Gers

Morning all. 

Gers

It's been a strange week with all my complaints. The ABs have kicked in and my distressing symptoms are easing. I'm still a bit knocked for six and unusually frazzled. 

Today I'm off back down to Glasgow for the long-awaited MRI on my hips. It's in the late afternoon so I've arranged to stay with my friend Alan. Then, yesterday afternoon I received a call to tell me that the test on my bladder has been organised for Monday lunchtime. So, I'm staying down until then. 

@DP1 - I really hope that your beloved little one is feeling even a bit better and back home. A wee gentle squeeze for her. And more robust ones to others. I've heard from Camelot, her op went well though she's staying in hospital for a couple of days. We're all in the winter wars!

Morning GERS and all to follow. As you know I can sympathise and share your pain. I really hope you get sorted out quickly. Meanwhile keep taking the tablets!

Good to hear CAMELOT is ok after her op and has a speedy recovery. DP1 your poor little one, she lurches from one ailment to another but endures them all so bravely. I had never heard of her current problem but it sounds very painful. Here's to a quick recovery for her too. As well as all the other poorlies on here just now. 

I had a very tiring shopping day yesterday with DD. Nothing new there! She picked me up at 8.15 am and I crawled back through the door 11 hours later at 7.20 pm!  But we did manage a break for lunch to sustain us!. It was a profitable shop for both of us though. I got the new jumpers I wanted and quite a lot of stocking fillers too. The M & S outlet let me down this trip. There was nothing in their clothing section to tempt me but I did pick up a few smelly bits. But my biggest bargain was a tan leather Paul Costello bag for £27. RRP was about £150 but selling all the range off at silly prices with a further 20% off on top. DD got one too.

I was too weary to unpack everything last night so that job awaits me this morning. DS has been in the Lakes for a couple of days so the SS is not until tomorrow. Nothing I am stuck for so it doesn't matter when it is.  I have youngest DGD coming this afternoon and then a sleepover as DD and her DP are going on the train to Leeds for a browse and then a restaurant I have never heard of for a wine tasting and supper evening and expect to be late back.

Have a lovely day folks if you can with ((HUGS)) for the growing list of poorlies on here. Take care all, stay safe x

Morning all

A lie in this morning as I was up a couple of time in the night as i was so blocked up I couldn't breathe through my nose.  E consult on Monday methinks, it's been going on too long now and it's not easing at all.  

Apart from me moaning nothing going on today except some washing to hang out and some rock cakes to make.  

Hope everyone has a lovely day x
