Hi

Sorry I havent been around for a while. I was in Durham on a family history trip. Found some really good stuff. I am still enjoying my job as QA at work.

I am back and here to stay.

I'm finished planting, I think, no I have 2 shasta daisies to plant then I'm done. back out now to rake up the mess I left round the bed. Looks quite nice, apparently I can take photos with my cell/mobile phone, but then how does one get them onto the computer????? how I miss my camera, it just couldn't survive after Gareth gave it a swim in the fish tank . . Colleen has a great camera and takes some lovely ones, but it has too many buttons and doo-dads for me LOL.

Well folks, I tried to upload/down load (?) my new toy (via voice) yesterday.
I think I have done it but the 'pooter' froze... again.... so I unplugged it all again. Still it does seem to have been loaded so perhaps I will try it at the weekend.
It would be lovely to speak into a machine and let it do the work for me.
The only thing is, I just KNOW I am going to get fed up 'trying it out'.

Mary darling you do have 'fun' in your house don't you?
When I think of the many times I wanted to *kill* my children. ;-0(
You put us all to shame, you and your daughter.

I am still searching for my Cornelius Kelly.... I think I will meet him in person before I find him for my tree!

Gail and Carole, would you mind NOT COUGHING all over me???
I have enough problems without getting your coughs. ;-0)
Are you getting any better?
And as for the computer helping my brain..... I'm just not too sure about that.
I am a moaning, bad tempered, crying, forgetful, pain in the *&^%.....

Doctor phoned me last week to tell me that there had been a letter from the hospital saying that she had to put me on a tablet for High Blood Pressure... the last few times I have been at the hospital mine has been a little high..... no wonder. The stress alone would kill you... just fining a blooming parking space takes ages.
However, I started them today so that when I go next time, the hospital doctor will be able to assess how I am doing on them.
You want honesty???
I wish they would leave me alone. I am sick looking at them, sick listening to them, and sick worrying about appointments.
SEE?
I am turning into a weird woman.

I'm off now before I get any worse.
Would you think I was an idiot if I said... " I need a rest"... ?
It is not as if I do anything physical... I can't.
See you all later and sorry for being such a moody cow today.

Hi Gail, I've come in for a break, filthy again, but got about half of it done, moved some 'hens and chickens' (not your type) and some 'creeping Jenny' and 'siberian bellflower' from other areas so should be nice once established, all low-growing, a bit of colour in the corner round the old tree. it must be pretty old that tree, the lilac is supposed to be 200 years old and the maple is so big I can only get my extended arms round half-way. Ultimately I'd like to fill the area with ground cover, less grass to mow, plus a brick or stone seating area, it's at the front of the house but round the side, quite private actually, morning sun only so there's shade in the afternoon. That's a blessing in the summer. Going back out now after 2 glasses of water, for another half hour then I'm coming in for a while to rest.
Enjoy your day, I'll look at getting some bath handles or bars.
hugs
Mary

Mary sorry about the cough, when I get a coughing fit I sit on the loo, so also know what you mean. I am spreading viruses all over the world via the net.

I also have a spa bath (but with a heater as well) I have handles built into the tub and to grab handles on the walls. I only have a bath if OH is home or get in before he is due home from work. He has only had to help a few times and that has been when really unwell. The handles are a good investment. OH even uses them now, but only because he had a bad fall in the tub, silly bugger.

Doctor is too busy to see me as too many sick people about with the flu, so OH went to the Pharmacy and they gave him some cough mix and other stuff which doc has been telling people to get. Have bronchitis now so will just have to fix itself.

I looked up periwinkles on the net, what did I come up with? Funny looking snails!!!! Gave me a laugh, could just see Mary scattering snails over her garden, well they do multiply. Finally found the flowers and so pretty, should look lovely.

Love and hugs

Gail

Gail did you send me your cough??? Feel rotten, hard to be 'up' today, won't list all the symptoms, but Carole you'd understand.

I went on Freecycle a few days ago, asking for some 'ground cover plants'. Someone offered so I went there yesterday morning and she presented me with no less than 8 grocery bags full of periwinkle. I've got 3 bag-fuls planted, now going outside to deal with the remaining five. It does look much better in that corner and the fresh air didn't do me any harm. Came in last night dirty, tired and achy, and went into the massage tub (Jacuzzi-type), just reached the right water level for the jets to be submerged, and the hot water ran out. Didn't stay very long as it wasn't warm enough but it did help a lot. Then, where is the camera???? I couldn't get out, the bath salts had made the bath extra-slippery and there I was. miniMary had to help haul me out of there, she was giggling too hard to be too helpful, the audacity of it - laughing at her grandmother.. There must be a better way, no point in having a Jacuzzi if you can't get out!!!! Think I'd better invest in a handle that clamps to the sides.
I've called in to work again today, with the widespread flu fears, no point in taking my compromised immune system into a place where there may be infections, and other vulnerable people.

