    Morning Joan I hope you are well after you rather busy day yesterday. Do the dogs smell and look lovely? Did they have one of those lovely smelling shampoos for dogs that Tia has at the pool? You must really really miss Sue so much. Like my friend does her wife. They leave such a hole in your life. Sending you some huge ((())) xxx

    Morning Stuartknee I'm not sure any of our meds actively destroy our teeth (in fact if you are in too much pain you can actually damage your teeth/jaw like I am due to gritting your teeth in pain) but some do make our mouths dryer so if you are on any of those you need to drink more than usual. Is it because of your chipped tooth they were thinking? Maybe just check with your pharmacist when you next go they are THE experts with meds and side effects?

    Morning Reshmi

    A very tired Reshmi yesterday I hope you feel much more yourself today? and of course that your dear Mum is well bs stable.

    Did you get to the group at all? I got to the foodbank ok and had a good session managed to sort all of the breakfast cereals into date order so the won't be wasted ☺️

    I hope you were able to rest properly and coped with any over-heating - which I think contributes to making us tired.

    Take care my friend and I hope you are back on form now ((())) xxx

    Morning Toady

    Get you getting loads done! Did I do anything? Foodbank and a coffee out with one of the foster-carers then picked up the babies from nursery. Oh yes then made tea at the Church for an evening activity they had on.

    I do exactly the same I would rather be left alone as far as Drs are concerned I don't want the hassle. If anything I would like to reduced the meds list not add to it🙄 Let's not mention stifles at rheumatology they may think we are intellectually challenged and actually referring to a cold or something. Have you got to go soon yourself?

    As for the shoulder well I'll wait I can cope I think unless it worsens again.

    I have the dentist this morning so have to do that super clean you do in a bit. It's about my jaw she thinks the arthritis is in there now too (TMJD) and may refer me to maxofacial??? Or have a mouth guard which I'd hate too breathing is rather important to me😃

    Sleek was chuffed to bits to add some of her catazon fishlist to your prime thank you very much but I might need my card back soon so I can pay the dentist this morning!!!

    Of course you should be proud of yourself getting the little room perfect in time for changes next door. I am also very proud of you (and Sleek) you are right to think of it as your haven/retreat rather than 2nd best escape room. Garibaldis! Yes they will do nicely and hopefully the perfect little kettle then jobs a good 'un!😊 The throw sounds lovely Sleek might play with the dangly bits but she won't damage them.

    Arya is coming to see me this afternoon I expect she'll bring her Mummies with her too😉

    Take care Toady ((())) xxx

    Good morning everyone

    Toady (()) it’s took me have an hour to get on here. I go to Chit Chat then Vals Cafe but it wouldn’t come I went to my little picture still couldn’t I don’t know how I got here now. Went I was clearing Sue’s wardrobe out I found a box of chocolate’s not opened they were 6 years old they went. Have a good

    Toni (()) I have never liked going to the front door and seeing a neighbour in case they spoke to me because I wouldn’t know what to say. I say to sue you go out first. I thought I was a nobody. Then I began to think my money was as good as anyone else’s. Yes the dogs did smell lovely but they didn’t like the dryer so they were a bit damp when they came in. Sorry about your shoulder (()) that’s nice seeing little Arya. It won’t be to many years and she will be walking to you. I saw an advert on my iPad for people to come and see the pink Figaro for Cancer it’s by ish brothers. The Dr made my appointment for the 12 because he stopped my blood pressure tablets I was taking 3 different ones he said they can cause you to go dizzy I never have. Have a good day love to Paul (()) and Charley (()) and Annie (()) and Arya (()) and Lucy (()) and Tia (()) and Kari (()) and your friend (()) and your lovely neighbours (())

    Reshmi have a good day sorry about all the problems you have (()) love to your mum (())

