Uugh Josie, not sure I would enjoy working there as much as you do............much as I love people! Mind you, you obviously never know what is going to happen next! Do you clean wedding dresses, curtains etc. too?


Sylvia - sorry to hear that your back has been acting up again. Too much fun going on in your house by the sound of things!


I have a dodgy disc but it hasn't bothered me for a while for which I am extremely grateful.

Glad you had a lovely day Sue - it was probably just what you needed as a tonic before you go away. Hope you have a wonderful time.

Anne, you sound as busy as ever - sorting people out must be your forte!


A fairly busy day here today - taking the grandchildren to the dentist this afternoon and then bringing them back here for a meal.

Heard that a close friend isn't very well. He went on holiday last week and they thought he had a chest infection. Now they are talking about heart failure. As he is already diabetic and has kidney disease, this is very worrying for his family. He is only 54 so we are very concerned for them all.


Well, on that not very cheery note I will have a quick browse and then nip for a shower.

Love. Cx.

Hi Everyone

We had a wonderfull day yesterday,thought we would go for a drive down south to Walpole.
It has been quite sunny of late and I have not been out of the house much in the last few weeks.
We had such a good time we stayed overnight at a motel in Walpole,we had a very nice dinner at the nearby Hotel.
We got home an hour ago and it is pooring down with rain so the timeing was perfect.

I am all packed to go on Sat,just waiting now,

Are they still making Midsummer Murders in the UK,ours have just gone off the TV here,just wondered if they are still making them ......love the show.

Sylvia ..I hope your back gets better soon or improves somewhat,you can't do anything if your back is out and painfull,mine used to get me in the lower half.
My husband had to get me into the car one time curled up as I could not stand ,as I was carried into the doctors rooms everyone looked at me very strange.
A few clicks here and there and I walked out,no more trouble since.

Josie not to far to Bali for you,maybe we will meet each other there one day.

Better get some housework done,
Love to you all.

Hi all


Peaceful 2 nights!! Also cooler than it has been for the last several weeks, so we have both slept well.


I had to call for an "urgent" visit with the locum physio, my back has been acting up and I just couldn't get it right. Got an appointment for 11:30 this morning (ie, Tuesday mroning)

I had seen the locum a couple of times last summer, so he wasn't quite a stranger ....... but I'm not sure whether the treatment was worse than the problem .... he found every spot that was "tight" and thus hurting, then applied lots of pressure with his elbow!

I did ask him about my niece's problem

He said that problems with that joint during pregnancy are pretty common, and not uncommon afterwards, although he himself had not seen anyone in such bad straits.

He said the physio who got her walking was good, but she will need to do strengthening exercises for months, plus may have to wear a special belt type of thing to provide support for some time. Will possibly / probably also have to take anti-inflammatory pills ... I'm not sure what is available for a nursing mother.

The way he described was that the joint was a sort of L shape, and it is pretty easy for the one side not to fit evenly into the angle of the L as the ligaments tighten up.

We also have 2 Swiss friends visiting tomorrow, so will not be around until very late.


Take care everyone.

Afternoon all -

Week 2 of Training - its all about restaurants for the next day or 2 - then sports & theatres - Yes I could do it myself - but I am away from the phone and getting paid for it.

I am sure i have seen Shaun dancing in a kilt somewhere.

Susan hows the cold? you need to get up on those pins and packing.

Is it nice having a couple of nights on your own again Sylvia?

Josie - they certainly lead exciting lives the people who pop in your dry cleaners. My mum use to work in one years ago - she became manageress of her own shop in the end & a new one at that, quite a large one if I remember - I was only 6 when she moved jobs - i can still remember the smell now. Happy days

Anyone know where Evelyn's hiding - not caught Susans cold I hope.

Reece hope you are reading these - still thinking of you - hang on in there - we all miss you.

Take care all - back to the Restaurant websites and looking at the menus & ambience etc as well as the cost - anyone need a good recomendation for a trip to London?

bye all keep up the good work.

Hi Everyone.
Just when I thought spring might be on it's way and was lulled by a week of warm temps and sunshine. The weather has turned bitterly cold again.

Wish I was going to Bali with Susan.
Oh for some warmth...........

I have decided the people who frequent the Dry Cleaner's where I work must certainly lead interesting lives
.
Monday afternoon I was inundated

with the following ........ A coat covered in lemon Meringue pie, a Tablecloth covered in Chocolate, Trousers covered in candle-wax a Shirt and and a coat covered in Curry, a Skirt covered in Coffee and finnaly to Finnish it of a tie covered in vomit!!!

These where all different people. It is never dull at work.

Wonderful to hear from you Robert.

Must go now and serve up tea before Hells Kitchen Starts.

