Hi, all thanks for the birthday wishes, still having a bit of a struggle with things, but you all are such a big help to me, it is so good to know you understand when folk are not too good, so bless you all , see you soon.
love Jean xx

Hi Girls,

Mo, read on here last night that it was Jean's birthday, so at least I managed to wish her a late Happy Birthday. I was so tired all day yesterday after having such a busy but lovely weekend with my brother and sister-in-law. Friday, we went out for a run around the area, there were a few places that they wanted to see. Later on Jennie and Michael came over, and we all went to Frankie and Benny's for a meal, it was absolutely great, we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Then on Saturday we went for a run to the Derbyshire Dales to Bakewell.
John and Sylvia had never been there before, they really loved it there. We had a snack in one of the many tea and coffee shops there, before making our way back here. Jennie and Michael then met us at a pub we mostly go to, for a meal, the food is always good there.
Yesterday, I cooked us all a Sunday dinner, so by the time it was all done, I was well and truly 'cream crackered', to put it politely.

Mo, so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the 40th Wedding celebrations, it's lovely to meet up with people that you haven't seen for a long time, it's nice to catch up on each others news. Did you feel comfortable in your new skirt and blouse? When are the other celebrations, that you are going to? Sorry, all questions!

Sylvia, good to hear that you and OH enjoyed the opera. Sometimes I think, that when you don't feel like going to something, you tend to enjoy it all the more. You have been having a bit of excitement on your road lately.
I like the part where you told us, only the women were keeping watch on the house, typical of the men. At least you were all able to have a natter while you were waiting for the police to arrive. I hope there hasn't been any more trouble with the alarm, since then.
Good to hear that all is well with your daughter and son-in-law, and that MJ's gas problems are now getting better. Bless him! Sendind him hugs and kisses!

Huia, sounds like a good idea with the photos for Phil, lets hope that they'll jog his memory a little bit. I hope your weather will get a bit better, so that it will be a lot nicer to drive there. Sorry you have to use Malation, especially as it doesn't smell very nice, but as long as it will get rid of the itching, then it'll be worth it.

Debbie, it's lovely to hear from you, we all miss you on here. Daniel is doing really well, please give my congratulations. Did Luke and Sophie get what they wanted at Pound World? I don't blame them for wanting to stay indoors in the hot weather, I'm just the same. The project that they are doing at home sounds very interesting, I'm sure it will look great when it's finished. I hope Matthew didn't find it too hot at the Sports Centre, I think he's brave to go there when the weather is so hot. I also hope that Peter won at golf.
Sorry to hear about your Dad, I hope he'll feel better soon. Nice to hear that your Mum had an enjoyable break away.
Hope that Peter will soon be able to get his Dad's estate sorted out.

Jean, if you are looking in, I hope you are feeling a little better each day. I know it's a long haul and there is no quick answer to it. I know what it feels like, so my thoughts and prayers are with you. Take care! Love to you, J and D.

We haven't seen Ann much since she's home, although I think that she did say that they were going somewhere else about a week after they got home. Unless I've got it wrong!

I wonder where Marie is? I just hope that all is okay with her and her family.

Well, I'm going to make some cards now, as it's coming up to Fathers Day, both Richard and Jennie asked if I would make a card for Alun, and also Jennie asked if I would make one for Michael's dad. We don't make a big thing of Fathers Day, just a card and that's all. It's just a commercial gimmick.

Speak to you all soon. Take care!

Love and best wishes to everyone.

Sallie, xxx

Hi one and all.
Sallie, my week is going to be a full one. I have got darts tonight. Tommorrow is my grandaughters 18th birthday,and we are going for a family meal. Thursday Roly and I are in the mixed pairs at darts. And then Saturday it is Roly's cousins 70th birthday celebrations.
It's always the same, a week of loads off outings,then nothing for months on end.
My new clothes were very comfortable. I felt the bees knees,all dressed up for a change. I even managed to get my nail varnish on my nails,and not all over my fingers. LOL

You had a very full weekend as well Sallie. But it sounds like you had a good time.
We visited Bakewell,many moons ago. Mind you we did not know we were going there. We had gone to Blackpool,with a coach trip. And on the way back,they told us we would be stopping there for a few hours.
It was so nice there,really quiet as well,considering how many coaches had had the same idea.

