hello mo, its rained solid here for 2 days im beginning to grow fins

im not on as much as i have demands from the queen to make 49 thou jubilee bracelets lol, actually i am making some, all i see is red white and blue so having a rest xx

how is everyone, my feet are cold so ive just put them in my feet warmer to find dog biscuits in them, oh well not my flavour .



:-D

Hi girls,

Sorry I haven't been on here for a while.... I've not been feeling too good and then yesterday I pulled a muscle again , only this time in the right lower part of my chest. Think I need just putting down.lol!!!

Mo, how are you and Roly? I hope that you are both alright. I've been wondering how your son is getting on. Has he been to see the Consultant at the hospital yet?

Oh, the weather has been awful here, it poured down nearly all day yesterday and windy too. I got soaked walking back home after seeing the Counsellor and had to change the trousers I was wearing, they were soaked through......so pulled the muscle as I was changing them.

If I remember rightly, it must be coming up to the end of the darts season soon......hope you and your team have had a few wins.



Caz, hope your ankle is feeling better and not causing you too much discomfort. Has Phil gone back to work yet? If he has, I bet you are missing him.



Puss, how are things with you now, hope all went well for you at the hospital last week.

You certainly sound as though you have been busy making bracelets.
I haven't seen them yet, so will have to look at them on Ann's craft site.


Hope all our other friends on here are okay.


Ann, hope you and T have a good holiday. Take care.


I'll say goodnight to you all now, take care of yourselves.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Hi Sallie have got 3 more appointment left then docs , so not much longer for 4 months

sorry to hear you have been unwell hope you feel better soon

Ann hope you have a lovely holiday

hello all xxxx :-D

Hello everybody. It is raining fairly hard here. We have had a lot of fine weather up until today. A few days ago I cleaned out the filter that takes water from the roof down to our tank, because last time it rained the filter tank overflowed. I have become a DIY person. Not that I mow the lawns, I pay to have that done.

I must sort out the newspapers and cardboard for our monthly recycling tomorrow. I just throw them into a big box during the month but now I need to tie them up neatly in bundles. No more playing on the computer until I have finished. :-(

Huia.

Hello girls,

Hope you are all okay today. It's very quiet on her, we must all be short of news.lol!!


Mo, I've sent you a pm, hope you get it okay.


Puss, thank you, not quite so painful today, thank goodness.

Hope your appointments at the hospital will be okay, and that you will soon feel a lot better than you do now.


Huia, you certainly have become good at DIY, wish I could whip up some enthusiasm to do some here.
Hope things are okay with Phil.



Speak to you all later.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Hello girls, Sally it's nice to hear from you again, I hope your muscle gets better soon. I haven't been on myself lately as I haven't felt too well and kept thinking, oh I'll write later. I went to see doc about my ct scan on Wed and she said it's perfect, nothing wrong at all, thank goodness, or as OH said, I do have a brain after all, cheeky. The thing is, I have to go for another one now to see if it will show up why I am forgetting everything.
The weather here has been awful, rain and hail but no wind yet, today it is nice and sunny but perishing cold.
My OH did our papers last night, it's surprising how they mount up, ours come for them every week.
I miss Jean on here, looked forward to seeing her every day, she wrote to me during the week but I find it hard to write with arthritis in my hands, if you are reading this Jean, I'll be in touch when I can.
Well I shall go and make a cuppa and take some painkillers, I have awful toothache where I banged it when I fell and broke my ankle, dentist visit is called for I think.

Love Caz.

Just to make you all feel better, although yesterday was gorgeous, today it has poured all day here in Tenerife. We did manage to pop down to the local restaurant for coffee and a read of the English paper this morning, got a bit wet but then managed to get the shopping and get back home before it really rained. Apparently they hadn't had rain here for ages!!!!

To make things more aggravating, with weather like this it affects the wireless connection so we keep losing the internet.

hello Ann, i havent ventured past the door today it hasnt stopped

hope you get better weather how unlucky to get the same weather.xx

Hello everyone,
Oooh I am sooo pleased to hear from you all, it was getting very lonely on here, and I thought you had all deserted me, boo hoo....lol

Dare I tell you, we have had a glorious day today, no rain at all, sunshine all the way. But I bet it rains tomorrow, as I have got washing to catch up with.

