Was hoping to sit out in the garden today but it has been raining much of the time.
Had a washing line-post put in the back garden on Monday. It should be ready to take the weight of the washing tomorrow so I am hoping that we get a dry day.

Ann and T have a lovely holiday in Tenerife, looking forward to hearing about it when you get back.

Sorry to hear that poor Joyce and Jan continue to have health problems. I just hope that theirluck turns soon and they both have a really good summer.

Good to here that Julia is now out of hospital and feeling well enough to contact people. Take care of yourself Julia and don't do too much too soon.

Jean, still getting the dreaded vertigo ... it must be really terrible and so incapacitating. People just don't realise how horrible it is till they experience it for themselves.

Sallie, good to see you back here. You too must take it easy. My sis and bro-in-law will be going on the Strathspey Steam Railway in a few days. They are going on holiday in the Cairngorms. Have you and Alun been on that line?

I will try to report back when they return and tell me about it.

Caz, you must look after yourself too. try not to worry about other people so much.

Tess

Hello Tess and all, thank you for thinking of me, the MRI has been changed to the 15th of April and its at Rochdale so 10 mins and we are there the tabs I have are helping but it still needs some answers, I feel sure there isnt a big problem but something to do with my ears , still once its sorted it can be treated we hope...lol...
I have to go visitors will chat later
love jean xx

For goodness sake Jean, they keep messing around with your appointment date, it will only confuse me even more. LOL
I have changed the date on my calendar, so hopefully I wont forget.

It's better that its a lot nearer you though love. And it is good to hear that the new tablets are helping you. But as you say, you need answers as to why it keeps happening so often.

Tess we had it lovely here for most of the day, but the rain decided to fall mid afternoon.
I just hope it's nice tomorrow, as I have just finished another load of washing, ready to go out in the morning.
I like to try and beat the neighbours, and get the washing out on the line before they do. Yes, I cheat and do it the night before, but if I overlay, they beat me to it. lol !!!

Sallie, I think this blessd virus is doing the rounds again here. Both of us have been sneezing, and have had runny noses today, and now my throat is sore again. Oh please lord don't let us start over again with it.

It's one of my grandaughters birthday on Monday, now how bad is this, I couldn't remember how old she is. I had to ring one of my other daughters, to find out if she is 16 or not. So it was lucky that I bought the numbers, to put on the card, just in case.
Well, dont forget there are 12 grandchildren, I normally remember the birthdays, but cant always remember the ages.

I hope that everyone is o.k, and that those of us who have been poorly lately, start to feel better soon.
Love Mo xxx

Well another good job done for another week, thank goodness. It's been raining here for most of the day, so there was no chance of drying any washing.


Mo, I'm sure that if I had twelve grandchildren, I would have a job remembering their ages too. lol! Still it would be lovely to have grandchildren, I'm beginning to wonder if I'll have any. the way things are going at the moment . Even if Alun and I are blessed with any, we will probably be too old to enjoy having them..... it would be nice to be able to do things with them while we still can.

My friend's daughter also has this virus that's doing the rounds, and was feeling really poorly today. She went to the doctors about it yesterday, but the doctor told her that although her throat was very inflamed he couldn't give her anything and to just take paracetamol and drink plenty.

So I suppose the same goes for the rest of us.



Tess, no we haven't been on any of the Scottish railways, but I'm sure that given the chance Alun would. I hope your sister and brother-in-law have a good holiday there, looking forward to hearing from you about their train journey when they get home.



Well I have to go now, so I'll speak to you all tomorrow.



Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx

T always says he fancie the Settle to Carlisle railway trip, it is supposed to be very scenic, anyone done that one?

Sunny and very windy here at the moment, just off to get my hair cut. Sort of half packed but keep taking things out and finding things that should be in.

Hi, everyone, just to let you know that Caz isnt very well so may be missing for a day or so, so if we could keep her in our thoughts and prayers,I know she would be grateful.it must be so hard for her and P,.... so petal we are here for you and praying that tomorrow will be a better day for you...
Love Jean xx

Oh lord Jean, poor Caz. She will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for letting us know honey.
I hope you are o.k today as well my love.

Ann, get that suitcase packed, you don't want T going without you. I hope your hair turned out alright as well.

It is nice to see Julia posting again, isn't it. And to know that she is feeling better at the moment.

Has anyone heard from Joyce lately. I hope that both of them are on the mend. And that Jan is getting over his pneumonia.

I hope Sylvia, Marie and our Huia from over the water are all well.

Cooeee Sallie and Tess, I have not forgotten you both.