Sylvia. It's good to hear that little MJ is well,and probably getting really cheeky. It's so lovely when they are that age.
Sorry to tell you that I am not really an opera buff. The same as I cannot listen to a string orchestra. There is something about the tone off both that affects my ears,and they start to really hurt if the sound is loud.
Poor old soul arn't I.
I hope your meal with your friends went well,and that you all enjoyed the
food.

It is so lovely to hear from Jean. I hope you are starting to feel a little better
lovely lady. Take care off yourself,and don't forget we are here for you,and praying for a quick recovery.

Right I have to go girls. We are having home made fish and chips tonight,
and I must start my preparations.
Love and best wishes to you all. Mo xxx

Hi Mo,

Just to wish you luck for tonight. Hope yor team will do really well and win. Please wish your granddaughter a very Happy 18th Birthday, from us.
Enjoy your family meal out tomorrow night, it'll be nice to have a family get together.

As you say Mo, everything comes together, and then nothing for months on end, never mind, enjoy yourself when you can.

Love, Sallie. xxx

Hello Ladies, how are you all today?

Mo, I am pleased you enjoyed the party the other night. I love all the 60's music (even though I was only just around then and probably wouldn't have had them played to me as a babe). But they all make so much sense, and I really don't understand everything that my children listen to, although I wouldn't admit that to them sometimes - I usually hum along to a tune and that is "cool" enough for the teenegers in the house.

Jean, a Belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you. I hope you are on the mend and feeling a lot better.

Sylvia, what a palava with your neighbours' alarm. It is awful when something like that goes off and you have no idea why, particularly when the owners aren't around. We occasionally get that with a car alarm in our road.

I am pleased you enjoyed the Opera, such a treat. I have to say that it isn't really my cup of tea, but I appreciate the work and skill involved, and I am often moved by the sound of a voice singing, even if I don't understand what it is all about. You are lucky to have such a good Arts Community. We get quite a lot of top performers over here and they are always well supported. I think half of the time is because it is such a treat to have top names performing in such a small Island.

Huia, we did the same for Peter's Dad with a scrap book of photos. He really appreciated it at the time, and as we had labelled everything very simply he was able to explain who people were in the pictures. We put things like "Jean - Davids Wife", so that if a stranger was looking at them they would know the connection even if F-in-L didn't remember. It made for a conversation at quieter times.

Anyway, gotta go. Just thought I would pop in to catch up before I get sandwiches made for tomorrow. Daniel has just come home from football training and Peter is out at Snooker. Just helped Matthew finish his Geography homework, all about South Africa and the impact of the World Cup there. Quite interesting once we got our teeth into it.

Will catch up again soon.

Take care. Debbie xx

Dear Friends, I had written you a long letter catching up with you all WELLLL I lost the lot butter,

Mo I hope you had success with your Darts,Debbie congratulations to your Son on his success. Sallie I hope your Daughter is keeping well Jean the same for your Daughter also.

quickly.
I must be off and hopefully will be able to find time to post I have been popping in to read the posts but have been too tired to post .
Love & Hughs to you all xxxxoooo Marie.

Hi Everyone,

Debbie, lovely to hear from you again. Did Luke and Sophie manage to get what they wanted at Pound World? I hope they did, and that they have been able to do a bit more to the farm or zoo that they are making.

Marie, great to hear from you. You have been busy, what with knitting and helping to look after the children. I hope your daughter will do well in her exams, please pass on my good luck wishes to her. Also hope that the plumbing problem has now been sorted, and that you are now able to shower in your own place once again.

