Well we are home, had a lovely break, hotel was very good and the weather stayed mostly fine although cold. Had a slight shower while shopping Sunday. South Pacific was OK, Not what we'd call a sparkling show and not one I would want to see again. Samantha Womack was really good as Nellie but I didn't much like the person who played Emille, I didn't warm to him as the character and didn't hink his voice was right for the part - too deep and gravelly. The trouble is it was a great film and the stage show seemed to lack the scenery to make it atmospheric.

Shopping in Bristol was very good and this morning we went to the Mall at cribbs Causeway with the bif M&S so that was good too.

Mo I am confused as to the message about my BiL as I don't have one.

Well look at that, my laptop is still working, but will have to take it back soon, but today is far to cold to go up there. It's a good 30 minute drive from home, but I cant be bothered to venture out at the moment.

Sorry for the confusion Ann, I was thinking of Sallies brother in law. My mind is on everything but what it should be just lately.
Samantha Womack was interviewed on one of our local t.v stations not long ago, and they showed her singing a tune from the show.
I think I would find it hard to adjust to someone singing the songs in the show, having seen the film years ago. It's just not the same is it.
I wouldn't be able to see the show of the Sound of Music either,without comparing it to the film. I was taken up to London to see it on the big screen, by my parents when I was younger, and Julie Andrews played her role so well.
Thank you for the lovely card Ann.

Sylvia, if it wasn't for the grandchildren, I dont know if I would bother with the decorations either. But the young ones get us in the proper christmas spirit.
I am sure you will have a wonderful time with your friends on the island.
We are going to our local Golf Club this new years eve, with two of our daughters and their families. We went last year as well, and had a fabulous evening.

Betty, I am sorry to hear of your bad news. God willing the new year will be kinder to us all. Take care my love.

I hope to be able to speak to you all tomorrow.
Sallie, I have got darts tonight, so keep your fingers crossed for me please.
I wont ask you to cross anything else as it gets mighty uncomfortable, lol ;-)

Bye my friends, Love Mo xxx

Glad the card got there Mo, fingers crossed for darts tonight.

Ann, pleased to hear that you both had a lovely weekend in Bristol, and that you are home safely.

Thank you for your Christmas card it arrived this morning.




Mo thank you for your Christmas card too, I did thank you on the last page but not sure if you read it or not.


Good luck with the darts match tonight keeping my fingers crossed for you.




Sylvia, apart from the stiffness under your arm I'm glad to know that you are making a good recovery. Hope the tweaking and the stiffnes will soon go too.


I must go now but will speak to you all soon.



Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx

I didnt put up my Christmas tree last year and I wont bother this year either. I was going to take it to the Hospice shop to be sold, but I am not sure where it is - either up in the attic or in the 'junk' room buried under a lot of other stuff. I think I will leave it until next year.

I must sort out my receipts today so I can put in the insurance claim for my camera.

Huia.

Hello Girls,

It's very quiet on here. Where are you all? Mind you it is a busy time of year a lot of people.


Mo, how did your darts match go last night? Hope your team did well .

Is it tomorrow the 7th that Roly has to go for his kidney scan...or have I got it wrong? If so, hope it all goes well for him.



Ann, I have a few more cards for the blog, if you would like them and also will have to take some photos of a few more.




I haven't made any cards or done much of anything at all over the last few days as I haven't felt too good. Anyway, I've seen the doctor and I have a chest infection and also a bit of pleurisy...he's given me a five day course of double strength antibiotics, so I hope that they will sort it out.




Jean, if you are looking in, I hope that you and the family are all alright.
It seems a while since we heard from you.



Marie, also hope that all is well with you and your family too.



Also hope that all our other friends on here are alright too.


Well I must go and help Alun to sort our dinner out now as he's decided to cook it tonight ( wonders never cease ) so will speak to you all again soon.



Love, Sallie.xxx

Yes Mo how did you do?

Sallie, send them when youa re ready, any time.

Jean is OK busy with shopping for Christmas but still not coming on here for now because of her PC problem.

Sorry to report that we lost the team game 4-2, but we won the pairs 3-0 girls, so no disaster really.
My friend Eve and I, were told last night that three members of the Monday darts team will not be playing next year, so it looks like the two of us will be hopefully be going to a new team, yippeeeee.
I was approached by the opposition last night, to play for them next season, so I will wait and see.

Yes Sallie, it's tomorrow evening that Roly has to have his scan. But the latest news is, that the doctor now thinks it could be his postrate,and not stones after all, so he has to get another kind of scan done as well.
They discovered blood in the last urine sample that he did, but it is not visible to the eye, so he would have been unaware that he was passing it.
Oh boy, it never rains but it pours down on us, doesn't it.
The doctor has told him that the new appointment should be done within two weeks, and if it's not, he has to phone her and she will chase it up.
Thanks goodness you went and saw the doctor Sallie, and got the ant-biotics to clear the chest infection up. You definately dont want full blown pleurasy (sp) just before christmas.