    Stuart knee (()) good luck with your tablets. I have Osteoporosis so I take Alendronic Acid that affects your teeth. Have a good day

    take care

    Hi all 👋

    Stand by, deep gloom time again (already!). One afternoon's peace & quiet yesterday frog, that's too much apparently 🙄 I mentioned briefly the other day they want to come round & faff about with the gas, well now I've had the Important Official Booklet and it's much more drastic than I thought - replacing the entire street's pipes - so as soon as that starts, the quiet room will now be the noisiest room in the house as they dig the road & everyone's drives up & heaven knows what 😣. Plus it was the most badly written leaflet ever, "we need to enter your property so you definitely have to be here - or get someone else to let us in, but if you can't do that either not to worry we'll manage without - but you do need to be in..." well which is it! I give up, I really do. Yes they won't be digging at night but the daytime is when they work next door, so that's when I want the little room 😕. Oh well it looks like me & Sleek will be sitting on the stairs wrapped in our wool blankets, having been driven out of everywhere else, and if she isn't chewing the tails on hers I will be on mine by that point 🤪. The electrics with you back awhile & now me the gas, oh leave us alone world. Sorry to start moaning again so soon 😳 hope things ok with you today and baby's visit went well, still plumping up nicely I trust 😊. I meant to mention before about your TMJD, my jaw went to pot overnight pretty much as soon as I had the RA, for whatever reason, & can't open it wide at all (and I have 'crepitus' one side). Not painful really though and pain is a TMJ trademark I believe? Has yours been sort of sneaking up on you slowly? Sorry if it is a bother and no not a mouthguard if you can avoid it I really do hope. Also hope the dentist didn't find anything else to do🤞. No, no appts of any sort in the offing for me ta (& good luck trying to drag me to any in winter tbh). Love to all 😘 xx

    Hello Joan, not much going on with me, I have been too busy being thrown into a tizzy knowing the gasmen want to come & bother me 😔. What with your kitchen it is hard lines on us who don't want any more people in than necessary. Gosh yes even older chocs than my cakes! That's a shame but better for them to go. So sorry you couldn't get in today, when you go to Val's Cafe and it doesn't work, what comes up on the screen 🤔? I've been logging in on a different browser and all I can see are black and what outlines for the faces & symbols, so I have to go back to the other one to post or I can't see what things I'm trying to add to what I write. Hope it's no trouble tomorrow. Glad the dogs are fine I bet they are lovely and soft 😊. Have a good Friday it looks dry if you are going to town :) xx

    Hi to bosh, it's grumpy me again today, I am sitting in the cafe corner looking morose and may well bite if approached 😒. The last thing I feel like is some silly gas men pneumatic drilling outside, let alone bothering me to get in my garage and poke about, my garage is one of my personal lurking haunts as you know, I don't take kindly to intruders. Ugh. Hope things less trying with you today, I am going to have a hot drink (nothing as nice as your lovely latte unfortunately) and maybe a cracker or two and get off to bed earlyish but may sidle in again later - if not have a good night hope everyone well :) xx

    Sleeping outside Stuart how interesting hope that works well for you, yes it has been a good dry spell fingers crossed the outlook is much the same here, hope it is for you too. Take care :) xx

    Love to everybody ☕️😘 xx

    hi Toni Joan toady and Stuartknee

    How are you all?

    👋 Toni

    Yes feeling much more rested 👍

    Mums ok

    Mum’s female friends visited her today and she was very happy, bless her

    👋 toady

    How are things today?

    How is the phantom neighbour?

    👋 Joan

    Mum is ok 👍

    How are you?

    👋 Stuartknee

    Sorry you’re still in a lot of psin

    👋 Toni

    Sorry I’m getting a bit of eye strain, also tired

    So here is my poem

    This poem is inspired by “J the gym addict organiser” who worried because I only had half a hot chocolate lol

    Have a good night all tc xx

    Small portions
    I have neither Slow metabolism
    Nor skinny frame, nor gym addiction
    This means I exercise self - control, it’s no affliction
    Hot chocolate can’t be swigged like coconut water, in my case
    Because like JA I need to fit into my graceful gowns made of taffeta and lace
    Chocolate box? Eat two give the rest to bill the greedy man
    Baked beans? Eat a few spoonfuls, leave the rest in the can
    Chai tea latte? Same principle, also make it at home
    You’ll save on money, sugar, teeth and that meaningless foam
    Only LA can afford to guzzle down chocolate cakes on a daily basis
    But for me small portions are the only way to keep my cholesterol in stasis

    Morning Joan how are you today? I hope your mouth is still ok? and that your blood pressure stays low without the tablets now.