Mo, how did you get on at darts last night? I hope your team won. Also hope that both you and Roly have a lovely time with the family tonight and enjoy your meal out.
I met another friend of mine today, we decided to meet this morning and have breakfast out, so by the time we ate the food and nattered, it was almost lunch time, so I had another pot of tea and Helen had another coffee and we had a cake each, and of course, more nattering. Although we talk on the phone fairly often, we haven't had a chance to meet up for a good while. so we had a lot to talk about. Still, I enjoyed it and it was a nice change.

Liz, are things alright with you? I haven't seen you for a couple of days. I hope that OH hasn't upset you, keeping on about the wedding. Let's hope that the son in NY will find somewhere to stay and not bother you. Just stand up to the whole tribe of them.

Sylvia, hope all is okay with you and OH, and that you've had no more bother with the alarm in the house opposite.

Jean, hope you are feeling a tiny bit better today. I'm thinking about you, and am here for you!

Huia, hope the weather is not as cold as it's been, and that you are keeping warm. How was Phil when you went to see him? I hope that the photos stirred some memories for him.

Ann, if you're looking in, I hope that you and T are enjoying your holiday, and that where ever you are, that the weather is better than it is here.

Well, I'll speak to you all soon. Take care!

Love and best wishes. Sallie. xxx

Good evening everyone.
I have just got back from my grandaughters 18th birthday meal. We had a lovely time,and grandaughter was so pleased with everyone turning up,she had no idea how many off us were going.
I am afraid to say that we lost at darts last night. It was a very close game. We took the first game,the opposition and us were on a finish on the next game,but they finished it. And the last game we were both on a double,and they managed to check out just before us. So no shame,as the team that beat us,went on to the final.
I am so shattered now,so I am off to my bed. Night Night all. Love Mo xxx

This thread will self destruct at 10.00p.m tommorrow night.
Night Night god bless one and all. Mo xxx

Eh, what Mo? lol

I am ok thanks but just a bit snowed under with life at the mo so might not be posting much for a while, doctor apptmt wasn't very good, she was running so late way over an hour so messed up my time in the city well and truly, means I have to go in again on Friday, and I will be tired out by the time we get to the barbeque on Saturday at his son's house.
Haircut today, hope they cut it the way I want it and not chop off too much, I know what these hairdressers inches are like lol

Take care all,
Lizxxx

Hi all.

Where is everybody hiding? I hope the thread wont self-destruct as Mo says. I have had a nice easy morning and this afternoon I took myself for a walk along the ridge road at the top of our hill. Tomorrow - well, I will have to see what I am going to do, apart from make an appointment to get our vehicle serviced next week. I will visit Phil on Sat or Sun. I want a bit of a social life so am trying to find something interesting to do. But I dont want to commit to anything permanent at this stage. I will just have to see what comes up.

Huia.

Huia, dont worry about what Mo says she is inclined to panic....
what sort of things do you want to do? what about joing a photography club.

Liz, I am sure you will look lovely, and change of scenery may do you good,

Sallie I do thank you for your support as you see things are getting easier.

Now Mo, stop frightening our friends, or else....

love to Debbie and Marie and everyone else.

love Jean xx

Hi Girls,

Hope this is second time lucky, I had got half way through writing a message, and it just disappeared. At first I thought the thread had self destructed, as Mo had said it would. LOL's Oh Mo, you are awful frightening all of us, your friends, like that. It's a good job that you are a really lovely person, and that we all think a lot of you, otherwise, I don't know what would have happened. LOL's.
Is it tonight that you go to the 70th birthday do? If it is, I hope that both you and Roly will enjoy yourselves.

Huia, good to know that you had a lovely day, it's sometimes just nice to do what you want to do, with nothing else to think about. I think as Jean suggested, a Photography Club might be a good idea, if there is one near to where you live. My cousin's husband goes to one, not too far from where they live in North Wales, he really enjoys going to it. Also, he's made a lot of new friends there. I hope that Phil will be more alert when you visit him over the weekend. Have you taken the photos for him yet?

