Good luck for tomorrow Caz.

Sallie, we go to Tenerife the last week of April.

As a teenager I helped my parents to build a house. When Phil and I had been married about a year he suggested that we buy a bit of land from a local farmer and build a house, taking our time about it, so that we did not need to get a mortgage. It took us 12 years of spare time and spare cash. We did have holidays in that time and brought up 2 children, and it was well worth the work we put in. I also helped Phil with other handyman things. As a result of all of this I know my way around the tools etc.

Huia.

Hello everyone we are back , after a very nice break (or beak as my mate Mo says)...lol...the sun shone and it was very pleasant, so much so we have provisionally booked to go back in Sept, I managed to get to the craft shop , and Sallie it was a great dissapointment , looks like its closing down or else they are having a massive sort out, only spent a few pounds.... went with the intention of spending a lot more!!!

Jean, nice to see you home again......glad to hear that you and Jeff had a good week in Llandudno
A bit disappointing for you Jean, with not being able to get some of the craft stuff you were hoping to get. It sounds as though they might be closing, but you would think that they would have a notice up letting their customers know the situation.




Beautiful day here today, lovely and warm and sunny, hope it continues for a while.

I seen the doctor this earlier this afternoon, he's pleased that I am doing alright on the new tablets, so for the time being I carry on taking the same dosage. I'm still waiting to hear about an appointment
for Counselling, I know there is a six to eight week waiting list, so don't suppose I'll hear anything for a couple of weeks yet.



Caz, I'm wondering how you got on at the hospital today. Hope they were able to sort out the problem with your foot for you.


Ann thanks for letting me know about Tenerife, I thought for some reason that you were going a couple of weeks earlier.



Mo, hope you are okay. Have you started on your gardening yet?

Alun and I have decided to try and grow some tomatoes, runner beans and potatoes. It's many years since we grew any vegetables
so don't know if we'll have any luck growing them now.lol!! We'll wait and see!



Huia, if I could do half of what you can, I would be very pleased. I'm alright doing the decorating, but to make or repair anything using a drill, saw etc. I would be totally useless.



Sylvia, how is your little grandson getting on these days. It seems a long while since we've heard about him. Hope he and his mum and dad are all ok.



Hello to Linda, Joyce, and Marie.Hope you are all OK.



Well girls I must make our dinner now, so will speak to you all later.



Take care everyone.



Love, Sallie.xxx

Good to see Jean back, glad you had a nice break but sad about the craft shop, hope it isn't closing.

Sallie pleased that the tablets are working. You might pick up some tips on the gardening thread, there is usually somebody on there who can answer questions.

Yes it's good to see Jean back. I didn't go to the hospital this morning as I started to walk on it normally last night and I don't have much pain now, so I thought I would leave it till over the weekend and see how it is then.I have put up with it all week so another two days won't make any difference, they told me to go back in two weeks from now didn't have an appointment as such. Sylvia I could do without the snow so keep it over there, it was about 20c here today much too warm from being so cold a few days ago, 78 in the flat with all the windows open, phew.
Sally glad you are feeling better keep on taking the tablets.

Love Caz xx

Hello girls,
Just a quick message on my sons laptop, to let you know that my laptop has gone in for repair,so I wont be on here for a few days till I get it back.
Take care everyone,love Mo xxx

Caz, glad to hear that you have started walking better on your foot and that it's a lot less painful than it's been. Just take care though, you don't want it to go back to how it was.
You must feel uncomfortabe with the temperature at 78 in your flat, even with all the windows open.

Ann, yes that might be an idea to look in on the gardening thread, I'm sure there'll be someone there that can give us some advice. Is Shaun on the gardening thread? I know he is keen gardener and grows a lot of his own veg.


I'll say goodnight now, speak to you all tomorrow.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Hi all, OMG it's even hotter than yesterday, all windows open and it's 82c in the room, we have all the blinds down but it doesn't make any difference. If it keeps on like this and we don't get any rain we will definately have a drought.
My ankle seems to be getting better but I have a lovely big bruise, looks like my heel is dirty, lol. I have to have it x-rayed next week before I see the doc, it seems to have been a long job..
Hope you are feeling a bit better Sally.

See you all later.

Love Caz xx

Hello All
got my results back from my blood tests today not good ,our docter as some of you may know does not speak english so hubby has to tell me what he says well first he gave me my letter for x-ray on my hip but then told Jan not to make appointment because of my blood and vit D is very low ,then he said to Jan your wife is brave lady i ask Jan what he mean,nt and he said its your blood anyway he has sent aletter off to the hospital for me to get appointment but it may be my kidneys ,also one of my nurses has said that i have had mini stroke which i know nothing about,so will have to wait and see what happens
Waves to everyone Sallie keep taking the tablets
Love Dutchxx

Good afternoon ladies,

Had problems getting onto any threads on here yesterday. I tried several times so gave it up in the end. I know other members had the same problem as I did, each time I clicked on a thread the only think I got was the Error message each time.



Mo, hope they have managed to fix your laptop? Hope it won't to long before it is ment...... we miss seeing you on here.

Has your son heard anything about an appointment at the hospital yet? They seem to be taking their time about it, still, I suppose that's normal these days throughout the UK.

How is Lilly getting on? I hope that she is OK. I bet she's into everthing now.lol!!! Oh they are lovely at that age, it's great to watch them. Sending her lots of hugs and kisses!!!!!!



Caz, glad to hear that your ankle is feeling a lot better, maybe that now the bruising is coming out it it will continue to improve.

Yes thank you, I feel a good bit better than I've been feeling, but this virus that both Jennie and I have had over the last couple of weeks haven't helped.

I've had problems with my eyes being very red and sore, and also for the first time in my life I've suffered with earache, the doctor tells me that it's all caused by a virus that's going around.
The Consultant at the hospital has put Jennie on a course of steroids, she is now suffering from a Crohn's flare up, which all the doctors seem to think is also caused by a virus.



Sylvia, glad to hear that you and OH are both alright. Let's hope that MJ will soon get rid of his colds once and for all and also his mum and dad.
My father-in-law always reckoned that if he picked up a cold off a child it was always worse than if he had picked it up from an adult. It alawys took longer to get better.
Sending MJ lots of hugs and kisses!!!!



Joyce, now that we are all having this lovely weather you will have to sit out in the daylight a bit more, that will help with your vitamin D.
If you have a table outside you coul perhaps make a couple of cards while you are sitting there.
Hope the hospital will soon be able to sort out the problem with your kidneys. Will be thinking about you.



Ann, hope you and T are both OK. I expect you have both been busy with the gardening over the last few days, with all the lovely weather we have been having.



Linda, hope everyone in your family are all alright I expect your grandson is coming along in leaps and bounds now, bless him. Sending him lots of hugs and kisses.!!!


Jean, how are you and Jeff since you are home from your holiday?
Hope Jeff managed all the driving he had to do without any problems.
Also hope that things are going along alright for Debra.



Huia and Marie, hope all is well with both of you and your families.



Well I must go now, have a couple of jobs to do, so will speak to you all soon.


Take care everyone.


Love, Sallie.xxx
