Best wishes, Caz for a good result.

Huia.

Hi Ladies, where has everyone gone to? Nice to see you posting Caz, and hope that all will be alright on Wednesday. I know I've alreday said that before, but I feel that it won't hurt to repeat it. Take care I''m thinking about you.


Ann, after reading the thread for Julia, earlier on this evening, I'm more concerned and worried about her now. I still just hope that she's received a ban from GR and that she and her hubby are both alright.
I'm sure that if Julia could get in touch with any of us, she would have by now.
I think it's coming up to four weeks since she last posted, isn't it? So I'm hoping that by the end of this week, we'll hear something from her.
I sent the letter again today, in a new envelope and with the full name that we think is her surname.



I wonder if Sylvia is home after their weekend at Vancouver Island and if they had a good time there.


Marie, we haven't heard from you for a while, I hope that all is well with you.


I'm going to make myself a cuppa now.....Alun can't have anything to eat or drink now, as it's after nine , he's going for a blood test at seven tomorrow morning, before he goes to work.

I hope everyone else is alright, speak to you all soon.


Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx

Hi To all my friend's
Good luck Caz for Wednesday I will be thinking of you also Dutch-and my had is firmly gripped to both of you however it could be a bit wet all that water between us.
Sallie dear, thank you for your thoughts, I am well but summer is a very busy time for me with the veggie garden I did beans yesterday and the day before I made plum sauce as well as visiting grandchildren and working in my native garden the bane of my life is couch grass it is so invasive
and difficult to get rid of. It is also time to prune many of my natives as many have finished flowering.
I also cleaned out my cutlery drawers and washed and shined the cutlery
I had a busy day, I have been working on my Swedish and Danish tree
I down loaded a free Programme from ( my Heritage) It is very good the only catch is the send you (Smart Matches) which are spot on they let you contact a few of them then they tell you that you must up grade to premium to be able to contact, and of course I cannot afford the cost of the upgrade. Bu---r,
Hi Mo, Jean, Huia , Ann Where do I go to find your Blog?? Has anyone heard from Liz Sparkly Purple Diamond lately.I used to get such a laugh from her descriptions of the OH.
M y son and Dau-in-law have sold their home and yesterday they bought a new one, It looks very nice. I am very pleased for them, Tracie is a stay home mother so the repayment on this home should be easier for them to manage and hopefully less stress for my son.

I must leave you all now as I have not eaten yet so must close
Love and Hugs to you all. , (((gentle hugs for Caz & Dutch)))
Marie from over the Pond

I have seen Liz S.P.D. post other threads, she just hasnt come on here lately.

I caught another rat last night, I think it was a male, perhaps looking for his mate. I hope that is the last one, but doubt if it will be. Come winter they will be queueing up to get inside.

Huia.

Hi everyone
xxx

Good luck Caz for Wednesday


We had a lovely weekend away, J&R are wonderful hosts. We have 5 other friends who live over there, and J&R had one couple for dinner on Friday, the singleton for coffee on Saturday morning, and the other couple for coffee on Sunday morning!

The ferry ride over there was a little rough last Thursday ............ it was very windy, so there was a bit of rocking and rolling

But the weather for the rest of the wekend was lovely. We went to bed every night with a forecast of snow, much snow, ringing in our ears ....... but every day it was sunny, dry, and no snow ................. although it was very chilly out of the sun!

The only distressing thing was seeing that one of our friends is showing definite signs of memory loss.


take care

ps Sallie passed your regards on to Caz and your message its ok as shes not always on pcxx

Thanks Joyce, I appreciate that. I just hope and pray that all will turn out well for her tomorrow.

Not long heard from Liz, I've put a thread up on here, asking about Amokavid( Joan ) I'm concerned about her as I haven't seen her post for a long while.....Liz replied to it, saying that she hadn't seen her on any of the boards either.

It's really worrying with both Julia and Joan missing. Hope that everything is OK with them and their families.

Joyce, hope your toothache has stopped. Take care.

