CONGRATULATIONS Kerrin!!



Exiting times ahead

No snow Aidan and no frost so a good day today.

Got to go to the hairdresser today so have to leave Lucy for the first time. I will be anxious Diddicat is staying in to Lucy-sit.

I hope there is an update on your phone today. Keep up with the shortbread fingers - it's really all you can do. :? There is a supply (decaf tea and coffee too) n the windowsill.

Naughty Pepe annoying his Mum!! You are right to ban skype and tuna you can hardly ground him and if you could it would be counter-productive

They still ask whether you have 'been' every day on the wards!! It's so important isn't it - if you can't!

Christine good to see you am sure Lucy will be ok too, but I will worry.

What IS going on with the internet then and TV?? It's all going mad I tell you MAD!!!

I managed to get our decs in the loft too. Easy with some help from Charley. Especially as our loft isn't - a loft!

I spotted 2 blackbirds 7 pigeons 1 robin and 4 blackbirds in my hour

Carol I am gad to hear Mr Turbo was chatty for you birthday meal

I think they say new babies have some of their mum's immunity so hopefully that helped her bless them both ((()))

Elizabeth I am so with you on all of that. Jedward are being treated terribly by Nicole. I love the way Kim calls her Nicola deliberately!! Go Kim!!!

Thank you my Lucy is doing brilliantly.

Your OH just doesn't get kids if he thinks it's that easy getting them all ready and co-operating It's really hard!!

Poor Dan I hope he is ok now.

I am so glad the boiler is being fixed

Not impressed about the 'pick u points' I am sure it will save them money, but will be harder on the kids and parents :roll:

Ah Kath - sorry about Diddicat's visit - did it spoil your bird watching? I did tell her to keep out of they way or I'd get none!! I wish they did it in summer as the birds all follow the mow-bot!!

Barbara a new boiler would be quicker and cheaper - think of the hours spent looking at it and thinking about it all wasted!!

To me it's wrong leaving Joan like that in the cold (and Sue of course).

Lucy didn't need me in the end. I left her supplies.

We have to get her dressing changed tomorrow as hers is letting air in. Not good as she had to keep it covered for 2 weeks.

Sorry I started this before I left for the hairdressers so I hope it still makes some sense!!

Love to everyone

Kerrin, wow wonderful news. Congratulations to you and your fiance. Have you picked a date yet for the wedding? Hope the competitions went well.

Joan, I've started copying my post so that I can paste it if I get signed out. It's so frustrating when you have finished writing then lose it all. Any sign of your heating being fixed yet?

Aiden, it's so good that mum and dad are out and about every day. Hope T*sc* don't keep your phone for too long now they've got it. I sometimes get a bit fed up with groundhog day and change things around a bit but that's no good with medication, is it?

Toni, there do seem to be lots of internet problems. Quite a few people have been reporting freezing pages or total loss. I thought I saw Diddycat in my garden yesterday morning. I could see a dark cat shape hiding in the greenery round the pond. It didn't move so I eventually decided to go and have a look. Turned out to be a metal owl I had forgotten about. :oops: I knew Lucy would be ok but of course you would worry. I would too.

Carol, happy birthday. Hope you have been having a lovely day. :cake:

It seemed like a long day today. Went to my boss's mum's house. She asked me to clean 2 bedrooms, hers and the little room. I did them then she asked if I had time to finish and if I'd done the other big bedroom so I had to go back up to do that too. She also wanted to chat so spent quite a while doing nothing. I don't mind as she is interesting to talk to and I think she is feeling a little lonely now she isn't needed as much to look after the children. I was glad I had already made my tea yesterday so only had to warm it up.

bubbles

just a quick hi and early good morning to one and all

Glad that Lucy was ok Toni and you had your hair preened. Diddicat would have made sure things were ok at home. I know you would have been anxious and then some.

Yes, the update on the tracking site, my phone is with an engineer, not sure what he or she is doing with it, but it is "being looked at". :?
I will have a dacaf coffee and maybe one or two shortbreads just to tide me over. As you say, it's all I can do Sorry Kath, it is a bit dark, I nearly sat on you, didn't see you there, looking at the lovely view.

I am glad they still ask "have you been" on the wards, good that some things don't change.

Will they do Lucy's dressing at the GP surgery? Won't do any harm to check that things are doing ok.

