    Helloooo :wave:
    Yes its me we have been back since late on Saturday but things have been hectic to say the least...where has all this stuff come from I ask myself...I am sure I never bought all this rubbish;)

    The caravan sale went well and the couple who bought it are over the moon so we are very pleased, also relieved in a way that it is all done and dusted.
    They were a bit confused and had no idea what to do so we spent half an hour or so with them showing them how to work the central heating, the stereo system, what worked what with the elec/gas/12volt battery etc.sounds complicated but it really isn't.

    We travelled home in the rain and that was just how I was feeling sad and drippy with a heavy heart, but I know we have done the right thing....

    We had the most wonderful time with chalky and the sporty one she is such a star and is so thoughtful..she had made OH's favourite for lunch cottage pie and lots of veg AND a side order of baked beans well he was like a kid in a candy store...and then CHEESECAKE oooo it was mmmm yummy we both love cheesecake...then we sat and chatted and chatted and chatted
    for ages, it really did distract us from all the goings on with the van....
    so Thank you my lovely friend...and I just want to say
    YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF US :A

    thank you Jean for passing on the good news from psso's family I am so pleased all is well for her

    Just popped in to say hi :hello: Having a lovely relaxing time, we even went out for tea tonight - we walked a whole 20 yards to the onsite restaurant and had a lovely meal and a chat to the owners.

    Went into town earlier and had a wander round, hubby bought me some cosy slippers that are like boots as my toesies were chilly in the cottage. Am going to knit some ducks tomorrow after we have been to see the sea. Decided to have a wander in the mornings then he can fish or sleep in the afternoon.

    Its nice that two of my favourite people got to spend time together - Chalky and Pippa. Best go and sort hubbys meds out and get him put to bed. night all xx

    Hi all lovely to hear of lovely ladies getting together :T:T
    Am hoping it won't be long before we can have a virtual meet up
    Jean - have no invite anywhere so will quickly pm you my "name" for Skype . Xx

    Pippa - sending you a hug it must have been sad to see the van go but I'm sure a new chapter begins xx

    Ginny - am so pleased you are having nice time at cottage a well deserved break xx

    Chalky - thinking of you and family xxx

    Kathy - hug for you xx

    Psso - not sure whether anyone will see thus but sending you a huge but gentle hug xxx

    Hoping sock-knitter has a lovely knitting break xxx

    Had a thought that I had not blogged for ages so am thinking up something different to talk about .

    Am on week four of a "mindfulness" course via the internet something called a webinar - very interesting and in depth all about being in the moment - have also brought a book which I must get round to reading its run by my nurse consultant they believe it good for anxiety etc, and even pain clinic recommended it to a friend recently - didn't know whether any of you had heard of it - YouTube video of dr kabot zin talking to google employees blows your mind - trying to get intellectual now ........ :rotfl:

    I'm being called off computer just as I get on someone else wants it typical

    So will love you and leave you hugs all round xxx j xxxx

    Whoop whoop whoopitty whoop.
    X ray on William's leg shows that plaster can come off on Sunday. Apparently he can swim right away. He may limp for a while and the legs will become the same length in time. At the moment the insurance company are saying they will not pay for the anaesethic for the removal but the surgeon is sure it can be got araound. We know it will one way or another!!!! He has gone through enough.

    Thank you each and every one of you for you kind words,thoughts,prayers and wishes for us all. It's been a long,hard 7 weeks but the light is on at the end of the tunnel

    I can't wait to see a picture of him upright!!

    I send my love back to you all as I know everyone here has their own obstacles and hurdles to climb. Thank you for helping me with mine. Xxx

    Chalky - I can't tell you how delighted I am that the plaster is coming off on Sunday. It's been a long and anxious seven weeks for you all. I am sure he will be like a little Roadrunner before long! Hugs to you all, especially William.
