesn't it :) I planned my first sessions alone in the roster yesterday. Volunteered to do the early morning shift on Jan 1st. Most people will want to sleep in, so that would be a tough time to fill.

1:51 am

sprite

of course, I will. Hold on, I have it right here.

1:51 am

grannyrose

and yay me...got the mail off in enough time. it's so lovely to hear you have received it. groovy phoned me and she was in tears. the one i sent her had pics of the places don and i showed her when she was here

1:53 am

sprite

you did, good job! :)
Aw, sweet Kiwi. It is so special. Babble people are a good bunch.

1:57 am

grannyrose

groovy is ultra-special to us. she is such a sweetheart and generous to a fault. also my card etc was the first she had received this year. i can't understand why people don't warm to her. i could just hug and hug her. mind you, i could die happily in your arms honey.

1:58 am

grannyrose

btw, i have worked out how we can fly over without too much discomfort. of course i need the disabled seats for myself and my carer (don) which would allow us both to stretch out .

2:00 am

grannyrose

all i have to do is book the seats whenever we decide to come over. and ditto going up to see liz and her other half. so simple.

2:01 am

sprite

awesome! That is so good. Yes, I love Kiwi too. Always have. She is lovely and funny and warm. We always used to sing together in babble, did you know?

2:02 am

grannyrose

no i didn't. how funny!!

2:03 am

grannyrose

how did you do it?

2:04 am

sprite

one of us would start a song in chat, and the other would join in

2:04 am

sprite

ask Kiwi, she will remember :)

2:04 am

grannyrose

2:28 am

grannyrose

please to accompany scan with translation... loll i told you my dutch is pitiful... lolll

2:28 am

hehehe well won't translate everything, that would take too much time. just the highlights, I can manage.

2:32 am

grannyrose

what is on for you today sweetie?

2:35 am

sprite

email sent, rose

2:36 am

sprite

just some domestic stuff for me today. Perhaps a trip to the stores, peeling potatoes, preparing the greens. I plan on sitting down with my crocheting and binge-watch some series.

2:36 am

grannyrose

ooh... i have it...maybe i'll print it off... just for me...

2:37 am

sprite

*giggles* Silly rose! But you are wonderful. Thanks for caring.

2:38 am

grannyrose

how can i not care?? you are my soul sister.. xoxox

2:38 am

sprite

true, dat. Still, you are much much appreciated.

2:38 am

grannyrose

nice to know and feel. luv ya heaps.

2:39 am

sprite

wish my Xmas gift had been sent earlier. Can't hurry the mailman though. Pity.

2:40 am

grannyrose

awww sprite. anything that extends christmas is welcome. i so love this season..

2:41 am

sprite

just the other day I told Rob I needed new glasses, because I cannot read or craft anymore with my glasses on. Imagine crocheting, looking at the work, then putting on glasses, watching TV, looking back at crocheting, glasses off...

2:42 am

sprite

then, what happens? Rob damages his own glasses and needs to replace them with new ones, sigh. At least 300 euro damage. No new glasses for me, for some time.

2:43 am

grannyrose

my darling... too heart-breaking. you poor people...

2:44 am

sprite

men, lol... always breaking something or other!

2:48 am

sprite

some day, we will get a break and some distant great-great-great-uncle will leave us a small fortune. I have faith that will happen some day ;)

2:50 am

grannyrose

you poor sweetie. i know exactly how you feel. when the mother passed on, her estate gave me so much freedom... as you know.

2:50 am

sprite

yeah I know and I am so happy for you. You know how it is to struggle all the time. You really deserved a break.

It was one of my Art Deco (or maybe Nouveau) treasures, bought at an antique shop 30 or so years ago

4:14 am

grannyrose

my dearest.... that is too much... you are so generous.

4:16 am

mattygroves

Is it me or is it a tough grid today? I have nothing bigger than a six and am just over halfway

4:17 am

rubyfoo

no no, I have gotten to the stage where I would rather give away something that I own and love, rather than something that I buy

4:18 am

Good morning all.

is there a clue for cr9 please?

5:24 am

medusa

Hi sukee. How are you today?

5:24 am

sukee

I'm great, how are you?

5:25 am

sukee

Our temperature is going up to 13 today and tomorrow.

5:26 am

medusa

I am good. Got the hardest bit of sorting to do today. Got a double mattress to get down the stairs and outside! Will be better when I done that. lol

5:26 am

medusa

Nice and warm then.

5:26 am

sukee

Good luck, I can't even flip my mattress.

5:26 am

medusa

I struggled so I got a no flip mattress.

5:26 am

medusa

Will be fun! lol

5:27 am

sukee

Do you have to do it alone?

5:29 am

medusa

I do. I am very independent and love the challenge. Getting it downstairs will be the hardesty bit. #Once that is done then I just got the bits of the bed base to go out and the rest is small bits and sorting. Getting there slowly though. Again waiting for the landlord to bugger off out. lol

5:30 am

sukee

I'm lucky, the supers here will take stuff down for me, they even got rid of my old TV.

5:30 am

sukee

I guess you can just slide it down the stairs :)

5:30 am

medusa

I don't suppose you have the cr9 do you?

5:30 am

sukee

not yet

5:31 am

medusa

Yes. Then there are the corners! Am wondering if a sharp knife and cutting it in to a few bits might be a good idea. lol

5:31 am

sukee

Looking forward to watching Doctor Who on Friday :)

5:31 am

lbdawger

gm, everyone! cr9 I think it means to be ruffled like material or leaves.

5:32 am

that's good, lottery winners usually go bankrupt later

5:36 am

medusa

Good for them. I would!

5:37 am

sukee

If they are not careful. I would put it in the bank and just get the interest.

5:37 am

hurshy

of course that's assuming they get their winnings

5:37 am

sukee

They will :)

5:37 am

hurshy

michigan, i think, hasn't been paying out winnings lately due to financial probs

5:38 am

medusa

Exactly what I would do sukee! You would get more than enough from that to live on just on 1 million!

5:38 am

sukee

Well, this is Canada :) We are good.

5:38 am

sukee

I could live on 1 million for the rest of my life. Heck, I could get by with 500,000.

5:38 am

hurshy

but this couple i saw who'd won, and received nothing so far, not only is the state still running the lottery even tho they can't pay winners - THOSE PEOPLE are STILL PLAYING!

5:38 am

sukee

Nuts.

5:39 am

sukee

It sounds like a scam, should be illegal.

5:39 am

5:43 am

medusa

hi, all. I have come through a diffficult time once again, and I am okay. I am going to start preparations for Christmas dinner today; my parents will share our meal tomorrow afternoon. My mother called late last week to ask, "what are we doing for Christmas?", so I invited them over, since she does not like to cook very much. It's so odd; she's one of the people who taught me to cook, and I love it.

6:50 am

medusa

Hi angel. pleased you are ok. Will be nice to have everyone together for Christmas dinner.

6:51 am

medusa