TV is going all to pot, we are leaving sky, no way are we staying as we only watch Eurosport and maybe some golf. I am not paying them £138 a month, to have 13 channels removed overnight on the 1st Feb. Our internet was having dicky turns the other day as well. There be gremlins about.

Hi Christine, I often save my post to drafts, if I think there will be an interruption, which there usually is.
I am sure my phone / or replacement phone, will be sent out asap, they seem to be on with whatever they are doing.
We try and mix things up too, from day to day, but Mum likes the GC so we go there. We have reduced our visits there to twice a week, to be honest it get expensive, even when you take it in turns to pay.............now I sound like a right skin flint, which I am not. It is nice to have coffee and croissants at home too.
Medication, well it is a staple part of our days I guess.

Glad the dark shadow near the pond, turned out to be an ornament, lol.

You did have a longer day than planned by the sounds of it, but I am sure your chats with the Boss' Mum are well received and appreciated. Good that T was easy to prepare, all ready and waiting.

Hope you have had a lovely Day Carol, Elizabeth I hope you and OH are on smoother ground. Hi also to Mig, Kath, Joan and all. 1am again, time for me to move my bones.

Off out for lunch today, just the two of us. Chill out a bit. Take care everyone XXXX Aidan

Kerrsa

Morning everyone.

Thanks for all the well wishes. We plan on getting married in September. A bit complicated as my family is in South Africa.

I seem to have picked up a mild cold. Had to happen as more than half the staff at school has had it. Marching on today though, as have 10 excited little gymnasts who I can't disappoint.

Also miffed about Eurosport, pay a fortune to sky and the box in the room is not working again.

A very wet PM here. Didn't go to LE today, stayed in Sawley we have a PO and a Co-op so well catered for, plus a gentle stroll through the park. It was full of seagulls.

Toni, it wasn't Diddycat I saw. OH has seen this cat before. It was a piebald - oops, that's a horse, not a cat. I wouldn't have minded if she had paid us a visit though.

Aidan, which TV provider will you go with? We have Freeview but still usually stick to Beeb 1, 2 and 4, ITV 1, and occasionally one or two others. There's just too much choice now, and we aren't great sports fans. But we do like a bit of golf, and I prefer cricket on the radio.

This weather is driving me mad, painful hip, thigh and knee. :? Want some sunshine. :sun: :sun: :sun: :sun:

barbara12

afternoon all, a wet and misty day here..............

A september wedding Kerrin, that will be lovely, not too hot, often the weather is very pleasant in that month. I imagine it will be complicated to arrange, with family far and wide.

Hope the cold goes asap, you have done well to avoid the worst of them by the sounds of it. Good of you to keep going to keep the little ones in their competition.

Sky is all up in the air, everyone is leaving, no one knows if Discovery will be on air after tonight. We will cancel all our subscriptions and go with another provider if they cannot agree a deal to stay on Sky.

Hi Joan, we had a very nice brunch thank you, nice just to chill out a bit. My phone is still "being looked at by an engineer" it is not really hard to miss, a big shaded band across the screen..........anyway, let's hope it isn't long before another update.
Hi to Sue, hope you are keeping warm xx

Hi Kath, nice to have a gentle stroll, the seagulls must be coming inland, after hearing of "storm Doris" that is on the way apparently.
A new breed of pus cat, I like it, piebald puskins

I think we will go with Plusne- if Sky don't come to some agreement. If they do come to an agreement, then I want a big reduction on our monthly fees, they are astronomical, we bay nearly £140 a month........... :shock: :?
We like Golf too, it is quite exciting. Of course we adore tennis, all year round and love winter sports, which are all on Eurosport.

Hi Barbara, hope you are ok and that all the electrics are sorted, plaster is dry and decorating can be done
Sorry you lost your post, that is a pain and so annoying after you have written a long reply.
Yes, it was very emotional when Federa won, he was bawling, Merka his wife was upset..............oh dear, pass me the tissues.
It was nice to have a bit of down time today, then be home in good time, with no shopping which means no spend Lunch was very cheap, I think they forgot to add coffee's and t's, oh well, that made it even better lol.

