    Hello Coco. Thanks for the goodies to keep us going. Having put on 5lbs in weight over the Christmas I'd better have just the one piece of pie.

    Love to everyone

    I was so sad to hear Toni's news. She's such a lovely person and a very special cafe friend. Just hoping that Lucy will receive the best of care and she is better soon. Keeping Toni and her family in my thoughts and prayers - and sending them my love xx

    As Rosie Glow said Toni is strong. But this a lot to cope with, especially being unwell herself. i also hope her Daughter Charlie will continue with her studies at uni and not let this disrupt her studies.

    Toni is always so kind to everyone else it seems so unfair.....

    Morning all,It does feel strange on the forum as if we are all in limbo,I send my good wishes to everyone.
    I have made comfort food so if you wander into the cafe just help yourself there's shepherds pie with cheesey mash and cauliflower cheese. Mig

    Hello everyone,

    Mig, that`s exactly the right word....Limbo. I am thinking of Toni - and Lucy of course - all the time, and wishing there was something I could do. I`m sure though that all our love and prayers will help, in some small way.

    Toni, I hope you find the strength to cope.......Thinking of you with much love.....Rosie.x.

    Hugs to Toni. So hoping she is able to rest herself. Those hospital facilities aren't always the best for parents.

    Hoping everyone else is well. Sorry to hear about your friend flooded Barbara. We seemed to escape the worst of it this time although I'm sure one of the trees is leaning a bit to the right and a little bit forward.

    2 out of 3 children are back. I thought Lucy had the day off but the school rang at 10 to ask where she was!

    Elizabeth xx

    Mig, you were 'spot on' when using the word 'limbo' - that's exactly how I'm feeling. Really fancy the menu too :)

    Elizabeth, that's a mistake so easily made.

    Toni and Lucy, you are never far from my thoughts x

    Love to everyone x

    Hi Limbo is a great word for the way we feel.
    Val will always be in our thoughts and prayerfully Lucy will be on the mend soon and then Toni will be back on the forum

    Love

    Limbo is the right word. I think we're all waiting for things to feel better. Still thinking of Val and sending positive vibes to Toni and Lucy.

    Your poor friend, Barbara. Hope she can get things sorted out soon. Our river is very high but hasn't burst it banks this time and our High Street Xmas tree nearly blew away last night. The enforcement officers managed to tie it down.

    Thanks for the comfort food Mig. I think we all need it.

    Elizabeth, I used to send the kids to school when they were supposed to be off so I know it's easy done.

    Coco, there is a thread about what is going on with Toni if you want to catch up but I'm sure no-one thinks you are intruding. We are all friends in here.

    I managed to go to work today but only sat and did the ironing. They didn't expect anything more. Then had a dentist appointment to remove an old bridge and have the preparations done for a new one. I burst out laughing while the dentist was drilling. She stopped suddenly wondering what was wrong. Took me a few minutes to stop laughing before I could tell her that she'd had her little finger up my nose. She obviously didn't feel it because she had rubber gloves on.

    Hi to everyone I haven't mentioned. Hope you are all ok.

    Fence has blown down in the winds, hope you are all safe. Sorry to read about your friend Barbara, hope she gets sorted soon.

    Anyhow I just wanted to say hi and send you all big hugs.

    Hi Everyone,

    Lovely to see some new faces in the cafe - new to me anyway :)

    Barbara, what a wait you've had for those patches - hope he writes a script for you soon.
    I remember having that gas Barbara when I was about 6. I woke up in the chair laughing my head off.....dreamt I was being chased through the high street by all my school teachers lol

    Good to see Toni has posted on the update thread. So. pleased Lucy's treatment has begun. Lots of hugs to them both x

    We've just had hailstones the size of golf balls :o , but no flooding thankfully.
    Those poor people in the USA....crikey what low temperatures they're having to endure... Fingers crossed that we don't have the same :shock:

    Better make tracks. See you all later.

    Hi Clare. Yes we are all feeling a little sad at the moment. Glad you have got sorted out and hope you get your fence fixed ok.

    Barbara, hope your GP has prescribed you the patches. I think you deserve them. We'll have to keep a macchiato ready and waiting for Toni.

    Catie, those hail golf balls sound bad. Hope you weren't outside in them.

    Hileena, yes it is terrible in the US, isn't it? So glad we don't get it as bad here.

    The window cleaner arrived at work today to clean the windows in the pouring rain. He was soaked through but kept going. Never known anyone clean the windows while it chucked it down. :lol:

    We have a girl opposite us and she is always cleaning the car.....its not hers...its "theirs" but you never see him cleaning it :?
    The other day when it was absolutely pouring down I looked out the kitchen window and there she was.....cleaning away at the car :?: :?: :shock:
    At least the window cleaner gets paid for it.......she doesn't unless her OH gives her pocket money for doing it :lol::lol:

    Love

    Hello everyone,

    I`m just putting a candle in the window for Lucy, with a little posy of freesias. Let`s make sure the candle remains lit until she is well again.

    Had my final check up this morning, and the Surgeons exact words were that I`d made an "incredible recovery", and then said he could tell I`d worked hard to achieve it. He`s asked the physio, who still comes to my home, to order a splint of some sort for under the dropped toes. This should, hopefully, help give me better balance. I`m still a bit like Aggie Wobble when I get nervous. Added to all this, Arthur has now set up home in my left wrist. Came on very suddenly, and I was hoping it may be something else. The way it`s lasting, I doubt it though.

    I haven`t been sleeping well, so have succumbed to taking a zopiclone tonight. I really need some good sleep.......Much love to you all, especially our Toni and Lovely Lucy......Rosie.x.