Thanks for letting us know that our Jean is o.k Ann. She's such a worry to me bless her, and I luvs her to bits.

Many thanks for the lovely cards Jean and Linda, they arrived in todays post. We have received quite a lot already, and I think folks had the same idea as myself, and that is to get them away as quickly as possible, in case they get lost in the post.

It has been very very cold here today, I just hope and pray we don't get any of the white stuff, yuk. I am going out to a christmas meal on Friday night, and am hoping to wear a dress with shoe string straps, but if it's thick with snow, I shall be wearing my thermals,and my fur lined boots instead of sandals. lol

Well my friends, I will speak to you tomorrow. Take good care of yourselves. Love and best wishes Mo xxx

Hi girls, I have come on to say that Jean is having trouble with her computer, we have to 'talk' on e-mail every day, I will be glad when it's fixed.
Sylvia I am glad your arm is feeling better, the stiffness will go in time but mine seemed to take forever before I could lift my arm up, and I only had a wide excision.
We haven't heard from Marie for a while hope you are ok Marie if you look in.
Sally, Mo and Ann thank you for your cards, I really must get a move on and get mine done.
Tea is ready so better go.

Hope you are all well

Mo, I hope that all goes well for Roly tomorrow and that they won't keep him hanging about before the next scan he has to have. As you say, ' it never rains but it pours '. Please pass on my best wishes to Roly.

Sorry that your team lost last night, but pleased to hear that you and your friend Eve won the pairs.

It's very cold here today too, so will have to dig out some of my warm jumpers.


Yes Mo I had to see the doctor about the problems, as years ago when Jennie was three I had a bad chest infection with pleurisy which turned into pneumonia, so I don't want that again. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the antibiotics will clear the infection.

Michael had two teeth out yesterday, he had been in agony all over the weekend, so he had to have the day off. He's gone to work today but Jennie says that his face is still aching....I just hope that he covers his mouth when he's outside as he doesn't want the cold to get into his mouth and cause him more problems.



Caz, thanks for letting us know that about Jean's computer problems.
When we don't see one of our friends for a while we start to wonder if everything is OK with them.

I'm sorry I still can't send any pm's, but as soon as I can, I will send you one.


Well, girls I'll speak to you tomorrow.



Love and best wishes to you all. Sallie.xxx

I hope all goes well for Roly tomorrow Mo and with the further scan.
shame you didn't win but you won the pairs so well done. Hope you get into a good team.

Sallie hope the antiBs work quickly for you.
Caz, glad you got yhr card, as I said before don't worry if you can't get your cards done, we do understand.

Hi Girls,

I know I've already sent good wishes to Roly for his scan today, but just thought a few extra special good wishes wouldn't come amiss.Hope it all goes well for him. Will be thinking about him.


Love,Sallie.xxx

Adding my good wishes for Roly. Hope the scan goes OK.

Thank you for the Christmas card Mo. Glad you got yours.

Hubby is cooking Christmas dinner for friends coming today. Turkey and all the trimmings as we are having fore rib of beef on Christmas day.

Have a good day everyone

Linda xxx <3 <3 <3

Hope Rolys scan went alright Mo and that there is nothing to worry about.
Sallie my pm thread is not working either so I can't send any out, I wish they would hurry up and get it sorted, it's coming up time when I renew but I'm wondering if it is worth it, it's not like it used to be. There again I keep in touch with all my friends on here so I suppose I will.

Caz x

Linda, enjoy your turkey dinner tonight when your friends visit. Hope all goes according to plan.


Caz, like you I'm fed up of not being able to send pm's and wish that GR will soon get it sorted. I'm also wondering if it's worth bothering to renew my membership, but like you I would miss keeping in touch with all our friends.



Love, Sallie.xxx

I have sent a couple of PMs recently, and received one, so it is working for me. My membership is due for renewal soon and I will be continuing. I enjoy seeing what everybody is up to and what the weather is like elsewhere.

Huia.

Hi all
xxx

I cannot send pms when I use IE ...... mind you, I use the IE6 which is way out of date


I have to use Mozilla Firefox, and then I can send pms


Another contact cannot send pms with either Chrome or Firefox, but can send them with IE (not sure whether she has IE7 or IE8)



GR says they are working on it.






I hope that Roly's scan went well.

Hi Girls,

Sylvia, Caz and Mo I have managed to send the three of you a pm...the problem is whether you will receive them.lol!! Hope so!


Love, Sallie.xxx

On the announcements board Phil explains that the message board problems have had to wait until everything else is sorted. Having said that, other than having to wait ages each time for things to happen I can receive and send messages with no problem (firefox 8).

I got your pm Sallie :-D


and ahve replied to it!




Ann ................. Phil has said elsewhere that he is working on the Messages problem, while other programmers are trying to sort out the problem.

He has also said that the Message Centre problems are a priority for him.


we can but hope!
