I hope you feel better Jojo

Hi Frog Mum's having a achy day

Oh dear how scary Jojo 😟 I hope you're ok would you want to get any advice maybe? Have you had anything similar before - hope you can put it down to some reason that you think would explain how you felt. Take care I know you want to do things but health comes first (pot & kettle for me to do the 'must be sensible' lecture! no-one likes it 😕). Hope you can relax & you feel better xx

Does the damp affect your mum Stuart? Hope she feels better over the next couple of nicer days xx

Hi bosh 👋 just a quick wave and a good wish for the mxt to be kindly 🤞 xx

hi all, Jojo I hope u r okay.

Migraine has eased but back and neck bad from inflammation and doing a bit of work on the damaged KTM

Early night and pain pills for me.

Night all 😴

Hope you have a decent night and feel better for it Jojo 🤞 you too Keef, hope things ease off xx

Thanks for the hello bosh I am half planning to go to town in the morning so this particular night owl better do the same as you and get to bed at a sensible hour (you could sleep in that chair couldn't you in fact would be hard not to 🤭). Take care & sleep well xx

Love to all 😘 xx

Morning Joan I do hope that Breda hears something today I think waiting over a weekend is extra stress. Did Charlie get sorted at the Drs? Then today it is Treacle's turn. Sleek also has the V*T today for her jab for her arthritis fingers crossed she hasn't lost more weight, but she probably has😕 At least the rain has stopped here ((())) xxx

Jojo are you ok? That is worrying. It could be all sorts of things and you must talk to your Dr. My eldest has migraines which make her go temporarily numb on one side, but there would likely be a headache too. I had a TIA last year which was super temporary maybe 10-15 minutes the time it took for my sister to get here. Also of course is the possibility of a seizure, but you must promise to get it checked out asap please

You are working very hard at home and at work. You are under a lot of stress being in pain and undiagnosed pain at that. ((())) xxx

Morning Stuart how are you today? Did you get that rain we had yesterday? Wow there was a lot of it! I just wondered whether your Mum is more achy on wet chillier days that's all. Hope she feels better today ((())) xxx

Morning To Skinny Keef. Hope your migraine has eased off and you don't get one for ages now. I hope you saw all our messages about how cute and smart Sucré looked for school. Have you got an after photo though with his hat on backwards and his tie hanging off shirt untucked etc!!! Take care ((())) xxx

Morning Reshmi how are you today? Stomach recovered from those delightful 'slightly past their best' desserts? Thanks BB🙄 Hopefully not too bad an MTX hangover too.

Did you get the torrential rain we had for hours? So bad that the man (person) hole overs in the lane outside blew off under the pressure and it was like a stream gushing down the lane.

I honestly cannot believe it's Friday already can you? Where has this week gone🤔.

Did you see a photo of a certain young apple-pie pinching little boy on his first day at school too? Did he look as cute as can be? I hope the boys being at school will give your sister more of a chance to rest but i expect she has worked through her back pain anyway?

Take care hope you feel much less tired today ((())) xxx

Morning Toady they didn't collect your charity bag😠 Mind I haven't had one for 5 years!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you not get the rain? It rained her solidly and heavily from about 7am until 2 leaked through the sliding door again🙄 The roof chose not to leak yesterday explain that if you can! I think it's a directional thing and nope can't seem to solve that particular roof issue permanently in spite of the poor roofer coming back at least 3/4 times.

Elfie and I finished the puzzle

The man yes it was indeed a man he came about 2 and was done and dusted very quickly so I was able to nip to Lucy's for an hour to see her.

Elfie intends to come on Sunday so he says and of course he'll do the maze probably in a flash I'd panic!. I am going to see the oldest grape vine there for sure and eat some posh food l hope. It's what to wear which is stressing me out really. You have to be super smart I think.

Its a sunny day here now after yesterday so Penelope must have a bath!

Take care Toady don't overload yourself with too much for the charity shop and try not to buy anything either!!! ((())) xxx

Good morning everyone

Toady (()) there is a clothes shop near our shops everything is on the path. Have a good day. The sun is shining here. Is your eye better now.

Toni (()) have a good day the Doctor sent Charlie up the hospital for an injection Charlie said to the person he met there I can’t wait about here for hours I have a poorly dog I’m paying a lot of money for at the vets. The man said can’t your wife see to the dog Charlie said my wife is dead do you want me to dig her up. I think the injection’s are being sent to the Doctor’s.
Jojo (()) I’m sorry you feel so bad you need to see your Doctor it saves the worry.

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

Stuart (()) have a good day love to your mum (())

Skinny Keef (()) how is everything there sorry you have pain fixing your bike love to Loanda (()) and Sucr’e (()) have a good day

Feeling tired not sleeping at night,GP not giving me anymore strong pills. Mum still feeling achy & tired

hi Toni

How are you?

Mums ok 👍

Mxt hangover isn’t too bad right now thanks

it is actually BR’s brother who started school yesterday

I did not see a pic of him, but I had a report through cats nap from sis

she said that he enjoyed the first day of school a lot. He played maths games and he was allowed into the big guys’ playground or something like that, but hopefully not the bad guys playground haha

you’re right my sister has a tendency of trying to work through pain and overworking but I think in general she’s not doing too bad thank you
My stomach is okay at the moment but I’m really hoping that will last however because as toady once said sometimes it’s the nighttimes that try us gastrically

Bye for now, Toni, I just need to ablute etc, tc xx

👋toady how are you? Hope you’re having a nice day out take care xx

👋 Joan xx

👋 Jojo I am glad you are not feeling too bad this morning. Take care xx

Ps a rare glimpse of the early morning. Toni 😂 xx

Hi all 👋 hope everyone's day is going as well as possible.