Hi to Toni, Mig, Carol, Elizabeth, Christine - hope you are all as ok as can be, Lucy is included in the list as well and Diddicat Hugs, take care, will get back later, if time permits.............wherever it goes. XXX Aidan

Kerrsa

Evening everyone. The cold has got worse but survived the day at school. The year 6's were little blighters as usual but the gymnastics team were brilliant, going to be very hard to choose a team for Fridays comp. Tomorrow is netball, so it will be ignoring the cold day again!

I have always loved Ferderer so was very happy he won. He is half South African after all.

The thing that irritates me most about sky and discovery, is not a word from sky, heard about all this while watching the tennis. And still no sky working in our bedroom!

Time for this ole lady to go to sleep.

Kerrin

frogmorton

Morning Kerrin
Great bunch of year 6's you have there then That's nice to read. I hope your cold remains under control.

I haven't had sky for years just freeview. they are too expensive! What does that now TV offer?

Aidan you are right September is usually a lovely month and can be sunny, but not baking.

'Looking at' your phone eh? that must mean deciding if it's worth fixing or cheaper to send you a new one.

Daisycat is fine thanks although she may or may not have noticed her box is out for a trip to the V*t for annual vaccinations :?

Lucy is dong ok new dressing on and the wound is neat and clean.

Physio today

Hi Barbara thanks the hair still looks ok. Love the hairdresser's!!

Oh dear lost your post did you? VERY frustrating. I am permanently logged in so should be ok I hope.

Dressing change went well thanks although it did hurt Lucy to move her arm new dressing is less in her armpit.

Kath seagulls over head here too. The park sounds lovely for a stroll

Shame you didn't see Daisycat - she visits you all you know

Sorry you are in pain. I think drier weather is what we need ((()))

Hi Joan any news on your boiler? Lucky it's milder again now.

Love to everyone else I missed

Toni xxx

Had to get a new ornament for my clown loaches they like to hide in one and they are so big now they knock it over!! I got the biggest one with holes in I could find

dachshund

Hello Kathleen Barbara Aidan Kerrin Toni and anyone else I missed.
Kathleen I hope you have a better day today with no rain.
Barbara that's the dentist over for 6 month's. I hope you have a good day today.
Aidan you will be so used to the phone you borrowed your phone will be strange to you when you get back.
Kerrin i'm sorry you and Aidan are having trouble with sky we are with Bt. I hope you have a good day and your cold soon goes.
Toni it's nice going to the hairdresser's I only go for a trim I have curly hair. i'm pleased Lucy is doing so well with her new shoulder.
how about your pain's and problem's.
take care all
joan xx

Kitty

Thank you Joan, My pain is much better today.

Toni, it must be a tremendous relief that Lucy's dressing is on, and her wound is neat and clean.

Aidan, seagulls are permanent in Sawley. It is on a confluence of 3 rivers (Trent, Derwent and Soar) and Erewash Canal. Sawley Marina is located on a navigational cut of the River Trent near Long Eaton, Nottingham, East Midlands and is the largest Inland Marina in the United Kingdom with a water space of 23 acres. Planning approved residential moorings, most with electricity and water, are provided for 120 boats. The River Soar, River Derwent, and Derby are all nearby. Trent Lock (otherwise Trentlock) is located south of Long Eaton, Derbyshire, on the borders of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire in the United Kingdom. The area is a major canal navigation junction, where the River Soar and Erewash Canal can reach the Trent and Mersey Canal by way of the River Trent and adjacent Cranfleet Cut.

Immediately to its north-east is Trent Junction, a similarly important five-way meeting point in the national railway system.
You can't enter or leave LE or Sawley without crossing water. So if you pop over for a visit, bring your waders.

mig

Sorry not been around much found a new hobby,loom knitting,bit like the french knitting doll only on a bigger scale,take me too long to explain be easier to understand if you google it ,I find it easier on the hands than knitting with two needles.
Love to all Mig