    You were just shyer than Sue I am so glad you realised your voice deserves to be heard too. 100% your money is as good as anyone's! Aha! you are getting Lola the pink Fig (far too bright a pink in my opinion😂 Penelope is a nice nicer shade) in Swindon?! I have her on instagram too.

    Our Pink Fig is much more tasteful don't you agree?! But LOVELY of her owner to help raise money for cancer. That is so kind. Can you get there to see her? I'd love it if you could and get a photo too😊

    A few of the dogs don't like the dryer. Tia has got some special drying coats for them have you heard of them? I don't know how it works but it does.

    Take care Joan have a good day.((())) xxx

    Morning Reshmi

    That's good to see you are feeling much better (apart from the eye strain that's not great) hope your Mum is too.

    How lovely she had some of her female friends visiting she needs that. I doubt she goes out like you do to interact with people nor has any online friends like us?

    What an absolutely brilliant poem!!! "….You’ll save on money, sugar, teeth and that meaningless foam…" Reshmi you really do have a way with words😁The foam is meaningless and just really rather silly! Pretty but silly!

    and these two lines too "….I have neither Slow metabolism

    Nor skinny frame, nor gym addiction…" So true of most of us it is indeed all about portion size….sigh🙄

    Thank you. Hope your day is a good one ((())) xxx

    Morning Toady

    Oh no! I did already know about the imminent calamity! Sleek came in the door bashing about and shrieking about the 'injustice of it all! After all the work you both did too. How long is this disruption going to be for? Well for certain Toad do NOT tidy up for them just make sure there's access to your box. Honestly though - in or out? Which is it🙄 I think I persuaded Sleek to enjoy the little room for now and try to live in the present a bit. I picture her on your lap on the stairs both rocking gently moaning and chewing your tassels…..

    I was only seeing the vet er sorry dentist about the TMJD she is going to write to the GP about pain relief. She wants me to be able to take some nsaids and mine arcoxia (gentle on the stomach) is now banned due to the blood thinners. Me too reference my jaw it was initially an early casualty of this arthritis malarkey 'going' (getting stuck slightly open for a month), but had behaved really well in spite of it's over-use as Paul would say since then😁

    My jaw is extremely painful although I can knock it back with painkillers I am convinced I settled it down with my nsaids back then. Glad yours isn't painful though Toad it's kind of miserable really. The receptionist (has RA) had had her hands injected and said the chap who did it has also done jaws😯 what do you think????? Scary eh?, but I actually think I'd give it a go.

    Mouthguard is last on the list for me though.

    I hope today at least is a good one for you ((())) xxx

    Morning Stuartknee how are you doing with your new medication? I hope coping ok and it is helping a bit. Take care.

    some warm frittata for breakfast

    Good morning everyone

    Toady (()) I got in alright this morning. The screen doesn’t change. Sorry about the gas man he didn’t seem very friendly. We have drizzle today and the weekend. I’m not going to town it’s too cold. I read London are having snow in about a fortnight. Have a good day

    Toni (()) sorry about your mouth you seem to have one pain after another I’m sorry (()) I have high metabolism I’m on the go all the time doing something. No the Figaro is too far away. Yes I know our friend gave us a towel that you put the dog in they have to sit sill it doesn’t have a place for their legs to come out. The lady doesn’t want to come again she said because I don’t want them to have a wash every time. Did you see Arya and her mums yesterday (()) have a good day. Love to Paul (()) and Charley (()) and Annie (()) and Arya (()) and Lucy (()) and Tia (()) and Kari (()) and your friend (()) and your lovely neighbours (())

    Reshmi (()) have a good day have the workmen finished. Love to your mum (())

    Stuart knee (()) how are you and your pains. Have a good day

    Hi all 👋 well here we are, another day, on with the motley 🃏 and very motley it is too usually.