Jean, it's lovely to see you post on here! I'm only too pleased to give you my support, as you know I've been down that road, and at times, still am. I know exactlly what it's like, it's a horrible feeling, and it's nice to have someone that understands. You know where I am, so anytime you need me, I'm here for you. When does D get the rest of her exam results? I'll be thinking about her, and wishing her well.
Next Wednesday, I'm going to Derby to a craft store, to be shown how to do parchment. I don't know whether I'll be able to do it, but thought I'd give it a go. Have you ever done it?

Liz, I know exactly what you mean about hairdressers, in my experience, they either cut off too much or hardly any at all. Although the last time I went to one in Derby, and the girl that cut my hair, did it just as I liked it , so I'll be going there again, which should be the week after next. Good luck, I hope she'll do it as you like it. Hope you enjoy yourself on Saturday, I'll be thinking about you, and hope that the weather will be nice , at least stay dry for you.

Thinking of Sylvia, Debbie, Marie and Ann, and hoping you are all okay.

I'm now going to get back to doing some cards. I'm toying with the idea of making some for the church my brother is the vicar of. While they were up here last weekend, I made three Ordination cards for them to give to people they know that are being Ordained in the next couple of weeks. The problem is, that you can only buy those sort of cards in a Cathedral shop, so it means that some people have to go to a city to be able to buy them, and that isn't always possible for a lot of people.

Right, I'm going to start again now, instead of waffling on to all of you.

Speak to you all later. Let's hope Mo won't keep to her word at 10p.m. lol.

Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx

Hi Sylvia,

Just read Sue's thread on theTips Board, I hope OH's eye is alright, and that the antibiotic cream will keep an infection away. There's always something! Hope you're okay. Speak to you later.

Love, Sallie. xx

Ha got ya all. What would I do without you. I got fed up talking to myself, Oh woe is me.
I am completely shattered,I have been busy painting all the door frames,and skirting boards upstairs and down stairs. Me and my big mouth,saying I would start the job Roly has been promising me he would do ages ago,and that is all the painting. The walls are yet to be done. I think I have a big sign on my head saying MUG. But I am fed up of waiting.

Our Jean knows me pretty well,but I was not panicking this time, honest injun Jean.Did you do anything nice for your birthday Jean.
It was nice to look in here and see that you had added,we do miss you.

Liz, If the hairdressers cut my hair any shorter,I would be completely bald.
I always keep it short as it is. It's easier for me to wash and go,without any hassle. I hope yours turns out as you want it to.
Just threaten the hairdresser,that if she cuts it to short,you will send the butcher round to sort hers out for her. LOL
I hope the BBQ turns out alright,don't forget to look for my airballoon overhead. If they play up,I will off load the water bombs I have got prepared,they will think it's raining,and all run inside and leave you in peace.

Huia, do they have tea dances over there. A few off my neighbours go to one locally to us. They thoroughly enjoy themselves. And as they are held during daylight hours,they feel safer in going.
They do sequence dancing,but you don't have to dance if you don't want to.
Some just go along for the company.
We also have the womens institute. I used to attend,but they started to hold that in the evening,and I didn't want to go out at that time off an evening. We used to have different speakers,on various subjects. And lots off things like flower arranging,cake icing etc.

Sallie, the 70th birthday party is on Saturday. But we have decided to not to go. Well I say we,Roly has decided as it's quite a way from us,not to attend. It's a shame really,because he has not seen his cousin for donkeys years,and it would have been nice for them to have met after all this time.
But wether it's because to much time has lapsed,and Roly may feel that he does not know him any more,and that they would be like strangers.
But theres me,I would not have known anyone either,I only met his cousin
once,and that was back in the 60's.

Well my friends,I will see you all tommorrow.
Love to you all Moxxx (the invisable woman) LOL

Hi Mo

and everyone


I've had a busy 3 days ....... and now I'm knackered!

A friend that I met on Friends Reunited (the parent company of GR) back abour 6 years ago is visiting a friend north of Seattle, just south of the US/Canada border. I met up face-to-face with Anne and 3 others from FR for lunch in London in 2008 ........ we're also on another much smaller site together (only 7 people!).


