Morning all, where are you hiding, I hope you are all getting some of the lovely sunshine, the evenings are especially nice . we used to love walking along the prom in the late sunshine, everyone seemed more relaxed and friendly,
so , what is everyone doing over the weekend , I am having a perm on Friday so will be able to go out at last...lol... I stay put when my hair (which as been the bain of my life ) is ready for a perm, its so fine and I cant manage it myself so the hairdresser is a must....

what I want to know Mo when does the painting season start? you have been very quiet about it of late I am sure it will all need doing again, what colour scheme do you fancy this time , I would think you will be a bit fed up with the garish green you have now, it must clash
with the purple suite and red curtains....... :-D :-D :-D

jude will text later re birthday xxx

I just dont believe it...(said in a Victor Meldew voice) I am unable to get on here for a day or two, and I get all these ere insults thrown at me, by our Jean. lol
The paint brushes are in hibernation at the moment Jean. I am still wearing the sun glasses to guard against the glare, of the different colours in this room. No wonder I have been having head aches.
Our darts season has finished for now, till September, so me darts are on holiday for the moment, and only get an airing on a Sunday lunch time.
And Jean, our Huia is from NZ,not OZ lol, wake up me dear lol. ;-)
The last time my bikini was out, was when I went for a part in Bay Watch. Pamela Anderson was well put out by my appearance, and only got the part because I turned it down.
My curves were all in the correct place way back then, now I am the understudy for the Michelin Man, and advertise tyres, coz I have got so many spare ones on the go at the same time.
You will look a proper glamour puss after your perm wont you, and I suppose it will cost us an arm and leg to talk to you. Do we get pensioners rates by any chance, coz both my arms and legs arn't worth much these days.

Take care everyone, special hugs for my bestie Jean.
Love Mo xxx

lobe Jean xx :-S

Lol Jean I thought you were going to say Teletubbies :-D.....* runs!

Went to Cheltenham today looking for a dress to wear to Grandson's wedding in september. Well, tried on four and does my b*m look big in this? Yes it did. They are all clingy material and either like beach wear or really dressy over the top and lurid colours, except the nice ones in sizes 6-12 and there were some pretty ones in those sizes. Everywhere looked like a jumble sale too with all the stores having frantic sales of the summer clothes they have not been able to sell. So we didn't buy anything.
Went into Wetherspoon for lunch, ordered jacket for me, ham egg and chips for him and a glass of wine each. ten minutes later waitress comes and says they have no jackets so I ordered ham egg and chips. 50 minutes after we first ordered no food had appeared so himself goes back to the counter and complains, apparently there was 'trouble in the kitchen'. Manager came to see us and gave us a full refund when we said we didn't want to wait any longer, including a refund for our drinks (£7 worth). so we had a free glass of wine each, went to another cafe and bought lunch Result!!!! :-D

Hi there girls.

I went to the doc yesterday to see if she had the results of my gastroscopy and colonoscopy. I dont think she has the results yet of a biopsy they were going to do on a polyp they removed. BUT she tells me I have a bit of inflamation of the oseophagus and that could be causing the cough that I have. She decided to experiment on me and has prescribed some capsules to take each morning for 3 months. I certainly hope it will stop this cough. I was coughing up my toenails last night and that set me sneezing, about 30 times. I havent had such a long spell of sneezes for ages, I think the citalopram that I take for restless legs might have reduced the frequency and lenth of my spells of sneezes. Oh me, oh my, all these pills and potions to remember to take.

I went to visit gt grandson 2 days ago. He is crawling a little bit now. He was full of bounce and smiles. I am hoping to go again in 3 weeks with his other gt grandma to get some 4 gen photos - our daughter goes every 2nd week, and next Wed is one of them, hence the 3 week thing (I have something else on next Wed).

I have also arranged for a woman from the Pukekohe Light Opera Club to come and visit me next week to look through all the song sheets that I have dating back about 100 years, if not more. They have a small group of people who do old songs to entertain various occasions.