Looks like it's going to rain, I feel better outside in the fresh air, so I'm going to try and plant the rest of the periwinkle before th rain starts, where only long grass and weeds were growing before. Set myself an hour, then in to rest.
Hugs to those who need them today, miniMary gave me one this morning, so I'll pass it on.

Hi Gail my cough is lots better with the anti biotic. Good job as they are making the other problem worse! Don't want to cough and **** myself!!
Do you feel as if you are getting better at all?

I wrote to you all yesterday afternoon on here and when I posted it came up error! I was so cross. Then I noticed all threads had no replies and there was a fault. Good to see it's sorted out.

Angela thanks for your pm's hope you soon start to feel a bit better xx

Sandra pm any of us if you need to talk xx

Liz how are you ? Is oh on lates this week? x

Kathy hope you are ok xx

Deanna I bet the computer is helping your brain heal, keep up the good work and don't worry about the spelling we are not going to check it with a red pen xx

Anyone had any news from Y Caz? Hope they are getting sorted out in their new home, and Caz isn't doing too much. I bet she is xxx

Well better get on with a bit of housework, it's a mess. Four adults live in it and only one seems to be doing any housework !! :o(

Cough COUGH HACK HACK COUGH!!!!!!!


Off back to bed.

Just popped on to say HI ~~~~~~

Love and hugs to everyone

Gail

Glad things weren't so difficult for you Hazel and you could get a bus after all.

Lizx

We do have a bus coming up here on the estate found it today.

Saves me that long walk to the other estate. More so today as in alot of pain. But needed to go out.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}for all who needs or wants one.

Take care all

Hazel

Thank you Maximary

Lucky i am only here for the week. Dont think i will be able to cope if i stayed here until i move.

My kids are worried about me being up here now. But i said dont have to go out much. So will be ok.

Hazel

And hugs back to you Hazel, what a rotten trick to deny you accessability to the bus service. Fingers crossed for a solution, and a quick move,
love
Mary

Evening everyone,
Its been a long time!!! but I do look in now and then,
Love Christine xx

hiya all, anyone takeing mirtazapine ? x

Hi Everyone

Well i didnt want to come home for the week, But i just rang a mate to see if she wants to meet up this week. She said how will you get to me they have STOPPED THE BUS THAT COMEs ON YOUR ESTATE.

Well just gone on Milton Keynes website for buses and yes there is now no bus that comes here anymore.

I now have to have a 10mins walk which on same day will be 15 to 20 mins walk to next estate, which isnt going to be easy for me. to get a bus to go anywhere now.

I CANT WAIT TO MOVE.

Its not fare for anyone who lives here, as have kids going to school,collage and also others who work as well..

And they want to call the place a CITY thats a laugh.

I would under stand if i lived in a little village outside mk but i dont.

I am so CROSS.

Hazel

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Hugs))))))))))))))))) for all who needs them

Hello eveyone. What a good week it has been for weather. Frustrating if you cant get out and enjoy it like some of our poor members. I feel a little better today, and have managed to get some work done! Dead tired now though. To everyone who needs it I send love, and a hug to anyone who feels they need one of those. God bless.

Good afternoon to everyone. Hope it IS a good one.

To all those who need support in one way or other, I am sending positive thoughts.

Take care and be happy!

Eileen xx

Mary thank you for your post, it put a smile on my face I have not had for 3 weeks. Could just imagine Sarah digging holes everywhere, also the red dye everywhere. What a treasure you have with the children, you must be so very proud.

I am doing baby steps to get better, I was trying too hard and went into a slump again. So, not much H@#$! work and have been working on my tree and spending a bit of time on Records Office on GR. Great to take my mind off things.

Deanna I do the same all the time, very frustrating. I gathered 3 lots of census data for someone the other day, then went to edit with some birth info and deleted it all instead. Was not happy as was difficult to find in the first place.

Hope Carole is feeling better with her Bronchitis, the amount of coughing I am doing I have a feeling that is what is going on with me at the moment as well.

Love and hugs to all

Gail
