Sorry to have missed you yesterday Caz, but like most of us, my clan decided to pop in and out.
I had some lovely gifts, but I am sure they all think I smell, as the girls bought me smellies of some sort or another, and the boys came loaded with flowers, so either way I thought they thought I stunk. lol
Good luck at the hospital tomorrow Caz, get them to listen to you, as you are the one that is having to put up with all the pain, and not them. It's to easy for them to bypass us as it takes up their time, and thats not right is it.

It absolutely glorious here today, the sun is shining, and sitting in the garden is like sitting in a sun trap.
But, Roly is cold, so he has got the fire on, and where I am sweating so much, I keep going outside. See I told you my kids think I stink.lol
I wonder what the weather is like in Wales today, I do hope it's nice for Jean and J.

Got to go and prepare dinner now, so I will speak to you all tomorrow. Love Mo xxx

Oh my word, I am sorry girls, I missed you over on the previous page.
I hope you all enjoyed a lovely Mothering Sunday.

Huia, I told you in the past, when I win the lottery, you will get your air fare, and I will pay for your passport to be renewed as well.
I do need you to sort me drawers out after all. lol

Sylvia, the phone always seems to ring when we are just getting down to looking in on here doesn't it.
And it's so annoying especially if it's taken ages to get on here, and we have to close down, or the internet closes itself down whilst we are gassing.

Ann I hope you enjoyed your lunch out. It's so nice to be spoilt isn't it, and even though our children love us, it's special to get the mothers day cards.
Well they mean an awful lot to me anyway, and no doubt everyone else.

Sallie, did you get taken out love? I bet Jennie spoilt you.

Linda, I dare say it was pretty hectic in your house last night, but enjoyable at the same time.
I bet young Sebastion is really taking on his own personality now. They grow so quickly dont they, and if you miss seeing them one week, the next week they seem to have shot up, and changed so much.

I must go now girls, the dinner is waiting for me to prepare it. Love to all Mo xxx

Hi Mo, your lot think you smell nice and want you to stay that way, mine just want me to put weight on.
My ankle is feeling worse so I won't be surprised if I end up with another cast on, it is also swelling up so all I can do is stay in bed with the foot raised.
Jean said she would send me a letter during the week about how it is down there, hope the weather is good for them, I will let you know when it comes.
Glorious sunshine here today but very cold with a wind.
Hubby is peeling the spuds for when tea wants to go on, love mash, in fact he does all the cooking now and turned out to be quite good.
I haven't had a cuppa since my dinner so better go and get one.

Love Caz xx

Caz, how did you get on at the hospital today about your ankle? It has been playing on my mind all day, but I couldn't get on here any sooner.
If your foot is swollen, I am wondering if they will put it in another cast, they may decide against it love.
I just hope they can do something about it though, as you shouldn't have to put up with the amount of pain you have had lately.

Well girls, we have had another glorious day today. I sat in the garden for a while earlier,and watched the birds, ooh it was soo peaceful.

I am cheating today, our dinner is a M+S Cumberland pie, mmmmm lovely.
All I need to do is pop it in the oven, and heat some beans to go with it. Look out wind here I come. lol

Bye for now my friends, speak to you tomorrow. But I will pop back later to see if there is any news from Caz. Love Mo xxx

All I have done today is spend money, or so it seems. OH had to go to the dentist for an impression, then we did the weekly shop. After lunch we have been to the garden centre buying more plants and three lots of compost.

Caz, hope you got on OK, let us know the outcome.

Hi Mo and Ann, I didn't get there, I felt unwell when I woke up and I can't go tomorrow as there is a man coming about asbestos or something in the flats. So it looks like Thursday when I go, I am spending the time in bed with my feet up, OH was creaming my foot last night when he said it's all a big bruise round the left side and round to the other, oh heck. I'll let you know what happens when I go, thanks for thinking about me, it helps believe me.
I also only come on here about 5ish most days then close for Emmerdale.