Must get busy, havent done any washing for ages, high time I did it before I run out of clean clothes.

Huia.

It's no good Jean, I will HAVE to take these glasses back to Spec Savers, and to think I have only had them a short while.
Perhaps I should have bought two magnifying glasses instead, and tied em together with a piece of string, I might be able to see better that way.
You and Ann, are both wrong, it wasn't Watch with Mother or the Teletubbies, you saucy minxes, it was Bill and Ben the flower pot men, and I auditioned for the Little Weeeeed. How dares the pair of you let me down like that, I am deeply deeply hurt lol ;-)
Lilly goes in for her, barium swallow on tuesday. It used to be called a barium meal. Goodness knows how they are going to get the little one to swallow the stuff, unless they sedate her, and put it through a tube.
My son seems to be o.k, thank goodness. To be honest, I am frightened to ask, in case something goes dreadfully awry.

Ann, I cheated for my sons wedding next month, I bought a lovely maxi dress from M+S. I do need to shorten it though. Why do the manufacturors think that all women are ten foot tall.
I got myself a lovely fascinator the same colour, from the charity shop, and my shoes and bag I bought on line.
But I do know what you mean about the shops looking like jumble sales. I find the worst ones are shops like Pr*ma*k, where people just chuck things back on racks, or onto the floor, and don't bother to replace them properly.
It must be a nightmare for staff at the end of the day.

Oh Huia,you are brave allowing your doctor to experiment on you, and I had to laugh at your description of coughing up toenails.
It has taken quite some time for your results to come through hasn't it. Still you know what they say, no news is good news.
I bet you noticed a big difference in your G.Grandson when you saw him. They grow so quickly dont they.
I bet the lady from the Opera club will be over the moon with all your song sheets.
There will be songs that have not seen the light of day, for donkeys years.
You never know, they might record some, and send you a copy.

There has not been any news from Sallie, but I know she has been to see the therapist this week some time. Lets hope and pray she is getting along o.k.
If there is no news from her over the weekend, I will send an E.Mail out to Alun, just to make sure she's well.

Sending love to Sylvia, Marie, Caz,Linda, Joyce, Liz,Jude,Lorraine and all our friends.
Have a nice weekend everyone. Love Mo xxx

hello MO and ALL just a quicky nearly oxygen time for me

ive been putting soaps in little organza bags and gluing little rose buds on, amazing how something simple and cheap can look, so will be jumping in the puddle outside our door and havingf a bath , may aswell its big enuf, so good night god bless xxxxx :-D

mo how tall are you. I haven't looked at maxi dresses as I thought I was too short for them at 5 foot 2 and a bit. today we have looked at every shop in Milton Keynes and still nothing, even John Lewis had all 6, 8, 10s and 12 s with hardly any larger sizes.

just been to the Harvester with the family for a meal, very nice too, especially as it was son's treat.

Ann, I am 5ft 4 approx, I used to be 5ft 6, but am shrinking by the day.
I buy a 16 in clothes for comfort, M+S local to us had loads of different styles when I bought my dress.

It has been absolutely pelting it down with rain all day. We got soaked this morning when we went shopping, so we have spent the afternoon in the house in the dry.

Must go and dish our dinner up now, I am starving.
Take care everyone, love Mo xxx

Please don't mention food, I'm starving as well but the thought of eating something makes me even more nauseous. I used to be 5' 7"and took a size 14 in clothes, need a bigger size now.
Jean the parcel still hasn't come but Joyce says she waited three weeks for one of hers, I will ring the parcel force on Monday, this is ridiculous.
Well really all I wanted to say was hello girls, I will come back whwen feeling better.

Love Caz xx

Hi Mo
xx


and everyone
xx


another sunny day here :-D


well, the little family arrived

and we've survived the first night!!