Bye for now girls, take care one and all. Love Mo xxx

I saw the hand team two days ago, about my 'trigger finger'. The doc was going to give me an injection in it but I asked if I could drive afterwards and he said it would be best not to, so I have to try to find somebody to drive my the 40 km there and back in about 3 weeks. In the meantime they have put a splint on the thumb of my left hand, as it has been sore for many years, ever since I fell over and that hand took the weight.

I am going to see my doc today to ask her a couple of questions, and I am due for my flu jab, and I want some moles frozen off. I hope to visit Phil afterwards.

It is April fools day today! But what I have written above is no joke.

Huia.

Hi there Huia.
Have you got a family member who can drive you, to get the injection that is needed for your finger.
Oh if only we were closer, we could have taken you love.

Have you had moles frozen off before. I have and it's nothing to worry about.
I have also had skin tags cut off before now, without any numbing done to them. The doctor started one side,after an injection, and then discovered I had some on the other side of my neck that needed to come off.
She was going to inject again, and I said not to bother, just cut them off.
Suppose I am lucky that I have a high pain threshold.

I hope you find Phil in good form today love.
Take care Love Mo xxx

Hi Girls,


Jean, hope you are feeling a bit better, so that you can do some cards. It will be nice when you've been to the hospital and they get your vertigo sorted out.

I'm really sorry to hear that Caz isn't at all well. I will be thinking about her, and praying that she will feel better soon. Sending her lots of hugs and positive thoughts.


Ann, Alun might know someone at the Model Railway Club that have been on the Settle to Carlisle railway, I know quite a few of them have been on railway trips all over the UK, so I'll get him to ask them when he goes next week, and let you know when you get home.


Yesterday, our television area switched over to digital, well the first part , then it switches over completely in two weeks time. We have a couple of more channels that we didn't have before, but there are times when we lose the signal for some of the channels.
We would probably have been better staying with Virgin, but we felt that the amount of TV we watch, didn't warrant the amount we paid out each month for it.



Mo, like you, I'm wondering how things are with both Joyce and Jan. I'm just hoping that they are both getting better, and that Joyce will soon be back on here.


Sylvia, hope you and your family are all alright. Hope that you are now having som lovely spring weather. It was wet and miserable here yesterday, but it is dry and bright today, although a bit blustery.



Huia. hope all is well with you, and that you have managed to get all your washing finished.
Have you been working at the charity shop this week? Sorry, I can't remember which day/s you told us you go in to help.
I hope all was well with Phil when you last visited him.


Thinking about Tess and Marie, and hope you are both okay.


Speak to you all soon. Take care.


Love, Sallie. xxx

Hi Huia,

Just missed you. I hope you got some satisfactory answers off your doctor to your questions that needed answering. Also that that you had your flue jab and also managed to get your moles frozen off.

Do you think that your daughter might be able to take you to have your injection? Or maybe your son could come and stay a couple of nights and so be able to take you. I hope you'll be able to arrange something soon.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Huia, I hope that you can find somebody to take you for the procedure that requires doing. My, you had a medical day today didn't you. Hope allw ent well.

Caz, I am sorry to hear you are not well, hope you will be back with us soon.

Jean hope the vertigo is behaving itself.

Sallie it would be useful to know if anyone has been.

Mo, I'll finish packing tomorrow as we are not going until lunch time so have all morning.

I too hope Joyce and Jan are getting better.

Marie, Sylvia, Tess and whoever else calls in ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ a big wave to you all.

I haven't been on the Seattle to Carlisle Line but sis and bro-in-law have.
Will ask them about it when they get back from Scotland.