Catch you all later Josie

Hi all


OH and I are on our own again .. for 2 nights!!

Took daughter & baby to airport this afternoon for her quick trip to see her aunt and cousins ..... should know more about the new Mum on Wednesday.

The weather has been cooler since Saturday, but I believe hotter weather is on its way within the next couple of days.

Very glad to hear you are feeling even better Sue....all systems go for the weekend..........wow.


How's work going Anne? Hope you enjoyed your training courses.....hahaha I bet you could have lead them yourself to be honest.



Frank....you obviously don't watch S the S. Two back legs for him when dancing! Very talented he is! A bit like you I suppose.....can turn his hand/hoof to anything.


Cuddley? mmm.......well, I am quite tactile, but only hug when I know it is going to be well received.


Lean 'n mean? Like the famous grilling machine??


With that, I had better beat a hasty retreat.

Night night friends. Cx.

Dream on Anne, If I was a puppet wearing a kilt, I certainly wouldn't want someone's cold hands working me.............

Cynthia, the only thing worse than Shaun the sheep would be a kilted Shaun the sheep doing Riverdance ;)

Anyway, how do you dance with four feet.......a bit like me with my two left feet only twice as bad!??

Susan, I coorie in to my OH in bed and she shoo's me away cos she's so hot............. (it's the change you know ;))

Sylvia, thankyou for your kind words and I am pleased to say that I am definitely not cuddly........at least not in the "Cynthia style" of cuddly ;)

Lean 'n mean.......well not mean in a bad way or in a Scots way or .......well not actually mean at all, just lean.

Ye ken...........

Morning all - very quick visit

I loved Lamb Chop & Shari Lewis - with her little crinkled nose - must be a sheep thing - I do adore pigs those - as i am a Pig myself (Chinese Astrology) my beloved is a Dragon. So we have lots of little dragon & piggie things around the room.

Hope your niece gets better soon Sylvia

Welcome back Robet ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Waves too

Frank - what can I say - I am sure I have seen Shaun in a kilt on one of the programmes - tossing a caber as well with a little Tam on his head. Or was that a dream?

Cynthia can't wait for the nest update.

Susan glad the rum worked well - have you tried a hot buttered Rum - wonderful

Off to breakfast now - take care all

Hi Everyone

Cynthia ,We go on Sat morning the flight takes off at 7.30 am so we have to leave Busselton at 1.30 am in the morning to be at the airport for 5.30 am ,two hours before flight takes off.
We are really looking forward to it ,a nice rest for the hubby too he is tired of work he says ,but he will be back at it as soon as we get home I am sure of that.

Nice to hear all the babies are thriving,I was one of the ones that could not breast feed with both of mine and they did ok.

Robert I am so glad you have popped in I felt I may of offended you and drove you away,you have really made my day now.
Please dont be a stranger.

Anne A hot Lemen and honey with a rum chaser is what I did have last night as I have now finished my antibiotics.
I do feel a lot better today and everyday I improve,just intime for my trip.

It si very cold in Wa at present ,2c last night I had to turn my electric blanket back on in the middle of the night.
Looking forward to a bit of warm ,then I will be glad to get back to the cold .

I am getting all my washing up together,will pop in later.

Suex

Lamb Chop v Shaun??? no contest!

Ever see Shaun do Riverdance? Brilliant.


Roast lamb indeed......huh......lol



Hope your niece recovers fully in the not too disant future Sylvia. Such a shame with two little ones.


Relieve to see that Robert has managed a little wave from his shell ~~~~~~~ waves back.


Has Sue gone away now? Time goes so quickly and I get my days muddled v. easily! Must be an age thing.

Just watched Sherlock Holmes - I like it even though I absolutely adored the traditional ones, especially those with Jeremy Brett in the star role.

Well, it's been a long day so will bid you all goodnight. Love. Cx

Hi all


hmmmmmmmmmmm

Anne said ..................... Shaun is cuddly and cheeky and gets into trouble a lot - nothing like Frank really

I think Frank is at least 2 out of those 3 ................... his OH might get upset if I say he's also cuddly :)))

It rained yesterday ........ whoopee!


I said earlier a niece had her 2nd child on the 31 July. The mother is now having a problem with her back ............... her back "went out" on Tuesday, by the next day she could not walk. Her husband had to literally carry her everywhere. She is almost 6' tall, and nicely built!

I don't know whether you know that all your ligaments etc in the pelvic area get "softened" so the pelvis can stretch open to let the baby out. Then they tighten up again after the birth. It seems that something must have gone a bit wrong during the birth at her sacro-iliac joint (the one right in the middle of your bum), and more went wrong as the ligaments tightened up.