We met them at about 11:45 pm from the plane ........... then had to wait around for their bags to appear. So it was almost 12:30 am our time when we got home ....... and that meant that it was 4:30 am their time

Little Tiddley had woken at 5 am Friday morning, gone to Daycare, had a 90 minute nap in the afternoon .................... and had all of 30 minutes sleep on the plane!

One very overtired little boy ....... but surprisingly good and cheerful.

We all got to bed about 1:15 am our time ................ and we started hearing noises from him at about 7:15 am. Not bad!


OH has taken them to our local Ikea ........... which was re-built and opened late April as about twice or 3 times the size of the old one

I decided to stay home ............ I didn't like the old Ikea on a Saturday, and the new one is still a novelty!



I only wear long skirts, especially in summer. I don't think I have even one skirt (winter or summer) that is shorter than about mid-calf.

I used to be 5' 8½", but am now at least 1" shorter .................. and I take a size 20-22 in UK terms.

However .... I am losing weight with this diabetic diet I am on.


My big problem is the lack of boobs :-D :-D :-D


It is soooooooooooooooooooo much more comfortable without a bra, and the falsies get so hot when it is warm outside, that I now rarely wear them. But I do have to find camouflage (scarves, vests, etc) to hid the sagging material of tops!



take care everyone

Hi Sylvia,
Oooh how lovely to have the clan around you. I bet little man was really exhausted, but with so much going on around him , his curiosity got the better of him, and he didn't want to sleep for fear of missing something. lol
But he slept well considering it must have been strange for him to be in a different room from home.
How long are they staying with you this time?
I bet you look very elegant whatever you wear my love. My favourite wear is trousers and maxi dresses or skirts, they cover up a multitude of sins.

Caz, I am sorry you are still not feeling to good love. I was hoping you had started to feel better by now. It seems an age since you first became unwell, with your kidney infection, and then this dratted nausea started.
Can you contact your doctor again, and let him know you are still poorly my friend, perhaps he can give you something else to ease it.

My eldest son was rushed into hospital last night. He had an operation on his hernia last week, and it had become badly infected. The emergency doctor took one look at it, and said hospital straight away.
Today they opened the wound, and cleaned it out, without giving him anything to cotrol the pain.
They have left a wick in, to help clear any more infection. ( Dont ask me what the wick does girls ) and sent him home with some anti-biotics.

It looks like we are to become great grandparents again, not sure when though, just waiting for confirmation.

I hope you have all had a good weekend. Take care my friends, love Mo xxx

Oooh I forgot to say, Ann, I looked on line, to try and find the dress I bought from M+S, and it was not there.
They must have different stock in the shops to the online products.
If I had found it, I would have let you know. Sorry about that, I was trying to be helpful. Love Mo xxx

Hi there girls. Some good news and some bad news from me.

The good news is that the capsules the doc prescribed seem to have fixed my scratchy throat cough :-D

The bad news is that last night I found a lot of water on my bench and internal windowsill in the kitchen. I eventually discovered it was coming from the top of the window. I think the rain and wind are from a different quarter from usual, or the gooby sealing the edges has given up. Well, it is 39 yrs old. I will have to phone a builder some time to come and look at things. He will probably have to dismantle the window to see how much water is inside the wall, and dry it out, but no use doing it while it is raining like this. At present I have some icecream containers on the windowsill to catch the drips. I did use rags last night but they are not enough to stop the water spilling onto the bench and I am running out of rags, so I hope the icecream containers will do the trick. At least they can be emptied out when they get full.

Looks as if the rain has stopped briefly, I might go outside to see what I can see.

Huia.

Huia I hope the rain stops for long enough for everything to dry out.

Thank you for trying Mo, I think they do have different things in the shops to on line, also a lot of the summer lines will be at an end as the autumn stuff is due in.

Caz, do you know what is still causing the nausea? Can you get anything to stop it from the chemist?

Sylvia, enjoy your time with littley and the family.