Puss, well done on getting the order for making 49 thousand bracelets, is this by Royal Appointment, or are you pulling my leg. lol Thats certainly going to keep you busy love, you will be seeing red, white and blue every time you close your eyes.
Have you got the help of other people to make them, or are you having to do them all yourself.?
It's good they are weaning off the drugs slowly, they take a long time to clear through your system.

Hello Ann, sorry to hear your holiday has not started off to well ,with you having taken the wet weather away with you.
It's bound to clear up soon, and you will get your lovely Tenerife tan soon.
Enjoy yourself my love, and dont have to much of the falling down liquid, we don't want to hear that you have had any mishaps. Take care of yourself.

Caz, what lovely news that your scan results were good.
Forgetting things is normal in this house, we are both as bad as each other.
Will this be an MRI scan, or a CT scan that you have to have next? Try not to worry about it my love.
Roly had to have both done, after his brain bleed. I asked them if they were sure they were scanning the right end, as I always thought his brains were covered by his underwear. ( In his btm)

Huia we shall have to have a collection to get you a tool belt, with all this DIY you are doing.
Did you have to get up a ladder to clean the filter out? It's funny, but I can't climb up long ladders now, I no longer have a head for heights.
When I think I used to climb up 60 rung ladders into cherry trees, I certainly couldn't do it now. I get giddy just thinking about it. lol

Hi there Sallie. Many thanks for your p.m, I have sent you a reply.
I told you not to keep jumping off the wardrobes in the bedroom, no wonder you have hurt your back. (Titter, Titter only joking love) I hope it gets better soon.

I hope I haven't forgotten to reply to anyones posts.

Lets hope we hear from Marie soon. I did have an e.mail from her not long ago.
I just hope she is not lost in her garden amongst all the vegetables she is growing.

Sending love and hugs to Jean, and Joyce who we haven't heard from in a while.
And not forgetting our Sylvia across the water, hoping that she is well.

Take care all. Love Mo xxx

Hello again girls,

Just popping in to wish you all a goodnight, hope you all get a good nights sleep.


Ann, oh dear I was hoping that you hadn't taken some of our British weather with you to Tenerife.lol!! I hope that the rain won't last too long so that both you and T can enjoy some sunshine.



Mo, yes I know you keep telling me not to jump off the top of the wardrobes, but you know what I'm like for not listening to you ......I'll have to stop doing it though as it's very painful when I pull a muscle.lolol!!

How are things going for your son? I hope he's a bit better now and that he's been to see the Consultant at the hospital by now.



Caz, I'm so pleased to hear that your CT scan was perfect, that is good news. I also hope that your next one you have will be as good.
I know some medication can cause people to forget some things, so let's hope that's all it is. Will be thinking about you.



Puss, hope you do well on the stall tomorrow, selling the bracelets you've made. Good luck.



Sylvia, hope you and your family are all okay.


Marie, if you are looking in, I also hope you and your family are alright too.



Well goodnight girls, speak to you all tomorrow.


Love, Sallie.xxx

hiya sallie, you doing anything nice for the weekend, i think there mayby a hereford meet soon, ive forgotten where you have to tavel from , would love to meet you all xx

mo yeh i was telling fibs lol i wish, i have done some for the jubilee, a young lad with downs bought some face paint for it so i gave him a bracelet ahh to see his face bless him, he went round the other stall holders saying he was in the jubilee, it probably only cost 20p it was worth every penny, i popped it in.

thanks again sallie, stall was very quiete not surprised they were all in by the fire, it was freezing ere today, i cant cope with heat but the heating haS GONE ON XXX

Caz, and others on here if you fancied meeting up i have a spare room xxx :-D

Aaah Puss, bless the young lad you gave the bracelet to. It sounds like he was dead pleased with his gift from you. Things like this make us glow with joy doesn't it. Something so small can mean so much to others.
I hope you have warmed up a bit now love, it has been soo cold hasn't it.

