Hi Ladies,

Marie, hope you will have a safe journey to Brisbane and that you'll have a good Christmas staying with your cousin. Take care, speak to you after Christmas.


Jean, we are having problems with our email account and are trying to sort it out and I look forward to seeing the pics when all is sorted.


Caz, nice to see you online again, hope you are in less pain now. Did Phil manage to go and do the shopping, or was the snow too bad to get out? Sent your card, but you know what the post is like, as I might have said before.


Mo, Sorry to hear you're having snow but at least you've managed to get out and get the 2 presents you'd forgotten about.


Ann, Pleased to hear that you and T enjoyed your evening out. Hope the snow doesn't stop you going away for Christmas.


Joyce, Great to hear you on the phone last night, you sounded alot better than you've been.


Huia, Have you managed to get rid of your "unwelcome" visitors yet? Are you still working in the charity shop? Hope Phil was okay when you last visited him.


Linda, did your OH manage to get work today? I saw it on the news about Heathrow Airport.


Hope Tess is alright we haven't heard from her for a while.


If you don't hear from me for a couple of days it is because i am busy trying to get organised for Christmas, we still haven't put our tree up yet or wrapped some presents.

Love and best wishes to everyone,

Sallie

Hi Sallie
No luckily hubby didn't have to go to Heathrow yesterday, today or for the next two days. He is off for his long weekend before he starts late shift on Tuesday. If the weather is too bad he might stay off as he was off sick Tues, Weds and Thurs this week, due to arthritus in his knees !! Poor old boy.
The dr said it was best to rest them while taking prescribed strong pain killers. So if the drive is not possible he will get a sick note.
It is his birthday on Wednesday so we don't need any accidents due to bad weather.
We were at the garden centre yesterday when a lady got out of her car and trod straight onto ice and fell on her BTM and banged her head on the car front. We helped her back into her car(she was a passenger) and advised her to sit for a while to settle any shock she might have. Her partner didn't seem at all sympathetic and she was saying sorry for falling!!! We saw her later and she was achy but OK. I said if she had a headache or felt unwell she should get herself checked.

I won't go out with little M if the weather is bad next week. She has been so poorly for about 6 weeks now, first several bouts of tonsillitus on antibiotics then chickenpox and last wednesday a hacking cough again and the usual NOSE.

The dentist has done a good job on my tooth just as well as I was in his chair for nearly an hour. Just a short appointment next time in the new Year.

Take care everyone in the bad weather here in the UK and those travelling in warmer climes of Australia and New Zealand over the Christmas Holidays

Linda :o) XxX

Linda, I do hope the poor woman who had the fall is o.k. As you said, any knock to the head should be checked. The person she was with, did not sound very sympathetic, makes you wish you had pushed him over in the snow doesn't it.

I had an emergency phone call from my son this afternoon. His fiance had fallen over in the snow, on her way back from shopping, he was not quick enough to catch her.
She was in considerable pain, at the bottom of her pelvis, and the inevitable question came, mum what should I do. Ring the hospital, speak to the midwife. The midwife said if the baby does not move within an hour, bring her in and we will check her over.
I told him to give her some ice cold water, to stimulate the baby, and wake her up. Well she started to move thank the lord. So I am now waiting to hear wether they went to the hospital or not.
Thank goodness she is due next month, as I feel like I am having this baby myself, with all the phone calls I have had about this that or the other.
Linda, will you go and see my dentist for me on Tuesday please.
I bet she will refer me to the hospital dentist to have this crown taken out, and the root canal treatment done again. What a pain in the BTM.

Iput apiece on early about Jans cousi who had bad accident Jans mum has just told us ,she has lost her foot they could,nt save it have put thread up on general for this young mum,what terrable time for her and in so much pain she is also Jans God daughter

Oh Joyce what terrible thing to have happened. I am so shocked to read this, I thought she had been spared this,and would have been on the mend after her skin grafting had been done.
((((((((((((((HUGS TO YOU AND JAN))))))))))))) Love Mo xxx

Mo I am so sorry your son's fiance has had a fall in this awful weather.
I think I would have gone to the hospital just to be sure. I do hope she will be OK. Good to hear the baby has been moving for them though, bet they and you are relieved. I wish her well and take care while the weather is so bad.

Linda :o) XxX

We are just as shocked as we thought they were going to do skin grafted but it was,nt to be shes on morhine pump at the moment for the pain shes in ,such loverly young lady please excuse the spelling early on my post .it was 2.30 in the morning and thank you Mo
Dutchxx

So sorry to read of Jan's niece Joyce.