barbara12

Evening all...
Had a lovely half day with my niece..and guess what she bought me an Hare..she got it from Sains**rys...and said they also have a fox. its a light weight one that looks like bronze..
Mig your new hobby sounds good anything that occupies us and make nice things in the bargain...
Joan I just have a trim at the hairdresser and a colour...boring brown.. hope you and Sue are doing ok...and being able to keep warm..saying that its been mild here today..
Toni I am so glad Lucy dressing has been change and all is looking well, I know shoulder are harder than hips and knees..but bless her she will get there...good idea to stay logged in...
Kath you do have a lot of water around you ..must make for some lovely wildlife..so glad your pain has eased...
Kerrin I hope that cold will leave you alone soon, its bad enough but when you have to work with it..good to hear that the gymnastic are so good..will your name be mud when you leave some of them out of the team..good luck...
Aiden still no phone... :shock: :shock: yes I say Feddera's wife having a little weep..she was up and down in her seat..we have never had sky..like Toni its freeview..well frees*t to be precise..and out net is with Ta*kTa*k..must say we have had very little trouble with it..if we do it soon mended...glad you both that had some down time..with no shopping...that is not easily done..
Right a cuppa fo9r me..had no sugar today.... :shock:
Love to everyone xxxxxxxx

Aiden, my son can only choose between Sky and BT where he lives. He's had big problems with both. He's cancelled now and just using freeview. Good idea to come home early so not spend money. I'm terrible for spending if I go out. :oops:

Kerrin, sorry your cold is worse. Hope tomorrow is better.

Toni, glad Lucy's dressing change went well. She'll be more comfortable now. When is Diddycat going to the vet? Hope she doesn't mind too much. Hope your loaches like their new ornament.

Joan, I only get a trim too but my hair is straight. I do sometimes cut a little bit off myself and hope the hairdresser doesn't notice. Is your heating fixed yet?

Kath, what a lot of waterways and people living there too. We have a river on three sides of our town (an oxbow) but you have it all round. We have seagulls too and we are 18 miles from the sea.

Mig, loom knitting sounds interesting. Hope you are making yourself some nice things.

Barbara, your niece bought you a hare. Lovely. And there's a fox. I like foxes. I'll have a look in my local but I doubt they'll have them. It's only a small store.

Another quiet day although I did sort out a wardrobe and threw out or donated quite a lot so found some more space. My son has asked me and his mil to try to get tickets for Ed Sheeran for my GD. It opens at 10 am so I'll be going in to work later than usual. Just hope we don't all manage to get tickets. :shock:

bubbles

Evening to one and all, hope all are as well as can be.

Oh dear Kerrinn, sending anti cold hugs for it to get better as soon as possible. Loads of Vit C and Zinc (Te--- do their own effervescent ones)
So the little 6 year old's were not sweetness and light then. Glad that the gymnasts were very good and now the decision making for Friday, not an easy one I am sure.
Hope the netball goes ok and you feel better very soon.

Roger is a real tennis legend now, he is a great ambassador for the sport, gives a lot of his time and money to help youngsters improve their game and has various charities that he supports, as a lot of the top players do. I was so glad he won the Aus Open. Onward and upward.

Sky did come to an 11th hour agreement with Discovery channels, so we get our Eurosport, hoorah. I also got £50 a month taken off my future bills , we don't need movies or sky sports, everything we watch is on Eurosport then we got a discount on our fibre broadband and 20% of the tv package.........I did well
I agree, the way that everyone found out about the possible loss of 13 channels, was not good at all and I think Sky know that and knew how many people were about to cancel their contracts.

They are expensive Toni, well, it was ridiculous when we looked at what we were paying for and what we watched, so we are happy to take a big reduction in our payments.
Oh, my phone is on its way back, it should be here today (Thursday). They only really had it for one day, which was Monday, then it was posted out on Tuesday.............so, not sure if it will be the same phone, a new phone, or what - exciting, will have to stay glued to the front room to watch for the post man.

Diddicat did skype pepe this morning, while we were at Sains----, he told me miss slimkins was off to the Drs for injections :shock: we know what pepe thinks of the Vets, mr hell cat himself.
It was tuna today, I did see a glimpse of white and an empty dish in the kitchen - I think they both enjoyed it lol

Glad that Lucy's wound is neat and clean, that's a good sign and a new dressing is in place. Better that it is less in the armpit area, a wee bit tender around there. How are the exercises going?