    Yes I'll do my best to live in the moment frog I promise 👍️ and will pick myself up ofc, but I do wonder why it's me always doing the putting up & shutting up and liking or lumping and working around other people 😔 quite galling to think what a different few years it would have been if I had lived somewhere else, even (for all I know) a few 100 yards away 🤷‍♀️. No idea when they are starting the gas there will be more Important Letters no doubt 🙄 so it will just be hanging over one til then. Of course I have started several garage projects, post gasman, having no notion whatever of letting anyone in there.. 🙄 there is always this sort of knock-on effect not just the thing itself, now I have to down tools, move stuff, tidy up. Blah. Thanks for the sympathy, they have to do these things I know, but the timing, it's always the timing! Sleek on my knee anywhere will be a big consolation ofc 😽. Hope your day is going ok - I am just browsing whilst still trying to buy jeans, 3 failed pairs in a row, I have two size 6's here from the same brand, one with a waistband of 11.5" and one of 14", that's 5 inches difference overall! Hopeless. Very murky and overcast here I don't suppose there's any sun to be had anywhere for you either. Oh I see the dentist was for that alone, all the best if they can sort out some acceptable nsaids for you. Stuck slightly open, ooer no never had that 😮 would I be injected well not for mine as it is, even though eating can be awkward (didn't Kitty have that too? letterbox mouth 😬) but for pain, well would have to consider I guess, are there risks? As to shoulder yes hope it stays manageable 🤞. Oh I love Penelope's pink far more, no question, genuine objective opinion 👍️ (and Lola! ooh la la! 🤭) but yes great idea 😊. Love to everyone take care 👋 :) xx

    Hello Joan, I haven't seen the actual gasmen they have just put information through the letterbox. I am past caring to be honest if they are friendly or not as long as they get the job done and go away - worst time of year for this sort of disturbance 🙄. How odd what happens when you try & get in to cafe, no problems again anytime soon I hope. What a shame the person won't take the dogs on again, that seems a bit inflexible 😔. Yes it was noticeable the cold this morning, I will probably regret saying I must have a walk today but I really ought to later. I will come straight in here for hot tea after ☕️😊 have a good afternoon :) xx

    Hi bosh, oh no teabags in the sink, that's me I'm afraid 😳😱😬. Well if I could just get round to buying this tea strainer like I keep saying I could use loose leaf and that would be one advantage! Hope the one-off mxt is not too bad for you today. Love the poem, yes other people's slightly personal opinion on what you're eating or not eating.. 🤨 one of my neighbours told me yet again this week how much weight I've apparently lost 🙄 if I had done, every time they've said it to me, I would be in minus figures by now and a phantom myself 🙄. Anyway people say these things out of concern I suppose but it's not one of my favourite things. Back to the poem yes very well put, some people would be glad of your self control too ofc 👍️. As to the actual phantom neighbour, quiet today thankfully, just working their way up to making noise at the same time as the phantom gasmen no doubt. I blame the phantom plumbers they have set some sort of snowball effect off if you ask me. Take care hope you have a quiet afternoon yourself :) xx

    Hope you are ok Stuart, maybe the meds will pick up working again for you - hope so 🤞xx

    Love to everyone 😘 xx

    hi Toni

    Yes mum doesn’t really have online friends, she also doesn’t go out that much

    Yesterday was also a kind of religious ceremony to celebrate LA and BR not getting covid, a kind of belated blessing ceremony with nice food and socialising etc

    Thanks about the poem

    J the organiser is a very nice lady but she was scandalised by me just having half a hot chocolate 🤷‍♀️

    Never mind lol

    Have a good night Toni and tc xx

    hi young at heart toady

    Oh dear a snowball effect- that does sound worrying

    Yes people’s delightful good intentions

    Every week at group I have to explain that I’m not drinking the whole bottle of squash lol

    I had to order a replacement reacher grabber for downstairs as our favourite hooligan LA has sabotaged the current one - oh dear

    LA also told mum that one day the heating at school wasn’t working as the toilets were blocked, well super - talented he definitely is, but a plumber he is not, probably just as well, I’ve seen enough plumbers to last a lifetime, may have to send a few of them to ‘boldly (or was it baldly?😂) go’ and all that lol

    Who does the plumbing on Planet Vulcan? I think it’s Big Ella

    Ok good night toady and everyone tc xx

    Morning Joan how are you feeling? Well I hope. Did you say the dog groomer won't come again unless you have the dogs washed every time?! I'm sure we are all washing our dogs too often you know it can't be good for their skin and fur isn't it naturally cleaning??? Tia's doggy dryer towels do have leg holes as you can imagine they are soaked after their exercises in the pool. They need a shower to get the chlorine out, but I know they aren't cheap so not worth buying.

    So you are the sort of person who rarely sits still then?! That keeps your weight down I bet.

    I did see my Grandbaby she is just adorable I must post another photo in a PM for everyone to see. Charley and Annie don't want any photos online, but I can share them that way. Charley pulled her back though so is being careful just now.

    Shame you didn't get to see Lola-Fig. They don't come to any of the club do's. We go to the Isle of Man next year 64 Figgies!😊

    Take care Joan ((())) xxx

    Morning Reshmi

    I hope you are feeling way better today now it's my turn…..🤢

    How is your Mum? How lovely that her friends helped her give thanks for the health of the boys and also to have a good chat as only friends can😊

    You've said before that J is lovely. She was impressed by your self control? You know what you are doing though and as the poem says it is all about portion size. Sadly🙄

    Oh dear it's all going wrong at LA's school they need a good plumber so i don't recommend yours after what they did to your bathroom. At least they put it right. The same thing happened to the loos at Charley and Tia's primary but it turned out that some children were actually bunging up the toilets😖

    Take care Reshmi have a good Saturday ((())) xxx

    Morning Stuartknee I bet the parents next door feel exactly the same as you. Why can't the baby sleep a little longer 😴. I hope you don't have to retreat to another room to avoid noisy neighbours like our Toady. How are you getting on with the new meds?

    Morning Toady hope you are doing ok?

    Sleek has shredded the gas letter i am so sorry I heard the shredder going and didn't know why she was just so cross about it all. She is of the opinion that extra rich (unhealthy) expensive treats might be needed when the property gets invaded again.

    Did I say that Tia's Grandad sadly died this week? The poor man did incredibly well to keep going so we have a funeral to attend. That will certainly change Christmas this year - no need to book the special taxi for him to get here😕

    I have also noticed the difference in waist sizes of clothing isn't it mad? HUGE disparity. How on earth can we ever buy online? I have even noticed it buying in 'real-life' in the past same sizes (in theory) on the rail but not with the tape measure. Infuriating. I need some new jeans too much get that sorted soon.

    Letterbox mouth on no. Yes I know what you mean about Kitty. An injection might be too late for your jaw? Maybe not for mine who knows let's see what the GP thinks when they hear from the dentist. She is 100% on my side though she is adorable.

    Lola car doesn't join any of the Fig-club events you know the sign of a bit of a show-off owner maybe?😉 We are off to the IOM next year 64 of us. I can't wait 😊 BUT I give credit where it's due she is helping raise money for cancer which is just so important.

    Still murky here and I am sure colder yesterday too. Take care Toady ((())) xxx

    I want this bubble car!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi all - have had mega workmen noise all day solid from 8am 😒 I can't possibly come in with yet another round of being a mood hoover having a moanfest or pity party or whatever other inanities our dictionaries are stuffed with these days, more fool them - so will leave you all in peace until I get some sort of all clear. Can't think atm let alone chat. Keep me a strong cuppa on the side ta 👍️

    So sorry to hear about Tia's Grandad frog when he had done so very very well, love to all and all the best for the funeral 😘 xx

    Oh dear I hope you don't have rat problems Joan. Good luck with the electrics on Tues as well. Don't worry my jaw isn't really a bother to me I'm used to it, it's not like I'm the kind of person who wants to eat chunky big burgers etc, mostly I can eat what I want, just have to nibble at things sometimes 😄 but thank you 😘 xx

    Love to bosh 👋I won't be young at heart much longer at this rate, this noise is putting years on me, well I guess I should put headphones on and sit it out til they're done. They may get some unwelcome noise off me after this though 😉 well no not on purpose I wouldn't be petty, but I will worry slightly less about being considerate I don't see why I should creep round like a mouse. I hope your day has been ok see you anon 😘

    All the best to Stuart I am heartily in sympathy with you over noise as you can imagine, hope you get an even break here & there.

    Love to everyone not in too xx

    A medical person asked why I was limping & I told him he asked what my pain scale is 1 being painfree & 15 being in strong pain, so I explained 15 is when I was when I broke my knee & currently I am a 14. The painkillers only take the edge of the pain, I would love some stronger ones but I'll have to check myself into hospital to get some. I have some probs sleeping at night especially with neighbours waking me up I seem to get 4-5 hours of sleep a night, being cranky in the morning. So everyone this is how my day is.

    Morning

    Hi Joan how are you doing? Is your throat still ok can you eat ok now? I am fine don't worry about me just annoyed about the jaw Paul would say i talk too much.😁You'd better not have rats but best for them to check for you. Good the cord is getting fixed - your neighbour sounds lovely 😊The funeral directors managed to get the funeral in before Christmas 25th so that's good at least. Take care Joan ((())) xxx

    Morning Reshmi I hope you and your Mum are ok? Yes watch your eyes they are precious and eye strain actually hurts doesn't it?

    I am doing ok thanks a bit queasy yesterday, but I get by as you know. Thank you for asking.

    Poor Poe that boy licks everyone's cakes and spoils a good party🙄

    Glad you managed your walk I did too although it was quite a quick one then another quick walk with Paul later. Trying get him moving a bit.

    It's a shame we need these service people plumbers etc they are so difficult to get hold of and charge the earth. I dread to think what they'd charge a school though😣

    Have a good and restful Sunday Reshmi ((())) xxx

    Morning Toady

    I hope you are feeling as well as possible.

    Sleek is of the opinion that yes you ought to make some noise in order fro them to be aware that they can be heard next door.

    You'll be glad to know that i have hidden both her bagpipes and drum kit though

    She is however bringing over her iPad so you can both watch a film together. 'Nine lives' I think it's called. Oh and a box of posh chocolates from marks and sparks. Take care ((())) xxx

    Morning Stuartknee well you explained it all very well there. Like Toady I do wish you'd get an even break. Sometimes all we need is one decent night sleep to make us feel so much better. I know there is strong stuff out there we could take, but I have only taken that myself for very brief periods like post surgery and am glad it's there for times like that. Take care Stuart.

    vegan option available of course if I haven't eaten it all😉

    Good morning everyone

    Toady (()) you could ask your neighbour how much longer they will be. Perhaps because you are a lady. If a family lived in your house the man would be there quick enough shouting and swearing at them. So they are not worried about you. Sorry you have a problem eating. I have a problem swallowing my throat stops things going down I think it’s having c palsy. Have a good day.

    Toni (()) that’s good they can fit the funeral in before Christmas. We had rats in the kitchen a few years ago. This was waist ground be for the bungalows were built. Yes thank you my throat is better now. The Dr said years ago I have a high pain threshold because when I broke my hip I only felt it aching so I was still hobbling around. Have a good day love to Paul (()) and Charley (()) and Annie (()) and Arya (()) and Lucy (()) and Tia (()) and Kari (()) and your friend (()) and your lovely neighbours (())

    Reshmi (()) love to you and your mum (()) have a good day

    Stuart knee (()) have you got ear plugs. Have a good day.

    take care

    Hi Toady

    Do you have the same probs as me, Do you sit down for 5+ mins & find it impossible to stand/let n walk its stabbin burning sensation, so its really annoying especially at night.
