She can still use it but it's not right Ann

Ah, right. Hope she can get it fixed as it is a bit of a life line to us isn't it?

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy and Healthy New Year.

Take care everyone.


Love Sallie.xxx

I hope everyone is able to enjoy Christmas and that they will have a Very Happy New Year and that it is indeed a better one than it has been for many on here.

Thanks for being my friends all through this last and many past years.

Hi Everyone, happy Christmas to you all. To the people who sent me the beautiful christmas cards, thank you each and every
one.
Take care, enjoy yourselves and stay warm.
Talk soon,
Betty.

Well, well, well girls, thank goodness thats that for one more year.
Coooo I have eaten far to much, and now feel as fat as a porky pig.
We had a wonderful christmas day, surrounded by our family.
Boxing day, was spent clearing the house, and dozing in the armchairs.
Today has not been much different, we both feel so drowsy, it must be catching up with us,after all the tension worrying about if we had forgotten anything. Lets face it, there is probably more than one household in the universe, who celebrate christmas, that forgot something or another.
I am now looking forwards to New Years eve, when we go out with two of our daughters, and our youngest son.
I am just wondering what we should have for dinner tonight. Something simple, and non fattening I think.
Well my friends, I hope you have all had good times, and can't wait to hear how it all went.
Love to you all. Mo xxx

Pleased you had a good Christmas Mo. Ours was quiet but very nice and we too ate far too much. Tonight we have turkey curry. Tomorrow it will be the cold beef. New years Eve we will again be on our own but we don't mind at all.

We had a lovely Christmas Day with all our family. FIL is still staying and we have been for a walk today. My sister in law and her hubby are here tomorrow for lunch. We will take FIL back home on Thursday and have a New Years Eve event to attend in a local hotel on Saturday evening.
So a couple of quiet days before getting ready for some time away finally, after hubby retired in September.............. no time since.

Have a peaceful time everyone unless you are dashing off to the sales...............no not me.

Linda xxx <3 <3 <3 :-) :-) :-) :-)

Mo, glad that you had a lovely Christmas with your family. Like you and Roly we seem to have spent the last two days just dozing. Jennie and Michael came and had their Christmas dinner with us, and then went to Michael's mum and dad's, where we joined them all later on Christmas evening.


Betty, nice to hear from you, I hope that you enjoyed your Christmas too.


Linda, glad to know that you also enjoyed your Christmas Day with all your family.

Hope you enjoy your lunch tomorrow with your sister-in-law, it's really nice to have company.
Have a good journey on Thursday when you take your father-in-law home.



Ann, like you we will be on our own for New Years Eve, but it doesn't bother me as I have never been too keen on celebrating it.

How is your daughter doing? We were away for a couple of days last week, so missed any news that you posted about her. I hope she's doing alright and that any treatment that she has will be a success.



I don't know where all our other friends on here are. I hope that all is well with them.



Love and best wishes.

Hello all. I am here, but feeling sleepy, didnt get enough sleep last night so I might catch up on the settee.

Huia.

Sallie, our daughter is ok, very sore and can't use her left arm. She goes back to see the consultant on Tuesday 3rd when she will know the result of the biopsy of the lymph glands. Then a week later she should start radiotherapy which, I think, is five days a week for 3 weeks.

Hello all you lovely people, hope you all had a great christmas, ours was a quiet one, but at least we were all together ....although we did have quite a few visitors....

Ann, I pray that your daughter will feel better after her check up , and the treatment will be good for her, are you both o.k.? its raining and very windy here, miserable day.... still at least its not like last year ....no snow...soon be time for your first holiday of the new year...

greetings to our friends across the water, hope your christmas was good...

Mo you sound as though your festivities were good fun, I envy you with larger families, but cant change the way things are, so its nice to hear all your news ....

Sallie hope you had a nice time also. and that Jennie is feeling better
.
thanks for all your cards even got one yesterday off Jude , the post is all over the place.....
I have been very good and managed to eat all the chocs I had for christmas...lol... and I had a lot.....so new fresh start for me no more chocs till next year.... I love white chocolate so had a ball.....
now I am clearing all the christmas stuff away not being superstious
I dont wait until the 12th. just glad to see the house look tidy again....
D has gone into work, so almost back to normal.....
Y.C havent forgot you pm sent.....xx
I shall send love and hugs to everyone else and see you soon .
love and prayers Jean xxx

Hi Jean, hopefully we will soon be booking holidays but waiting until after daughter sees the consultant on Tuesday. Until then she doesn't know if she will need chemo, radio therapy or both. Hopefully it will just be RT but it depends on the test results so a worrying waiting time which I seem to be finding worse than she is, but daren't tell her that as she'll accuse me of over-reacting I'm sure.