I could have my hair cut every day, I love it. Helps that OH was a hairdresser though,

Hi Joan, how are things with the heating going? I hope there is a decision on the cards. Toni has the bus on stand by and I have scones in the freezer, all ready packed, for an outing. We have placards too.
It is warmer out though, there is a storm on the way, Doris I think it is called. Not sure what we will get, winds, rain, both - we will see.
Oh no, I am not getting used to the spare phone, cannot wait for mine to arrive today (hopefully)

Hi Kath, good to hear you are in less pain today. Always a plus

I know Sawley Marina, from a long time back and I know the River Trent and Soar.
Dad was the Rector of Gotham and he looked after Ratcliffe on Soar, Went Leake, Kingston on Soar and Gotham. I remember going to Church in a boat one time, when Ratcliffe was flooded, js the Church that was out of the water. :shock:
Trent Lock, yes, that rings a bell too.
The Marina sounds very nice with proper moorings, water etc. I will certainly bring my water wings and waders, or a boat

Hi Mig, I will have a look at the French knitting, sounds interesting. Good to see you and and hope you are ok. Any more journeys planned or theater visits?

Hi there Barbara oh, you have a hare too now, how lovely of your Niece - I will have to have another look in Sains

---

, didn't see any today. They do look like bronze, they are very well done.

I know, no phone, hopefully today will bring a box, with my baby in it :? :roll:
Murka was up and down like a jack in the box, in fact half the crowd was up, down, cheering, gasping, crying, lol. What a match.
We had talkt---, but I fell out with them big time after their system was hacked and our details were stolen, not bank details, just name address and email, which was bad enough.

We enjoyed a croissant and coffee at home today, after taking mum n dad to Sain----. Chill day tomorrow, well, house fussing day, then GC on Friday. Nice not to spend, money always says the same thing - "goodbye".

I hope you had some sugar, we will have to waft you and feed you cake.

Hi Christine - Freeview is pretty good, there are a lot of HD channels too.
I see you have been having a sort out and making room, it seems a constant challenge in life. We all need an extra room to put "stuff" in, rather than in cupboards etc.
My Nephews wife is mad on Ed Sheeran, I think she is going to see him on his next tour. I am not so keen myself, but, each to their own genre of music.

I had better move, I am setting like a plaster cast. Hi to everyone who are away and or busy. Take care one and all. XXXXXX Aidan

Morning all

Aidan Well done you winning your battle with Sky!! your sport back and a reduction of £50 a month!!!

I am very pleased to hear that your mobile is coming home and should be here today - YIPPEE!!!

Daisycat oh bless her - I bet Pepe got another skype call to look at her injection site last night :roll: Bless her all done for another year - teeth are really great so got more toothpaste

I imagine tuna went down VERY well

Lucy's physio yesterday is so pleased with her in fact had to rein her in for fear she might dislocate the new shoulder with her enthusiasm Last night she slept until 5:27 am before needing her codeine!

Made me well-up you know.

Christine Daisycat went to the vet yesterday and all was well bless her. She is so scared and after all was done and they went off to weigh her box I picked her up and if she could have hidden under my arm she would!!

The Loaches have been in the new ornament so the 'old' one which is too small will be disappearing soon

I hope you manage to get the Ed Sheeran tickets fingers crossed.

I have been known to trim my own fringe too :oops:

Oh Barbara how lovely is your niece!! A HARE!! I must get and order mine too.

Lucy is doing fabulously well and the physio gave me something to massage into her sore muscles and showed me how and where so I won't do any harm

No sugar??!! I am down to half a sugar need to go lower.... :?

Mig I am glad to see you and googled loom knitting it looks interesting

Hi Kath Thank you it is good to see Lucy's dressing is on and no risk of infection. I hope she won't be unhappy with the scar - it's a shame at 19, but no choice.

Now that information was very interesting I know it was for Aidan, but thank you

Hi Joan - Lucy is being amazing as ever. Physio had to tell her to do a bit LESS!! Last night she slept until 5:27am before needing her painkillers. It had been 4am

Have they made a decision about your boiler yet? It's getting windy here :shock:

Love to everyone

Toni xxx

Hello Kathleen Mig Barbara Christine Aidan and anyone else I missed.
Kathleen it's raining cold and windy here I hope it's better with you.

