Morning members, Looking good up here  

Morning all, nice here got to pick Gaz up in a bit

Everyone needs a Gaz. My son in laws got one called Dick, 76 he is or something like that. Does everything for him. Not this week though cos Dick is working, hes a digger driver! All I got is a Patsy............Must keep my eyes peeled for a Gaz.........Not a camping one though. 
Morning all, just on the outskirts of a rain zone. Maybe painting later.

gaz ere pint already

Evening all. Packing last few things for Lanzarote in the morning. Mum still in hospital. Eileen's mum still in hospital. My dad going downhill. He's withdrawing more and more. Started crying when I brought him in to see her last night. My two brothers will be under serious strain over the next 2 weeks.

Nowt you can do Dermo, go and enjoy and jump a plane over for Sundays party

Have a good holiday Dermo. You and Eileen relax, the kids will enjoy themselves anyway. Hope it's better news when you get back.

relax and enjoy your holiday dermo. You need this holiday to recharge and be able to handle things when you get back.
