Saying Hello - at last!Hello Anna , how you doing ? thanks for your reply , i know the feeling about being demotivated especially when you loose the love of your life and not having them around to , how i miss him , i still cry and sometimes forget hes not in my life anymore !! but i have to keep going even though life seems so lonely at times ! i dont have the money to go far and at times feel people forget how you feel and dont bother much thinking i must be doing ok on my own , am looking to do voluntry work and get back to meeting people , i am quite a shy person so not used to being around a lot of people so need to get my confidence up ! how are things going in your new home ? as you mentioned you had moved and been through an operation ! i hope you be ok , do you see much of your daughters , my daughter works full time so i cant always rely on to take me out in her car for shopping etc. i own my own house at least no mortgage to worry about but still have all the other bills. I feel am rattling in it as its 3 bedroom , may get a Lodger in ha ha ! anyway take care i look forward to chatting soon . Jennifer xxViewDate:

Toys of the 50s and 60sMy father was a joiner and he made a few of our toys at Christmas , my two sisters a blue and pink dolls cot which were so like the real thing , he made me a lovely wooden desk as i loved to draw and read , my brother got a fort for his soldiers so much better than the plastic ones ! we had them for years . He even made toys for a neighbours child.I had a Tressie doll when you pushed her belly button her hair grew and then used a key to turn and make it shorter again ! i also loved my spirograph and making lovely patterns .ViewDate:
