Hi Joan Mums still having problems with folic acid. Its not a pansy its a primrose

bosh

hi Toni

How are you this afternoon?

Mums ok 👍

I am speaking to you post - mxt so I’m 🤢🤢

The atmosphere in this house also can be expressed by green sick faced emojis I’m afraid
it just seems to be getting worse and worse

On a different subject I left the fb women’s health type group but I recently joined another one, I asked a question about the pm symptoms etc but unfortunately the people who got back to me, although they probably meant well, gave advice I didn’t agree with the authority of doctors and asked irrelevant questions and basically it wasn’t helpful to me,

on the other hand I asked a similar question in the demi*****l group and was pleasantly surprised by the response I got, no one assumed medical knowledge and basically it was comforting and interesting to know about other women going through the same thing and the same trauma even though their perspectives were a bit different to mine.

Mxt hit me hard today, even though I did rest a lot, albeit brokenly, it’s one of those days when I still feel I had insufficient rest and mood is low,

Oh well this happens to us all at times I know 👍

How is Antigua today?

Or are you in a different country now?

Ok this in an instalment day

So bye for now tc xx

🙏greetings Joan toady Jojo SK and S knee xx

And this Elf was cold so got in a cuddle puddle here Kari took a photo

Hope everyone is OK.

Toady with the workmen (Elfie is there annoying them)

Reshmi Hope you feel better today. Joan we're in phililpsburg I think that's right. Glad you got some support. I'll dodge BILs cupcakes....🤢

Hope your Mum feels a bit better.

Stuart poor Ollie safety first though have you rebooked?

Joan somewhere very hot thars for sure!

JoJo how is your back,?

Where is Keef though? Hope all is well

Take care everyone ((())) xxx

Jojo_16

Hi frogmorton my back is definitely better than before I'm still trying to be careful not like it's easy when house work needs to be done just trying to do bits at the time. I hope you are well and I hope you are having a lovely time away.

toady

Hi all 👋 ooh am I glad to get in here for tea and a sit-down with you all 😀

Workmen have been today and now departed Joan 👍️ and finished ahead of what I estimated 😀. Not a bad job (it was only a little thing) I'd give them a B+ if I'm generous 😉, I don't think I'm ever likely to give anyone an A I don't think those sort of workmen exist, well maybe The King has some. I'm so glad you got a rose 😊 what's it called? I saw one I liked called Summer Song online at the place that Toni likes not far from her, I don't have a place in mind to put one at the moment though. Have a good Friday I have nothing planned and at least I am even ahead with the housework because I just kept doing bits while the men were here, for something to pass the time 😄. Love to the dogs & yourself 😘 xx

Hi bosh, I think I am among the lacquered myself now and I haven't even used an undercoat or topcoat, or even looked at my cuticles, whatever will become of me 😬😂. Sorry it's mean old mxt day I hope you feel better soon. And get some better uninterrupted rest 🤞 I intend to have a nap now if poss. Glad your mum is ok today. That hat you found for me 😮😂 and even more startling, that hair, yet we are only talking about a few generations back, whatever would they make of us today. Funny old world. By the way the nosegay parcel will not be coming back, heard nothing from seller just had to open an ebay item not received thing and be refunded 🤷‍♀️ ah well nothing irreplaceable. Hope your evening is ok as poss :) xx

Nice to hear from you frog, looks like you are in a lovely place lots to see and do, maybe not the extreme sports side of things 😮 take care and enjoy it all. Elfie was in fact a great asset keeping an eye on the men and coming to tell me if they were doing things right 👍️ (they were, more or less 😉) it gave him something to do anyway. He looks happy to have company in the pic with his nice friends, so he won't be bored 😊 hope Kari is feeling much better now. Love to all & at home too 😘 xx

Sorry to hear about Ollie Stuart, I expect you told the vets when you cancelled, are they happy do you think that's it's just fur etc, hope he goes on ok. Sorry your mum and the folic acid are still not getting on 😔 that's a nuisance. Hope you have a better Friday & weekend xx

Hi to SK, and to Jojo, hope your day has been ok 👋 xx

bosh

I’m battling with the thermostat again

Good morning everyone

Toady (()) the rose is called Orange Princess and I got a Pieris little heath. They are going in patio pots. Charlie is trying to get on the internet he brought his laptop for me to put the password in it is so different to mine he wanted the capital letter to start you could put the password in but you couldn’t get any further it seemed as if it was locked. he’s asking his grandson to do it. I’m glad everything went well I had a new systern put on the toilet yesterday it’s press button. Have a good day

Toni (()) good it’s nice and warm there. Have a good day thank you for getting on here. I saw on the news yesterday a lady of a hundred and two had a new hip she wanted to carry on seeing her friends.

Jojo (()) have a good day that’s good you are feeling better.

