Sylvia what brilliant news for you, (and us of course, thats me being selfish).
Fingers crossed about the radiation treatment, but I take my hat of to you, you are a very brave courageous lady, to have gone through what you have, and come out the other side as strong as you have.
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 CONGRATULATIONS. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3.

I thought that I would have to Dial 999 and get an ambulance for Roly yesterday afternoon.
He was in agony with pains in his side. It ended up with us rushing up to the doctors, and luckily theu saw him straight away.
The doctor seems to think he has got kidney stones, so is arranging for an emergency scan for him. But I will wait and see on that, what I consider an emergency, they probably dont.
But believe me, if he gets the pains again, we are going striaght up to A+E.
The doctor has told him to take Paracetamol, and an anti-inflamatory to help with the pain.
I am making him drink as much as is possible, to try and flush the stones through him.
The saucy doctor said,the way to check if he is passing a stone, is for Roly to P through a sieve, Roly's response was he would use a pair of my tights instead. Stupid boy isn't he, he should know that my tights would never fit him. lol ;-)

I hope everyone is well, and staying safe and warm.
Speak to you all again soon. Love Mo xxx

Sorry, Sylvia, I should have said what great news that is for you, but it was getting close to dinner time so I just put my witch on in a hurry. I will have to remove her some time so I dont put a hex on you or anybody else.

Huia.

Brilliant news Sylvia, well done, you are one brave lady
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Mo, poor Roly, hope it all works out for him, we shall keep him in our prayers, give him a gentle hug and have one yourself ,

Hello all, Mo, hope that Roly soon gets shot of whatever is causing the pain, sounds more like a boulder than a stone!!

Marie, good to see you posting. I do love a bath and always said I would not be happy without one. However, when we go to tenerife we only have a bath and I don't miss it at all. Good idea to have the shower room without a ledge in case you need it that way in the future.

Well the sun is shining now and it was shining at 10.30am when we went out. However, we have not long got in and we drove through a tremendous downpour and through roads flooded far deeper than I have ever driven through. The main Gloucester Cheltenham road was badly flooded in one place, we didn't realise how deep it was until we got to the middle of it (I was not driving, OH was thankfully). Luckily everyone was driving very slowly and carefully as, besides driving through the flood the rain was coming down so hard that visibilty was very poor. But now, as I said, the sun is shining and it is like a spring day out there. Weird weather!!

Ello,Ello,Ello girls.
Oooh Marie, what on earth is Dingo Bait, dare I ask. It's sounds rather smelly to me, yuk. Not something like doggy doo do is it, lol ;-).
How are all the family doing now Marie. I hope they are now over all the health problems that they were having.
Is your grandson enjoying University?.

Please note girls, we have got a very young Huia on the thread, photo wise I mean.
You were such a lovely baby Huia,( you haven't changed a bit, still as lovely as ever.)
And may I ask how our Phil is doing these days. Do you manage to get to see him as often as you would like.
Have you heard from Liz lately, only I have not seen her posting very often,and am wondering if she is keeping well.
Please send her my regards next time you speak to her.

Ann, it had been nice earlier today, but now the sky is as black as black can be.
It looks like that cloud burst you had earlier, is heading our way.
I was in our garden earlier, doing a bit of pruning, in readiness for the winter.
The garden refuse is due for collection on Monday, and I just want to get the worst done before it gets any colder.
Do your council allow you to put food waste in with your garden waste. Ours does,so I like to make sure it gets collected once a fornight,or it may start to smell. Mind you, we dont have a lot of left over food to go into the bin, little piggies that we are, we like our food to much to waste it.

I hope that all our friends who have been under the weather just lately start to pick up soon.
Oh and still no scan appointment for Roly. I am beggining to think it's his Irritable Bowel thats playing him up, but then I am not a doctor so what do I know. lol

I will speak to you all tomorrow, as I am at darts tonight.
Take care my lovelies. Love and best wishes to all. Mo xxx

(((((((((((((((((((((HUGS FOR OUR JEAN)))))))))))))))))))))) Especially as I have not spoken to her in a while,and she will think I have forgotten all about her and Jeff, but I haven't .mwah to them both. xxx

Hi Mo, No we can't put any food in with our garden waste. We have a separate small food caddy for that which is collected once a week. Garden waste is collected once a fortnight.

I am having a busy time lately. Yesterday I paid a quick visit to Phil. He was awake and scratching his arm. I took his hand to stop him scratching and after a short time his hand started to move up my arm and scratch it. He obviously thought it was his arm. One of the women wants me to load some of our old photos onto their computer so I think I will put them onto a CD when I have time and take it through to them. They will see if Phil can see the pictures.

After visiting him I went back to Papakura to do a little shopping and to sit in a nice cool place to write a speech. I then drove to Pukekohe and went to the local paper office to get a couple of spare papers as there is an ad in asking people to vote for me! My campaign manager wants a copy.

I then went to the town hall for the meet-the-candidates meeting run by the local branch of the educational institute. It went ok but the teachers obviously need to be educated about the origins of money.

Today I will be going to Papakura again in the afternoon to pay the phone bill and pick up some prescriptions, and then at 5.30 to go to the local electorate office for a meeting for candidates, presumably to be told what we can and cant do.

I hope I dont have to go anywhere on Saturday. On Sunday afternoon I am going to the Papakura Theatre Club's soiree of Gilbert and Sullivan songs. I just hope I can restrain myself from singing with them.

Huia.

Hello everyone.
Huia you are such a little gad about just lately. It's so nice that you are now filling your days with things that you are enjoying doing.
I do hope that Phil is not going down with scabies again, with his scratching his arm like that.
Thats the last thing that either of you need to go through again, it was bad enough last time wasn't it love.
I hope the "Meet the Candidated meeeting" went well,and that the people come out to back you and your party all the way.