Have had a busy day today (for me) so am now rather tired.
Will be back tomorrow.

~~~~~~ Hi to everyone.
AND ~~~~~~~ bye-bye to all the illhealth that seems to be going round at the moment.

Tess

Just spoke to Caz and she asked if i would put an update on Joyce and Jan, Jan is just getting over pneumonia, still not clear but a bit better, Joyce still cant put her foot on the floor and is much the same in other areas, so peeps hold them close in thoughts and prayers,
Sallie, have only done a couple of cards lately, not sleeping well, up at silly times,but because I am old and frail I can have a nap whenever I want ......lol....can I hear a big sigh from you all.....poor thing....no....ah well worth a try, pouring down here and chilly too...just done a bit of shopping hard work , to much turning and searching high shelves, the head doesnt like it.....so hope I dont have to do any more......
love to everyone in equal doses.....

Love and prayers Jean xx

Hi Jean,
Sorry that you haven't been sleeping well lately. I know what you mean about being up at silly times during the night......the trouble is it takes a while to get back into a pattern again. At least you haven't got too long now before seeing the ENT Specialist who hpoefully will soon find out what's causing your vertigo.

It's dry here today, so far, but it's dull and cloudy, so I hope it will be nicer tomorrow so that I can get the washing dry.lol!


Thank you to both you and Caz for passing on the message about Joyce and Jan. Glad to hear that Jan is slowly getting over the pneumonia, as we all know it takes a long time to get over it.

Poor Joyce, I just wish I could do something to help her, if she was living nearer I would willingly try and do something for her and Jan....if it was only the shopping, I'm sure it would help.

How is Caz today? I hope she is feeling a bit more comfortable and not in too much pain. Oh dear, I feel so helpless not being able to help our friends on here that are poorly.



Jennie and Michael are coming for a roast dinner today, as Alun is up in Sheffield at a Model Railway Show on Sunday, so we are having our Sunday roast today instead.



Well I'd better make a start on peeling the veg or it won't be ready in time.


Sending lots of positive thoughts and hugs to Jean, Caz, Joyce and Jan.


Speak to you all later on. Take care.


Love, Sallie.xxx

But ! But !, Sallie it's mothers day on Sunday. Surely you wont be on your own will you love.
Perhaps Richard will pop in and see you.
Mind you, I am not sure if I will see my lot either, as they are all parents themselves, their children like to spoil them as well, bless them all. But no doubt they will show their faces on Saturday instead.

Ann, I am not sure if I have missed you, but have a lovely holiday both of you. Keep us updated if you can, it would be nice to hear from you in Tenerife.
We can all be jealous off your nice weather, especially if it's not so nice here.


Jean, thank you for keeping us informed, re Caz and Joyce.
Bless them both, they have not had a very good time of it lately.
Are you being taken out on Sunday by D for a meal.?
Give my best wishes to both J and D. I hope they are both well.

I was bought a lovely present today, by a good friend. She has got me a bone china mug and coaster, with a picture of William and Kate on them.
They have gone in my china cabinet, in their boxes, for posterity, you never know, in 150 years time, they may become antiques. LOL

Tess, I hope you are not to tired after your exhausting day yesterday.

Sylvia, has been missing for a couple of days, I hope she is o.k.

I wonder if Huia has got in to see her doctor about her moles, lets hope so.

Must go for now girls, got to start doing dinner soon, as it's now 3.55 p.m,
and we are having a chinese curry for our evening meal, and I have to prepare it.

Love Mo xxx

Hi there. Yes, I saw the doc. It was a different one as the one I saw last time is on holiday. She prescribed a different nose spray to try to stop the post nasal drip, also some Amoxycillin tabs. The nurse froze off several moles on my back. I still have a lot of others I want done, mainly round my neck and at the front, but will get them done in a fortnight. They were out of the flu vaccine, it goes at as quickly as it comes in, apparently, so I will pop in there on Monday morning to see if they have any more, before I go to the op shop.

Must go and tidy up. Brother in law is coming at lunch time and the table is covered in papers and there are clothes everywhere, which I havent put away since washing and drying them. High time I did.

Huia.

I forgot to say, I visited Phil after I saw the doc. I tried holding his hand, but he would carry it over to my knee or the table and release it, in other words, 'keep you hand to yourself'.

Huia.

Ahhh Huia, just a thought, could your Brother in Law take you to the hospital about your finger. Please god that he does not live a million miles away from you, and can help you out.

I hope your back is not to tender after having the moles removed. You want to be able to lie on it tonight when you go to bed.
Love Mo xxx

Huia, pleased that you got to see the doctor and that she has given you some medication,and that the nurse froze some of your moles off. It's a shame they didn't have any flu vaccine left....let's hope that they will have some on Monday.


Hope you'll manage to tidy up before your brother-in-law arrives. I usually find that if the dining room is untidy with my craft stuff about, someone usually calls, but if it's all nice and tidy we don't see anyone at all.lolol!!!
I suppose that's just typical though.


Mo. I don't mind being on my own for mothers day, I'll enjoy getting on with my card making, as I still have some Easter cards to make.
Richard and Christie won't be able to visit me, as it would cost them too much in petrol, and money is a bit tight with them at the moment,


Well Jennie and Michael came for their roast dinner, and enjoyed it as they usually do. Mind you, both Jennie and myself, love a roast dinner, it's our favourite meal.

You are right Mo, we haven't heard from Sylvia for quite a few days...I hope that everything is alright with her and her family.



Hope that Ann and T have a good and safe journey to Tenerife. Not sure if Ann was taking her laptop with her, as I know that she takes it to some places that they go to.


Tess, I hope you've recovered from the busy day you had yesterday. It takes me a day or two to recover if I've had a busy time.



Well, I'll say bye for now, take care everyone.


Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx
