:hello: :hello: :hello: :hello: :hello: :hello: Hi everyone

The sun here is disappearing as I type!

Hope it doesn't disappear completely as we have BBQ planned for this evening with friends.

Lovely evening last night out celebrating friends anniversary.

OS -- still cleaning and decluttering since our return. Washed woollen rug smells like 100 wet dogs have slept in the house !!

dlb -- great about your weight loss- you must feel great.

Dg- good luck with next trips plans esp with DD so poorly.

Aussie - hope the tablets kick in quickly.

Pam-- I'm with everyone else -- you should be able to grieve as you choose.

Taplady --- Hi. Thanks for my wave!

Must get on . Congrats to all those celebrating and gentle thoughts to all those feeling sad,poorly or alone

Morning all :hello:

Thanks to everyone who has told me about my stitches, Donny Gal, I'm already on 3 antibiotics so if I get any more I'll be rattling :rotfl::rotfl:
Hopefully the doc will sort me out this afternoon.

I'm only just out of bed and have NO plans today apart from doc later, DH has left me strict instructions to behave

Has anyone heard how Pen Pin is doing?? Hope she is ok.

((((((hugs)))))) to all who are in need

Off for a browse now, see you all later.

Got my test results back today. Of course I had to wait 2 boring long hours for them with sickly people sniffing, coughing, etc next to me. I do have high chol & also have a very underactive thyroid & have to have an ultrasound next week and was put on some tablets. I should be all better soon.

Aussie you'll have to make sure you buy plenty of nice healthy things when you go shopping from now on

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Love the pic AB!!! Not had chance to read thread yet-apart from quoted post. Off to docs this morning, See if he can sort out why I'm constantly freezing, tired all the time and generally lethargic-OH thinks it's my circulation.
(((((hugs))))) smoky and pen-pin and anyone else who needs or wants one.
Right off to get sorted, appointment is just after 11.

Be prepared for it to take a while to get the dosage right and to feel a real improvement.

Mrs mix

I agree with everyone else that it has to be the kid's decision and yours - not some distant relative. Why is it always the people who do not help who feel entitled to criticise?

Washing machine is on and I need to make some bread rolls for later.

Might make Twinks hob nob for later - or else a cake.

Did not do the curry and kofta kebabs last night so might do them today instead.

Best wishes to Pennypincher and hope the treatment makes a real improvement for her.

Kathy

Hope your DH is all right and will be able to fly.

Hugs to all

Good morning!:hello:

I'm really tired this morning so please excuse me if I'm a bit incoherent and can't remember what anyone's said - apologies in advance if i don't mention you by name:o

Had lunch at DD's yesterday and she's just started doing SW so we had a SW recipe for lunch - very tasty too. She'd been planning fishcakes for last night's dinner, but then realised they had to be chilled overnight, so they'll be for tonight instead - i did feel sorry for her, she was preparing them when i arrived and said she seemed to have been cooking all morning - she looked shattered! Last night though she had her first weigh-in and she'd lost 4 1/2 lbs, so she felt all the hassle had been worth it. I don't think I'll be joining her though - their grocery bill shot up by £40:eek: After lunch we went to Sainsbury's as I needed a few bits and DSIL had forgotten to buy DGD's milk when he did the shopping on Sunday. I was really glad I'd taken a shopping list because DGS bawled all the way round the shop because he wanted to walk rather than sit in the trolley:rolleyes: and I wouldn't have been able to think what I wanted. He couldn't walk, because one of us was pushing the trolley and the other, the twin pushchair with DGD in it.

Lots of washing to do today, the first load's in the WM atm.Will do hoovering too if I can manage it.

Metherer - so sorry tohear about your job, that's rotten for you.

Penelope Penguin - thanks for the pic of you with that gorgeous piglet! How old was it? glad you enjoyed the course.

Aussielass - ((((HUGS)))), how horrid to have to wait all that time to be given bad news! At least things can be sorted out now. Hope the tablets will help and that you soon start feeling better.


Arkonite Babe - poor you, hope your infection gets sorted quickly.

Shez - glad you all enjoyed the trip to the Fire Station! I was pleased to hear they still had the pole to slide down - I remember reading that one Fire Brigade, can't remember where, had had to get rid of their pole for H & S reasons - apparently some bright spark decided it would be safer to have them all running downstairs :rolleyes: Words fail me! (Not often that happens:D ) Hope you enjoy the Tap lessons!

Mrs Mix - I agree with what others have said, your children shouldn't have to go to the funeral if they don't want to. Don't let anyone make you feel pressured into making them go. They will remember their Grandad as he was.(((HUGS)))

dlb - well done on the weight loss, and Charlie's Mum, you are doing really well, and the weight is more likey to stay off if it's lost slowly.

Stefejb - your poor DD! hope her hand gets better quickly!

Candygirl (((HUGS)))

Smokybabe - (((HUGS)))

(((HUGS))) to all who are ill or worrying about poorly relatives.

Best wishes

morning all
hope eveyone is well and happy
hugs to all those in want need of one
Mrs-Mix, i agree with everyone else let the children make their own decision
had a busy night last night found a pattern i hadnt used for ages for a little prem cardi over the weekend so i'd made a start and got it finished last night, got enough wool left for a matching hat. watched the repeat of Gladiators that young lad said god was on his side didnt he (wont say more than that incase anyone has it taped to watch)
busy night tonight choir and ju jitsu so early tea for the boys and rush round for me. well probally have porrige late again DH doesnt like eating a cooked meal late.

WM on and ironing pile growing, i MUST do some of that instead of knitting (but knitting is more fun)

hope everyone has a little something in their day to make them smile

Hi Jayward. No wonder you want a rant!!! Can you not rearrange the review? Ask someone else-although it's short notice? Record the review? Just trying to come up with suggestions. (((hugs))). Hope you get it sorted.

Hello all ! Sunshine - ooops.........well it was,seems to have vanished now !
Chilly wind so I'm not going far, just to see my Counsellor and thats just across the road from me.
Last appointment and I feel a bit like my lifeline is being taken away........think I'll ask them to keep a space open for me. Don't relish going through everything again with someone new but it's a good back up for me.

Other than that, no plans for today as such. I'll see how I feel later

Have a good day and hugs (((((((((:o )))))))))) to all those who need them