Sallie love, my son seems o.k at the moment. But I will be happier after he sees the specialist on the 8th of May.
And as for the wardrobe business, well I have now got rid of ours. The old MFI ones were not very strong, and couldn't take the weight (of my clothes) lol

Well so much for my bragging about our glorious weather yesterday. Todays been flamin awful, pouring with rain, gale force winds, and oh so cold.

Tomorrow we are going to meet our friends for our usual sunday lunchtime, darts match. It's lovely meeting up with everyone, for just a couple of hour relaxation.

See you all tomorrow evening, take care my friends. Love and hugs Mo xxx

MO , just read back, i hope your son will ok, the worrying never ends does it, thankfully my son has settled down really well, he has kind off grown out of the aspergers or he has learnt how to deal with it.

i worry about my youngest, she and a few others in college have been suffering from anxiety, guess a lot of it is exams and things, thankfully sjhe does confide in me.

hope you have a great time tomorrow, when we were running the pup we would be playing darts and various games, such fun

me and my friend got banned from drinking vodka on match night as we were a bit norty lol xx :-D

Hi girls,

What a horrible day it is here in S E Derbyshire, it's very windy, wet and cold.......I'm just glad that we haven't got to go anywhere today.
I haven't seen the weather forecast for the rest of Britain, but I hope it is better for some of you.



Mo, I'm pleased to hear that your son is alright at the moment, I'm sure you will feel a lot less worried once he's seen the Specialist though and you all know exactly what is what. I would have thought that the Specialist would have seen him by now though. Please give him my best wishes and that all will go well for him.
No matter how old our children are, we never stop worrying about them......all part of being parents, I know.

Hope you and Roly enjoyed your Sunday lunchtime darts match. As you say, it's nice to meet up with friends that have the same interests as yourselves, even if it's only for a couple of hours.




Puss, no we haven't been anywhere or done anything special over the weekend.......called in to see our daughter and son-in-law yesterday afternoon, they live about 5 miles away from us. As I said earlier, the weather has been awful, it's just nice to be able to stay at home.

I see Jude is arranging a Hereford meet, not sure if I can make it with it being a Monday. I'd like to go to it, but will have to wait and see if Alun can book the day off work. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Alun and I are both from S E Wales so went to Hereford fairly often from there. We went to Hereford about 18months ago to meet some third cousins of Alun's, had a lovely day there with them. One of his cousin's took us on a tour of the Hereford shops pointing out to us all the shops that their ancestors owned many years ago and some of the houses where they lived. It was very interesting!


Caz, Sylvia, Huia, Marie, Joyce, Linda and Jude if you are looking in, I hope that you are all okay.

Jean if you are looking in too, thank you for your notelet card, I'll send you an email in the next couple of days.


I'll speak to you all later on.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Hi Sallie, Mo , puss and everyone else
We are all OK here thanks.
Sallie our grandson is growing fast, but not as fast as the clinic want him to? He now weighs in at 9lb 6oz +. He has reflux problems but feeds well. Now on 2 different medicines and has to have a scan to make sure that it is only reflux and nothing more complex. Partly because he was born early.

The sun is actually shining but give it a short time a I guess we will have heavy showers again. Bring on May and hopefully the rhyme will be right.

April showers bring May flowers !! LOL

I haven't been able to get into the garden too much as it is too wet and I can't get out to do some much needed pruning. I have my beautiful Dicentra shrub spoiled by the wind and the rain, hopefully it will survive but looking very battered.

Tomatoes are taking over the dining room as they are too delicate to survive in the unheated greenhouse overnight, the temperature difference is too great.

I have been doing lots of knitting and crochet. Finishing some cardigans, needing buttons and made some tiny hats for the special care unit that looked after our grandson when he was born.

My birthday gift for a special birthday 2 weeks ago was a photo shoot and we had all the family over, justwaiting to see the end result and make some choices regarding a big picture and one of the new family too that we had done nearly 2 months ago.Need to be bigger than our daughter initially thought.