The US hosts were kind enough to bring Ann and her OH up here on Monday so that we could have lunch together. It was a great 2 or 3 hours. They had to leave about 2:30 pm to avoid rush hour traffic going south ..... unfortunately, what we didn't realise ('cos no-one had been listening to the radio) was that there had been a bad accident, and all traffic had to diverted off the highway. It took them an extra 2 hours to get to the border! Anne said there was a gas (petrol) tanker on its side, things looked bad ......... but we haven't heard a word about casualties or anything.

Tuesday was physio .... which means I'm usually out for at least 3 hours.


Then yesterday, my cleaning lady came, so I escaped to the Mall, had lunch, a little walk round, then found the coffee kiosk near the main entrance to wait for OH.

As Sallie said, he had an eye problem ......... shortly after coming in from the garden on Saturday afternoon, he felt a bit of grit or "something" in his eye. He tried washing it out with an eye bath, several times. No success. I tried putting in Visine eye drops, several times. No success. By Monday morning, it was so swollen and red and he was so uncomfortable that he called his optician and got an emergency appointment for 10:30 am. She couldn't get it out, thought it might need lancing, so made an appointment with an opthalmic surgeon for Wednesday afternoon. So he went to lunch with 4 people he'd never met before with a swollen, half-shut, red eye! He did say that he would blame me!!!!!

He found later on Monday that putting a hot damp wash cloth over his eye made it feel more comfortable, and he repeated that a couple of times on Tuesday. The surgeon said that he had done the correct thing with the damp hot cloth!

Turns out it was a tiny piece of skin that had been abraded off the inside of the lower lid, no idea how. The surgeon put in a drop of local anaesthetic and removed the piece with tweezers.

OH was given a prescription for a special antibiotic eye ointment ....... and I have to put in a "one half inch strip" 2 or 3 times a day. He tried to do it himself early this morning before he went out ....... got it all over his eyelashes, so I had to get up to do it for him!!


Anyway, it's much better now. Problem is that he has a high pain threshold ..... the optician said "you must be in agony". He says "No, it's just an irritation".

I told him he had to tell the surgeon it was B****y painful or else he might get left with nothing done for days!!


ah well.

Having a quiet day today ............. it's also raining and chilly, so am not encouraged to go out! OH will stop by the house to pick me up to go for afternoon coffee.


Mo ..... I still haven't sorted out what I'm going to wear for the 50th Anniversary buffet dinner dance. Think I'll go with the black skirt that I have ............... maxi length. But no idea about the top!! I do have until July 3.

Plus ... I can't wear "nice" shoes at the moment because it hurts the hip and knee too much if I do, so I'll have to wear my regular daytime "sensible" ones.


Off to make my lunchtime sandwich and have a mooch around on the boards.




love

Hi, reporting in from Dorset where we have had a lovely break, really lovely accommodation and such nice people who own it. They had an extension built on to use for a holiday apartment. The weather has been mixed, from very hot last weekend, to wet Monday PM, the rst of the week has been a mixture of cloud and sunshine but no rain. Today it has been very windy, Sadly we go home tomorrow.

Jean, belated birthday wishes if you are looking in, sorry you are not well and hope you feel better soon. I have been to a couple of craft shops here and, of course just had to buy some supplies.
Sylvia, your OH's eye sounds very painful, hope it is better soon.

Mo I've only just remembered, that both you and Roly were playing in a mixed double darts match tonight. I hope that you both won? I knew you were both out tonight, but thought it was Roly's cousin's party, until now.
Just waiting for Alun to get back from the Model Railway club, so decided to send you a message.

Sylvia, pleased to hear that OH's eye is improving, hopefully it will soon be a lot better.

Ann, good to hear from you, so glad to know that you've enjoyed your holiday. Have a good and safe journey home tomorrow. Take care!

Goodnight to everyone.

