My grandaughter

hi! i am the amazing grandaughter that my nan is always talking about!the girl who is the sister to the grandson who climbs up the old oak tree!i am 11 years old.

my writing is very confusin because my nan says i am not aloud to mension any names- annoying- but il live!

 anyway, i am usually at my dads of a weekend but for some reason i am not this weekend- thats why i am anxious-my mum will not tell me why!!! she is usually fighting for us to go to our dads of a weekend for her 'peace and time on her own' :)

i adore the computer and never get off of it! i am a computer-whizz. i usually write very non standerd english on the computer and very slang and shortening; im not sure my nan would aprove if i did that on her precious blog.he he!

i went to a school disco yesterday. it was a laugh. there is a new dj to what we usually have and this one was hilarious!much better than the old one, this bloke wore masks and wigs and things it was so funny!

i had a big shock yesterday towards the end of school, i had to leave early, it wasnt a very nice shock either.i cannot say what it was but it was nasty at the time. that is another reason why i am curious because i dont know the fall story of what happend.as you can imagine, i let my hair down for the disco to chear myself up a tad.

down to the last bit- embarrasment! my nan!she is the most embarrasing person i know!she realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly shows me up in front of friends and public.if theres someone at the bus stop who shes seen there before, she'll say this is my grandaughter, my second youngest grandchild, her names #~*~# shes 11, shes da da da and so on! the worst thing is, she wears this stupid coloured patched hat which she claims is in fashion because its in the shops!not the one that she wears and the way she wears it.she looks awful in it! one last thing, when we go out shopping for her to buy me clothes, she says ' oh get that size, the next one up, you'll have some room to grow then wont you!' its so embarrasing, everyone looks! but i have to say, an embarrasing nan is much better than just a plain one, it would be exteremely boring without her!i adore her, i love her to pieces.i love my nan!i love you nanny xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx grandaughter xxxxxx thankyou people xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ps can i have some comments please! he he! xxxxxxxxxxxx

My cold

I've got a cold.  Blah!!

Teenage hooligans

Over the last week or so there has been a gang of teenagers hanging around my house and garden.  There has been fighting, argueing, shouting, running around and jumping.  The good thing is that it will all end in the next few months.  Last years baby magpies have become teenagers and they are doing what all teenagers do.

There are about a dozen of them constantly doing all of the things mentioned above.  What a noise they can make.

The funniest thing i saw the other day was when one was walking along and suddenly jumped up in the air about two and a half feet, land and then carry on walking again.

At the bottom of my garden i have a large wonderful oak tree that is always full of life.  This time of year the wood pigeons use it for their courting along with the collared doves.  They tend to stick to the middle of the tree.  The above mentioned maggies are constantly in and out as they cannot keep still at the moment.  Crows like to perch at the very top and look out at the world and blue tits, great tits and woodpeckers use it too.  Best of all is when you watch the squirrels running up and down playing and argueing with the MAGPIES.

The oak tree is one of the last trees to get its leaves so i have a good view of everything happening in it right up till late spring.  Blackbirds sing their songs from its branches and my grandson climbs it to the horror of his mum as he watches the world.

It keeps the rain off the kids toys and next doors shed.  It gives the infants from the next door school shade when they are outdoors in summer and provides them with leaves, nuts and insects to study.  It is a whole universe, complete in itself.  It does not need me to exist but i would a lesser person without it.

I LOVE MY OAK TREE!!!

No brain ?

I got them all wrong and i thought i was clever!

Crazy e-mail

My daughter just sent me this by e-mail

Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately. OK?

Let's find out just how clever you really are....

Ready? GO!!! (scroll down)



First Question:

You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!

Try not to screw up next time. Now answer the second question, but don'ttake as much time as you took for the first question, OK?

Second Question:
If you overtake the last person, then you are...? (scroll down)



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person?


You're not very good at this, are you?






Third Question:
Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.



Take 1000and add 40to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10. What is the total?


Scroll down for answer.....


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Did you get5000?

The correct answer is actually 4100.



If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator!  Today is definitely not your day, is it?  Maybe you'll get the last question right... Maybe.



Fourth Question:

Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?







~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did you Answer Nunu? NO!Of course it isn't.
Her name isMary. Read the question again!



Okay, now the bonus round:

A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?





 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




He just has to open his mouth and ask...
It's really very simple.

 

PASS TH IS ON TO FRUSTRATE THE
SMART PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE!

Have a nice day everyone.

 

 

 

ABC

Thought i would give this a try although i cannot remember where i found it though as i put it into my test journal a while ago.