Reshmi (()) how are you to day love to your mum (())

Stuart (()) sorry I haven’t got any of those. I sorry Ollie was sick his he better today. I hope your mum (()) things get sorted for her soon.

Skinny Keef (()) how are you love to Loanda (()) and Sucre (())

bosh

hi Toni tone of the rotary phone

How are you doing today?

Mums ok 👍

But she did have low blood pressure before

I’m okay thanks

Poem is in the bank

Bye for now tc xx

Ps I’m not sure what’s happening here, don’t tell the physio xx

toady

Hi folks 👋 nice day but the cold has just set in this afternoon, quite nippy.

Joan your rose looks lovely I looked it up 😊 double blooms too 😀 I'm sure it will be happy. I can't remember having had a pieris but I seem to think I once did, just can't be sure, they are nice though. Nice foliage aren't they 👍️. I got out this morning & did a little lawn edging while the sun was out, not much else, it was a bit tiring yesterday. Ooh a new cistern that will be me next I think 😬 unless I can get my chap to just fix mine for now but he may say it's not worth it. I'm old fashioned I like a handle 🤭 hope you get on nicely with it. Good luck to Charlie, I have been trying to update a banking app for an hour and I'm still at it; it's app only, I think I will close the account after this! Did you see about where in Scotland they are building 400 homes (too many 🙄) on the site of a former hospital and want to call the roads things like Virology Grove and Laboratory Place 😮 would you like to live there the article says, no thanks! Have a good Saturday 😘 xx

Wave to frog where'er she may be 👋😘 all fine here today :) xx

Hi bosh I love the teacup on head pic, I even quite like that 'look' and the dresses, not sure why, not me at all really! The egg with a pearl earring is so funny too, it's just like it! perfect. Oh nail polish topcoat, no not round here either haha, my 'routine' is paint them and then promptly do something involving digging in the garden or sandpapering 😬😂. Hope your mum is ok now no low bp reoccurrence 🤞. Hope your day is ok too, not too much thermostat wrangling involved. I forgot to say the pen & sweets sounded interesting, never seen a combo like that before! have you resisted, or mostly? my current snack 'du jour' is a 'funsize' single Tw*x, nothing upmarket 😄. Have a good weekend 🤞 xx

Sorry it's been a couple of bad days SK, hopefully on the up, have a good weekend :) xx

Love to Jojo and Stuart 👋 xx

Tea up ☕️ xx

bosh

hi toady or toad of the cosy duvet

Sorry you’re lacquered too

I’m very much in the land of cod

Full report tomorrow hopefully

Have a good snooze

Stay away from the quick hunger fix

They call T*ix

They’re as addictive as booze

That’s all I can manage lol

👋Night toady and everyone tc xx

Ps gothic tea xx

dachshund

Good morning everyone

Toady (()) The cistern would only work once a day because it took so long to fill up again. I just ordered some soil and I’ve got a plant Agapanthus and an Acer I had one before but I thought it was getting a bit tall for a tub so I trimmed the top and it died I find it easier having plants in tubs. Have a good day

Reshmi (()) have a good day how is your mum (())

Stuart (()) how is Ollie love to your mum (())

Jojo (()) have a good day

Skinny Keef (()) have a good day love to Loanda (()) and Sucr’e (())

Morning ❤️

Morning Joan. All those plants for your pots I am envious 😊

Gosh no can't be flushing the loo once a day😲

Sure Charlie's grandson can sort his tech out for him. ((())) xxx

Good to read Jojo that your back is on the mend. I agree we all need cleaners!!! Save our backs or shoulders🤭 ((())) xxx

I only want fresh fruit and nuts for breakfast Skinny Keef can you knock me some up?

Glad you are a bit better again. Well enough to feed your two is a good sign ((())) xxx

Stuart - how are you doing? When is your next injection? I can't remember. Is Ollie's appt rebooked? (())

Morning Reshmi.

TThAts the tjing with restricted fluids. Your bp drops catch 22. Also with age pur bp drops😕 hope she's ok though your Mum.

obviously she's chilly and needs the heating on! I bet your sister agrees with you that it's a bit hit there.

Take care of yourself ((())) xxx

Morning Toady

Glad workmen did OK with Elfie sweeping up after them.

Today is the 'Death in paradise' island so excited I am braving a bad coach trip to the set. I have some acupressure bands and some kwells ready.

See you soon I hope don't tell Sleek but its the V*t when I get home.

