Happy August!

telmel I don't understand. I had two tik toks removed a while back. I didn't swear, say anything offensive or rude and was totally flummoxed having seen loads of swearing and offensive stuff. I have stopped using it now although I have a moan on facebook occasionally.

telmel this is what I keep getting but I think mentors think I am crazy when I report it. I couldn't screen shot the whole page but the title is there.

Edit: It has now posted without changing anything.......strange.

jam45 sorry for late reply got so many notifications on here lol that it pushed yours further down the list!

Is that so, that nice of you! Hope he had a great time celebrating with family and mates!

kitty88uk Thanks for all your replies and don't feel guilty about not replying either. I love reading your various topics. My cousin really enjoyed his birthday because almost everyone gave him money to spend as he liked.

LL81 I see, where do you want to book your holiday at? Have a list of places you want to visit? I easily get tanned on my arms lol

kitty88uk I wish go to the Canary Islands like my usual late holidays as will still be hot. Plus beautiful just need a holiday buddy as been let down

LL81 sounds like a great and amazing place for a holiday!! how hot does it get over there? Oh no, what happened?! Can you not go with family?

hspexy Yeah I know right?! Crazy how time flies one minute it’s freezing cold and now it’s heatwave season then autumn and back to winter again!

kitty88uk yeh it won’t be long when we’re back in jumpers and coats lol

hspexy lol so fast the seasons comes and goes!! Just yesterday it was cloudy grey skies and chilly very windy and went to town put on a thin long sleeve top but all the walking got too hot so had to take it off everywhere you go no damn windows!! Good thing wore tshirt underneath lol

kitty88uk yeh the weather can get real schizo here. It drizzled and then glorious sunshine, but I can feel it’s now turned to autumn already

hspexy lol getting heatwave days with sunshine! Then cloudy days but still so hot! Now it’s a bit chilly at 16 degrees here in Leeds. I’m sure the weather will get warmer and hot again when it’s September some odd days it may happen but yeah autumn will be here soon!!

eyeballkerry oh haha you must have been so busy buying so many gifts and birthday cards and going out to celebrate

It is nice weather but it’s too hot for me haha!

Aw thank you for your kinds words~

kitty88uk Not sure you read it right, as I said ‘no birthdays‘ in August, it’s a very quiet month for us. December is our busiest.

eyeballkerry oh haha so sorry my mistake read it wrong! Oh that’s really a busy month! December birthdays and also lots of Xmas gifts to buy for your family and friends but it must be fun getting into the seasonal spirit of celebration lol

kitty88uk Unfortunately I do not like Christmas. I used to when the children were younger but really don’t like all the hype that goes with it. I try to get away before the run up to Christmas.

eyeballkerry oh?! Yeah did back when I was a kid too now as you get older you become less interested lol no idea why but I know what you mean

I don’t bother with putting up the bigger green Xmas tree just a small rose gold one in my room and decorate it however I want

Is that so, where do you try to get away to?

kitty88uk We hardly put up any decorations although we have a huge Christmas tree out the front which has been growing for years. We will be in the Canary Islands in the run up to this Christmas on a cruise. If is usually the canaries or the Caribbean but we will be on a Caribbean cruise in October.

eyeballkerry oh wow the tree will be growing so much! How tall is it now, can you share a photo?

Oh on a cruise that sounds fun what do you usually do?

kitty88uk I will sort out a photo later. This will be our eighth cruise since March 22. I recommend you never go on one as you get hooked! Joking aside we absolutely love them. So much to keep you entertained or not if you just want to relax on your own balcony.

eyeballkerry cool thanks look forward to seeing the photo of the tree !! What do you do on cruise and it must be packed with people!! I wonder how much it costs per person?

