I,VE BEEN LUCKY HERE, THE HOUSES NEXT DOOR HAVE FLOODED, NOT FROM THE RIVER, THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM HERE CANT COPE AND THE WATER FLOWS DOWN INTO THE CARPARK AND THE BACK OF THE HOUSES, THEYV'E ALL PAVED THE BACKS AND LEFT NO SOIL FOR WATER TO SOAK INTO. MY HOUSE IS LONGER THAN THEIRS SO THE WALL ACTED AS A DAM. I LOOKED OUT OF THE WINDOW INTO THEIR GARDENS AND THERE WAS A LOT OF WATER, I DID'T EVEN HAVE ANY PUDDLES!!
GOING TO TAKE DOG OUT AND SEE HOW HOW THE RIVER IS BEFORE WORK. January 10 PEDIGREE DOLLS AND TOYSPedigree Soft toys ltd: London PEDIGREE DOLLS AND TOYS, MARKET WAY CANTERBURY KENT in 1970's Part of the Lines bros group, Lines made dolls houses starting in the late 1890's and then traded as Triang toys, made Spot On furniture, trains under the Triang[ part of the Rovex group] and took over Mecanno.

January 01 CHRISTMASIT'S BEEN A QUIET CHRISTMAS, I INVITED FAMILY OVER CHRISTMAS EVE BUT ONLY A FEW CAME, ON CHRISTMAS DAY I WENT TO MY DAUGHTERS TO SEE JOE OPEN HIS PRESENTS AND THEN TO MY SONS, THOMAS OPENED HIS PRESENTS AND THEN WE WENT TO PARK HALL FOR A MEAL, IT WAS VERY NICE AND WE WERN'T RUSHED AT ALL, THE FOOD WAS NICE BUT IT STILL DIDN'T SEEM AS GOOD AS BEING AT HOME. CLARE WAS IN HOSPITAL CHRISTMAS DAY, NOT THE FIRST TIME!! WE WENT TO SEE HER AFTER THE MEAL AND THEN I TOOK DAVE AND FAMILY HOME.
I WAS HOME BY 4.30PM AND DIDN'T SEE ANYONE ELSE ON CHRISTMAS DAY. I DIDN'T GET ANY NICE DOLLS OR TOYS FOR CHRISTMAS, I GOT A NEW WITCH TO USE IN THE WINDOW FOR NEXT HALLOWEEN, AND SOME OTHER NEW BITS. THE BEST THINGS WERE A NEW CAR RADIO, IT'S VERY NICE AND ONCE I'VE GOT IT SORTED I WONT NEED TO CHANGE CD'S OFTEN AS IT PLAYS MP3 FORMAT. THE OTHER NICE PRESENT WAS NOT REALLY A PRESENT, A LADY DOWN THE ROAD WAS GOING TO THROW SOME DOLLS AWAY BUT DECIDED TO GIVE THEM TO ME AND SINDYS FRIEND VICKY'S ORIGINAL DRESS WAS IN WITH THEM!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!! |