Love, Sallie.xxx

Hi Everyone,

The weather is quite nice here today, and they've given it nice for tomorrow, but after that back to our usual British summer weather. Oh well, I suppose we must be thankful for the odd good day here and there.

Sylvia, it sounds that you all had a lovely time with your visitors, I bet the time went very quickly, and could have done for a bit longer. To think that they were held up because of an accident, they could have spent extra time with you, had thay known. Hope all is well with you and OH, and also with MJ and his mum and dad.

Mo, how did you and Roly get on at darts last night? I hope you had a good match. Were you looking forward to going to the 70th Birthday do tomorrow? Although as you said you don't really know anyone there, apart for the cousin, and haven't seen him for years.
Laura, Chloe and the baby came from school today, so I made them something to eat. Chloe loves to come and have some food with us. She had made a hat with the St. George flag on in school today, so she came from school with it on.
Alun's sister phoned last night, and she was telling him that she is finding it very hard to cope with her OH, he's had Alzheimers for over six years, since he was 58, and she feels that things are getting more and more difficult each day. I wish we were living nearer to her, so that at least we could give her a bit of support. One of her daughter's lives about 7 miles away from them, but she has two little girls to look after, and also works part time, so is limited to what she can do to help her mum.

Ann, hope you are home safe and sound, and that you had a good journey.
If the weather was like it was here, at least you had it dry to travel.

Jean, if you're looking in, hope you're having a fairly good day, today.

Debbie, hope all is well with you and your family, and that your father is feeling a bit better than he's been.

Marie, is it still as cold with you? Hope you and the family are all okay. Take care!

Huia, I'm so pleased that this thread didn't self-destruct. We would all be lost without it. Did you manage to find something you can join? It would be good if you can find something to join, especially if it's fairly near home. Hope you find Phil as okay as he can be when you visit him. Take care!

Liz, did you manage to get into town today and get what you wanted.? Hope the hairdresser did your hair as you wanted it done. Have a nice day tomorrow, and don't let any of them upset you. I'll be thinking about you!

We haven't heard from Marilyn for a while, I hope all is well with her and her family.

I'm going to make a nice cuppa now, so I might look in again later on.


Love and best wishes to you all. Sallie. xxx

Hello my lovelies.
Sorry to say Sallie,we went out in the first round at darts last night. We have vowed never to enter for it again. There were people there,that never play in both Roly's and my league of darts. Even some England players,
county players and goodness know who the rest were. All trophy hunters.
It's not our idea of a fun night out, which we expected it to be. Still you live and learn. I have got one more game this season,and thats on Monday night,then nothing till the end of September.

Sylvia,how the heck did your husband cope,you would obviously have thought he would have been in a lot of pain. It's bad enough when you get an eyelash in the eye,let alone what he went through.
I dont know, the pair of you have been through the wars lately. What with you with your leg and OH's eye,if we put you both together,you could go for a part in treasure island,as Long John Silver. LOL
I suppose you could start a new trend when you go to the 50th do,by going
starkers. It would save on having to buy something,and washing it afterwards. Mind you, you may find it a bit chilly.

Ann have you arrived home yet. So happy that you have had a nice time in Dorset. It doesn't matter sometimes if the weather is changeable,as long as you have got a few home comforts,and clothes for all weathers.

Sallie did you enjoy the peace and quiet last night,when Alun was at his
Model Railway club.
Has Richard managed to get a job yet. My son is not having any luck at all.
He had what he thought was an interview today,up at Lakeside. Spent money on extra petrol to get there. Was kept for 10 minutes,then told they are not holding formal interviews till later in the month. He was completely cheesed of,as he said he could have done other things with the money he had to spend out.
He, like Richard has been to so many interviews,but been unsuccessful.
It's very demoralising for them isn't it.

Liz, in case you do look in tonight,good luck for tommorrows BBQ.

I wonder how Marie, Huia, Liz,Debbie and our Jean are today.
If you are looking in girls (((((((HUGS)))))))) for you all.
Love to all. Mo xxx
Ooops missed you Sallie,you posted as I was typing.