Kari is on the mend. Not so my friend she is still v poorly so Sleek has has my sister and Tia mostly ((())) xxx

Loved this flower...

bosh

good afternoon Toni

How are you?
Nice to hear from you

Glad you are having a nice time

Mum is okay 👍

I see thanks for the info about blood pressure and water restriction
her blood pressure is good today, thank you, but yesterday it was not and I helped her by giving her water when she needed it in a controlled way, of course

I wrote this poem about manicurists that kind of subjects. Bye for now

Vc poem called “The Manicurist and The Magic Teapot”
The Manicurist said, “Tell me your secrets and triumphs don’t resist the urge to confess”
“But” I replied, “If I do that you will be in a position of power- a shift in the balance I would need to redress.
No I’m just here to give my nails a treat, even though I have no glamorous talons like the toad
You see toady told me my nails need proper treatment or else it’s a slippery road
And I will soon be looking scruffy as a midnight bat flying through the skies
She also said I need to watch my diet I do not to eat any of dads or bills fattening pies.”
The manicurist said “If you and your friend are constantly feeling the lacquer
I can recommend a nail polish remover made of nasty M’s vitriol that also tastes good on any cracker
Whether of the vegan or non - vegan variety, it matters not
I require no monetary payment just magic tea fresh from toady’s pot
Toni take care xx

Hi Frog

My doc's app is on 8th April, Ollie's op is 24th March.

Mum's got a stiff neck. My ankle got a brace on it still aching

toady

Hi all 👋 not much doing with me, half asleep standing up today 🙄 up for the milk in early hours and did quite a bit yesterday I suppose.

Glad all's well frog, even if there is a bit too much coach for your liking 😬 well worth it I hope. I certainly won't mention the V word to Sleek whatsoever, we may as well enjoy our weekend 👍️ poor you though on your return. Glad to hear Kari is doing well but oh dear your poor friend what an age she has been unwell 😟 v sorry for her. Nothing else to report here, no new seedlings much, oh your pic won;t show unfortunately, lost in the translation somewhere 😔 maybe you have the image still for another time. Take care love to both 😘 xx

Hello Joan, lovely plants 😊 I have some agapanthus too one of my rare successes growing from seed 😬 yes in pots, I do like pots. I don't have acer they are lovely though. Oh dear that cistern it was seriously below par wasn't it 😱 plumbing is so marvellous when it wrks and you barely think about it and awful when it doesn't. I had some new bathroom basin taps a while back they are super compared to the old. Cold here today hoping for a slightly better Sunday but the temps are only really budging much by midweek. Have a good evening 😘 xx

Hi bosh, well that is a manicurist to be wary of 😬 trying to extract our innermost beauty shortcomings 😱 though that polish remover sounds like hot stuff! 😮 if it would really remove lacquered-ness we would all be queueing up. I have been shamed into filing mine today, the power of the internet haha, they are very short in fact I can't operate with long nails and they look silly on me anyway. I have painted them a suitable toad green, well more a mint green called Summer Fields, the manicurist can like it or lump it, at least I get marks for trying 😄👍️. Super poem I like it very much 😊. Hope your day is not too bad, I was awake for the milk more like 4am I think than midnight, he brought white bread (don't tell GI Joe) instead of half & half so maybe he was half asleep as well 🤷‍♀️. Have a good evening I will beware of the Tw*x I promise 😄 xx

Sorry you and your mum are both stiff and/or braced up 😣 hope the ankle responds to that and some rest 🤞 have as good a Sunday as poss xx

Wave to Jojo and SK 😘 have a good Sunday xx

bosh

hi toady

How are you?
All sorts of “well” has broken out

My goodness I’m running from the demons but I’m wearing holey snow boots

More later hopefully

Bye for now toady tc xx

bosh

hi toady

How are you tonight?

The sweets and pen thing I’ve experienced once before actually and I resisted then as I was not that tired and was also near a bin at that time lol

This time however opposite circumstances but it was only a mini packet so not that evil - or so i tell myself haha

Thanks very much about the poem

When I wrote about about the manicurist I was also thinking about Facebook

what I mean is that you know when sometimes you go to the manicurist or someone similar and the person tries tonwheedle information out of you, personal stuff and you feel uncomfortable?

Well of course, lots of people do that on Facebook, and not in any way that can be misconstrued as friendliness or boredom they just want to put you in a vulnerable position mentally so basically we can call the manicurist Marcella Zuckerberg haha.

Don’t worry I love T*ixes too

I was just waxing (or eating, lol) lyrical

4 am oh dear - did you manage a nap later on?

Have you ever had D*ablo no added sugar choc boxes?

They are so nice and mum says they genuinely are “diabetic friendly”

I have to call the GPs’ surgery on Monday to arrange an appointment about iron levels - oh the excitement never ends does it?

Have a good night toady - I’ll have some white toasts please lol tc xx

👋night also to Toni Joan Jojo SK and S knee tc xx
Ps just a badge - shaped reminder for toady, don’t eat your flowers or your friends- as for milkmen, it depends if they bring you white bread or not - “the jury is out” as they metaphorically, although not literally, I hope haha

Otherwise I may have to raise some bail money by selling excess cheese 🧀 xx