A     Apple or PC?

PC desk top and laptop

B     Banking... online or in person, and if in person, drive thru or inside the bank?

Online for me, hubby goes to bank or hole in wall.

C     Coffee and Chocolate!  The two most important 'C's  Favorites please.

Cadbury's  milk chocolate, cappachino coffee,  but not too often, caffeine not good for my blood pressure and not after 8.30pm or i will not sleep.

D     Dogs.  Do you have one?  If yes, what kind and it's name and why you named it that.  If no, then if you had one what kind would you choose?

No dog at the moment, had a toy poodle called Sam, just because it was a nice short name.  Then a huge labrador called Ben and another toy poodle, Tim.  Big Ben and tiny Tim.  The gerbil was Herb The Gerb, budgie was Budge, cat was Fluffy.  Very inventive names.

E     Elvis.  There was only one.  Favorite song, and if you ever or your parents ever, saw him live.

Although i admit he had a great voice, i have no albums of his and no favorite song, although i like Are You Lonesome Tonight, and no in the UK we never saw him live. 

F   Flowers,  do you have a favorite to receive and/or favorite to give?

Roses, Lilies, Freesias.

G.   Grandparents, do you have any left and if you are one to, how many?

All mine have been dead awhile and it was only my maternal grandfather i never met.  Yes i am a grandmother to 7.

H     Handy or call for help?

I used to be handy with small things, i can change a plug, but now i don't have the strength in my hands due to arthritis.  For anything else....  why have a dog and bark yourself, if there's a man handy!!! 

I     IOU's any out there to a person, a friend or family?

No, only the loving kindness shown to me.

J     Jello.  Love it?  Hate it?  Favorite flavor?  With whipped cream or cool whip or neither?

Just a like, but not had it for years.  No favorite flavour and probably best on its own.

K     Kiss.  Do you remember your first real kiss?  Where, who?

Not really, i don't remember a lot of the past and i am not a great lover of kissing either.  Too claustrophobic.

L     Language.  Do you speak any others?  Fluently or a little?

Tiny, tiny bit of school french.

M     Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck?

Not fussed about either.

N     Neighbors.  Do you know their names?  Occupations?  Phone numbers?  Or not?

Yes for the immediate neighbours, we have all lived here for over 30 or more years.  I also have a 'bus stop friend' of the lady who lives over the road, she is a recent neighbour and we have a small 'hail and ride' bus we get on together 3 days a week.

O     Olympics.  Do you watch?  Which is your favorite winter or summer?

I always watch both summer and winter olympics.  I love snooker and tennis too.

P     Pluto.  What is your take on the planet being downgraded? 

On balance i would have kept it as a planet.

Q     Quiche.  Have you ever had it?  Do you like it and what is your favorite?

Are you kidding.  I'm a christian, how would we manage at any bring and share without the Quiche.  LOL.  The more that's in it the better i think.

R     Refrigerator.  Name three things in your refridgerator that you think are unusual.

I once put some socks i had bought my son in the fridge because they were in a similar bag to the cold meat.  I spent days looking for them then when i found them made him put them on cold to go to school in.  Bad mum.  The other unusual thing is that i have nothing growing mold in the fridge at the moment.

S     Safari.  Have you ever been to Africa on one?  A theme park version?

No,  but my friend has twice, does that count?

T     Telescope.  Have you ever looked thru a telescope? 

Yes but only briefly, i would love one though.

U     Umbrella.  Do you have one and what is its design?

2 black ones, i need more.

V     Vintage.  Do you have a favorite wine to share?  Or drink?

I don't drink wine, only the odd shandy.

W     Willies.  What gives you the willies?  You know, that shudder you can't stop?

Spiders, earwigs.  Kids noses when they have a cold, and people who stick their fingers in the same place, yuck!

X     X-ray.  Last one?  What body part and why?

Mammogram 2 years ago when i was 53, one when i was 50, then when i was 14 on my ankle and a chest x-ray when i was 4 and had pneumonia.

Y     Yolk.  How do you like your eggs?

Anyway i get them but if there is a yolk then i prefer it soft.  I was brought up on fried eggs for breakfast along with cod liver oil.  It's probably why i have a good immune system.

Z     Zodiac.  What's your sign and does it fit your personality, in your opinion?

Scorpio.  The sex symbol with a sting in her tail.  Loyal to friends but don't cross her.  I don't do horoscopes but the only thing that is true to me is that i am loyal to friends.  Sex symbol, Ha ha.  I don't bear a grudge or seek revenge and i forgive easy.