Love, Sallie.xxx

Hi Sallie still have it on and off just have to not have to let anything touch the nerve,nearly fell last night with the vertigo am making appointment this morning for Jan as he is not well and also for myself ,i think my other knee is on its way out plus i forgot to get my B12 injection this is my 28th but its now down to one amonth,did you manage to post the things for the cards if you dont mind me asking also got another g,son who will be 8 yrs old but the main one at the moment is G,Grandson Benjamin who will be five
Ann how do you look at your blog please
Love Dutchxx

ooooooooooooooCHAIN OF LOVE AND BEST WISHES FOR CAZ FOR TOMORROW.oooooooooooo (((((((((HUGS))))))))))

HUIA, if you are looking in, can you let us know if you are o.k after the earthquake.
I am not sure if it's in your area,but I worry all the same love.

Sallie, I hope Alun was able to get his blood test done. Was it for his cholesterol,?.
Is there any more news on your house sale yet.

Marie, it's good to hear from you.
So you have some Swede and Danish ancestors. Have you had many problems in the tracing of them.
It's all well and good, down loading things like My Heritage, but it's the expence that comes with the upgrade, isn't it. Nothing that we want, is ever free,is it.
Has your son bought a house closer to you.

Sylvia, I have images of you and your OH rocking and rolling, on the ferry over to Vancouver. The song "I could have danced all night" or "Jitter bug Boogey" comes to mind.
Sorry to hear it was a bit of a rough ride for you both though. But gladdened to hear that you had an enjoyable time.
Unfortuately, memory loss will affect us all with time. But like my mother, she was unaware of it, it was just us on the outside that was affected by it.
And it is heartbreaking to see,I agree.

Joyce, thank you for letting us know about Liz. The poor girl has been going through a lot lately, and we do miss her lively updates.
Please give her our best wishes when you speak to her again.
Fancy you forgetting your Vitamin B injection. Mind you, I am surprised that the doctor or hospital,had not sent you a reminder about it.
I hope you both get an appointment soon with your doctor.
When is your dental appointment. I don't envy you having toothache,I don't know whats worse that or earache.

I wonder where Ann is today, she is very quiet at the moment, I just hope that they are both o.k.

Take care girls, I will look in later tonight. Love Mo xxx

Phone the docter h is on holiday and my appointment is for 24march for the dentist seems to be easing off,only when i drink tea it hits the nerves
Just rang up the adoption agency and there going to try and trace my Grandson have not seen him since he was 2yrs old and now he is 30yrs old his mum died when he was 2yrsold,and it was only when doing the family tree i got his birth cert and notice adopt on the bottom,I had to ring GRO up for some information so thought i would just ask about my Grandson and she gave me there number ,i had tried writing to his other G,parents over the years just asking for photo but no reply so fingers crossed i may find him and be able to meet him
Will past your best wishes on Mo to Liz
Love Dutchxx
ps my son Michael has got decease lungs had been in hospital again only found out from another son of mine,but he said mum dont tell him i told you

I expect they don't want to add to your worries Joyce. Hope you manage to trace your adopted grandson.

Mo I ama round but have been busy doing other things. have been reading occasionally but not adding much.

Oh Joyce, it would be wonderful for you, if you can trace your grandson.
Just imagine it's been 28 years since you have seen him, he's gone from a boy into manhood now, what a difference you will see in him.
I am sorry to hear about your son Michael, but can understand why he said not to tell you. He doesn't want you to have any more worries on your shoulders.
Oh by the way, how is Jans niece now. Is she out of hospital yet, and how did her operations go.

Oh there you are Ann, see I nearly missed you. I bet you have been extremely busy with your blog.
Could you send Joyce the details of your Blog,as she has been asking about it.
Got to go now, it's nearly dinner time. Cottage pie and beans for dinner tonight.
Look out wind here I come. LOL

Yep, I have given Joyce and Marie the addy for the blog as asked.

Thanks for your support ladies, I am a bit nervous in case it shows the cancer count hasn't come down but we will see.
Ann I would like the addy for your blog as well if you would be so kind, I am closing down now but will be back on tomorrow teatime to look for it, thanks.