Love Caz x

Hi All
Lovely day here too.

The decorator finished painting the outside, who would have thought that possible in March.

We too went to the garden centre Ann I got some pansies, violas, primula, and aubretia also a couple of packets of seeds. I have planted some of the pansies and primula in a trough in our porch. It is very cheering.

Baby grandson is growing. Now he has baby gaviscon for the reflux he is keeping much more milk down and gained twelve and a half ounces in one week. Having worried his Mum at the clinic by telling her he wasn't gaining enough !! Blasted figures, why does everyone have to conform.

Hope tomorrow is another nice one will get some more gardening done hopefully.

Linda xxx <3 <3 <3

Oh Caz what a shame you didn't make to the hospital. Dont forget to keep that foot elevated love, and get to the hospital A.S.A.P.
Asbestos in your flats is not good is it. There are a lot of schools that are finding it as well.
Years ago the dangers were not known were they.
When Chatham Dockyard was open,it used to repair submarines, and so many men have suffered from asbestosis in recent years, because of it,many losing their lives through it.

Oh not more expense Ann. Our teeth are a pain coming, and a pain going, plus cost us an arm and a leg inbetween times. lol
Was it Sylvias, OH who had all the dental treatment done last year? or was it T.

Linda, have you done the inside, and outside of your house this year. It seems like it has been all go for you both.
With you and Ann talking about the bedding plants, it's making me wonder if I should get to Dobbies and buy more. But I am a bit afraid in case we get a heavy frost, and it kills them off.

It seems that a lot of new born babies suffer from the reflux these days, I know baby Lilly did.
And honestly, the health visitor frightened the life out of S, when she said that baby was not gaining enough weight quick enough.
I would like to know where the book that they learn all this is stored. No two babies are the same, but they seem to use the same guide lines for them all.

Night Night god bless everyone. Love Mo xxx

Hi all


we had some s**w yesterday morning :-0

It was only a few flakes at our hour, but OH was in another part of the city and said they had 2-3 cm there!


AND ............ it is now officially SPRING!!!!!



Mo .... it was my OH who had all that expensive dental treatment last year ............... and he had to go back to one of the dentist's last month because he had an abcess under one of the crowns! She drilled a little hole in the crown, drained the abscess and packed it with antibiotics. He went back yesterday and she did the root canal and filled the hole in the crown. Do hope that was the last!!!


We have that same "baby's not gaining enough weight" "syndrome" over here .................. but they are now taking another look at the tables that they use, Those tables were, I think, developed in the US some years ago.


BUT we have millions of Chinese and Japanese people living here, some new immigrants, but a lot are 4th and 5th generation.

They are tiny compared to North Americans .......... yet they were being told that baby was small at birth, baby was not gaining enough weight, etc etc. And this has gone on for years.


Finally .............. someone has realised that small babies are probably natural for certain ethnic groups!

Snow Sylvia!!!! Please keep it there.

Mo it is still too cold to put bedding plants outside. Ours stay in the conservatory and greenhouse until we go to Tenerife and then we keep our fingers crossed for a month!!
T has had some dental treatment in the past year, we both have but this time he had a brace behind his front teeth work loose and the teeth are too unstable to have it replaced so he has to have his lower front teeth out and a denture in I think the total cost is around £400. *gulp!

Caz, sorry you couldn't make it to the hospital today, I hope you feel

well enough on Thursday. :-)

Linda, pleased to hear baby is putting on weight now. Yes the fine weather certainly makes us want to get out into the garden doesn't it?

Going to hospital tomorrow as the man came this morning about the asbestos, we are ok as it happens. My foot is swollen even more so definitley need to have it seen to, it's hurting as well more, I think they should have x-r\yed it when they took the cast off to make sure it was ok,, I don't think they would have taken it off then.
Oh snow Sylvia, we had hailstones the other day but we can do without snow. Oh has turned up with tea, a quick fish and chips as time has run out.

See you all later.