Pleased to hear that you had a good Christmas even if quiet like ours. Not taking our decs and lights down yet because I like them. And when they are down we are going to decorate the lounge so putting off the day of chaos.

Well ladies, here we are, it's New Years Eve, nearly the start of another year. Can I say to each and everyone of you.
A HAPPY, HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.
If you are going out tonight,please stay safe and warm.
I will speak to you all in the year 2012.
Love and all my very best wishes to you all. Mo xxx

A happy new year to you too Mo and to Jean, Sallie, Huia, Caz, Marie, Marilyn and anyone else who calls in to this thread.

Wishing you all a Happy new Year and I hope it turns out as you would like it to. Anyone going to a party? I am doing my usual and going to bed, nothing much on telly.

Hello ladies,

Just finished typing out a message to you all and it suddenly disappeared, I didn't touch or do anything to it so don't know what happened. So better start again.lol!!


It's been very quiet on here lately, everyone must still be tired after Christmas.
Over the last few days I haven't been too good myself, but I'm sure I'll get over it.lol!! There are a lot of people far worse off than I am, so I won't complain.



Ann, I will be thinking of your daughter when she gets her results next Tuesday, the 3rd January. Sending her and all of you lots of positive thoughts and hope that any treatment she has to have will be a complete success.

Hope you and T will enjoy the New Year as best you can with worrying about your daughter.






Mo. how are things with you and Roly? I hope that he is feeling a lot better now with no more trouble.

Hope you will both enjoy your New Year night out with some members of your family. All of you enjoy and take care.



Huia, hope that you are alright. Have you already celebrated the New Year in NZ?
Hope you have company to celebrate the New Year with....just wondering if your son and daugter-in-law are still on holiday near you and that perhaps you are able to spend the New Year with them.

Hope you find Phil more responsive when you go to visit him over the holiday. Take care.









Caz, like you Alun and I will be at home for the New Year, although we will stay up and see the New Year in.
I don't mind being at home for it, not too keen on celebrating it.....much prefer Christmas.
I hope you are feeling better than you've been lately. I will be thinking of you.





Linda, hope you and OH will enjoy the New Year event at the hotel near you. There's something to be said for retirement. it's nice to be able to go somewhere and not have to worry about having to go to work the next day.lol!!





Jean, nice to hear from you, glad to hear that you are alright....apart from your computer playing up.

Thank you for asking, Jennie is doing okay at the moment, as long as she stays off fatty foods she's alright. although she gets her times like over Christmas where she has something nice to eat, such as cake and chocs, and although she doesn't ever have too much of them, she pays the price afterwards. I know it must be hard for staying off some of the things that she enjoys eating.

Hope Debra is going along OK and not having any problems either.



Sylvia, not sure if you are back from your Christmas in Vancouver Island.....hope you and OH had a lovely time with all your friends.

Hope all is going well for you and that you are now feeling a lot better and still making a good recovery after your op. Thinking about you.





We haven't heard from Tess for a long while. Tess if you are looking in I hope all is well with you and I want to say thank you for your Christmas card.





Jude, I hope you enjoyed your birhday and that you and Vic had a good time staying with your daughter and her family. Also hope Madoc is OK.




Betty, hope all is well with you. Thank you for your Christmas card, I hope you got mine OK.
It's nice to see you posting on here, hope we'll see more of you in the the new year.




Marie, if you are looking in, hope all your family problems will be sorted very soon and that you are welll.Take care.




Joyce, also hope we'll see you back on here in the new year. Hope all your family problems will also soon be sorted and that you will feel a lot better.




Well ladies, I'm going to have some lunch now so will speak to you all in 2012.


I want to wish you all a Very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year. Hope it will be better for all of us.


Take care.


Love and Best Wishes. Sallie.xxx

Hi everyone
xxx

We've been back from the Island for a couple of days, but have been busy.

We had a great time over there .............. quiet, but great food, good conversation, and a lot of laughs. Christmas dinner was a lot of fun.


I shall be glad to see the end of 2011 ................. a lot of good things happened, but all overshadowed by the cancer diagnosis in August. Thankfully, I need no further treatment, and arm movement is back to about 95+%, so I am doing good :-D

I think of Ann and her daughter, who is waiting for the results of the pathology. I hope the diagnosis, and results of treatment, will be as good as mine.


We still have about 9 hours to go before midnight here, but ................



HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE
xxxx



May 2012 be a good year for all of us.