Our Doctors surgery phoned last night, with the results of Roly's urine test.
He has got a kidney infection,and they have put him on a strong course of anti-biotics.
I thought it was very good of them to ring us, and get a prescription put into the pharmacy, ready for collection first thing this morning.
Lets hope and pray it is only an infection, and not stones after all. Bless hime he has really been in pain with it.
And to top it all, he is now going down with the cold/flu that I came home fron Blackpool with.
Lots of tender loving care, and bowls of hot soup are keeping him going.

We are going out for a meal tonight, with our son, future daughter in law, and her grandparents tonight.
Fingers crossed they don't catch the virus thing we have had, to take back to Scotland with them.

I will say bye for now girls, speak to you tomorrow.
Love and best wishes to you all, Mo xxx

Oh woe is me, this is a very lonely little thread.
Has everyone deserted us, or have they hibernated for the winter months.
Well if anyone happens to look in to say hello, I hope you are all well.
Take care everyone, love and best wishes Mo xxx

Hi Everyone.

What is GR doing? I'm not sure if it's just me or if it's this site. It's very slow again and when I am trying to write a PM the page just doesn't seem to keep still.

Mo, just wodering how things are with Roly. I hope that he has had the antibiotics off the doctor and that they are starting to work for him. Let's hope that he has a kidney infection and not stones.

Hope you enjoyed your meal out with your son and future daughter-in-law on Friday evening.



Marie, if only dingo bait would get rid of depression you could make a fortune.lol!! Thank you for asking, at the moment I feel okay.....I'm slowly coming off the antidepressants I'm on as the doctor has told me that they are now having the reverse effect on me and are making me more depressed because my body has got so use to them.

I only take one every four days now and for the first and second day I really am very down, so I dread taking them. I see the doctor on Tuesday so will see what he has to say about what I have to do next.

I am now able to get on with my card making, which is good as I have quite a lot to do between birthdays and Christmas. I've done a good few cards this last week so I'm very pleased.



It's very quiet on here, so maybe I'm not the only one having problems with GR.
I had 30 credits that some others have had from GR, but I won't use them.....shame I can't pass them onto someone that can.

Hope all or other friends on here are okay.

Going to have a nice cup of tea now so will speak to you all soon.


Love and best wishes, Sallie.xxx

Oooops Sallie, the site has posted your message three times.
I do wish they would sort things out properly for once and all.

Roly is taking the tablets, but he is still getting the pain on and off,bless him.
He was fine till about 3.30 this afternoon, and wham it hit him out of the blue.
We had a lovely meal on Friday night. It was just a pity that our son and his other half had had words.
They are supposed to be getting married next year, but the way things are going, they wont be together.
They do seem to love each other but they bite each others heads off, for what appears to be no reason at all.
Ah well thats life I suppose. It's our baby Lilly that I feel for, the two of them should talk their differences, silence is not going to solve anything.
What anti-depressants has the doctor had you on Sallie?. I have been on Citalophram 20 mg for years now, and it's far to late for me to be weaned away from them now, or so my doctor tells me. He should have kept a better check on what I was taking, rather than keep on giving them to me. After all, I am just the patient and didnt know know what an effect they could have on me, and he did.
How are Alun and the family doing now love.
My lot are fine. My grandson asked me yesterday, if he would be getting a big bag of presents again this year at christmas. It really choked me up to have to tell him we couldn't afford as much now, with us both being retired.
Bless him he is only 11, but he said never mind Nan, I will love whatever I get. Kids, they get you every time dont they.

It's lovely to hear from you Sallie, as I thought that everyone had got fed up of posting on here, and was going to leave it a few days and then delete the thread.

Well love, it's that time again, yes tea time. lol Speak to you soon. Love Mo xxx

Hi Mo,

I'll have to delete two of the messages, I don't know what GR are doing these days.

Oh Mo it would be a shame to delete your thread, I'm sure that we are all not fed up of it. I've just been busy making cards so haven't had a lot of time to get on here.
I know Joyce is fed up with all of GR and is thinking about not renewing her membership next time.



The antidepressants I'm on are called Seroxat, but apparently there is a high suicide rate with them. I first took them about ten years ago for two years and felt great. So about two and a half years ago the doctor put me back on them and was okay with them until six months ago and then started to feel more depressed and at times suicidal as well. The doctor told me that I had to come off them but it would take a long time before I'm off them completely.
I'm just wondering now, what he'll decide to do about them when I see him on Tuesday.


Richard was on Citaloprham for a good few years and doesn't take anything at all now, although he does have a couple of down days now and again.

Jennie seems to be getting along okay.As long as she doesn't eat anything with too much fat in she's fine. Just hope it will stay like that.


Alun is still plodding along as usual.lol!!


I hope Roly will soon feel a lot better, please give him my best wishes.



Let's hope that your son and his girlfriend can start to talk things over, as you say Mo it's Lilly that you are concerned about. They should also start to think about her too and sort out their differences.



Well I'm going to have a shower now so will speak to you soon.

Take care,

Love, Sallie.xxx

A quick hallo from me. We have been at our daughters from Friday until today, we got home this evening. I took my laptop but their broadband was down all weekend so that was not a lot of good. Lovely to see them and saw one of our Grandsons on Friday evening and one today with his fiancee so that was nice.

Hi all
xxx

No, Mo, don't delete the thread ................ you'll see, everyone will gradually come back.


We've had a lovely stretch of weather here .............. cold nights, but sunny days, so it's been a chance to get out and about before we get the rains.