Love Caz xx

My goodness Sylvia, SNOW.... yuk, you can keep it, we definately dont want it.
Ah, I was right Sylv it was your OH who had all that treatment done on his gnashers.
I can't understand why they didn't do the root canal treatment, before they put the crowns in. Bless him he must have been in agony with the abcess.
And to think how much all that treatment cost him in the first place, it's disgusting.

Ann, I think I will wait to put my plants in. You will have to give me a reminder a little before you go off to Tenerife, so that I can buy them in readiness.
We don't have a greenhouse, but we do have a shed. It doesn't get very warm in there though, so I may be defeating the whole object if I get them now.
Lordy Lordy , £400 for T's teeth to be done. Is that private dental care, or NHS?

Good luck for tomorrow Caz, I will be thinking of you when you are at the hospital.
Dont take no truck from them love, get them to sort things out for you.

Night god bless all. Love Mo xxx

Caz, good luck at the hospital tomorrow.

Mo our dentist is part private part NHS. That is the fees are lower than full private and higher than NHS.

Hello everyone,

Thought I'd just have a quick look in to see how you all are. I had trouble getting on to GR yesterday, I tried several times to log in, but for some reason the site wouldn't let me, so gave it up as a bad job in the end.lol!!

Caz, good luck at the hospital tomorrow, hope they can get it sorted for you. Good to hear that there was no problem in your flat with asbestos.


It's very late now so will look in again tomorrow.


Love, Sallie.xxx

This morning I went to town to do a bit of shopping, then this afternoon I did some carpentry, making a couple of stands to go on the table for my computer and monitor. I havent finished them yet, but it shouldnt take long now. The worst part was finding bits of suitable wood in the racks where Phil put all the bits and pieces. I have sawn bits on the circular saw and drilled holes with his electric drill as the timber is so hard that the nails were bending.

I have put photos on my facebook page of the big trailer that overturned on our road yesterday, spilling lots of road metal down the bank, and holding up 3 logging trucks with trailers (all loaded with logs). Also a photo taken on our wedding day and another taken yesterday afternoon (which is my avatar). If anybody wants to see my FB page just PM me.

Huia.

Hi girls, I didn't go to the hospital today, I forgot the district nuurse was coming for my monthly blood pressure check, of course it is up so she will keep her eye on it.
I am going tomorrow to get my ankle looked at, please keep fingers crossed it is ok and just needs rest, although it doesn't feel that way. I am spending more time in bed with it up yet it's not feeling any better and very swollen now as is my foot. No problem with asbestos in any of the flats, thank goodness.
Right, I am off for my tea now, see you all later.

Love Caz xx

Best wishes for your hospital visit tomorrow, Caz. I hope your ankle can be fixed PDQ.

Huia.

Thanks all, I will get there as early as I can then have it looked at, it still feels broken to me it hurts so much but we will see tomorrow.
Huia that's a lovely photo of you and Phil.

Love Caz xx

Caz, hope all goes well for you tomorrow, I will be thinking about you
Sending you lots of hugs and positive thoughts.



Huia, you really are good to be able to do all that carpentry, I wouldn't even know where to start, so well done to you.



Mo, how are things with you and your family? Hope your son has heard from the hospital by now and at least got an appointment with the Consultant very soon.


Sylvia, hope we don't get any of your snow coming this wayLOL!!



Linda, good to hear that all is well with you and your family and that your baby grandson is doing so well. Bless him.


Ann, how long is it before you and T go to Tenerife?



Jean if you are looking in, hope you and Jeff are enjoying your week in Llandudno and that you are having some good weather.


Joyce, how are you doing? Have you made anymore cards lately?
I've decided to have a break from making cards for a while, as I need to concentrate on doing some more family research. I joined Ancestry
this evening , it's a few years since I was last a member so hope it hasn't changed too much and will be easy to use.



We haven't heard from Marie for a while, hope she's alright.


Well ladies, I'll say bye for now, speak to you all soon.


Take care everyone.


Love, Sallie.xxx