Mig I think I remember that is it a square with a knob on each corner and you wrap the wool around. have a good day.
Barbara i'm pleased you had a lovely time with your niece it cheers you up talking to a different person.
I had a letter from the ortho surgeon she said she will still do the op on my foot but I have so much arthritis in my ankle I have to have a replacement ankle. first I have to have a blood test in April to test that the other is alright.
Christine we are with Fr..w we only watch the main one's. they are still thinking about are heating a man is coming next week to see it.
Aidan I hope your phone comes today. how are your Mum in law and Dad doing. have a good day.
Hello Toni Lucy is doing so well she wants to get on with her life.
they will let us know next week about the heating.
take care all

Morning all...its feels quite mild here..no heating on so thats a bonus..
I think we will have a warren of hares between us... they are only 8 pounds..sorry my pound sign didnt work not a clue its showing the hash sign.. :?
Toni..poor Daisycat having an injection...good she has Pepe to talk to.. ..I am amazed at Lucy ...I can see her getting back to the hairdressing... I think some of these young people can teach us a thing or two...
Christine..so you might be adding to the warren of hares we have... I am certainly thinking about the fox ..OH says we are suppose to be downsizing.. I hope you got thoese tickets ..its getting harder has the ticket touts are online buying multiples...my middle GD has a selfie with ED.....its was her stalking days and they found the hotel he was in..
Aiden...I did read last night that the boss of TT has resigned..after the hacking they have knocked 10 pounds a month of our bill..I think quite a few must have left them..hope that phone arrives today...think it will get an hug when it does arrive.. what I like about fedderas wife..is she is not all made up and her hair tied back... she is a natural beauty..
Joan we are all one our way scones and all..and extra blankets...hope today is the day that boiler is sorted..
Did anyone watch the big build last night..I was sobbing away ..a young girl that had been in hospital for 3 years..a very rare disease..so they changed all the house so she can come home..what a lovely family she had..
Right better go love to everyone...xxxxxxx
Just spotted you there Joan..blimey a new ankle.suppose its better than putting pieces in...we will be in your pocket..and fingers crossed you get the new bolier..xx

Kitty

Yum yum, thank you web manager Sharon. It will make life easier for us to discuss our shopping trips.

Barbara, you have your keyboard set to US and not UK. Can't remember how to get it right, but someone might know.

mig, I used both French knitting and loom knitting, Very tactile and relaxing.


Yes we are rather surrounded by water. We used to walk miles (those were the days) and sit by the canal to watch boats go through the locks. I miss those days.

bubbles

Afternoon to one and all - hope everyone is as ok as can be - is it warm or am I just in my own "summertime" again :roll: :roll:



Guess who got his phone back - come to Daddy.......................

I was quite pleased with my Sky result Toni, then realised last night, that the majority of the ATP tour is on Sky Sports.........huh. So, today I was on to them again and I have managed to get Sports added pack on for 1/2 price, so am pleased, seeing as it is something we follow all year, just about every tournament going. One less trip per month to the CG for coffee and cakes, pays for that increase.
Pepe must have chatted to Diddicat, he was telling me about her anxiety at the vets and how big the needle was :shock: no wonder she had to hide under your arm. Pepe would have eaten the vet for lunch
Yes, steady progress with the physio, glad she is pleased all is going well, but right not to overdo things, listen to Matron now Miss Lucy.
Sleeping for longer was good, not needing meds till nearly 6, was good.

Glad the loaches are happy with their new addition.

Everyone is cutting down on their sugar's. I cannot drink a hot drink with any sugar in, it is like poison, but show me a scone or some chocolate and I am in there. Strange, but true.

Kath's info was very well documented and yes, it brought back a lot of memories

So it will be a bigger op than thought Joan, with replacement ankle joint too. I am sure you will be ok and we will all be there when the time comes. (((())))
They are dragging out their decision on the boiler.

It is warm Barbara, I am lathered, it is only just Feb and already the vapours are upon me.
I think the phone coming back has made me all of a dither too. Bless, it's a shame.
I cannot decide if it is a new one or the same on I sent, whichever, the damage to the display has gone and all my apps and contacts, music etc has reinstalled from the Cloud storage. Very happy, I am not letting it out of my sight.
The postman came, and because we are high up, you cannot see him deliver unless you go to window. OH said, oh, postman has been and gone.............off he went to get the post. He said, oh, there is just junk mail and oh yes, a phone !! Teasing me.

So Baroness Harding has left TalkTalk, good, her salary was astronomical..........I have no time for them after our details went walk about. Rightly so they should give people some credit.

No, we didn't see the big build, but we might get it on catch up, they are very moving, the work that people do for others, restores your faith in humanity a little.