kitty88uk Once on the cruise you can do a variety of things such as use the pools, hot tubs, play sports, use the gym, join in quizzes, arts and crafts, dance classes. You can visit the art gallery, join in auctions, use the variety of shops. Enjoy the coffee shops, restaurants and bars. Play in the casino and be entertained by the shows at night. Comedians, ventriloquists, dances, magi Ian’s and much more. Or just relax and let the world go by. The ships are big but certain ones such as Brittania with P&O you will always find a quiet spot. This ship does not feel crowded by any means. As for cost we find they are one of better ones for value for money. We done the Caribbean for 2 weeks £1300 and 2 weeks Scandinavia for £865.

eyeballkerry oh wow that sounds like fun! So many things to do to keep busy! Do you meet a lot of people or prefer to keep to yourselves? Oh that doesn’t sound bad with the cost! Nice little getaway on a cruise

kitty88uk The good thing is you can mix with people or keep yourselves to yourselves. I enjoy meeting people and have actually kept in contact with a someone in Telford and someone in Southampton. We have also visited a both few times since coming back.

eyeballkerry that’s so lovely thanks for having such a long chat with me on here! Nice to meet other members! And listening to their stories of their holiday travels! Did you manage to get a photo of the tree ?

kitty88uk I have the photos of the Christmas tree, sorry I forgot. The first photo of the tree is 2022 and the second one 2023. It is now even bigger, we are going to have problems getting the star on top.

eyeballkerry oh so pretty the Xmas tree and light decorations!! wow how much for it and how tall is it now? I have a small rose gold one for my room and have a lopsided cause I missing a plastic leg on the base it’s an old one for living room the lights change to different colours cause it’s led but don’t move anymore been broken for a long time lol

kitty88uk I have added another picture of the tree how it is now. So tall. But really looking healthy, unfortunately when we move we will have to leave it behind

eyeballkerry nice photo of the sunset and tree looks tall too! Oh is that so that’s a shame! Moving to a bigger place? Thanks for sharing great photos!!

kitty88uk Not sure where we are to yet. We all things we want in a new home. My husband wants a double garage, our daughter wants a music room and a craft room. I would love a sun room. Plus my own bathroom. Ideally this would be abroad.

eyeballkerry is that so, a music room sounds awesome sun room is a patio right? We have one during the summer it gets too hot and very cold during winter ooh own bathroom is a must have lol

Oh! Abroad if so we’re would it be? Hope it all works out for you and your family!

kitty88uk The music room will be for drums, electric piano, guitars and ukulele. A sun room is an actual room but I want bi folding doors or at best sliding doors to open it up to the garden. Abroad we have looked at both Portugal and Lanzarote. But who knows, only time will tell.

eyeballkerry oh wow she plays a lot of different music instruments! Ah so it’s different to a patio. Ooh sliding doors sounds good! But they do break easily we have had our patio for probably over 20 years and it broke and cannot be closed properly! had people to come look they said parts too old and would need to knock down the whole patio and build a new one pfft wtf

HEDGEHOGS is that so how old will he be? Happy Birthday to him! Have fun celebrating with family and friends! It’s still hot over here in Leeds only started getting cooler after 8pm

Flowers of hydrangeas have all dried up due to heatwave!! even though we water them everyday maybe should have done so again later on after dinner too

Thanks happy August to you too!

kitty88uk Awww thanks for your kind words, our son will be 32 next week, funny enough hes a Leeds Utd supporter . Yes my hydrangeas are looking a bit sorrry for themselves too, I have started some cuttings and their coming on nicely, just need to try and overwinter them now ready for next year.

HEDGEHOGS haha you are welcome~ yeah they have dried up even more now it’s annoying! They were so nice and big and very bright pink they have now wilted

You must be very good with gardening

kitty88uk They should come back ok for you hopefully . We do love gardening and also like to sit and enjoy our hard work too.

HEDGEHOGS I dunno hopefully they are so dried out even though they get watered, too hot during heatwave and now it’s all of a sudden got colder! There was a nice pink flower started blossoming but a stupid squirrel keeps coming to garden and started to eat them!! guess it’s has nothing to eat so went to eat the flowers!!
