Mo that is unacceptable, especially as more than one appointment was wrong. Don't forget to mention the mix up to your doctor. So frustrating for you.

Well girls, would you believe it...I went for my appointment with the doctor at 1.50, and was told that my appointment was at 12.50, and I would not be able to see the doctor till next Tuesday at 5.00p.m.
I was absolutley fuming, as the receptionist at the doctorshad phoned me, and made this time and date for me, and I wrote it down on the calender, as she was speaking to me, and I even repeated what she had told me.
Apparantly I was the third person who had missed an appointment today, and I argued with them saying it was obviously the receptionists fault for writing the wrong times down.
The woman I spoke to did agree with me, but said she couldn't really comment as the person who made the appointment was a work collegue.
She went in to see the doctor to explain what had happened ,but as she was fully booked all afternoon, I wouldn't be able to see her till Tuesday.
It's no good me seeing one of the other doctors, as they dont know my history.

Well enough of my moans and groans, how are we all keeping?
I hope all of us in the U.K have been enjoying the good weather, but it's not going to last is it.
Yesterday, I cleared all the weeds and moss from the front drive. Cor what a job, and my arms were killing me by the time I was done.
Today I have planted lots of Pansies into pots, and tomorrow I hope to get more plants put in, to make the garden look presentable for the summer...thats if we finally get one that is.

Well girls, I hope to hear from you soon. Take care one and all, Mo xxx

Mo, just want to wish you all the best with your doctors appointment tomorrow. I will be thinking about you. Good luck!



Sylvia, nice to hear from you and to know that you and OH are both alright.

As you say this site has been very, very slow for a good while, I don't know what on earth GR are doing....I know that they certainly need to sort it out.



Hope all our other friends on here are all okay.


Take care all.



Love, Sallie.xxx

Hi Mo, and everyone


I hadn't realised it was so long since I last posted :-(

I find GR so frustrating these days, with all the Error messages, and the slowness of the site, that I am spending less and less time on here.

I think I get the Error message when submitting a post about 85-90% of the time ................. but I've learnt to do one of the avoidance things.

I use a different one from the ones already posted, but I won't confuse you any more

The main thing is .................. do NOT hit SUBMIT more than ONCE!!!


Instead, I have been spending a lot of time re-checking my trees against some of the new records that are coming on to line.

Some times I work on my tree, and sometimes on OH's ........ I am finding quite a lot of stuff, and solving some mysteries


we're all well, spring is coming, the street trees are in full bloom, and Vancouver would look glorious ................ if only we could stop having rain :-)


Take care everyone

Thanks Ann, I will give that a go too.... it's going alright at the moment. (touch wood).lol!!


Mo, I didn't realise the last post I made had posted three times, until I came back on here this evening.lol!! All sorted now, at least until the next time.

It's was lovely to have dried the washing out on the line today, did a good bit of washing, now it all needs ironing - a job I hate, I'll do that tomorrow.



We have been thinking about having a new bathroom suite for a while now, so today we finally got round to ordering one, the one we are having will take between three and four weeks to come.....looking forward to having it done.


Speak to you all tomorrow.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Sallie, when you get the error message, hit the back button. Then don't try and submit again but go back into the thread (back button again) look at the thread and you will see that despite it saying error, it will have posted your post....... See?

LOL Sallie, three postings this time honey. I seriously don't think it's your computer, it's this site again.

Well what a glorious day it is today, sunshine across the board. I have been out in the garden, filling my planters with compost, in readiness for when I get my new plants this week.
I want the compost to settle, before I put the plants in, otherwise, it seems to settle to far down in the pots.
Another job that is now jobbed, is taking the moss out from between the paving slabs. Oooh so back breaking, but it looks much better now.

Time to start doing the dinner now, so I will see you later.
Love to all, Mo xxx

Thanks Huia, I'll try that when I get the problem next time.....so far today it's been okay.lol!!



Jean, as D suggested it might be worth giving the hospital a ring, goodness knows when you will hear otherwise. It can't be anything that they are worried about or you would have heard from them well before now, so try not to worry too much.

Hope D is getting along alright.... with no problems.



Ann, I'm thinking that perhaps I need a new laptop with all the problems I am getting with GR, but then there are so many others getting probs too.....I don't think we all need new laptops or desk tops.lol!!



Speak to you all later.



Love, Sallie.xxx

Sallie, I now count 10 seconds after I have hit submit, and if nothing has happened by then I hit the refresh button. If it does come up as Error before you have done that, hit the back arrow, then when it goes back, hit the refresh button. That usually does the trick.

Sallie I am still waiting for a date, D suggests Iring the hospital and see if its been sent in.....so I will do that, otherwise I could be waiting forever....

Oh Ann, I've just seen it.lolol!! I don't know what is happening on this site, I still keep getting Error messages when I post and sometimes I can't even get onto Shaun's or this thread.

It's a blinking nuisance.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Sallie, are you trying to beat my record? Five times for you. :-D

Hi Mo, I'm sure if there was anything to worry about the hospital would have been in touch with you to go back there. Maybe you have a hiatus hernia and will need some medication for it....my mother had one for years, but she suffered more from pain and discomfort than acid reflux, she was prescribed Tagamet when she was diagnosed with it.

I will be thinking about you and hope that all goes well for you on Wednesday.



Jean, have you heard about when you having a biopsy yet? It will be nice when it's all done and sorted.


Haven't been on GR for a few days...my cousin rang me and told me that her and her hubby have seperated after 24years of marriage, he has been having an affair. So that's it as far as my cousin is concerned. Just hope that she'll be alright.


Speak to you soon.



Love, Sallie.xxx

Huia that is exactly what happened to me a few years ago and I too have tablets to take and G.......n too, dont have too much of a problem so just keep off foods that m
make me have acid.....still have the hernia but its behaving itself.....

love Jean xx

Ann, pics sent xx

BTW, the acid reflux was apparently the cause of an annoying cough I had. It was virtually cured overnight after taking the first capsule, but I will probably have to keep taking the capsules.

Best wishes for a good result on Wednesday, Mo. When I had the endoscopies I was surprised to learn that I had a hiatus hernia. I had never (as far as I know) suffered from heartburn. I now take capsules to reduce the acid in my stomach. So perhaps that is all they want you for, to prescribe something for you.

Thank you Jean and Ann <3 <3 <3
My appointment is at 1.50 on Wednesday.
I am sure I am worrying for nothing, but the phone call from the surgery scared the pants off me, but I am o.k now everyone.
I am being very naughty, and am sitting here enjoying a mars bar, Mmmmm chocolate heaven, watching Emmerdale, chilling out.
Speak to you all later. Love and hugs Mo xxx

Well I wouldn't call Wednesday that quick. Maybe those sort of scans come through more quickly. Let's hope they have got a solution and remedy for you Mo. Shall be thinking of you on Wednesday. What time?

P.M sent no charge ;-) ;-)

Oooh girls, the doctors have phoned me, they have got the results of my scan already, and I have to go and see the doctor on Wednesday.
Now I am worrying myself to death, as to whats wrong. They are never this quick normally.
Love Mo xxx
