Carole, don't be too worried about it love, they told you the truth so you have no need to panic.
All will be well.
If there were someting REALLY wrong they would certainly not be waiting that long.

I'm home all done. I have so many cists they didn't even atempt to asperate any of them. He said I'd be like a pin cushion. I did get very worried when I went in to see the Dr and the nurse went to get another Dr. I thought this is it. I have some bad news coming now. They both looked at the pictures and I lay there nearly being sick!

So now I have an open appointment for six months so if I find any more I can ring direct to clinic without seeing my Dr.

Well all ready to go. Waiting for Steve to get showered and dressed. I'm feeling the anxiety raising, but trying to keep it down. Puff puff puff. lol. Shaking a bit now. Sweating as well! Talk tonight if I get chance xxx

Carole (Caz) don't worry about being thick... we make up for it by being *nice peeps* ;-0)

Carole, thinking of you today love. xxx

Gail, get well soon love. I'm a bit low and out of it myself these days, can't even make a business phone call without tears these days. So embarrassing.
Chin up love, we will make it, all of us.

My printer is so confused. I came in this morning and it had carried on printing the minute Tony switched on this morning.
what am I doing wrong, it wont listen to me when I CANCEL!

How is Joyce, anyone heard from her lately?
The last time I heard was when she sent me a message on my birthday.
Hope you are well Joyce... if you are reading this. ;-0)

Lovely day here today.
I'm fed up and weepy.
Hating me at the moment.
So... when do I get better?
Think I will have a few days off and read my book... if I can keep my head in it.
Look after yourselves everyone, I will be back.... could even be today, the mind shifts so quickly these days.

Byeeee see yah when I sees yah.

Hi, things are not so good for me just now, I will get back though and hopefully soon.

Gail

Just a quickie to say good luck today Carole. Just put a top on as you only need to remove top and bra.
Let us know how you went on.

Caz xx

Forgot to say, yes Deanna I am thick when it comes to computers, but you have a good excuse and I don't. Carole thank you for the photos it was lovely to see people I have 'spoken 'to on here.

Cazxx

Thanks for messages about this afternoon. 2:20 my appointment. I'll be glad when it's over. Good job I didn't burn them sat out on that balcony with you Claire, Dutch and Liz. What am I going to wear? Someting for easy undressing!!

Morning all
I had a lovely time at the meet on Sat and it was so nice to see Carole , Liz, Dutch., Carolb and so many other lovely people.
Hopefully I will go to the meet being organised in Chester in August as well.
Weather has been so lovely here, all in shorts and tshirts, just off to the beach now with little girl and dog, we may well have a paddle if the tide is in.
Good luck today Carole, let us know how you get on?
Sending everyone love and hoping that today is a good day
Love

There must be something about this page. We have just finally decided to share some of my husband's mental illness details with my sister. She rang the other day to let me know that someone else close to us had passed away and started to tell me about panic attacks she's been having lately. She had a lot of problems after our Mum and Dad passed away last year and after her husband injured his eye so badly that he now can't see out of it. Thought she was all under control now but it's not the case. B and I had a chat and decided that perhaps it was time to share with her what it is like for him and us and let her know that we are here for her should she need it. It was quite hard after so long to actually tell her. We have always been so worried about people laughing or making comments. Haven't heard back from her yet so goodness knows what she's thinking. I guess I'll find out soon since I'll be calling her for her birthday before too long.

Hi Carole-Tinkerbelle,
The best of luck to-day. You will be in my prayers.
Will pm you later.
Take care.
Lily.

Thank you Carole, a big job done with love.
Now Caz, and I know who you all are.... and Carole knows that Caz and I are *thick*.....
Are we worried Caz ?
NO WE ARE NOT! ;-0)

I did know Liz as I have pictures of her from ages ago.

Carole you are going to be great tomorrow. I know how you feel... and that is not just a bunch of words!
I had to go for an investigation on my bladder a while back.... Karen puts all the hospital appointments on the calender in their kitchen so that they can keep a track on when Tony needs to take his dad or me to the hospital. nosey so and so..... ha ha ha
I kept very quite about it so that I would not have to go. Tony phoned me up on the day... "Mum, are you supposed to be at the hospital today?"......
"Oh, yes, I forgot all about it son.... I'll phone and tell them and make a new appointment!" ;-0(
I then went to my doctor and sat and cried like a baby. Told her all about it, bubbled for a while. She was wonderful.
She did not talk me into it, but she chatted and made me feel fit enough to 'at least' turn up for the next appointment, which I kept .
I was fine, they found nothing bad and I came home.
We are so easily hurt, frightened, embarrassed.... so many emotions and we always think we are alone.
I know you will be fine Carole, but only YOU are going to be there love. If I could hold your hand I would. Just tell us all about it when you have been and all is well. xxx

Well, must get ready for bed...................

my printer has just started to print on its own!!!!
it printed off the GR rules, Genes reunited Australia ...GR New Zealand GR South Africa GR International!!! Then the page we are on just now????
I swear I did not touch a thing!! HONESTLY..... Woe is me, we have a Geist in our house!