Love Caz xx

Mo She has to have another opertion as the skin is growing round the bone and they cant put the false leg on like it is ,not sure when she is having the op will let you no how things go when i was talking to my son early ended up crying cos i miss my daughter ,he was telling me try not to get upset as i know he misses her too
Dutchxx

Now, Now ,Joyce, You know your daughter would be so cross with you, upsetting yourself like this.
And your son is feeling her loss as well, bless him. Your boy does not like you to be so upset, and you have to try and be strong, in her name,just as she would want you to be.

Poor Jan's niece has really been through so much hasn't she. I am surprised they have not put a balloon type contraption under her skin, to stretch it, so that when they operate, she has enough skin there to cover the wound.

Caz, we are all going to be with you in spirit tomorrow love. Stay strong. xxx

Hello Girls,

Right I'll try replying to you all again...almost finished writing one and it just disappeared.


Caz, sending you lots of love, and special thoughts for tomorrow, we're all here with our hands joined, and hoping upon hope that your results will be better than you expect. Thinking about you. Take care.



Mo, hope you are feeling a lot better now. When do you get the results of your xray?

Alun went for the usual blood test, Mo. The last blood test he had, the doctor was concerned about one of the results, it was to do with liver function, and his blood pressure was up a bit, too. So we'll see what the results of this blood test will bring.


The couple that came to see our house a couple of weeks ago, would deffinitely like to buy it, but they still have to sell theirs. It's a shame that they haven't got a two bedroom bungalow to sell, then we could do a swap....it would be great not having a chain.



Ann, still no word from Julia. I sent the second letter yesterday morning, but I'm not holding out any hopes that she''ll receive it. D still hasn't seen Julia's OH....I just hope, like everyone else, that both her and her OH are alright.

I had a quick read of the thread for Julia before I came on here, and what Piers has said on there, makes sense, I only hope that he's right.

We'll send a few more photos to your blog if you would like them. I'll get Alun to do it for me.....I can't do it myself.lol!! Ann, you put me to shame, with you being able to do so much and set up a blog too.




Sylvia, nice to see you back, but sorry that you and OH had a bit of a rough crossing to Vancouver Island on Thursday.
Pleased that you had a loely weekend with all your friends, and that you managed to escape the threatened snow.

Hope J, M and MJ are all well. It can't be too long before MJ will be one, but maybe I'm wrong, the time goes so quickly it's not easy keeping up with everything.




Joyce,the things are on the way to you, I hope you'll get them okay and that you'll like them. Sorry they are going to be a bit late.

It would be wonderful if you could meet your grandson after 28 years, I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll hear some good news before too long.

I also hope it won't be too long before both you Jan can get a doctors appointment, and that he will be able to do something to help the both of you.

Just wondering if your friend has been to visit you again this week...it must be so nice when she visits you, to be able to have a coversation face to face in English with someone other than Jan. I don't mean that in a horrible way, just that it's nice sometimes to have another woman to talk to, other than on the phone.

I'm sorry to hear about your son Michael being in hospital again, but I can understand why they didn't want you to know, as you have health problems and worries yourself. I hope he's feeling a bit better now Joyce.




Marie, it's nice to hear from you. You certainly have been very busy in the garden. It's good that you enjoy gardening, and it must give so much pleasure.

Will you son and daughter-in-law be living nearer to you when they move? It will be lovely for you if they are.
Take care.



Huia, I really hope that you can get rid of those rats before the winter, you don't want to have to part share your home with them. It's a pity you can't get someone in to get rid of them for you.



Hope Jean and J are having a good time in Llandudno.



Well, I'm going to get on with some mre cards now.


Speak to you all soon.


Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx

For those of you who dont know, Christchurch is a loooooong way from where I live. I didnt know about the earthquake until 4 hours after it happened, when I got a message from a GR member asking if I was ok. That was the first I knew about it. It certainly is a shocker. At least there seems to be only the one fire.

Huia.

Thank goodness you are safe Huia. I know that we tend to panic over here,when bad things occur across the pond, but we have no idea, geographically where you are in relation to the quake.
It was the same when the floods hit OZ, we were concerned for Marie as well.

Sallie, my doctors surgery phoned me this evening, to say that my x-ray was normal. But I have an appointment to see my doc, on Monday afternoon, to try and find out where this ache in my upper ribs is originating from.