She had 2 hours of physio on Thursday, and was able to walk out the door after it (husband had carried her in). She is under strict orders not to lift ANYTHING, including the baby. Husband has to do everything (including nappy changes), 24 hours a day, giving her the baby only to hold and feed ................ she also has a very active 2 year old. She lives in the same town as her mum (OH's sister), so has family help, and the elder daughter has been staying at least some nights with my sis-i-l. Her brother and sister are already there or due there today. J goes up tomorrow evening for a quick 2 night visit.

We're just hoping things get better soon.



Son-i-l got home safely on Friday, about 10 hours door to door. Now getting the 2 cats settled again (they had hosue sitters for 3 weeks, so cats have to get used to "normal" treatment!).

Having roast lamb (!!) and mint sauce tonight

Thank you Anne for bringing a touch of sanity back to this thread !

It's all lies you know as that Cynthia is just jealous. She has been making sheeps eyes at Shaun while insinuating that I have feelings for Lamb Chops ....... only with mint jelly.......mmm

As any Scotsman would confirm, sheep do not wear kilts as it would leave their extremities extremely vurnerable to thistles and gorse out on the hills.
This is reputedly where Scottish dancing first originated after some kilted natives were less than observant of the surrounding area.

By the way Josie, Lamb Chop was a girl so who's confused now ;))

Nice one Robert.

In shell, Contemplating and meditating.

Thinking of you all.

Josie - I am in shock ( I too like Lamb & mint sauce) but how can you mention Shaun in the same way.

Susan - hot lemon & honey - with a Whisky chaser - you need to get well for your hols.

Sylvia - the family are going at the end of August - but I will check with them - their dates changed

Lovely day here again - quite warm - does nothing for the water situation though.

Cynthia - try Shauns website - there should be a car Shaun on it you can purchase

Not sure if I think of Frank in the same way as Shaun - Shaun is cuddly & cheeky & gets into trouble a lot - nothing like Frank really.

Wonder how Wayne is & Robert - he hasn't been out of his shell for ages.

Evelyn - what are you doing - you haven't visited us for a while now.

Well off to finish lunch - will try & pop in again later - Take care all

Oh Cynthia.... how could you possibly think of Frank when you see Shaun?

For one thing Shaun is an adorable cuddly sheep ..don't know about Frank and for another Shaun doesn't wear a kilt...

Frank called him a puppet
I think sadly to say Dementia is setting in and Frank has confused Shaun with 'Lamb chops' who was a puppet who's alter ego was Shari Lewis.

Personally I Prefer my Lamb Roasted and served with mint sauce.

Now that I have caused outrage, I will slink off.

Take care everyone, especially you Susan. Catch you all later Josie

No visitors today???

Poor Sue, you have really been badly hit with whatever it was so I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. I am not surprised you are a little run down as you seem to have been hithering and thithering all over the place latey.

I do hope you enjoy your holiday and get a good rest.



Nothing very exciting to report today but, as you know, that's how I like it!


Going back to the other man in my life........Shaun.......everytime I look at him I tend to think of Frank. Will I get over it do you think?


I am on the look out for a small version to sit in the car with me so that I have someone to talk to when on my mum's taxi run!


Oh yes, I heard from Tracey this week. Little Madison is doing very well but it seems she has a hearing prob. Tracey hopes to pop in now and again to see us.

(if I had a memory, I would be dangerous!!)



Love to all. Cx.

Hi Everyone

It hit me again,My doc tor thought I may have one of the bad flu's but no only a normal flu but be cause I have been on a diet he thinks it may have made me a bit run down to start with.

I have lost 3 kl's anyway I have been so sick but I am on the mend now thank god.

It will take me a while to read all the posts but I shall get to it sometime today.

We are looking forward to our trip ,it will be nice and warm in Bali.
Get back to you all tonight.
Thankyou all for your good wishes.
Suex

'scuse me Frank. Shaun doesn't talk but his eyes say everything! I do like expressive eyes.........


Timmy seems to be everywhere but I admire Shaun for his intellect and his......eyes.



Had a nice lunch out today - looks like we all enjoy a meal out doesn't it? At least I didn't have to come home and baby proof the house! That should keep Sylvia on her toes.



Hope you enjoy watching Skating on Ice Josie....I saw bits of it but it made me very nervous. I stuck to Strictly Come Dancing......if felt safer.


Love to all. Cx.

Hey hey, we now have Friends over Fifty where we can find that special person of our dreams.

Shaun Sheep,

I enjoy getting close up and personal with cuddly over fiftys who can share my superior intellect while creating an amazing comic book character about a wooly puppet who likes talking about himself.

Preferred partners should be vegan and enjoy outdoor life and a bit of grass.

No bleating hearts please................