I made it to town with my charity stuff ok frog (not very heavy, just a couple of light bags) and bought nothing in the shop, couldn't really because I was going to Piddle, so knew I'd have groceries on the way back. Will be glad of the things but it's a shame as you don't get the same walk if you have bags to carry both ways. One of the finer days will have to try & fit a better walk in. We did get heavy rain yesterday, just most of it at different times than was forecast - sorry it's trying to come into chez frog again 😕 yes the roof is almost certainly a directional thing, mine was the same. I say 'was', I doubt I'm 100% cured either but at this point 'better than it was' will have to do! Glad you weren't all day waiting for the washer, hope it's ok. Good jigsaw 👍️😄 lots & lots going on, I bet the chalkboard was quite handy; am trying to read the menu, will need a stock pic I think. Sorry doing it was painful on your thumb, we don't ask much do we, not trying to do stonemasonry or something 😔. Good luck selecting your glad rags for Sunday, I'm sure you will find something that's just the ticket 😊 and you would be fine in the maze too, knowing that Elfie, who as you say would be round in a flash, would pop up to the top and wave if you got stuck. Have a good evening and am thinking of you & Sleek 😘 (()) xx

Hello Joan, that's good you have shops laid out sensibly, there are lots of side streets off the main here so up & down kerbs & crossings etc., and bits of straggling streets further out with other things cafes etc. Don't think there is a clothes shop at all anymore except the charity ones 🤷‍♀️. An empty shop I passed today was being painted bright pink and I mean bright, heaven knows what's going in there next 😣. Hope Charlie got on ok and as for them saying about his wife, well ask a stupid question get a stupid answer 🙄 silly thing for them to say. Have a good weekend love to Pepper 😘 xx

Hi bosh, my walk to town was ok thanks 👍️ it varied between slightly chilly sometimes and warmer in the sun but never too bad one way or the other. I may have lost my small scarf however 🙄 will have to go back to the shop where it might be, you can't ring 'em up which would be the simple answer, no branch telephone numbers. Probably quicker to buy a new one 🤷‍♀️. I'm a bit tired now it has been a rather tiring few days, I will be sensible over the weekend get in some earlier nights etc, she says 😬. Glad to hear LA liked his first school day 😀 how does he get there? I was reading about what a mess some areas have made in sorting out proper bus services, in some cases only telling parents at the very last minute about changes 🙄. Hope the rest of your day is ok see you anon :) 👋 xx

Hi Jojo glad you have popped in, I did see you online earlier in the morning so that reassured me a bit too. Hope you can get a suitable drs appt maybe they would have cancellations etc. Take care and hope a quiet day is helping 🤞 xx

Stuart sorry you aren't getting enough sleep it makes you feel not fitted for the day ahead, which isn't fair 😞. Hope your mum has a less achy spell too soon 🤞 take care xx

Wave to Keef & hope all's as well as poss, and if you feel a bit better hope you are not doing too much illicit bike maintenance and whatnot 🤨 have a good weekend xx

Love to everyone 😘 xx

you’re welcome Jojo

My day wasn’t too bad thanks

Have a good night tc xx

Nothing changes still in pain awaiting results.

☕️🥐

Morning Joan hope you and Pepper are at least ok? I wonder whether Charlie was a bit short to them at the hospital and that's why they suggested someone else could look after Treacle🤔 I mean we do have to be patient don't we? So the GP or nurse will actually administer his injections that will be much better for him😊 Easier and probably nearer((())) xxx

Morning Stuart gosh this next bit is dragging on isn't it? Not good enough pain relief and still no actual results so they can see for definite what is going on😠 Have you at least got an appt booked when you will next see someone?

Morning Jojo I am so glad you are feeling better, but please please do look after yourself🙏 I didn't like the sound of that turn. The twins are going to stop sharing are they? Probably wise now they are growing up and I am sure that your son will be just fine sharing with the cat🙀 Take care and look after yourself ((())) xxx

Morning Skinny Keef how are you doing today? I hope the migraine is well and truly behind you. How did Sucré enjoy his first few days at school? I bet he loved it and is miffed he can't go in today😉 Take care ((())) xxx

Morning Reshmi Hope your Mum is ok?

Not 100% ok stomach yesterday for you though? Oh dear me hope back to normal today for you.. I am not too bad which is good as l am off down to Surrey. Hotel tonight to meet up with the other Figgy owners; Hampton Court tomorrow.

I suspected your sister does push through but glad she is at least slowly recovering.

Poor LA! He didn't understand the new expectations of a big boy at big school did he?😕 Awww my heart went out to him there! I'm sure his jumper was/is safe and sound at school waiting for him.

Are any of his mafioso crew at the same school? Big guys eh? A tad scary maybe?

My sister reckons you can 'train' bracehook by ignoring stupid adverts and not clicking on any of them. I am less sure..

Take care Reshmi ((())) xxx

Morning Toady

That rain was something wasn't it? I loved it!!! except for my leaks of course and the two person hole covers blowing off/up in the road one is cracked in half.

Elfie tried to catch the pot of gold again yesterday he has a list of charities and was disappointed to fail. He si coming with us to Hampton Court we'll see about that maze for me🤔 Sorted out 'something' to wear going 1960s will get a photo.

Well done getting the bits to the charro shop☺️ they will be pleased and so will you some more things moved on.

Sleek did well at the vets as you probably know she only lost a tiny bit of weight and had her nails done as well as her arthritis jab. Expect her later today when Mummy and Daddy abandorate her.

Washer ok for now ta, but sadly it's days are now limited according to the engineer😕 Maybe a year. We'll see.

Take care Toady enjoy the weekend it should be nice ((())) xxx
