Special guest

He's looking very snappy in his Man United shirt. He watched the game last night. He says he enjoyed watching the match where they played Marseille and won 2-1 and it was a relief when Man U won.

Barry Williams has had another look at the Ken Abrams website - "they've got Fodens, Renault, Mercedes and Volvo lorries - the best ones are Fodens because I'm part of that family.

My nan and grandad were Fodens and so was mum before she was married. Last week I went to Sandbach and got some badges from the market. Two are Fodens, one is Cummings and a M.A.N trucks one. Cummings is the engine one. It's a really good stall to visit if you want badges."

Annie Hodkinson was looking forward to Helen making a DVD of them all at tai chi but it's off today as the instructor couldn't get a room. It's been a week of changing plans as there was no aquafit instructor on Monday so we had to make up our own exercises in the pool.

Annie says: "Everyone thought I was wonderful, we had the sausage things (woggles) and did the Hokey cokey and we made up some arm exercises. It was very nice."

Sue Taylor is also having a week off tai chi. She went to the Dingle Centre in Winsford yesterday for lunch, pork steak, mash and veg, and jam sponge. Jackie is most upset she wasn't invited. Sue says it was a good "9 out of 10!"

Next up is Karen Morrey who has just helped us do a dvd clip for Helen talking about the Blog – famous again! “On Friday I went out to Northwich with my mum shopping and saw Jackie at the library and Phillip in the charity shop.

"We didn’t get any bargains and I had to go to the dentist but it was ok and then we went to the Anderton for a nice drink. I had a drinking chocolate and give it 20 out of 10 so give a try!

"Next week my friend Katy Preston is coming to see me at my house, she works at the council too and is going bob by to say hello and for a cuppa, I’m looking forward to it. And my Dad is going to be 70 in May, I’m looking forward to the party. In the news there’s been lots of trouble in Japan, earthquakes and flooding and I’m thinking about everybody there, its sad.”

Anthony O'Sullivan has also been watching the tragedy in Japan on the news and feels sorry for "all the children, they need help, they need love and houses built again for them. I didn't watch the Man U game, I like Liverpool, I wanted United to lose as I'm a scouser!"

Jamie Walker has been a parrot all morning, copying what I've said! What Jamie has to say today is: "everyone is being a pest except me!" Jamie also helped with Helen's DVD shouting "Hello we're the Blog group!"

Derek Powell is next and has been very patient as always admist the chaos that is the blog group! Derek says: " My niece had a birthday party on Saturday, she was thirteen and her name is Abbey. We really enjoyed it, my sister bought a chocolate cake which was nice. We went into town on Saturday afternoon to get all the shopping, to Sainsburys, I helped carry it all, there was two bags full. I've watched a lots of films recently on TV, we had a DVD of Love Story which was really good. "

Ricky Foster says: "There's changes coming up that are very exciting - I'm starting at Learn Direct onFriday which I'm really looking forward to. There's a chance our newsletter might become a business which I'll be involved in. And it's my review on Friday too so watch this space!!!!!"

Rae 's just been to Charlie's cafe today as the gym group was called off - he says "I had coffee and toast, it was alright, I liked it. Glynis and Jill from our place are in hospital, I hope they get better soon. Yesterday I went to Warrington with Chris, it was alright, I had a full english breakfast, egg, sausage, beans and toast - it was from the market cafe, it was nice, I got a newspaper and the Radio Times too. I'm going to see Joan on Saturday, that's my sister, I'm looking forward to it."

Phillip Nield also went to Charlie's today; "I had milky coffee, it was nice, I'd recommend it. We had a change from the gym today which was good. We went for a good walk too, but we'll be back at the gym next week. I had a nice weekend, chilled out. This afternoon I'm going into town as usual with Charlie to spend my money!"