I hope she isn't in too much pain and will be able to cope with her little ones

Linda X

I am sorry to read about Jans niece Joyce, how sad for her to lose her foot.
Mo I hope your Son's fiancee is Ok after her fall, always a worry isn't it?

Just to let you know girls, my son has taken his fiance to the hospital, as baby had not moved for two hours.
Her heart beat is good and strong, and the midwife is pleased with her.
But S. has been losing water over the last few days,and I am just hoping she does not have a dry birth, or any other problems.

Mo, I am sorry to hear this news I have been trying for ages to reply but the b****y thing wouldnt work yesterday it kept jumping around so much Iswitched off none of the other site were affected just G.R. any how back to what i was trying to say, the hospital is the best place too be for the baby, they will keep a close eye on the two of them , we will hold them close in our prayers....and you and daddy too....

Finally got to put my little tree up, and a few bits and pieces, doesnt take me long when I get going...loads of expected parcels and cards still not in view, but hey, never mind the ones I have recieved are a blessing....
think I will go and do a bit of scrapping, so take care everyone, love to the foreign people and Tess....lol...
love Jean xx

whoops that was me deleting.....

Thank you honey.
They finally got home from the hospital at about 10.30 last night. J had to take his two children from his first marriage with them, and the little ones were shattered. It would have to happen on the weekend when they were with their daddy.

So you are now getting into the Christmas mood are you, with having put your tree up.
I really don't feel very Christmassy at all this year, but once my young ones turn up, I am sure it will change.
I think it's having all this snow hanging about thats making me feel like this, and not wanting to venture out in it. Old misery me.

I am not sure if our darts match will be cancelled tomorrow or not yet. It won't bother me if it is.

Roly has donned his wellie boots, and gone up the club for a pint. Good luck to him, I just hope and pray he doesn't fall over, I don't want an invalid with a broken limb to care for over the holiday period.

I hope you are all warm and snug in your homes.
Take care everyone. Love Mo xxx

Just quick message to let you all no that Ilonka is going to lose her leg as well,have updated it on GR thread,so upsetting for the family
Dutch

Oh Joyce, why the whole leg, do you know? How sad for them. Not a good christmas for them is it. And I assume that she works on the boat too. It must have been a very bad fall, unbelievable isn't it? OK one minute and just one slip. I do feel for her and send my thoughts to her and the family.

Joyce, I am so sorry to hear the update on llonka, this is devastating news for her and the family.
God bless her and her family.
Sending you and Jan love and best wishes. Mo xxx

Oh dear Joyce I am so sorry to read that llonka has to lose her leg, how can one family have so much trouble, it seems it never rains but it pours, a saying round here. I am thinking positive thoughts and praying for her but it seems it didn't work.
I'm glad mum and baby are ok Mo do you think they will induce her if she keeps on losing fluid?
Well, the sun has been out for the last three days but we still have all the snow lying around it hasn't melted it but just made the road slippier for the cars, they still can't use our street. I hope the snow keeps away till after Wednesday as I have an appointment with my neurologist in the afternoon that I really want to keep. Will you all keep your fingers crossed for me that it is not bad news, I wouldn't normally ask for myself but I am worried about it.
Hubby did manage to get all his shopping done and he even bought me two new nighties bless him, I did ask him but he has to now I can't go out unless I use my wheelchair.

Love Caz xxx

Caz, they won't take S. in until they really have to. Baby is fine so they are not concerned. I just hope they remembered to tell them that she has been losing amniotic fluid, or she will have a dry birth. oooooh painful.

I will not only keep my fingers crossed, but my legs, arms, eyes and anything else I can cross, for a good result for you on Wednesday.
An extra prayer will be winging it's way to you tonight love.

Thank goodness hubby managed to get all the shopping for you.

I hope everyone is well, I have to go now, as it's darts tonight.
Love to you all. Mo xxx

Glad the baby is ok Mo but I was thinking of a dry birth, yes ooooooh is the word. I don't think you had better keep your eyes and legs crossed but I appreciate the thought thank you, I only hope he can at last tell me what's wrong with me and it's not bad.
Good luck for your darts tonight although you won't see this before you go.

Love Caz xx

Ooooh yes I have Caz. Thanks for the good luck wishes.
Love Mo xxx