Oh Sharon, Saffron buns, clotted cream, come in, I will put the kettle on. Glad that we can mention brand names and the like Thank you.

It will make our shopping trips easier Kath, without a doubt. I see the knitting, it looks very good and must be much easier than fiddling with needles.
Did you ever go to Old Clifton Village, (not the big estate side), lovely to walk down to the river from there. Some very nice houses around the old village

Right, I must move, I have sat far too long today, so I will love you and leave you. Everyone take care. Hi to those not in at the moment. XXXX Aidan

Evening all you lovely people
just popping I for a relax and a cuppa and perhaps a saffron bun and some clotted cream if there are any left.

I'm afraid today has been another one of those days when things have all started been going wrong but well that's life unfortunately.
fed up now with what I call jobsworths now have trouble with getting my passport changed into my new name what's so silly about it is that when mr turbo sent his in they sent back asking him for different paperwork and he sent it in and now has his new passport. I send mine in and in the hope of preventing the same thing happening I send exactly what he sent in the second time and they send mine back and tell me they want something different oh well i'm sure it will all sort itself out in the end its a good job the holiday is not till the start of August. Mr turbo bless him has typed me out a polite but to the point covering letter stating that I sent the same as him ect ect and am now sending them the extra documents and that I would appreciate them sorting it out as soon as possible. so we shall see what that brings.

rang doctors today as having real problems with a very dry mouth and get told earliest bookable appointment is on Thursday next week or ring up at 8.00 in the morning and may be able to get one tomorrow probably to be told when I get through tomorrow that there are no appointments left. oh well tomorrow is another day.

added to the mix mr Turbo has a bad toothache and has an appointment at dentist tomorrow. talk about it all happens in our house

hope everyone is okay as far as weather and aches and pains will allow.

see you all soon :sun: :sun:

Evening everyone. Still feel yuck and full of cold but will go into school tomorrow for the gymnastics competition. Normally would have taken another day off.

The methotrexate prescription debate continues. Hospital sent letter to doc saying blood test every 4 weeks, now dispensary needs to check with doc. Meanwhile I'm still tabletless. Luckily it was suggested by rheumy that I don't take any tomorrow beacause of cold so have a week to get it sorted. Me thinks I'll will,have to bring blood test forward, which means more time off school. ☹️

Watched big build SOS earlier mainly because I have a friend with EDS. she is not quite as severe though.......yet.

Yes please to scones. Need some cheering up.

Oops that smiley came out a bit big!

Hi Kerrin
My laptop won't even let me see your smilie It's a good thing the doc said leave off the MTX since you haven't got any :roll:

Get well soon Kerrin ((()))

Honestly Carol anyone would thing you were trying to commit fraud. Your passport will get sorted and it rather sounds as though Mr Turbo is being very helpful

It's not at all nice having a dry mouth is it? I hope you get an appointment and your doc can help you. My MIL was given special lozenges.

I also hope Mr Turbo's toothache gets fixed horrible that

Morning Aidan! Ah did you feel as though you were eating a slice of humble pie getting back on to sky? I don't half price is good

How sweet of Pepe to listen to Diddicat's woes I think she has milked it enough though If we're not careful it will be him going with her next time not me!

I shall pass on your advice to Lucy!! Bless her. She managed the same sleep last night but is awake now with a wheatie on her neck. Some of the pain is due to the rock solid muscles she has from holding onto that old arm for so long when it was collapsed.

"Welcome home we-e-el-come!"
Beloved phone is restored to it's rightful place I am so very very happy for you. I bet she shakes stopped immediately

Kath I know what you mean I have no idea how Barbara can get her language sorted. At least it's not 'bad' language!!

Great photo and very helpful if you don't know what loom knitting is.

It is very restful doing things with your hands isn't it?

I normally do if I can crochet knitting or something.

Thank you Sharon for the cakes You are welcome here anytime with gifts like that!!

Barbara probably it's because they are young they get at it quicker and with more confidence that it will be alright? Lucy is coming up with plan B's just incase

We had a windy and blustery rumbly night here (outside!!) last night. Must have been Doris

I like the big Build too makes me bawl! :oops:

Joan you poor thing! Sounds a big op, but no point doing foot if you will still be in pain from the ankle I suppose.

Next week for your heating? Mmmmmm....ok, but they'd better get it done or we'll be on our way



Love