Joking aside, that was quite frightening....
Ah well going to bed now DEFINITELY.
Heart is a little 'shaky'....
It could only happen to me these days!
And I used to be quite bright!!! ;-0)

Good night everyone, have a good sleep.
love DEanna XXX

Of course you can do it Carole, but it would be better to take hubby for support. I'm always brave when I go in (well I pretend to be) but so glad hubby is waiting for me outside or with me in appointments.
I'm so proud of you for going yesterday to the meet, If I'm honest I don't think I would have the confidence to meet so many people at once. You did it, good on you girl, gold star.

I'll be keeping everything crossed for you tomorrow, and as dutch says be standing next to you in spirit.

Caz xx

I'll try to send the pictures to Caz and Deanna another way.

I can't believe I got there yesterday, no running to the loo. Things are improving. I went to work (local) Thursday and didn't go to the loo before leaving home. I also went out for the day Friday with my friend and only went to the loo acouple of times while out. To go to Liverpool and meet people for the first time was a huge bridge crossed for me. I loved meeting eveyone. I even got off my chair to go round with the camera. I normaly take it but don't get it out of my bag.

Hospital tomorrow afternoon for mamogram. I'll be in a tiss. Steve is going with me. I said I would go alone but now it's getting nearer I want him to go with me. I'm going to go without taking imodium. I can do it!!!

Hi all, I wouldn't like to pass my cuttings on Ann, my sister keeps borrowing them, and we go through them when we find a new member of our family in the census, see if there are any pictures off where they lived.
I've had a perfectly rotten weekend, my hubby went to the doctors for my prescription, it was closed. When it's closed they take all the prescriptions next door to chemist, no prescription, it hadn't been done yet. Hubby was furious and no amount of talking would get him anywhere so he just walked out. Just Neurofen and quick acting morphine over the weekend, trouble is the capsules only last four hours. Roll on Monday morning.

Deanna I'm like you and when it askes me to join I don't want to so close down Facebook, I won't be able to see who was there either.

Love and hugs to all.

Caz xx

It looked like a lovely visit.... Carole sent me some photos.... but I don't know who they all are. She then gave me an e-mail address to look at them.... but it did not work. THEN if I do get there, I know from past experience, I have to join to get in. I don't want to join.
Couldn't you just name yourselves....
a small description of what you had on, and a rough idea of what you look like! ha ha ha
I will work out myself who each of you is.

Ben, I would love to find out WHY people moved addresses.
I find it very frustrating not being able to find things out about the people I have in my tree.
My grandmother, for instance, was born in Bishop Auckland and was in the census at 8 months old and then at 11years. Then the whole family turns up in Blantyre where she met and married my granddad.
I understand that they probably moved to follow the work, but, how do I find out 'how,where, when, why?'
The lady who delivers my library books finds out so much about her ancestors and I would like to find out more about mine.
Do any of you search that far, and if so how do you manage it?
Mary... poor Gareth Poor you.
I am so like you in that respect.
I have so many things which I cannot care for. I do not have the energy to wash and keep them shinning as my mother did. Tony would not want them either, and although I can't keep them nicely anymore... I have a difficult time even thinking about giving them away.
I am at a time in my life when I really want to go 'minimalist' it is all I am really capable of tending now.
ah well.... open a window Allan, I'm having a clear out....
bye everyone, see you next time.
Love Deanna XXXX

How wonderful to see the meet photos. Liz I cannot believe how young you look. I was exciting for me to see everyone and I was not even there!!

Looks like you all had a wonderful time.

Carole, it is great you are now able to go to these meets, just a step at a time.

Gail

Home from Liverpool meet. Liz was there, sorry I had to lie about her not being able to get on line. Liz asked me to do it!! Liz wanted to suprise Dutch. Very hot sat on the balcony of the pub. Met some lovely people Clairejo, Dutch, Liz, Carol B, and others. God I couldn't have even gone to Liverpool a year ago let alone meet and talk to people.
There is hope for the rest of you xxxxxxxx
photos on my facebook if anyone wants to look x

My thanks to all those lovely people who have p.m'd me, and mentioned me in their posts...

Tring to find a safe haven, thus one that doesn't result in giving your feelings direct access to your actual (deep) feelings is a very difficult path to traverse.

Colin, I am so longing to see the area around Dublin, because we only checked the area aound Kinsale Coek two years ago.I love the city of Cork, where I was born, but, so much happened in Dublin years later...

Have a lot of (historical) tales abput both cities...

My thanks to all those VERY kind souls that have p.m'd me or sent me e-mail messages, you are all great people.

Must see about other mails etc.

Love to all from Eileen x

I love it when an ancestor in later life moves away from their home parish after being widowed or something. Two have done that but were bought back to their home parishes for burial.

A Durham ancestor was widowed in 1848. She lived in Gainford for about another 8 or 9 years then moved to Gilling in North Yorkshire, dying in 1863 in Brompton On Swale, Yorkshire and being bought back to Gainford in Durham for burial on the 30th December 1863, and an ancestor moved from Wimbish in Essex 30 miles to Harston then Bourn in Cambridgeshire before moving back to Wimbish and dying in Saffron Walden workhouse in 1877.

Caz, why not offer your cuttings to a FH society?