Hope evryone is OK. Mo best wishes for your son, Sallie I hope you are well, Puss keep up your cheerfulness, I hope Caz is in less pain and coping, Dutch hope you are OK too and anyone else that I have forgotten their names. I know Ann is away at present.

Regards Linda xxx

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hello linda nice to see you , hope everything goes well withyour grandson xxx

hello caz really pleased about your results xx

sallie hope you can make it

hello everyone xxxx

remember i have a spare room, my home helper has tidies it specialy for anyone this year, but you must love furry babies

jerry is 3 he is a resued king charles who is fanally letting us kiss him , he is very much speckys dog, as he met him first i guess

then dinkey my 2 yr old chihuahua , then angel 1 yr old chihuahua, infact there next to me playing if the spelling gets worse lol xx :-D

Hello girls,
I don't know what happened a little earlier, but I got onto the site, and answered a p.m I had received, then tried to get onto here, and lo and behold, it locked me out, and no matter how much I tried it wouldn't let me in.
It kept asking me for my e.mail address, then my password, but would not agree with what I added. But hey ho, I fooled it, and here I am. lol

Puss, I don't have the problem of getting drunk at darts, coz I no longer drink.
But, we do come up against quite a few teams that get really rat *rsed before they can throw a dart.
The trouble is, the drunker they get, the louder they become, and it can be a bit off putting.
There is one team that dance round the oche when we are playing them, and sing at the top off their voices..naughty or what.
During the summer season, we play cards ,and shove halfpenny as well as darts. I am useless at the last two, but love to watch it.

Ooh Sallie, it would be great if you could make the Hereford meet, you could also pop in and see Aluns cousins again.
It would be great to make new friends. Thats why I like to go to the Victoria meets.
But then, you are a quiet little thing, and I am a gooby moo, and nosey to boot. lol

Linda. Sebastion is doing well, considering the set backs he had initially, with the jaundice etc.
Reflux is awful for little ones though, as you know Lilly suffered with it badly from birth, and still does. It's either coming up that way, or flowing through the back door, and she is now 15 months old.
At least the hospital are keeping a close eye on him, and will sort him out eventually. Give him a big ((((HUG)))) from me.
You may be lucky to get out in your garden tomorrow, as the forecast seems to be good for then.
I shall have to start getting some bedding plants in soon, but am a bit loathe to do it to soon, with us going away next month. You never know we may get a heat wave whilst we are away. ( now thats a joke isn't it )
I have been unable to get onto the friendlies thread lately Linda, please send them all my best wishes.

Well I must go now girls, I hope to speak to you tomorrow, providing the site lets me on again.
Take care, love and hugs to you all. Mo xxx

(((((((((((((((((HUGS FOR JEAN xxx))))))))))))))))

Hi Mo, and everyone


Sorry I haven't been on here much for the last week or two ............. I've been doing OH's tree.

Mo ................ it's good to see that your son is doing OK. Hope that all goes well when he sees the specialist.


Linda ................ your grandson sounds as though he is doing well, apart from the gastric reflux. If he is otherwise healthy, don't worry about his weight.

The doctors and nurses here are beginning to change their minds about what weight babies should be ......................... someone finally did a study and realised that very tiny women (for example, Chinese or Japanese) really should not be told that their babies are underweight when all the data was based on Caucasian women! There is no "one size fits all" any more!

An untold number of Asian women have been put under unnecessary strain for years, believing they have been underfeeding their babies.

Look more at grandson's Mum ................ is she lighter or heavier than "average"?



We are going away next week for 4 or 5 days ............... not to the cabin! ....... so you won't see me around until after next weekend.


Take care everyone



sylvia

Hi girls, Puss I seem to be having more scans and tests lately, I hate MRI though with being claustrophobic, still I am getting old now so I suppose I can expect these things. Linda my ankle will always be a bit painful the doc said, plus I have cancer in it which doesn't help things, I walk on crutches anyway so it all helps me get around.
Ann what a shame it's been wet on your holiday, we need it here, specially in Yorkshire but not when you go away to the sun. In fact it has rained all day here.
Oops supper is ready see you all later.

Love Caz x
