Nice to read some good news , Ann so pleased for your daughter and also you and the family too...thank you for putting the cards on and the nice comment too....
Sylvia, sorry I missed your birthday ,but I see you enjoyed it , hope you are continuing to improve......xx
Huia your avatar is lovely , wow great grandma, I wonder if I will ever get to be one, fingers x
Sallie we had a new heating system a couple of years ago, it was worth it though and I am sure it will be for you too...
Mo, I was like you D always went to bed at a set time and we had no problem , unlike the noisy one next door her little boy is running about at 11 or 12 every night and then they sleep until late afternoon...while our little friend on the other side goes to bed early but always wakes up and finishes in mummys bed ,,,, big mistake I think....children need a routine , bit like our OH s well sometimes they are like kids....lol....
YC hope its good news for you when you go for a check up tomorrow, xxx
hope Marie is ok, and also all our other friends who come on here , Linda will be sunning herself by now I should think, hope she has a lovely time...
well I am off to get me hair done so will see you all soon , take care ,
love Jean xxx

Morning Girls,

Caz, keeping my fingers and toes crossed that your check up will go well for you tomorrow. I will be thinking about you and sending lots of positve thoughts.


Jean, I'm sure we will have the benefit once the new boiler is in.....it's a shame we have to have the mess while having it installed.lolol!!

Please could you send me some of your enthusiasm for making cards.lol!! I bought some new bits and pieces just before Christmas, ready to make birthday cards, but as yet, can't get started.

I also want to get on with doing some more family research, keep thinking to join Ancestry again, but it's the cost that's putting me off.
What with the cost of having the car done in August and now the boiler, I'm a bit wary about spending any money.lol!! Especially if it's something that we can do without.
Oh well, I'm sure it will all get sorted one day.


Well I must go and make a cuppa for the workers now, so will look in later.


Take care everyone and have a good day.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Sallie, every card maker gets a block now and then, I make myself do just one card and that seems to set me off again.... but it will come back to you, I watch the craft sites and see whats new then see if I can copy them and use up any card stock I have sometimes it works sometimes not but the fun is in the trying...I have some A4 blank cards and I dont usually like big cards, so I see how I can cut them down, on Anns blog there are two I made out of one card, just cut it in half back of it made one card and the front the other....D had a box of soaps and talc for christmas and the front was a cut out so that made the other card, and I now have some ideas for more , it always works .... so pet you will soon be at it again....lol....do put them on the blog when you make them ....
love Jean xx

Jean, thanks for the encouragement, I am sure that I will start doing them again, just got to try and get interested At the moment I don't even want to watch the Craft programmes which I normally enjoy and don't even want to buy or look at a craft magazine. Sorry I'm being an old misery.lol!!


I'll speak later.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Oi, you, Mrs Sallie, pull your finger out girl, you know you lurve making your cards really. You are just having a quiet time at the moment, what with everything that is taking over your time ,and patience. Once the workmen have finished, and the house is back to normal, you will soon get back to it again.
You are NOT an old misery, so shut it woman.
Hmmmm I feel better for that, ha, I just told Sallie off, but I am like a coward who goes to the dentists, and knocks on the door with a handkerchief over my knuckles, so no one will hear me. lol Luv you Sallie girl, you know I don't mean it nastily.

Right now it's our Jeans turn, I haven't teased her for many a few months now.
Jean, tut tut, how can you say that our OH's are like kids, you know you love to mother Jeff.
But in my case the word mother, could quickly change to smother where Roly is concerned.
He is at the hospital at the moment picking up his hearing aid, oh crikey Jean, he's going to hear me swearing at him under my breath now, please send me suggestions of how to avoid getting into deeper doo doo than I do already.Don't say for me to keep my mouth shut, coz as you know thats an impossability where I am concerned. lol
Seriously though my love, I hope you are all feeling better now that the new year has arrived, and that things improve daily for you.

A great big HELLOOOOO to Caz, Sylvia,Marie, Joyce Huia and all our friends on this thread.
Lets hope Linda is enjoying herself, lazing in the sun.
Special healing prayers and thoughts for Ann and her daughter <3 <3 <3


Love to all. Mo xxx

Duck tape Mo??????

No Jean it will be more DUCK Mo!!! :-D

Mo of course I know you don't mean it. It made me laugh reading it. I'm sure that I will get back into making them but it might take a bit of time.lol!!! As my friend Janet says to me if she is having a bad day,
' Oh, just s- - - t me ', and then we both laugh it off......so there you go girls, you know what to do with me now.lolol!!


It looks as though we won't have the boiler and central heating working until tomorrow....they had an awful job drilling through the bricks in the original part of the house, so it's taken longer than they expected.
We should have remembered from when we had the extension, the builders had the same problem when they had to knock through from the old part to the new.....it also took them a lot longer than they thought it would.
They certainly built houses with good strong bricks in the early 1950's.


Well, I must go and start the dinner now, so I may look in again later.



Take care everyone.


Love, Sallie.xxx

L's radio therapy starts on 6th Feb and lasts for 15 sessions over 3 weeks. So at least she knows where she is now. Should start a week before I think but the Dr is on holiday.

Thanks for letting us know Ann. Hope it will all go well for her with a very good outcome, as I'm sure it will.

Sending her hugs and lots of positive thoughts.

God morning girls, just looking in before we go and do the shopping.

Joyce, nice to see you posting on here after so long. Don't leave it too long before we hear from you again.
Sounds as though you are going to have a jolly time celebrating Jan's 60th and your wedding anniversary.


Caz, keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for you today. Hope all will go well at your usual check up....I will be thinking about you.
Sending you lots of hugs and positive thoughts. <3 <3 <3


Hope everyone else is ok. Going shopping now, so will speak to you all later.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Joyce, I thought the card was beautiful, but please dont spend time and money on cards for me. The wishes on the boards are sufficient, now that I know what beautiful work you ladies can do.

It is so lovely to see you posting on here. Give Jan a big hug and kiss from me for his birthday. He is just a youngster.

Huia.

Hi Girls,

I have also asked on Shaun's ( the Wales ) thread if any of you good gardners can please suggest and advise me on some shrubs that I can put into tubs, that don't grow more than 3-4 ft. and doesn't spread out too wide either.

I want to hide some of the gas piping that they have had to put on the front of the house. I thought a few tubs would hide it, but of course with neither of us being good at gardening, we are not sure which shrubs will be the best to buy.


Thanks beforehand for any suggestions you can give...they will be most appreciated.


I'll speak to you all later.Going to have some lunch now.



Love, Sallie.xxx

Huia don,t worry about the sending of the cards i like to do it as most of my friends will tell you ,i send cards to everyone and your welcome just finising of my anniversary card to my hubby if my words don,t come out right its the medcation im on i feel as if im in another world LOL,anyway take care everyone Sallie speak to you thru the week
